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

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.

Baron de Orgler Appears
All That a Duke Should Be
Arrives in Omaha to Exhibit War Films; Answers
Stereotyped Conception Even to Monocle ' and
Cane; Ideal is Not Heiress But Blonde American
Girl.
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."

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.
