Today The King Speaks. Dr. Holt Dead. Japan's Earthquake. Still Going Up. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V_> The British king made his speech from the throne yesterday while unemployed workmen were • marching with rather poor music *■ the house of commons. ltie king said, “Our relations with foreign powers continue to be friendly,” or rather the prime minister, who wrote the speech for the king, said it. The important part of the king’s speech announces that a protective tariff has been abandoned. A king who says whatever the people want him to say, keeps out of politics and lives decently, isn’t a bad system for the British em pire. Dr. L. E. Holt is dead in Pekin. Many children that would have been dead without him, are alive, thanks to his intelligent care. And many mothers have been taught by him how to take care of their children. His death is a loss to the intelligent practice of medi cine. Fortunately, able men sur vive him, such as Dr. Kerley in New York, Dr. Abt in Chicago. In every city are men of scientific knowledge and devotion to duty, protecting the children. Hence the falling death rate. Another earthquake in Japan, with 50 known dead thus far. It seems as though nature, having afflicted other regions with Spanish influenza and the curse of war, determined that the Japanese should not escape. The world will sympathize with that courageous nation. Such disasters compared with the bulk of the earth are very slight, a mere shiver. They remind you of the earth’s extraordinary stability and steadfastness through the ages. Traveling 580,000,000 miles a year around the sun, carrying its thin atmosphere with it, this earth is a marvel of safe transportation. Prices are still rising. Where will they end—especially building prices? Builders of a tunnel under the Hudson river to unite this United States continent with the city of New York by vehicle traffic call for $14,000,000 more than they thought they would need. Miss Anne Morgan, consulting as to the right location for a work ing woman’s hotel and club, finds she must raise $4,500,000, whereas $2,500,000 would have been enough when the thing first start ed. It isn’t bad, however. Fourteen extra millions for the vehicle tunnel, two extra millions for the working girls’ home and club mean that men and girls are get ting paid better than they were. Higher prices, higher wages really mean high prosperity. New York is unnecessarily ex cited about the marriage of a young man. Count Ludwig Salm von Hoogstraeten, to a young lady supposed to inherit 40 or 50 Standard Oil millions from her grandfather, H. H. Rogers. When Mrs. O. H. P. Belmcnt, then Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, married her only daughter to the duke of Marlborough, she remark ed that it was better than marry ing her to a cocktail-drinking little nobody at Newport. Perhaps she was right. Marlborough didn’t turn out any too well, but at least the duchess saw something of life. This young Hoogstraeten at least exerted himself enough to go out and pick the large ripe peach on the tree of matrimony. He speak3 various languages, made a good-looking sheik, a moving picture actor, and is said to have good Jewish blood. That blood at least guarantees the antiquity of his line and energy in his blood. In one city four children have been dangerously bitten by rats. One infant would have died except for quick use of iodine by the mother. When will a nation as rich and Intelligent as this make up its mind to put an end to rats, flies, mosquitoes and other disease breeding vermin, or reduce them to • minimum? United action by the national government and the 48 states would make rats scarce as wolves, and mosquitoes as scarce as eagles. We spend $100,000,000,000 to mix in a fight in Europe, but we can’t spend $20,000,000 or $50, 000,000 to get rid of vermin, whose end would mean thousands of lives and hundreds of millions saved every year, Mr. Norman H. Davis, estimable gentleman, sails for Europe to help settle discussion about Memel. what has this nation to do with Memel? What business is it of ours to supply a man to settle discussion that the league of na tions can’t settle for themselves, with all their bragging about the wonderful things that they were to do? How many of 1 10,000,000 Americans know anything about Memel, a little strip of territory running 35 miles along the Baltic sea? If the league of nations can’t succeed in making a neutral zone of that as the Versailles treaty intended, why do we get mixed up in it? Haven’t we enough business of our own to attend to? General Dawes is in Paris, help ing other reparations commis sioners to eat a very fine dinner with “Bordeaux wine 50 years old.” That’s nonsense, of course, for Bordeaux wine, even the strongest Lafite, doesn’t keep in good condition for 50 years. It hasn't enough alcoholic strength. Mr. Dawes has talked some com mon sense, hut sending him there is nonsense. What have we to do with their reparations, with the amount that one of them can take from the other in gold? (Cupyrlif Ity i• 2• > Pair Accused in Girls Death Free on Bond Inqueet Over Hotly of Alleged Illegal Operation Thurs day—Nurse’s Bond Is Raised. Dr. F. A. Edwards, 4164 Cuming street, held on a charge of murder while performing an Illegal operation on Lillian Holman, 18, 1117 South Tenth street, was released at noon Wednesday on $5,000 bond, secured by a property schedule belonging to George Campbell, 1124 South Thir teenth street. Mrs. Lillian Child, nurse, jointly ac cused with Dr. Edwards, was re leased Tuesday night on $3,000 bond signed by Mrs. Clara M. Byrnes, 1010 Olenwood avenue. Wednesday morning anothed bonl,‘ in sum of $10,000, also s'gned by Mi . Byrnes, was substituted for the $3,000 bond. No reason was given for the increase in the amount of the bond. Agnes Hubert, maid at the Child home, where the operation Is alleged to have been performed, and who was arrested as a state witness, was re leased on $200 bond, also signed by Mrs. Byrnes. Dr. Edwards, prior to his release at noon, appeared highly nervous. His movements were jerky and his eyes were restless. "Were other doctors using this house where the operation was per formed?'' he was asked abruptly. "Yes,” he said. He declined to make any other comment in connection with the charge against him, on the advice of his attorney. Meanwhile, supporting Dr. Ed wards' admission that other physi cians were taking patients to the Child home. County Attorney Henry Beal alleged that a ring of at least 12 physicians Is performing illegal operations in Omaha. Collection of evidence against them, and convic tions even after the evidence is ob tained, are difficult, he said. "In addition to that,” he added, "I am confident that with the aid of the government We may ferret out one or two ‘physicians’ who are operating on a diploma purchased for $50 or $100. That is the extent of their medi cal education.” Iowa Farm Bureau Meet Gets Under Way Des Moinea, la., Jan. 15.—Prelim inaries to the fifth annual convention of the Iowa Farm Bureau federation got under way here today with a meet ing of the executive committee this forenoon and a meeting of all the vot ing delegates this afternoon.

Red Cloud, Neb., Jan. IB.—A ver dict of Justifiable homicide was re turned at the coroner's Inquest into the death of Arthur G. Hamer, who was shot by his wife, Ida, in a strug gle for possession of a pistol with which Hamer is said to have threat ened her life. According to the jury's statement, the shooting was done in seif defense. Since the divorce action was dis missed a little over a week ago, the couple had been living together on their farm northeast of Campbell. According to Mrs. Hamer's story to county officials her husband became enraged while the two were discus sing the cost of the divorce litigation Saturday morning in bed and he reached under his pillow for a revol ver. In the scuffle which followed the weapon was accidentally dis charged, the bullet striking him in the head and killing him Instantly. Mrs. Hamer started for this city with her four children immediately following the shooting and late Sat urday morning gave herself up to the sheriff, turning over the revolver. Ac cording to Mrs. Hamer, and neigh bors, Hamer had threatened several times lately to "get" the county at torney and sheriff for bringing di vorce action against him for Mrs. Hamer. Mrs. Hamer has refused to talk since being lodged in Jail here, refer ring all Intel viewers to her attorney, Bernard McNeny, who Is out of the city today. The dead man was a brother of Frank Hamer, resident of Lincoln, and the son of a former wealthy Lin oln business man.

By Aworilln] Des Moines. Ia., Jan. 16.—The busi ness of farming is the most talked about business in the world today, and the Iowa farmer may have every confidence tn the future of his land, with the assurance that nol>ody in this generation will again have op portunity to purchase Iowa farms at so low a price as they can he bought today. Secretary Raymond Cassady of the Iowa department of agriculture declared In an address before the Iowa Farm Bureau federation con vention. Corn alone tvill keep Iowa land at the top in value among the agricul tural lands of the country, the secre tary said. "One of the most hopeful things about the year 1924,” he as serted. "is the way the Iowa farmer Is holding his corn. If marketing of the 1923 corn crop can be distributed over the 12-month period evenly corn need never be lower this year than It is today.” The secretary spoke largely upon the organization of the affairs of his office, which Avas established by the 40th general assembly. Consolidated Bureaus. "The rapidly Increasing cost of gov ernment, both state and federal, was one of the main factors In the cre ation of the new Iowa department of agriculture,” said. Mr. Cassady. The 40th general assembly consolidated 13 bureaus which had heretofore been Independent of each other. The big gest undertaking which confronted the new department was to consoli date different lines of inspection work to do away with duplication. The state was divided into 30 district*, compris ing from two to five counties. One inspector was placed In each district. “Inspection under the old system cost approximately $2, and as made this year by the new department of agriculture the cost had been reduced to 74H cents each. The total expense of all department* for the first six months a year ago was $82,494.40. The cost during the corresponding pe riod this year was $56,067.49, a saving of 32 per cent. New Warehouse Act. "The last general assembly passed an act which enables a farmer to warehouse his grain on his own farm. The federal warehousing Is of little benefit to the Iowa farmer because, owing to the size of his grain crops. It la not easy for him to store them In bonded warehouses. The last leg islature made it possible for a farmer to seal his grain In his own crib or granary and put It up as collateral for money which he wishes to bor row. The act has not been used yet to a great extent, but the ground work has been laid and local ware house boards formed In 30 counties. "We are all agreed that the Iowa farmer needs no further credit facili ties. He has had all the credit neces sary, and one of his trouble* has been due to too easy credit. "However, the farmer Is handi capped In the rate of Interest he has to pay for the outside money which ha uses In hls business. It take* a short time loan to command a low Interest rate, and short time money is of little benefit to the farmer. Common practice has established a higher rate of Interest for the agri cultural classes than Is asked from the commercial Interests In most larger cities. Any procedure which will bring a lower Interest rate to the farmer Is worthwhile. This farm warehouse certificate, with proper management by local boards snd the agriculture department back of It, makes a form of collateral as good as any that exists. It seems likely that in time there will be a demand for these certificates by bankers and Wallace Warns Against Producing More Food Than Can Be Marketed Warning against producing more than the markets can absorb at a price equal to tlie cost of production was issued by Henry C. Wallace, sec retary of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, in his address to the Ainencan National Livestock association in its annual convention, at Hotel Fontenc-lle. Tuesday. “Agriculture and the livestock in dustry are entering a new period, Just now*” lie said. “Readjustment is necessary because the stimulus of war demand has led to overproduction This must be along the lines of all other business. "I know that some will answer that there are millions of people in Kurope who lack sufficient food, and that there is no such thing as overproduc tion while a single human being goes hungry. But I say that when we pro duce more than we can sell at a price equal to the cost of production—and the price should be better than that— then there is overproduction. It is well to feed the hungry, but not at the expense of a single class or industry. It there is to be charity. It should be of a public kind, in which all the peo ple contributed.” Raffling I’robleiu of Relief. For months, the secretary said, sen ators and congressmen have been holding hearings in the endeavor to find means of relief for food pro ducers. That they had not found a solution was not due to lack of knowledge of the seriousness of the situation or the will to help, but be cause of the magnitude of the ques tion. With cattlemen from 12 western states before him, Mr. Wallace ex plained the stockyards control act. de fining its general purpose as that of other loan agencies which will make them command a lower rate of Inter est. Confidence in Land. "The Iowa land owner can have every confidence as to the future value of Iowa land. The amount of land where corn can be grown suc cessfully is not large. The uses for com are increasing every year and It is now a more important crop than wheat. In the face of the two big gest crops ever produced, com has more than doubled In price and the supply w as practically exhausted when the present crop came on."

Alternates are Mrs. Thomas Casady of Omaha. Mrs. gearing all the elements of meat pro ductfon into an efficient engine. He severely criticized meat packers for refusing to let him examine their books under the terms of the Capper Kendrick packer control law, which gives the secretary of agriculture su pervision over parking houses, stock yards and commission houses. Not to Add to Costs. "These great companies," he said, "told us that they had nothing to con ceal and for that reason it was not necessary to give the government power to examine their hooks. Now, that the hill is law, they refuse to let let us look at them." He added that the livestock ex changes had been throughout helpful In the administration of the law. whose full benefit would not he felt for many years. He voiced his oppo sition to the merger of the Armour and Morris Parking companies. The secretary promised the range cattle men that there would be no Increase in grazing charges in the government domain this year, and probably not next. Except for the hard lot of the cattle industry, he be lieved charges should be put on a higher and commercial basis. A federal corporation to handle farm exports is needed, Mr. %\ aliace said. "The export corporation contem plates taking out of the domestic market the exportable surplus, and dumping that wheat on the foreign market at whatever price it will bring,” he explained. “Then we would raise the tariff high enough to bring the domestic price of wheat somewhere near the prewar price. The loss on exported wheat would be distributed among all wheat con sumed at home." Mulligan of Beatrice, Mrs. Brown of Lincoln. Mrs. Krause of Fullerton and Mrs. Clements of Lincoln. "There are two ways of looking through a telescope," said Bishop E. V.

V . . . _ _ _'_✓ (Wyoming Solon Shies Politics Senator Kendrick in Omaha to Talk to Livestock Association. “i reckon it's a good time for us western democrats to just lay low In the sagebrush.'' said Senator J. B Kendrick Wednesday evening. Senator Kendrick is in Omaha to attend the National Livestock asso ciation meeting and addressed the convention Wednesday afternoon on legislation needed by the livestock and agricultural Interests of the west, after which he will go to his home in Sheridan, Wyo., for a few days. Asked about himself as a possible contender for the democratic presi dential nomination. Senator Kendrick smiled and replied: “There is one editor i» Wyoming who seems to have the right angle on that, and he treats mention of my name in that connection In a very sarcastic manner. "Right now it appears to me that McAdoo is far in the lead for the nomination, and lie certainly stands for the things that are of greatest interest to the west.” But, Senator interest to the west.” Speaking of the Teapot Dome in vestigation, Senator Kendrick said that the investigation was disclosing some very peculiar things, and things that would require a lot of explaining. “It looks like somebody’s tail was getting pinched in the door," was his western way of putting It. “But it would hardly do for me to express an opinion while the sena toriai Investigation is under way." Asked for an opinion about W. J Bryan's suggestion of Dr. Murphree of Florida for the democratic presi dential nomination. Senator Kendrick smiled and replied that he was just a little bit surprised at it, because it seemed likely to cause a little fric tion right here in Nebraska. The senator smilingly refused to be quoted on the situation In house and senate, remarking that right now he was giving his undivided atten tlon to mingling with the delegates to the National Livestock association,, and then expected to devote a few days to private affairs In his home-, state. Senator Kendrick has been Inter ested in ttie livestock Industry In Wyoming for many years and is one of the largest cattle raisers and feed ers in the country. He is looked to by western livestock men as their ablest representative in congress. “Senator Kendrick and I do not politically,” said Frank Curry of Broken Bow, “hut we cattlemen know that he Is always looking after our interests, and we know we can dept-rid upon him to fight our battles whenever needed.” Nevvsbov Shoots Bandit in Chest Des Moines Gas Station Rob ber Claims Home in Omaha.
