Assurances jhat the Kraiu car shortage in Nebraska ii , beingXgiven "constant nnd careful attention." were furnished ti the office of Senator Hitchcock today bv Clyde B. Aitchison, Interstate Com- njerce commissioner in special , charge of car service. ' " ITis statement was made in re sponse to a request made WSenator Hitchcock last week tor reuet m the Nebraska car situation and for in formation as- to what is being done. Futures furnished bv the commis sion on the number of car owned by Nebraska lines in their hands at present as- compared witli the num- . ber a year ago, show a distinct de crease 11 this year $ suppiy over jast year's. The commission said how ever, that "taking injtio consideration the amount ef grain moved by the lines a year ago and now, it does not appear that the movement this year has been correspondingly af fected as the result of Jhe car short age." ' ' Admits Decrease In Cars. Further emphasizing this pou:t, VLommissioner Aitchison aid: "Your attention is called to the . loading of grain products in August last year and this year, indicating i that except upon the line of the Chi' cago and Northwestern there has ben a considerable decrease ja the number of cars loaded this year, but thaf.there has aot. been a correspond 1 ing decrease in " the movement of. other traffic loaded box ears. It is therefore natural to suppose that the tailing off in themovement of irram this year is not altogether chargeable to the car shortage. Indication? po.nt to the fact that the light movement is largely -due to other causes, such as the downward trend of the mar- keVlhe holding for better prices andl tne iow mWement of export gram, .if-. Omaha Demands Mttl' Tfte commissioner sai thejr;.re portt ; from railroad representatives at Omaha "indicated .that the de mands of shippers for cars in that . immediate vicinity were being met in full, although some shortage ex isted in the, western , part of the state. , The commissioner further stated that, efforts were being made to move cars steadily from various sec tions of the east and- soath, into grain-producing territory on reloca tion .orders "specially designed to provide necessary.: equipment .'in which to. move the grain "crop." Ex plaining what has been done in this regard, Commissioner Aitchison said: "The principal lines serving the state of Nebraska benefited by these relocation orders arc as follows: "C, St P., M. & O., 2700 cars; "tV& N. W., 2.297; C, B. & Q., .2,418;: C, R. I. & P., 8,076; U. P., ' 12,729; M. P.. 2,137. At the present . time, orders are in effect calling for the movement of the following:. - ' Cart To Be Equalized. A "To the C, St. P., M. & O., 1,200; to the CkB. & Q., 1,198; R. I., 3,100; to the U-. P., 4,200. ' . " . "In addition to this, instructions have been recently put mto effect at 'the principal points of interchange ' requiring the various connections of these western lines to equalize with them pn boxcars. "As respects the percentage of home boxcars on home roads,', will say that while it is a fact that the boxcars of the entire country are badly scattered, a consistent effort is being made to get these cars back to their owners in the most practical manner and in placing orders for re location of cars tojhe west, it is re quired that those cars belonging to the roads in that territory and "which are. best suited to the needs, of. the traffic shall be given preference in filling such orders."

"We are trying to make a peace ful settlement that is to sav. to eliminate those elements "of dis turbance, so far as possible, which may interfere with the peace of the world, and we are trying to make an equitable distribution of territor ies according to the races, the eth nographical character of the Dcoolel mnaoiting tnose territories.-. And back of that lies this funda mentally important fact that when the decisions are made, the allied and associated powers guarantee to main tain them. ... And, there fore, we must hot close our eyes to the fact that in the last analysis the military and naval strength of the great powers will be .the final guar antee ot the peace ot the world. :"Take the rights of -minorities. Nothing, I venture to say, is more likely to disturb the . peace of the world than the treatment " which might in certain circumstances be meted out to minorities.1 And, there fore, if the greatpowers are to guar antee the peace of- the world in any sense, Is it nntust that they should be satisfied that the proper and neces sary guarantees jhave Been given?

It cannot do so. And yet there underlies all of these trans actions the exception on the part, for example, of Roumania, and of Czecho-Slovakia, and of Siberia, 'that if any covenants .of .this settlement are not observed, the United States will send her armies and her navies to see that they are observed. "In those circumstances, is it un reasonable, that the United States should insist upon being satisfied that the settlements are correct. .. . . "I beg my friend, Mr. Kramar, and my friend,. Mr. Trumbic, and my friend, Mr. Brotiano, to believe that if we should feel that it is best to leave the words which they have wished to omit, in the treaty, it is not because we want to insist upon unreasonable conditions, hut that we want the treaty to accord to us the fight of jud'gmcnt as to- whether those' are things we can afford to guarantee.

"Therefore, the impression with which we should dispense ought to be these, that we are all friends of. course that goes without saying but that we must all be associates in a common effort . . . "Now, if the agreement is a si arate agreement among groups of us, that does not meet the object If you should adopt the language sug gested by the Czecho-Slovakian delegates and the Serbian delegation, the Jugo-Slovak delegation, that it should be left to negotiation be tweeo the principal allied and asso ciated powers and their several dele gates, that would mean tmtr after this whole conferencee is adjourned groups of them would determine what is to be the basis of the peace of the world. It seems to me that iljat would be a most dangerous idea to entertain,' and, therefore, I beg that we may part with a sense, not of interference with each other, but of hearty and friendly co-operation upon the only possible basis of guar antee. Where the great force lies there must be the sanction of peace. "I sometimes' wish, in .hearing an argument like this, that I were the representative of a .small power so that what I said might be robbed of any mistaken significance, but I think you will agree with me that the United States has neyer shown any temper of aggression anywhere, and it lies in the heart of the people of the United States, as I am sure it! lies in the hearts of the peoples of the other great powers, to form a common partnership of right, and to do service tto our associates, and no kind of dfsservice."

Adv IE Scores of Cotton Gins Are Qosed By Night Riders Campaign to Keep Staple From -Market Until Price Advances, Being Car ried on in- South. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leaeed Wire, Atlanta. Ga.. Oct 11. An econom ic impasse rs threatened in ueorgia and adjoining states by the cam paign of night-riders to shut down the gins until the price ot cotton advances to 40 cents a pound, rrac tically all business in the south is based on cotton and when the sta pie is not going to market, business begins to sutler .' By their warning notices ' ordering gins to close, coupled with an iniT lied threat to burn, the night-riders ave succeeded in closing score of gins. .Not only have they intimi dated the ginners, Hut they are even posting cotton fields with notices that the staple must not be picked. These notices recall to ' negroes memories of Klu Klux Klan. just after the Civil war, and it is said the negroes cannot be induced to enter the posted fields. The dread of the negroes is increased by the fact that the old Klu Klux Klan has been reorganized, and has many lodges. Of course the new Klu Klux Klan has nothing to do with night- riding, as it is a fraternal organiza tion, chartered in Georgia, but one can't get negroes to believe that the Klu Klux Klan is not involved in the posting of gins aid cotton fields. Although gins are guarded and tne governors of Georgia and Alabah. have issued proclamations offering ewards for the arrest ot night-rid ers, the campaign to keep cotton from the market continues. Want 40 Cents a Pound.; r The farmers expected 40 cents for the present crop, and they see ruin if they have to accept 24 cents, the present price. Their expenses were based on a 40-cent expectation and they claim they must get about that price to meet obligations to the banks and merchants. Meanwhile with no cotton being ginned or mar keted, the obligations are not being met The safes manager of one of the largest fertilizer concerns savs his company will" not collect 50 per cent of what is due from farmers this season. The leaders of the farm organiza tions put the blame squarely on the Wilson administration. Secretary Houston and Governor Harding of the federal reserve system have de clared that the reserve banks would not extend credit to enable farmers to hold cotton. Tt staple has been dropping ever since, and farmers at-, lege that they an being discrimi nated against by the Wilson adminr istration. .. . . . t Replies to Harding. L. B. Jackson, director of the Georgia bureau of markets, has is sued a strong reply to the state ment of Governor Hacding that it is up to the south to finance its crop, is the north could not do it for thif section. Mr. Jackson declared that no one has asked' the north to aid the south, nor has such a thing yet been intimated. ; J.J. Brown, Georgia commissioner of agriculture, has begun a move1 ment for the cotton states to put on a quarantine next year prohibiting ton. He claims this, would exterminate the boll weevil and the farmers could then get as much for the pres ent crop as for two combined. The feeling against the administra tion because of its cotton policy is alarming democratic leaders, who frankly admit that they expert it to result in a heavy increase in the re publican vote in November and a re duction in the democratic vote. Georgia is bitterly anti-Wilson, as evidenced by the overwhelming de feat of administration forces in the primaries this, year. Political ex perts say that this anti-Wilson feel ing has been so increased by the cot ton situation that Harding and Cool idge wiTTget the heaviest vote ever cast for republican candidates in Georgia. It is a common remark that if there were no negro question the state would go republican. - - . Sustains Broken Neck in Stromsburg Foot Ball. Game York Neb.. Oct. 11. (Special Telegram.)

Nebraska Com Harvest Escapes Serious Damase Condition Indicates Highest Average Since 1906 -Yield of 251,619,000 Bushels Forecast. The United States bureau of crop estimates and state agricultural de partment in a report based on Oc tober 1 conditions, yesterday esti- mr.fd Nebraska s 1920 torn crop at 251,019,000 bushels. ' Last year's production was 184,- .86,000 bushels, and the five-year average was.192,430,000 bushels. The present condition 'indicates the high est average yield since 1906. While killing frosts came slightly earlier than usual, the weather had been so favorable for drying and matur ing corn during the previous three weeks that the percentage of dam aged corn is small. A few of the correspondents report sone damage, but most of the comments state that corn had matured sufficiently to escape damage. An estimate -of yield will be made 't month. I he average yield of oats is 35 bushels per acre as compared to 32.8 bushels last year. The total production is 74,655,000 bushels as compared to 69.962.000 bushels last year, and ' the five year average of 8,j,uw ousneis. ine yieias are exceptionally good over the entire state except in parts ot the north eastern quarter. The yield of spring wheat is 11 bushels Der acre. Last year the yield was 8.S bushels. There was a heavy reduction in acreage this year and the production is 4.411,000 bush els compared to 5,678,UPU bushels last year. Black rust and scab are responsible for the light yields. Some of the spring wheat was not worth threshing. The preliminary estimate of all wheat is now 56,777,- 000 bushels, as compared to 60,675,- 000 bushels last year. The yield of barley is very good. bin's 30 bushels compared to 25.7 bushels last year. The production is 5,850,000 bushels compared to 5, 577,000 bushels a year ago. A condition of yu per cent on the potato crop indicates a production of 10,109,000 bushels compared to 6,325,000 bushels, last year and the five-year.average of 9,669,000 bushels. Last year's yield was very low. If the yield turrys.out as well as indi cated hy. 'the condition, it will ceed all sincey1902 except the 1915 yield.' , - , Plattsmouth Auto Bridge Raises Rates for.

Take Hamon. Oklahoma commit teeman, redeemed his promise to give Harding a great meeting in Oklahoma City. In some respects this was the greatest meeting of the camoaiarn. it was the most vocner ous, at least. There was a crush amounting almost to a panic to get a view of the candidate. The people seemed amazed at the republican doctrine. They had been led to think in terms of Cox and democracy, lheir papers told them little of what the republicans were saving and doing. They wanted to be nice to Harding, but they intended to vote for Cox in November. But Harding overcame a good deal of this. His meeting was a triumph, for this was the first time a repub lican presidential candidate ever vis ited Oklahoma, add his meeting was the biggest either party has held in this campaign. It is not impossible that the state will go republican. The candidate took up the nrgro question, fired at him in the city paper. Asked if he favored race segregation and if he would favor the force bill, introduced by-Senator Lodge in 1899, which author ized the use of federal military forces, if necessary, to supervise 'THE Dual Valve principle liiarlcs as notable an advance as the Worm Gear, which has revolution ized motor truck propulsion since introduced by PierceArr6w in 1910.

I would not come and an swer that for you. , That is too e rious a problem for some of us to solve , who do not know it as you do in your daily lives. "But I would not be a fit presi dent of the United States if I did not tell you in the south precisely the same thing as I would say in the north: I want you to kpow I be lieve in equality before the law. That is on of the guarantees of the Amer ican constitution. "You caiutot give rights to a white man and deny the same right to a black man; but, while I stand for that particular principle, I want you in Oklahoma to know that does not mean, and I do not intend that it shall mean, the white man and the black must be made to experience the enjoyment of their rights in each other's company.

(Great applause.) Another question put to him at the meeting related to the . Irish problem.
