PALMER TELLS
CHARACTER OF
LEAGUE PROBE
Denies That Money Was Spent
With Newspapers and At
tempts Made to Excite
Mob Violence.
Attorney J. P. Palmer of Oma
ha, charged by C. A. Sorenson, at
torney for the National Nonpar
tisan league, with directing opera
tions of detectives to manufacture
evidence of pro-Germanism among
the league members for an associa
tion of business men, makes the fol
lowing reply to the charge:
"The statement by one Ralph
Moore, relative to the Nonpartisan
league during the summer of 1918,
ordinarily should receive no atten
tion, but because cf misunderstand
ings which might arise, I make a
brief statement.
Investigate Disloyalty Chargei.
"During 1918, there were so many
stories of disloyalty of the Nonpar
tisan league, that a committee was
organized to investigate. This com
mittee was composed of men from
different parts of the state of all vo
cations. It was thought advisable to
get some inside information of the
real character of the league. A man
was obtained from what was then
supposed to be a reliable source, and
his reports, together with informa-

Authorize Temporary Track
The city council adopted a resolu
tion authorizing Condon & Bolen,
grading contractors, to lay a tem
porary standard gauge railroad
track on Dodge street, from Ninth
to Twenty-second streets, for use
In grading the Dodge street hill.
This track will extend only to
Seventeenth and Dodge streets at
first and will be moved westward
as the grading work progresses.
tion which the committee gathered
showed that the membership of the
Nonpartisan league in Nebraska, was
not entirely disloyal and no asser
tion has been made that the mem
bership, as a whole, was pro-German.
"However, an investigation proved
conclusively the following facts: The
nonresident organizers were social
ists and opposed to the war. Moore
reported that several of the organiz
ers were I. W. W.'s. The organizers
always began with those who were
pro-German and nearly all pro-Germans
were members of the league.
Copies of the Nonpartisan league,
printed in German, were distributed
to those found to be sympathetic
with Germany. Mr. Moore reported
many instances in the offices of the
league where the rankest sedition
was uttered in language sometimes
too filthy to be reproduced. These
records are on file, but have never
been used because of not having cor
roborative evidenc of Moore's state
ments. This committee was able to
furnish to the lawyers for the Coun
cil of Defense, in its suit with the
Nonpartisan league, enough facts so
the league attorneys were glad to
withdraw their suit and withdraw
from the state, all nonresident or
ganizers. This promise was not en
tirely kept, but enough of the truth
got to the people so the league was
not able to get more members.
Says Statements False.
"In regard to the charges about
efforts to create mob violence, cor
rupt courts, or defame persons, I
simply say those statements are ab
solutely false. I he committee real
ized that mob violence is not argu
ment and that the spirit of the Ne
braska people would eventually re
volt. I, personally made several
trips to counsel against such action.
Moore states that thousands of dol
lars were spent n the newspapers.
I call upon any newspaper which
received money to make that fact
public. I am glad Moore included
that falsehood, because the newspa
pers know the facts. No money
whatever was spent in the newspa
pers and none was spent except to
get information of disloyalty. No
effort was ever made to fake evi
dence, but efforts were made to cor
roborate statements maHe by Moore
of seditious utterances by league organizers."

WHEAT DEALERS
MUST OBTAIN U. S.
GRAIN LICENSES
Only Farmers and Small Bak
ery Owners Are Exempt
From Government Ruling
Regarding Permits.
With the exceptions of the far
mers and the owners of small baker
ies, all persons, firms and corpora
tions dealing in wheat or wheat
products have until July 17 to obtain
licenses from the United States
Grain corporations. Failing to ob
tain such licenses, these dealers in
wheat and wheat products will be
violators of the law and prosecution
and punishment may result.
Last year the food administration
had jurisdiction over the handling of
all wheat products intended for food.
With the discontinuance of the food
administration office, its affairs, so
far as they pertained to wheat and
its products, were turned over to
the grain corporation. In this juris
diction, including" Nebraska, a por
tion of Iowa and South Dakota,
My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife"
Madge Stilled Even Her Breath at
the Lady's Approach.
The click of the high-heeled shoes
came iwiftly down the hall, and
then the tall, magnificiently built
finre of the woman I had seen in
the cafe upon the night of my poor
father's "celebration dinner" was
silhouetted for an instant against
the dim light she had left. X was
Charles T. Neal, second vice presi
dent of the United States Grain cor
poration, is in charge and the person
who issues the licenses authorizing
the handling of the products.
In issuing licenses, yno charge is
exacted by the government, but ap
plying for and obtaining these li
censes are absolutely necessary in
the conduct of the business of deal
ing in wheat and its products.
Mr. Neal's office has sent out thou
sands of applications for licenses and
they are being returned at a rapid
rate. The licenses this year are simi
lar to those of last year, aside from
the fact that no restrictions are
placed on the quantity to be sold.
However, they provide for reports
of sales and the prices charged.
holding to the pall-like curtains of
the alcove with a firm hand, deter
mined that no tremor of them
should awaken the woman's suspic
ion of my presence, but equally
determined that the tiny aperture
in the curtains through which I
wa peering should remain open.
Allen Drake had stationed himself
with one hand upon the simple
mechanism that controlled the elec
tric lamp which the occupant of the
apartment had turned low before
going out. As she entered, his
fingers touched it, and the full glow
of the light flooded the room.
I do not know of any other
woman save Lillian who would not
have screamed or exclaimed at the
sudden flare of the light, that
glimpse of the strangers in her
apartment which met her eyes. But
she uttered no scream, said no word
of protest or exclamation. Only
one quickly drawn sibilant breath
betrayed any emotion out of the
ordinary.
The next instant her hand had
shot to the electric wall switch, and
the room was suddenly plunged
into darkness. I heard no click of
her heels, even no rustle of the pall-
lilre curtains, but I felt their move
ment as they were softly, yet deftly
pushed open and then the lithe
figure of the woman stood in the
alcove with me. so near that I
could have put out my hand and
touched her. .
Siie had barely reached sanctuary,
however, when Allen Drake's voice
your little games are up. If you
come out of that alcove and let us
have a quiet little confidential chat
drawled slowly, coolly:
"Come on Now."
"It's no use, Mary, Jane, Susan,
Suzanne. Mme. Robinetti, Mrs. Jane
Rcbbins. If you try any tricks,
you may be able to wear something
else besides striped gingham for
the next few years."
He played the electric flashlight
upon the floor,' being careful to
keep its rays from the corner of
the alcove where I was standing
fairly holding my breath, for fear
my presence would be betrayed to
the woman standing so tensely
with her hand griping the curtains.
I felt an unreasoning fear of her,
although the presence of Allen
Drake and Lillian Underwood
assured me ample protection.
"Come on now," he adjured, his
voice a trifle sharper. "I'm liable
to get peevish in a minute, for my
time is valuable. Just come over
here where it's much more comfort
able than where you are."
I heard another deep-drawn
breath, knew that the woman was
bracing herself for the inevitable.
Then she parted the curtains and
advanced toward M. Drake her
path marked uncannily by the glow
of his flashlight. As she came.
toward him, Lillian stepped softly
toward the curtains, and stood with
her back to them, de'tly closing the
opening again.
Simply Regal.
Then, and only till then, did Mr.
Drake move toward the electric wall
switch. As he turned it on, the
woman looked him up and down
with magnificent scorn, then turned
the same disdainful glance on Lil
lian. "Sol" she said.
I have never heard so much con
tempt and hatred crowded into a
single monosyllable before.
She evidently braced herself for
the reply, but both Allen Drake and
Lillian Underwood are versed in
psychology. Neither of them ut
tered a syllable, simply looked at
her coolly, appraisingly, waited for
her to speak again.
"Weill" she demanded after wait
ing a long moment. "What are
you, and what do you want? Money
and my few jewels I suppose. I
must say I do not remember your
faces although I suppose I could
find them in the rogues' gallery."
She was simply regal in her man
ner. I saw Allen Drake look his ad
miration of her coolness, but still he
said no word.
