Nation Bows

Is Placed in Crypt
With Simple
Dignity.
Crowds Weep at Cortege
By APHMM'Intrd Prfw.
^ Washington, Feb. tl.— A proud and
sorrowing nation said its long fare
well today to Woodrow Wilson.
With the solemn rites of the church
and the swelling bugle notes of the
soldier's requiem, lie was laid In mar
ble to begin his tlmelesis, honored
sleep.
In the house where he lived his
last days and gave up his soul at last
to his Maker simple services were
said in the presence of his family and
close friends and a select company of
officials who had come to symbolize
the grief of the government he served
so long.
On the sturdy shoulders of men
who went to war at his command,
be was carried tenderly forth to make
his pilgrimage to the place of entomb
ment. At the cathedral where his
broken body was laid to rest there
was another service, almost as plain,
but attended by others who had
sought the privilege of honoring him.
Among them were many who speak
for the great governments of the
earth.
Honored as t nknown Soldier.
But only the sorrowing widow and
a little circle of other relatives saw
ilie last ceremony of entombment.
The funeral services over, the chapel
was cleared while the great stone
slab that seals the crypt was lifted
from Its place to receive him.
At the moment he was lowered Into
the hall of his long sleep, an army
bugler, tho same who sounded taps
over the I,'nknown Soldier at Arling
ton. stepped before the chapel en
trance and the soft notes of taps rose
to the gray sky.
Thus did the nation, at last, find
pi way to say a national farewell to
lorn who had guided Its dsstinies
lb rough such troubled years but who
i-iid asked .that there be no pomp of
Kate ceremony when 'he was con
-igned to rest.

I What of
America?
What la to be the future of the
American government? Thia ia a
question propounded by many
i uoughtful men. The anawers are aa
numerous as the men making answer,
each answer depending largely upon
the mental attitude of the man.
Perhaps the keenest analysis and
th" most comprehensive answer Is
-,'lven by Edwfn O. l’lnkham, well
known editor and publisher.
In a series of articles to be pub
lislied In The Omaha Bee he traces
government from the time when It
was an ordinance of kings down to
mir present system of representative
government. Then he keenly analyzes
the situations that havs arlaen In
the political and economic history of
this republic, lie explains clearly
why the federal powers havs grown
. ml the state powers declined, and
concludes with a comprehensive sr
ttole dealing with "the only material
of which a nation ever can he made.”
This series of articles Is so com
prehensive, so Illuminating, so In
structive, that The Omaha Bee has
arranged for their serial publication.
Beginning Sunday ths Initial chap
ter will be printed on page one of
the nialfi news section. Each day
thereafter until the series Is com
pleted, It will appear on the editorial
page. Patriotic citizens who are
anxious to learn what Is best to do to
bring back government to the people
and to preserve tbs liliertles won by
so much sacrifice, should read and
wligest them fully. <

forming a distinct service to Its read

Plan. Peace Movement
Washington. Feb. 6.—Better mar
kets for American products through
"honorable settlements abroad" was
set forth as the purpose of the emer
gency foreign policy conference which
announced its organization here to
day with a membership including
members of the senato and house and
officials of farm labor and women’s
organizations. ^
A moratorium for Germany, "rea
sonable" reparations payments, evac
uation of the Ruhr by France, opposi
tion to increasing military rivalries,
support of tlie republican form of gov
ernment in Germany, and appropria
tions for starving populations were
announced as the chief policies ad
vocated by the conference.
Senators listed as included in the
national committee of the conference
are: Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor of
Minnesota: Frazier and I.add, republi
cans, North Dakota; Howell, republi
can, Nebraska, and Wheeler, demo
crat, Montana. The committee also
included eight members of the house.
Money Lenders
Not Benefited
by Credit Bank
Federal Institution Aims to
Encourage Production and
Marketing of F’arm
Products.
The purpose of the Intermediate
Credit bank is not so much to pay
off creditors of the farmer as It Is
to tide the farmer over a difficult
period, according to F. W. Clarke of
the Intermediate Credit bank at
Omaha.
"The big object of the bank." said
Mr. Clarke, "is not assistance to
banks, rich men, money lenders or
poor men, but to encourage produc
tion and marketing of livestock and
agricultural products.
"laws under which the l>ank oper
ates specifically states that It shall
be used for aid of producing and
marketing. For example, we cannot
lend to grain elevators—their officers
are not producers, on'y marketers."
The Federal land bank serves a
slightly different purpose. In this
organization, the object Is to supply
the farmer money on one-half the
value of the land he will encumber
to pay off short-time loans which
come due before he Is able to come
out from under them.
"The farmer Is not making many
new debts,'' said P. P. Hogan, presi
dent of the Federal land bank.
"What he is trying to do is to pay
off old debts, t'nder our form of
loan, the debt conies due in 34 years.
At a low rale of interest, and with a
small ainTiunt of the principal which
be Is able to pay each year, at the
end of the 34 years the debt Is ab
sorbed. This long loan enables him
to work his way out of debt without
taking so much money from him
annually. He will not be forced out
of business, which >s sometimes the
case In other typed of short loans.
"At the same time, we ask the
farmer's creditors to extend the time
of their loans to him."

Graff Denies Rumor
He Will Oppose Bryan
Special lilwpatf h to The Omaha TW.
Lincoln, Feb. 6,—Charles Graff of
Banrroft, former chairman of the
stale board of agriculture, tonight
flatly denied that he would be a pri
mary opponent of Governor Bryan
Graffs statement was inspired by
rumors circulating here today that
he waa seriously considering announc
ing his candidacy.
"I came to Lincoln tonight to wind
up my affairs with the state board,"
he said. "It Is true that friends have
been urging me to enter the race, but
I am not considering It.”
Graff, although prominent in demo
cratlc circles, is an avowed opponent
of Bryan and startled members of the
state hoard recently when he devoted
the greater part of his annual report
to an attack on the governor.
In that report he accused Brysn,
among other things of making "big
promises" and then failing to carry
them ou."

Brunson, Star State Witness
in McArdle Slaying. Tes
tifies of Fight Over
Alcohol.
Defendant to Take Stand
“Tell me where the alcohol is or you
won't return home alive."
As these words were uttered by Leo
Brunson, one of the state's "star’’
witnesses in the case of James Griffin
on trial for his life In District Judge
Fitzgerald's court room, yesterd^y^
Griffin's eyes blazed with savage fire.
Griffin, who during the first two
days of the trial had maintained an
attitude of joviality, although charged
with first degree murder in connec
tion with the death and burning of
the body of Henry McArdle, io*t his
smile and dropped his head during
part of the time that Brunson testi
fied.
Brunson was relating to a jury, im
paneled after two days' vigorous ex
amination, his version of what Coun
ty Attorney Beal described a« one of
the most brutal murders ever com
mitted in this country.
Deputies Maintain Order.
The case has attracted one of the
largest crowds that ever attended a
criminal case in this judicial district.
Additional deputy sheriffs, directly un
der Sheriff Mike Endres, were pres
ent to maintain order and to see that
the crowd did net block the doorways
or aisles.
Beal, who questioned Brunson for
the state, announced at 5 yesterday
that with but a few more queries this
morning he would l* ready to have
him cross-examined by the defease s
attorneys.
"My name is Leo Bronson a»ni I
am 28 years old." said the witness in
answer to a question put by BeaL "1

stated that ha bought an automobile
I fr im Welter and Banker and there
was due about $200.
"On the afternoon of November 28,
I was in a cigar store at 1520 Case
street." said Brunson, "when I got a
call from Welter that he wanted to
see me at the Taylor Battery station,
1121 North Eighteenth. He wanted
to talk about the balance on the ma
chine.
Accompanied by McArdlc.
'Hank' McArdle was in the cigar
store and I finally persuaded him to
go along."
Brunson stated that when he drove
to the designated place, neithef «rif
fln nor Banker was there.
"When I drove up a few fee: north
of the battery station. Welter and
Banker appeared and began to argue
with me about the JCOO due them."
Brunson testified. "I told them that
I Intended to pay them. IJut I had
found,out a mortgage was against the
car. Welter then asked roe If I would
haul eonie alcohol for him to Ne
braska City.”
Just then, according to Brunson,
Griffin and Banker walked up to hi*
machine and began to curse him.
"Get Into that machine and dri\*
off. or I'll kill you.” shouted Griffin
at me, as I was about to alight from
his car," the witness said.
It was then. Brunson testified, tha*
Griffin fired a shot from a large re

Brunson then told of a fight that
occurred when the three men sought
to force him Into the auto. Brun

his machine after Banker struck
over the head with a revolcer.
"As I was falling Into the rr.a.
chine" said Brunson. " I saw Me
Ardle leaning on the edge of the auto
I notiveed a pool *f hlo$d in the hot.
tom of the car and also saw Griffin

Brunson admitted that he had hr,4
several arguments with Griffin but
