Spe cial.) A petition to congress, signed by 1.000 citizens of Nebraska re questing that congress "take such steps as it deems necessary to bring about justice and humanity in Korea," was sent yesterday by Governor McKelvie to Senator Nor ris. to be presented to congress. The petition was signed by practi cally all the important officials of the. state. The petition is remarkable in its scope, in that it is sponsored not Only by prominent business and pro fessional men and officials of the state, but it is supported by the sen timent of the leading educators. Chancellor Avery and some of the best known deans and professors of the University of Nebraska were among its supporters. Although the petition is directed against the atrocities of the Japanese rule in Korea, yet it has no connec tion with the peace treaty and the league of nations. Thus both sup porters and opponents of the league of nations signed the petition. Judge Cornish of the supreme court went so far as to add a phrase under his signature, "with understanding not to be considered as against the league of nations." Prof. Fossler of the university did the same.

A physician was called and with the aid of a stomach pump her life was saved. Washington, Mach 30. (Spe cial.) General Pershing conies hon estly by his sterling qualities, his courage and loyalty. The following story of the elder Pershing's devo tion to his flag and which illustrates the courageous spirit he bequeathed to his son, John, was told by a life-long friend of the family at a private dinner recently, and gives an intimate view of the splendid Per shing stock: In 1861 there lived in Linn coun ty, Missouri, a young farmer who had emigrated from the Keystone state. Missouri was not a comfort able place for loyal Americans in those days, but this young man was both loyal and brave. He went to the nearest town to buy a flag. There were stars and bars aplenty, but no stars and stripes, so he pur chased the necessary materials and took them home to his wife, who made the flag, while he erected the pole. It was a sightly place, and the Stars and Stripes could be seen for miles around. Neighbors Plan Attack. One day soon after the flag was raised the elder Pershing saw "Uncle Jimmy," a local celebrity, ambling toward him over the plowed field. After some awkward com monplace Uncle Jimmy said: "See ytu've got a flag up." "Yes, thats my flag, and I'm proud of it." "I tell ye, Mister Pershing, the bovs 'round here don't like it. Now I don't want anything to happen, so I 'lowed I'd come over to let you. know the boys are comin' over to night to take it down." "Are they?" said Pershing with spirit. "Well, Uncle Jimmy. I thank you for coming, but you go back and tell the boys before they come for that flag they'd better make some arrangements for a few fu nerals." Pershing immediately called a council of war, consisting of him self, a German from Pennsylvania and a young Irishman from New York. The two agreed to stand by their leader in defense of the flag. There were three guns on the farm, and the modest house was put in readiness to meet the expected at tack that night. Night came but "the boys" appeared not, and for two long weeks the Stars and Stripes floated defiance to all who would have torn it from the staff. Union Troops Arrive. Then something really did hap pen. One morning as the train came around the hill its whistle shrieked until the sound reverber ated through the Missouri valleys. The engine pulled the first division of a train of Union soldiers, in open cars. The soldiers went mad at the sight of the first Stars and Stripes they had seen since leaving St. Louis. Every bayonet and sabre had a cap upon it, and such cheering had never before startled the echoes of those quiet hillsides. Soon a sec ond train, bearing another division, came in view, and the flag waved to these the same inspiring wel come and received in return a like etithusiastic response. Meantime the young farmer, a general without epaulets, with his wife and two children and his entire military staff of the German and j Irishman, stood proudly under the I waving Stars and Stripes. Years after, when the young farmer, then grown old and gray, related the incident to an intimate friend, he was asked: "And what did y-u do when the soldiers were cheering?" "Why, I just cried like baby," he admitted. The name of the young farmer was John F. Pershing, and the baby boy who stood at attention under the flag was also named John. He is now General John J. Pershing. Suspend Trading Two Days " New Yor:;, March 30. Members of the New York coffee and sugar exchange today voted to suspend trading next Friday and Saturday.
