THE BEE: OMAIlX, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1920.
NEBRASKA WAR
VETERANS ARE
NOT SATISFIED
State and County Executive
Committee Member Says
Nothing But Action on
Bonus Will Quiet Them.
Willian Ritchie, jr., Omaha attor
ney, an member of the state and
Douglas county executive commit
tees of the American Legion, in a
statement issued last night, declares
fh cnnmi x'-t t.. . r .1..
w,vvv ii(ui9A vciciaus UI lilC
world, war will not be satisfied with
answers received from Senator Nor-
ns and Congressman Jefferis. in re
sponse to a telegram from Douglas
post, urging them to push imme
diate congressional action on a bo
tius for ex-service men.
"In one breath they say they are
willing to do all they can for us and
in the next they say they don't
know how they can do it," Mr.
Ritchie asserts.
Senator Norris, in a reply sent
here yesterday to the request sent
mm Dy Douglas post, said:
"I believe members of the NTe
braska delegation, as well as all
other members of congress, desire
to do everything they can for the
benefit of otr soldiers. At this par
ticular time however, it looks to
me as though it would be impossible
to raise the necessary money for a
$50 a month bQnus without the is
suing of more bonds. I fear an ad
ditional issue of several more bil
lions micht brine on a panic.
"Your statement the Nebraska
delegation n 'passing the buck is
unwarranted and unjust."
Congressman Jefferis stated he
was heartily in favor of the bonus,
but doubted whether it could be
financed.
' Pending for Year.
Mr. Ritchie in criticising the
answers from Washington declares
the tact bonus measures have been
pending in cengress for more than
a year constitutes sufficient evidence
of dilatoriness of congressmen and
senators. Nebraska ex-service men
will be satisfied with nothing less
thin quick action on the bonus plan
backed by the national executive
committee of the American Legion,
he contends.
"We feel we are entitled to this
additional compensation,"' he says.
"We had a reduced earning ca
pacity during the time we were in
the service. In many cases we re
turned to find our positions held by
others who had not entered the
service, or our business absorbed by
competitors who did not join the
colors. We found the cost of living
nearly doubled. We found ourselves
several rounds on the ladder lower
in the line of promotion than wc
had been when we left. We found
everyone else had received increased
compensation during our absence.
,We found it would require some
substantial assistance to place us
in an equal position with our com
petitors who remained at home, and
that the average savings of those!
of draft age who remained at home
was $50 per month.
Railrnnrl Deficit Mcf. I
"We found the government had
paid billions of dollars to make up
the railroad deficit, thus insuring to
capital and property which the
government had drafted as great a
return as they had secured before
the war. We found congress had
granted an increase in pay to the
men in the railroad service and had
made that increase retroactive. We
found shipyard employees and
government employes in political
positions had , received large in
creases in pay and in many in
stances such increases had been
tetro-active. We heard no complaint
4n congress on account of such large
expenditures and made no com-.
plaint ourselves.
"We found the British govern
ment had been loaned by this coun
try $10,000,000,000 and had paid a
good bonus to the Canadian sol
diers. We found that the govern
ment had postponed the payment of
the interest on the billions loaned
Great Britain for a period of several
years. We know if the war had con
tinued for a few months longer
many times the amount which it
would take to give us a fair start in
life would have been expended and
that no question would have been
raised by congress or by Wall
Street as to the ability of the
government to raise these additional
funds.
"We feel it is a matter of justice
that we should have this additional
compensation and that it is within
the power of the government to give
it. We know congress has been
di hatorv and not diligent in secur
ing, relief for the returned service
men..
Grandfather's Love,
Aided by Mumps, Foils
Court and Parents
fVU;i1 Neh Xfarrh 26 fSoe-
cial.) Love of Frank Murphy for
Nathan Bouslaugh, his grandson,
has necessitated action in the courts

home in Onawa, la., to visit the

When the time came for the lad

want him to go and was deaf to the
appeals of the parents. They have
instituted a naDeas corpus proceed
ing, but the court at present is
powerless to interfere, as .Nathan

Airship Frightens Cat;
Believed Dead 3 Years;
r if on t
Back tor o More Lives
Auburn, Neb, March 26. (Spe
cial.) Three years ago an airplane
hovered over the home of H. A.
McAdams in this city, while the
family cat, a black and white feline
named "Bunch," was drinking water
out of a dish in the kitchen sink.'
The cat glanced up, saw the fly
ing machine hovering in the air and
in its fright leaped out a window
and disappeared.
Members of the family, when the
missed the animal, believed it had
been frightened out of one ' of its
nine lives, and forgot it. One day
this week the animal appeared at
the hqme, three years after its dis
appearance and went to the sink
where it resumed slaking its thirst
out of the same dish, but not the
same water, as if nothing had
happened in the interim.
Now the McAdams family are
wondering whether the animal has
resurrected and come back to lead
its remaining eight lives after hav
ing been dead three years.

i
Fremont. Neb.. March 26. (Spe
cial.) An outdoor athletic carnival

Stecher's service in the navy dur
ing the war won him popularity
among the county's former service
men. Plans for the welcome home
were made following the champion's

Legion posts in Nebraska will be
asked to send athletic teams to Fre
mont to compete in the carnival.

Sunday Movie Issue
Stirs Women Voters
In Fremont Election
Fremont, Neb., March 26. (Spe
cial.) Sunday movies are a menace
to the social and moral interests of
a city and a danger to the children,
young people and college students,
declares the Fremont Woman's club
in resolutions protesting against the
proposed opening of the motion
picture theaters here on the Sabbath.
The club is already in the city muni
cipal campaign with two women
candidates for the school board and
has pledged its membership to aid
in the fight for a closed Sunday.
Circulation of petitions by movie
menand liberal leaders to open the
movies resulted in every minister in
the city taking part in a house-to-house
canvass for signers to a
counter petition protesting against
the proposal. Fremont does not have
the initiative and referendum so the
city council must pass upon the
question. . ,
Mayor Guy Hinman favors the
open Sunday on the grounds that
it would keep Fremonters away
from the dangers of Omaha.
Lindsay Woman Killed
When Auto Turns Turtle
Lindsay, Netf., March 26. (Spe
cial.) Miss Caroline Goehry was
instantly killed in an automobile ac
cident 8 miles south of this city.
She was in the car alone when it
turned a complete somersault,
throwing her out and crushing her
skull and killing her instantly. Miss
Goehry was about 20 years old and
had been keeping house for her
father, FreM Goehry, who lives on a
farm 10 miles from town. The ac
cident occurred on a level stretch
of road.

Beatrice, Neb., March 26. (Spe
cial.) While wife No. 1 and wife

day for a man named Henderson,
to whom each claimed t6 be mar
ried, police located him in a bar
ber shop. He had been informed
that a search was being made for
