COOK TO PRISON FOR OIL FRAUD (3* Pinchot Is Given Warm Welcome % West Meets Pennsylvania Governor at the National Farmers’ Union Con vention. New Hat May Enter Ring The west rivet Gifford Pinchot, gov ernor of Pennsylvania, yesterday; rep resentatives of farmers from all parts of the United States heard the chief executive of the Keystone state and they liked him. The hearty reception which greeted him on his entrance to the ballroom to speak to delegates the national convention of the l^^armers' union and the invited pub lic. proved that. The prolonged and spontaneous applause following his speech left the Impression that his audience was not disappointed. Mr. Pinchot did not see Mr. Bryan, who was to arrive in Omaha yester day at 4. Mr. Bryan a day or two ago declined Governor Pinchot’s invita tion to a conference on the coal situa tion. With clenched fist pounding homo his points in the other hand or with upraised forefinger pointing out some salient feature in his address, Gov ernor Pinchot, slightly taller than the average man, delivered himself of several statements which were taken as an indication that soon another hat may join the cluster in the presiden tial ring. He dwelt on the necessity of develop ment for the future with many im mediate changes helpful to the farmer. His speech follows: Market Big Need. "The fundamental need of the farm er is a satisfactory market. By^at isfactory, I mean a market that will not only take the farmer's products hut take them at a price sufficiently above the cost of production to give him a good living with his fair share of the advantages and opportunities of modern civilization. How can such a. market be provided? “The'first essential fact to consider is that the farmer's market lies main ly at home ip American towns and cities. Unless they are prosperous they cannot buy freely. Prosperous ^gBf..i>s ami cities are absolutely neces sarv for the farmer's, market. They serve as an automatic regulator, lie cause they absorb any excess of man power on the farms, and thus estab lish a Sail- balance between what it costs the farmer to produce his crops and what he gets for them. Prosper ity in the towns and cities, moreover, means an abundant supply of the things the farmer needs to buy, just as a good market means that the farmer will hav* money to buy them. “Jn the second place, the farmer needs a better market abroad. We can help tb get It In two ways. One is by doing our part to improve ccn-1 dltions In Europe, and thus to li« crease the buying capacity of Eu ropean countries. The other Is by providing through national legisla tion for special credit facilities for farm products, and especially for wheat. Jf we can take care of wheat, other farm products wilKollow. Must Consider Future. “The foregoing has to do with im mediate improvement of the farmrr's market. We must look after that, but we must look after more than that. Without neglecting anything that can lie done to improve the farmer's mar (Turn to Pur Three. Column One.) 12,000 N. Y. Police Hunt Baby Killer lly International »n« gen-lee.

Pressure to Be Brought to Bear o on Pinchot to Seek Nomip' Drys All Over Country and Roosevelt Progr Him to Be Candidate, But His Running jl Hiram Johnson, Sullivan Says. By MARK SULLIVAN. Philadelphia, NoV. 21.—Because much of Hiram Johnson’s fortunes depend upon whether or not Gov ernor Plnchot of Pennsylvania will also be in the race, the latter's ac tions at# the principal subject of im mediate speculation among repub lican politicians. The facts al>out Pinchot's situation are roughly these: For several weeks he has been under pressure from the prohibition ists and the class whom politicians call the church people, to be a candi date. The dry's are strong for Pin chot everywhere. The rank hnd file of the anti-saloon league is for him in spite of some events that led to a mistaken public impression other wise. Very recently there has been added to this {t large amount of pres sure from old progressives and Roosevelt followers, who are unwill ing to assent to Hiram Johnson's claim that it is he who wears the Roosevelt mantle. How Pinchot will react to this pressure is a subject of as much speculation here in his own state as in Washington. But not even Pin chot's closest intimates pretend to guess with any confidence what his decision will be. It is a fact that some of Pinchot's best friends in Pennsylvania are reluctant to see him run for president. Their reluct Barrett Named Farmers’ Union Head 19th Time Vance Monroe of Colorado Tells of Child Instruction in Co-Operation in His State. For the 19th consecutive year Charles S. Barrett, Union City, Ga., and A. C. Davis, Oravette, Arlt.. were elected president and secretary re spectively of the national body of the Farmers’ Educational and Co Operative union. The convention finished its second day at Hotel Castel yesterday. E. L. Harrison, Lexington, Ky., was reelected vice president. The former board of directors re turned to their work. The board is comprised of J. M. Collins, Eaton, Colo.; C. J. Osborn, Omaha, Neb.; J. Tromhle, Sallna, Kan.; John W. Batchelor, Mission Hill, 8. D.. and George H. Bowles. Lynchburg, Va. Resolutions committee Is expected to report this morning. Other mm mitee reports will be made at this lime. Vance Monroe, Denver, Colo., spe ciiaist in child instruction in co-op eration outlined the system in vogue in his state to teach the children of farmers the value and significance of working together. The whole movement, according to Mr. Monroe, is self governed. The children In these clubs have their own code of honor, their courts, libraries and program. Children belonging to the 18 clubs in Colors <^i, representing 2.000 mem bers, are shown to be more dutiful to parents ami to be advancing more rapidly in school. "Within 15 years the cooperation among farmers of this country will be wel la long the road to perfection." said Mr. Monroe, "because of I Ilia syatem, which places each club mem ber on his honor. This Is the first attempt of its kind in history.” The various committees worked far Into the night preparing their re ports. Moros in Clash With Soldiers By AswrlMpfl PffM. Manila, Nov. 21.—A constabulary force under Major Robert K. Ourk worth-Ford, which baH been pursuing Moro outlaws In llie l.ake Lnnao region of Mindanao, recently attacked a small band led by t'hlef Kan 11 a go and broke It up. according to a report received here today. Three ciinsrti biliary soldiers were killed In the encounter. The number of Moro casualties was not slated. _ i . Two by Four Equals—? Two sets of housekeep ing rooms rented by two advertisements in four days equals anything that she has ever seen for results, says Mrs. Bogue of 223 Park Ave. Mr*.

If you want re-# sulta at h fair price, place your Want Ail In The Omaha Bee FIRST. Just phone AT 1000. IT’S RESULTS THAT COUNT mice Is based on the fact that even they, friendly as they are to Pinchot, doubt whether, as thing* stand to day, he could get all or even half the delegates from Pennsylvania. Unpopular Politically. Within his own state Governor Pin chot is at the moment in a weak position, politically speaking. Pin chot, acting in the Interest of efficient administration and economy, forced an unwilling legislature to grant him such powers as perhaps no other governor ever had. For the purpose of reorganizing the administrative machinery of the state, Governor Pinchot was given power to consolidate bureaus, lop off bureaus and rismiss unnecessary pub lic servants or reduce the compensa tion of others. In the course of this work he had removed many who have spent a lifetime as Job holders at the state capital. Each of these me nis in most cases a political po^er in his own home county. The result is that if Pinchot should try for the delegates from Pennsylvania, he would have the ag gregate opposition of a considerable number of politicians who are power ful locally In their communities. Add ed to this is the fact that if Pinchot runs at all. he runs as an extreme dry; ami also the clear fact is that some portions of Pennsylvania are very wet. The result Is that even Pinchot's friends admit that he would have difficulty in getting half of Pennsylvania's 78 delegates. Friends See Win. His enemies claim that he would not get more than a quarter of them. A few of Pinchot's friends, as well as some good Judges of Pennsyl vania politics, declare that in spite of all this. If Pinchot should go into the fight with his customary energy as the spokesman of moral Issues, he would get the bulk of the delegates from his state. To sum up, as tings stand, if Pin chot does not become a candidate for the presidential nomination, „the bulk of Pennsylvania's 78 delegates will go to Chicago uninstructed, but fav orable to Coolidge. They win be largelly in the control of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Senator Pepper and ti-nator Heed, and they will lie prevailingly disposed to nominate Coolidge. This Is subject to the ex ception that If Hiram Johnson comes Into the sttae and makes a vigorous personal canvass he will take measur able number of the delegates away from the local organization. There are districts, especially about Pittsburgh, where Johnson has made speeches against the league of na tions. which speeches have made him a local favorite in these communities. A vigorous personal canvass by John son, and adequate organization In his behalf, would get him a considerable number of the Penqs^vania dele gates. ^ Progressives Will Act. •At the same time, if Johnson enters Pennsylvania, "the pressure on Pin chot to become a presidential candi date also will be au< h that he can hanHy avoid it. The old Roosevelt and progressive following In Penn sylvania will be determined to have some c>ne other than Johnson repre sent them in the race. To j'our correspondent, it' would sci-ni necessary to admit that as things are at the moment, Plneltot has not ns much chance to csray his own state of Pennsylvania for the presidential nomination as he had for the governorship nomination two years ago, and he won that only hy the narrowest of margins and by virtue of a split in Ihe organization opposed to him. Neveerihelesa everybody knows that Pinchot’s temperament Is such that Ids decision to run or. not to run will not be determined or even affected by any cautious thought of his chances for success. Also, there are two other factors pointing toward Plnchot entering the race. One Is that the pressure on Plnchot from outside Pennsylvania Is very strong. The oilier is that there Is among the churches and church people of Penney I van In a spirit of crusading zeal about prohibition and law en forcement Which may grow to out weigh nil ordinary political consider ations.

Side Bet May Be Placed O'Neill, Neb., Nov. *21.—John Davis of Page and James Kelley and .1. M. Riley of O'neill may meet with in the next two weeks in a contest to settle the corn husking champion ship of north Nebraska and for a medal to be offered by the O'Neill Commercial club and a substantial side bet put up by the several back ers of the three speedy corn pickers. A hot argument at present Is being waged hetween the friends of Davis and Kelley as to which can pick and crib the most corn in a day, while the backers of Mr. Riley Insist that he is the best all-around corn picker in 1 the state, although each of the other two exceed him In the number of bushels husked and cribbed within a single day. Davis' record, made last Saturday near Page, in Holt county, was 175 bushels picked and cribbed In nine hours and 36 minutes. One the same dav Kelley, picking com on his own ranch, close to O'Neill, husked and cribbed exactly 160 bushels In eight hours and seven minutes. Kelley’s friends declare that working the same length of time as Did Davis, ho would have gathered at least 190 bushels. Wliile friends o fth# two sre grow ing heated over which is the hest busker, Riley, with an average for the last 20 working days of 147 bush els, husked and cribbed per day of eight hours. Insists that he is en titled to recognition when champion ship honors are being passed around. Riley is husking corn on the fleers ranch, northwest of O'Neill, working In corn which, owing to the wet year, Is running but 55 bushels to the acre, while the yield* on the Kelley and Davis places, also reduced somewhat by the unuaual wetness, sre aver aging 60 bushels. All three of the champion pickers are using rubber husking mitten*. Men Locked in Box Car. Claim - % Local Police Search 100 Cars From Sioux City in Vain.

M M Guilt of County J Clerk Is Factor in Souder Trial Claim Is Made That Former Must Be Convicted Before Latter Is Found Guilty. By Ansoriatwl Pres*. North Platte, Neb., Nov. 21—An im portant element in the trial of Carl R. Goucher of Omaha, on trial here charged with aiding and abetting for gery of county warrants, will be proof of guilt of Arthur 8. Allen, former county clerk, who already has enter ed a plea of guilty to forgery Indict ments, Involving Goucher. This phase of the case was clearly brought to the front this afternoon by At torney Sullivan of Broken Bow. who, in cross examining prospective jurors for the defense, declared that the state must prove that Allen is guilty before it can convict Goucher. Goucher is charged by the State, In three Indictments, to have Influenced the former county clerk to Issue county warrants to an Omaha print ing company to cover warrants pre viously paid the Omaha concern, his employers, and which he Is alleged to have appropriated for himself. Prospective Jurors were questioned closely as to their opinion of the guilt or innocense of Allen by defense attorneys, who explained that It would be a vital element in Gouch ed's trial. Selection of the jury is proving a tedious task. When court adjourned tonight, two of the prospective Jurors had been excused for cause and tha defense had not concluded cross ex amination. Attorneys have not yot exercised their challenges and it is considered likely that most of to morrow will be devoted to the selec tion of a jury. Attorney Sullivan renewed his mo tion for a change of venue this af ternoon on the ground that state ments had been made in all parts of the county, charging that various county officials and others under in dictment. as the result of the investi gation of county affairs last spring, were guilty, and that it would not be possible to find Jurors free from opin ion, bias and prejudice. Hi* motion was overruled. It was brought out this afternoon that the juror*, who may yet be excused, were members of the Lincoln Pounty Taxpayers’ league, and at lca*t two attended the convention here last spring at which resolutions were adopted that action be taken to investigate, remove and prosecute county afficlals who were guilty of Irregularities.

C. Filley of the college of agriculture of the Univer sity of Nebraska at the annu.il con vention of the N br.iska Farmers' Co operative Grain and Livestock asso ciation at the Rome hotel yesterday afternoon Mr. FiHey recently was unsuccessfully sued by W. G. Kck hardt, former treasurer of the Unit ed States Grain Growers, Inc., for criticism of the methods used in th^ venture. "One trouble with Sapiro's system of organised co-operatives is that it is so •‘ogtly." Mr. Filley said. "I doubt ft there is a co-operative man ager in Nebraska who is paid mors than $5,000 a year, and our Institu tions are prosperous. Hut when Mr. Hapiro organls-d the Dark Tobacco Growers of Kentucky he tendered a hill to the association for $36.r><)0. It seem-d largo to a considerable num ber of the directos*. but it was final ly paid. In addition to this he se cured the ppointment of a man as manager at $C0.0Ofl. The director of the warehouse was paid $18,000 a year. ' Vet Sapiro came to Nebraska and told us our sj'stem was ail wrong. I do no! think it is. and I don't lika his system any better than he likes ours." Secretary J. W. Shorthil! of Omaha declared that any campaign to In crease the price of wheat would be certain to destroy the effects of a campaign for decreased acreage. Asser.ing that when present qual ity waa considers, the price of wheat Is far better than at some other times In the past. Mr. Shorthill declared hat "the spellbinder who really de sired to help the farmer can do a lot more for him tlf anything at all) by dir%ting his attention to those things that are too ridiculously high and because of that fact are halting busi ness. ’ \V. H Green of Omaha, secretary of the Nebraska progressive party, who recently returned from Russia, said ths farmers of the United States "might as well forget foreign mar kets for the next two years, because you are not going to get them." He further asserted that more freedom was offered the Russian "co operative system than la afforded by tlee gov ernment of the United States ” All officers of the organisation, including J. S.
