' Male and female cabaret talent was

Speech making was more or less ta
booed, althoi'Rh one formal speech was
scheduled. But the grain men had llst
enfd .to upoches and shop-talks all day.
They were ready for something lighter
something to wash the mind clear of
shop-bUHtnebs and leave Jt in a mood re
ceptive of the things to come at the
business session this morning. '
Ptekell Talks Grain Men.
The only formal speech of the even
ing was that of J. Ralph Plckell of CnW
cago. editor of Prloe Current Qmin Re
porter. He chose for his subject, "Truth:
A Tribute and Some Other Things."
Then he soared Into the rubject and made
it lively enough to satisfy even those
who had come principally to enjoy the
cabaret. t
An automobile trip starting at the Fon
tenelle Just after the cU-se of the after
noon session, took tha grain men all
over the city.
The Omaha grain men, besides giving
the visitors a banquet, were anxious that
they , look over the elty and get soma
Idea of its Industries and its general
aoope. They took them to the moat in
teresting points in the city, where they
saw parks, now just turning greon, saw
large aubstsntlal buildings in the busi

make room for skyscrapers: saw .other
business blocks already in process of con

what such laws ought to be, when pa sued
by a stkte legislature. Attorney Edward
P. Smith of Omaha, told tne grain men
that although banks are allow J to ac
cept deposits of money without giving
bond direct to the depositor, no grain or
elevator man should be allowed to aooept
grain for storage without giving a bond
to protect the farmer. He asserted that
there are now six bankruptcy cases in
Nebraska courts, as the result of grain
men selling stored grain on a rising mar
ket and then being unable to deliver to
the farmer on demand. Continuing said
Mr. Smith:
"Publlo warhoune Uws, to e satis

bruska. ratber than compulsory; storage
charges should be fixed, rather than

WASHINGTON. April IS. While
disinclined to credit reports that
Japan had established a naval base
at Turtle Bay, Lower California,
United States officials today instl-
i tuted an investigation to learn ex
actly what use the belligerent war
ships were making of Mexican terri
torial waters.
! Secretary Daniels telegraphed Rear
Admiral Howard of the Pacifio fleet
the substance of the published stories
mid asked him to ascertain whether
there was any foundation for them.
' Secretary Bryan bad received no In
formation from the American consuls
In Lower California to the effect that
the aJapancse intend to establish a
naval base there, but It is understood
he Mill communicate the press re
ports to them, with a request for any
facts that may bear on the subject.

Enrique C. Llorente, Washington repre
sentative of General Villa, telegraphed
Kstcvan Cantu, military governor of
Lower California, which Is controlled by
the Villa faction, to make an Investiga
tion of the' situation.
Comma,nder Nomura, naval attache ot
the Japanese embassy, called Informally
en Kevy department officials today and
assured them that there was no truth In
the reports that any attempt was being
made to aetanllsh a permanent naval base.
He Is understood to have explained tbat
the presence ot the Japanese warships
was due entirely to tha accident to tha
cruiser Asama, whloh ran aground there
recently. ' . '
There was Informal 4tscaston of the
Turtle Bay situation at today's oablnet

Iters were assisting .the Japanese war
ships convinced high officials that there
could be no foundation for the Idea that
any movement was afoot to establish a
permanent base.
Should it develop that the British and
Japanese vessels were actually using
Mexican waters as a temporary bass of
supplies It is considered possible that tha
attention ot Mexican authorities may be
culled to it by the Washington govern

the attention of Great Britain and
