Gm4ey Placing a label on this picture Is wasting time. Anyone who sees it knows who it is, for he looks just like that. William F. Gurley was one of a group of unusually capable young lawyers who came to Omaha during the early or middle 80s. Others were Charles A. Marple, who was his law partner for some years; Henry D. Estabrook, a native son; Herbert J. Davi^ who rose to be district judge, and others, who adorned a group that became noted for wit and eloquence, as well as ability to expound the law. It was not all easy sailing for these fellows, but each was an industrious worker, and “Bill" Gurley was prob ably the most patient plugger among the lot. He Just practiced law, in season and out. Taking his share in the political life of the community, he established himself as a dependable republican, although he never sought office. His counsel was sought, however. and in the stirring days from the 80s j up through the 90s and into the new century, Gurley was almost as busy in politics as he was in law. He came to Omaha in 1881, fresh from his father’s law office over in Iowa, and his first job was in a lumber yard. He moved along until in 1886, he resumed the work for which he had been specially trained, and set up as a lawyer. He was made deputy county attorney by E. IV. Simeral, and a little later, when Ben S. Baker was made United States district attorney, Mr. Gurley was ap pointed by President Harrison to be assistant. In 1900 he was chairman of the republican delegation from Nebraska to the convention at Philadelphia that nominated McKinley and Itoosevelt. Mr. Gurley has won a nation wide name as an orator; he Is one of the most genial of men personally, and wears his 63 year* lightly.

As far as possible, it is stated, the 1"■ " ' — ■ ' * funeral will be accompanied by the honor* to which an archduke ia en titled. % Mia* Grace Wakefield, 51, ward of the “archduke," who committed aui ride the day after hi* death, will be cremated with two parrot* and a pet apaniel, drowned by her Just be fore she killed herself.

Legislators to Pass Farm Aid Measures Soon Will Drop Investigations and Turn to Other Matters, Sa>s N. B. Updike on Return Here. (Continued From l‘o*e One.) 700.000 bushel*. It means that the farmer would sell 300.000,000 bushels of wheat in the world'* market at the world's price. For the balance of the wheat which would be used at home, he would receive a higher price than the world's price. "In other words, he would receive the price that he will today for 3 per cent of his cropland a price in line with what he has to pay for what he buys, for 70 per cent of his crop. He. himself, however, would have to stand the expense of the organization necessary to handle the business as he now has to pay the expense per taining to marketing his wheat. Million More for Farmer. "Another way this matter Is ex plained is that the farmer would re ceive under |he exact conditions that exist today, several hundred million dollars more for his wheat crop than he Is getting. This additional price would of course have to be paid by the consuming public. Whether this can be brought about, depends upon the congressmen^nd senators repre senting the people of the United States. If they are willing to vote that the farmer Is entitled to receive this money at the expense of the con sumer the bill will go through. "The argument of those who support the plan is that the consuming pub lic, especially in the coast states and In the thickly populated district* In interior *tates, Is getting a much bet ter deal under existing laws than I* the farmer. Therefore It is held that as a matter of fairness the farmer should be given hi* chance. "The McXary-Haugen bill, If con fined to wheat, would form a corpora tion to which the government would lend $200,000,000. These funds would be used to buy wheat at a ratio price, which Is generally estimated at $i.»0 a bushel. Organize National Fool. "The farmers under this plan would In effect he organized Into a national pool, with the corporation handling the crop. The present marketing system would not be Interfered with and the elevators, both In the coun try and at primary markets would be used as they are now used. "The expense of the pool would be paid for by the farmer* and the funds loaned the corporation would be paid back to the government. "It Is claimed that when you figure out the details of the McNary-Haugen plan. It Is hardly practical to try It or. anything with the exception of wheat. If so worked out the result* would show whether It was satis factory. Then other farm products could be given attention. "Friends of the bill are afraid to cut out other articles on account of the i Influence it might have on votes In congress as well as at home. Some of those who speak In favor of the ’ bill, hut who are really Its enemies, are trying to load It down with more t articles rather than leas. Should the . bill work out In reference to wheat alone, ft Is generally thought that It would automatically bring up the price* of other farm products. Amended Every Day. ! "Various association* and individu al* hesitate to he too emphatic for | or against the bill until they can see the bill a* finally amended. It is be I lng amended in one way or another practically every day In the commit tee. It will also lie amended to a considerable extent when it 1* one the floor of the house and senate. "If one can believe what he hears in Washington he cannot but believe tltat the farmers will get some help ful legislation during this session of congress. The great problem is to get enough of those interested In the farmer to agree on some plan that will bring this about.

April 3.—While the house agricultural committee is strug cling to break the filibuster of Con gressman Voigt against the McN'ary Haughen farm relief bill, the senate committee Is considering a bill to ad vance money on the $150,000,000 in alien property seized during the war for purchase of wheat and other raw materials by Germany. Austria and Hungary. The bill Is receiving strong hacking from many quarters and is held to be a more direct means of aiding the mlddlewest farmer than the McN'ary Haughen bill.

The money is to be loaned at a rate nol to exceed 6 per cent and the corporation shall not give credits or make advances lo individuals or gov ernments when there are outstanding overdue repayments of credits, or advances previously made exceeding $7,500,000. The bill also provides that any loans sujff-red by the corporation shall be charged the $27,000,000 and not to the $150,000,000 principal. The only objectors at the commit tee meeting today were attorneys for persons injured by Germans or tGer man instruments during the war. who are fearful the fund will be dissipated, and suits for damsges brought against the fund will, if successful, deplete it. Kriends of the bill assert under safe guards inserted the principal is cer tain to he returned. Farmer Drops Dead in Road. Beatrice. Neb., April 3.— Richard J.

John Robert Clines, government leader in the house, admitted that the iaborites could not hope for the pas sage of such a measure in the present parliament, but maintained that the country would ultimately be forced to It by Its crushing burden of debt.
