THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, JUNK 3, 1920. STIR CAUSED BY LOVDEN PROBE IS ALMOST DEAD "Presidential Row" Loses In terest in Disclosures of Money f:Spent in Missouri Was 'i Business Transaction. CBleato TribUM-emahs B LaM4 Wire. -Chicago. Tune 2. Interest 'alonB Presidential Row" today centered jii the testimony of Nat Goldstein aiid Robert Moore of Missouri, who fcfjftified before the senate commit- that they had been paid $2,500 eifch by Louis Emmerson, campaign manager for Governor Lowden. Early in the day predictions were freely made that these disclosures meant the collapse of the Lowden boom. Managers, of other camps, chiefly that of Senator Johnson and the papers supporting Johnson, were especially vociferous, claiming thlat Governor Lowden might as wjfcll retire to the executive mansion iny. Springfield and forget he ever was a candidate. ?"Howeyer, as the day wore along, the affair began to cool off and by nffcht fall it was not creating a rip ple. Governor Lowden issued a statement to the effect that the dis tribution of campaign funds 'had ben left to Louis Emmerson, his manager, with instructions that they v-'ere to be used for legitimate pur poses. The governor said the money had been placed to the credit of the Missouri men last January, long be fore there was any thought of either oi-' thenr becoming a delegate. He sirid he did not want their vote or iifpport, or the support of any man who required bribing or considered he, was being' bribed. He said he expected to pay when honest work was given in his behalf or men Yjerking for him gave their time ot wjre put to expense. In such cases they would be reimbursed, It was a--pure business, transaction. i Spending Own Money. :.iEarly editions of the papers op posing Lowden came out with scream heads announcing there was wild camp in the Lowden camp, but other people were unable to discover anything approaching panic. It was stated that the governor was Spending his own -money and, that he was not buying any votes or delegates. It was given out that tf)i governor did not want the sup port of any man who felt he had btfen unduly influenced in any way. two of the Lowden de-legates frm Missouri were unseated by the com inittee on contests today, but he gained in the Mississipoi delegation. :A'iCol.

Settle 32 Contests. The net results of the day's work were to bring the number, of con tests disposed of up to 32 out of the 137 filed. ine ueorgia and Florida cases continued to hang fire in subcom mittee and there was a disposition evidenced in the full committee meeting today to check the prac tice of referring disputes rather than having the national committee de cide tnem nrst hand. Ihere was some discussion on. the ' subject but further references to subcommit tees were made later in the day, and when the session adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning the list of "cases in subcommittee had been supplemented by the references of the eight congressional districts of Missouri, where the regularity of the district convention call is to be determined. Many of the committeemen ex pressed their satisfaction with- the decisions , today, . although there were ' proposals to straddle- some contests and split the votes of dele gations between the contestants and contestees. Committeeman Howell of Nebraska led the sentiment that the committee would check the quadrennial flow of contests if it were to make definite decisions and send word back into the districts that no compromises could be tol erated. The committeemen who favored this course argued success fully that by splitting delegations to settle contests, contests were be' ing invited.

Mr. Camp bell indicated that the record of the hearings might be translated to the White House for appropriate action by the president. Mr. Palmer paid his respects to the committee of attorneys who signed the report made public last week accusing the department of improper practices in its raids on .alien reds.

He touched on the high cost of living, radicalism and the league of nations. He declared he would deny "the right or power of certain republican newspapers to read out of the re publican 'party those with whom Lincoln's spirit ever abided and for whom he was ever striving." If given the power, he said, he would deal with those who created the cause of . radicalism wjth the same heavy hand. New Mexico Democrats To Elect Delegates Today Roswell, N. M., June.; 2.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leaned Wire. Washington, June 2. Governor Edwards of New Jersey, the person al liberty " candidate for the demo cratic presidential nomination,' now finds himself between two fires and has determined 'to wade into the mixup at the ban rrancisco con vention with guns loaded in each hand. With the administration .. forces determined to make short work of Mr. Bryans efforts to force a dry enforcement plank in the platform, they must, to be consistent, turn their guns also on Governor Ed wards who will be on; the field b1az- li'ig-.away for a plank whicjh'wil! give the "American citizen the right;" to determine whether, he should have light' wine or.beer. At least, that would: be the ffcct .'of thfcnersona liberty campaign Cvef iterVEdwards is making. : ' ' '- Having red that the m-esident and cabinet, together with party leaders of- administration persua sion, insist that the liquor issue be et entirely a one in the plattorm, Governor Edwards has buckled his armor on tighter and is getting ready to lead the fight for a personal liberty plank and his own nomina tion in person. Open Headquarters Scon. Governor Edwards'' announced through the organization in Wash ington today that headquarters for his campaign are. to be opened in the Palace Jiotel at San Francisco early in June and that he . would go to San Prancisco'soon afterward as one of .the big four delegates from New Tersev. It is the task of the administration leaders to steer a course between Bryan and Edwards on the issue and the only way they see to do it with out landing on dangerous rocks is to keep all mention of the liquor is sue out of the party .platform. Mr. Bryan is going to have the help of the prohibition forces at Ssii Francisco and Mr. Edwards will have an army of wet boosters behind him. Discussing the situa tion from the prohibition standpoint today, Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, insisted that both parties should incorporate a dry enforcement plank. "Wet Plank Doomed." v - "The wet plank is doomed," aid Wheeler. "It is onfy a question whether any plank win be .inserted. Now that prohibition is in -the -constitution it will be proper, patriotic and courageous tor both parties to endorse it. Its results, as evidenced by hundreds of closed jails and workhouses, and in the increased wealth, health and happiness of the people, is a -complete-justification of the Cause. "To" fail to make a strong declara tion at least for law enforcement would be a great mistake. Governor Coolidge proved the popularity and patriotism of that issue in Massa chusetts. When any new. policy of government .-is being established there is more or less of unrest and lawlessness, but if will not be. lonar before any recognition of the bever age liquor traffic by a national party platform will be as unpopular as an attempt to legalize slavery."

A condition is presented of notorious and infamous violation of the law. The saloons run wide open and sell whisky openly and 3 or 4 per cent beer. "One can go right in and order whisky over the counter and' get it?" asked Senator Kenyon. "Certainly," was the reply. Judge Bonniwell described this condition as. prevailing in Lackawanna. .Lu zerne and Schuylkill counties, and reiterated that Mr. Palmer's law partner is district attorney there. Why, he said, three or four men are declared to have made $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 out of this campaign, by reason of the relaxa tion of the prohibition enforcement. A. J.

"I would have elected my dele gate ticket and defeated Guffey for national committeeman," C declared the witness, "but for the relaxation of law enforcement during the cam paign before that the law had been well enforced. You can tell the ef fect of the loosening by the price of whisky. It was from $1,600 to $1,900 a barrel before the campaign; in the middle of the campaign it fell to $900 a barrel, watered down to 75 proof, it was sold at 60 to 75 cer?ts a glass." "You're going to make Palmer president if you go on with this line of testimony," interruped Senator Reed, amid laughter. "His statements are untrue and I defy him to produce the slightest particle of evidence to sustain them," said Palmer. ; ' The attorney general declared that ; dozens ot arrests, have been itade for liquor violations in Penn sylvania and vigorously denied, any immunity had been granted to liquor dealers. , "I. could not grant them immunity , ,1- ., m m m m v- w. w UNUSUAL TKUbLLMiPflR STB III t V M O S T MENACING, ALLEN DECLARES Kansas Governor Says Question Of Foreign Relations Is Forgotten. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Atlantic City, N. J., June 2. "The most menacing of our troubles to day is the unusual problem," de clared Gov;" Henry J. Allen of Kan sas, in addressing the i5th annual convention of the Rational Associ ation of Credit Men here. "Today the question of foreign relations is forgotten," said Gover nor Allen, "but our domestic prob lem is tlrt vital question of tne hour." Continuing, Governor Allen spoke as follows: "Profiteering by capital and labor and the fights between them have piled costs of living so high as to minimize the cost of the war. "Mr. Gompers stated the other night that the switchmen's strike was an outlaw strike. In my opinion, all strikes are outlaw disturbances. The switchmen had a better case than some other strikers, but they did not have the divine right to strike. "The bolshevik today is not feared. He" is no longer a menace. But the ' labor, problem is. causing the great-I est concern. "The constant quarrel between capital and labor is the only private fight still on. Laws have been passed Stopping duelling and fist fighting, but the statesmen of this country have not had the courage to stop Hhe war between capital and. labor. "I do not fear for the future cf this country, although we are now passing through a commercial crisis. I believe we will volplane down to earth and not come down with a crash." - Charge Methods of ; Palmer , Ineffective In Sugar Situation Washington, 'June 2.

The report, prepared by Reore sentative Husted, republican, New York, as chairman, charged ,that the legalistic method adopted by-the at torney general was wholly mef fective as a means of price con trol" and that "it gave apparent gov ernment sanction to extremely high sugar prices, which excited the ctr- pidity of Cuban oroducers and caused an advance m the Cuban niarket..

"We simply talked until th?re was nothing left to talk about, then quit. "The men wished, the conference continued, and we were willing.

Forest Acreage Must Be Increased to Cut Prices, Meredith Says Washington. June 2. The high cost of timber and newsprint paper is due in no small measure to deci mation of the forests of the east, Secretary Meredith informed the senate today, in transmitting r re port by the forest service "Scarcity of timber in thf eastern states is by no. means the only cause of high prices," said the secretary's letter. "But the facts remain that three-fifths of the original timber of the United State is gone and that we are using timber four times as fast ts we are growing it." The reoort estimated that 2.215,- 000,000.000 feet of timber is left in the United States and that there had been no marked change in the con centration of timber ownership dur- me the last ten years. Secretary Meredith endorsed tne Dolicv of reforestation with en largement of the national forests on awide scale and legislation v. hich would enable the forest service to co-operate effectively with the states in stopping forest fires and growing timber on state and private lands. .
