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.

The decrease of $6.000,000-in bond

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

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.) The eighteenth annual Old
Settlers' picnic of Colfax county,
combined with the homecoming cele
bration, to bring one of the largest
crowds in the history of the city to
Schuyler. Daniel McLeod delivered
the welcome address and Harry E.
Phelps of Howells responded. The
address of the afternoon was made
by A. Z. Donato of Wahoo.
Nebraskan in Washington.
Washington, Sept. 3. (Special
Telegram.) Richard E. Brega, jr.,
son of a well-known attorney of Cal
loway, Neb., was one of Judge Kin
kaid's visitors Wednesday, the lat
ter having appointed young Brega
to take the examination for admis
sion to the naval academy. Mr.
Brega is on his way to Annapolis,
where he will prepare for his exam
ination next spring.
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. Galveston

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
