Kansas Public Utlities Head
Demands Carriers Show
Figures on Business
for 1923.
Quick Action Is Sought
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1G.—The
fight for a reduction In grain rates
for the middiewest farmer reached a
demand for a showdown today when
Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Kan
sas public utilities commission, asked
the interstate commerce commission
to request the western railroads to
^ furnish detailed figures on their busi
ness and revenue for 1923.
The request was made at the hear
ing in progress here on grain rates
before two members of the commis
sion.
Speaking in hchalf of the eight
state public utilities commissions,
Reed asked that the information he
made available within the next 10
days. He asked that the railroads
show the nymber of cars handled,
the average haul per car, the total
gross revenue and the gross revenue
per ton mile. '
John G. Esch, one of the interstate
commerce commissioners, said he
would take the request under ad
visement.
Incomes of less than $1 a day were
realized by farmers in South Dakota
in the years of 1921 and 1922, C. C.
Worsham testified at the hearing.
Some of the annual family incomes
in counties of that state, where
wheat is grown extensively, were as
low as $368 in 1921, Worsham de
clared.

Track Near Peru—Three
Men Leave Scene.
Peru, Neb., Nov. 16.—The engineer
('n Burlington passenger train No. 98
Thursday evening discovered a rail
road tie and some bridge lumber
placed on the track ahead of him aa
he rounded a curve about eight miles
north of here, between Peru and Ne
braska City. The obstrucUons had
been picked up from along the track
where they were taken out of the
track by workmen a short distance
away, and were laid squarely across
the rails so that the engine would
have hit them. It was Just after
dark when the train came upon the
obstructions and the engineer saw
the shadow' by the glare of the head
light. When the train stopped the
crew Is said to have seen three men
run from the vicinity and enter a
boat at the bank of the Missouri
river and row away. Railway and
county authorities are working on the
case.

Is Reported at Red Cloud
Red Cloud, Neb., Nov. 16.—Only
three marriage licenses have been Is
sued by the county judge here since
the new law went into effect August

w
Senate Investigation Denounc
ed by Head of Disabled
Yanks for Lack of
Results. ,
Not in Defense of Forbes
By International News Ken Ire.
Washington, Nov. 1G.—A new ele
ment was injected into the senato
rial investigation of the United States
veterans' bureau today when the in
; vestisatlng committee Itself was sub
jected to severe criticism for "in
quiring into waste, frauds, graft and
scandal while failing to improve con
ditions among the disabled."
His statement read to the com
mittee. in part follows:
"I have just returned from a tour
of the Pacific coast states and south
ern states, which took me Into the
hospitals and vocational schools In
many sections of the country, and I
must tell j^ou the men are astounded
at the mislreformation and are dis
appointed at the lack of constructive
proposals for Improving conditions of
the disabled. They, of course, do not
know what has been done in the clos
ed sessions of the committee, and we
hope that much has been done at
those sessions, but they want to know
what is being done for them, and I
believe they are entitled to know
that the work of the committee is not
being confined to efforts to show up
waste and graft in the administra
tion of the bureau. Too much of
such testimony heing broadcast over
the country reflects on all officials
of the bureau, and will finally re
act against the bureau beneficiaries."
James A. McFarland, head of the
Dlaabled American Veterans, denounc
ed the investigation from the witness
stand. He said the disabled men
were "astounded, hurt and bitterly
disappointed" at the methods employ
ed by the committee's counsel (Maj.
Gen. John F. O'Ryan), to develop
scandal. He demanded to know
"what Is being done by the commit
tee” Tot" the disabled veterans.
He said "nothing of a constructive
nature has come out of the public
hearings" and he described the testi
mony as reading "like an account
of a dog fight."
Senator Walsh, democrat, of Massa
chusetts, declared:
"It Is a little disheartening after
we gave gup our whole summer to
this work to have the leader of the
veterans come here to Insinuate that
this committee has not done Its work
properly.”
“I didn't say that, senator," Mc
Farland replied.
"I said the men were discouriged
by the way the case was presented
by the committee's counsel."
“You have said the committee
spent too much time on graft."
"That's what the disabled men
think.” McFarland said.
McFarland finished by saying that
he was "no friend of Forbes" and
that on the contrary his organization
"had made more trouble for Forties
than any other.”

SUNNY SIDE UP
"Not responsible for anything lost
In this cafe,” Is a sign in a well
known eating place. I'm going to
have an argument with the proprietor
one of these days. Whenever I eat
there f lose my appetite. If he Isn’t
responsible for the loss, why should
I pay him?
Stood on the corner of Seventeenth
and Farnarn for an hour yesterday
and watched the crowds go by. A
quarter of a century ago I could
have called by name two-thirds of
the men who passed. Yesterday I
knew only two, J. B. llaynes and
Bob Druesedow.
A veteran editor was In town yes
terday. That Is to say, hp was a
Nebraska editor at one time, but a
lawyer now. W. W. White of the
old home town of Bering. White
went to Banner county, Nebraska, In
1S85 and art up a printing outfit on
Punkln creek (if the linotype expert
and proofreader conspire to spell thnt
Pumpkin there’ll be a riot) and pro
ceeded to try to make folks believe
It wafc going to lie the site of the
county seat. But a fellow named
l.andall started a paper whero Harris
burg now stands and lent White to
the county scut. So White quit the
newspaper business and became a
lawjer. Randall sold out years ugo
and went to California, where he was
elected to congress as a prohibitionist.
The only thing left at White’s chosen
site Is f’unkln creek.

serious questions If we are to take
seriously all tho argument*nnd dis

Mr, Commissioner Itutler to Mr.
Mayor Uahlman.
John W. Welch Is forgiven. II*

He winds up his confession by Invit

tells me I'm going to like that man.
Admitting that my remarks about
the letters the wife gives her hus

on ft couple of occasions, J. W.
Blanchard of Council Bluffs wants

have seen the Hastings girls' cadet
corps drill may have wondered If they
could shoot the guns that they carry
so smartly with any degree of accur
acy. The University of Nebraska
girls' rifle team cnn hardly answer
for Hastings, but the scores of Its
members are conclusive proof that
girls can shoot, and shoot straight.
Already there are five girls on the
team who have made perfect scores
at 50 feet, shooting from a prone posi
tion, and there are a number of others
who ere not far behind. The records
of the military department show tltit
29 girls who have shot on the Indoor
range this year have made 41 or bet
ter out of a possible 50, and the in
structor. Captain V. O. Huskea, V. S.
Infantry, declares that perfect scores
for all of them Is only a matter of a
little additional trolnlng.
The ilfle team haa challenged a
number of girls' teams throughout the
country to competitive matches, and
acceptances have been received from
13 organizations. The matches will
be conducted In January, February
and March, each organization to shoot
on Its own range and the icsult to be
decided from a c< mparlson of scorer.
The plans of the military depart
ment call for two teams of 15 each,
a junior and a senior team, and the
team attaining the highest average
will represent the unlveislty In nation
al girls' rifle tearp competitions.
From the junior and senior teams
seven girls who have shot the high
est scores will lie 'elected to represent
the university In the Intercollegiate
matches. Ks, h girl will fire ten tar

Senator Borah has taken pub>,-ly a
position discouraging to Johnson's

f«lt there was what he regarded as
rhe danger of America entering the

Johnson * speaking tour and his can
didacy altogether a* a necessary and
desirable means of political education
For the same reason. In 1920, prac
tically all the old republican Irrecon

thdr blessing. .

one time seemed to think It was de
ferable for Johnson to ho In the race.
Is not now associated with the Chi
cago group who are urging Johnson
to run. Kenyon of Iowa, who wss
one of Johnson’• senatorial barkers
in 1920. Is now a federal Judge and
cut of politics.
The net of it all is that Johnson

Is now the pressing need for a direct
spokesman of this cause In the presi

Brook hart, do not regard Johnson as

Within the democratic field the
hulk of the comment about the ses

No one doubts that these leaders of

the fact is. McAdoo and his friends

Many of these members of parlia
