PREDICTS DEMOS WILL ADOPT BEER AND WINE PLANK Personal Liberty Foremost Issue In Campaign, Senator Lewis Declares. Chicago Trlbuns-Omataa. Bee Leased Wire. Aurora, 111., May 17. The demo cratic national convention will adopt a plank favoring state local option on light wines and beer, former United States Senator J. Hamilton Lewis said in the course of a conversation with an Aurora friend. "Personal liberty" he said, "will be one of the foremost issues in the presidential campaign. The republi cans will try to straddle by declar ing that they are for the constitu tion of the -United States. But the voters won't be fooled. The demo cratic party believes' that states that want total prohibition should have it. Those that don't want it should not be compelled to accept it." Senator Lewis who has been en dorsed by democrats for vice presi dent said that Wilson will be the democratic candidate for president if the republicans "insist on making the league of nations the paramount issue in the campaign." "They will find that he is not the feeble man they think," said the senator, "but on the contrary will discover he has the same great in tellect and force of character with which they have so often coped un successfully. "As the campaign goes on, it will become more and more evident that the democratic party as always is making the fight for the people as against vested interests and en trenched privilege." Stolen Booze Will Go Back to Victims of Highjackers Now Held The $10,000 wouth of choice im ported wines and -whiskies, which nolire recovered Saturday after noon when they located a highjack ers plant at SVi soutn inirtietn street, will be returned to Louis Nash, 3807 Burt street, and D.

Defective Mail Service Not All Up to Postoffice Urbana, O.,' May 17.-r-Defectivc mail service alone is not responsible for the failure of many persons to receive their mail. There are other reasons. Here are some of them: One postcard bore a message to "Dear Ruth" from "Mother," but the card was not addressed. ' Another card to "Dear Niece" was from "An,nt Jen." It. too, bore no address. . A third card, although addressed to "Miss ," bore no sigr of an address besides the name of the miss. t , The name and street address of the person to whom it was written was found on another postcard, but the name of the town, or city, was missing. AJ1 of which goes to show that carelessness causes many postcards and letters to remain forever unde livered.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Mire. rjiiica . Washington;' May 17. With gaso line and fuel oil consumption far outstripping production, the supply is likely to become exhausted and the country is liable to face a liquid fuel oil famine, according to Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines. "The time has arrived when, with crude oil higher than it has been for 50 years, inefficiency in the produc tion and manufacture of . petroleum should not be countenanced," said Dr. Manning. "Petroleum and its products should be reserved for those uses for which it is particu larly adapted and for which there are no substitutes. "While the year 1920 began with an increased oil production, accord ing to the geological survey, the consumption has increased so much faster that in January, February and March it wars necessary to take 3,373,000 barrels of crude oil from storage to meet the current needs. Decline, In Production. '"In the United States the yield of the north Texas fields has apparent ly reached its maximum and, is now on a decline and the 1920 production is likely to be less than in 1919. Pe troleum fields in Louisiana have proved to be large but not as ex tensive as many had anticipated. "The consumption of all petroleum products has increased at an enor mous rate. ' During 1918 compar atively few automobiles were built, therefore there was not as great an increase in the. automobiles in use in 1918 and in 1919 as in the pre vious years. But in 1919, 1,500,000 automobiles were built, which will, be in use during 1920, while-the auto motive industry, is more active than ever before. It is, therefore, to1 be anticipated that 1920 will prove to be a year of enormous consumption of gasoline.

Large fields occur in Mexico, Vene zuela, Colombia, Persia, Russia and potential fields are known to occur in other parts of South America, Africa and Asia. Of these fields those in the Americas are nearly all under the control of Latin-Ameri-ican governments, whil4 tha others in other continents are mostly under the control pf the British, French and the Netherlands governments; with the exception of fields in the former Russian empire. Relief in Mexico. "As far as the United States is concerned, however, the most im portant sources of foreign supply are in the Latin-American countries, especially those bordering the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, that is, Mexico, Venezuela and Co lombia. Mexico contains Jarge quantities of oil which qan be read ily obtained, provided no restric tions are placed upon the exploita tion of those fields. Oil is present in this region sufficient to meet our needs for many years to come. "The oil shales of the United States, particularly those of the Rocky Mountain districts, contain potential quantities of oil in beds which are richer than those of Scot land, where shale has been reported for many years. Ihese shales are capable of yielding many times greater quantities of hydrocarbons than have ever been extracted in all the oil fields of the world, accord ing to the estimates of the geologi cal survey. Yet this industry is in its infancy." SLEEP DISEASE CLAIMS WOMAN AND BABY HERE Two Are Victims of Dread III ' ness On Same Day in v This City. Sleeping sickness claimed ,two in Omaha Sunday.

Nw Tors; Tlmee-Ohlrago Tribune Cable I'epjrngnt, iwiu. , Harbin, May 16. More concilia tory actions by the Japanese towarl the Siberians have been evident it the last few days. The railroad from Vladivostok tc Nickolsk, which had been operated by the Japanese for 35 days, since they took Vladivostok on April 5, was returned to Russian control. Russian railroad men returned to- work on the line and regular train service was resumed. The Japanese, however, are in a position to retake the road at any time and resume its operation for military purposes when they see fit. The Siberian troops either have .been disarmed or have fled to the hills. In the Vladivostok-Nickolsk district there are about 10,000 Russian red troops and about 30,000 Japanese who are being reinforced from time to time. As long as the Moscow govern ment refuses to fight the Japanese, the Siberians have to do as they are told, as Japan dominates the situa tion. The Japanese, however, also have ' the Urusult river to Russian con trol and General Moy, commanding Vladivostok, has issued a procla mation predicting withdrawal of the Japanese military forces. The Rus sians, however, put little faith in these Japanese promises which are contingent on the cessation of hos tilities in the transbaikal region. While the Japanese proclamation is regarded by the Russians as in dicating a less belligerent attitude when combined with the return of the railroads and the slackening of the movement of Japanese troops into Siberia, the Russians are in doubt. They recall that in spite of assurances the Japanese suddenly seized Vladivostok and other Siber ian cities and disarmed Russian troops.
