FAMILIES MEET
IN OMAHA AFTER
7 YEARS APART
Separated by World War,
Brother Finally Arrives Here
With His and Brother's
Relatives.
There is feasting and merriment
in the home of Zalmon Katz, 5211
South Twenty-fifth street.
The little cottage fairly radiates
the good cheer which prevails with
in, and the sound of happy laughter
mingled with the joyous voices of
children may be heard by passersby.
For after seven long years of sep
aration Zalmon and his younger
brother Hyman are reunited with
their wives and children, safe in
their land of promise, the United
States.
Lost Hope Many Times.
During the past seven years there
were many times when the two
brothers lost hope of ever seeing
their families again. When they left
Warsaw, Russia, for the United
States seven years ago they prom
ised their pretty young wives that
as soon as they had earned money
to provide homes they would send
transportation for theni.
But the war interfered. Hyman
enlisted in the army hoping to be
gent overseas and in some manner
reach the two little families. But
he was stationed permanently in this
country.
When he was discharged from the
army he immediately began negotia
tions for a passport to the New Re
public of Poland, within whose war
ridden borders he and his brother
hoped their families still lived. After
much difficulty the passport was se
cured aud last January Hyman set
out to search for them.
He encountered many difficulties
and hardships, but did not despair.
He arrived in Warsaw, after walk
ing a great part of the distance from
the Atlantic coast, only to find that
hia family and the family of his
brother no longer lived there.
Ia Without Money.
He had. exhausted his funds and
the Polish government refused for
aeveral weeks to turn over money
cabled to him by his brother. When
he did receive it a large per cent
was deducted, he says.
To add to his discomforts he was
robbed of practically all of his
clothing. At last he found the two
little families in a destitute village,
Leublen. They were nearly starved.
After they had become stronger
with what little food Hyman was
able to purchase, the westward
journey was begun. It seemed end
less, for transportation was hard to
secure, and even after the matter of
passports had been arranged, it was
a wearisome wait until ship accom
modations could be secured. At
Ellis Island the little group was
again delayed.
But the hardships and despair of
the past is now forgotten in the
happiness of the present
"I have lost SO pounds since" I
started out on the trip, and I was
. almost naked on the way back," said
Hyman, "but it was worth it."
He smiled and clasped his two lit
tle sons in one arm and his wife in
the other.
"You set why it waa worth it," he
continued. "Have I not my loved
ones back?
There were teart in the eyes of his
frail little wife m the looked up at
her stalwart husband, but her thin,
care-lined face,, which told of un
speakable months of hunger and un
certainty, reflected her. husband's
happiness.
And, not to be outdone, Zolman,
the older brother, hugged his wife
and little aon and daughter, for he,
too, had worked and suffered that
the present happiness might exist

Reactionary Tendencies
Of Convention Shown in
Many Ways, Commoner Says
Bryan Tells of Experiences at Similiar Meetings of
Both Republican and Democratic Parties During
Past 44 Years Says Johnson and La Follette
Only Really Progressive Candidates.

(Copyright, 1920, by W. J. Bryan.)
Chicago, June 12. As this report
of the convention must be given to
the press before the convention
meets, jt is not possible to report
its action on -the presidential nom
ination, and that nomination may
be made before my words reach the
reader. I can, therefore, set forth
only the indications based upon the
character of the convention, their
value depending upon whether they
are borne out by final results.
This convention seems to be very
reactionary. I have been attending
national conventions for 44 years,
beginning in 1876, ii I may be per
mitted to turn for a moment to per
sonal experience.
At the age of 16 I attended the
convention in St. Louis, 70 miles
from my birthplace. I knew no one,
and what was worse, no one knew
me. j
A policeman took pity on me and
put me through a window. In 1880
the convention was held at Cincin
nati, too far away from my home
for me to attend. I attended the
Chicago convention in 1884, the St.
Louis convention in 1888, and the
Chicago convention in 1892. In '96
I went to the republican convention
at St. Louis, partly to report it for
the World-Herald, of which I was
then editor, but even more to en
courage the silver republicans, who
were conducting a losing fight
against the gold element of the
party.
Nominated at Chicago.
Later, I attended the democratic
convention at Chicago, .at which I
received my first nomination. I did
not go to Kansas- City in 1900, it
being certain that I would be nom
inated for the second time. I at
tended the democratic convention at
St Louis in 1904, but remained away
from the Denver convention in 1908,
where again my renomination was
certain. I attended the Baltimore
convention in 1912 and the St. Louis
convention in 1916, the last named
as member of the press. I shall be a
delegate at San Francisco later in
this month. From the above it will
be seen that I have attended every
democratic convention during the
last 44 yeas, excepting three, the
one in 1880, before 1 was grown, and
the ones in 1900 and 1908, when I
was in close communication with the
convention by wire.
Besides reporting the republican
convention of 1896, I acted in the
same capacity at the republican con
vention of 1912 and 1916. I was
a delegate to the democratic conven
tions in 1896, 1904 and 1912. In the
republican convention of 1912 the
Taft and Roosevelt forces were so
evenly matched that the real fight
was over the seating of delegates.
The Taft machine 'as directed by
the skilled hand of Senator Root.
In 1916 there were two conven
tions and I divided my time between
the two halls. The political tem
perature was so different in the two
gatherings that I oscilliated between
freezing and sunstroke.
Convention Reactionary.
This convention is the most reac
tionary that I have had the privilege
of attending, a fact made manifest
in many ways. The chairman of
the resolutions committee is Sen
ator. Watson, who will feel compli
mented when I call him a stand
patter of the standpatters. He had
no progressive rival for the posi
tion and received nine-tenths of the
votes as against a New York rival.
Of the candidates before this con
vention Senator Johnson and Sen
ator LaFollette are the only pro
gressives, the former receiving 148
votes, or about one-fifth of the con
vention, and the latter 24 votes. The
difference in the applause that greet
ed the reactionary candidates and
that given progressives was quite
marked. The convention even
went so far ai to manifest disap
proval by groans when Senator La
Follette's name was mentioned, not
withstanding the fact that this battle-scarred
champion of many re
forms is in a hospital recovering
from a serious operation. His vote
was necessary in organizing the
senate. Senator Smoot of Utah, one
of the outstanding leaders of ex
treme conservatism, has his hand
on the throttle. His delegation
showed its knowledge of practical
politics by dividing its vote between
Wood, Lowden and Harding.
Only Small Gains Made.
At this writing it seems unlikely
(remember this is only a guess) that
the leading candidate will be nomi
nated. The large expenditures dis
closed by the investigating commit
tee would seem to bar his progress
toward the White House. He is also
handicapped by the fact that the con
vention failed to indorse the com
pulsory military training policy, of
which he had been the leading cham
pion. His vote has risen from 287j
cn the first ballot to 344 on the
fourth a small increase for a lead
ing candidate.
Governor Lowden would probably
be the choice of the Reactionary ele
ment if they dared- to risk his nomi
nation. But his financial connection
with big business, added to the large
sum that he admits to have invested
in his campaign, makes his nomina
tion highly improbable. His vote has
risen from 211 on the first ballot to
289 on the fourth, but his increase
has already commenced to slow
down.
Senator Johnson's vote rose from
132J4 on the first ballot to 148 on
the third, and then fell to 140 on
the fourth. There seems no like
lihood of his vote reaching a much
higher figure.
Senator Harding started at 64J4
and reached 68J4. He may receive
some votes from both Wood and
Lowden when they drop out, but
there is no reason to believe that
his vote will ever reach what theirs
is now. If Mr. Hoover had not en
tered the California primary he
might have a chance as a compro
mise candidate, but there seems to
be no enthusiasm for him among
the delegates.-
At present Governor Sproul of
Pennsylvania has the lead among
the dark horses, although Justice
Hughes is frequently mentioned.
Governor Coolidge and Dr. But
ler may be decided for the vice
presidency if a western man should
receive the first place. Judge
Pritchard of North Carolina and
Governor Morrow of Kentucky may
have a chance for the second place
if the convention decides to go
south for the vice presidential can
didate, but no southern state is near
enough to Wall street to give one
of its citizens much of a chance for
either place in this convention.
We shall soon know the worst.

MARY ASKS SHE
NOT BE CALLED
IN DIVORCE CASE
Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks' At
torneys Will Ask Nevada
Court to Nullify Summons
In Divorce Case.
San Francisco, June 12. Mrs.
Douglas Fairbanks, the Mary Pick
ford of the movies, today asked the
state of Nevada to excuse her from
appearing to defend the divorce de
cree recently granted her from Owen
Moore, her former husband.
Through her attorneys, Gavin Mc
Nab and P. A. McCarran, Mrs. Fair
banks made application in the first
judicial district court for leave to
file a special appearance, which was
granted by Judge Langan.
The attorneys then gave notice
that they will, on July 10, at Minden,
Nev., move for an order to declare
null and void the summons upon
Mrs. Fairbanks to appear in the pro
ceedings instituted by Attorney Gen
eral Fowler to annul the divorce de
cree. Discarding legal verbiage, "Mary
Pickford's" attorneys hold that the
Nevada courts have no jurisdiction
now as their client is a resident of
California, that Attorney General
Fowler's complaint is unverified, that
he does not state facts sufficient for
legal action, and that no good rea
son exists why Mrs. Fairbanks
should return to Nevada to prevent
the annulment of her divorce decree.
Mrs. Fairbanks asks that the serv
ice of a summons upon her be
quashed so that she will not have to
appear in the Nevada courts again,
and further serves notice that she
claims the legal right to appear only
by the motion which her attorneys
will submit.
Thus the "sweetheart of the
movies" shakes her ringlets at At
torney General Fowler and says she
is through with Nevada courts.

as well as" skilled workmanship into
our dentistry. You will note the difference.

HOUSE REVISES
BUDGET SYSTEM
TO SAVE MONEY
Single Committee of 35 Mem
bers to Handle Appropria
tions Under New
Rules.
Washington, D. C. June 12.
(Special.) Although budget legis
lation failed as a result of Presi
dent Wilson's veto, congress will he
gin its next session with a new sys
tem of making appropriations.
A change in the rules of the house,
which was put through in the clos
ing days of the recent session as
supplemental to budget legislation,
will center in the hands of a single
committee the work of prpparing
Expropriation bills heretofore han
dled by seven different committees.
The new rule was adopted only
after a hard fight put up by mem
bers of some of the committee who
would suffer loss of power and pres
tige. If it had been known at that
time that budget legislation would
fail of enactment through the presi
dent's action it is quite possible that
this amendment to the rules would
have met defeat.
Representative Good of Iowa,
chairman of the special budget com
mittee of the house and other mem
bers of that committee believe that
the new system will aid in keeping
down the total of appropriations.
Opponents of the system, insist,
however, that this result if attained
will simply mean that some depart
ments are favored at the expense of
others.
Will Give It a Test.
The appropriations for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1921, will be
prepared under the new committee
system. If the plan proves to have
its faults there undoubtedly will be
an effort made before the end of the
next session to return to the old
system.
The Good-McCormick budget bill,
which was passed by both houses
and vetoed by the president and then
repassed by the house, but killed
through a filibuster in the senate,
created a budget bureau headed by
the secretary of the treasury and
placed responsibility upon the presi
dent for submission to congress of
detailed estimates of both appro
priations and revenues. Th change
in committee system which has been
made was not a matter of legisla
tion, but simply involved action by
the house alone.
Under the new system the appro
priations Committee of the house
will be made up of 35 members.
There have been 21 members of the
committee heretofore. In the past
the appropriations committee has
handled such annual suddIv meas
ures as the legislative, executive, and
judicial bills, the sundry civil bill,
the pension bill, the fortifications
bill, and the various deficiency bills.
Lop Off Six Committees.
The six other committees whose
powers in handling appropriations
have been transferred to the appro
priations committee are those on
military affairs, naval affairs, agri
culture, foreign affairs, postoffices
and Indian affairs. Heretofore the
military committee has prepared the
annual army appropriation bill, the.
naval committee the naval appro
priation bill, the postoffice commit
tee the bill providing for that de
partment; the foreign affairs com
mittee the diplomatic and consular
bill the agricultural committe the
agricultural bill and the Indian af
fairs committe the bill for the sup
port of the Indian activities of the
government. These committees will
henceforth handle general legisla
tion relation to their various fields,
but will lose their power over fiscal
matters.
The change in rules does not af
feet the committee on rivers and
harbors appropriations bill; or the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, which will handle public
building measures.
An Important Change
Under the new system the chair

tee, who at present is Representative
Good, will be become one of the
most powerful members of the
house. It is the intention to divide
the committee of 35 members into
subcommittees with each handling
a particular bill. The full member
ship of the committeee will co-ordinate
and scale down the totals.
Inasmuch as all appropraition
bills originate in the house, the
change in the house mles is more
important than any action the senate
might take along similar lines.
The senate, however, also revised
its rules during the closing days
of the session, although not along
this line. The new senate rules re
duce the number of standing com
mittees of the senate by about 40,
eliminating numerous committees
that rarely, if ever. meet. The mem
bership of the principal committees
also has been reduced, 10 of the
mittees, having a membership of 15
each. This change places the com
mittees about on the same basis as
the house committees have been for
some time. In the house no member
may belong to more than one of the
major committees. This has not
been the case heretofore in the sen
ate where a member usually has be
longed to several important com
mittees with the result that it wps
impossible to give all of them prop
er attention.
Budget Legislation.
The change in the committtee sys
tem of the senate does not affect
the handling of appropriation bills
which will continue to be referred
to several different committees
when brought over from the house.
Budget legislation seems assured
at an early date in the next session.
