Out of Broken Bow's
Fight for School
BrtOKKN" HOW, Neb.. Nov. M.! Spe
cial.) Intense public .Interest Is being
tikeu In the civil suit of 11. M. Sullivan,
O. I Turner and others, who constitute
an executive committee of citizens
against James Lcdwlch, real estate agent
and mayor of Broken Uw. The case Is
the outcome of the efforts of the town
to secure the State Agricultural college,
which was located a few months ago at
Curtis. In making the showing to the
state locating board It was necessary to
secure a certain quarter section of land
aojoining the city owned by parties In
New Hampshire and represented here by
Mayor Idwlch.
The executive committee of Broken Bow
cltlxens found H necessary to purchase
this land In order to make the proer
showing, $1,000 being paid down and the
balance being due at the. time of transfer.
Iedwlch furnished a warranty deed and,
it is alleged, cashed the chock for JI.CM),
which was held In escrow at the bank,
JH.iO of this amount oemg his commission.
The contention was made by the citizens'
committee that the title was not a mer
chantable one and not such as the state
of Nebraska would accept. Up to the time
of the location of the school the parties
conveying the iund had failed to furnish
a good title. Mayor Lodwlch is assisted
In his case by W. II. Thompson of Orand

represented by Judge Homer M. Sullivan.
Judge C. L. Gutterson, Jmlgo A. H.
Humphrey. K. K. Squires, A. V. Johnson

poned. Judge HoBtetler at first refused
to entertain the motion, stating tho case
had twice been put over to accommodate
the defense, but later on affidavits were
tiled that made It Imperative to continue
tho case until the first day of the Janu
ary term. It la exnected that more In
terest will be taken In this case thun

n prominent clergyman in Dublin, Ireland,

H-year-old son in school In Ireland.
The woman's principal reason for leav

Sunday, worshipped at the Episcopal
Church tof the Ephlany, where the rector,
Rev. Dr. H. R. McKlm, preached In advo
cacy of the arbitration Jreaties now pend
ing between the United States and Great
Britain and France.
Dr. McKlm criticised the position taken
by the senate committee on foreign rela
tions, which has opposed the treaties on
the ground that they usurped the senate's
constitutional powers. He said that Inas
much as many senators have expressed
faith Iq the principles of the treaties that
It ought to be possible to obtain their
ratification.
With President Taft was Mrs. Taft and
Major Butt. Ambassador Bryce of Great
Britain and Mrs. Bryce were also among
those in the congregation.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 27. tSpeeial.l-Aeeord-Ing
to W. T. Thompson, former attorney
general of the state of Nebraska and at
present solicitor of the United States
Treasury department, the TnTt adminis
tration needs but the honest considera
tion of the thinking people of this country
to secure their approval. The acts of
this administration In the enforcement of
the laws against the big Interests have
been unparalleled In the history of the
country, Mr. Thompson declares.
"The position occupied by President
Taft in the minds of the publio of the
different sections of tho country Is
unique," Mr. Thompson said today. "In
the east, among those composing the so
called big Interests, nnd especially among
those connected with the trusts, which
have feared the power of the administra
tion In the vigorous enforcement of tho
anti-trust laws, the president Is regarded
as distinctively, and In fact altogether too
progressive; while In the west, among
the Insurgents, he seems to be regarded
as a standpatter. He Is, In fact, both, but
In the best sense In which (hose terms
are to bo understood. He Is a 'stand
patter' In that he stands pat on the propo
sition that the law must be enforced and
obeyed by the great as well as the small,
the rich as well as the poor; and he Is a
progressive In that lie believes In all
rational, practical and necessary prohibi
tory and remedial legislation, and also, In
tho vigorous and fearless enforcement of
existing laws.
enforcing Anti-Trust l.nirs.
"Never in the history of this country
has an administration In the same length
of time undertaken so much In the line of
federal law enforcement as has the Taft
administration In Its first three years.
Never before lias so much been begun
and consummated under prosecutions for
the enforcement of the anti-trust laws, as
during the Taft administration. Not only
has there been a most determined elfort
made to dissolve trusts, but their pro
moters have been Indicted and prosecuted
criminally.
"I mention a few of the suits begun and
terminated in the Taft administration:
United States Steel corporation, suit
begun.
Sugar trust, Indicted July 1, 1909; pend
ing. fa per board trust, defendants pleaded
guilty and fined $57,600.
Vi induw glass trust, defendants pleaded

each.
Federal Income tax. knojKn as the cor
poration tax, advocated and successfully
defended by the Taft administration, anil
approved by the supreme court of the
United States on March 13, 1911.
People Need Information.
"If our newspapers would advise the
people fairly and honestly as to the ac
complishments of the Taft administra
tion I believe the president would secure
the unanimous support of the delegates
from the western states to the republican
national convention.
"It Is a matter of prldo to the Ne
braskans In Washington to know the
advanced and progressive standing which
Senator Norrls Brown has attained In
the United States senate and with the
administration. He has the entire confl
dence of his colleagues in the senate ond
of the president and his cabinet.
"It Is also gratifying to know that
there Is a lively Interest being manifested
on the part of a goodly number of the
republicans of the state In the Interest of
the renomlnatlon and re-election of Presi
dent Taft."
