COMMITTEE TO
LOOK INTO WAR
EXPENDITURES
Jefferis of Omaha to Be One
of Men to Investigate Camp
Locations and Govern
ment Purchases.
Washington, May 28. (Special
Telegram.) "A special committee of
15 -members of the house, 10 repub
licans and five democrats, will, in
all probability, be named to take
charge of the investigation of the
expenditures of the War department
during the past two years, said Rep
resentative Jefferis today.
"This committee will be divided
into a number of subcommittees, ac
cording to present ftlans, each
charged with a specific duty, as, for
instance, investigating air craft pro
duction, camps and cantonments,
arms and munitions and foreign ac
tivities of the department as they
relate to the establishment of camps,
etc., abroad.
i he present committee on ex
penditures in the War department
will be made the basis for the larger
committee, which will be empowered
to send for persons and papers and
to hold hearings in all sections of
the country.
"My understanding is that this
committee will be made' up of men
willing to work and as that is what
I came to congress to do, they can
not organize and get down to busi
ness any too soon to suit me, for I
am convinced there is a fertile field
for investigation growing out of ex
penditures of the War department in
connection with the world war."
Opposed to Free Seeds.
Nebraska members of- the house
are opposed to giving free seeds to
every Tom, Dick and Harry who
may want them, judging from the
votes today when the annual ap
propriation for free garden and veg
etable seeds was reached in the
agricultural bill. Re? vis, Jefferis,
Evans, McLaughlin and Andrews
voting against the appropriation.
Representative McLaughlin, a
member of the agricultural commit
tee, in speaking of the seed ques
tion, said he understood the seeds
were bought on the market at a re
duced price and when sent out pre
sumably as first-class seeds, they
failed to germinate.
"People in my district don't want
these seeds and for one, I am against
voting an appropriation for a very
doubtful benefit." he added.
Representative Jefferis said he
voted against the free seeds amend-,
ment because he saw a good chance
to save the government $358,000, ad
ding: "If the people were really being
benefited by this distribution, I
wouldn't say a word, but when they
get seeds that do not grow it's
a woeful waste of money and I
am against the proposition."
Jeff Says Repeal.
"Big Jeff's" old cronies of the
Omaha Field club, with whom he
has played golf in season and out,
have wired him to vote against' the
repeal of the daylight saving law,
but he is committed to its repeal,
having introduced a bill yesterday
to that effect, believing that the re
quest of the farmers for its repeal is
more potent than the prayers of his
golfing constituency for its contin
uance on the statute books.
German Cannon Coming.
Tuesday Representative Jefferis
introduced bills providing for the
donation of captured German can
non and field pieces to the follow
ing cities and towns in his district:
Omaha, Blair, Papillion, Elkhorn,
Waterloo, Valley, Bennington,
Suringfield, Gretna, Bellevue, Fort
Calhoun, Washington, Kennard,
Herman and Arlington.
W. E. Morgan former editor of
the York Republican, who has been
living in Washington for several
years with his son, Raymond, under

hospital. While not entirely out of
danger, the operation is looked upon
as being successful.
Frank Woods, Lincoln, was a

Sioux City Man Killed

ufacture of fertilizer at the Armour

Germans Willing to
Reduce Armament;
Reject Allies' Terms
(Continued From !'( One.)
that the terms of peace completely
ignore the fact that Germany has
replaced an "imperialistic and irre
sponsible government" by a strictly
democratic one and that Germany in
its proposals for a league of nations
has adhered to the principle of a
limitation of armaments.
"It would be difficult to see," one
section reads, "what different condi
tions could have been imposed upon
an imperialistic government. The
solemn assurances of France. Great
Britain and President Wilson that
the peace would be a peace of right
and not of violence, have not been
kept especially regarding territorial
questions."
Ask Impartial Settlement.
The proposal of the German peace
delegation to the entente and asso
ciated representatives regarding Ger
many's former colonies points out to
the peace conference that an abso
lutely impartial settlement of all co
lonial claims was promised in No.
5 of the 14 points mentioned in
President Wilson's message to con
gress January 8, 1918, and claims
that "an impartial settlement pre
supposes a hearing of both sides be
fore a decision is taken and such
hearing has not taken place."
"While appealing to the promise,
and especially to the principle, that
the regulation of colonial claims
should take place with due regard
equally to the interest of govern
ments and the governed," says the
German note, "the proposal is made
to refer colonial questions to a spe
cial committee. This committee, to
be formed of mandatories and ex
perts of both parties, shall take as
the subject of its deliberation the
aforementioned point five, and other
points mentioned in President Wil
son's note of November 5, 1918; the
article of the draft of the peace con
ditions relating to colonial questions
and section nine of the George
league of nations proposals, as well
as the interests of the populations
and the governments concerned."
The proposal argues that the de
mand that Germany renounce her
overseas possessions cannot be rec
onciled with the armistice terms
and holds the view that Germany's
claim to the restoration of her col
onies is just.
Germany, it says, "is ready, should
a league of nations be formed in
which she is immediately elected
with equal rights, to carry on the
administration of her colonies, in
accordance with the principles of
the league of nations, and in given
circumstances as its mandatory."
TWO DETECTIVES
DENY CHARGE OF
RECEIVING BRIBE
(Continued From rage One.)
of the man they declared they want
ed was left, but not a single detail
could be applied to Kennedy.
"They deliberately framed the
wrong description to throw the
Hastings police off the track. At
that I think the Hastings chief was
suspicious. While he did not ac
cuse the Omaha detectives, his man
ner indicated to me that he thought
there was something wrong.
Reported Man Gone.
"Murphy and Pszanowski returned
to Omaha and reported to Chief
Eberstein and Captain Briggs that
their man had Rotten away.
"While I was out in the state
helping Murphy and Pszanowski
look up stolen automobiles, Ken
nedy wrote a letter asking me to
deliver to him a super-six. He did
not know I was in jail. My moth
er got the letter during my ab
sence. When I returned to Omaha
I found that Chief Eberstein was in
possession of the letter. Kennedy
signed the name 'Keith' to the let
ter instead of using his own name.
The chief told me he wanted this
man Keith. He dictated a letter,
which I signed, and mailed to Keith,
offering to deliver a super-six. It
was Eberstein's plan to have the
detectives go with me and arrest the
man when I delivered the car.
"I did not want to jam Kennedy,
so I did not tell the chief that Keith
was not his name. I believe this
letter to Keith is still in the Hast
ings postoffiice.
Says Chief Dropped Case.
"Later Chief Eberstein became so
anxious to arrest Kennedy that I
told him what had happened in
Hastings when the detectives let the
man go for $110.
"Chief Eberrstein then dropped
the matter like a hot biscuit. I
never heard him refer to Kennedy
again.
Chief of Police E. A. St. Tohns of
Hastings, declared over the ohone
yesteraday morning that he remem
bered Koy Kennedy was wanted
last January for automobile thefts."
1 received word from the chief
of police at Grand Island that Ken
nedy was wanted in Omaha," he
said. Later I located the man in
North Platte. I notified the oolice
at Grand Island and understand the
department there in turn notified the
Omaha police. I never heard whether
or not Kennedy was arrested.
I am unable to recall that the
Omaha detectives called at my office
later."
Chief of Detective Dunn was
asked if he desired to make a state
ment, and replied that he thought
Pszanowski and Murphy should be
given an opportunity to explain.
Chief Dunn communicated with
the detectives and said they would
call later and offer their explana
tions. Detective Murphy has not
yet made a statement.
"I remember the occasion to
which McKenna referred," said
Pszanowski. "I did not see any
money change hands. I do not be
lieve Kennedy gave any one money.
We had the man in custody, but
released him in the belief that we
had arrested the wrong man. De
tective Murphy and I were in good
faith when we let the man go."
"Big Four" Hear Hymans.
Paris, May 28. The council of
four today heard the Luxemburg
commission and Paul Hymans, Bel
gian minister of foreign affairs. The
conference, presumably, was with re
gard to the relations of the grand
duchy and Belgium.
ALIENISTS GIVE
OPPOSING VIEWS
ON SANITY ISSUE
(Continued From Pa( One.)
Mrs. Van Ausdell at first denied that
she had gone with Police Officer
Plotts to her home, following her
arrest, to deliver to him the .re
volver with which the shooting was
done. But, after a cross-examination
by County Attorney Shotwell,
she admitted that she gave the .re
volver to the officer.
Yesterday was the third day of
the trial of Mrs. Van Audsell on the
charge of shooting with intent to
kill Mrs. Viva Ijams on the evening
of February 16, 1912, near Twenty
second and Leavenworth streets, be
cause Mrs. Ijams and Mr. Van Aus
dell had been intimate.
Regarding events of the day of
the shooting Mrs. Van Ausdell's
memory was extremely poor.
"I found myself on Twenty-sec-onl
street lying on the ground,
laughing," she said.
She said she didn't know she had
shot anyone until her husband called
her up and told her she had "shot a
woman and had better give, herself
up."
"And if you didn't know you had
shot anyone, why did you go to
the police station and submit to ar
rest?" asked Mr. Shotwell.
"Because my husband told me to,"
she replied.
Causes Dramatic Scene.
Once during her testimony, lasting
nearly two hours, there was a dra
matic scene.
"Van Ausdell told me about this
woman," said Mrs. Van Ausdell. "He
said she was cultured and refined and
he was going with her. He said he
wouldn't give me any money be
cause they needed it themselves, that
they were going south to Mexico,
he said, I think and he was going to
run a gambling place and she was
going to open a sporting house"
Mrs. Ijams, who had been sitting
stolidly in the court room, jumped
to her feet, her face became suf
fused with blood, but before he
could say a word, her sister jerked
her back into the chair and calmed
her.
Four letters which Mrs. Van Aus
dell found in a closet at her home,
1039 Park avenue while she was
cleaning house last fall, were intro
duced by the defense. They were
undated and were addressed to "Boy
Dear" and "Van Dear" and signed
"V."
Couldn't Please Her.
"Van, dear," said one, "I don't
know what to do. My husband has
gone into business here and he said
we could keep house or live at tne
hotel. 'I'll do anything to please
you,' he said. I told him he couldn't
please me. 'Anyway, I'll keep on
trying,' he said, 'because I think
more of you in one minute than of
anyone else in a lifetime.' "
The other three letters were in
part as follows:
"Boy dear: Dear, my very self,
every bit of me lives for you shall
we risk this answer at once. Your
letters I got today at office and so
glad to have it and to hear you are
being a good boy. Sorry because
matters are not more pleasant with
you but you continue to behave if
possible. Yours only V."
Chose Life On Isle.
"Van dear: I would like nothing
better than to come to yon this very
right. But I shall have to be a lit
tle cautious. I don't want to lose
my allowance if I can help it. Man
o' mine, I would rather be with you
on a desert isle than live without
you in a palace. I am so lonely
without you, it seems am age since
we said goodbye because I want
you so much. If I can't be yours I
won't belong to anyone else. This
is too much like hell I not only
want to be loved, but to love in re
turn. Yours only V."
"Dear: Yours of the 14th receiv
ed a few moments ago I really ex
pected an earlier reply and was won
dering what kept you from writing
I am quite upset about the move I
am about to make and waiting for
your answer didn't tend to improve
my condition much.

you would stick well, perhaps I felt
you would, but I wanted the assur
ance in so many words Just here 1
want to say to h with Pally and
Nina You behave. They don't con
cern us in least not in any way.
Now. about the reference you re
ferred to about me, I shall have
more to say about that when 1 see
you.
In Omaha Monday.
"I want to start from here Sat

away before Sunday anyhow figure
to be in Omaha some time Monday
if I C3n see my way clear to get
there from Chicago will do so
otherwise, no. Think I shall reg

DEMOCRATS TO
MAKE TREATY AN
ELECTION ISSUE
Party Leaders Glad to Take
Up League of Nations in
Next Campaign; Feel
Confident.
Chicago, May 28. Describing the
republican party as an organization
which "complains and moves back
ward" and the peace treaty and the
League of Nations covenant as "the
greatest document of human liberty
ever prepared," Chairman Homer S.
Cummings, of the democratic na
tional committee, today sounded the
keynote for an aggressive presiden
tial campaign in 1920.
Party leaders declared they wel
comed the opportunity to make the
peace treaty and the League of Na
tions covenant the issue in the
forthcoming fight and expressed con
fidence of victory.
Until President Wilson definitely
announces his attitude toward a third
term, party chieftains say, there will
be no serious discussion of candi
dates. Congratulate Wilson.
The committee adopted a resolu
tion congratulating President Wil
son on his work at Paris in drafting
the treaty of peace and the League
of Nations covenant and calling on
the United States senate promptly
to ratify the documents.
J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice
chairman of the committee, said the
democrats would welcome the op
portunity to make the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenant
the issue in the next presidential
campaign.
The democratic party had ful
filled all its pre-election pledges. He
welcomed the advent of women into
party politics and said that the
votes of women in the western suf
frage states were largely responsible
for democratic success in 1918.
Points Out Blunder.
Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker of Tex
as, speaking for the women associate
members of the committee, said the
democratic congress made a blunder
when it failed to adopt the woman's
suffrage constitutional amendment,
and that the committee should admit
it. She said if the country was to
remain democratic the help of the
women was needed.
The committee is considering
holding its next meeting in January,
1920 ,at San Francisco.
