New Attack
Is Made on
NorbeckBill
Pat Harrison Would Make
Loans Under Relief Meas
ure Available to All
Farmers.
Norris and Howell Protest
BY P. C. 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.
Last Tuesday morning Mr. Dillon
left the hotel, telling his wife that he
was going to Alliance, Neb., to buy
cattle for his ranch near Torrlngton,
Wyo. He said that he expected to re
turn within two days, when the three
would proceed to Denver, where they
planned to make their horn*.
Gassed and Wounded.
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.
