RE-ELECT SMITH
PRESIDENT OF
FARMERS' BODY
Conaress -Opposes Plan of
v Shorter Hours and More
Pay as Aid to
, Profiteers.'
The 11th annual three-day con
vention of the Nebraska Farmers'
congress closed at the Hotel Castle
yesterday afternoon with the elec
tion of officers and the adoption of
a series of resolutions touching on
civic and economic matters.
O. G. Smith of Kearney, was re
elected president, Frank Tannehill
of Norfolk, first vice president, and
Charles Graff of Bancroft, second
vice president. M. K. Thompson of
Havclock, was elected third vice
president, replacing A. L. Stoner of
Invale. J. B. Grinell of Omaha, was
re-elected secretary, with the added
duties of treasurer.
Want More Work.
Short work days and weeks, with
increasing pay, were pronounced
, "allies of profiteers ita causing the
present high cost of Irving," by the
congress, which further resolved
that the farmer is ready to go to
lower price levels, but that the farm
er alone should not be affected by
the drop in prices.
Legislation to give county road
supervisorsxontrol of all roads of
the state notNiow -under their con
trol was recommended, and a de
mand that the present constitutional
convention "spped tip the adminis
tration of justice," and that every
felon be tried by a jury as soon as
possible after an arrest is made were
parsed by the congress.
Stop Land Speculation. -,
Members of the constitutiojial
convention Were also urged to make

an effort to destroy speculation in
land and to encourage the owner
ship of farms in the state.
Another resolution passed by the
congress stated that the high perl
cent of moisture in corn, and the
apparent shortage of cars has re
sulted in a damage of from 35 to SO
per cent of corn stored in many ele
vators. Jn view of this condition
the congress recommended that the
state railway commission investigate
the shortage of cars and secure, if
possible, immediate relief.
The longest and probably the most
important resolution, fronT the dele
gates' standpoint, passed favored
legislation for the repeal of the tax
free feature of joint stock land banks
and advocated amendment to the
federal farm loan act to provide for
au increase in the maximum loan
limit by federal land banks from
$! 0,000.000 to $25,000,000, "so that
farmers and ranchers operating
standard farm units may be accom
modated." Sugar Shortage Myth.
C. II. Gustafson, president ofthe
Nebraska Farmers' Union, of t
Omaha, declared that the sugar
shortage in- this country was a
myth, that the 'country is overflow
ing with sugar which is held off the
market, speaking before theNe
! "Sugar beet growers are to meet
this month in Denver, Colo., to or-"
gamze a co-operative marketing
concern, and it. they succeed there
will be fewer sugar shortages," said
Mr. Gustafson.
There are a large number of co
operative elevators, coal yards and
stores in Nebraska, and all are suc
cesses, Mr. Oustatson declared. He
mentioned one small grain elevator
run on a co-operative basis by Vj
farmers which made a total profit
in one year of $22,000.
"There is nothing radical in the
co-operative idea." Mr. Gustafson
said. "Millions of dottSrs have been
taken from Nebraska by stock sales
men, many of them with worthless
stock. If this money were invested
in" a co-operative project, where the
investor would have a voice in its
business, real returns would be received."

First' Air Mail to
Sheriff Is a
But He's
Bill,
Satisfied
Sheriff Clark received a letter yes
terday by the first aerial Chicago
Omaha mail.
"It was a bill for $85, but I was
glad to get it," said the sheriff, who
showed it to many friends and court
house officials.
The letter was a bill to Douglas
county for one International time
recorder, sent out by the company
that makes the instruhients in New
York'. v
The letter left Chicago at 8:29
yesterday morning and was deliv
ered in the sheriff's office at 1:59,

Mother Wants Court to
Annul Marriage of Son
Attempting to annul the marriage
of her son, Mrs. Nora Hoon filed arr
ameuded petition in district court
yesterday, alleging that Dorothy
Weston secured a marriage license,
May 4, 1919, and induced William
Zweibel, son of Mrs. Hoon, to marry
her. Mrs. Hoon alleges that Dor
othy told William that her mother
and brother threatened to "throw
her out" of their home if she con
tinued to "keep company" with Wil
liam.
Mrs. Hoon sets forth that both
Dorothy and William were minors
at the time of the marriage.
The court room of District Judge
Sears was crowded to its capacity
yesterday afternoon to hear the ora
tions in closing the Claude L.
Nethaway case. Nethaway has been
on trial since last Monday on the
charge of conspiracy to murder
Will Brown, the negro lynched by
the mob at the court house the
night of September 28, 1919. ,
The case was given to the jury at
4:30 yesterday afternoon, after three
hours of oratory.
. Nethaway Sheds Tears.
Deputy County Attorney Arthur
Rosenblum opened the argument for
the state. He was followed by H.
B. Fleharty, attorney for Nethaway.
County Attorney Shotwell made the
closing argument for the state.
Mr. Nethaway shed a few tears
while Mr. Fleharty was drawing -to
the jury a picture of Nethaway's
grief over the murder of his wife
in August, 1917. He wept for a few
moments, covering 'Tiis face with his
handkerchief. His sister, Mrs. Beld
ing, came and sat beside him and
also wept.
Mr. Fleharty, in his argument,
quoted a Persian poet, who, he.vsaid.
quoted a man as saying to his God,
"How are you any better than I am
if I do evil and you punish me by
doing evil also."
He quoted considerable poetry.
County Attorney Shotwell began
his argument by assorting that
"Nethaway is not to be tried by
poetry or any fine-spun theories of
what might be, nor yet by any con
templation of shipwrecks that may
strew his life. He is on trial on a
clear-cut issue of conspiracy to
murder the negro, Will Brown." - '
The evidence in the case was con
cluded yesterday noon.
"Glad He's in Hell."
Nethaway denied that he was in
favor of getting the negro in the
way he was captured.
"You were glad they got the
negro, Will Brown, weren't you?"
asked Mr. Shotwell.
'I m happy that he's if hell," said
Midway. -

Brown?"
"Not particularly."
Mr. Shotwell's cross-examination
came finally to the movements of
Nethaway with regard to his wife,
whom he had left about 8 o'clock,
she going to a moving picture thea
ter and he to the riot scene.
"Looking in Crowd."
"You had promised to meet her
at the Brandeis corner after the
show, hadn't yoiV" asked the coun
ty attorney.
"It was understood," said Nctha
way.
"Did you go there to meet hcT?"
"No, but I was looking around in
the crowd for-her. I looked all
through the crowd to find her."
"You went to the place where
tltey were burning the negro's body
at Seventeenth and Dodge streets
about midnight, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Why did you go there?"
"Well, I thought I might find
my wife up there."
"You didn't go there to see them
burn the negro?"
"No, I just took a glance at that."
"When did you find your wife?"
"About 2 o'clock that night."
Wife Not Present.
"And instead of meeting her
where you promised, you were look
ing through the crowd for her?"
"Yes, and I went around looking
at the hotels to find her."
Nethaway's second wife to whom
he was married December 2, 1918
has been conspicuously absent from
his trial. In answer to a question
esterday he stated that she has
been in Chicago since the middle of
December.

Kisses Fiancee Farewell
Jus Before Police Nab Him
Steel bars now separate Frances
McEnerny 712 North Twentieth
street, from his fiancee, Miss Pearl
Johnson, 2927 Laurel avenue.
McEncrny is held at the Central
station on charges of grand larceny
and receiving stolen property. He
kissed his fiancee farewell at the en
trance of Brandeis stores just an in
stant before Detectives Troby and
Haze arretted him.
Police sav McEnerny is wanted in
Elizabeth, N. J., for the alleged theft
of automobile tires and an automo-
TTnlaca rnmrrKsmen ehanae their
attitude, yesterday's celebration ' of
from Chicago to
Omaha of the aerial mail service is
likely to prove not only the end of
the great transcontinental air mail
route, but the finish of the American
mail service itself, according to As
sistant Postmaster General Ottc
Praeger, who came to Omaha ystfr
day morning to witness the arrival
of the first mail plane.
"I am informed," Mr. Preager
said, "that the house committee on
postoffices and postroads, which or
iginates the Postoffice department
appropriations, has refused and
newspapers say by a strictly party
the air mail ap-
fpropriation beyond what it is for
the present fiscal year.
"That appropriation, $850,500, per
mits us to maintain and operate a
route only from Washington to
New York, and from New York to
Chicago, the year through, with an
operation for but a part of the year
from Chicago to Omaha and part
of the year from Minneapolis St.
Paul to St. Louis if all things go
well with the service.
Plafjs Daily Service.
"The plans of the rostoffice de
partment for the ensuing fiscal year
called for a daily air mail service
from the Atlantic to the Pacific in
59 hours against 90 1-2 hours by rail;
from Pittsburgh to Kansas City m
10:40 hours against 24.50 hours by
rail; from New York to Atlanta m
11 hours instead of 26:15 hours by
rail, and from the Twin Cities to
St. Louis in 7 1-2 hours instead of
20:35 hours by rail. .
"I have been turmshea unomciany
with two reasons why the appro
oriation for the air mail has not
been increased for this proposed ex
tention: One iVlhat congressmen
want to save money to the people,
and the other is that" they want to
let a separate department ot air, in
stead of the Postoffice department,
operate the air mad in the future,
"frk-tainlv this attitude cannot
have been takeii on the ground of
economy, because in tne estimates
furnished congress the cost of the
proposed transcontinental service,
with all its feeders, would not ex
ceed the savings made by the reduc
tion in the cost ot distriDution on
trains by $500,000 per year. As a
fact, the air mail has been operated
now for nearly one year and eight
months far below all estimates of
ooeration. and the estimated $3,000,-
000 extension of service would .not
cost the government a cent more
than the cost of train distribution
which the airplane would displace.
To Starve Air Service.
"But the most inexplicable rea
. .. ... , j
son etven is tnat it nas Deen oe-
cided not to increase the air mail ap
propriation beyond what it is for the
fiscal year, because it is proposed to
create a department of air which
would operate the air mail. Now Jt
happens that all the bills for a de
partment of air give such a depart
ment no money for operating an air
mail service of any kind, but pro
vide that the proposed department of
air shall tak- over from the Post
office department, the army, the
navy and any other department
which it would supercede their re
spective appropriations for air op
erations. So if congress starves or
holds down the appropriations for
their departments it to that extent
starves the proposed new depart
ment of air. Congress in effect
would say: You shall have no air
mail to the Pacific coast because it
wants to pass legislation creating a
department of air. Can Anybody see
any connection between cause and
effect in this illogical attitude?
"I might say here that the pro
posed department of air is not de
signed to develop commercial avia
tion, but to combine and make more
proficient, if possible, our military
aeronautics by the creation of a
joint land and naval army of the
air. The Postoffice department does
not " hesitate to advise the public
now that if the operation of the
air mail is taken oufof the hands
of the Postoffice department, it will
meet with a speedy death and all
of the splendid rapid service that
the PoStoffice department has cre
ated through the air mail will be
lost."
Another Identification
'Of Mystery Girl Offered
Another "positive" identification
of the "mystery girl," whose body
was found November 20 in a ravine
15 miles north of Omaha, was made
yesterday by M. Brandt of' Ran
dolph, Neb. v
Brandt identified the beads found
near the body of the girl as belong
ing to his wife, who left him last
June following a heated argument.
He said that during the argument,
the string of beads wa btokey, and
that his wife gathered up "some of
the beads to take awav with her.
He also identified the clothes found
on the 'body of the "mystery girl,"
according to Detectives Trpby and
uoiar wno are sun wonting on tnc
murder case.
Brandt came to Omaha Wednes
day night He said his wifes first
name was Alice and tnat sne may
have changed her name after leaving
him.
The last "positive" identification
and most, promising one toward
solvingf the mystery was that the
murdered girl was Alice Massette,
formerly of Colfax, la.
, Police are still looking for the for
mer sweetheart of the Massette girl.
