Fight Looms
a$ Congress
OpensToday
Key to Situation Still Held
by Insurgents—May Under
take Reprisals for Regu
| lars’ Action.
Farm Measures Assured
Washington, Nov. 3D.—With the
breach between the regular and in
surgent republican organization still
further widened, the HStli congress,
which already has established a rec
ord as the most turbulent in the na
Hon> history, will reconvene tomor
row for its short and final session.
In the three months intervening
before March 4, efforts will be made
to put through some important gen
eral legislation in addition to the
annual appropriation bills, but with
little apparent prospect of success.
The key to the whole situation
still is held by the insurgents, whose
recognized leader. Senator La Toi
lette of Wisconsin, and his three
chief supporters in the senate, have
been read out of the party councils
by senate republicans. Whether they
will undertake reprisals for this ac
lion remains to he developed.
Fight Will Be Pressed.
One thing is certain, the last chap
ter on this subject lias not yet been
written. Senators who have disagreed
with this action of their republican
colleagues intend to express their
views when the senate is called upon
to act on the report of the repub
. lican committee on committees cov
* ering the new assignments to stand
ing committees to fill vacancies
caused by the death of several sena
tors during the last six months.
I Leaders of the house republicans
have no present intention of follow
ing the lead of the senate organiza
tion by reading out of their councils
Representative John M. Nelson of
Wisconsin and others who supported
Senator Li Follette in his campaign
as the independent candidate for the
presidency. There Is no occasion for
the calling of a conference of house
ptpM republicans as there was of the sen- j
ate organization which was required
to elect a new leader to succeed the
late Henry Cabot Lodge.
Likewise, there is no occasion for
the democrats of the senate to meet
in party conference and some of the
minority leaders have stated that
no"" would be called solely to con
sider the ouestlon of reading out of
the party Senator T,a Fol’ette's run
* nlng mate. Senator Burton K.,
Wheeler, democrat, Montana.
Opening Session to Be Brlef.
The opening sessions tomorrow of
both the house and senate will be
brief. New members elected or ap
pointed to succeed those who have
died sitiufe last May, will be sworn in
and committees will be named to in
w form the president that the congress
is ready to receive communications
from him. Then resolution* will lie
adopted on the death of members
and immediate adjournment will l>e
taken out of respect to their memor
ies.
There will is* little activity in
either house until after receipt of
1‘resident Coolidges second annual
message, which, under present plans,
will be transmitted by messenger on
Wednesday and read in the house
and senate by their respective clerks.
Karly attention will be given by the
house to the annual supply measures,
the first of which, that for the In
terior department, probahly will be re
ported out Tuesday. The appropria
tions committee lias the work on a
W number of others well under way and
♦ Chairman Madden hopes to get them
all out before the first of the new
year.
Agreed On Nped of Farm Aid.
While the house is thus engaged,
the senate, under plans'of the ma
jority leaders, will take up such gen
eral legislation as the steering com
mittee shall deem of the first impor
tance. Admittedly, however, this plan
Is purely tentative and might easily
be altered if the democrats and Insur
gents desire to do so.
Farm aid legislation Is ony thing
k that leaders in both houses are anx
» loua to )iut through, but early action
is not in prospect os congress prob
ably will desire to await the report of
tlie farm commission appointed by

Interest Flags
' ll lot Total Expected to Fall
Far Short of Record Set
Last May—No Domi
nant Issue.
By Associated Cress.
Berlin, Nov, 30.—Germany next
Sunday will elect a new reiehstag.
While the eight major parties and
non partisan and unatached groups
have qualified fo" entry on the ofi*
rial ballot, the campaign thus tar
has. wholly failed to evoke the same
measure of popular interest that
brought out 20,000,000 votes last May.
The political leaders anticipated
that there will be a falling off of
several million votes next Sunday, as
compared with the balloting last May,
and a reduction of the number of
deputies in the new reiehstag by at
least 30. as the proportional system
of voting allots one mandate to every
30,000 votes.
No Lively Slogan.
The prevailing inerta is largely
horn of popular disgust with German
party”politics and incompetent reich
stagers, and, whereas, the Dawes
plan was the cardinal Issue in the May
elections, the present campaign has
wholly failed to produce a slogan
■calculated to rouse the voters out of
their lethargy.
The three liberal parties—socialists,
clericals and democrats—are making
the issue one of democratic principles
by appealing to the voters to stand
by the republic and the Weimar con
stituion. They also are making an
effective bid for votes on the plea
that he government's course in ac
cepting the London agreement has
been amply vindicated in the pro
gressive improvement in the nation's
economies since September 1, and
that any deviation from present poli
cies, both with respect to tho gov
ernment's Internal and foreign pro
-ram, not only would incur a re
; udeseence of economic convulsions,
hut constitute and faith with respect
to German s reparation obligations as
dictated by the London agreement.
Hack L'p DaweV Plan.
The heavy gains In mandates scored
by the nationalists and communists
last May, and the advent In the rpich
stag of General Ludendorffs faselsti
party with 30 deputies, primarily were
the result of the widespread social
unrest growing out of the era of in
flation. As these parties prosper
only by fishing in troubled waters,
their prospect of maintaining their
present number of seats in the retell
stag has measureably depreciated
through tlie advent in Germany of
sound currency and the resultant
benefits of a visible betterment in so
cial and economic eonditionif
Tho process of Illuminating Voters
and urging them to 'leas»■ sveli
enough alone.” also has liberally bene
fited through the steady flow of
American loans and credits which,
despite occasional caustic references
as to rates of interest charged by
the American bankers, has definitely
impressed the popular mind In Ger

New York, Nov. 30.—In a crowded
room at No. 6ti Broad street, experts
of the Radio Corporation of America
today gave a public demonstration
of the art of receiving pictures across
the Atlantic ocean.
It was almost uncanny to see a
fountain pen pluck from the air and
record on a cylinder no bfgger than
a, baking powder can the features of
famous faces selected in Marconi
House, London.
The new wonder was only a few
days old. The first picture to come
across the Atlantic by wireless was
that of President Coolidge received
Friday. Yt had been closely followed
by that of Secretary of State Hughes.
The busy little machine, sitting on
a desk senrceely larger than a tea
table, seemed too good to he true.
Could it really be a fact that from
London 4,000 miles away, were be
ing sent the lineaments of T’nlted
States Ambassador Kellogg taking
form right under the eyes of a score
of eager watchers'.' The receiving in
strument seemed like a printing
press, as unromantlc as a sewing
machine.
Two Pictures At Once.
Then the machine stopped while a
word message interrupted the half
finished picture. A joke about pro
hibition wirelessed front newspaper
men watching the pictures being sent
from Marconi House, London, fol
lowed by a question as to the results
in New York, ^brought the realiza
tion that the marvel was genuine. It
brought to the intent group watch
ing the the pen tracing the growing
picture a vision of another, similar
group in far-off London observing
the picture being sent.
Methodically, tire little machine re
volved and turned, the pen moved
from side to side and up and down,
and in a brief quarter of an hour, an
unmistakable likeness of Ambassador
Kellogg was apparent. Meanwhile
on a concealed cylinder, ravs of light
had Imnressed another portrait on a
sensitive photographic film, making
two oietures received in one trans
mission.
Many Po««iMlltles.
In oifl-'k Bticeesoion, there follow

and the raising of a sunken steamer
in the river Tees.

London—Charles Robinson and his pretty blonds wife. Maude, were
vindicated Friday by a jury of the charge of complicity in the blackmail of
the mysterious eastern potentate, who was trapped with Mrs. Robinson
in a Paris hotel.
Thus Mrs. Robinson’s sworn statement that she became the eastern
princes inamorata because she lo\ed him. and Robinson’* equally formal
denial that he planned his wife’s unfaithfulness for gain, were accepted as
Ihe truth by 10 men and two women who comprised, the jury hearing the
case.

where the money was deposited and later withdrawn by' the persons who
engineered the blackmail plot—will not l»e made for 10 days or a fortnight.
Meanwhile Lord Justice Darling will hear sercret arguments by the oppos

"If T had been a coward and

the great order of The Gideon*," said
John H. Nicholson of Tdenver, founder
of tho order of Christian traveling
men, addressing th» hlg men's Bible
class Sunday morning at the First

He is also national secretary of the
Inner Circle of Prayer and evangel
ism of which lie Is the founder. Ills
topic was "Be a Booster.'* He dem
onstrated that boosters rise and
knockers get a dose of their own
“medicine.**
"A booster I* n man of courage and
optimism: a knocker Is a coward and
a pessimist.'* he declared.
"Serving God pays even In world
ly goods. I Imagine T can hear
some dissent from that statement.
But It can be proved. The big. out
standing business men of tills hlg
country are men who serve God and
are not ashamed of it. I remember
the wholesale grocery house operated
with such astonishing success by Ned
Wheeler In Birmingham. Ala. livery

the same kind.
'Boost tills Bible class. Are you

Broken Bow, Neb., Nov. 30.—Infat
uation for another woman which
could not brook the delay of the di
vorce court, may lead Frank Bruner,
47, roundhouse foreman of Sargent,
Neb., to the death house of the Ne
braska penitentiary.
Tonight Bruner, who has been in
jail here since Friday, confessed that
he poisoned his wife, and named Aro.
esta Northey, 47, of Sargent, as his
accomplice.
The confession came after two day*
of questioning, during which Bruner
admitted his intimacy with Aroesta
Northy, mother of four children,
whose husband is 38 year* her senior.
She Denies (.barge.
In her eell here tonight, where she
was placed after Bruner signed a
statement admitting his guilt, she de
nied that she supplied the poison tab
lets which led to Mrs. Bruner's sud
den death last Monday.
"Bruner told me he would get a
divorce from his wife in the spring.''
she declared, "but I didn't have any
thing to do with poisoning her.”
When only 20 Mrs. Northy, a tall
and slender woman, married At*
Northy, then 58. For 25 years they
lived together, to finally separate a
year ago. A short time later the in
timacy between her and Bruner de
veloped to such an extent that
tongues wagged in Sargent and’ the
tale drifted at last to Mrs. Bruner.
They quarrel bitterly, according to
the county attorney's office, but
Mrs. Bruner mainta.ned her place In
their home at Sargent.
1-ast September Bruner took an
automobile trip of 21 day s which led
him through Nebraska, Kan***? and
Colorado. With him went Mrs.
Northy.
"But It was an innocent trip with
nothing wrong about it,” Bruner
naively told County Attorney
Schaper That "innocent trip,” how
ever, led to Bruner s arrest five days
after his wife's mysterious death.
"Mercury poison,” said the state
chemist when asked to determine the
cause of the death of Mrs. Bruner.
From that time the ease moved rap
idly. Bruner was placed In Jail Fri
day, Saturday he admitted his Inti
macy with Mrs. Northy and today he
confessed.
Poison in Tea.
To the county attorney he related
the details of his crimsv Working
as he does at night he was home
Monday- when his wife waa washing.
At noon she stopped to prepare lunch
for their four children and a cup of
tea for herself. Into the cup Bruner
slipped the poison tablets which, h*
says were given him by Mrs. Northy.
A few minutes later Mrs. Brunei
collapsed while hanging up the*
clothes. Neighbors ran to assist b< r
and a physician was called, but alia
8*as dead liefore assistance reached
her.
First degree murder charges were
filisl again-- Bruner Friday. What
charged will lie filed against Mis.
Northy has not been indicated by
County Attorney Schaper who filed a
complaint against her as an acres
son. With that < omplaint as his
authority Sheriff Talbot this after
noon di >ve to Sat tent and brought
the woman to Broken Bow where, in
Iter cell, she protests her Innocence.
