Hot Session
of Congress
in Prospect
Assembly (Jathers ^ ith Blood
in Eye Following Ousting
of Insurgents by
Republicans.
Split in Ranks Widens
m By GEORGE R. HOLMES.
f International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The 68th
congress will convene for Its final
session Monday with hlood in Its eye
and trouble brewing.
Instead of the drab, enlorless, rou
tine session that has generally been
expected, It now appears there is go
ing to he action a-plenty In the three
months of life that are left to the
turbulent 68th congress.
The action of the republican sena
torlal conference in reading out of
the party four of its members, Da
Follette of Wisconsin, Brookhart of
Iowa, Frazier and Dadd of North Da
kota, has changed the whole aspect
of the session. Diitle else was talked
about on the hill today.
The republicans are badly divided.
The chasm that has always existed
between the regular and the so-called
progressive wings of the party has
been widened perceptibly in the last
48 hours because of the unlooked-for
and drastic action of the younger old
guardsmen In "disciplining'' the in
surgents.
Warm Words Exchanged.
Warm words were exchanged In
the conference that witnessed the
ouster resolution. Warm words were
spoken about the capitol today by
those for and against the action tak
en. Still warmer words may he
looked for once the senate actually
A gels going.
■ Senator William E. Borah of Idaho,
w whose Independence of party ties is
axiomatic around the capitol. Is pre
paring to speak his mind about ex
pelling the Insurgenta. So Is Senator
Norris of Nebraska, who votes often
er with the insurgents than with the
administration. Senator Dadd, on9
of those barred from future party
co nferences, Is writing his speech in
defense. And there Is little doubt
that J* Follette himself will be heard
from when he returns from hie na
tive Wisconsin.
The question that was everywhere
y—« asked today and nowhere answered
was:
"What retaliatory action will be
taken by the ouated insurgents? Will
they combine with the democrats to
confound the administration, which
through Senator Butler, the White
House spokesman, • endorsed the
spanking administered to them?
By combining with the democrats,
as they did often last session, the in
surgents are in a position to make
things exceedingly embarrassing for
the administration. They might even
force President Coolidge to call an
extra session of the 69th congress
after March 4, which he is exceeding
ly loath to do. The progressive group
of senators like Rorah want it done.
^ Iji Follette Holds Answer.
Da Follette himself appeared to
night to hold the answer. He de
' inerl in his home at Madison today
to state what his course of action
w i Hid be. Senator Brookhart was
not in the capital. Dadd and Frazier
raid they would continue voting and
acting independently of "machine dic
ta:ion." J„-i Follette will be here next
Wc-ek.
Criticism and commendation con
tinued to pour in today concerning
the action of the republican confer

Star Program
for Roads Gets
Wide Approval
Greater Omaha Committee L
Told That Favorable Legis
lative Action May Be
Expected.
The state wide good roods program,
as outlined by the Nebraska Good
Roads association, is meeting with
popular approval in all parts of the
state, officials of the association ad
vised the Greater Omaha committee
yesterday.
Peter Clement, field agent of the
association, in his report to B. F.
George of Lincoln, who is secretary,
reported that senators and represent
atives in outlying counties realize
that the good roads program is not
a selfish move on the part of inter
ests in Omaha and Lincoln, but a
state wide civic project.
Mr. Clement’s reports are very en
jeouraging, according to Mr. George, |
who is a veteran good roads enthusi
ast. He and the president, W. If.
Blakeman of Norfolk, are working in
close co-operation with T. Byrne,
chairman of the good roads commit
tee of the Greater Omaha committee.
“I feel confident that our good
roads program will meet wtih the
approval of the corning legislature.’:
said Mr. George. “The program will
| bring good roads to nearly all parts
of the state and all of the state will |
reap the benefits. Because of the
condition of Nebraska’s roods this
state is losing many thousands of
dollars annually because tourists are
going by the way of Missouri and
Kansas I'lty.”
Following is the good roads pro
gram as being sponsored by the
Greater Omaha committee and the
Nebraska Good Roads' association:
The appointment of a hi partisan
state highway commission to have
charge of the Improvement and main
tenance of all state highways.
A 2-rent gasoline tax, this tax to
be collected at the point of inspecion.
Appropriation hv the state legislature
of all funds necessary to meet govern
ment funds, apportioned to Nebraska
under the federal aid road act.
A division of all funds accruing
under the state automobile license
law to the various counties of the
state, to be apportioned f.O per cent
for improvement of state highways
and GO p**i cent for the improvement
of secondary roads under cotiny «u*
pervision.
The state good roads program has
been endorsed nut only by tbe Gieater
Omaha committee but alro by tbe*
(Chamber <>f Commerce*, the Omaha
Real Kstate board and many civic
organizations in the state.

Broken Beads Found
Bedford, la., Nov. 29.—The state to
day piled up new evidence against
Carl Hough, on trial for the murder
of Llll:an McKenney.
A roll of kodak film and a broken
string of head*, found two mile*
south of Bedford in a hedge, were
presented to the court.
The heads were found a few weeks
after the body of Lilli an McKenney
was found under a bridge 10 miles
v est of Bedford. The film was dis
covered September 30 by Sheriff Wil
liam Parri«h.
Prints of the picture contained '»n
ihe roll of film were shown to the
i I'url. They depicted Hough with hi*
father at Herrick. S. T).. and Hough
with Lillian M< Kenney. Then t litre
were other* of Lillian McKenney
alone.
The film was introduced this after
noon and cam? a* a shark to l>oth
Hough and hi* attorney, although
the attorney showed ihe shock more
than did Hough.
The beads were introduced duitng
the morning session of court.
"These were Lillian's heads.'' said
-Maude a -aster of the deail girl called
to the stand to identify the exhibit.
She also ident fled picture* of
Hough and her sister.
Was \ot Intoxicated.
William Pitch, farmer living south
of Bedford, testified that he was
awakened at 1:3(1 the morning of Au
gust 12 bv a man calling to him from
the hack gale.
.Mister, I'm poisoned," he said
when Pitch looked out of the window.
He asked for some eggs and m lk
and told Pitch his name was Wilson
and that he came from Albion. Neb.
He wa* not intoxicated. Pitch said,
and went away after consuming the
milk and eggs.
Pitch met him In the morning. He
had just backed his car out of a
byroad and was driving pest the
Fitch home. He thanked Pitch for
the help and Pitch asked him wheth
er he knew the man in Clarinda who
gave him poieomM liquor, as be
claimed.
Point* Out Hough
"I *ure do." the man responded.
"Who was the man who called
on you there that night?" asked the
prosecutor. Fitch arose and pointed
out Hough
These two witnesses cnrrobora'e
the opinion of the prosecution that
Hough killed the girl by the hedge
near the Pitch farm and then trans
ported the body to the gully under
the bridge where it was found.
Mrs. McKenney mother of the vic
tim, ap|>eared in court today for the
first time since last Wednesday when
nervousness overcame her.
It is expected the trial will take
all of next week. More than 20 stale
witnesses are still to testify.
