John Maher Says Ratifi cation Without Changes is Endorsement of the Shantupg Affair. Lincoln, July 17. Maj. John G. Maher has sent the following letter to former Lieut. Gov. Edgar Howard, covering the present situa tion as regards the league of nations. "J. have been reading your editor ials in opposition to certain features of the league of nations, and I heartily agree in the main with what you say. As I view it, if the league is approved as now presented be fore the senate, it will be endors ing the Shantung affair, and will in deed be a black page in our nation's history. "I feel this is a time for all men and women who believe in keeping aloof from entangling alliances in Europe, to get together and disprove of any attempt to entangle our gov ernment"1 with European or Asiatic governments. If this league be ratified without amendment, it will tie our government hand and foot to the imperialism of Japan and England, and we will no longer be free to stand for liberty, justice and right in the world. Urge Nation to Protect Spoils. "It seems to me that the govern ments who were our associates in the war, at its close, attempted to grab as much of the spoils as pos sible, and after getting what they wanted, they urge this nation to enter into an agreement to protect them and their spoils. Let us not forget that our forefathers left Europe to escape the persecution of kings, and we should be slow to enter into any covenant with these governments whereby we agree to send our troops anywhere in the world by the vote of any European or Asiatic country. "We have enough Over here to attend to at this time. Let the ex ecutive, in all its branches, get it feet on the earth and get down to business and see if some of the 1,500,000,000, pounds of meat, eggs and butter now in cold storage, can not be turned loose so that the com mon people may not be compelled to pay exorbitant prices for these commodities. There are many other grave problems confronting Amer ica. 1 America Wants Peace. "We want peace, and will make any reasonable sacrifice for it, but let us protest if any attempt is made to exchange American sovereignty for a partnership with arty foreign government. We did not entr the war because Belgium was invaded or because France was overrun, be cause it was two years after this was done that war was declared.

Barrows, Correspondent high sea was questioned, just as it was in 1812. We love liberty and reverence the free institutions conceived by the revolutionary fathers, and preserved and defended by the blood and sac rifice of their sons, and we must not surrender that independence. The Stars and Stripes today float over a free people, but whenever we sur render any of our independence to foreign powers the flag which we love so well and for which count less thousands died will no longer be a symbol of the land of the, free and the home of the brave. Let us adhere to the old determination of keeping out of entangling alliances. Let us be a "big brother to all na tions and play the part of peace maker and stand for liberty, justice and right. By doing this we will be upholding the things our forefathers died for, the patriots of 1812 fought for and the .ideals of the men who watered with their life's blood the hills and valleys of Antietam, Cold Harbor, Getttysburg and Lookout Mountain, and the things we en tered this war for. "I will be pleased to participate in any meeting that will crystallize the sentiments expressed in this letter." U. P. Railway Willing to Lease Right-of-Way j for Public Highways Lincoln, July 17. Property own ers along the right-of-way of the Union Pacific railway have become interested in the negotiations which the state highway commission is making for lease of right-of-way for public roads. The company has offered to make a 50-year lease to the counties of sufficient space within the right ot way for roads, under the good roads law, with the understanding that in case the roads should, during that time, want to use the space for trackage, they will secure space, alongside the right of way from property owners and rebuild the road at the expense of the company. Property owners have asked State Engineer Johnson to take the mat ter up with Secretary of Agricul ture Houston and see if an agree ment of that kind will be all right. Employes of Capital Beach Strike After Discharge of Workman Lincoln, July 17. Capital Beach, Lincoln's salt water resort, is enjoy ing a strike, the labor union having called off all members because of the discharge of an electrician. It is alleged that the man dis charged had been dishonest, but the party who made the statement which caused the discharge refused to back it up when confronted. It is also said that clerks in certain stores in Lincoln who can play band instruments have been taking the places of union musicians who have walked out. The union threatens that if these nonunion musicians do not quit play ing tnat tne stores in wnicn iney work will be boycotted and that the state band, which has a contract with the beach1 management for con certs, will not carry out their en gagements.

Game and Fish Commissioner George Koster is pre paring to give offenders against the game laws of the state a run for their fun if they attempt to shoot prairie chickens beyond the law, and next week will send seven addition al wardens into the chicken country to watch things.

Bees of Bancroft fined $21.70 for fishing with a hoop net. In the, United Kingdom there are said to be 1,500,000 spinsters with no hope of marriage. CITY TO RESIST STREET CAR FARE INCREASE HERE No Official Cognizance of Su preme Court Decision by Council. The city council has not taken of ficial cognizance of the decision of the state supreme court, in connec tion with the application of the street railway company for increased fare, but members of the council favor the city resisting an increase. Corporation Counsel Lambert, who has represented the city in this case, is away on his vacation, which makes it unlikely that any further action by the city will be taken until his return. Acting Mayor Ure does not take the matter seriously "The traction company, in making its showing be fore the state railway commission and the state supreme court, esti mated that it would lose $800,000 this year, based on war conditions," he said. "The company's own rec ords for the first quarter of this year indicate that they will earn $300,000 this year." "We intend to fight an increased street car fare in Omaha, because the records of the street railway company do not warrant an in crease," Commissioner Zimman said. Mayor Smith, who is out of the city, expressed himself on the sub ject on several recent occasions. He has a large file of reports and his last expression was that the com pany's own reports for the first three months' of this year showed net earnings iof about $80,000 under a 5-cent rate. The city will ask the supreme court to grant a rehearing, failing in which, the city will then fight its case out before the state railway commission. Officials of the street railway com pany believe they have been vindi cated in their contentions that the company must have more than a 5-cent rate of fare to obtain a fair return on its investment and to pre vent insolvency. The company this year has resisted the payment of occupation taxes to the city. tsassasssWasssssssssssssssasssssssssssas as .as3.,A!a v . , : f n " ,, rxsBmmtmmmmwmmmemssxsammBi 'I'i'ir1 i r r 1,. ,i-, ig'Jiie-. .tamtammmmKMmwMaaBsaxasnwKs ''"ssssWsMssssssMsassssssWssssBsWssM SHREDDED WHEAT DAYS ' are pleasant ta and their sshslymd goodness.

Weirich, superintendent of the welfare board, yesterday de clared he was working on the case of Mrs. Anna Rhedin's claim against the Fraternal Union of America, the insurance order in which her hus band, John A. Rhedin, carried a policy for 22 years. Mr. Rhedin lost his life more than a week ago when he accidentally plunged into a cistern on the rear of his property at 1506 B street. His life insurance policy , called for the payment to Mrs. Rhedin upon his death of $1,200. ' Mrs. Rhedin declared the com pany refused to settle with her be cause of the false report of Detec tives Herdzina and Thesrup to the effect that her husband committed suicide. Interested In Case. Mr. Weirich also declared that he was investigating the charge of Mrs. Rhedin that her husband was re lieved of $33, which he had in his pocket at the time he fell in the cistern. The money was lost be tween the time the man fell into the cistern and his arrival at the hos pital. "I am deeply interested in this case," said Mr. Weirich, "and I am giving it my very best attention. It will be necessary for me to ob tain copies of the death certificate, the physician's certificate and the undertaker's certificate. We will have to comply with other rules of the company looking to a proper identification of the policy holder and proof of his death. "It is my understanding that the insurance company has no official representative in this city. J. B. Mason, with offices in the Brown block, is acting as collector for the company. I shall take the matter up with an official clothed with au thority to act at the earliest pos sible moment. Search for Money. "I am also deeply interested !n what Mrs. Rhedin says about the loss of $33. I shall investigate this thoroughly, and do all I can to see that any wrongs which may have been done this woman are righted." Police Commissioner Ringer and Chief Eberstein refuse to manifest any interest in the case. Mr. Ringer declined to comment on the matter, saying the case was in the hands of the chiet of police. Mr. Eberstein indicated that he did not believe the story told by Mrs. Rhed in. "I have no knowledge of any irregularity in this case," he said.

ATTORNEY ASKS DEATH PENALTY FOR EMERSON Severe Cross-Examination Fails to Shake Testimony of Defendant; Case to Jury Today. Mt. Ayr, la., July 17. (Special Telegram.) Roy Emerson, charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Kate Emerson, on May 6, took the stand in his own defense Thursday morning and was recalled tor a snort time Thursday afternoon. While he altered his testimony in some minor details, he failed to change any of the mam parts of his story. Attorney F. F. Fuller of Mt. Ayr made the opening argument tor the state. His speech took up about two hours and he appealed to the jury to return a verdict of guilty and for the death penalty. Attorney W. E. Mitchell of Coun cil Bluffs followed with a plea for the defense and T. W. Highby will make the final plea for the state. Emerson is subject to fits and court was forced to adjourn during his testimony to allow him to re cover from an attack. He testified that he last saw his mother alive between 2:30 and 3 on the afternoon of her death. He said she was in the office when Har old Giben and Roy Patteraon were present. Immediately after they left he said he left the building and went to the Wells restaurant and later watched the construction of a soldier's memorial, returning to the office at 3:30 p. m. He testified his mother was not there at the time. Views Body in Morgue. Immediately aftter his return Em erson testified that callers came in and that Matlock and Hoffman, his employes, returned about the same time. He told of a visit to the hos pital and on his return going to the morgue to view a dead body. Emerson said he first saw his mother's dead body when he left the morgue to go to another part of the building. He said he did nor recognize it as a human body un til he was half way across the room and he immediately called to Mat lock. He said he picked his mother up and found that she was dead and himediatly sent for Dr. J. W. Coak-ley. He testified he went to the work room with Matlock where he first saw the blood on his hands and shoes. After washing his hands and wiping his shoes off with the rag which was found in the barrel, he testified that he asked Matlock if he had any blood on his shoes. Emerson Denies Statement. Emerson denied statements made by Dr. J. W. Emerson that he had asked that no inquest be held and that he had said his "mother's head was beaten to a pulp." 1 He admitted a talk with the cor oner about the possibilities of his mother taking her own life, but de nied that he said an inquest would hurt the business. On leaving the building he testified that he told the coroner if an inquest was neces sary to be sure and get "good" men, not "right" men. Emerson denied that he asked Matlock to be careful at the inquest so their stories would .agree. He also denied asking Dr. Coakley to say that his mother's death was caused by a fall during a dizzy spell. He told of the disappearance of a gun from a desk in the workroom shortly before the tragedy and of the search made by himself and Matlock fearing that his mother had. taken the gun to kill herself. He said the gun was returned to the desk as mysteriously as it disappeared and later was taken again. He said it had never been found after it dis appeared the last time. Talked to Doctor. He testified that he had talked to Dr. J. W. Coakley a few days be fore the tragedy about his mother's condition and asked his advice about having an administrator appointed to keep her from harming herself. On Dr. Coakley "s advice he said he re frained from requesting the appoint ment. Emerson accounted for the lodge certificate being found under his mother's body by saying that she had spoken to him several days be fore about having it framed. He said she had doubtless been to the workroom after the picture when she fell during a dizzy spell. He admitted that Dr. Orlo Coak ley visited his apartment on the night of the tragedy and told of finding the bloody rag, but denied that he said, "I guess I slopped over when I wiped mother's face with the rag."

A Vital Question for Every Man Who Smokes or Chews to Answer May Cost a Life to Find Out By Experiment. The heart of every user of tobacco bears a double burden. It does its allotted task and then fights nicotine for supremacy. As lonir as the heart wins he lives; when it loses he dies, but before the final victory of nicotine you pass through many stases of decline and decay and suffer many pnnKS. Hearts are like human beings some are stronger than others, therefore some hearts will stand more tobacco than others, but there is a limit to what any heart can stand. The man who puts this additional strain on his heart a doren times a day by smokinit cigarettes, a pipe or cigars or chewing tobacco Is taking a madman's chance with health and , life to lose and nothing to win but the cha-.oe that he may not lose them. He is indulg ing in a costly habit at the expense of precious health. Ask any doctor anywhere, and he will tell you that using tobacco is injurious and that it is far better to quit the habit than to experiment to find how much tobacco your heart will stand with out serious results. But the thought of quitting is unpleasant to most men even to those who know thai tobacco injures them and to really quit takes more will power than they have and causes more suffering than they can vol untarily endure. To quit the habit, make It easy for yourself by getting Nieotol;' tablets and taking them as directed. The habit really quits you and its departure is a pleasure equal to its indulgence. If you want to know how much easier it -Is to quit the habit with Nieotol than wjthr out it, go twenty-four hours without to-., bacco and note what an effort it costs you,, then begin using it as usual and take Nieotol tablets. At the end of a week dis continue smoking or chewing for a day and it is probable you will have no desire to resume. At least your desire will be greatly diminished and another week or two should make it not only possible, but a pleasure, to quit.
