NONPARTISAN
CANDIDATES IN
LEAD IN PRIMARY
Five of the Six Men En
dorsed for Constitutional
Convention - Named
Tuesday.
Lincoln, Sept 17. (Special.)
Five of the six men endorsed by
the Nonpartisan league us candi
date for the constitutional conven
tion were nominated at the primary
election Tuesday, out of a field of
25. The fact that the opposition
split its strength among 19 can
didates snd the lightest vote ever
cast in an election in this county
gave the Townley slate a big ad
vantage. I State Senator C. Tetrus Peterson,
one of the 19 independent candi
dates, was high man on the ticket,
while C. C. Flansburg. endorsed by
the league, was second.
In the county precincts outside
of Lincoln, league strongholds cast
a solid block of votes for the slate
of six. The league candidate who
failed to land was B. F. Parmenter
of Bethany, a member of the or
ganization. These were the nominees:
C. Petrus Petrson.
C C. Fnalsburg.
John M. Stwart.
Walter L. Anderson.
. Frank M. Coffey.
George W. Berge.
N. Z. Snell.

mediate steps toward procuring
necessary equipment for legal ex
ecutions, which is still lacking at
the penitentiary, Governor Mc
Kelvie said.
The governors action consti
, tutes the fifth reprieve for Cole and
the first executive clemency for
Grammer. . The other postpon
ments for him were automatic
stays of execution through his su
preme court appeal.
The Nebraska supreme court will
now have time to rule on the habeas
corpus appeal filed by Cole.
Labor Commissioner Holds
Townshin Liahle fnr Ininrv
Lincoln, Sept. 17. In awarding
r $12 a week for four weeks and a
" $13.50 medical bill to Carl Sheeper
for injuries when a road grader
overturned in "A" township, Seward
county, June 27, 1918, State Com
pensation Commissioner Kennedy
has ruled that a township is liable
under the workmen's compensation
law. The award is against the
township. ,
Harry Workman of Beatrice, in
another award, is to get $12 a week
r for 15 weeks and a $10 medical bill
for partial loss of a finger while he
was helping unload a crate of plate
glass for the Woolworth S and 10
ccnt store there. The award is
against the Woolworth company.

tractor to do carpenter work on the
store. When a drayman drove up
with the glass, according to the evi
dence, the Woolworth superinten-
dent asked him to help unload it.

cision. State Rail Body Will Not
Meet With Omaha Council
The State Railway commission
lias declined an invitation to meet
with the Omaha city commissioners
on matters relating to street car
"'service. Commissioner Butler ex
tended the invitation by letter.
T. A. Brown, secretary of the
railway commission, sent regrets
adding that "no good results" would
be accomplished through such a
loint meeunsr.
The state commission assumes full
juristriction over the Omaha street
railway system, according to law, the
city council being without authority
to regulate the company.
Commissioner Butler thought that
by the state commissioners coming
to Omaha and getting their feet un
der the same table with the city com
missioners, a better understanding
could be had of the Omaha situa
tion. Mr. Butler believes that the
skip-stop system should now be
abandoned.

financial assistance from Corpus
Christi, Tex., where a hurricane
and tidal wave have caused an es
timated death toll of 200 and a

vie and George Dayton, acting
mayor of Lincoln. The message

til a reply, is received from a tele
gram to Gov. W. P. Hobby at

Say Conversation
In Foreign Tongue
On Phone Interrupted
Lincoln, Sept. 17. (Special.) Al
though they pay an additional fee
of 25 cents a month each for the
right to use any foreign language
over the line, five patrons of the
Northern Telephone company, of
Cieighton, Neb., infer that their con
versation in a foreign tongue over
the telephone had been met with
interruption for six months in a let
ter to the Nebraska Railway com
mission. The men claim Ray Oak,
another subscriber, is the offending
one.
Demrnd is made that his phone be
taken cut or they will have their
own phones all removed. Protests
to George Salisbury, the local man
age, have been in vain, the letter
says.
The letter was signed by Ludwig
Kumni. Fred Ophis, Jacob Ophis,
C. L. Norton and Louie Helkemeier.

GERMANY WILL
CANCEL UNION
WITH AUSTRIA
Teutons to Swallow Bitter Pill
Prescribed In Allied
Terms.
(Staff Corrnpondi'nt fnlvenuil Service.)
Special Cable Dlnpatch,
Berlin, Sept. 17. Germany will
comply with the demand of the al
lied supreme council to declare nyll
and void the objectionable para
graph in the German constitution
looking to Austria's union with
Germany and providing for Aus
trian representation in the German
Reichstrat, or Council of the Realm,
which may be compared to our sen
ate. Though it is maintained that the
allied demand does violence to the
self-determination of peoples which
is one of the fundamental principles
in President Wilson's 14 points, and
the foreign relations committee is
deliberating today with the govern
ment as to the action to be taken
in reply to the allied note, it can be
said that the German government
considers itself helpless to oppose
the allied demand.
Several members of the cabinet
are for letting the allies carry out
the threat to occupy Frankfort-on-the-Main
in the event of Germany's
refusal, but the majority appears to
be for sending delegates to Paris
empowered in the name of the gov
ernment to make a protocol com
plying with the supreme council's
demands.
"It's a bitter pill, but we are help
less and must swallow it," remarked
one of the leading ministers of the
cabinet. "The foreign relations
committee undoubtedly will come to
the same conclusion today."
Assailants Leave Body of -Murdered
Woman in Road
Salt -Lake, Sept. 17. Mrs., John
Green 23, was murdered late last
night on the Lincoln highway, one
mile east of Tooele and her body
left on the road by her assailants.
Autoists first found the woman's
shoes in the center of the road and
a few yards farther at a side of the
highway came across the lacerated
and bruised body. Mrs. Green had
gone to the outskirts of the town
in a buggy while her husband had
gone to one of the smelters in
search of work.
Mr. Green had given his wife
some money before he left her and
when she was found her purse was
empty. Her horse and buggy have
not been found.
