Gasoline Sells
at Eight
Cents
Jackson, Neb., Aug. 31.—What is
believed to be a record price for
cheap gasoline was set here Saturday
when the Pollard oil company cut the
price to eight cents a gallon.
The eight-cent price was the result
of a gas war which began early this
morning, the prevailing price of 16
cents was smashed when the Stand
ard Oil company started the war by
dropping to 13 cents a gallon. The
limit was reached when other oil
companies refused to drop below 10
cents, stating that they could not af
ford to*soil at the eight-cent price es
tablished by the Pollard Oil company.
Germany Floats
Big Private Loans
With U. S. Bankers
Machinery for Placing Dawes
Plan in Effect Is Slowly
Getting Under
Way.
By KARI, H. VOX WIEGAXD.
Vnlvernnl Service Staff Correspondent.
Berlin, Aug. 31.—Slowly, very slow
ly, Germany's machinery for put
ting the Dawes plan into operation
is beginning to move. The first' oil
on the creaking economical wheels
was the signing today of private
credit loans aggregating f38.000.000
by New York banking groups.
Dr. Stresemann, who has become
a sort of German Lloyd George in
piloting the pact through a hostile
reichstag, left last night on a vaca
tion. Dr. Marx planned to go today.
Stresemann’s party is committed
to a reorganization of the cabinet to
take place in October and to include
the nationalists. There is talk that
Marx will be a candidate for presi
dent of the republic, while Maron
Ago von Maltzan. is spoken of as
the possible next ambassador to
Washington though It Is doubtful
that any definite decision regarding
that post will be reached until Am
bassador Wlefeldt's return.
As a candidate for the new chan
celloi-phlp. the name of Count Hugo
von Lochenfeld. who as a member of
the Bavarian peoples’ party is held
acceptable to both the nationalists
and the Catholic center parties, has
been mentioned.
Both the government and business
circles welcome the final acceptance
of the Dawes plan. The government
believes that the American loans
form the strongest possible barrier
against further Increase of commun
ism In Germany.
Although there are about 38,000.000
people in Germany who entertain
serious doubts that the Dawes plan
can be carried out and Expect that
modifications will have to be made,
they agree that the Influx of large
cash loans from America will cause
at least a temporary business boom
in Germany.
The first Indication of this |s the
great Increase in the participation in
the Leipzig fall fair.

Denounces
Gov. Bryan
Demo Candidate Scored as
Pacifist by Wife of Party
Chairman—Ignores Her
Husband’s Attitude.
Other Splits in Ranks
By Universal Servlee.
Washington, Aug. 31.—Mrs. Clein
L. Sliaver, wife of the chairman of
the democratic national committee,
today threw a bomb shell Into the
camp of the democrats by scoring
Governor Charles W. Bryan, rice
presidential candidate, as a pacifist.
Just when the democrats were con
gratulating themselves in having
smoothed out their differences over
the defense day tec, Mrs. Shaver in
jected the subject in the campaign
by taking Issue with those directing
the destinies of the party, including,
apparently, her husband.
Mrs. Shaver left no loophole for
the democrats In her denunciation of
the position taken by Bryan on the
defense day test. She unreservedly
endorsed the program mapped out by
the war department with the approv
al of President Coolldge, which has
been the target of Bryan, whose at
titude was approved by John W. Da
vis, the democratic presidential nomi
nee, and his advisers, after some de
lay.
Shaver Not Available.
Chairman Shaver was not at head
quarters today to discuss the dis
cordant note sounded by his wife in
denouncing Bryan's position on de
fense day. At the headquarters It
was stated Shaver had gone to the
country and was Inaccessible. He is
expected to return tomorrow.
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada,
however, who is director of the ‘‘or
ganization," and is advising Davis on
"strategy" in the campaign, made
this comment on Mrs. Shaver’s at
tack on Bryan:
"I know nothing about rumor that
there has been individual criticism
by some prominent democrats of
Governor Bryan's statement with re
gard to defense day.
"I do know that John W. Davis, In
approving the statement of Governor
Bryan, stated that the mobilization of
our potential war forces was entirely
unnecessary at this time, and con
served no good purpose.
"That Is my personal view and I
think that it Is the view of the whole
democratic committee.”
Another Breach.
The split over defense day In Un
democratic ranks comes on the heels
of a breach over the management of
the speakers' bureau, which ended in
the resignation of Representative
James McClintlc of Oklahoma as Its
head.
Pittman was disposed today to
minimize the split In the speakers' bu ■
reau.
Pittman expressed the opinion that j
a successor to McClintlc as director
of the speakers in the campaign \
would be selected within the next day
or so. upon the return of Chairman
Shaver. He said that McClintlc will
be “associated with the committee In !
another capacity.” It Is reported he
will be made head of the congres
sional campaign committee.
The democrats In their presidential
rare are also confronted with a quar
rel among the women who are asso
ciated In the campaign. The old
fight against Mrs Kmily Newell
Blair, who was re elected vice chslr
man over the protest of many leading
women, hns been renewed and the in
dications are it will be almost lmpos
sible to reconcile the different fac
tions as to present a solid front.

By Associated Press.
Lincoln, Aug. 31. — With the re
establishment of an acquaintance be
gun In the early 90s with Charles O.
Dawes. his republican opponent,
fiesh In mind, Governor Bryan, the
democratic nominee for vice presl
dent, left he^e at 8 o'clock tonight
for Omaha, en route to Elk Point,
H. D., where on Monday he will open
the democratic campaign In the
northwest with an address on agri
culture.
Although the speech, on which Gov
ernor Bryan has been working the
last week, and which will be the
first political address he has made
since formally accepting the nomlna
tion here August 18, will he made
three days after that on the same
subject delivered here Friday night
by Mr. Dawes, the democratic nomi
nee has said he will not attempt to
reply to his opponent’s views.
Word has been received here that
elaborate arrangements have been
made by Louis N. Crlll, South Dakota

reception and speech, which will he

VAST INTEREST IN
LEAGUE MEETING
Bjr AMwIntH I’rfM.
Geneva, Aug. 31—Not since the
peace conference of Versailles have
the peoples of the world shown such
an Interest In an International gath
ering as In the fifth assembly of the
league of nations, which will open
here tomorrow to take up supreme
world problems end the question how
best to avert future world wars.
The vast Interest Is made evident
by messages which arriving dele
gates and simple cltixens are bringing
to Geneva from scores of lands. In
eluding the Vnlted States These
messages are to the effect the people
everywhere want something real
achieved.
There seems to he a feeling preva
lent hern that a suitable atmosphere
for faehlonlng some binding and ef
fectlve project of accord among the
nations has been created.
' J licRe nunnreus oi unusual apfna
tori of a great event reverently
watched the great mechanical birds
of the 20th century as they soared
their way overhead to their landing
place at Ice Tickle.
"Tickle" means channel or water
passage In the Indian language. Ac
cording to tradition, Eric the Red,
who discovered Greenland, from
where the world fliers took off on
their last North Atlantic hop, was
also the discoverer of I>abrador, when
he journeyed here In a cockle shell
four centuries before Columbus dis
covered America.
Guns Are Fired.
Eric the Red Is supposed to have
landed at almost the Identical place
where the fliers completed their At
lantic hop In less than half a day.
Including fishermen and the Gren
fell mission hospital staff, and pa
tients probably hardly more than 100
spectators, excepting the navy men
and correspondents, witnessed the
epochal event of aviation when the
fliers arrived In Indian Harbor.
Guns were fired and whistles
tooted, while spectators waving
American flags shouted their cheers.
The fliers arrived In the farthest
north settlement of white men on
the east coast of North America, as
only Eskimos and Indians live be
yond on the edge of the Arctic Cir
cle. In the summer there are always
a few fishing schooners along the
north coast, but they have no radio.
After visiting strange lands In their
circuit of the globe such as none of
the flyers ever dreamed of encoun
terlng In real life, they arrived here
to find a community In the primeval
wilderness practically unchanged
since the first settlers came here ex
cept for the advent of motorboats and
the Installation of a small wireless
"tation an 1 h-spital
Two More Hops.
There are two more hops for the
fliers—to Hawkes Bay, N. F., and
thence to Pictou, N. C-—before the
final hop to United States territory.
These may prove to be by no means
easy and may develop difficulties,
uthe Ra tt cmfw etaoin bmaahmbobm
The most painstaking and elaborate
preparations had been made for the
world flight of the army fliers ever
since the original plan was conceived
two year* ago. The actual details of j
preparation began a year or more
ago.
Subsequent ro-operntion by the
navy Included (he use of a total of J
11 ships and a personnel of about;
1,500 men.
The government desired to sehlov
th» feat for the sake of educating the
public to (he neceeslty of placing
American flying forces on a par with
the French and Rrltlsh services as a
vital arm of national defense, follow
lng the naval disarmament confer
ence.
Radio Helped.
Wartime aircraft and misdirected
effort had left the public and con
gress In a state of skepticism. The
result of the world flight, however,
will go much further, as success
means International commercial de
velopment by the employment of new
routes on which weather conditions
will now be charted.
There has l»cen a realisation that
the arrival of the fliers hack on the
North American continent practically
a pelted the finish of the historic ef
fort, so meticulous care was excr
clsed for safeguarding the North At j
lantic crossing to Insure the safety
of the men end the nlrcrnft.
Two vital considerations were
weather reports and communication
by rndln. The weather reports have
been of the highest rinse, but radio

at times, both for neeeaeary official
and for press messages Informing
the world of tbs progress of the

By Inlversal s«vkf.
Herrin, 111., Aug. 31.—With the In
quest Into deaths of six men slain in
Saturday's gunfight set for 9 Wednes
day ■morning, an ominous quiet, en
forced by bayonets of two companies
of Illinois national guard, prevailed in
this storm center of Williamson coun
ty today, while both factions of Ku
Klux Klan and anti klan inaugurated
the second stage of latest battle by
swearing out murder warrants
against each other.
Police Magistrate Abo Hicks Issued
21 warrants charging murder of
Dewey Newbolt, Charles Willard and
Green Dunning the three klansmen
who lost their lives in the affray. The
warrants will be served on Sheriff
George Galligan, Deputy Sheriff Ora
Thomas, Ihe Shelton brothers, Carl
and Earl, and others, Magistrate
Hicks said.
On the other hand, Sher.ff George
Galligan admitted he had a number
of warrants sworn out by State's At
torney Delos Duty before a Marion
justice of the peace, ready to serve
on klansmen alleged by Galligan to
have been Involved In deaths of Ches
ter Reid, Otto Roland and Deputy
Sheriff Bud Allison. Among those
for whose arrest Sheriff Galligan said
he had warrants were John H. Smith,
Harold Crain, Charles Denham. Harry
Herrin, Thomas Thornton, San Chil
ders, John Whiteside and others, ail
prominent in klan affairs.
Both Sides Ask Troops.
Nellson, Denham, Smith and
Crampton. and seven other Herrin
klansmen. were arrested late Satur
day night and taken to the Saline
county Jail at Harrisburg. They are
h»M w'thout bonds. The arrest was
ma'% by Deputy Sh»r.ffs George Wal
ker and Ed Kerget. Galileans depu
ties. No formal charges have been
filed against the men. No trouble
was experienced in making the ar
rests. according to the deputies.
Both factions have asked Com
manding Officer Maj. Robert W.
I>avis of Carbondale for aid of troops
in serving their warrants. Major
Davis, after communicating with Adj.
Gen. Carlos Black at Springfield, re
fused their request. The military
authoritles, fearing the effect of ini
mediate serving of warrants, asked
that both sides refrain from making
arrests until after the inquest.
Dr. J. T. Black, head of the Herrin
city hospital, which klansmen charge
l* the opposing element's stronghold
here, was free on 115.000 bond follow
ing his arrest on a murder warrant
Saturday night, sworn out by C. H.
Ford. Sheriff Galligan also scored
when he lodge-1 a klansman In the
county jail at Marlon. Identity of
this prisoner has not been disclosed.
Troop* Save Situation.
Clyde Craig, who was also arrested
Saturday night, was released on
f 15,000 bond also.
General feeling Is that only the
prompt arrival »f troops Saturday
night prevented further bloodshed.
The klan faction, which styles itself
"the law enforcing element," is bitter
against Sheriff Galligan. his deputies
and State's Attorney Delos Duty.
"Cold blooded murder.” Is the klan
comment of the shooting of Newbolt.
Dunning and Willard.
In an Interview John H. Smith,
owner of the garage In front of which
