1 ' . I THE BEE: - OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1920. i If is n SCORES WILSON FOR ACTION ON WATER MEASURE Senator Jones Says Veto of Power Bill "Little Short Of Calamity to Country." Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Lnwl Wire. Washington, June 7. Severe criti tism of President Wilsoft for his "pocket veto" of the water bill, rep resenting the' culmination of the jwork of years, was voiced by Sena tor Jones of Washington, chairman of the senate committee on com merce, today. Senator Jones described the presi dent's action as "little short of a iralamity to the country." The presi dent's failure to give any reason foi his action was denounced by the penafor in unsparing terms. ' No official explanation has Reached Senator Jones relative to the president's action other than that the bill came to the president too late to give it proper consideration. It is reported that an opinion by Secretary of the Interior Payne that the rights of the government in pub lic lands were not properly safe guarded in the bill was before the president and that because of this he killed it by the "pocket veto" method Without allowing congress an oppor tunity to pass upon it again. Time for Study. Senator Jones denied that there was not sufficient opportunity for proper executive consideration. He pointed out that the bill reached the president last Monday. "There was ample time to study it hnd if there was a valid objection to It he should have made it known and given congress a chance to meet "it as he did in the cas of the budget bill which was sent to him at about the same time," said Mr. Jones. "The terms of the water-power fill have been discussed for years, t differed in only a few particulars From the bill agreed to in confer ence at the close of the last con- Eress, but which failed of passage, thought the president vas; ear ' hestlv in f-ivor of water-power leg islation. Two or three years ago he urged it as of first importance. , ft is more important today than it Was then. Millions Involved. "With the imperative need of tonserving coal and oil, with the t;reat demand for power for manu acturing and transportation and With its importance to national preparedness, it is hard to conceive bf an objection that can justify de feat of this legislation. "Hundreds of millions of dollars have been waiting the passage of this bill to go into plants that would furnish power for all sorts ot use ful activities our water-power bill fcould cultivate. The price of coal knd oil will continue to- soar, pro Auction -will be curtailed and our great inexhaustible resources will femain idle and undeveloped. Why? The president alone can tell us, and - oe has not done so." WHY?- Are Old Shoes Thrown After a . Weeding? (Copyright, 1919, by the Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) The antiquity of this custom may be inferred by reference to the Old Testament, where, in'' Deuteronomy, Chapter 25, Versei 9, we find that n-hen the brother of a dead man refused to marry his widow she isserted her inde denpendence of him by "loosing his shoe." This, coupled with, the fact that it was the custom of savage nations to carry off the bride by violence naturally fol lowed by assaults from the other ; member of the tribe and the cast ing of missiles of various kinds proves that the connection be tween old shoes and marriage dates back practically to the dawn of history. In fact, Urquhart. in his "Pil lars of Hercules." states: "At a Jewish marriage I was standing beside the bridegroom when the bride entered. As she crossed the threshold he stooped down, slipped off his shoe and struck her with the heei on the nape of the ncek. I at once saw the in terpretation of the passage in Scripture respecting the transfer of the shoe to another. The slip-.' per, being taker, off indoors, is placed at the edge of the small1 carpet andx is at hand to ad minister conrection. Hence it is; used as a sign of the obedience' of the wife and the supremacy1 of the husband " Tomorrow WHY Does Heavyl Rain Usually Follow. Thunder?1, Real Estate Transfers Frank W.

Financial Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. New York, June 7. The stock market today was exceedingly dull and the movement of prices was not significant. In the early part of the session there were some advances scored among the industrials, but most of these were lost later in tht day when the call money rate, which had opened and renewed at 6 per cent, rose to 10 per cent. How ever, while the market reflected this mild "flurry" in money, it cannot be said that the development caused any alarm. The call money market, as a mat ter of fact, has been out of harmony with the real money situation for some tirrrt, and its gyrations now are of little consequence, except to furnish an occasional excuse to the professional stock traders, for sell ing stocks. The influence, of the Chicago con vention was most pronounced. Be yond doubt it held in check anv po tential activity there ' might have beer?, arid not only the stork mar ket, but also in banking circles was this the case. ' Little Activity. I A new offerlnsr of Southern Psclflo equipment notes, totaling 116,000,000, was announced after the close of the market, but aside from this It Is believed that very little of banking nature will be attempted until the conventions are closed. In most parts o! the financial district there are convictions that the republicans will be the victors In No vember, but the shaping up of the re publican ticket is still something of a mystery. As the financial community views the situation there are some candi dates for the nomination who are "de sirable" while some of the others promi nently mentioned are not, to put It mild ly, and for this reason there Is a tendency te go slowly until It Is known Just how the Chicago affair Is to come out. A. development today which was dis quieting was the break in Chinese ex change rates, accompanied by a sharp decline In the price of silver. The break In the Chinese rates, together with a lesser decline In India rates, was regard ed as something more than a mere re flection of the recent disturbances in Ja pan. Little Information. Little of a positive nature could be ascertained regarding the eastern situa tion, but private advices from London at tributed the break In silver to selling by the Indian banks, and to marked fall in Chinese demand, amounting virtually to a withdrawal from the market of the Chinese buyers. Offerings were said to be rather light, and while this might be regarded as favorable, from one angle, the fact that the market declined so abruptly In the face of these light offer ings augurs anything but a firm under tone, and further, there were rumors which could not be substantiated of com mercial and financial difficulties in both China and India. Bankers having con nections with the Orient were without much information on the subject, but It was recalled that when the trouble broke out 'lit Japan some weeks ago there was the same lack of definite news for sev eral days after the first rumblings. European exchanges showed but email changes from last week. Sterling finished tho day practically unchanged from Satur day's final quotation, some continentals were heavy. French francs were down auout 7 points, while Italian and Bel glan rates were off slightly more.

Reports that much corn was being diverted to Chicago from Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis had a bearish effect today on the corn market here. Prices closed nervous, $i(d:27fc net lower, with July $1.71JS1.7l and September, $l.S7H(31-57$i Ap parently the supreme court dry de cision did not affect the value of corn or any other grain except bar ley, which closed 4J46c a bushel lower. Oats finished a shade off to I'Ac advance, and provisions at a decline of l.S30c. Owing chiefly to the feet that receipts In Chicago today were a little larger than has been the rule of late, the corn mar ket showed something of a setback at the outsat. Absence of selling pressure, how ever, soon led to a material upturn with Kbsslp current meanwhile that the supply had not been augmented On the othor hand, during the last half of the day at tention focussed principally on signs that heavy shipments from Missouri river ter mln a Is had been arranged. It was also re ported that Argentine corn was being pur chased on a big scale at the United States tea board. Oats went to new top prices for the season. Receipts continued scanty. Packers selling of lard weakened all provisions. Chicago Produce. Chicago, June 7. Butter Market high er: creamery. 4263ftc.

Butter, Eggs and Poultry Unchanged. Burglar In a recent robbery, the burglars passed up Home Builders' shares and bonds. Why? Because these shares and bonds can be cashed only by the registered owners. They would be valueless to others. Burglars do not care for documents of that'kind. It is a comfortable feeling to own some thing which is of value to yourself, but not to others, except upon bona fide transfer. You are always sure of keeping what belongs to you when your surplus is invested in Home Builders' shares and bonds. .' ' ' " American Security Company , FISCAL AGENTS Dodge, at Eighteenth ' Omaha C.
