A telegram from the Associated Press
correspondent at-the rebef'tront received

effect that he will take Torreon tomor

of this was as deadly as bullets, for many
wounded died of thirst

revolutions that, tho flag of the Red Cross

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Murch 27. (Special.)-ln a
statement to the rrcss signed by himself,
' Governor Morehcad today Hnnouncocthat
i the statement made nt the last election
that one term wus enough for any man
for governor -will stand. In addition to
this ho announces that he will file for tho
democratic nomination for congress and
this means grief for Johnny Magulre. tho
man who has thrice battled for tho crown
and thrice won it hands down. It will
now bo up to tho democrats of the First
district to chose between the two an.l
whoever wins will have a fight on his
hands.
The statement of the governor Is as
lollows.
To the Democrats of Nebraska:
A sufficient demand by letter as well
as In person, convinces mo that 1 should
reiterate my declaration In the campalitn
that I believe In a six-year term for presi
dent, a four-year term for governor, and
that I would not bo a candidate for re
election. At present we have no restriction In
regard to these positions and there might
be occasions when a man should change
bis views, but under our present plan of
n man drafting hlmslf, in place of the
people drafting him for public service, I
desire to be sure that I am not placing
teo high an estimation on my servlcea
and Importance in being able to serve tho
people in a way that Is gratifying as
well as profitable to them. I will do. as
I have tried to do tn the past, not place
too high an estimation on my own worth.
I believe, and have always believed that
a man should be subject to tho call of the
people to a public duty, but should not bo
too hosty In deciding that the people are
anxious for his services.
It Is my intention, however, to glvo the
people who have known mo best, a
chance at tho primaries to support me for
congress from the First congressional dis
trict and if nominated I will endeavor
to be elected. I have had experience as
an agriculturist, merchant, banker, as
well as holding the offices of county
treasurer, mayor of my town, state sen
ator, president of the senate and gov
ernor. On investigation, I know that my
public services have never been selfish as
it nas not Deen nnanciauy prouuiuic,
and I can only expect to receive the com
mendation of the peoplo I serve aa re
ward for my services, and if I am not
selected. I will return to my private work,
where I have nlways made it profitable
when looking after my private affairs.
It I possess any qualifications to serve
the people, I believe it is along the leg
islative lines. I know one man In 400
would not be able to accomplish as much
as he might contemplate, but I have
certain things which I believe are of im
portance that I would use all mi time In
trying to bring about. Favoritism has
been expensive to the people of this
country, and the expenditure of our pub
lic money, in the nation as well as In
jthe stato is the most Important matter
. before tho people of our country at the
i present time,
I y-Tht8OToinm"naTnnfr this statement
is to' assure my friends that I am inter
ested In the state of Nebraska. Even
though looking after my private affairs
at the expiration of my term of office,
I I shall take an interna In mir ni.kllr. r-

Model Employes
Liability Law in
Panama Order
WASHINGTON, March 27.-What is re
garded as a model employers' liability
law is embodied in an exectlve order
made public today providing for the ad
justment of claims arising out of per
sonal Injuries to employes on the Panama
canal and the Panama railroad. Tho
order is the result of more than a year's
study of the subject by Secretary Gar
rison. Major P. C. Boggs, chief of the
canal commission offices, and the law
officers of tho War department and Is
based upon a similar order issued by
President Taft March 3, 1913. For lack of
funds it was found necessary to withdraw
the original order, which was also re
garded as defective in practical features.
The new order, while framed with spe
cial reference to the conditions in the
Canal aone, is regarded as sufficiently
comprehensive to serve as a pattern for
legislative action in the various .states.
Under the now order no benefits are
to bo paid to an employe or his repre
sentatives if his injury or his death is
the result of his own Intention or his in
tentioti to Injure some other employe, nor
it it is brought about by his own in
toxication. Tho total amount of com
pensation In case of death resulting in
one year from the date of Inquiry may
not exceed 15,000. A widow may receive
25 per cent of the wage of her former
hllnhanrt fnm . l . . . . .
I u a. tcuu 01 eigm years, and
If the has two dependent children there

por cent of the monthly pay for tho first
J throe months and 0 per cent thereafter
jfor a period of eight years. For tem
porary disability the compensation la 75
per cent for three months and M per cent

LINCOLN, Neb.. March 27. (Special.)
Shippers and JJobbers had an inning dur
ing the fourth day of the railroad rate
hearing before the State Railway com
mission. According to Mr. Kelsey ot Norfolk
that town wantod a chance to get some
of tho wholesale trade and wanted to get
on an equal footing with Omaha and
Lincoln. He was willing to let the com
mission figure It out.
W. K. Coleman of Superior thought his
town could secure tho right port of rates.
Heprcsented an array of figures to show
that other cities had a 10 per cent advan
tage over Superior, but Chairman Clarke
denied this.
W. H. Whltten, secretary ot the Lincoln
Commercial club, closed the showing
made by the shippers. Mr. Whltten said
Lincoln was. opposed o tlje commission's
plan because the rigid distance rates
would create a monopoly in a specified
territory.
"Lincoln wants no special favors," he
paid, "but is willing to meet competition,
1 the rates that have been In force for,
twenty-six years are satisfactory to us
and a change to the proposed schedule
will destroy our Jobbing and manufactur
ing interests." 1
April 13 has ben set for argument and

Babylonian Records
Throw New Light on
Bible Chronology
NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 87.
Inscriptidns on clay cylinders in the
Babylonian collection at Yale university
havo been deciphered, it was announced
today, and much information for students
of biblical chronology has been obtained.
One cylinder Inscribed for Nebuchad
nezzar, who reigned B. C. 605 to 561, re
counts his deeds with reference to the
restoration and enlargement of the walls
and moats of Babylon, and of temples
and sanctuaries thereabouts. He re
cords the rebuilding of Marchuk, recog
nized as tho ancient tower of Babel of
the book ot Genesis,
Nebuchadnezzar adds, according to the
translation: "I sought and found the
foundation stone of the temple of Lugal
Marada, my dlety, and laid It upon the
foundation stono of Naram-8ln. King,
my ancient ancestor." This ancestor pre
sumably lived 3,000 years before Nebuch
adnezzar. Narum-Sln was tho builder of
Babylon and perhaps the greatest builder
of all history-
The Nebuchadnezzar cylinder was found
near Nippur, on" the Euphrates. Another
cylinder found by Arabs at the samo site
bears an inscription of Naram-Sln and Is
probably one of the actual foundation
stones of the temple ot Lugal-Marada in
Murad, The inscription says that Naram
Sin subdued nine hostile armies in a
year and carried three of their king
bound before the God Enlll. The record
ends: "Whoever alters this inscribed
stone, may the godss Shamash and
Lugal-Marada, destroy his estate and ex
terminate his seed."
Bering River Coal
Unfit for the Navy
WASHINGTON, March J7.-Secretary
Daniels reported to congress today that
coal from the Bering river fields in Alaska
was unsuitable for use fay the navy.
Tests by the geological survey, by of
ficials at Annapolis and aboard the naval
cruiser Maryland, he said, all were un
favorable, except that the Alaskan coal
made less smoke. The report stated that
the Bering coal was incapable of generat
ing sufficient steam and could produce
only 60 per cent efficiency of power.
Dr. J. A. Holm, director ot the bureau
of mines, said In the report that Bering
coal could be mined only at great cost,
-was full of faults and was chiefly valua

British Generals Are
Deaf to Appeals of
King and Ministers
LONDON, March 27.-THeld Marshal S(r
J6hn French and Adjutant General Sir
John Kwart stood firmly to their resig
nations today, In spite ot the efforts ot
the king and ' the cabinet ministers to
Induce them to retain tholr posts as the
working heads of the British armjv
Aftef a long cabinet meeting Premier
Aaiiulth announced to the excited House
of Commons that neither the chief ot the
general staff nor the adjutant general
would give way.
He announced the issue ot a new army
order Intended to prescribe tho duties' of
the War office and officers on services
on contingencies, such as that of Ulcter.
The order forbids superiors asking offi
cers and soldiers what they will do In
hypothetical contingencies and Is de
signed to prevent a repetition of General
8ir Arthur Paget's action. It also pro
hibits officers and soldiers from asking
for assuranoes and sets forth tho duties
of the army almost in the words of the
statement which, when Colonel Seely
amendments had been added, became
the crux of the whole controversy.
The inclusion of soldiers with otflcers
in the terms of the order Is .the result of
the attitude taken by the labor members
in the debates and Is Intended ss a com
promise. The loader of the opposition declared
the new order to bo the result of a blun

File Final Brief
in Federal Court
CONCOnD, N. H March rr.The final
brief on behalf of Harry K. Thaw, on
his petition for a writ ot habeas corpus
and for admistlon to bail, pending a de
cision on the question ot extradition, was
flledjiln the United States district court
biffeounsel today.
Tho document lays stress on the claim
that tho statute, under which Thaw or
iginally was committed to the Insane
asylum at Mattoawan, N. V., is uncon
stitutional and therefore it was not a
crime for him to escape from custody;
that nn Insane person cannot commit a
crime and accordingly cannot be extra
dited on a charge of committing a crime:
that Thaw's sanity or insanity must be
decided before it can be determined that
there is Jurisdiction to extradite him,
and -that he Is not a fugitive from Justice
within the meaning of the federal con
stitution. As to ball, counsel maintains that a
defendant is entitled to it in a mis
demeanor cane. The brief concludes:
"Tho purpose of the state of New York
btlng to return Thaw to Matteawan, It
la making a mlrauie of tho extradition
laws to accomplish Its end. Thaw should

Tho bkllotiiiR was preceded by an hour
of Impassioned speech l oak In sr. Speaker
Clark, Representative Underwood, Heprc
ncutatlvo Fitzgerald and other demo
cratic leaders voted against the motion
to cut off debate. With the adoption of
the resolution to stop debate on tho rule,
the next question was on the adoption
of the rule Itself, and admlnlatrattou
supporters were sure of Its passage.
Plashed with Victory.
Flushed with victory, administration
supporters predicted passage ot the re
peal bill by a heavy majority. They de
clared many ot those who had voted
against the previous -question would be
willing to voto for the bill Itself.
Nows of tho voto was hurried to the
Whlto Mouse, where President Wilson
learned of it Just before leaving to at

With the first obstacle out of tho way
tho house settled down to consideration

In line for
more business
What retailer, large or small,
is tboro who would not gladly

What rotailer would not. en
largo tho number of satisfied
customora coming Into his
storo?
Thoro fa a way to do both,
This is an nge of specializa
tion In merchandising an age
of hotter things and known yal
uos. Manufacturers all over the
country aro concentrating
brains, capital, and efficiency
to make and distribute all
kinds of merchandise ot a much
higher quality and servico than
over before In history.
TIioho producors need a na-tlon-wldo
market for tholr pro
duct. They aro taking the sur
ost and quickest method to ac
quaint millions of people of tho
merits of tholr wares they aro
advertising direct to the con
sumer through the columns of
dally newspapers like Tho Bee.
The retailor who wishes to
be in line for more business
can take advantage of all such
advertising by carrying on hie;
shelve? and displaying In hi
windows these superior articles
that the people are demanding.
The opportunity is open to
every up-and-dolng retailer bi
every community that haa a
good newspaper.
