POWKLI. \Tnshtnstnn Correspondent The Omaha Bee Washington, March 10—Following a day spent In hot debate on the Nor beek farm relief bill, the senate ad journed late tonight wj.th less hope of bill's ultimate passage than at any previous time. f Shortly before adjournment. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi Intro duced an amendment to the preamble and substance of the bill which would throw the $50,000,000 intended for re fc, lief of the wheat farmer open to any [| farmer in the United States who I; could prove he needed money with !; which to purchase cattle. The south ern senator Intimates that if this amendment carried he might with draw his original amendment calling for $ 25,000,000 extra for southern growers. Norris Voices Objection. Harrison’s amendment Instantly aroused opposition of Senator Norris, chairman of the agriculture com mittee, and other senators who prev ious to that time had been in favor of the measure. "The bill Is for the purpose of aid ing wheat farmers whose present plight can be charged directly to the government who during the war asked them to drop diversification and grow wheat exclusively in order to win the ■war.. Senator Norris said. "Ths gov ernment is under no such obligation to any other section and If this amend ment carries I can't support the Mil." Reed Assails Hoover. Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri, supported the Harrison amendment. He bitterly assailed Herbert Hoover, who was food administrator during the war and who was responsible, he declared, for the present plight of the wheat farmer. rOnly two democrats, Ralston, of In diana. and Kendrick, of Wyoming, ex pressed appreciation of the work done by the wheat farmer In winning the war. They pledged their support to the original bill which called for $50,000, 000 for relief of the wheat farmer. Senator WIUls of Ohio, Intimated that attempts were being made to load ^the bill with amendments so It couldn’t receive support of persons who favored the original measure which provided relief for the wheat farmer alone. "I hope the senator from Ohio doesn’t think that !• my reseon for introducing the amendment.” Har rison said. "No, I can’t say I do,” WIUls said. The amendment by Harrison, Georgia, calling for tacking on $m.-( 000,000, later cut to $5,000,000, for the government to purchase fertilizer' to be sold to southern planters, was killed by a vote of 34 to 2$. Both Senators Howell and Noarls voted against, the Harrison smeml ment although a majority of the farm bloc led by Senator Capper voted In favor of It. Senate Defeats Motion for Loans to Farmers to Buy Fertilizer v_-—--' Washington, March 10.—'The senate refused todsy by a vote of U to 2<S to approve an appropriation of $5,000, 000 to he loaned to farmers to finance purchases of fertilizers. It was the first record vote of the eesslon upon a farm relief measure. The vote was taken up on an amend ment offered by 8enator Harris, demo crat, Georgia, to the Norheck-Burt ness bill after an all-day debate. Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York, declared government re ports showed an abundance of fer tilizer nitrates was either In the United States or en routs from <'hll» and that the business was operated “on a closer margin of profit than any other—and often at a, loss.'' Within a week, he said, the biggest company tn the country went into a receiver ship. •‘Putting the government, in me buelnsas,” he added, "will disrupt the remainder and will do more harm than good.” Senator Reed, democrat, Mlsaourl, •aid he wae opposed to "taking money, gathered from all the ppople, for the benefit of a particular class." "The farmer Is suffering, and I aym pathlze thoroughly with hla hIIijb. tlon,'' said Senator need, “hut 1 ran t reconcile my conscience with this . plan."

Husband ofl 3 Months Disappears Bride Seeks Police Aid in Lo cating Cattleman She Mar ried After Revival of Old Romance. Wife Fears Foul Play A bride of less than tUree months yesterday appealed to police for aid in locating her war veteran husband, whom'ahe married after revival of a romance dating back 19 years. The missing man is D. F. Dillon, Wyoming cattleman. He and Mrs. Dillon, with her 4-year-old son, Byrd, by a former marriage, en route from New York state to the west, had been stopping at the Castle hotel since their arrival here February 22.

Since that time Mrs. Dillon has re ceived no word from her husband. Mr. Dillon, who his wife says was a member of an aero bombing squadron in the world war, was gassed and wounded by shrapnel and suffers oc casional strokes as a result of his injuries. The wife fears that he eith er has been overcome by a stroke or tliar he met with foul play. She said that Mr. Dillon was carry rving on hts person her watch set with two diamonds, a diamond pin and a ring set with four diamonds, to gether valued at approximately J300, and that he may have been the victim of robbers. She vigorously denied an account published in an Omaha news paper yesterday stating that she s'ir pected her husband of pawning the jewelry. Doesn't Fear Desertion. "I know he hasn't deserted me,” Mrs. Dillon said last night. "If he walks into the hotel tomorrow he'll bo a* welcome as he ever wai. “It is untrue that T was left stranded here. An Omaha doctor and his wife are looking out for my inter ests. The hotel manager also has been very kind. "I am trying to get in touch with an aunt, of my husband'e in Denver and probably will leave for that city In a day or two unless I hear from Mr. Dillon.” Mr. and Mrs. Dillon wera married on Christmas day In New York state. They had known each other 19 years ago. Mrs. Dillon met him for the second time four months before their marriage. Ha la 51 and had not been married before.

Nonpartisan Senator Norris Democrats, Farmer-Laborites, Progressive Republicans Send Endorsement of Candidacy. Lincpln, March 10.—The firs' gun in the Norris campaign for re-elec tion has been fired. It consists of sending out to the newspapers copies of letters of endorsement written by senatorial colleagues (if Senator Nor ris. The letter of explanation accom panying the copies is written upon the letterhead of the law firm of Soren sen & Bollen. Bollen is a democratic candidate for the nomination for state auditor. He is also a candidate for the progressive nomination. The senatorial letters endorsing Senator Norris are written by mem bers of all political parties, but the so-called progressives predominate. Senator Owen of Oklahoma, democrat, endorses the man endorsed in equally strong language by Senator Uapper, republican, of Kansas. And Senator Wheeler of Montana, democrat, ap pears alongside of Senator Magnus Johnson of Miimesota, farmer-labor. Nor Is Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, less fullsoni* in his praise of Senator Norris than Senator Ship stead, farmer-labor of Minnesota/or La Follette of Wisconsin. It is a very imposing array of en dorsements, but there are tho*e who entertain the suspicion that the dem ocratic senators who endorse Senator Norris nave done so witn rueir tongues in their cheeks, feeling that the re election of the Nebraska man will spell a lot more trouble for the republican eide nf the senate. C. A. Sorensen, who is acting as chairman of the Norris campaign committee. w»a the head and front of the Nonpartisan league In Nebraska when It was going good, and Is still ostensibly In charge of it. There are republicans In these parts who are Just a bit mystified. With a Nonpartisan leagu»r managing the Norris campaign, from a law office In which the manager is the partner of a man seeking a state office as a democrat, and with the eenator seeking re-election »s a duly filed re publieau on the republican ticket jet Insisting that he Is above party, Is not a republican and much given to opposing republican policies, there seems to he ample explanation of why so many republicans are won dering Just what to do about it. Senator Norris has said that he would not come back to Nebraska to campaign in bis own behalf, but the supporters of Charles Sloan are not any the less Inclined to activity. They assert that If Senator Norris dues corn# bsck during the primary It will not he to make speeches In be half of republican principles, and If during the campaign certainly not to make speeches for the entire re publican ticket. Jt has been a year since Senator Norris, campaigning for election on the republican ticket, has spoken for his colleagues on the ticket, according to regular repuldl cans who are given to doing their fighting at the primary and then giv ing hearty support to the choice of the majority. The letters of endorsement given Senator Norris' candidacy show on« striking fact. Probably no other ern ator on ths floor could have secured endorsements from democrats like Owen end Wheeler and ettch extreme radicals as Shjpsteed and Magnus Johnson, Oemnc-rst* hereabouts mere ly smile when they reed the Owens and Wheeler endorsements, and some republicans mutter to themselves after reading the Shlpstead arid John son endorsements. _ 1924 Seed Corn Quality Low, Warns Shumway Lincoln, March HV 5tti\ta Agrlcul furs flecretary Shumway declared to d«y that, much of the seed com in Nebraska Is deficient In germinating qualities end suggests that fat in* • * take extra precaution* In seeing Hint "''ed Ja tested Hundred*' of sample* tested show not more than fiO to 75 per cent of the kernels sprouted, while some showed :0 pep cent or ]e.* Married in (.'ounril Mlnfl*.
