over San Francisco on its way from

For an hour dr more before its great
envelope, steel gray against the west
ern sky, could be seen by the thou
sands of eager watchers on the roofs
of bulldingH and on the streets.
Off the Golden Gate It bent inland
and maneuvered for altitude. Over

1,000 feet or more, described a wide
semi-circle and then dipped Into the
gathering clouds again, to he quickly

Dissolved
by Ebert
Refusal of Democrats to Par
tieipate in Ministry (Causes
Chancellor to Seek
New Elections.
Dawes Report an Issue
By AiMMiclatcd Prcw.
Berlin, Oct. 20.—The reichstag was
dissolved by President Ebert this eve
ning. After fitful efforts to con
struct a bourgeoise bloc which would
definitely control a safe majority In
the reichstag. Chancellor Marx ap
pealed to President Ebert for a de
cree of dissolution and writs for new
elections.
The refusal by the democrats o
participate in a ministry which ex
tended only in the direction of the
nationalists proved a deciding factor
In the chancellor’s ( decision to
abandon his negotiations, especially
as his own party also was in open
revolt against any pact which would
drive the socialists Into opposition.
As was the case In the spring cam
paign, the Dawes report again will
be the outstanding Isbuo in the forth
coming elections, n that the demo
crats and clericals will demand the
continuation of Germany’s foreign
policies along the lines enunciated by
the retiring cabinet which were
wholly/ dictated and shaped by the
issues revolving around Germany’s
acceptance and fulfillment of the
Dawes plan. In this both bour
geoise parties have the active sup
port of the socialists.
Resent Double Dealing.
Just what will he the slogan of
Stresemann’s peoples party and the
Hergt-Von Tlrpltz party cannot be
foreshadowed. It Is plain from
the progress of the interpartv nego
tiations conducted by Chancellor
Marx during the last six weeks that
both democrats and clericals bitterly
recent the double dealing with which
they charge the leaders of the peo
ples party and which Is said to con
sist of a secret promise to liergt
that the nationalists would be defi
nitely received into the government
and given leading cabinet posts as a
reward for their partial support of
the Dawes plan when It came up for
final acceptance late in August
The chancellor exhausted every ex
pedient at his command In order to
avoid new elections, but the confu
sion thrown into the situation by
Stresemann’s party through Its es
pousal of the nationalists and its
open affront to the socialists made
further parleys impossible.
The present situation does not re
volve Itself Into a cabinet crisis and
Is altogether the result of the exist
ing party lineup in the reichstag,
which precludes the formation of a
workable majority government.
Slight Alteration.
The Marx-Stresema nil ministry will
continue in office until the newly
elected reichstag produces Its suc
cessor. Just what the new- jwrty
lineup will be is wholly a matter of
conjecture. There are enough polit
ical prophets at hand to predict that
the new shuffle of mandates will
yield only a slight alteration In the
strength of the respective parties.
The socialist*, who have been the
most consistent clamorers for new
elections, enter the campaign with
every prospect of winning back the
seats lost to the communists last
spring. The clericals and democrats
also are credited with good prospects
for gains, while Ludendorff's fascist!
party, which Is wholly of mushroom
growth, Is hooked for heavy defec
tions owing to the party's inshlllty to
finance an active campaign and also
through loss of prestige In Bavaria,
which formerly was its stronghold.

™»ach on Wabash Road
Possession is nine points of the
law, Wabash officials and agents and
Council Bluffs police are ready to
admit.
A. C. Terry, Liberty Center, la.,
a farmer, boarded a passenger coach
of the Wabash railroad Saturday at
Chillcothe, Mo.
I "This train is my mansion; 1 shall
not want," quoth he. "I'm divisional
superintendent of this here railroad.
Porter, will you see if the cook has
some buttered toast. I’m a poached
egg and I’m tired of standing up.”
Wouldn't Get Off.
Terry had a ticket to Jamestown,
Mo., but he refused to get off at that
stop. The train arrived in Council
Bluffs at 11 Saturday night. Terry
was adamant and rode with the train
to Omaha and back to Council
Bluffs again.
W. L. Gillespie, Wabash agent, de
cided it- was time to do something
about it, so he went into the train
to drag out Mr. Terry. The farmer
would not be dragged. They fought.
Gillespie banged the unwelcome pas
senger several times over the head
with his gun but in the end retreated
ingloriously.
"The bigger they are the bigger
the coffin." exulted Terry.
Fights Like Tiger.
At S Sunday morning he was still
holding the “fort.” As a last resort
the railroad agents called for police
aid. A squad of Bluffs coppers re
sponded. They found Terry singing
songs of triumph.
After recruiting a small army of
roailroad agents, mechanics and train
men the police decided to do their
duty. The railroad men swarmed
into the car. Terry fought like a
tiger. Several windows were broken.
Terry’s face was a mass of blood
when finally he was downed and the
police came and snapped handcuffs
on his wrists. He is held for in
vestigation.

Coleridge, Neb., Oct. 20.—Business
of rnlslng, buying snd selling chick
ens may become equal to that of
dairying In northeastern Nebraska.
That is the opinion of farmers liv
ing In that section. Their judgment
is based upon the large number of
trucks seen along the roads recently
hauling poultry to market. The con
tinual advance In the price of eggs
and dressed poultry, they say. has
led farmers to develop this portion of
their business more extensively than
ever before.

By WILL M. MUTIN'.
Staff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee
Superior, Neb., Oct. 20.—The two
extremes of the cattle raising indus
try were visited by the purebred sire
special today. The country of beef
cattle came first and the country of
dairy cattle came next. 14
Red Cloud, the center of a great
beef cattle raising country, welcomed
the train in a body. They were not
searching so much for Information
about dairy cattle as they were an
opportunity to satisfy their curiosity
as to just what a dairy sire looked
like.
Harvey Reeve, Guide Rock, was
awarded the Holatein bull. After the
award, several ranchers were con
verted to the thoroughbred sire Idea.
At Superior, a center of a vast
dairying district, the homo of three
creameries, the welcome given the
train differed vastly from the first.
Here the dairy sire meant something
and a good crowd looked over the
train. Soren Olsen, Boetwick, re
ceived the bull.

Mutz Seeks
Agreement
at Lincoln
La Follette State Chairman,
Victorious in Court Fight,
Plans to Offer Olive
Branch to Harrison.
Elated Over Decision
By H. H. PETERS,
Stuff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Oct. 20.—Otto Mutz, victor
in his legal tight today to re establish
himself as chairman of the state cen
tral committee of the La Follette in
dependent party, will not remove La
Follette literature from Frank A. Har
rison's .headquarters if he can come
to an agreement with Harrison, he
said tonight.
Mutz was authorized by Justice of
the Peace W. T. Stevens to remove
all literature and account books from
Harrison headquarters to rooms
rented three blocks away, after a
hearing which dragged through Sat
urday afternoon and the better part
of this morning.
Mutz will propose that he handle
the state end of the campaign with
the regional director in charge of his
six states as before, but with his
hands off the detailed supervision of
the fight In Nebraska. He Intends to
lay his proposition before Harrison
tomorrow and at the same time issue
a statement outlining his position.
Mutz Fluted.
Mutz makes no pretense of hiding
his elation at his court victory. Sat
urday afternoon he was discouraged
at the prospects and that discourage
ment was carried Into the courtroom
today. As a result he had no definite
plan of immediate action when the
hearing was concluded, but simply an
nounced that no steps for the removal
of I-a Follette literature would bo
taken today.
If Harrison refusea to accede to
Mutz' proposition that he take com
plete charge of the state campaign,
the veteran politician Is expected to
carry out his original proposal to take
the state headquarters down the
street, where he plans to handio
speakers in the state and dispatch
literature. That cannot take place
until tomorrow afternoon at the earli
est, however.
Harrison's Job Advisory.
The Justice found that Mute was
duly and legally elected chairman of
the Ivi Follette forces by the (Irand
Island convention, and that Frank
Harrison, regional director, has no
legal standing or rapacity In Nebras
ka to remove duly elected officers,
his position being only advisory.
"I know of no way in which Mr.
.Mutz can legally be deprived of the
possession of campaign literature
which conies to hint in his official ca
pacity as chairman,” said Justice
Stevens.

“Confiscation.”
“Davis Hopelessly Lost’
Senator Robert M. I-a Follette <le
dared in an address at the Audi
torium last night that he would
the next president of the United
States.
Davis, lie said. Is hopelessly beaten
while Coolldge is losing ground every
hour. The Independent candidate ex
pressed hjs confidence in victory in
the west, and asserted that a political
landslide is on In the east, with him
self as the beneficiary.
Senator Da Follette said:
"We are mobilizing our fortes to
drive straight through to a victor;
In the states which are necessary to
give us a majority in the electoral
college. We are relying con Aden tty
on the progressives of Nebraska and
the other western states to gird up
for a vigorous, aggressive light until
the polls close on November 4
In Fight to Win.
"f did not enter this contest to
throw the election into the house o»
the senate. I went into this fight
I have gone into every other tight
in my entire public career I v.i L
in to win. 1 say that Coolldge ind
Davis are already defeated. The.
know it and their managers know it.
That is tfie reason they are talking
about throwing the election into the
house. For a hundred years ever;,
presidential election, except one. ha
been settled by the votes of the
people. The people are going to the
polls in November 4 and elect a p>'.
gresslve ticket by a majority that will
astound even its most enthusiastic
supporters ”
la Follette's optimism came as the
climax of an address which wns »1
most exclusively devoted to «« at
tack on the railroads, the Each-Cum
mins law and especially its provisions
regarding a profit on investment of
the carriers. He charged the railroads
with being out to defeat him. using
coercion and other means to gain sup
port for either Coolldge or Pav.s
Raps Railroad*.
"The railroads." ha continued, ' are
determined to preserve the speci.il
privileges of the Esch-Cunimins law
during the next administration."
He accused a hig western railroad
of having attempted, through a div.
slon superintendent to force worken
to organize Coolldge or Davis clubs
The candidates of the two old r..i.'-r
parties, he said, have been "tarred
by the same fSirk" and are satisf.n
torv to the railroads, which are
"using their economic power over the
lives of men in an attempt to coni;*!
them to vote against the progressive
ticket.”
"When I am elected prr'ident." la*
Follette added, "this kind of coerclor
this violation of the fundamental rot
stitutiopal rights of American c 'i
zens. is going to stop. We are going
to put an end not only to the coercion
of wage earners and other employes,
but to the coercion of business men
and farmers which i« now being exei
olred through the banks We ere
going to m»k» this once more a h'"
country, w here a man can even ise
all the liberties guaranteed by thA
constitution."

The Wisconsin senator <1oe« m t *o
here slriclly to the program of the
socialists to seize th# railroads in1
mediately, although he still favms the
doctrine of government ownership
His plan, according to his Omaha
speech. Is as follows
The progressives do not heller.'
that the government should conti* m;.
a single dollar of the property of the
railroads, hut they are determined
that the railroads shall no longer be
permitted to confiscate the property
of the people If continued mis
management and excessive owns
make it necessary for the government
to take over the roads, it xxill Ire done
under conditions that will profs,
every dollar honestly invested in rail
road property
"l do not believe that the people
of Nebraska will be frightened hv the
hugaboo of public ownership that has
been raised by our reactionary op
ponenii In an effort to distract atten
tion from the immediate Issues.
"The progressives do not propose
in their platform nor da they intend
to undertake any Ill-considered ex
perlments in puhllc ownership of rat
roads or along any olher line. When
we are ready to move forward
this direction we shall ohtain the
services of the best transportation ( \
ports and the best legal ami financial
counsel available We xvill study the
leeulta of public ownership of ret
roads In Europe and In t'aite I
