Washington, March 7.—An acri
monious fight developed today in the
j senate when old guard republican
I loaders offered a resolution to ignore
the rules so as to insure speedy de
motion of La Fnllette, Frazier, Ladd
and Brookhart, the four independent
republicans who were insurgents in
the last campaign.
After considerable debate the pro
gram was blocked bv Senator Norris
of Nebraska and the matter went
over until Monday.
Senator Borah of Idaho led the at
tack nn the old guard plan. He
warned bis colleagues they bad
agreed upon a very dangerous pro
gram, which would come back to
plague them.
When informed by Senator Watson
of Indiana, chairman of the commit
tee on committees, that the four inde
pendent republicans had been placed
at the foot of each committee to
which they were assigned, and the
seniority rule had been Ignored, Borah
declared:
“if that program ts ratified, the
seats of many republicans in this
body will be Imperilled In 1926. The
program Is not only impolitic from
the party standpoint, but exceedingly
impolitic as it will affect fhe work of
this body. It is unjust snd unwise
from any standpoint.”
Borah said he received “no com
fort from reviewing the Incidents of
the last campaign." adding.
“There was a great difference of
opinion among republicans as to the
issues of the campaign. ft would
be much better for the country snd
for the republican party, since these
senators indicated a desire to he con
sidered republicans, to have assigned
them a* republicans.
”It is not only unfair to them, but
to the constituents which they repre
sent. to demote them. They represent
great republican states and the voters
of those states are entitled to fair
representation on committees.”

Langley Field, Va., March 7.—In
Mend of settling the acrimonious ar
rument that has raged between the
army air service and other branches
of the service over the ability of anti
aircraft guns to protect American
coast lines against possible air In
*• salon, the tests conducted here have
only added fuel to the flames.
! From practically every point of view
j ♦he demonstrations of yesterday and
ilast night, in which anti-aircraft guns
j flred at targets towed across the sky
| hv slow moving bombers, rave su
I premacy for the afr service.
No bits were obtained by the three
j inch batteries In the daylight tests,
jnnd at night the big searchlights were
unable to pick up the targets—thus
supporting the contention of Brig.
Hen. William Mitchell that ground
fire Is of little use agilnst airplanes.
The one direct hit on any target was
by an ordinary .30 caliber machine
gun bullet.
Hundred* of Rounds.
The new heavy three Inch and the
regulatioq army machine guns <*f the
Fortress Monroe battery. Just a few
miles from here, flred hundreds of
rounds.
" Yes. but chorused the artillery
« ffioer*. "if we had been shooting «t
the bombers Instead of small canvas
targets, the results would have been
far different."
"That's so much bosh " retorted the
nlr men. "If you had shot at us all
i afternoon you'd never have hit u«
The personnel of the air field here
was extremely jubilant today. It felt
I that It not only had squelched the
I anti aircraft gunner*, but naval critic*
' as well.
During the demonstrations, pursuit
I plane* and bombers “blew up" a tar*
! get battleship on the ground, scoring
! almost perfect hit* with each bomb,
heavy and light.
•‘Yea. Hut—M
"Ye*, blit- said the naval of
fl.er*. ' vour planes would never have
gotten so close to us if It had been a
teal battleship, out own aircraft and
machine gun* would have kept you
away."
Again the nlr service chorused:
"Bun k!"
"An airplane can blow out of water
my battleship ever built," repeated
Mitchell, who flew around In his own
plane directing the tests.
To the civilian observers It seemed
that the only way the three cornered
t i»v% can be settled Is to have another
war. The tests did net silence the
talk and claims In the officers1 club*.

That was the moy Important result of
I the British stateman's visit here, a*

This was more than expected in

all doubts on the Itonzig question at
rest and indicating plainly that a *e

agreement of all the allies, including
Poland.
flermany'* admission to the league

Asked specifically if there were anv
prospects of finding a scheme accept
able at the same time to Hermany

there was no inherent reason which
would make such a result impossible.
It was generally accepted, however,
that 1h**re would be considerable pre

Four armed bandits hold

ty-fourth street, of between
?o,000 and SI0.000 Saturday
night at 7 :30, terrorizing em
ployes and bank patrons with
a volley of shots.
Torn Baughman, bank officer, was
*hot in the wrist, when he opened
fir* on the gunmen from a balcony
on which he was concealed with a
shotgun.
At th* time of the robbery the
South Omaha business district was
filled with hundreds of shoppers.
Failing in an attempt to force W.
A. Ratsack, president of the bank, to
open the vault, the bandit quartet
scooped up money which was in the
teller's cage and escaped through **
rear door, jumping into a car waiting
with a running motor in the alley.

Mr. Buckingham was a man of
strong character. high Ideals and
powerful civic force, a true friend
and a man of vision with a practical
mind to carry his plana into effect.
He was a valuable asset to the
community in which he lived. His
was * busy life—thinking, planning
and huilding for the future, and his
success is best illustrated by the
upbuilding of the Omaha yards and
the growth of ihe Omaha livestock
market. His improvements were,
emblematic of his character and
friendship, strong, iiibstantlal and
enduring, and.
Whereas. Mr. Buckingham has
been a member of the Omaha Live

spirited eitiaen# and the livestock
