THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1919. Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee LOCKLEAR'S FEAT BIG SENSATION OF STATE FAIR ' 0 Climbs From One Plane to Other Hundreds of Feet Up Large Crowds " Attend. ATTENDANCE. tail 9.W SO ,321 S5.S77 83,819 1919 Sunday 14,811 Monday 40.1M Tuesday ,...411.248 Wednesday 71.114 Lincoln, Sept. 3. (Special.) The sensation of the fair so far has been the flying of Lieutenant Locklear, who appears to defy all elements of the air and performs stunts that keep the people with their hearts in their throats most of the time. His feat of climbing from one plane to the other while many hundred feat in the air is hard on people with weak hearts. Locklear stands on the top wing of one plane and with the other just above him seizes a rope ladder and climbs to the upper machine. Yesterday he failed to get the right focus on the thing and had to try it the second time. When one goes over the grounds he is struck not with any particu lar exhibit, but by them all. In he agricultural hall the county col lective exhibits are the peer of any collective exhibits shown in pre vious years. Many of the western counties show something wonderful and how the judges are hoping to distinguish which is the better is hard to tell. Wednesday 7,774 people passed through the gates and 6,185 auto mobiles. The day's attendance top ped all previous records by more than 6,212. The attendance for the first four days this year was 56,559 more than the first four days last year. Thursday is Qmaha day and as usual it is expected that visitors from the metropolis will b greatly in evidence. Among the visitors will be a bunch of carrier kids from The Omaha Bee who will enjoy the fair and be given most anything they like. Thursday is looked forward to as the big day for, with the big crowd promised from Douglas county, it is expected that the Thursday record of last year of 65,562 will be broken.

Governor Refuses to Intervene In Death Sentence of Two Men Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 3. (Special) Governor McKelvie today refused to intervene in the sentence of death, by electrocution, imposed on Alonzo B. Cole and Allen Grammer, the two men convicted of the mur der of Grammer's mother-in-law about a year ago. In declining to commute the sentence, Governor McKelvie said, although he was per sonally opposed to the death sen tence, he would not interfere with the law as long as the statutes of the state provide for such a sen tence. . The only hope the convicted men now hare is favorable action by the supreme court on their appeal from a decision of the district court of Lancaster county denying their pe tition for release from the peniten- ' tiary on a writ of habeas corpus. 'The supreme court meets early next week and an immediate decision is exnected. as the men are sentenced to die in the electric chair Septem ber 12. According to testimony brought out at the trial of the two men, Grammer paid Cole $500 to murder " ki raothtr Jorlax. lira. Lulu Voce1 P. A. Banows. Correspondent " MAY BREAK ALL RECORDS OMAHA STATE FAIR DAY Predict 1,500 In Autos From Here Call Off Auto-Train-Plane Race. Today is Omaha day at the state fair. All attendance records will prob ably be shattered, according to the publicity bureau of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. It is expected that at least 1,500 Omahans will make the trip to Lin coln today in automobiles. Call Off Auto-Plane Race. The auto-airplane-train race scheduled to be held today has been called off at the request of Governor McKelvie. Numerous complaints from autoists objecting to the use of roads between Oma ha and Lincoln as a race track is given as the cause. J. H. Hansen, who was to have driven his racing car, had made the drive three times to accustom him self to the roads, and his car was completely overhauled and ready for the race. Reduced Railroad Fare. For the first time since war was declared a special railroad rate has been secured for Omahans going by train to the state fair. The fare has been reduced from $3.56 to $2.68 for the round trip. The first train leaves for Lincoln a't the Burlington depot at 8:20. It will be run in two sections. The second traiii leaves at 9:15. Both will stop at the fair grounds. Trains back to Omaha leave the Burlington depot at 4:30, 6 and 7:15 p. m. A total attendance of Omaha peo ple going both by trains and auto is expected to exceed 3,500. McKelvie Sends Welcome to Pershing as Adopted Son Lincoln, Sept. 3. Governor Mc Kelvie today sent the following tele gram to a New York paper: New York American, New York City. Nebraska welcomes General Pershing's return, not alone because of his wonderful military achieve ments, nor as the commanding of ficer of the victorious overseas forces, but as an adopted son. We look upon him out here as one of us, and we love him because we know him. SAMUEL R. M'KELVIE, ' Governor. Frontier County Fair to Be Held This Month Lincoln, Sept. 3. (Special.) Through some error the list of dates for county fairs published in state papers did not contain the dates for the Frontier county fair, which will be "held September 23 to 26, and at tention has been called by the offi cials to the omission. The county fair will be held at Stockville on the dates mentioned above. As it hap pens, the Southwestern district fair is held at Haywood, in the sa-ne county, which has had the effect of mixing up the two fairs. Monster Crowd Attends Celebration at Schuyler Fremont, Neb., Sept. 3. (Spe cial.)

DENIES DEMAND OF NONPARTISAN LEAGUE HEADS Governor Will Not Oust Be atrice Officials Until Ac tion Has Been Taken in Courts. Lincoln, Sept. 3. (Special.) A delegation representing the Non partisan league, to the number of about 75, called upon Governor McKelvie Wednesday in an effort to bring before him the facts re garding the disturbances of a Non partisan league meeting at Beatrice some time ago. The delegation was headed by Jesse R. Johnson of Lincoln .mana ger for the organization in Nebras ka; C. A. Sorenson, league attorney; J. D. Ream of Broken Bow, Mil ton Young of Beatrice and Mr. Deitz of the same place, who did most of the talking. A set of resolutions passed at a meeting since that time and also another set passed at the meeting in Brok en Bow, condemning the action of the so-called mob which broke up the meeting at Beatrice was given the governor, asking that he take action to remove the chief of po lice and mayor of Beatrice for fail ure to give the meeting protection at the time of the disturbance. Will Not Act. The governor told the delegation that it was his purpose to give pro tection to all meetings conducted along right lines, but that the statutes provided that where an assault had been made, as in the case at Beatrice, the courts were to be called upon, and until that recourse had been taken he would not act. The courts, he said, were for the protection of the people and the people must go to those courts for their protection. Mr. Deitz insisted that the gov ernor ought to remove the officials who had refused to give protection to the meeting or arrest those who assaulted those in attendance, but the governor said he believed that he had a better method. He said that while even the newspaper men had never been told, he had called into his office a number of peace officers who had refused to do their duty or had been negligent in their duty, and admonished them that he would stand for nothing of that kind. The result had been that those officers, understanding the attitude- of the governor' that a second offense would mean a loss of their office, had gone out and made good offi cers. While the governor did not say that he had had the Beatrice offi cials before him, he called attention to the fact that the meeting held at Pickrell, in Gage county, had not been disturbed. Governor McKelvie assured the committee that every protection would be given the meetings of the league. Cannot Afford the Honor. The fact that Washington butchers are charging 100 per cent higher for meats than is being asked in other sections of the country may explain why it is so difficult to get good men to run for congress.

Edwards arrived yester day afternoon to begin his work here as health commissioner, suc ceeding Dr. E. T. Manning, who resigned several months ago.

The new health commissioner has been surgeon in charge of Camp Mills, N. Y. Nebraska Congressmen Asked to Aid Kahn Bill Washington, Sept. 3. (Special Telegram.) Guy E. Johnson, state engineer of Nebraska, has tele graphed the members of the dele gation in congress from that state asking them to support the legisla tion proposed by Representative Kahn, chairman of the military af fairs committee of the house, pro viding for the continuance of the transfer of surplus war materials, particularly the feature covering parts for motor vehicles. He says such legislation will be of great benefit to Nebraska. Middle West Class and Commodity Rates Fixed Washington, Sept. 3. Class and commodity rates upon export traf fic from the middle west to South Atlantic and gulf ports were decided upon Wednesday by Director Gen eral Hines. They will be substantially the same as the rates to New York on domestic freight and will equalize charges so that southern gateways to South and Central America can compete on equal terms with the east.
