"We do not 'see," said the major

Kenna, "how the steel corporation
can be such a. beneficial instrument

such an evil instrumentality in the

charges against Poucher.
1 "I met Dr. Poucher in the church
vestibule one day," he said, "and
asked him when he, was going to
see Will Smdtzer and settle his acr
count with him. He didn't say a
word. Just stood there. Finally I
looked him down, and he turned and
went away.' ' ..
:. Attorney Hon'ey sought in the-ex-aminatibn
of B. L. Felton, sexton of
the Central Methodist church; Miss

Arthur . Hobbs, - telephone collector,
and other. .witnesses, to prove that
someone, presumably Poucher, had
telephoned from the church to Oak

He also questioned Poucher close
ly as- to whether he Ead remained in
Oakland overnight on the occasion
of the -meeting with Mr.' .Smeltzer
there,, a meeting that Poucher said
took place in the postofflce .with
Mr.' Delia , Swesey,. sister ipf Mrs.

"I don't lemember," was Pouch

Mr.. diaries E. Yost, Miss Fish
and Miss S'isie Ward testified to
the congenial relations existing be

positions from Lop Angeles wit

Wilt Cut Grain Production
That many farmers of Nebraska
will cut down their grain acreage
this year and seed more of their
land to grass is the opinion of J. T.
Carson of Scribner, who was a visi
tor at the stock yards Monday look
ing' fr feeder cattle.
According to Mr. Orson, the
scarcity of farm help and the high
tost of labor on the farm generally
is the chief reason for this predic
tion. ' . ' V .
This will have 4 tendency to cause
an increase in the production of
live stock. .

leaves plenty of aisle room, was
feature on which nearly every visitor
commented. On the main floor of
the Auditorium a center aisle has
been left with cars displayed on
each side. Running arund the floor,
but leaving sufficient room for dis
play booths on each side, is' an oval
aisle,' permitting 'prospective pur
chasers to make' an entire - circle,
viewing every car, and. then to take
in -those shown on the center aisle.
The same arrangement is used on
the stage and in the annex, with the
exception that the center aisle is
omitted.
Every Car a Fine One."
Clarke G. Powell, manager of the
show, insisted that every car dis
played was a fine car, but honors for
the top position in point of price are
divided by a Locomobile touring car,
listeed at $9,800, and a Pierce town
car, finished in dark blue, with brass
trimmings, which mav be had for
$11,000. Prices range down from the
peak these establish to models sell
inir for less than $1,000. '
Virtually every automobile dealer
in Umaha testified .that the show
this vear is "different." In the past
years, they pointed out, opening day
ras been devoted to looking around,
but this Tear they were pressed
for demonstrations. . ,
Demand Never So Great.
According to veterans inJhe bus
iness here, the demand for cars was
never so great. A large number ot
sales to local people and contracts
for out-of-town dealers were closed
during, the afternoon and evening.

Auto Show Notes
The first thing that strikes the
eyes of visitors at the Auto Show
is the Guy L. Smith exhibit, which
includes two Hudson cars and two
Essex models. All are finished in
brilliant hues, the Hudsons being in
light blue and maroon. The bright
est of all is' an "Essex touring car
painted bright yellow, with nickeled
finish. The appointments of this
car caused nearly every woman vis-'
itor opening day to stop and ad
mire it. The spare tir? cover and
boot - for the top are watered silk
that matches the body color.
One of the latest developments in
automobile equipment is seen on
one of the Coles, shown tn the
main. floor at the Auditorium. This
is a permanent open leather top,
equipped with sliding windows that
may be pushed, forward to make a
semi-enclosed car. A sedan and
roadster complete the display. All
are equipped with disc wheels.
Noticeable on TTic main floor at
the show is the Ford exhibit, placed
and maintained by the Omaha fac
tory branch o the Ford Motor Car
Co. This is one of a very few auto
mobile shows at which Ford" cars
are,' displayed. According to auto
mobile dealers, the sentiment at the
Detroit headquarters of the com
pany is that Ford cars are too well
known to make showing them -4
profitable. It is Suggested at the
Omaha show that the fact that Ne
braska and Iowa lead the country
in pr capital ownership of automo
biles has made a showing of Fords
here attractive.
Distinction for havina been the
first to pass- into the automobile
show this year went to C. I. Graur"
ot Jidgar JNebr. Mr. uraul was at
the head- of a long line of Visitors
that, were awaiting "e opening at 2
p. m. yesterday. He is proprietor ol
the Edgar Automobile Co.
Not . the least place of interest tt
the show is the space reserved for
trucks. A commercial car for every
need is on display and merchants
and farmers kept the aisles crowded
yesterday as they sought the one
best suited to their needs. A large
number of heavy trucks with dump
bodies are included.
Early in the evening yesterdaytvis-
itors discovered that the best view
of the show1 is that obtained from
the balcony. Many enjoyed long
rests there, listening to the music

closed cars. It "is the only car that has a body
mounted on the side oft the frame for sale on the
American -market. This feature is well worth in
vestigating as it eliminates all possible body squeaks.

through the aisles, past the striking
ly colored cars. From this vantagt
point the main hall and stage are
spread out in a brilliant active pan
orama. .. ' v
The annex at the show, which is
entered through a hall at the' right
of the main entrance, was voted one
of the mbst attractive section at the
show. Attractive displays of pleasure
cars fill this part of the show. The
lighting effect and Japanese decora
tions set the cars off to good ad
vantage. A ' .
One of the demarkable features
of the show, according to automo
bile men. is the large number oi
show chassis, with parts exposed.
that are displayed. These are driven
slowly by small electric motors,
demonstrating the action of every
part of the motor, transmission and
drive. A Paige chassis, so equipped
finished in black and white, drew a
large amount of attention.

She alleges that the interests of
