?ri jay the "handful” turned
thoughts to the great majority who
have “lived and loved and died.”
Omaha's beautiful cemeteries, clad
In spring verdure and blooming pro
fusely with lilacs, bridal wreath nnd
other flowers, were visited by
thousands.
Even at sunrise some were busy
making more beautiful the resting
places of their loved ones. As the day
advanced the cities of the dead be
came cities of the living. Nor did it
take much imagination to feel that
the epirits of those whose bodies
were burled there were present in a
real sense.
Soldier Dead Revered.
Though dedicated especially to the
memory of the soldier dead. Memorial
(lay also saw loving attention turned
to those who fought the life battles
of peace.
Organizations of former soldiers in
the republic's wars honored and re
membered their dead comrades in im
pressive services over their graves.
At 3 Lee Forby camp. Spanish \V ir

All day members of ex-soldier or
ganizations and their auxiliaries
visited the gra\es in the various
cemeteries.
A memorial service was held at
10:30 by Omaha drove No. 1, B. F.
O. Does.
The third annual military mass in
honor of the soldier end sailor d“ad
was held In the morning at Holy
Sepulcher cemetery, under the au
spices of the Omaha council of the
Knights of Columbus, with between
12,000 and 15,000 men, women and
children in attendance.
Tha green hillside, sloping gently
toward the southeast, was well filled
before the services began. It formed
a natural stadium which enabled the
vast throng to see the small, tented
altar in the southeast corner of the
cemetery.
Before this altar, covered by an
American flag and surrounded by
stately candles, reposed the casket,
symbolic of all the dead which were
to he honored by the ceremony. Be
fore the casket stood a firing squad

Rev. Father Stinson, in his sermon,
expressed the need of patriotism in
peace times as well as in wag. lie
urged loyalty to country and to
church, emphasizing the need of law
observance. He warned against the.
self satisfied spirit which is apt to
predominate during peace.
Declaring that patriotism Is the
soul of the nation, and that to blot

Effort to Defer
Vote on McNarv
Measure Fails
House, Taking No Memorial
I)ay Recess, Plunges Lnto
Amendments on Farm
Relief BUI.
Washington, May 30.—With a vote
on the McNary-Haugen farm relief
bill in prospect by tomorrow night,
the house today, unlike the senate,
took no Memorial day recess, in or
der to plunge back into the flood <<f
amendments sweeping against the
measure when it was laid aside Sat
urday.
House members generally predicted
a close decision on the bill, which
makes provision for a $200,000,000 tor
poration to export surplus farm prod
ucts. Only two <>f its 28 pages had
been disposed of after four hours’ con
s.deration of amendments, under the
five-minute rule, when it was laid
aside last week, and thes*- comprised
only the preliminary section defining
the emergency for the legislation.
An unsuccessful effort was made
today for an agreement to defer a
vote on the McNary-Haugen bill until
next week.
Representative Kincheloe of Ken
tucky, a democratic member of the
agriculture committee and on eof the
leading opponents of the measure, dr
dared it would be unfair to many
members, who have Wf Washington
f* rthe weekend, to press it to a vote
tomorrow, but Representative Kong
worth, Ohio, t ,e republican leader,
served notice that If it were possible
a vote on pasage would be had before
weekend adjournment.
Representative Garrett, Tenner, e.
the democratic leader, remarked that
a delay in the vote could be forced
if the reading of an engrossed copy
of the bill, which could not be pre
pared for some hours, was demanded
at the last minute.
The first amendment offered today
was proposed by Representative
Jones of Texas, a democratic member
of the agriculture * .>mmitt* ‘ . It pro
vided that the corporation which
would be created to sell surplhs farm
prodrets abroad should have author
ity to fix ratio prices on livestock ns
well as food products of rattle, sheep
and swine.
The Jones amendment was rejected.
58 to 14. after a discussion which em
braced the merits of the whole bill.
Representative Hudspeth, demo
crat, Texas, declared it would take
less than 10,00° employes to operate
the corporation to be net up. instead
of the 50,000 as claimed by some
members. lit* did not believe opera- j
tion of the corporation would increase
the cost of beef to the consumer.

Denver, May 30.—A. D. New, 71,
Nebraska farmer, whose body was
found late Wednesday In Clear creek,
near the Denver city limits, was kid
naped, slugged, robbed and then his

Acceptable.
R» Associated PreM.
Toklo. May 30.—There is reason to
believe that, the Japanese foreign
office has been asked by the American
government' whether Jacob Gould
Schurnian. now minister to China,
would be acceptable as ambassador to
Japan to succeed Cyrus K. Woods,
who resigned recently.
Washington, Mav 30.—Official con
firmation of the report that Minister
Schurnian at Pekin had been selected
to succeed Ambassador Woods at
Toklo was larking, and Secretary
Hughes refused to comment. There
was little disposition in diplomatic
circles, however, to doubt that Mr
Srhurman s name was under consid
eration at Toklo or that he would be
acceptably to the Japanese govern
ment.
Administration officials have mani
fested repeatedly the desire to take
every possible means of impressing
on the Japanese government and
people the friendly sentiments of the
Washington gov* rni ent and it is be
lieved the prompt filling of the Toklo
post would aid this purpose.
1 »r. Srhurman has long Iwen known
as a student of far eastern affairs
who viewed sympathetically the prob
lem* of the nations there. He spent
considerable time in Japan in 1020,
making several addresses and was
well received.
The experience *»f f*r. Sehurman at
the Pekin legation has given him
first-hand knowledge of the problems
of the far east which would he of ut
most value to him. In view of nil
these circumstances, and particularly
because be Is already virtually on the
scene, the word from Toklo today
caused little surprise d* pit*- official
reticence In Washington.

*1 don’t blame the police for hold- ,
ing me," Leopold said. "I was out j

Spirit Urged
by Coolidge
Proposals for 1. S. Adherence
to World Court Apart
From League Flayed in
Memorial Speech.
Says Defense Necessary
Washington, May 30. — Proposals
for American adherence to the world
court contingent upon its disassocia
tion from the league of nations were
spurned by President Coolidge in his
Memorial day address at Arlington,
as unworthy of American principle#
and traditions.
“If we receive anything we must
surrender something,” said the presi
dent, speaking of the world court and
the question of American membership
in it. We may as well face the ques
tion candidly and If we are willing to
assume these new duties in exchange
f'»r the "benefits which wouW accure
to us, let us say so. if we are not
willing, let us say that. We can a<
complish nothing by taking a doubt
ful or ambiguous position.”
Defense Necessary.
Warning was given by the presi
dent against leaving the country un»
defended because history has shown
“there have been and will be tenden
cies of one nation to encroach dn an
other." If© coupled with this warn
ing, however, the statement that he
Has opposed "to every kind of mili
tary aggrandizement and to all forms
of competitive armament” and that
America should do its part in making
fast the ideal of limitation of arma
ments by international covenants.
The president began his addres?
delivered at the annual ceremonies in
Memorial amphitheater, with an
analysis of the founding and guiding
principles of the nation, foremost
among which he found to be the n»
cessJty for surrender by individuals
snd by the states of a portion of their
rights and their sovereignty in order
to obtain the benefits accruing to the
organized whole.
Benefit® Known.
*‘7n these days little rveed e*lst«
for extolling the blessing" of our fed
eral union," he continued. “Its bene
fits ®r# known and recognized by all
it* citizens who are worthy of serious
attention. No one thinks now of at
tempting to destroy the union bv
armed force. No one seriously con
siders withdrawing from it. But it
is not enough that It should be free
from attack—it must be approved and
supported by a national spirit. Our
prime allegiance must be to the whole
country. A sentiment of sectional
ism Is not harmless because It is un
armed. Reslstence to the righteous
authority of federal law is not Inno
cent because It Is not accompanied
by secession. We need a more defi
nite realization that all of our coun
try must stand or fall together, and
that It Is the duty of the government
to promote the welfare of each part
and the duty of the citizen to remem
ber that he must be first of all an
American.
I S. Citizenship High Fstate.
"Only one conclusion appears to me
possible to promote our welfare by a
narrow and short sighted policy. We
can gain nothing by any destruction
of government or society. That ac
tion which in the long run is for the
advantage of the individual, as it Is
for the support of our union, is best
summed up in a single word — renun
ciation. It is only by surrendering a
certain amount of our liberty, only
bv taking on new duties and assuring
new obligations, that we make that
progress which we characterize ns
civilisation. It Is only in like manner
that the citizens and the states can
maintain our federal union ar d be
come partakers of its glory. That is
the answer to every herald of discon
tent, and to every preacher of de
struction. While this Is understood
American institutions and the Ameri
can union are secure.
“This principle cannot he too defi
nitely or emphatically proclaimed.
American citizenship is a high estate,
lie who holds it Is the pe* r of kings.
If has been secured only by untold
foil and effort. It will be maintained
bv no other method. It demands the
best that men and women K»ve to
give. But It likewise awards to Its
partakers the best that there is on
earth. To attempt to turn it into a
thing of ease and Inaction would he
only to debase it To ease to strug
gle and toll and sacrifh o for it is
not only to reuse to he worthy "f it
hut Is to start a retreat toward bar
barism. No matter what others may
say, no matter what others nwv do,
this Is the stand that those must
maintain who ate worthy to be. died

Ford, Referee of Speedway Classic,
Insures Drivers’ Lives for $10,000
Twenty-Two Years’ Absence
From Seat of Rarer Pails
to Dim Auto Maker s
Enthusiasm. e
By Amwflited Fre»»,
Indianapolis, Ind., May 30.—Twen
ity twoyears absence from the seat of
a racing automobile have not dimmed
the interest of Henry Ford in the
game of speed and chance. The fa
mous Detroiter proved to the 135.000
| persons attending the 12th annual
1500-mile race here today that the
automobile, in all its forms, is almost
j the very life of him by the deep
1 study he mad* of the contest.
Mr. Ford the referee of to
day’s race, and took his great re
sponsibility with his usual serious
ness, but was not called upon to make
I any unusual decisions.
It was gift day for the drivers and
I mechanics, Mr. Ford insuring the
[lives of all for $10,000 against ac«.i
I dent. There were only two, Ernie
Anaterberg and Lane Houser, skid
ding off the track and overturning.
Neither suffered more than a shak
ing up. Announcement of the gift
was withheld until after the start of
the race, at the request of the donor,
who feared such action might cause
some of the drivers to become mor
bid.
Victor)’ Day For Ford.
In a way it was also a victory day
for Mr. Ford. Four machines of the
type be manufactured started in the
iace against the world’s fastest speed
creations. When the first 10 ma
chines had finished, the quartet still
was running, smoothly and sturdily.
They lacked the necessary speed,
however, the performance of the cars
appeared to please Mr. Ford very
much.
Prior to the start of the race at
I 10 this morning. Mr. Ford was given
a ^Ide around the '-nurse in the pace
making car. Barney Oldfield, who
entered the racing game under Mr.
Ford and piloted the famous “999" to
many records, was at the wheel. Mr.
Ford then climbed into one of the
race car- bearing his name, examined
it thoroughly, posed for some pic
tures, and got back to his job as ref
eree. After the start of the race, he
took a seat of vantage arid remained
until the end.
“The ra«e proves beyond a doubt
what we already knew—that every in
dividual in America is interested in
the automobile,” Mr. Ford said. “This
race, the greatest motor car classic
of America, seems to be the climax of
motor interest in the public mind."
It was understood Mr. Ford and his
son, Kdsel, and others of the party
planned to leave Indianapolis tonight
or early tomorrow.
