An agreement was reached that from 3 next Monday afternoon all debate would be limited to 10 minutes for Individual senators on the farm relief bill and an equal time on any amendment then pending or pro posed.

South Caro lina, denounced the measure as “an attempt to make one taxpayer pay for the mistakes of another.” The bill would appropriate $75,000, 000 to finance diversification of crops, particularly in the wheat growing sec tions.

Washington, March 5.—President Coolidge by proclamation today re stored the rights of American citizen ship to all deserters from the army and navy during the three-year period between the armistice and the formal ending of the world war. The proclamation. Issued upon the recommendation of Secretaries Denby and Weeks, affects in no wise those who deserted in the face of the enemy cr at any time before the armistice, and does not remit nor commute the courtsmartial sentences of those who deserted after the armistice and prior to the end of war. The president acted to clear up a situation whereby those who desert ed after the fighting ceased suffered the same loss of citizenship as those who left the military forces during the war’s prosecutions. Ixwit All Rights. The war was actually over on No vember 11, 1918, but all who deserted after that date and before the last proclamation of peace, on November 17, 1921, were deemed under the law voluntarily to have relinquished and forfeited their rights of citizenship, as well as their rights to become cit izens and to be forever incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under the United States or of exer cising any of the rights of American citizenship. Secretary Denby in a letter to the president made public at the Navy department coincident with issuance of the proclamation at the White House declared the citizenship penal ties "however Justifiable in cases of desertion committed during the pros ecution of a war are uncommonly harsh and severe for offenses com mitted at any other time.” Many Are Mere Boys. With mere boys, ns many of them were when they deserted, a full con ception of the slatutory disabilities which confonted them was not pos sible,” Denby said. "It is during the years which have ensued, and which they may yet have to live, as they grow to manhood and old age, that they realize the terrible consequence of their offense and the shame which It Involves and which, unless re lieved they must carry with them to the grave, to the everlasting dis honor of themselves and their pos terity. They are forever marked men living In a country without any of the benefits of citizenship and for ever deprived of obtaining auch ben eflts." The action was taken by presiden tial proclamation and affects more than 100 men. It does not affect the status of Hrover Cleveland Rergdoll.

Washington, March 5.—The ques lion of Attorney General Daugherty's immediate retirement from the cabi net is again receiving serious con sideration. The situation today suddenly devel oped to a point where the selection of a succesFor was taken under advise ment at the White House. Those under consideration for the post Include William S- Kenyon, for mer senator from Iowa and now judge of the Eighth Vnited States circuit court of appeals; Frank H. Dietrich, federal district judge of Idaho, and Curtis D. Wilbur, chief justice of the supreme court of California. Steps have been taken indirectly to ascertain from each of the three men named whether he would accept if ap pointed. One of the factors which have again brought the question to an acute is sue was the situation resulting from disclosures in the recent veterans' bureau grand jury Investigation at Chicago. Some of these disclosures, accord ing to information laid before Presi dent Coolidge, relates to matters over which Mr. Daugherty has had at least technical jurisdiction as head of the Department of Justice and in which persons close to him were said to be involved. In addition, the question has arisen whether the attorney general under the stress of the senate investigation, will able to give his official duties the attention they merit. All of these considerations have put a new face on the situation since Mr. Daugherty left Wnshlngtpn a week ago after apparently convincing the president he should be t'ermttted to remain In office unt% the senate inquiry Is concluded.

Departed After Funeral SptM-ial Oitpatrh to The ttinnlm Bee. Lincoln, March a.—Louis fealster, brother of Edward Balster, slain Utich farmer. Is with officers here tonight. Balser was brought to Lincoln by J M. Buell, Omaha private detective, 'after the funeral of his brother. Buell was called into the case today by Henry Balster, wealthy father of the slain man, to assist local and county authorities. At the time, the father declared that he wanted the murder captured, regardless of his identy. L* H. McKillip. Seward county at torney, came here to assist state law enforcement officers in unravelling the mystery. In the ofifees of the state sheriff, Balster discussed the death of his brother tonight. Balster was found dead early Sun day morning and it was suspected that he had been attacked by holdup men who recently attacked another Seward county farmer. Until tonight no arrests had been made. Investigation of the Balster farm immediately after the slaying dis closed a pair of gloves near the dead man's body that were this afternoon identified as the property of J. W. O'Neill, Utica. O'Neill, however, has never lieen suspected of any connection with the murder, and it is thought that the ! murderer stole his car, which was re ported gone late Saturday night by O'Neill, and planted the gloves near the scene of the murder after he had found them in the automobile. The murderer also attempted to cover his tracks by killing two of Edward Balster's chickens and throw ing them near the body to give the ‘ impression that chicken thieves had lieen responsible for the crime. Balster was buried at Utica this af ' ternoon. Friends 3tarted to arrive '.here early today and the service* were attended by hundreds of per sons. Another session of the coroner’s jury- was to have been held at Utica tonight, but the hurried Journey of McKillip to Lincoln caused a post ponement.
