Coolidge’s
Request Is
Voted Down
Bill Returned to Conference
Vi itli Instructions to Eli
minate Provision for
Postponement.
Vote Stands 191 to 171
Washington. May 9.—Bv a vote of
191 to 171, the house declined today
to approve the Japanese exclusion
provision of the Immigration hill, in
serted by house and senate conferees
at the request of President Coolldge.
The measure was sent back to con
ference with the house managers In
structed to insist on elimination of
the provision which would postpone
the effective date of exclusion to
March 1, 1925, and would request the
president to negotiate with Japan for
abrogation of the “gentlemen’s agree
ment.”
This action threw open the effec
tive date, as the house conferees were
given no instructions to put up a
fight for the original house provision
to enforce the ban July 1. The sen
ate voted to make exclusion effective
noon enactment of the bill, but the
conferees, after agreeing to accept the
house date, decided to recommend
postponement for an additional eight
months.
They did so tn deference to the
v ishes of President Coolldge who
suggested March 1, 1926. as a date
which would afford time for diploma
tic negotiations, the managers com
promising on March 1, next.
Revision Planned.
As a result of the house vote, the
conference report will not be sub
mitted to the senate until the con
ferees have had opportunity to • ork
out a revision. A meeting of the
house and senate managers has been
called for tomorrow.
Some of the conferees expressed
' ** hope that a plan would be devised
that would prove acceptable both to
Hie administration and to congress.
There were indications, however, that
some of the house managers would
resist any attempt to postpone the
effective date of exclusion beyond
July 1.
The conference report was called
up In the house by Chairman John
son of the Immigration committee,
who later proved to be one of three
members from Pacific coast states to
vote for its adoption. Democrats
lined up against the proposal, and on
the final showdown had the Support
of 23 republicans, most of them from I
the west, and three independents.
Eleven democrats voted to accept the
report.
Four Others Support Report.
During the debate. Mr. Johnson had
support front Representative T<ong
worth, the republican leader; Repre
sentative Burton, Ohio, who will be
"keynoter” at the republican national
convention: Representative Vail, re
publican, Colorado, one of the con
ferees on the hill, and Representative
Moore, democrat, Virginia.
The fight against adoption of the
report was led by the two house con
fe> ees who declined to sign it— Rep
reaentatives Raker. California, and
Sabath, Illinois, both democrats—
and by Representative Garrett, the
democratic leader. Lined up with
them during debate were Representa
tive MacLafferty and Llneberger,
, California republicans. __

Lincoln, \eb.,

Mr. Shuff bases Ills claim for a
position in the hall of fame on the
fact that he has never had a golf stick
in his hands. He can give as majiy
reasons why he shouldn't play golf
as he can why everyone should be
thoroughly equipped with electrical
fixtures.
Born in Jacksonville. Til., in 1 877,
Mr. Shuff moved with his parents to
Cincinnati, where he was graduated
from a high school. He went into
the laundry business on leaving
school, but he didn't like it. so he
quit. He had for many years felt that
salesmanship was an art worthy of
his best efforts, and It was at about
this time that electric companies be
gan to realize that going after busi
ness might be more profitable than
waiting till it arrived.
And so Mr. Shuff became a sales
man for an electric company. Since
then he has been connected with the
electric light Industry in New York,
Louisville. Montgomery, New Orleans
and for the past 10 years, In Lin
coln, where he Is sales manager for

Count Salm Von Hoogstraeten-Millicent Rogers
$40,000,000 Romance Smashed After Few Months
American Heiress Going Back
Home With Father Who
Had to Foot All
Bills.
By C. F. RERTF,LI.I.
tnirerml Service Staff Correspondent.
Pari?, May 9.—The grqpt Count
Salm von Hoogstraeten-Millicent Rog
ers $40,000,000 romance is smashed.
Millicent, bride for a few short
months of the titled •Austrian, leaves
France and her husband tomorrow
aboard the liner France, accompanied
by her father. Col. H. H. Rogers,
who has thus triumphantly ended a
special pilgrimage made to Europe to
bring back his formerly wilful but
now subdued daughter.
To Universal Service today Count
Salm acknowledged that he has lost
the great game on which he embarked
when, jilting his fiancee, Mrs. Grace
Sans Coffin, he courted and married
the fascinating young debutante and
heiress to the Rogers oil millions.
Considering the tremendous disap
pointment under which he must be
laboring, the debonair count was
quite jaunty over the explosive finish
of his romance.
Count Admits Breakup,
v “Ves. it is true,” said the count.
“Millicent is going back to America
with her father. But maybe she will
come back. Anyway, I cannot accom
pany her because I am scheduled to
play In the Davis tennis cup prelimi
naries.'’
A careful search of the present
Davis cup lists, however, did not re
veal the count's name as a competi
tor, although he is undoubtedly one
of the best tennis players now in
Europe.
From sources close to the family,
the real story of Colonel Rogers’ suc
cessful fight to win back his daugh
ter from the foreign aristocrat flnalfy
has been revealed. It ts stated that
the first reaction of Colonel Rogers
on learning of the marriage from
Count Salm Pas to tell the bride
groom :
“You go back and tell Millicent that
tills check I ain giving you Is the
last she gets from me while she Is
your wife."
Colonel Rogers then left New Tork,
declaring that he had washed his
hands of his Impulsive daughter, who
promptly left for Europe with her
husband. Having arrived in Paris,
the honeymoon couple plunged Im
mediately into the feverish society life
on the continent.
Rills Pile Up.
The bills climbed up steadily, with
the result that when they left for
Cannes, the Baron de Wartberg,
Count Salm's close friend, revpaled to
Universal Service that they had al
ready auccessfully appealed to her
lather for more money.
Arrived at Cannes, Colonel Rogers
discovered that his fears that his
daughter's happiness might be short
lived, stood a good chance to be borne
out.
Ostracised by Smart Set.
One short, hectic Paris season suf
ficed to dull the edge of the ardent
romance. Frequently Count Saint
would dine at the Casino with a lively
party while his wife dined with
friends at the hotel—friends who had
refused to meet her husband.
Then Count Salm appeared on the
tennis courts wearing a prewar
sweater bearing a huge Austrian
eagle. Thi* angered the other play
ers, who demanded that be take off
the sweater. This he refused to do,
and was thereupon bowed off the
court. The next day he was “sent
to Coventry” by ail the smart set at
Cannes.
The ensuing ostracism and cold
glances from those who were before
most friendly was apparently the
final blow which sent Millicent back
| to the arms of her father.
According to reports, Colonel Rog
ers has been more than generous. He
paid all the couple's bills with the
exception of that of the count’s tailor.
At this he balked. In addition, hs
told bis daughter to go and buy
plenty of clothes before they started
home.
Thereupon Millicent laid s last
minute Blege to the dressmakers and
milliners, filling her trunks with what
Is declared to be a wonderful selec
tion of Paris styles.
The final good-bye of the couple
lakes place at the St. I,azure station
tomorrow morning, when the boat
leaves for Havre. Colonel Rogers has
consented to this last farewell.
While Count Saint tells his friends
that he is convinced Millicent will re
turn to him, I learn that legal pro
ceedings to end the marriage may.be
brought In New York as soon ss Mil
ilcent is again definitely under par
cntal Influence.
Colonel Rogers is declared to pos
-ess certain evidence obtained at < in
nes which Is believed sufficient to
comply with the American divorce
requirements.

mittee of the German socialist party
voted today to ask the government to

ceptance or rejection of the Dawes
reparation report.

Count Salm recently confided to a friend In Paris that If the bride's father
"doesn’t come through" in six months, he’d get a divorce. The countess
sold a string of pearls to meet their travel and hotel bills, it became known.

Norbeck Threatens to Offer
McNary-Haugen Measure
as Rider Uni ess Agricul
ture Relief Promised.
Washington, -May 9.—Using a
strategic parliamentary position as a
whip, members of the senate farm
bloc prevented a vote tonight on the
revenue bill because they had not ob
tained assurance that farm relief
legislation would be given the right
of way.
Karly in the evening, Senator Nor
besk, republican. South Dakota, made
an appeal for immediate farm relief
action and declared that unless con
gress made way for farm legislation
he would offer the McNary-Haugen
bill as an amendment to the revenue
bill.
He refused to budge from this posi
tion and turned a deaf ear to friends
of farm relief legislation.
Senator Norbeck took the stand that
the time had come for action to help
the farmers and unless the farm bloc
was assured that some farm measure
would be brought up for action, he
would bring the McNary-Haugen bill
to the attention of the senate by at
taching it u a rider to ths revenue
bill.
Agree To Recess.
After conferences In the cloak
rooms, both republican and demo
cratic leaders agreed to recess until
tomorrow when it is understood the
house rules committee has agreed to
report a rule setting aside time for
consideration by the house of some
farm relief bill. If this rule is re
ported, Senator Norbeck said he
would withhold his motion to combine
the two measures In the senate.
Senator Norbeck said hs was will
ing for ths farm legislation to origi
nals in the house, but hs wanted ac
tion certain before congress ad
Journed.
While the fight for the McNary
Haugen bill whs in progress in the
senate, four members of the house
agriculture committee Issued a
minority report severely condemning
ths measure as unworkable, declaring
It would prove a calamity to the na
tion and a blow to agriculture.
The report further charged that
once started, the act would have
he continued, as a cessation woulll
mean "stagnation of business giving
rise to a panic." The report branded
the bll! as a price-fixing measure and
of doubtful constitutionality.
The signers of the minority report
were Representatives Clarke. New
York, and Voigt. Wisconsin, repub
licans, and Aswell, Louisiana, and
Kincheloe. Kentucky, democrat*
Democratic Rates Retained.
Senate democrat* retained their in
come tax schedule In the revenue bill
today against two determined as
saults by the republican organization
a* the measure was whipped into
shape for final passage tomorrow.
Before adjournment, agreement was
reached to conclude debate on the
bill by 2 tomorrow afternoon.
Republicans offered two com
promises on the Mellon surtax rates,
hut the democratic republican insur
gent coalition defeated both. The
last effort was on a schedule calling
for the house surtax rates with a
maximum of 371-2 per ^ent ac
against the 40 per cent maximum on
the democratic plan. It was defeated,
46 to 39.
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee first had proposed a
maximum rate of 32 per cent as s
compromise for the Mellon 25 per
cent maximum which was turned
down. 47 to 36 There was no de
lta te whatever on either proposition
Ths democratic normal rates were re
affirmed without even a record vote.
In rapid fire order numerous othA'
proposals were disposed of, but a long
debate on an amendment to prohibit
tax exempt securities, which was
finally defeated, and the announced
determination of Senator Norbeck, re
publican, South Dakota, to put for
ward the McNat y llaugen farm bill
as an amendment, forced over final
action.

H.» \Mux-luted l're»«.
Tangipahoa, Parish Jail Amite.
I .a,, May 3.—The death march of six
men to be hanged for the murder
three years ago of Dallas Calmes of
Independence, when he interrupted
an attempted bank robbery, began
at 11:55 o'clock. Those to be execut
ed were Joseph Bocchio, and Andrea
Lamantia of Chicago; Joseph Giglio
and Roy Leona of Brooklyn. N. Y„
and Natale Deamore and Joseph
Rini of New Orleans.
Deamore was led from the cell at
that time and accompanied by a
priest began his walk down two
flights of stairs.
The order of execution was chang
ed and Leona went to the scaffold
with him.
The priest stood with his hand ore
Leona's shoulder while a second
priest was beside Deamore. The
executioner put the noose around
Ilona's neck and adjusted the black
cap.
The same procedure was gone
through for Deamore. The double
trap was sprung at 12:01 p. m.
The men apparently died instantly.
Under the law they were to hang
for 20 minutes
Next Pair l-ed Out.
Giglio and Rini were led out of
their cells at 12:12. accompanied by
two prieRts.
As he was led to the scaffold Dea
more said, ' I am going to heaven.”
As the mask was being adjusted on
him he cried: "They hang me! They
hang me:”
Leona kissed a New Otlean* dep
uty sheriff before lie was led to the
gallows.
The second pair and the escort
halted In the interior corridor pend
ing the removal of the bodies of Le
ona and Deamore from the nooses.
As Rini and Gigilio started down
the stairs from the cell to the lower
floors, one of th» two remstning pris
oners began to shout wildly. Jailer
Johnson was railed by the turnkey
and they succeeded in quieting him.
Pace Nervously.
Rlnl and Gigilio, after a few min
utes of waiting, began to pace back
and forth. Both apparently were de
termined to die gamely for the pacing
was the only sign of agitation they
displayed.
Leona's body was taken from the
rope at 12:2! p. nr.
I.amentia then stabbed himself
with « knife under1 the right shoulder
blade.
Deamore's body was removed at
12:23.
The hangman began to tie his knots
for the second pair. Lamantia was
bleeding profusely and was removed
from his cell and taken to the ground
floor of the jail. The traps were
placed in position for the second pair
at 12:25. Rint and Giglto were re
turned to their cells and Bocchio
brought out. Physicians said Laman
tia apparently was not seriously in
jured. He and Bocchio went to die
next, leaving Rini and Giglio for the
last.
Hangman Tests Rope.
The hangman made a final test of
the rope, after letting out as much of
it as had been cut off after Leona
and Deamore hung.
Bocchio and Lamantia mounted the
platform as the nooses were com
pleted. t *»* **
Bocchio had to he supported as he
wns placed on the trap occupied
Previously by Leona. Lamantia ap
parently was unconscious ss he was
carried to the scaffold.
A chair was placed on the trap and
he was seated in it. Bocchio could
barely stand and a priest held him
erect ss he said a prayer. Bocchio
had been virtually in a state of coma
since he collapsed early today.
The noose was placed around

cago's Most Dangerous
Rival: and a Contestant
for First Honors.
“A direct railroad line across the
I Tank ton. 8. D. bridge to Omaha will
do more than anything else to build
Omaha’s livestock market to be un
questionably second in the country
and give Chicago a hard race for
first place.” TV. B Tagg. of Tagg
Brothers and Moorhead, livestock
commission man. told the members of
the Junior Division of the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday n on at ■
"livestock industry” meeting.
Tagg was "key" speaker at the
luncheon and junior members fired
questions at htm concerning the live
stock Industry- It was in answer to
one of these questions that he declar
ed that better transportation facilities
into the Dakotas and the northwest
would be the greatest help In build
ing Omaha's market.
Stock Business Better.
Tagg said that stock raisers who
are not now too far In debt are re
covering slowly but surely from ths
recent depression; that the western
range man is not recovering as
rapidly as the farmer because many
are suffering now from high overhead
costs and shortage of cattle. Keeping
running expenses down and stocking
with better grade of livestock Is the
best solution of their difficulties he
said.
The small packers hsve beensflted
by the recent action of the govern
ment in forcing the packers out of
control of the stockyards and ex
changes. Mr. Tagg said in answer to
a question. It has given the little
fellows a chance end they have In
creased their outputs.
In answer to a query as to whether
It Is true that meats packed In Omaha
are sold cheaper in Europe than
here. Mr. Tagg said this impression
has grown sines the war. especially
through the activltlee of the English
government In selling meats bought
from America during the war, and
being sold now in competition with
fresh Danish meats
Beef Stock Decreasing
IT 1th a decrease of strictly beef
stock on the ranges through an in
crease of dairy stock, packers are be
ginning to wonder where they are go
ing to get their needed supplies and
this will have a tendency to bring a
higher market next fall for ths good
grads of grs«s fed beef cattle. he
said.
Sheep receipts here have been hurt
but little by the hoof and mouth dls
ease in California, Mr. Tagg said. . nd
explained that not much stock wss
received here from the west coast
states, and that ths Rocky mountains
wars becoming more and morW a
division 11ns for marketing. The hoof
and mouth disease, however, will In
crease the demand for hogs and cattle
from this section to the nest for some
time, he said

son letter, as having appealed to him
to come to Nebraska and campaign
for the entire O. O. P. ticket.
"A number of republicans have
written me,” said the senator, "saying
I had strength enough to put the en
tire republican ticket over in Ne
braska.
“They did not say a word about
the qualifications of the men on the
ticket, yet they demanded that I go
out and give my personal endorse
ment to every man. That sort of a
republican can go to hell, and you
.-an publish it broadcast."
Senator Angry. ,
The senator was quite evidently
angry and, while he did not refer
specifically to the candidates he con
siders as not entitled to his endorse
ment. it was evident that he ha*
someone in mind.
“I am not asking a man who is a
republican to vote for me for that*
reason alone If he doesn't agree
with me and thinks I’m wrong he
should vote against me."
Asked pointedly whether he would
support President Coolidge in the
campaign he replied:
“I suppose some of those fellows
think that if the president vetoes the
bonus bill and I vote to override it
that I should go out on the stump
and say the president was right and «
I was wrong. Well. I’ll not do that." H
Asked about the republican candi
dates for congress In Nebraska, the
[senator became somewhat petulant.
“Why are they singling me out on
these things? I haven't said a word
about it. one way or another. The
| campaign isn't on yet."
More to Say.
Evidently he did not realise the
whole thing started because of hit
letter to Sorenson. Hla last remark
Indicated, however, that the exiger
cles of the campaign might later be
taken into account
No doubt the senator will have
i something further to say on the Ne
braska campaign. He did not give
cut the names of “those fellows ”
I w hom he drubbed for asking him to
| support the full ticket, and who. he
| said, “can go to hell "
Friends of the senator in Washing
ton are pointing out to him that alt
(of the candidates on the republican
ticket In Nebraska went through the
primary, as he did himself, that they
received the endorsement of republi
can voters and that as a consequent e
It hey are now all together on the same
