Thousands Made
l by Bryan in Coal,
f Johnson Charges
Former Governor Bitterly
Attacked for Alleged Ir
regularities While iu
Office.
(Contlnurd from Fxt One).
Klneer. Johnson's statement on the
jOry*nn charges follows In part:
“I challenged Charley Bryan to ap
pear before a committee appointed by
this legislature and prove that there
has been any change in elasslfication
^suiting in an overcharge to con
tractors.
"The ex-governor made a charge, 18
months before retiring from office,
stating 'That there was a steal of
DtBa.OOO on the Cherry county project,
due to changes in classification’.
"If your honorable body will call
Btyan before you I wIU prove to you
that two months before making this
charge he had received a notice from
th« federal highway department In
forming him that the federal depart
ment had approved this project, and
requested him to file the necessary
papers and the federal government
Would pay Its share of the cost. So,
in substance, his charge was a plain
misstatement of facts.
Federal Investigation.
‘‘The ex-governor charges that a
federal investigation shows there
were several overpayments to con
tractors. Bryan had the federal high
way department make an investiga
tion early in 1924 thinking he would
get something to use during the cam
lMign.
"This Investigation was completed
ito July, last year, and a report made,
tf* had si* months In which to ad
Jdst this matter if there was any
thing wrong, but, not getting what
h« wanted, he has filed a false charge
with the attorney general, knowing
that no action could be maintained,
and at the next election he hoped to
l|« In a position to claim that the
attorney general had not properly per
lftrmed his duty."
Johnson in Ills statement relative
t», Bryan breaking the corrupt prac
tices art does not go Into details. lie
tells the legislature that If It will
hold an Investigation he has affi
davits to prove his charges.
‘‘What Is more, everything I know
about the governor's Illegal acts are
|)0t contained In the charges filed
With the legislature," Johnson said to
newspaper men. "I hpve not shot my
fchtlre load. I will, however, If an In
vestigation is called, and if Governor
jjityan will consent to appear before
investigation committee. This
rpakes my third effort to get him be
fore a committee of investigation. Two
hnsucpessful attempts were made at
Iasi session of the legislature.”
Cites Coal Invoices.
In making his charges that Bryan
profited many thousands of dollars
ft’otn the sale of coal Johnson does go
l-nto considerable and startling details.
He says. In part: "I believe if n com
mittee should go Into th* operation of
this coal company it will find that
Ihryan has made a great many thou
sands of dollars profit In addition to
the 23 centR per tun he wds supposed
tO have made. Mv statement Is made
by men who claim to have seen In
voices showing that Bryan was
inaking an additional 80 cents to 41
per ton. If the people of Idncoln will
lake the ear numbers of coal bought
liy Charley Bryan when he was with
tlve city and trace the origin of the
''Hrs they will find that a large amount
of coal that was sold and paid for as
Kranklln county, Illinois, coal was a
cheaper grade of coal, that the city
paid considerably more than the list
price on the coal and the coal was
purchased without receiving competi
tive bids."
Johnson also took a slap at Bryan's
charges concerning a reduction in
gasoline. He says:
"The truth Is the previous admin
istration Installed the gasoline stor
age plant. If you will examine the
records you will find that we always
isn-ehased our gasoline 50 per cent
below filling station prices. The truth
n*. Bryan was not able to sell gasoline
as low as It has been sold In Omaha
Ir1-1 . .. ..
and in the towns in our surrounding
states."
Former Governor Bryan was visi
bly agitated when informed of tfle
charges preferred against him by
Johnson. He described them 8 s
"falsehoods, told to divert attention
from the reel Issue, the deficit in
the state road fund.” When aeked
If he wouldn't be glad to appear be
fore a committee to refute the
charges, the former governor refused
td reply In the affirmative and woiild
make to specific statement relative
to his attitude toward an Investi
gation.
In addition td the Johnson bomb
shell considerable significance was
attached to the defeat of George
Staats of Fremont, in his race for
chairmanship of the house committee
on roads and bridges. JS. F. Bailey
of Thaper county was elected to this
position which Staats has held at two
previous sessions.
Farm members of the committee
plus the democrats were united in op
position to Staats. It was charged
that Staats was too friendly to the
road program of the Nebraska Good
Itoads association, lie lost by one
vote.
Session Short.
Considerable interest is attached to
tlie optional potato grading hill Intro
duced In the senate by Dwight Gris
wold of Sheridan county. At present
inspection of potatoes must he made
by the state regardless of whether
producers desire It or not. The pres
ent law has been the object of many
indignation meetings in the potato
country in northwest Nebraska. A
bill similar to the one introduced by
Griswold passed the house two years
ago and was defeated in the senate
by one vote.
Roth house and senate were in ses
flon only a few’ minutes. Nearly all
committees In both branches met to
considered bills which have been re
ferred. It is expected committee re
ports on some of the minor measures
will be made tomorrow and come up
for discussion in the two houses to
morrow.
Kndres Active.
Senator Ho'ye of Omaha, announced
that the bil laimed at alleged ex
orbitant profits made by Sheriff Mike
Kndres of Omaha, Is being prepared
and will be introduced in a few days.
Sheriff Entires was In legislative
halls throughout the day, calling on
various members of the Douglas
county delegation.
Throughout the day Governor
Adam McMullen was busy with a
meeting of the state capltol com
mission. Routine matters pertaining
to the new state house were dis
cussed. Te:#rday, the governor at
tended a tnrtufeg of the state board
of pardons and paroles. For the next
two weeks he will devote nearly all
of his time to preparation of his
budget message.

Use of Drugs in
Dare Wedding Is
Denied by Youth
Mother Charges Candy Fed to
Girl Bride Contained
“Dope;"’ Wants
Annulment.
William Flala, 27, sun of former
County Judge Adolph Fiala of
Schuyler, Neb., Wednesday emphatic
ally denied that he drugged and forced
Pearl Butler, 17, 623 South Twenti
eth street, to marry him.
"It's not true," he exclaimed when
confronted with charges made by the
girl’s mother, Mrs. K. M. Rutler.
County Attorney Frank 'Northrop
"of Council Bluffs Tuesday informed
the mother that action to have the
marriage annulled could not be
brought in Council Bluffs because the
pair did not live' there.
Mrs. Butler announced Wednesday
morning that she would ask the ad
vice of Mrs. Ida Devin of the welfare
board. The marriage ceremony was
performed December 3 In Council
Bluffs by Rev. llenry De Hong.
Relieves Candy Drugged.
Mrs. Butler believes candy that Fi
ala brought to the house on Decem
ber 6 contained a drug.
"He had a box of candy and he
and Pearl sat there eating candy and
talking," she said.
"There were two kinds of candy,
chocolates and i pink and white
candy. He wouldn't let me eat any
of the pink and white candles, nor
would he eat any himself, but forced
Pearl to eat them all."
Flala avers that his marriage was
on a dare by Glen Smith and Frances
Erickson.
"The four of us were at Pearl's
house December 7,” declares Fiala.
"I had been keeping company with
Pearl since last February. Pearl was
going to make a visit to North Platte.
“ 'You can come along with me,'
she said.
“ 'But you’d have to get married,’
Frances remarked. ‘Glen and 1 just
dare you to.’
Accepted Dare.
"I said I was game, and Pearl said
if was all right with her, so we went
to Council Bluffs that night and tried
to get a license.
"We couldn't, but the four of us
went over the next day. Pearl and I
got our license and were married.
Pearl seemed nervous during the cere
mony, but I thought that was hut
natural.”
Mrs. Butler told County Attorney
Northrup Tuesday that she believed
Fiala forced her daughter to marry
him "to beat the time" of another
man. Clifford Reasor, the alleged
fiance of Pearl.
"Pearl was engaged to Reasor at
the time,’’ she said. "She was young
and I had refused to give my consent
to an early marriage.''
Mother Changes Mind.
Fiala stated Wednesday that he
could not account for a sudden change
of mind, which he declares Airs. But
ler displays. “When Pearl and I
were married both Mr. and Mrs. But-'
ler, and Pearl's brother. Frank, j
thought It was fine. They liked me j
and hated Reasor," he said.
"During the short time we lived to- ;
gether, Pearl showed much affei lion '
for Reasor and slipped away several
times to see him. She boasted to me 1
that the evening of the day we were'
married, Reuser called and she hugged
and kissed him."
Pearl Wanted Divorce.
The day after her marriage Pearl i
Fiala said that she did not love him I
nnd wanted a divorce, according to
the husband.
“I asked her why she married me. i
h» said, "and she said she did not I
know.
' She brought Cliff Reasor up to
see me one night. It was the Satur
day after we were married. I played
the dupe to see what his game was
-
He offered to stand the expenses If I
would get a divorce from Pearl.
"The Tuesday after our marriage,
Pearl suddenly told me to pack up
my things and get out Her parents
gave me the cold shoulder, so T went,
f can not account for tha sudden
change."
Flala went to live with his sister
at 2011 h street, South Omaha.
"I’m through; I’ll let her get a dl
voree or an tanulment, just so there's
no alimony Cached to It," said Flala
Wednesday.

such funds are badly needed for the con
struction of highways within the limits of
their own counties.
That we endorse the portion of this
bill which provides for a 2-rent tax
on gasoline but favor a distribution of
the money so raised to the several coun
ties of the state on a basis of the mileage
of federal and state highways within
their respective boundaries, and,
That we favor t ho presi nt dlvisiuK of
the automobile license fe«*s whereby each
county has 9ti>^ per rent of Us fees for
use within its boundaries, and.
That we favor the present system of
handling our federal and state highways
and highway funds from all sources,
through the department of public works
of the state *«f Nebraska working in

vor any reduction in the automobile li

The thrifty seldom know distress
When hunger doth the thriftless press.
—Old Mother Nature.
Tlie Great Storm.
It didn't start like a great storm.
It started very gently. A few snow
flakes came floating down. None of
the little pcoplo of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows was at all
worried about it. But more and more
came floating down, and presently
the air was so(fllIed with them that
one could see Lut a very short dis
tance. Then rough Brother North
Wind began to blow. Harder and
harder he blew. He drove those snow
Hakes hissing through the branches
of the trees in the Green Forest and
whirling in clouds over the Green
Meadows.
It was no (line, to get out and
about. All the ill tie people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadow
stayed in their homes or found snug
shelters and there waited for the
storm to pass. But the snow kept on
falling, and rough Brother North
Wind kept on blowing. The great
storm lasted all night. It lasted all the
next day. It lasted nil the night fol
lowing, No one could get out to look
for food.
It was then that tho thrifty re
joiced in their thrift. The Squirrel
cousins didn't go hungry. Of course
they had pleanty of food stored right
where they could get It. Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse and White
foot the Wood Mouse didn't mind the
storm, for they also had food stored
away. Besides, they could tunnel
above through the snow. Baddy the
Beaver and Mrs. Beaver and Jerry
Muskrat didn't even know there was
a great storm. You see they came
and went as they pleased from their
houses, swimming under the ice. They
also had plenty of food.
Johnny Chuck, Buster Bear, Bobby
Coon and Nimble Heels the Jumping
Mouse know nothing of that storm.
They were asleep. Storms meant
nothing to them. Hough Brother
North Wind might howl as he pleas
ed for all they cared.
But there were others who did
mi ml that great storm. Peter Rab
bit and Mrs. Peter did. Tho dear
Old Briar Patch was burled in snow
They were quite comfortable in an
old hole in the middle of the dear
Old Briar Patch.That Is, they were
comfortable but for one thing, they
were hungry. Their stomachs grew
emptier and emptier. Several times

Several times they tried to get out

something to eat, but the storm drove
them back.
Reddy and Mrs. Fox and Old Man
Coyote were no better off. Neither
was Shadow the Weasel. Neither
wts Ilooty the Great Horned Owl,
nor his cousin Whitey the Snowy
Owl, nor Terror the Goshawk, nor
Bob White and his family, nor Mr.
and Mrs Grouse, nor Tommy Tit the
Chickadee, nor Drummer the Wood
pecker, nor Blacky the Crow, nor
Sammy Jay'. They hadn't minded the
great storm at first. , But as it con
tinued as if it never would end and
their stomachs became wholly empty
they began to suffer. Home of them be
gan to grow weak with hunger. The
feathered folk knew that if they could
get_ up to Farmer Brown's house
Firmer Brown's Boy would have food
spread for them. But they couldn't
get up there. They couldn't go out
in that dreadful storm.
So most of the little people were i
prisoners in their homes or shelters,
and only the thrifty ones were free
from sufferings, the thrifty ones and
the sleepers.
