tify in behalf of "Johnny" Lynch. She

and frequently had occasion to clean
the northeast room of the basement,
the room known in the Clark-Lynch
case as the "gym." Questioned by
Attorney Kennedy, she testified that
at no time did she observe liquor or
women in the northeast room, nor
had she observed evidence of liquor
or women. She said her visits to this
room usually were between 8 and 9
o'clock a. m.
John H. Glassman, formerly as
sistant superintendent of the court
house, also testified that on no oc
casion did he ee liquors or women

T. A. Carey and W. P. Dunham,

stantially the same as Mrs. Todd and
Glassman. Dunham addea tnat ne

time.
, Sheriff Clark rested his case against
"Johnny" Lynch Monday morning
after evidence was offered by W. L.
(Billy) Nesselhous, former manager
of the Budweiser saloon; A. H. Gil
bert, bartender at the Budweiser? and
bookkeeper for Riverside roadhouse,
and S. L. (Si) Colwell, former em
ploye at Riverside.
The defense began testimony this
afternoon.
Would "Fire" HaskelL
Mr. Nesselhous testified that Lynch
Juit his interest in the Riverside about
uly 1, 1916, when the county com
missioner is alleged to have opened
the Lakeside with John Ford and Pete
Loch. Nesselhous stated that Lynch
complained of Haskell's management
of the Riverside and wanted Haskell
fired, but Nesselhous declined to
do so.
so.
Cut Money Four Ways.
The former Budweiser proprietor
testified that he, Dennison, Lynch
and Haskell cut the Riverside money
four ways and that frequently paid
Lynch his share at the Budweiser sa
loon. He estimated the monthly
earnines from Riverside as $150 to
$200 each, while Mr. Gilbert thought
the profits were from ?1U0 to $juu
each for Dennison, Nesselhous, Lynch
and Haskell.
Nesselhous further testified that it
had been agreed that Lynch would
protect the Riverside and even
recommended that after May 1, 1916,
no liquor license was necessary. The
witness said the Riverside was "still"
where it was, and Attorney Baker
asked if it was "very still." Nessel
hous testified that Riverside was
closed when Sheriff Clark became
sheriff and stated that the rental value
of the property today is relatively
nothing.
Slot Machine Winnings.
S. ,L. (Si) Colwell, former employe
at Riverside was unusually frank in
divulging inside information concern
ing slot machines at this roadhouse.
He declared that the machines were
plugged to win more than ordinary
slot machines and that the arrange
ments of plugs varied from day to
day. Slot machine receipts, he
averred, were as high as $100 a night.
Gilbert testified that Lynch received
his Riverside "pay envelopes" in the
Budweiser saloon and he (Gilbert)
frequently witnessed these payments
or made the payments himself, and
he corroborated the evidence of oth
ers that Lynch received one-fourth as
his "end" of the Riverside split.
Sheriff Sole Plaintiff.
Attorney Howell injected a little
byplay into the morning's proceed
ings by clearing the atmosphere of
an imputation, as he regarded it, that
this ouster suit against Lynch might
be" associated with Dennison to an
extent - which would prejudice the
jury. He wanted it clearly understood
that this suit is . beintr prosecuted
and tried in the name of Sheriff Clark
as .plaintiff. - ;
Judge Sears told the jury that noth
i vt irauius lun
hearing should be construed as mean-
ing that Dennison is a party to this
J ouster suit; that tlcT suit was ail ac
ing that has been said within their
tion of Clark against Lynch, as named
in the pctitioji filed by the sheriff.

1914 when Lynch came to me and
said he had a pretty good spot and
said we ought to get it. He suggested
getting somebody to run the place,
so we decided on Jack Haskell. A
man named Elliott and a woman
named Page had the place at that
time. Lynch told me the place had
been 'jammed.' I went out and looked
over the place.
"After you went out there and saw
Hiose people, what arrangements were
made to get the place?

Gilbert Testifies.

sioners advising that Clark's bills

German Socialists
Are Not in Sympathy
With the Bolsheviki
Stockholm, Feb. 18. The German
majority socialists are disassociated
from any connection or sympathy
with the Bolsheviki, says an article
in the socialist organ, Vorwaerts, of
Berlin, by Otto Braun.
He charges that the Russian del
egates at Brest-Litovsk did not in
tend to utilize the truce to arrange
peace, but rather to extend the
revolution to the territory of the
central powers.
The hope of the Bolsheviki for a
speedy revolution in Germany is an,
insarft delusion," Herr Braun said.
The article is the more signifi
cant in view of the fact that pre
viously the Vorwaerts had shown a
disposition to coquette with the
Bolsheviki.
MORE PINTO BEANS
IS ALLEN'S PLAN
County Food Administrator
Wants Sandhill Farmers to
Raise 900 Pounds of
Beans Per Acre.
Will the Nebraska sandhills raise
900 pounds of pinto beans per acre?
That is a question the food admin
istration would like to have some
s.a.ndhiU
farmer answer. Oscar
Allen, county food administrator of
Douglas county, who has just returned
from Denver where he and A. M.
Jefferey of Omaha represented the
Nebraska food administration at a
big meeting on the pinto bean in
dustry, believes the Nebraska sand
hills are capable of producing great
quantities of these beans.
"One grower in Colorado told mc
that his sandhills produced. 700 to
900 pounds of pinto beans per acre
the first year he broke up the
grouna, said Mr. Alien. mat is a
wonderful yield, and so far as I can
learn there is not much difference
between the soil condition in this
Colorado sand region and the Ne
braska sandhill section. Some of the
growers in Colorado claim now to be
raising 1,500 pounds per acre of these
beans. There is a world of those
beans in Colorado now."
Uncle Sam Buys.
At this meeting which was at
tended by representatives of the
federal food administration, the
government contracted for 5,000.000
pounds of these beans at once. The
government then and there orderd all
the pinto bean growers of that
section of Colorado to deliver for
government use, 75 per cent of their
1917 crop which they are holding.
"We found that the small grain
elevators in western Nebraska are
equipped to clean beans, and this, it
seems, is very important if a com
munity is going to produce beans to
any extent.
Palatial Home is Being
Erected For President of Cuba
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Havana, Cuba, Oct. 20. The pala
cio presidencial, now the official resi
dence of President Menocal, which
was completed in 1792, is soon to be
abandoned and a more beautiful and
spacious structure, now in course of
erection at a more central point, is to
take its place.
In 1910 congress ceded to the pro
vincial council of Havana a tract of
land wliich faces the entrance to Ha
vana harbor and Morro castle, on
which was to be erected a provincial
palace. The work of erection began
in 1911, but was discontinued after
more than $521,000 had been expended
on the building. President Menocal
has given his support to the plan of
taking over the structure for use as
the national capitol by making a few
changes, modeling it into a palacio
presidencial.
When completed the new palace,
the final cost of which will be more
than $.1,000,000, will be an architec
tural jewel. Its great dome, formed
of a steel framework, will be covered
with squares of terra cotta. With the
conversion of this edifice into a presi
dential palace the physiognomy of the
surrounding district will be com
pletely changed in order that its
beauty may not be marred by un
sightly buildings or undesirable busi
ness places.
National Cloth is to Be
Sold to Poor of France
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Paris, Oct. 20. Two and a half
million yards of "national cloth" are
to be woven without profit by the
leading woolen mills of France and
sold exclusively to families receiving
assistance of some sort from the state.
Three different kinds of cloth will be
made in the proportions of 8 per cent
for men's clothing, 26 per cent for
woman's cloaks and 6f
children's garments. The woof will
be ot wool and the warp of cotton.
A proposition for the weaving of a
uniform "national cloth" for all
classes of consumers wa nhnAn.A
as being unnecessary and because the
weavers demanded the opportunity to
sell part of their product at a normal
profit, since a considerable part of
their output will be supplied at no
profit at all. Clothing will according
ly be higher for thos whn . ...
and cheaper for whom the state pays.
