IV A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BUK: AFKib 4, 1ZU. SHOWDOWN FIGHT ON TRAINING BILL SEEN IN SENATE Wadsworth and Lodge Deter mined There Shall Be No j Dodging Issues Like ' House Did. $y ARTHUR SEARS HENNING Chlrafo Tribnne-Omaba Be Lcaaed Wire. Washington, April 3. There is to be a showdown in the senate on the question of universal military train ilig. 1 At a conference of Senator Lodge, the republican leader, and Senator Wadsworth, chatrman of the com mittee on military affairs, it was de termincd that there shall be no dodg ing of the issue in the senate as there was in the house. ;- Senator Lodge announced that the army reorganization bill, containing trie provision for universal training, would have the right of way in the senate beginning next Monday, j For the first time there will be an exhaustive discussidn of the merits Of the question including considera tions of national defense, benefits to the youth of the nation and the cost of the system and of the entire mili tary establishment. Confident of Approval. ; "Universal training is in the bill and it is going to stay there, unless the senate votes it out," said Sena tor Wadsworth. The opposition to universal train ing will concentrate on pleas of economy, endeavoring to show that the system will cost from $400,000, 000 to $500,000,000 and raise the cos of the military establishment to more than $1,000,000,000 a year. The proponents of the plan, how ever, are armed-with official figures estimating the cost of the training alone at $100,000,000 in 1921 and increasing to the maximum of $131, 000,000 in 1926. They also will show that with universal training it will not be necessary to maintain so large a regular army and that the cost of the entire military establish ment, including universal training in 1921 would be $645,000,000 compared with $989,000,000 asked by Secretary of War Baker for the army for 1921 without universal training.

New York, April 3. Although it is asserted that no individual is short . Stutz sales to any great ex tent, the rumor persists that a prom inent steel man is caught and will be squeezed for more than $5,250, 000, unless 'the stock exchange in tervenes. ; The steel man,; so the story goes, is-known in Wall-street to have sold 10,000 shares of Stutz Motor Car company stock at $125, after getting oral assurances of the delivery to him at a slightly higher figure in the event that the- stock rose. But when' tlie Stutz stock began its' pyrotechnic ; advance the steel man was informed that the promise he had received could -not be kept, as all the securities were held by Allan A. Ryan and a clique respon sible for the corner. . When the board of governors of the stock exchange placed an em bargo on trading in the securities the quotation was $391 per share. This represented a loss to the steel man of , approximately $2,650,000. Since then trading has been carried on "over the country," with the price increasing to $425 a share, making his loss $3,000,000. "Mr. Ryan's opponent in this his torical stock fight is one of the best known steel men in, America and has had a picturesque career, in which his own "fortune fluctuated in a manner just as do many stocks. Since the war he is reputed to have amassed a fortune of approximately $100,000,000. Former Tammany Chief Will Fight Charges of Children Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Ienaetl Wire.

Omaha women are up in acainst the weather man. Hopes of surpassing all previous fashion parades on Easter morning, were blasted yesterday when the niercurv dropped suddenly to 26 de grees above zero and Forecaster Welsh predicted that it would prob ably slide, even further. Christmas trees and sleighs danced unceasingly before the eyes of Oma ha, persistently forcing spring bon nets and latest modish suits into the background. Snow began falling in Omaha shortly after 8 a. m. and continued for the greater part of the day. Stiff winds swept around corners of high buildings, as pedestrians battled to retain their equilibrium and hats. Comes From Canada. Today's weather comes as a be lated breath of winter from Canada, Forecaster Welsh declared. Barom etric pressure was low, he said. Possibilities of sunshine or an in crease in temperature for Sunday were out of the question, he declared, and this year's Easter will be marked down in history as wintry, to say the least. , The Missouri river showed a slight rise today. Many telephone calls were received, fearing an over flow if the rise continues. Fore caster Welsh scouted the fears of these people. Freezing Weather Ahead. Reports, from Washington indi cate that freezing temperature will prevail in the middle west next week. Ihe snow storm was general throughout the state today. Weather bureau reports said the storm area extended as far west as Salt Lake City. Fears were expressed in railroad circles that traffic may be hampered if the storm continues.

The joint resolution for ratification of the federal amendment for woman suf frage is to be reconsidered by the Delaware legislature next week, probably on Monday, otherwise Tuesday or Wednesday. If immediate reconsideration of such a resolution is taken and the resolution is defeated for the secosul time it cannot be brought up again and is dead so far as the present session is concerned.

Nine men voted for it Thursday and one whjp did not vote changed to no so that the vote could be reconsidered. One favorable member was not present, and four other noes are expected, on good au thority, to swing over. With the week-end for further work, it is still possible that the suffragists will Win.
