Bootlegger
Bares Bribe
of $250,000
Atlanta Convict Tells Senate
Committee of Huge Sum
Paid Jesse Smith for
Immunity
Offers to Produce Checks
•
Washington, May 16.—.V quiet
voiced, stout little man with piercing
blue eyes—George Remus of Atlanta
penitentiary—walked between two
guards into a senate committee bear
s' lng room today, and testified that as
a detail of bootlegging Operations in
volving millions of dollars, he had
paid $250,000 or $300,000 for "protec
tion" to the late Jess W. Smith, com
panion of former Attorney General
Daugherty. Given time and oppor
tunity, he promised to produce checks
and records that would at least re
fresh his memory and fix dates In
the bewildering multitude and magni
tude of his transactions.
Remus, produced by tbe peniten
tiary warden for the senate commit
tee Investigating Mr. Daugherty’s
conduct of the Department of Justice,
hus served less than four months of
a two-year sentence Imposed upon
him for conspiracy to violnte the pro
hibition laSvs. His examination was
uncompleted when adjournment was
taken,‘and the witness had halted in
his answers to questions about what
other money had gone through his
hands to government officials, pleaded
fear of further incriminating himself
and a desire to confer with attorneys.
Promised Immunity.
At the last moment, when the Jail
doors were opening for him In the
spring of 1923. Remus testified, he
came to Washington and paid to
Smith "$20,000 or $30,000,” confident
that punishment could be evaded.
"He (Smith) stated that the attor
ney general said there would be no
putting away of Remus and his men.”
Remus declared. Although now In
the penitentiary, he declared he would
not say he was “double-crossed,” be
<•; use Jess Smith, dead hy hie own
hand, “could not talk.”
Remus laid bare a story of a magic
ally sudden rise to wealth and almost
us sudden a fall to the status of e
convict. An Inconspicuous criminal
k w.ver In (’htrago In 1919, hy 1923
h< had become sole owner of nine
distilleries in Ohio, Kentucky and In
diana and part owner of more, and
(he operator of a string of wholesale
cud retail drug companies from N'^w
York to Missouri.
Tells of Bribing Officials.
That he bought up government of
ficials almost as expeditiously as he
acquired his properties, was an Im
plication to which he clung unshaken
throughout his examination. He told
the committee that his selling whisky
as medicine was a mere pretext and
that In reality he was the source of
supply for bootleggers In a half dozen
central states, the "financial” man
of an organization he referred to as
"Remus and his men.”
His "chief counsel" Introduced him
to Jess Smith In New York In 1921,
Remus said. Smith knowing the wit
ness ns "a reasonably large operator
in whisky," and Remus knowing
Smith as "a man very close to the
attorney general.”
When the third party "retired
gracefully,” Remus testified, he laid
a foundation for good relationship
with Smith by passing over $50,000 In
$1,000 bills. Then began a series of
meetings, he added, which continued
until the shadow of the penitentiary
was falling over him, although Smith
was promising even then that the
“iseneral,” the term applied to H. M.
Daugherty, was going to Use his In
fluence to obtain executive clemency
for Remus.

Gale Dashing
. 2 Steamers to
Pieces on Rocks
Keedsport, Ore., May 16.—The Ad
miral Nicholson, a coastwise steamer,
went aground' this afternoon while
going to the rescue of the G. C. Lin
dauer, lumber carrier, which is
stranded on the south spit of Umpqua
bar.
Members of the coast guarj) crew,
stringing breeches buoy lines to the
stricken vessels, said that apparently
both would be lost. A gale is blow
ing. Both ships were poised upon
jagged barriers.
Cudaliv Plant
to Be Enlarged,
Says President
Head of Company in Omaha
Sees Large Future
Growth; Armour
Also Here.
Increases in livestock receipts at
the Omaha market and the steady in
crease in stock raising in Nebraska
will necessitate enlargements in the
South Omaha Cudahy packing plant
in the next year or so. it was announ
ced Friday by E. A. Cudahy, presi
dent of the Cudahy Packing company,
who with Mrs. Cudahy arrived here
Friday morning from Chicago.
!‘We are not contemplating any
Immediate enlargements, for thus far
our plant has been large eniugh to
take care of all the livestock we could
buy,” said Cudahy. "We c&n see.
however, that It Is Inly a matter of
time until this market will have be
come so large that greater facilities
will be needed.”
Armour Here, Too,
J. Ogden Armour, chairman of the
board of directors of Armour & Co.,
also arrived in Omaha Friday, en
route from Denver to Chicago. He
also expressed great confidence in the
prospects for expansion of the Omaha
market, and forsees better business
conditions generally and especially
bright prospects for 'the packing In
dutfry.
Commenting on business conditions
generally, Cudahy said:
”1 feel that business in this coun
try is on such a solid foundation that
there need be no cause for alarm.
Business has slowed down a bit. and
this Is a reflection of political condi
tions in Washington.
Normal After Election
”1 am convinced that after the
national election normal conditions
will prevail. As to the packing In
dustry, it Is doing nicely. No labor
troubles are looming and there is no
reason to complain.”
Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy will remain
In Omaha several days, while Mrs.
Cudahy receives treatment from an
Omaha eye specialist at Methodist
hospital. Cudahy expects to play golf
at the Omaha Country club and to
spend two days at the Omaha plant.

“■Selection
.of Sackett
Is Splendid”
—Senator Morris
New State Chairman of G. 0.
P. Will Make Good. Says
Nebraska’s Senior
Solon.
Howell Also Pleased
Special Dispatch to The Omaha IV..
Washington, May 16.—Senator
George W. Norris was delighted to
day when he learned that H. E.
Sackett of Beatrice had been mn.de
republican chairman in Nebraska.
"He is a splendid man. I know him
well. He will make a good chair
man.”
Senator R. B. Howell also expressed
his pleasure at the selection.
Senator Norris' attention was
called to the statement Issued by
Chairman Sackett expressing hi*
opinion that when the campaign got
under way Norris would actively sup
port the ticket in Nebraska.
Again Fledge Support.
The senator smiled at this infor
mation. ‘‘Well when haven't I sup
ported it?” he asked, then a*ked far
ther; "Have similar questions been
propounded to all other candidates?
Why do they single me out?"
It is evident Senator Norris de
sires this year to go along with the
ticket.
He even approached in good
humor the issue that ha* arisen so
promptly in response to his question
of a few days ago concerning the
action of the president in vetoing the
bonus bill.
“I am for the bonus,” he said
laughingly, "and will vote to pass it
over the president's veto," and then,
‘‘which brings up something I should
like to have answered. Ask The
Omaha Bee to propound these two
questions to the republicans of Ne
braska.
Will Vote for Bonus.
"First—'As I am for the bonu* and
will vots to pass it over the veto,
am I to be ruled out of the party
because of that fact?’
"Second—'President Coolidge is
against the bonus and has tried to
kill it by vetoing it. is he to be ruled
out of the party?' "
Republicans in Omaha were inter
ested in the questions propounded by
Senator Norri*. However, they
could see no issue in the bonus war
ranting a reading out of the party
of any one.
"Difference of opinion regarding a
bonus for ex-soldiers," aald one of
the party leaders, "is not a party
Issue. The democrats are divided In
their opinion* on this question: even
the ex-soldiers themselvee are far
from unanimoua.
Basic Principles Necessary.
"The things that determine
whether a man ia a republican is his
adhesion to basic republican prln
ciples. These questions reveal one
of the oddities of Senator Norris'
character. No one expects that re
publicans shall think alike on all
questions. But our history proves
that the best and only practical way
lo accomplish good under our form
of government la through the
adhesion and unanimity that party
organizations make possible. Repub
licans always have harl, and always
will have, different views on specific
questions.
“The big problem Is to debate these
questions, take the best outcome pos
sible of achievement and aot together
In support of the common judgment.
Cannot Divide on Every Issue.
"If We are going to divide perma
nently on every Issue about which
we differ, than we will not only
cease to have a party, we will cease
to have a government, and will turn
ourselves Into a mob, each fighting
to Insist upon our own personal
viewpoints. Successful government,
throughout all hiatory, is merely a
record of cotnpromiaes. None of ua
can alwnya have hla own way. and It
I* well that we cannot,

Chivalry Dead? Not While Stalwart
Youths Have Coats for Icy Knees
By International News Service.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, May 16.—
Chivalry is not dead. So thinks a
still blushing Deer Lodge maiden who
owes her relief from the reddest em
barrassment to the quick courtliness
of a modern Sir Walter Raleigh.
The street car was crowded and
when it stopped at the corner of Por
tage avenue and Donald street the
people pushed off in a rush. The last
to descend was the charming maiden,
bedecked to welcome spring In short
jacket and smart "wrapped around"
skirt.
The policeman at the street cross
ing signaled "Go." The bell rang and
the door banged. As it slammed it
caught the loose corner of the
wrapped around skirt.
The garment was peeled off, leav
ing the maiden shivering and dis
mayed, looking hither and thither for
help, while her dainty lavender bloom
ers billowed in the northern breezes.
Only for an instant ditj she stand.
Stripping the coat from his liack,
an heroic knight wrapped it around
her, then lowering his head against
the wind he sprinted down the car
tracks to retrieve the skirt, which
was dragging from the door of the
fast-moving car.
Coolidge Gets
Immigration Rill
Excluding Japs
Report That Hughes Made
Ban Question of Confi
dence Leads to Belief
Veto Likely.
Washington May 16.—The new Im
migration bill, excluding all Japanese
from the 1'nlted States after July 1,
went down the avenue to the White
House today for President Coolldge's
approval or veto.
The exclusion clause was adopted
by overwl elmlng majorities In both
house and senate against the repeated
protests of the president and Secre
tary of State Hughes. The fact that
Secretary Hughes was said to have
made the Japanese ban a question of
confidence led to reports the president
contemplated vetoing the entire mas
ure.
In addition to barring other orien
tals, as well as Japanese, ths bill
slashes all Immigration quotas to 2
per cent of the 1830 census. A num
ber of minor exemptions were allowed
at the last minute under which the
wives and children of aliens who have
taken steps to become citizens will be
admitted "outside the quotas.” Ex
emptions also were granted to profes
sors and ministers.
In event the president should ex
ercise his veto power, the excluslon
lsts boasted they would re-enact the
bill over his disapproval. They point
ed to the 308 to 68 majority in the
house and ths 69 to 9 vote in the
senate as proof that they controlled
sufficient following to over ride a
presidential veto.

In this connection It was learned to

Conferees Ix>ek
Horns on Revenue
Bill Differences
Prospects of Extended Con
tests Loom—Hoover As
sails Income Tax Pub
licity Proposal.
.Washington, May 16.—Prospects of
extended contests on the tax reduc
tion hill appeared today as the con
ferees locked horns on some of the
more controversial differences be
tween the senate and house. It was
freely Intimated that, the conferees
probably would have to return to
their respective houses for instruc
tions on some of these provisions.
Members of the conference are
bound to secrecy on their actions,
but it was indicated that among the
real stumbling blocks are the senate
amendments for publicity of tax re
turns and a graduated tax on undis
tributed corporation profits.
In this connection. Secretary
Hoover issued a statement today as
sailing the full publicity proposal as
unfair to small business and as open
ing the door to fraud.
House conferees, It is understood,
have stood firm againet this amend
ment which was voted Into the bill
by democratic-republican Insurgent
coalition In the senate on motion of
Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska.
Failure of Amendment Seen.
A similar proposal was rejected by
a decisive margin In the house. House
leaders privately predicted today this
amendment would be turned down by
the conferees.
Both the house and the senate fi
nance committees, however, agreed to
open the tax returns to Inspection
by certain congressional committees
empowered by resolutions.
Renouncing the senate amendment
which would allow Inspection of re
turns under rules applying to other
public documents. Secretary Hoover
declared: "It will enable strong com
petltors to take advantage of tem
porary weak conditions of smaller
concerns, and on the other hand fraud
ulent concerns would gladly pay a
few thousand dollars a year falsely
disguised as profit In oWler to mis
lead the puhlic."
Corporation Tax Is Snag.
Apparently the biggest snag facing
the conferees however la th# senate
amendment proposing to lower the
flat tax on corporations from 1! 1-2
to f per cent and impose in adt
tlonal graduated scale of rates on
undistributed profits.
Advanced by Senator .Tones, demo
crat, New Mexico, the amendment re
eelved In the senate solid democratic
support as well as that of republican
insurgents. Senator Slmnjons, North
Carolina, In charge of the minority
tax fight anil head of the eennte
democratic conferees, determined to
keep the provision In the bill. House
democrats however, have not reached
an agreement dn It, pending study
by the democratic members of the
way* and means. House republican
conferees hav> declared against the
proposal.

After Annual
Meeting.
Incendiarism Suspected
I5v Intprimtinlial News Sf-ryii-e.
Hastings, Neb,. May 16.—The Bap
tist church burned to the ground here
early today with a loss of approxi
mately $35,500. The fire broke out
about 12:45 this morning, less than
30 minutes after the close of the an
nual meeting of the church.
Incendiarism is suspected by some
members of the church, hut there is
nothing as yet to substantiate such
a belief. t
The janitor of the church declared
today that he built a small fire In the
furnace about 8 last night, but that
when be left at about 10:30, there
was no evidence of any fire.
The church recently had been the
scene of heated dispute over the em
ployment of the Rev. A. T. Renn. an
l vowed member of the Ku Klux Klan.
to conduct revival meetings in the
church. The dispute became so bitter
over the employment of Rev. Mr.
Renn that the pastor and the entire
board of deacons resigned.
Last night’s annual meeting re
elected eight of the 10 deacons who
resigned in protest against Renn's em
ployment. but accepted the resigna
tion of Rev. Mr. Shoufler, who was
responsible for bringing KeV. Mr.
Renn here.
At the conclusion of the services
last Sunday Renn was presented with
a check for $175 by 14 hooded klans
men who appeared In the church and
said the money w'as given in apprecia
tion of his work in behalf of the klan.
It is thought possible that the fire
might have been caused by a pipe
organ motor.

Hanl" Measure.
Washington. May 16—For the
fourth consecutive day farm bloc
leaders battled In the senate today to
pass the tjoodlng "long and short

propriation bill.
8enator Smith, democrat, of South
Carolina, chairman of the Interstate

the practice of permitting railroads to
charge less for long hauls than for
short resulted In discriminatory
freight rates against farmers.

portation off our rivers." he said.
"The bill should be so amended that
railroads will not have an advantage
over water transportation."
Senator Gooding, republican, of Ida
ho, author of the bill, denounced the
failure of republican leaders to press
for passage of rail legislation in the
Interest of the farmers.
"I want to warn the republican
party—my party—that unless the
leaders pass some railroad legislation,
they might as well call \ogether the
wrecking crew now and prepare to
gather up the fragments of the party
next November,” Gooding said.

Bonus Advocates
j
Are Confident of
Overriding Veto
"Confidence in House Ex
pressed by Failure to Take
Poll—Close Senate
Vote Predicted.
Washington, May 16.—Congress
prepared with lAisinesslike concern
today to take up the veto of the sol
dier bonus bill, proponents of the
measure Insisting the situation was
unchanged by the president's mes
sage and that the bill would be re
passed by both houses.
In the house, where the measure
will be brought up on convening to
morrow, bonus advocates were so con
fident of repassage that scarcely a
poll waa taken. Likewise, opponents
of the bill there made little effort to
organize their forces.
Activities centered In the senate,
which will vote on the bill, if passed
by the house, probably Monday or
Tuesday. Most of the members were
deluged with messages, and in con
trast to the house, leaders were busy
conducting polls.
Senator Curtis, republican. Kansas,
in charge of the bill In the senate,
declared, however, the necessary two
thirds majority had been untouched.
There were intimations from other
proponents that they expected a close
vote, with the measure receiving a
possible majority of two.
While administration spokesmen
characterized the president's message
as effective, the situation, they said,
had been fairly well crystallized for
some time. In view of the expected
veto, there waa little evidence of a
concerted movement among op
ponents of the bill in the senate to
line up support for the presidential
