Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, candidate for 'president on the democratic ticket; General Leonard Wood, candidate for .president on the republican ticket, and Samuel R. McKelvie candidate for re-election tor governor, spoke to the Chippendale Set in Furniture Pageant . To Be Held by Omaha Concern This Week msur- rnr Ml amusea tne large groover stating that his first insurance policy was taken from the Metropolitan. Following are sonic of the ex cerpts taken trom the many speeches made by. prominent men who at tended the banquet: ' rrancis Rrogan, president of the Chamber of Commerce "Omaha is the metropolis of both Nebraska and Iowa." John L. Kennedy "I take off my nat to an idealist like President Fiske and to the spirit of idealism when there is the practical ability to . carry it out." lir n if . a. louiifr. state insurance commissioner "The I. W W W, W. V. and bolshevists should.be stamped out. They mean destruc tion to all thincs." Dr. J. T. Edwards, city health commissioner "I am looking up to the. time when Omaha will have a municipal hospital. I am glad to see the manner in which the Metro politan, aids the health of 'the na tion." . Criticises U. S. Stand In Mexican Situation (Continued From Tae One.) are maintaining a' totally inadequate force on the border for the protec ,.tion of Americans in the United States. ' "Once before Arizona has beeri made the highway for murderers. The Carraiiza troops are just mur derers. I hope that if the federal government, does not protect Arizo na that the governor of my state dis plays the courage, the manhood, the Americanism to repel by force of arms if necessary these gangs of pandits and murderers." J At the department it was stated ithat no decision .had been reached on Car -anza's ,f7. Aest. It was j staled that previous grants of such $ requests would not be taken as a precedent in this case, however, as ' conditions were different. Agreement Sufficient. Continuing his testimony before a senate subcommittee,, former Am basador Wilson "said that the solu tion" of the Mexican problem might he brought about either by, estab lishment of stable, orderly repub lic1 in- northern Mexico, or by Ameri can intervent'Jn 1 and temporary , occupation at Anr south as Tam pico. If a morally binding agree ment for protection of lives and property of foreigners couli be ob tained from the Mexican govern ment, that would be sufficient, Mr. Wilson said. - He told the subcommittee that he had been informed that Presi dent Wilson had written a plank for insertion in the democratic , platform, stating 1 that peace and I order reign in Mexico, and that his , Mexican policy therefore has been completely vindicated. "President Wilson," said Mr. Wil- son, "took the position that he understood the situation in Mexico and that no one else did. That has been his trouble. He has clung to this obsession in spite of the col lapse of his theory." Blames President. The present policy toward Mex ico is a result, he declared, of the president's "belief that all knowl ldge and power rests in the execu te." The witness said that President 'ilson regarded the statements of mericans with respect to Mxican nditions as unreliable and un- Mudiced. 'Any man who supports the Mex n policy of President Wilson is atriotic and un-American," he de red. "A resolution approving his icy, in the light of Recent events, jld be equivalent to a resolution proving Germany's course in sink- the Lusttania. in both cases icricans were killed; the only dif ience was that in the case of the iAisitaiiia they all died at once, while in" Mexico their deaths "have been spread out over a long period." Johnson Speaks on League Issue to York Audience York, NeS., April 16. United States Senator Hiram W.

Hitchcock asserted that Mr. Mul len was recognized as one of the great political generals. "I have been restraining mvself all week and I may be growing overwrought" tonight," said the sen ator during his excoriation of Mr. Bryan. "One of the issues before us is: Shall we adhere to the reform which we adopted in this state when we enacted the primary law?' " he continued. "We adopted that refor: under the slogan of: 'Let the people rule,' and no man was louder than Mr. Bryan at that time in pro claiming that the instructions given by the people to a delegate should be binding. Now Mr. Bryan of Miami, Fla.. abandons the reform which he said was necessary- thaf the people might rule. " "Bryan Rides a Hobbor." "What sort 'of a platform are we to adopt at the San Francisco con vention? Shall we send democrats who are in line with democracy of the country, or shall we send a man who rides a hobby and who denounces as tools of Wall street all who do not agree with his hob bies? . - "In January Mr. Bryan came gal loping into Washington to the Jack son day dinner and he made it known that he would be for a gov ernment - ownership - of - railroads plank in the platform and we know that there will not be one state dele gation at the convention for that policy. Mr. Bryan also stated that if the democrats in the senate could not compromise with the repub licans over the league of nations, they sJiduld surrender to them. It was an attempt to displace Presi dent Wilson as . leader of the party and it was notice to the republicans that the democrats were going to surrender. If Mr. Bryan must be sent As a delegate, send him to the republican national convention, where they will indorse the Lodge resolution." Denounces Plea to Women. . The senator denounced Bryan's attempt to obtain votes of republi can women in the democratic . pri mary, as colonization of voters, un fair and a corrupt practice. He also stated that a vote for Bryan is 'a vote for a boss who would defy the will of the rank and file of the demo cratic party. Senator Hitchcock said he .had hoped that Mr. Bryan would have filed as a presidential candidate, so that the issue might have heen fought out. He also explained his position on the eighteenth amend ment, by stating that he accepted as final the verdict of the people on the subject of intoxicating liquors and the saloon, and he added that congress may define intoxicating liquor and, having such power, he believed congress will be reason able. He explained that when the people of Nebraska voted dry they did not intend to depuve them selves to the extent that they did and he expressed the - belief that when congress modifies its inter pretation on the alcoholic content, that Nebraska will likewise modify its prohibitory law. , - t He reviewed the league of nations and the fight which was made in the senate ,for its adoption. .

LONDON FAILS TOiSN Mr a i viAFif vAiiit.Avi" is Duty or lNebraskans SATISFY TOURISTlTo Vote for Pershing SEEKING PASTIME ' American Visitors Go to Paris Because, British Hotels Are Unprepared to Ac commodate Them. ;ryar. ana k etr34 By International News Sarvlo. London, April 17. American tour ists are pouring- into Europe at th rate of 1,000 a day. . Paris, however, and8 not London, is reaping the harvest of profit which the coming of these visitors brings. The reason, according to the Daily Express, is because London hotel keepers failed to prepare for X!t invasion and are unable to offer sat-. isfactory accommodations. 'Though Americans are leaving New York as fast as available ships Can take thep," said the manager of l targe Miierican travel agency iu a Daily Express representative, "com paratively few of them seem to get to London. "I consider the. attitude of some of our largest hotels responsible to a great extent for the' unwillingness of travelers to vjsit England. We receive cablegrams and letters every day from people asking for bookings at certain hotels. Look at (he replies we receive when we try to book them." He nicked up two letters from his littered desk, both from leading Lon don 'hotels. One stated, in answer to a requet for rooms on March 28, that they were not available. "The rooms should have been hooked earlier," was the explanation. The second refused bookings for June. "It is too early to tell," it read, "whether we will have the rooms at the time desired." "Both these clients," resumed the travel agent, "are millionaires. How am I to explain to them that they cannot obtain rooms at these ho tels? Americans who come to Eu rope are well able to afford the best accommodation that we can give them, and they will not be satisfied with anything else. The result is that they will avoid London alto gether. Paris will have their busi ness and their money. "We IScpect 125,000 to come this summer. It is estimated that the will spend from $400,000,000 to $500, 000.000. 'One man who left recently was here a month. He spent more than $4,240 on gifts to take to his chil dren, and his expenses here amount ed to as much more. . , "The Americans have made money easily and spend it lavishly. They, however, are used to -the best of .service and courtesy, and they insist on having it. They will not come here and live in rooming' houses. If they cannot have' rooms where they want them and when they want them they will not come at all." Ringleader in Plot Given Four Years' Prison Term H. H. Hatch, alias "R. C. Baker- one of the alleged leaders of a gang, of federal prisoners who was foiled in a plot to escape a few weeks ago, was sentenced to serve iour years in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth by Federal Judge Woodroush when he entered a plea of guilty to a charge of using mails to defraud. .
