SPLIT IN STATE
MEETING FAILS
TO MATERIALIZE
Selection of Robert Devoe as
Committee Chairman .Sat
isfactory to Majority of
Those Concerned.
Lincoln, June 11. The "big split
in the republican state committee
meeting," as heralded by a local
democratic paper Tuesday afternoon
when the state committee was meet-
. ing at the Lindell hotel, for the pur
pose of selecting a state chairman
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of E. D. Beach, who has
carried the honors through two
campaigns, did not materialize and
those who were waiting and hoping
: for such a thing are sadly disap
pointed. The selection of Robert W. Devoe
as chairman of the committee ap
pears to suit everybody but those
who wanted to see trouble, and if a
'unanimous choice of the commit
tee can be called a "split" then the
committee was badly broken up, for
never in the history of the state
committee has there been more uni
versal satisfaction over what at first
appeared to be a fight, than the se
lection of Mr. Devoe.
Corrick Declined.
The name of F. P. Corrick was
not presented to the meeting -at the
request of Mr. Corrick himself- at
though there' were several members
ot the committee and .many-of the
"state officers, who would have liked
; to have seen. Mr. Corrick made
chairman. There was a large senti
ment among those who fayore"d De
voe for chairman that Corrick should
take the secretaryship, but the latter
has had plans in view for some time
that he preferred to take up which
he will now be at liberty to accept..
However he was willing to accept
the chairmanship if there appeared
to be ajcall for him to do so. As
vsoon as he discovered yesterday
that Devoe appeared to be strong
with many of the-influential mem
t1. A. Barrows, Correspondent."
bers of the committee he told his
friends not to announce his name
and when the time came tor a se
lection the name of Mr. Devote was
the only one considered.
Result Satisfactory.
'The result of the work of the
state committee is perfectly satis
factory to me," said Mr. Corrick to
The Bee .correspondent. "It was a
question to me whether I really
ought to take it or not because
of other plans, but of course if the
sentiment favored me, I was willing
to give op those plans.
Robert , VV. Devoe represents the
progressive element in the repub
lican party and is exceedingly
strong with all republicans. His
address before the republican state
convention last year made so strong
an impression that National Chair
man Will Hays, who was present,
at once suggested its use as a cam
paign document, and it was used
extensively during the campaign by
the national committee. Mr. Devoe
is a live wire, and while there was
some fear that he might not accept,
it was understood at the meeting
that he was willing to take hold if
the committee so desired.
Mr. Devoe is out of the state and
may not return until some time
next week, and, therefore, the selec
tion of a secretary will be left until
he makes his choice upon his re
turn, as the state committee gave
him full power to not only select
his secretary, but a new executive
committee if he desired to make a
change.
Says Burlington Refuses
to Build Safe Cattle Pass
Lincoln, June 11. John F. Anthes
of Wellfleet has made complaint to
the State Railway 'commission that
the Burlington railroadwhich runs
through his land near that -town, has
refused to obey the Taw and build; a
cattle pass under the tracks so his
cattle can safely pass from one part
of his farm to, the other.
..The Burlington takes exceptions
to the statement that they refuse to
build the'"pass, alleging "tfrat Mr.

EXTRA SESSION
NOW DEPENDS ON
LEGISLATORS
Governor Sends Out Letters
Regarding Suffrage Amend
ment; Writes Executives
of Neighboring States.
Lincoln, June 11. If the response
to the letters sent out by Governor
McKelvie show a feeling on the
part of a majority of the members
of the legislature that a special ses
sion should be called to pass upon
the adoption of a joint resolution
ratifying the national woman suf
frage amendment to the constitu
tion the governor will make the call.
In his communication sent out to
day the governor says:
"From information that I am
able to get from other states, it
appears that it will be practical
for Nebraska to have a special
session of the legislature for the
purpose of considering the ratifi
cation of the suffrage amendment
to the national constitution. I
shall be glad to have an expres
sion of opinion from you. bear
ing upon this subject, and would
like also a suggestion as to the
time when you think such a ses
sion should be called. If you have
other suggestions to make bear
ing upon the matter of. a special
session, I shall bever' glad to
have them.'v ...
The governor has also sent the
following message to the executives
of other states in an effort to dis
cover the sentiment along the line
of, special sessions in states where
the legislature is not now in session
or will not be in time to give the
women a chance to vote at the next
presidential election.
I shall call a special session
of the Nebraska legislature if
enough other governors take
sjmilar action' to make it appear
..' that approval of the suffrage
amendment will be materially
. hastened thereby.- I shall appre
ciate, it very much, therefore, if
you will 'advise me of the action
that you have taken or intend
taking in this matter.
NEBRASKA MAN
FAVORS LICENSE
ON ALL POTASH
W. E. Richardson thinks Tar
iff System Would Cost
Farmers More; Should
Have Quick Action.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Washington, June 11. W. E.
Richardson, who is interested in a
large potash plant at Lakeside,
Neb., and representing the Nebras
ka potash producers before the
ways and means committee, com
pleted his statement begun Tues
day before that committee.
Mr. Richardson declared himself
unreservedly in favor of the licens
ing as against the direct tariff sys
tem "because" he said, "it would cost
the farmers less under the former
than under the latter system." He
said that 90 per cent of all potash
goes into fertilizer and that 75 per
cent of that fertilizer is manufac
tured by six concerns in this coun
try, all large and powerful with
big capital behind them."
"These firms," said the Nebraska
man are in a position to report
quickly as cheap a price as can be
procured and unless we get speedy
relief these large users of potash
may import or arrange for importa
tion of 100,000 tons of potash which
will spell ruin for the domestic pro
ducers of potash."
Mr. Richardson gave, it as his
opinion that the domestic " potash
producers and the Nebraska field
produces' 75 per cent of the potash
in the country at this time. It could
furnish potash at $2.50 a unit for the
next two years and break even. .
In aswer to a question of Chair
man Fordney, he said , that repre
sented $250 a ton.
"We believe that in order to pro
tect the domestic potash industry
we would need at least a duty of
$1.50 per unit."
Judge Kinka'id is of the opinion
that a majority of the ways and
means committee look with favor on
the licensing system, which also has
the endorsement or Dr. White of
the bureau of mines.

Commercial Club of
Grand Island Complains
of the Freight Service
Lincoln, June 11. Because of the
consolidation of freight houses at
Grand Island by the government
administration of railroads, it is im
possible for shippers of perishable
goods to unload and have the freight
handled under the orders of the
state railway commission, accord
ing to a telegram reaching the
commission from E. L. Brown,
chairman of the traffic committee of
th commercial club of that city.'
Mr. Brown says that the Bur
lington refuses to accept loads of
perishable goods backed up to the
freieht house at 4:10 Tuesday aft
ernoon. The railroads, according to
Mr. Brown, interpret the order of
the commission so that the burden
is all thrown on the shipper. He
says that lack of platform i'i:e
sincethe srovernment consolidated
the freight houses makes it impos
sible to live up to the commission s
order made some time ago relative
to closing of freight houses at a
certain hour and requiring goods to
be on platform in time so they
could be handled. He says that .e-
lief must come immediately.
The commission will take up the
matter immediately.

vention Opens With Nearly
1,000 in Attendance;
Full Card of Oratory.
Representing every, county in Ne
braska and practically every city
and town of the state, yesterday
afternoon, in the ballroom of the
Hotel Fontenelle, there gathered
nearly 1,000 bankers, to hold their
22d annual ' convention. There

full, in fact, that the automobile
ride about the city, planned for late
in the day, was postponed until 9:30
a. m. today.
The convention was presided over
by W. S. Weston and the invoca
tion was pronounced by Rev. E. H.
Jenks, of the First Presbyterian
church of Omaha. 1
The bankers were welcomed to
the city by Mayor Smith, who as
sured them that while he had
greeted many assemblages in Oma
ha, there were no men for whom he
had more respect than for the
bankers of Nebraska. He referre
to them as men who in the comimm
ities in which they reside are looked
up to socially and as thorough, re
liable and substantial business men
The mayor sxpressed the hop
that out of the meeting and our of
other meetings of a similar charac
ter would be wrought methods that
would aid in bringing about peace
and prosperity to the entire world
and a peace that would maintain
for all time to come.
J. L. Hobbs, basso of the First
Presbyterian church, sang, "Son of
the Desert Am I," with Miss Louis
Zabriskie at the piano.

tional bank and also president of

before national and state banks

were in existence. He detailed the
method of obtaining a circulating
medium, explaining that each and
every bank issued its own currenccy
and that the same passed as real
money within the country around
the town in which the particular
bank was dointr business.
In behalf of the Omaha bankers
Mr. Millard welcomed the visitors
to the city, assuring1 them that the
financial institutions here regard it
as a distinctive honor to have the
bankers of the state with them.
Speakinsr for the visiting bankers
John M. Flannigan, cashier of the
Citizens' Bank of Stuart, responded
to the addresses of welcome. He
thanked the Omahans for the cour
tesies extended, adding that 'I de
sire to quote the words of the Ogal
lala Sioux and say, 'We come with
good hearts.'"
Doctors of Financial Ills.
Richard S. Hawes, vice-pres-.dent
of the Third National bank. St
Louis, and also vice-president of
the American Bankers' association,
spoke on the "Independence of
Bankers," taking the position that
they are the doctors of financial
ills and some of the ills with which
families are afflicted at times.
Detailing duties of bankers and
the responsiblities that they owe
the public, Mr. Hawes digressed and
went into a discussion of the rail
road proposition and the operation
and control of transportation lines,
He urged the necessity of the gov-
renment returning the railroad prop
erties to corporate control and own
ership at the earliest possible date,
though he thought that possibly
some government restriction should
be maintained. He characterized
government operation of the roads
as "inefficient and impracticable and
not satisfactory to the public.
Mr. Hawes expressed the opinion
that during the readjustment period
following the war, to attain the best
results, labor and capital must rec
ognize each other's rights and work
together for the good of the coun
try and its people, its business and
its institutions. He asserted that at
this time, 20,000 propagandists
throughout the country, well sup
plied w-ith money, are seeking to
stir up. discord and strife between
labor and capital. These men he
pictured as being dangerous to the
communities in which they work,
their main purpose being to tear
down and destroy the institutions of
liberty. He urged going after for
eign trade and holding it, that goods
of American manufacture might be
found in all the markets of the
world.
Governor Discusses Code Law.
Governor McKelvie discussed the
administrative code, asserting that
the passage of the code bill and that
later its going into operation is not
a new idea in .Nebraska. Me stated
that two former governors, More-
head and " Neville, had pledged a
similar code to the people of the
state. He asserted that while the
code contains 512 pages, but 20
pages constitute new legislation.
The governor discussed the code
topic by topic, explaining that under
its operations the constitutional of
fices of the state are not interferred
with, it having to do only with those
created by the legislature. Of these
it eliminates numerous boards, con
solidating the. former 20 subdivisions
of state government into six de
partments, with a responsible 'head
over each..
The afternoon session closed with
an address by W. J. Bailey, former
governor and congressman of Kan
sas, but now the owner of several
banks. in the state and also a director
of the Kansas City Federal Reserve
bank.
Ex-Governor Bailey paid a high
tribute. to Nebraska, expressing the
opinion that "with the excetion of
Kansas, it is the best state in the
union and that the two states are
so near alike that you will be un
able to tell when you pass from one
into the other."
The ex-governor dwelt at length
upon the benefits that are to accrue
by reason of the establishment of
the reserve banks, contending that .
they are a protection to state and !
national banks; that they make it
possible for banks to do business
without carrying such enormous re
serves as in the past and that tirey
establish the credit of all institu
tions having dealings with them.

A DISCOVERY THAT C'

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1835 Newton originated the vae

In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis.,
discovered how to reduce milk to a
dry powder form with extract of
malted grains, without cane sugar.
This product HORLICK named
Malted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and
the fact that it keeps in any climate
has proved of much value to man

ILLINOIS WOMAN
ENDSHAPPILY,
Ten Years' Trouble Overcome
By Tanlac When Every
thing Else Had
Failed.
"I tried for more than ten years
to find a medicine that would oyer
come my troubles, but I never got
any relief until I commenced taking
Tanlac," said Mrs. George Schrop
pel, who lives on R. F. D. No. 1,
Peoria, recently.
"The awful suffering I under
went during all those years almost
made a physical and nervous wreck
of me," continued Mrs. Schroppel,
"and when I began taking Tanlac
I had about given up all hope of
ever being a well woman again.
Owing to the awful condition Qf
my stomach, I was not able to eat
anything without suffering ter
ribly afterwards, and I just got so
weak and rundown that I had to
give up trying to do any part of my
housework. My food would sour, and
I would have such awful crampimr
pains in the pit of my stomach that
I would actually break out in a Cold
sweat all over my body. I. suffered
from shortness of breath, too, and
I was so nervous that I never slept
more than an hour or two any night.
Nothing I took seemed to do me th
least bit of good, and I finally got
to where I had no energy at all, and
just felt tired and completely worn
out all the time.
"Then I decided to give Tanlac a
trial, and to my great surprise I be
gan to improve before I had finished
my first bottle, and I was so encour
aged that I just continued to take
Tanlac, and now I am as well and
hearty as I ever was in my life.
When I think of how completely
Tanlac has overcome my ten years
of suffering after everything else
had failed, I can. hardly believe it
myself. Why, I can eat things, now
that I honestly believe would have
killed me to eat before I took this
wonderful medicine. I have such a
splendid appetite that I can hardly
wait for mealtime to come. I never
suffer a particle from indigestion
or sour stomach now, and my nerves
are in such perfect condition that 1
sleep like a child every night, I do
the cooking and all the rest of my
housework .with perfect ease, and 1
never have that worn out, tired feel
ing any more. I wouldn't take any
thing in the world for what Tanlao
has done for me, and I never lose
an opportunity to sings its praises
wherever I go."
