Forty-Six Years With the
Union Pacific, He Retires
Having reached the age of 70 and
after having been in the service of the
Union Pacific continuously since 1871,
John G. McBride, messenger to the
company law department, is retired
and will continue to reside in Omaha,
which has been his home practically
all the time during the last forty-eight
years.
For two years after entering the
employ of the Union Pacific he was
guard on the pay car and later was
brakeman on one of the passenger
trains. He went out on the first train
that the Union Pacific ran between
Omaha and Lincoln, doing triple duty
of baggageman, express messenger
and mail clerk. He held this position
four and one-half years. In 1879, as
agent at Lexington he took, up a
homestead that is now a part of the
townsite. After proving up, he sold
this land for $900. For a number of
years he was gateman at the Union
station, continuing until the comple
tion of the new headquarters building
as messenger to the law department.
Mr. McBride was born in Scotland
and came to the United States when
a young man. During 1867 and 1868
he shipped from Glasgow and sailed
around the world on the sailing vessel,
General O'Neill. The trip consumed
fifteen months and during the time
he was employed as steward.
Mr. and Mrs. McBride reside at 904
South Twenty-fifth street, this city.
Count Czernin Says
Central Powers Are
Ready for Peace
Amsterdam, March 31. (Via Lon
don.) A Vienna dispatch quotes
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, as saying in an in
terview with the Frcmdenbladt that
the entente could conclude an hon
orable peace with the central powers
at any time and that the proposal of
the central empires for a peace con
ference still held good.
"We are not going to be destroyed,
but neither do we wish to destroy,"
Count Czernin is quoted as declar
ing. "Our fronts are stronger than
ever. Our economic situation is se
cured. We must take our hats off
to the millions in the trenches and to
those at home on the battlefield of
labor. The day will come when the
peoples of the monarchy will receive
the rewards of their heroism,"
After stating that the proposals of
the central powers for a peace con
ference still held good, Count Czernin
added:
"We occupy extensive territories
of our enemies, and they occupy ex
tensive districts of ours. On the
seas the blockade of our enemies is
fighting against our submarine war.
All international treaties are being
torn up. It is impossible to settle
some of these questions apart from
the whole subjects. If the peace con
ference should show that an agree
ment was impossible, the fight, which
will not have been interrupted, will
continue."
Replying to the question as to
whether it was not posible to outline
the central empires' peace conditions,
Count Czernin said this had already
been done, adding:
"We have openly declared that we
are waging a war which has been
forced upon us, Our aim is to gain
the assurance of the free and undis
turbed development of the monarchy.
We nrust receive guarantees for our
existence and for our means of ex
istence. As soon as our enemies
abandon their unrealizable ideas of
smashing us up, as soon as they are
ready to negotiate for a peace hon
orable to them and to us, then noth
ing stands in the way of negotia
tions." Adams Farmers to Hear
Of Sugar Beet Culture
Hastings, Neb., March 31. (Spe
cial Telegram.) The meeting of
Adams county farmers called for this
afternoon to consider planting sugar
beets in fields where the winter wheat
crop has failed was postponed to
Monday t 2 o'clock when Superian
tendent Denman of the Grand Island
sugar factory will endeavor to inter
est the people of this county in the
project. Me Denman will also speak
at the Chamber of Commerce lunch
eon Monday.
Information secured by the Cham
ber shows that beets are bought at
the cars at shipping points at $6 per
ton and the factory pays the freight.
It is believed that the yield here
would be about ten tons per acre.
In the meantime some farmers be
lieve that the loss in the wheat crop
is not so great as reported and a few
are advising against plowing fields
for sometime, arguing that if rain
comes soon the fields that have the
appearance of being dead will yet
produce half to two-thirds of a crop,

Mayor and Police
Chief of Seattle
Are Given Liberty
Seattle, Wash, March 31. Mayor
Hiram C. Gill, Chief of Police Charles
L. Beckingham and City Detectives
Meyer M. Peyser, John Poolman,
James Doom and Daniel McLennan,
on trial charged with conspiracy to
violate federal laws by importation
of liquor into the state of Washing
ton, were acquitted today by a jury
in the United States district court.
The jury received the case at 5:30
last night.
Mayor Gill was accused of taking
$4,000 from Logan Billingsley for
dropping suits against the Billingsley
brothers, liquor sellers, returning in
criminating papers and promising im
munity to them.
Chief of Police Beckingham was
accused of taking bribes of $1,200
from Billingsley.
The detectives were accused of tak
ing money from the Billingsleys for
letting liquor shipments to the Bil
lingsleys enter the city while guard
ing the water front. The Billingsleys
were formally residents sof West Vir
ginia and Oklahoma. '
The trial was begun March 6. The
principal witnesses for the govern
ment were Logan and Fred Billings
ley and their former employes, con
fessed liquor sellers.
Nii.ety witnesses testified in the case,
including the six defendants. There
were seven defendants when the case
opened, but at the conclusion of the
presentation of evidence Judge Jere
miah Neterer instructed the jury to
acquit former Sheriff Robert T.
Hodge, one of the defendants, saying
the evidence against Hodge did not
show offenses against the laws.
Gill acquired considerable celebrity
by being recalled from the office of
mayor of Seattle in 1911 for alleged
toleration of vice and by being elected
mayor by enormous majorities in 19W
and 1916;
"Democracy Must
Ever Be Keady to
Protect Its Own"
Philadelphia, March 31. Senator
elect Hiram W. Johnson of California,
speaking at a patriotic demonstration
here today, declared that the United
States "will suffer much, even to the
very tension of honor," before going
to war, but that for the nation to
refuse to maintain its democratic
ideals and protect its citizens would
be to sow "within itself the seeds of
dissolution.
"Democracy to survive must ever
he ready to protect its own," he said.
"Every normally constituted man ab
hors war. A nation such as ours,
consecrated to freedom, dedicated to
equality among men', determined that
all of God's people must share in ,
God's blessings, that common folk '
may have their fair share of common
happiness and a comfortable place in
the sun, will suffer much, even to tha -very
tension of honor, bef jre engag
ing in blood strife. But nation,
such as ours, dependent for its per
petuity upon the character of its citi
zenship, that dares not maintain its
ideals and will not protect the lives
of its citizens, sows within itself the
seeds of dissolution.
"We would have no selfish war of
aggrandisement or aggression. We
have no lust of conquest. We would
only when imperatively compelled by
the transgression of our rights, by
the destruction of our lives, enter the
combat, and then in the spirit of
America, the spirit that took no in
demnity from China and returned
Cuba into its own people."

cial.) Mayor William Madgett today

ing of citizens next Thursday even
