about 120 priests from Nebraska and
Iowa have gathered for the ceremony.
Although the great cathedral is not
completed it has been put in fit con
dition for the impression ceremony

been ' decorated with streamers of
red, white and blue cloth with quan
tities of palms. Seats have been pro

thrown open at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. There will be no reservved seats,

and archbishops will meet in the
priests' house, next to the pro-cathedral.
At a few minutes after 10
o'clock the priests will parade from

the procession passes the priests'
house, the bishops and archibshops
will join in, Archbishop Harty being

Glennon of St. Louis, Archbishop
Keane of Dubuque, Bishop Tihen of
Lincoln, Bishop McGovern of Chey
enne, Bishop Dowling of Des Moines,
Bishop Muldoon of Rockford, 111.,
Bishop Burke of St. Joseph, Bishop
Cunningham of Concordia, Kan., and
Bishop Garrigan of Sioux City,They
are being entertained at the Bishop's'
house, Thirty-sixth and Bart streets,
and by prominent members of the
church in the city
Popular in Manila.
Archbishop Harty is a man who
was beloved and held in the highest
affection and esteem by the people of
Manila, Philippine islands, where he
was archbishop for twelve yars.
This is shown by an account of the
popular demonstration in his honor
that marked his departure from Ma
nila. It is contained in the Manila
time9 of Sunday, November 12, and
is as follows:
" 'Your grace, on leaving these shores
you are not only taking with' you the
love and deep affection of the entire
Catholic community, but also the
good will, respect and affection of
every right thinking man and woman
of the city of Manila, whatever be
their religious belief.' These were
the parting words of Alcalde Roxas
at the farewell ceremonies which
marked the departure of Archbishop
Jeremiah J. Harty, who sailed yester
day afternoon on the Indo-China line
steamer Loongsang for Hongdong.
At Hangkong Monsignor Harty will
connect with the the Canadian Pacfic
railway liner Empress of Japan for
Vancouver, whence he will proceed
direct to Omaha, to take charge of
his new diocese.
"Eloquent testimony to the esteem
and affection in which the distin
guished prelate was held in the city
were the crowds of people which filled
pier five long before the announced
sailing hour. In addition to the mcm-

Tryst Early in Evening.
MURDERER HELD IN JAIL
When Dorothy Radcr, 25 years old,
came to the corner of Twenty-sixth
and Farnam streets last night at 7
p. m. to meet her presumed lover,
four bullets into her tody was the
greeting she got. 'She toppled to the

with killing the girl.
The dead girl had lived in Omaha
about a year, coming here from Kim
ball, Neb. The man who shot her is
F. V. Fuller of Lexington, Neb., a
butcher about 45 years of age. He
says he was once the husband of his
victim.
He followed her from Sixteenth and

PROHIBITION BILL
OVERJOLIDAYS
Parliamentary Misplay Upsets
Plans for Immediate Action
on Sbeppard Measure.
ASHURST POCKETS BILL
BULLETIN.
Washington, Dec. 20. A parlia
mentary misplay by one of its friends
late today upset plans for an imme
diate vote on Senator Sheppard's
District of Columbia prohibition bill
and advocates of the measure were
obliged to agree that it go over until
after the Christmas holidays for. final
action.
Washington, Dec. 20. The prohibi
tion bill to make the capital dry fell
into the toils of a filibuster late today
when Senator Ashurst, who favors
it, without intention of imperiling a
vote, got unanimous consent for con
sideration of a miscellaneous land
bill. The opponents of the prohibi
tion bill were quick to take advantage
of the opportunity to contend that it
had been displaced before the senate
and were supported by a ruling from
the chair.
Senator Ashurst . then saught..lo
withdraw the land bill, and did so
physically by stepping to the desk
and putting the document in his
pocket
Senator Reed of Missouri insisted
that such a method of withdrawing
bills was new in parliamentary pro
cedure. "If men are permitted to dispose of
legislation by physically applying
strong-arm methods and grabbing
bills out of the possession of the
senate," said Senator Reed, "legisla
tive business then will resolve itself
to grabbing and running. Under
those circumstances the man who
grabs the most and runs the fastest
would be the greatest statesman. If
we are proceeding under Marquis of
Qucensbury rules, it is time we knew
it. We may even descend to packing
house rules, which I understand per
mit using the thumps and even the
feline method of scratching with the
finger nails."
Senator Ashurst declared he was
not disturbed by Mr. Reed's attack.
"The senator from Missouri," he
said, "is incapable of carrying out
here or elscwhen any threat he
makes against me or against anyone
else. He is fond of a joke against
anyone else, but when it is on him
self he dances around like a rat on a
griddle tryir-.lo fct off."
He declared th- if Senator Reed
were fair about the prohibition bill
he would allow it to come to a vote.
"The saloon lost out in Arizona
and elsewhere," he continued, "by
such tactics as these. It committed
suicide whci. it spread th; slime f
politics like this on itself.
"It ill becomes the senator from
Missouri to use technical ideas and
motions against this bill."
As he concluded the Arizona sena
tor walked slowly down the aisle,
waving the bill over his head and re
stored it to the clerk's desk.
"The Indians of Oklahoma may suf
fer, but whisky will still reign in the
national capital," said he.
The debate which followd took on
the nature of a filbuster. Friends of
the prohibition bill fear it cannot be
passed unless it is voted on before
the Christmas holidays.
Can't Find Reason for Comatose
Condition; Unconscious 80 Hours
Roy Tanner, Twenty-first and
Davenport streets, has lain in a com
atose condition at the Wise Memorial
hospital since last Sunday morning,
a puzzle to Dr. B. 3. McDermott and
a number of other physicians who
have been called in to consultation
on the curious case. All efforts to
restore him to consciousness, or to
find any cause for his condition have
failed. The X-rays have been used,
but no blood clots or other known
cause for unconsciousness have been
found -nd no broken bones or inter
nal injuries.
Tanner sustained his iniury when
he and John Gatchell, 1814 Corby
street, were on their way to Millard
Sunday morning to 'iijcy a chicken
dinner. They went on a motorcycle
with a side car attachment.
Late in the morning Lee G. Lytle,
1611 Davcnpo-t street, on his ay to
' sixth street, a brakeman tor the Bur
lington railroad, was an eye-witness
of the shooting. He says:
"Fuller got on the car with me at
Sixteenth and Farnam streets. We
both got otf at Twenty-sixth and
Farnam. In alighting from the car
he stepped on my toes and I "lied
him down. All he did v- ilc.

word.
"I ran o .nere the girl had
fallen and lifted up her head.
I asked her to talk to me. She tried,
but she couldn't talk. I looked up
at the man who shot her and he w.s
smiling. Somebody ran from a store
and grabbed the murdered from be
hind and pinioned his arms. But Ful
ler clung to his gun, a 45 automatic,
until he was dragged into the grocery
store. There three men took it away
from him.
"'Lynch him!' somebody yelled us
the crowd surged around the front
door of the store. Fuller heard life
yelling and smiled again. Then the
cops came and took him to the
station."
SERGT. GONZALES
DIES OFPNEUMONIA
Son of Minister to Ouba Eighth
Victim of Disease at
Camp Bliss.
TENTS ARE OVERHEATED
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 20. Sergeant
Robert F. Gonzales of the machine
gun company, Second South Carolina
infantry, and a son of W. E. Gon
zales, United States minister to Cuba,
died at the base hospital, Fort Bliss,
at 11:45 o'clock last night of pneu
monia after an illness of four days.
Sergeant Gonzales was 28 years old
and came to the border with his regi
ment rom Columbia, S. C.
Minister Gonzales is now enroute
from Havana to El Paso, according
to the officers of the Second South
Carolina infantry. His mother is
also expected to reach here Saturday
from New York, accompanied by the
boy's uncle, Ambrose E. Gonzales.
A military funeral will be held.
Sergeant Gonzales' death was the
eighth from pneumonia to be report
ed here among the National Guard
and regular army during the last
eiarht davs. .i.
P Pneumonia is contracted when sob-
diejs permit their tents to become
overheated and then go out into the
cold night air to cool off, according
to Brigadier General George Bell, jr.,
commander of the border division

National Guard troops. General Bell
said today he had warned the sol
diers against this practice and in
structed officers to make nightly trips
through the camps to inspect the

Do Not Fear Epidemic.
Washington, Dec. 20. Army medi
cal officers on the border reported to
day there wa; no danger of the cases
of spinal meningitis among Georgia
and Pennsylvania troops becoming
epidemic. There have been three
deaths in a Georgia regiment, and two
cases, both now recovering, in a Penn
sylvania organization. No new cases
have developed in the last eight days.
Six Towns in the Bay
State Taken From Wet Side
Boston, Mass., Dec. 20. No license
advocates gained two new victories
in the four municipalities outside of
Boston holding elections yesterday.
North Adams changed from the wet
to the dry column for the first time
in twenty-nine years, and Fitchburg
turned last year's license majority of
72 to a no-license margin of 84. Pea
body and Quincy remained, in the dry
column.
With the last of the thirty-seven
city elections in the state now de
cided, the "dry" forces this year have
added six cities to their lists and have
not lost any.
Wholesalers Protest
Against Rate Raises
Pierre, S. D., Dec. 20. (Special
Telegram.) A good part of the rate
hearing today was taken up by repre
sentatives of the wholesale interests
making their protests as to increasing
rates and explanations of their view
of the freight situation in South Da
kota. Most of the representatives of
the jobbers have returned home, but
there are a number of propositions
raised by the roads which will yet be
given a hearing.
Oma'ia in an automobile, saw the
motorcycle wrecked on a bank and
the two men lying in the wreckage.
He got them into his car and
speeded to the hospital. Gatchell
was found to have two broken ribs
and is recovering,
But Tanner continues to baffle the
physicians. Dr. MtDcrmott stated
that last night, for the first time,
Tai.nc showed faint signs of return
ing consciousness. Still, no evidence
has been found of skull fracture,
blood clct, internal bleeding or any
other cause that could explain the
strange case.
He has been given liqui ! nourish
ment tltir nj the eighty h urs that he
has already been unconscious. What
the doctors will do for him depends
on dis:oviry of what is the cause of
his condition. And, of course, the
question of ''is ultimate recovery de
pends also on this.

BRITISH PAPERS
LIKE POSITION
OF LLOYD GEORGE
Nation is Prepared to Make All
Sacrifices Necessary to
Insure the Ends Be
ing Sought.
PEACE DOOR NOT CLOSED
Germany Must Act in Role of
Vanquished, Not in That
of Victor.
NO " HOSTILE CRITICISM
I London. Dec. 20. Nearlv all of
the morning papers agree that Lloyd
George expressed the views of the
British nation in his speech in the
House of Commons, dealing with
Germany's peace proposal.
"Lloyd George," says the Times,
"expressed the thoughts and wishes
of the nation and laid down a pro
gram which will command its hearty
support." This is the tone of the
comment in most of the other papers,
who hold that the premier's answer
and also Lord Curzon's speech in
the House of Lords are "moderate
in phrase, firm and unanswerable in
substance."
The papers say that the nation is
prepared and will willingly undertake
all the sacrifices foreshadowed and
will face greater privations if neces
sary to insure those ends of repara
tion and security which the allies de
mand from the central powers.
There is nowhere any hostile criti
cism of the government's declaration,
but the Daily News contends that the
forecast of the measures for organ
izing the nation do little more than
indicate that the policy of the late
government will be continued and ex
tended. It says that if the new gov
ernment succeeds as well as its prede
cessor the nation will be grateful and
that if it succeeds better the nation
will be more than grateful.
Door Not Bolted.
At the same time the newspaper
comments point out the possibility
of negotiations being undertaken, not
withstanding the strong statements of
the premier and Lord Curzon, arid
their endorsement by members of the
j late government. I hus the Daily
j News says that the "door is not nec-
essarily banged and bolted alio! that
I the allies' flat refusal of Chancellor
von Bcthmann-Hollwcg's offer is not
i meant to indicate that the allies dd
1 not wish peace, but that Germany
must ask it in the role ot vanquished
and not the victors."
."The News expresses the hope that
the allies will speedily agree on pre
cise term of which they will be will
ing to negotiate.
Even the Mail, which has always
demanded extreme measures against
Germany, says there is no obstacle
whatever to peace if Germany really
wants it. She has merely to with
draw from the occupied countries and
we are willing enough to discuss
reparation and guarantees for the
future."
The Manchester Guardian says:
"Loyd George has not shut the door
on peace with that resounding clang
for which some of his less balanced
supporters in the press have been
listening. It is true he insisted on
the impossibility of accepting the
German invitation as it stands. In
this he was ably seconded by Mr.
Asquith and will be approved by the
country.
"The German chancellor must be
both more modest and more explicit
before he can expect any favorable
answer to his invitation. But the
real danger in the situation which
his offer created was that the allies,
this country in particular, might he

fusal, not merely of the actual invita-

British and French naval authorities

SPECULATORS JUST
AS BAD AS HAIL FOR
COUNTRY'S WHEAT
Chamberlain of South Dakota
Talks to Members of Society
of Equity Union, Now in
Convention Here.
AGAINST BIO PROFITS
Blames Members of Organisa
tion for Permitting Manipu
lation to Be Carried on,
DO TOO MUCH SCOLDING
Speculation, or the making of un
reasonable profits from wheat crops
is as bad as a hailstorm which de
stroys one-third of the crop. This
was the substance of an illustration
given the 400 delegates to the sixth
annual convention of the National
Society of Equity-Union last night
by A. IC. Chamberlain, service com
missioner of the Dakota Farmer,
Aberdeen, S. D.
Mr. Chamberlain repeated what he
had said to a lot of business men and
bankers in Minneapolis, that if a hail
storm should strike the wheat fields
and destroy one-third of the crop, the
bankers would review their loans in
the affected district and seek to re
duce them and wholesalers would cur
tail their credits in the stricken dis
trict. Same Result Reached, '.
. ."But, he continued, in apostrophe to
the bankers and business men, "the
hail did not come, but you sat idly
by and let exactly the same result be
reached by manipulation, or, to be
kind about it, speculation by a few
people in the product of the farms
which make your business if you have
any. And you did it, not out of malice,
but thoughtlessness. You did not ap
preciate the fate that from the time
the threshing machine began to hum
until in the month of January, hail in
the form of speculation, or unreason
able profits made by a few, was taking
from every wagonful of wheat headed
for Minneapolis more than one-third
of its value.
"The trouble with a great deal of
our work to promote better market
ing facilities is, as f view it, that we
scold too much. We have not gone at
it from a business standpoint. Instead
of going to the business world and
showing business men that we are not
working against them; that our slogan
of better marketing facilities means
more money to be spent in legitimate
busienss by the many; instead of vast
sums to be hoarded by the few; that
our work is purely constructive; that
we arc not trying to destroy a man
because he has done that which
human nature dictates in practically

ish and French censors, who appar
ently exchanged seized mails, reading'
the letters to gain a clear insight into
trade relations of citizens of the
United States and South American
countries with Germany. Thus is
made possible establishemnt of the
blacklist and other measures.
"The German Transportation Ga
zette states that these seizures are in
contravention not only of the Inter
national Postal union treaty, which
is valid in war times, but also of the
convention concluded at the second
conference at The Hague, under
which mail bags, private as well as
official, are inviolable, whether from
neutrals or belligerents and whether
found on board neutral or belligerent
ships. If such mails arc confiscated
the convention provides they must
be forwarded without delay."
WILSON URGES
NATIONS AT WAR
DISCUSS PEACE
President, in Note to Belliger
ents, Suggests Occasion Be
Sought to Call Out Avowal
of Their Views.
IS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE
Disclaims Any Intention of
Action as Peace Maker or
Mediator.
U. S. VITALLY INTERESTED
Washington, Dec. 20. President
Wilson has appealed to all the bel
ligerents to discuss terms of peace.
Without actually proposing peace
or offering mediation, the president .
has sent formal notes to the govern
ments of all the warring nations, sug
gesting that "an early occasion be
sought to call out from the nations
now at war such an avowal of their
respective views as to the terms upon
which the war might be concluded
and the arrangements which would be
deemed satisfactory as, a guaranty
against its renewal or the kindling of
any similar conflict in the future, as
would make it possible frankly to
compare them."
Wholly Without Notice.
Wholly without notice and entirely
contrary to what administration offi
cials have described as his course, the
president last night dispatched the .
notes to all the belligerents, and to all :
the neutrals for their information.
Summarized in the president's own
words, as contained in the notes, his
attitude is as follows:
"The president is not proposing .
neare! he is nnt vetl nffrrino media
tion. He is merely proposing that
I soundings be taken in order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with
the belligerents, how near the haven
of peace may be."
Instruction by Lansing,
The notes to the belligerents are
prefaced with this instruction by Sec-
retary Lansing to the American am
bassadors presenting them:
"The president directs me to send
you the following communication to
be presented immediately to the min-
j ister of fbreign affairs of the govern,
ment to which. you are accerdited."
Thf trvt nf th lint lliamcalirai
then begin identically as follows:
"The president of the United States
has instructed me to suggest to the
(here is inserted a designation of the
government addressed) a course of
action with regard to the present war
which he hopes that the government
will take under consideration as sug
gested in the most friendly spirit and
as coming not only from a friend but
also as coining from the representa
tive of a neutral nation whose inter
ests have been most seriously affected
by the war and whose concern for
its early conclusion arises, out of a
manifest necessity to determine how
best to safeguard those interests if
the war is to continue."
The Texts Vary.
At this point the texts vary. In
the notes to the central powers this
paragraph follows next:
"The suggestion which I am in
structed to make the president has I
long had it in mind to offer. He is
somewhat embarrassed to offer it at
this particular time because it may
now seem to have been prompted bv
a desire to play in part in connection
with the recent overtures of the cen
tral powers. It has in fact been in
no way suggested by them in its
origin and the president would have
delayed offering it until those over-'
tures had been independently an
swered but for the fact that it also
concerns the question of peace and
may best be considered in connection
with other proposals which have the
simc end in view. The president can
only beg that his suggestion be con
sidered on its merits, and as if it had
been made in other circumstances."
Word to Allies.
In the note to the entente allies
the following paragraph takes the
place of the one just quoted:
"The suggestion which I am in
structed to make the president has
long had it in mind to offer. He is
somewhat embarrassed to offer it at
this particular time because it may
now seem to have been prompted by
the recent ovvertures of the central
powers. It is in fact in no way asso
sociated with them in its origin and
the president would have delayed of-
