a a WIN REPORTS UNUSUAL WHEAT IN 19 COUNTIES Publicity Director in 1,700 Mile Autb Tour in Nebraska Finds Crops in Good Condition. (From a SUff Correspondent.) Lincoln, May 25. (Special.) Re turning from a tour-of 1,700 miles by rail and auto, covering nineteen coun ties in central and wasternand north- ' western Nebraska, Will Maupin, di rector of the Department of Publicity, reports that he has been rained on in each one of the nineteen counties, With the exception of a small sec tion, comparatively, in the central eastern division, the wheat crop is looking unusually fine. And the rains of the last few days will be of in calculable benefit to the section that has been suffering. , "The 'Sandhill' region of Nebraska is coming into its own," said the di rector. "The sand hills have been soaked time and again this spring, and as a result the pastures are in .fine con dition. Alfalfa never looked better, and it is easy to see a constantly in creasing acreage each year. Fine Wheat. "I have seen no finer wheat than the immense fields I saw in Box Butte county Wednesday in a couple of auto drives that permitted me to see practically all of the wonderful table in that county. I was with the dele gates to the associated commercial clubs convention at Alliance when they drove to Antioch to see the great potash plants there. It was a revelation to most of them. Inci dently Antioch now has a population of 3,000 which is an increase of about 2,875 in less than three years. "From personal observation and from conversation with a great many wheat growers and other, I am led to believe that the government wheat estimates for Nebraska are much too low. "A most pleasing fact is the aooar- ent increase in the number of cattle in the great grazing sections and the noticeable improvement in the breeds "It was raining at Alliance at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, raining mere wnen my train lett at midnight, and raining when I reached Lincoln And there were evidences of rain all along the road. We used to speak of 'million dollar' rains in Nebraska. but millions are small thinzs thes days. Nebraska is enjoying half-bil- non aonar rains this week. 12 PROFESSORS TO STAND TRIAL, REGENTS DECIDE Disloyalty Charges Against State University Faculty Members Come Up for Hearing Tuesday. - (From a Staff Correipondent.) , Lincoln, Neb., May 25. The Uni versity board of regents this after noon decided on a formal hearing of charges against members of the fac ulty by the Nebraska State Council of Defense, starting next Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, at the chan cellor's office. , Each of the 12 professors accused of passive sympathies in the war will be given, a chance to appear and de fend himself. The board will send out copies of the charges and the names of the council's witnesses, to each of the ac cused. Until after the hearing, at least, the names of the accused professors will not be made public. The resents decided to invite mem bers of the State Council of Defense to attend the hearing, but it is under stood that the public will not be ad mitted. Names Are Withheld. Dr. P. L.'Hall of Lincoln, suggest ed the names of the accused should be made public at this time, but after Regent Landish had called attention to the fact that earlier in the day the council had sought to withdraw its charges against one professor, A. J. Schrab, it was decided that this should not be done. Chairman Brown, of the reeents. called attention to the fact that the council complaint was defective in that, signatures of all the members had been typed instead of penned. He urged a speedy action but said that the professors should be given an opportunity to defend themselves. Telegrams From Averv. Two telegrams from Chancellor Avery, engaged in war work at Wash ington were, read. One expressed willingness to appear before the regents as a witness, while the other expressed the belief that prompt vin dication or dismissal was the only course left to pursue. Action by the Alumni association meeting in class reunions and as an organization here today as a part of the commencement festivities threat ened to come to a head at the busi ness session here tonight. A resolution of the alleged dis loyalty in the university faculty with the alumni assisting. C. A. Sorenson opened the dis cussion with remarks that yellow paint was being indiscriminately thrown at the university. His remarks were con strued as requesting a white wash for the faculty from the council charges, but were not incorporated in motion or resolution.
