THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1919. COUNTY AGENT BILL OPENS HOT DEBATE!, HOUSE IVfeasure Providing for Selec tion of Demonstrators by Special Election Referred Back to Committee. By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Jan. 31. Representative Fries of Howard today spoke in favor of hist bill. House Roll No. 99, providing for the election of farm agents or demonstrators. His bill provides that a petition consisting of 10 per cent of the elec tors of a county, distributed among two-thirds of the precincts, must be presented 60 days before calling a special election at which the matter of the flection of a farm demon strator or agent be put to a vote of the people. He said considerable opposition Uas developed to the present law because farmers felt something v.-as being forced on them they did not want. He said that he favored farm demonstrators or agents, but that th -j matter of their choice should be left to the people in the interest of democratic government. Moves for Postponement. Dalny-of Gage moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed, for it was a clever camouflage of a move ment to kill entirely the opportunity of having farm demonstrators or county agents at all. He said there never was a meritorious thing but would find opposition, and a bill of till rh ;i rnrtnr nrnnncrl r PVIaie was miprogressive, unrepublican and destructive. He said Gage county had developed from a poor Krain farming region to the greatest dairy and stock farming county in the central west through the organ ized effort of a farm demonstrator and was now the leading section for Start today to buy War Savings Stamps hear the "Victro! a" i, i&MQt'7yfr Si iF Sill! ijil 4 m v May Make Blanket Appropriation for State Institutions From a Staff Correspondent Lincoln, Jan. 31. The finance. ways and means committee of the house has practically agreed upon a blanket appropriation for the state board of control, in charge of the 15 Nebraska state institu tions, to cover the next biennium. The board is especially desirous of having a blanket appropriation so that it may use the funds for any institution which may be in need of additional money at any time. Each institution would be appor tioned a certain amount, however, as under the present system and and at the end of the biennium would not be expected to run over that amount. Members of the committee point ed out to the house committee that unded the present system a particular institution may have to. allow its bills to run for some weeks because it happens to have no funds to its credit at that par ticular time.. As a result it is necessary to issue warrants, draw ing 7 per cent interest and the state annually loses several hun dred dollars. the raising of Holsteiu cattle in the country from this cause. He con tended that the county had gained 100 times what it cost to have a farm demonstrator. Several farmer members of the house spoke in favor of the Fries bill, telling of local opposition due to the fact that inexperienced and incompetent farm demonstrators had been tried. A motion made bv Mears 'that the bill be referred back to the agricul tural committee for specific amend ment was carried. Hold Annual Election. North Tlatte, Neb., Jan. 31. (Spe cial Telegram.) The Lincoln county agricultural society reports an elec tion of officers as follows: President, Elmer Coates; vice president. F. C. Tielsticker, treasurer, John Fowler; secretary Richmond Burge.

Baron de Orgler, late by two hours, as is the privilege of titled visitors 111 America, arrived in Oma ha Friday afternoon, where he will exhibit war films and soeak in be helf of the Fifth Liberty loan, Ar- menian relief or any such organisa tion. In appearance, the baron, late of the diplomatic corns, as his card states, answers in full the stereo typed American, conception of "what a duke should be," from the tip of his patent boots, to the swing of his curved cane used forcibly for em phasis, and the monocle, never ab sent from a visiting baron. A man without a country he is at present, for, while hjs father was a Roumanian nobleman, his mother French and he himself a captain in the Austrian army for several years, he has worked, as his press book, which he carries with him, indicates, for the various Liberty loans, the Red Cross and such drives through out the United States. I After his arrest in Nevada on the suspicion of being a spy and being cleared by the Department of Jus tice, Baron de Orgler took out his first papers of citizenship. "I am an American at heart, now," he said, "but just as soon as the lim it of time permits, I shall be an American citizen." Press recommendations from, Harry Smith, adjutant general of Indianapolis recruiting station, from Attempts of Omaha Democrats to Block Appointment Denied By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Jan. 31. Attfirhpts of Omaha democrats to make it appear that the Nebraska senate is balking on the confirmation of A. E. Allyn of Hastings, nominated by Gov. S. R. McKelvie for a. place on the board of control, were denied by members of the upper branch today. Asserting that there was no oppo sition to the confirmation of Mr. Allyn, same of the senators said that the procedure followed in this case is the same as has always been adopted. Confirmation has always been made a special order of busi ness, and a committee appointed to make a report to the upper branch for the benefit of the other mem bers who may not happen to be personally acquainted with the ap pointee. lhe confirmation of the board of control appointment, which is one of the most important plums at the disposal of the new administration, has , been made a special order of business for next Thursday. The senate committee named to confer with Allyn includes Senator Johnson of Adams county, Allyn's home, as chairmen: Cooper of Douglas, Brad- street of Hall, Cronin of Holt and Harriss of Jefferson. Union Pacific Stops Action on Deductions of Class in Shipments From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Jan. 31. The Union Pa cific has dismissed its own action in the joint appeal with the Rock Is land and the M. & O. in the Ne braska -supreme court from the or der of the Nebraska Railway com mission stopping arbitrary deduc tions from claims for grain losses in transit. While this action may indicate a similar stand to be taken by the oth er roads, it is not interpreted to mean that the roads have given up their fight in favor of the deductions. It is considered possible that they are relying on the federal railway administration to look after their cause, since the interstate commerce commission approves of such deduc tions, wihch has always been oermis sible in interstate traffic. Dr. Newell Resigns. Lincoln, Jan. 31. (Special.) Dr. H. A. Newell, since last June assist ant superintendent of the Lincoln state, hospital for insane, has sent his resignation to the board of con trol. Dr. Newell gives as his reason for resigning that he expects to take up post graduate work. Petition to the Secretary of War to Send Soldiers Home With Six Months' Pay Sign this petition, get your friends to sign it and forward it to The Omaha Bee. To the Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War: The undersigned respectfully urge you to return to their homes as soon as possible the soldiers who have ac complished so brilliantly every obj'ect America had in the war. We urge, also, that you obtain the necessary authority to pay these men their military wage3 for six months, or for some sufficient period after their discharge from the army until they can obtain useful and remunerative em ployment. We urge this as an act of simple justice by a great na tiyi to its heroes. (Signed) . Oklahoma City, Kansas City and other cities where the baron exhibit ed his pictures, show his success in his work, which' has been under his own direction, but for patriotic purposes. The baron was present at an in terview with the kaiser in 1916 and his denunciation of the German sys tem, the kaiser and the crown prince are evidently as sincere as they are vehement. "America went into this war to save herself," he said; "whether she knew this or not I do not know, but the kaiser already had visions of 'my wonderful America,' which was to come by military occupation of Canada, Mexico and control of the seas." . Baron de Orgler, born in Austria. was wounded at Schabtz as captais of the Royal Austrian Dragoons, and since that time until his arrival in America has discarded his title. "But you see, they tell me that America, she is enthusiastic about titles and that my work will suc ceed by the baron on my name, therefore I use it." Several press notices give glimpses that Baron de Orgler is impressed favorably with American girls, but when accused of this he, with many gestures and shrugs, remarked that the girls were enthusiastic over his title and that his ideal was not an heiress but a blonde American girl. Baron de Orgler expects to be in Omaha for two weeks.
