Washington, May 29. Approxi
mately $200,000 has been raised for
the national campaign of Senator
Johnson of California for the re
publican presidential nomination,
Examiner McCabe, treasurer of the
Johnson California organization,
testified today before the senate
committee investigating pre-conven-tion
campaign financing. .
Replying to question? of Senator
Spencer, republican, Missouri, Mr.
McCabe said this total did not in
clude local sums raised over the
country, but he declared that all
other sums would not aggregate
more than a few thousand dollars.
Between $100,000 and $125,000 was
taised for the national fund in Cal
ifornia, the witness stated. He add
ed that of this sum about $50,000 1
had been sent to other states, in
cluding $25,000 to the national John
son headquarters at New York.
Says Hoover Men Spent $300,000
Mr. McCabe declared that Hoove
supporters in California spent "eigh!
or nine times as much as we, at the
lowest estimate $300,000."
v"Money was still coming in then."
Mr. McCabe testified. "But we werei
in constant difficulties meeting the
. campaign of our opponents., Mr.
Hoover ran opposing Johnson there.
Possibly $20,000 has been collected
since to meet the deficit."
Contributors named by the witness
included Henry Flieshhaker, $5,000;
Will Crooker. $4,000, and John H
Rosseter, $2,500. .
"The money was gathered in a
statewide solicitation," Mr. McCabe
continued. ' Asked as to contribu
tions by state officers, he said,
, i "Charles R. Neumiller, a prisor
commissioner, gave $1,000."
Helped Other States.
As to expenditure of California
Mr. McCabe said $2,000 had beer.
1 sent to E. F. Mitchell, Indiana,
probably $5,000 to Montana; ?4.OO0
to Michigan; $3,500 to South Da
kota; $2,000 to North Dakota and
$5,500 to Oregon.
James A. Johnson of California,
' Mr. McCabe said, had authorized
some of i the expennitures, which
made him uncertain as to exact
amounts. To Minnesota $1,500 was
sent, he said.
' Then out of California funds you
sent more than $50,000 to other
states?" Chairman Kenyon ques
tioned. "I'm sure that's about right," Mr.
McCabe said.
"You say that this money was
raised in small amounts?"
"Yes, by public app:alj for
, funds."
Spent $50,000 in State.
"Somewhere around $50,000 was
spent in California then. H'w was
that spent? Did you have chautau
lwjua lecturers?"
" "In our big meetings we paid ex
penses of speakers," Mr. McCabe
replied, adding that printing and cir
culation of printed matter was the
largest item, with little or no money
spent on newspaper advertising.
"Did you see any evidence of ex
penditures by your opponents in the
Hoover campaign r senator Ken
yon asked.
"That was our great anxiety,"
Mr. McCabe declared. "We did not
know how effective it was going to
be. They circularized the whole
state once or twice. They had many
workers, women as well as men
employed in house-to-house canvass.
"They were taking whole pages
of newspaper advertising and we
couldn't tell what we had to do to
counteract it.
"They had a tremendous number
of workers out of Los Angeles. We
had to rely largely on , volunteer
worker. They had the money and
could get them."
"Well, there were some people
induced to work by their respect
and administration for Mr. Hoover,
weren't there?" Senator Kenyon
asked.
1,600 Paid Worker.
"Yes, of course, but there were
great numbers employed," returned
the witness, who said that in Los
Angeles alone Hoover' men had
1,600 paid workers.
"Before calling Mr. McCabe ths
' committee Questioned Frederic Wil
liam Wile, a correspondent of the
Vhiladelohia Public Ledger as to ar.
article written by him that $86,000
had been raised m California for
Senntor Johnson's primary there.
Mr. Wile testified that J. H, Ros
stteri formerly of the shipping
board and William H. Crocker of
V. California had been instrumental in
ising the alleged fund.
. The witness said he had "heard a
good deal to the effect that all candi
dates in California were spending a
good deal of money."
r- "Why didn't you write up the
Hoover business, too?" asked Sena
tor Reed, democrat, Missouri
, - Disputes Johnson Claim.
Wite said that the Philadelphia
Public Ledger had "written that up
exhaustively when Hoover men were
befort this committee."
Mr. Wile asserted that estimates
of expense for Hoover in California
had not reached anything like the
estimates of expenditures for John
ton. .
"I was told," he aid. "that the
- ceiling was the limit for. the John
ion campaign."
Replying to further questions, the
witness said his "paper is support-
ing Hoover."

Announcement a week apro that
Gene Huse, of Norfolk, Neb., had

to this Nebraskan.
According to the Belgian embas

funds for the succor of Belgian
children. As editor and publisher

The twenty-ninth annual conven
tion of the Nebraska League of
Savings and Loan associations was
held at Lincoln Friday afternoon
and evening, and brought together
about J00 delegates from many
cities in the state. The attendance
was the largest in the history of the
league.
The meeting lacked the discour
sive pep which featured the meeting
in Omaha last year, when the ques
tion of endorsing the proposed fed
eral home loan bill provoked lively
opposition and fell by the wayside.
Reference to it at Lincoln was in
cidental only. President W. R.
Adair of Omaha, in his annual re
port said the measure, known as the
Calder-Nolan bill, had not been re
ported from the committees of con-1
gress and that the opposition to the
issuance of tax-exempt bonds' for
the purpose of assisting through
saving and - loan associations
throughout the United States ren
dered favorable action at an early
date doubtful He felt - confident,
however, that; the prineinle em-1
bodied in the measure would be vin
dicated in time.
Seven Millionaire. Cities.
Secretary J.. I. . Fitzgerald of
Omaha, in an instructive report,
placed seven cities in the state in
the millionaire class in association
assets. Omaha tops the list with
nine associations and total assets of
$41,487,546, or about 60 per cent of
the' state's total. Lincoln has nine
associatipns with assets of $8,779,
705; Beatrice,' three - associations,
$3,335,400; Fremont, two associa
tions, $2,847,814; North Platte, one
association; $1,096,453; Columbus,
two associations, $1,036,792; Grand
Island, one association, $1,016,481.
The total assets of the 27 associa
tions in the seven millionaire . cities
is ,$59,579,280, all of which is work
ing for the ownership of homes
within the state.
According to the secretary s sta
tistics, Nebraska stands eighth in
association assets in the United
States, outranking every state west
of the Mississippi river and south of
the Ohio. s

Thousands Pack Carnegie
Hall to Hear Gompers and
Allen in Labor Argument
Right to Strike Is Stressed by Union Leader Who
Characterizes Industrial Court as the "Un-American
Slave Law" Governor Charges "Divine
Right to Strike" Is Wrong. ,.. . N '
Ncw York, May 29. Relations of
capital and labor; the right to strike
and its legitimacy as regards the
effect on the public; the Kansas in
dustrial court law and its significance
to the futii-e of the working man,
were discussed from all angles in a
remarkable debate tonight in Car
t.csie Hall between Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, and Gov. H. J. Allen
of Kansas.
governor Allen's main contention
was that government has the right
to protect the public against strikes
when its welfare is imperilled, while
Mr. Gompers held to the argument
that no law can prevent a man from
stopping work if by doing so he
may benefit himself and his family.
Mr. Gomoers labeled the Kansas in
dustrial court law the "un-American
slave law," and Governor Allen de
tlared he had taken away from Mr.
Gompers his divine right to order
a man to quit work.
Cheers and Boos.
The oratory1 of the debators was
punctuated with frequent cheers and
boos by adherents of each side and
occasional questions shouted from
the floor and the balconies.
In support of the right to strike,
Mr. Gompers declared that the coal
miners' strike took boys out of the
mines, tljat the textile workers'
strike brought children out of the
mills and put them in schools, while
the strike in the needle trades broke
up the sweatshops when laws had
failed to do so.' . .'
Governor Allen s industrial com
mandment was "you shall not con
spire to shut down the industry
necessary ,to the weltare Ot tne
people."
When the general public says we
have had enough of this," he said,
it s over.
No Decision Debate.
"Who controls the divine right to
quit work?" Governor Allen asked.
He was answered with cheers and
boos. ,
The debate called for no decision,
the committees in '- charge having
purposely divided the" house equally
between supporters of each speaker.
Mr. Gompers, in championing
labor's privilege to Strike, electri
fied his partisans when'he said with
emotion, the working man who
ing question generally and the ef
forts made in their localities to de
vise a simple solution for pressing
demands. Mr. Matthews, as chair
man of a committee of the Commer
cial club of Fremont, said that he
had corresponded with the author
ities of various cities seeking light
on the subject, but as yet had not
secured a feasible plan from any
source. In general the speakers
agreed that the fundamental difficul
ties were high building costs, aver
aging $1,000 per room for ordinary
houses exclusive of ground,' and
the increased loans required to
carry the load. ,
Spendthrifts Criticised.
An address on home ownership
and thrift by H. H. Wilson was the
oratorical feature of the meeting.
The veteran Lincoln lawyer, draw
ing on his three score years of expe
rience., arraigned the spendthrift
habits of modern life. He quoted
statistics to show that 60 per cent
of the population of the country, at
the age of 65, are dependent on
somebody else foij support. This is
peril to good citizenship and a dis
quieting condition in a country so
rich as the United States, he said.
He urged the savings and loan
people to bestir themselves and be
come more icalous missionaries of
thrift.
Members Are Taxed.
The question of taxation received
considerable attention. 1 Delegates
reported that in several counties
assessors are insisting on owners of
association shares reporting their
holdings and assessing such shares
at full face value. In several in
stances share holders withdrew their
accounts and turned the money into
tax-free mortgages. By leaving
their money in associations which
convert it into home-making mort
gages, holders of shares suffer a
productive loss of two per cent or
more. By withdrawing it and buy
ing: mortRajres carrying: Xhe tax ex-
fempt clause the holder obtains the
full profits of the contract.
Thus the associations lose ac
counts employed in the same manner
as the indiyidual money lender shel
tered from taxation by the mort
gage tax exemption. The injustice of
this tax system, the speakers point
ed out, lies in the fact that the dol
lar is assessed at the full 100 cents,
while no class of tangible property,
farm land or city lots or improve
ments thereon, exceeds 50 per cent
of current values. Moreover, all
classes of tangible property has
risen Enormously in value under war
wouldn't try to benefit his condition
was "a poltroon to himself and to
society." '
Move to "Unionize Congress.
Governor Allen scored a point
with his friends with the assertion
that if there is to be a government
of justice there can't be any part
greater' than the whole. He alluded
to the attitude of the American Fed
eration of Labor in the approaching
election towards unfriendly office
holders as a "movement to unionize
the congress of the United States."
The Kansas court does noi prose
cute labor, Governor Allen said, but
it protects labor against capital,
capital against labor and the public
against either or both.
A feature of , the debate was
Allen's efforts to get Gompers to
answer this question: ,
Allen Asks Question. (
"When a dispute between capital
and labor brings on a strike affect
ing the production or distribution of
the necessaries of life, thus threat
ening the public peace and impair
ing the public health, has the pub
lic any rights in such a controversy
or is it a private war between capi
tal and labor?"
"If you answer this question in
the affirmative, Mr. Gompers. how
would you protect the rights of the
public?
The labor leader declined to an
swer it, asserting that it was a catch
question. .
At' another time when Mr.
Gompers was referring to the pov
erty of some workers a man .in the
gallery shouted "How poor are
you?"
Gompers Angered.
Gompers was plainly angered at
the question. He demanded the
man's name amid shouts of encour
agement from his followers and
when the labor leader had referred
to the disturber's remarks as a
"cowardly, ungentlemanly insinua
tion" the . labor men shouted with
glee.
One shouted:
"You tell him, Sammy, that's the
stuff." . .
Governor Allen, in conclusion,
charged that Gompers' "remedy for
war is more war."
"Mine' he added, "is peace con
ditioned on the impartial judgment
of respectable government."
influences, while the dollar has suf
fered a corresponding decline it was
said. For tax purposes, however,
some assessors reverse these rela
tive values and insist on making the
dollar carry double the load of tan
gible property, the speaker said.
The adoption of the new constitu
tion, which will empower the legis
lature to classify intangible prop
erty for taxation, is expected to
afford a remedy for these tax in
equalities j ".'

FRENCH AGREE
TO RETURN OF
BODIESTO U. S.
Objections to Removal of U. S.
Dead Waived and Removal
Now Possible Under Spe
cific Requests.
.
Washington, May 29. Under ar.
agreement reached with the French
government, the return of the Amer
icas soldier dead from the military
zone in France will begin after Sep
tember 15.
Ralph Hayes, assistant to Secre
tary Baker, recently returned from
a mission to France to complete ar
rangements, has reported that
French objections finally were
waived in April, removals to be
limited to those bodies for the re
turn of which relatives had specific
ally asked.
Mr". Hayes reaffirms the policy of
the War department to defer , to
wishes of relatives completely. Re
turns from inquiries sent out show
thar 59 per cent of those who re
plied asked that the bodies bj
brought home. Those which remain
in France will be "fittingly and
tenderly" cared for by the govern
ment in Fields-of Honor purchased
for that purpose. The report deals
at length with arrangements for ac
quisition, location and preparation
of these.
Propaganda Suspected.
The report refers to charges that
the motive behind the proposal for
return of the soldier dead was "the
propaganda of the undertakers and
cofiin makers," and the further
charges that activating the move;
ment to keep the bodies abroad was
"the hope of the French to makj
their presence a source of constant
am! substantial financial revenue."
"Specific and sufficient v data,"
says the report, "ha9 not yet been
adduced to indicate that either fear
la K : Ta JJ.
is uuinc uui in jail. ii duua llidl
while some undertakers conducted
a movement for the return of the
bodies they were repudiated "by
the , recognized association of repu
table funeral directors" and that "it
is not true that there exists now in
France any generally prevalent ef
fort to capitalize financially, 'Amer
ican burial places."
Mr. Hayes recommended that the
permanent fields of honor be locat
ed at Romagne, Belleau and Sures
nes in France, the dead to sleep
there without "segregation into dis
tinctive locations on the basis of
rank." Headstones and markers
should be uniform and erected by
the government on advice of a war
memorials council to be composed
of representatives of all interest
ed veterans arid t other . organiza
tions. : Arrangements - should Be
made similarly, he reported, for
erection of hostess houses to ac
commodate relatives of the dead
who visit the plots.

' WiD Not Be Diverted
To Hurt Contractors
Washington, D. C, May 29 (Spe
cial Telegram.) Following numer
ous telegrams from Omaha contrac
tors to the effect that railway execu
tives, in their extremity over the
car shortage situation, have urged
the' Interstate Commerce committee
to divert cars and car transportation
from municipal and highway work
to the railroad field, Congressman
Jefferis has protested to the inter
state Commerce commission that
such an orcW would mean inevitable
ruin to contractors who have large
contracts for shipping material to
Omaha and various towns through;
out Nebraska. ...
He pointed out that such an order
would be serious at any time, but to
issue such an 'order now would tie
up the construction work on bridges
leading to Omaha, which were
washed away by the spring floods.
This would completely sever the
connection between Omaha and the
farming communities of western
Iowa, thereby causing great loss
and inconvenience to both.

der had been issued, and that none
was in contemplation.
points where American dead now
lie in France, Mr. Hayes said he
saw many touching evidences of the
care individual French citizens and
small communities were bestowing
on the graves.
Objections of the French authori
ties to waiving the rigid regulations
in force against the removal of any
of the dead of whatever nationality
from the military zone were based
on practical reasons, Mr. Hayes re
ported. These included unwilling
ness to discriminate between Ameri
cans and the dead of other nation
alities, more numerous and much
more difficult of identification; fear j
ot the ettect upon an already badly
strained civilian morale" movement
of long funeral trains would have;
uncertainty as to the hygienic effect
so great an undertaking involved;
l . 4 f , . j
ior'1ge.?f iway equipment, and
the already congested condition of
railroads in the military zone due
to reconstruction activities.
Under the agreement reached,
Mr. Hayes reported, the American
government assumes responsibility
for adequate sanitary precautions, to
be approved by the French authori
ties, and for making minimum de
mands on rail equipment, 'not over
100 cars, for the purpose to be in
use at any one time. These and
other rolling stock and terminal fa
