Trial.

The hearing in the appeal of Allen
Vincent Grammer to the United
States circuit court at St. Louis

mother-in-law, Mrs. Lulu Vogt.
The clerk of the federal court
here has also received notice that

national Revenue George C. Loomis
s seeking to collect an additional
S2.000 income tax from C. W. Wat
tles of Omaha for the year 1918,
will be heard in May. Mr. Wattles'
defense is that the $2,000 represented
stock dividends which are not tax
able as income.
The circuit court will also hear
Charles M. Thompson and Clyde
Smith, convicted in Omaha in the
federal court in the famous "wild
horse" case, on May 3.

LINCOLN LAWYER
COMES OUT FOR
GEN. PERSHING
Claude H. Wilson Advocates
Unanimous Endorsement of
A. E. F. Leader's Candi
dacy by Nebraskans.
Lincoln, Neb., April 7. Claude
H. Wilson, prominent attorney of
Lincoln, today announced support
of Pershing for president, and ad
vocated endorsement of the gen
eral's candidacy by Nebraska republicans.
"Nebraska has been honored
greatly by Pershing," said Mr. Wil
son, "and we should not fail in this
opportunity to honor him by pre
senting his name to the republican
convention. I cannot believe that
Nebraskans will falter in the sup
port of the candidate of their own
state."
Following is Mr. Wilson's state
ment: "I am expressing my preference
for Pershing of Nebraska chiefly
because I have faith in his adminis
trative 'ability. No one can logical
ly say that Pershing is not qualified
as an administrator, diplomat and
statesman, for the presidency. On
the contrary, he has given greater
proof of his ability in these lines
than any of his opponents.
"There is no doubt that Pershing
would appreciate fully the" honor
conferred upon him by his home
state, by a unanimous endorsement
at the primaries, and it is entirely
fitting that we, as fellow Ne
braskans, should unite in conferring
that honor.
"We cannot overlook the fact
that Pershing is 'Pershing of Ne
braska' before the voters of the
United States, and we may profit
ably reflect on how the other states
of the union will scorn Nebraska if
she fails in support of her own son,
or how they will recognize Ne
braska and respect her action if she
follows the course of a loyal state
in granting overwhelming support
to a loyal son. I hope Nebraska
will do her full duty and give to
Pershing an overwhelming endorse
ment for the republican presidential
nomination at the primaries."

Aunt Fights Father
For Possession of

Lincoln, Neb., April 7. (Special.)

mouth has filed in district court an
answer to the habeas corpus pro
ceedings instituted against her by
William Lemke to obtain possession
of his 9-year-old son, Paul.
Mrs. Guthmann, who is the boy's
aunt, alleges that he was given to
her by his mother on her deathbed,
when only 3 weeks old. Her an
swer states that the boy was taken
to Flattsmouth with the consent of
the father and that he has been
given schooling and a good home.
Mrs. Guthmann alleges that the
father, though financially able, is not

the boy. He has no desirable home,
she states, no person to care for the
child, and has failed to provide his
other children with proper school
ing. '
