Factions Join to Fight Party Circle Change l.cailers of All Political Faiths in State Urge Voters to De feat Proposed Constitu tional Change. Prominent republicans, democrats, progressives and members of other political parties are united on one question at the coming election. . They believe the proposed state constitutional amendment to eilmi ifote the party circle on ballots should be voted down. Without the party circle to guide them, voters would he completely in the dark. With nothing before them but a list of names, they would be helpless to choose wisely. A circular is being mailed out to educate voters on this subject, to show them that such an amendment ■\youId "put masks upon the candi dates and blinders upo nthe voters." The circular asking voters to vote "no” on the proposed amendment, is signed by former Governor Samuel Jt. McKelvie, republican, and former United States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, democrat; by former Unit ed States Senator Norris Brown, re publican, and former Governor Keith Neville, democrat, and by more than 100 other men and women of various political parties. Would Hurt All Parties. "Such an amendment would forbid the people of Nebraska to organize political parties or to exercise in ef fective manner their right to nom inate and elect to office by joint endeavor the men and women of their choice,” says the message to the voters. Her* Is the full text and list of names attached: To the Voters of Nebraska: The undersigned, Irrespective of party, call your attention to the proposed amendment to the state constitution, submitted next Tues day, November 4. There Is widespread misunder standing as to what this amend ment really provides. Its osten sible purpose is (1) to write the direct primary law into the state constitution and (2) to eliminate the party circle. Its real purpose and effect is much more serious. It forbids the use, upon the election ballot, of any party designation or any indentification whatsoever op posite the names of candidates. This amendment, If adopted, will destroy every political party In Ne braska. Furthermore, It will pre vent the effective organization of any new political party in Ne braska. The amendment denies the voter the right to know who, among the Candidates, are republicans, or democrats, or prohibitionists, or *$5cialists. It prohibits a candidate from admitting his allegiance to a party platform or his responsibility to the party which support* his candidacy. It puts masks upon the candidates and blinders upon the voters. We do not here oppose the direct primary or the elimination of the party circle. Many voters favor one or both of these proposals. We object to this amendment because, under pretense of serving these ends, it attempts to capitalize this favorable sentiment for a totally different purpose. This amendment wobld forbid the people of Nebraska freely to organ ize political parties or to exercise in effective manner their right, heretofore inalienable, to nominate and elect to office, by joint endea vor, the men and women of their choice. Nd state In the union has ever given serious consideration to such a revolutionary departure from tra ADVERTI8EMENT.

By MILLER HOLLAND. International New* Service Staff Correspondent. San Mateo, Cal., Oct. 28.—In Cy press Lawn cemetery, several miles north of this small city, repose today tho ashes of Frank Ross Chambers, jr., son of an aged New York million aire, side by side with those of Marllouise Chambers, his 17-year-old daughter by his first marriage—both parent and child dead by their own hand within two weeks of each other. After a brief funeral service held here, attended by Mrs. Beatrice Chambers, Chambers’ 19-year-old second wife, and her mother, Mrs. George Evans of Los Angeles, the dead man’s body was cremated and placed In an urn next to the cindered remains of Marllouise. Late last night a coroner's Jury holding an inquest over Chambers’ suicide returned a unanimous verdict "that the deceased man came to his death from a pistol bullet Inflicted by his own hand. The bullet passed through his head, causing death." All members of the coroner's Jury had viewed the body prior to the funeral. Mrs. Beatrice Chambers and her mother were present at the Inquest but were not questioned. The hear ing was devoid of any sensational revelations. Kills Keif in Home. Chambers killed himself In his home here last Friday, October 24, drug-crazed and grief-stricken over the death of his daughter, who took her own life two weeks previously after having battled for months against the ravages brought on by an alleged addiction to narcotics, A diary in the girl's handwriting found In her father's room the night of his suckle revealed that Marilouls Chambers had been a victim of a drug she used to drown the unhappiness caused by the divorce of her parents a year ago in Portland, Ore., and also to forget „ “great sorrow" that came into her life a few years back when she was In Tacoma and Seattle, Wash. According to last night’s testimony, given mainly by James Foesel, a Burns detective from Los Angeles, Photography First Salesmen at this store are, first of all, experi enced photographers. They know—in language you can understand—Kodak, Gra flex and Brownie cameras inside and out : Naturally, they are equipped both by experi ence and inclination to help you select the camera best suited to your own partic ular requirements. Come in and sea Eastman Kodak Co* I * (The Robert Dempster Co.) 1813 Fornom St Branch Si ore 308 South 15th St. M „ „ - — —7 employed by Chambers as a com panion after the death of Martlouis, Chambers was heartbroken over his daughter's suicide and during the last two weeks of his life used narcotics to such an extent, Foesel said, that he became crazed with the drugs. Foesel also stated that Chambers even resorted to the drinking of ether diluted In water In order to calm his shattered nerves. ''Chambers Nervous Wreck.” ‘‘Chambers was a nervous wreck," Foesel told the coroner's jury, "and his condition was undoubtedly caused by grief over his daughter's death and by his subsequent excessive use of narcotics and ether.” An anoymous letter threatening Chambers’ life was received by Mari loulse's father several days before his suicide, but it was not taken very seriously, Foesel declared In his testi mony. “It was inv opinion that some crank wrote It," the Burns detective said, "and I explained to Chambers that he need not worry over it.” However, as an apparent precau tionary measure, Chambers applied to Chief of Police T. F. Burke of San Mateo for a permit to carry a pistol. This was refused him. In spite of this refusal, Chambers purchased on automatic pistol the Monday before his death, last night’s testimony re vealed. It was this pistol that served to end his life.

Cook Exonerated in Chinese Death Chin Hin Guiltless, Jury Finds; Police Hold to Jealousy Theory. Crtiin ilin, Chinese cook, was not connected with the murder Monday morning of Ong Len, waiter, a cor oner’s jury found Tuesday morning. The Jury recommended that Hin be released. All evidence heard nt the Inquest Tuesday morning at Ileafey & Heafey’s mortuary indicated the Ini probability that a tong dispute was responsible for Len’s death. Len was shot dead in the kitchen of a restau rant at 1301 Douglas street early Monday. Through Interpreters Hin told the coroner's Jury a connected story of Ilia actions at the time of the shoot ing. lie said lie found Len’s body beside a table, locked the front door of the restaurant and hurried to the Keystone hotel to tell his partner, Harry Wong of the shoting. Wong took the stand and corroborated this part of Hln’s story. Charlie Hule, 119 North Twelfth street, und Charles Yuen, 3910 North Twenty-fifth street, both prominent Chinese merchants, ridiculed the theory of a tong war in their testi mony at the inquest. Yuen declared that only one strange Chinese hud appeared in Omaha since the outbreak of the tong wars in the east. This man, he said, had been forced by Chinese merchants to leave the city. Chinese who testified de clared that neither Hin nor Len were members of any tong, so far as could be learned. Hin testified at the inquest that Len had left Omaha nine months ago because some white girls, whom he was accused of enticing into a taxicab some time before, had been "making trouble" for him. Len was in Wyoming until a few weeks ago. Police are still working on the theory that Jealousy over a white girl was the cause of the shooting. Hin is expected to be released at a hear ing in police court Wednesday morn ing.
