Woman Who Ditched 2 Mates
Eloped Here, Uncle Says
Grand Island, Neo., April 16.
Edward Smith, uncle of Mrs. Mc
Cracken, who "eloped with one Mc
Donald after McCracken had yield
ed to the greater claims on the
woman of Roy Yates, her returned
soldier husband, reported killed in
France, but just returned from a
hospital, has come back from Oma
ha, where, he says, he traced his
v.iece and McDonald to the Castle
hotel. At the Castle, from f a de
scription of a couple given, the flee
ing pair was registered as Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Sjnith.
Circumstantial . evidence leads
Smith to the conviction that the pair
stayed at the Casle hotel the first
night, leaving the next morning for
Dei Moines. He thinks, however,
that their destination is Chicago and
the police of that city, he declares,
have been notified to be on the
watch and to arrest, the couple. A
man and a woman answering the
description of McDonald and Mrs.
McCracken " purchased tickets for
Des Moines Friday morning.
i The concert will be under the
direction of the City Concert club.
Another concert will be given May
23 and one in June will close the
season at the Auditorium-.

Beebe Bill Rejected
By Lower House Vote
Lincoln, April 16. (Special) The
lower house refused today to concur
on House Roll 113, the former mo
tion picture censorship bill but with
the senate amendment, now known
as the Beebe high license bill.
The vote was 5$ to 27.
Friends of the censorship bill
gasped with astonishment when the
Douglas county delegation, except
ing Thomas Dysart, voted as a unit
against concurrence.
Later, they began to analyze the
vote and took it to be an attempt to
defeat both censorship and regula
tion. .
The Douglas county delegation,
during the fight in the lower house,
voted almost solid against censor
ship. "
A conference commitee was ap
pointed at noon by Speaker W. L.
Andersoif, consisting of J. Reid
Green of Lincoln, James Axtell of
Fairbury and E. E. Good of Peru,
all pro-censorship advocates.

Market Stiffens;
Liquidation Ends
May Wheat on Board of Trade
Closes 5 Cents
Higher.
Chicago, April 16. American
politics, foreign crop reports and
grain belt weather combined today
to force prices higher on the Chi
cago Board of Trade. May wheat
recorded an advance of 5 cents a
bushel over yesterday's dosing price,
and other grains and provisions were
pulled along with wheat in the fu
ture trading.
There was a regular scramble to
buy wheat at the start of the market,
but professional and trade orders to
sell halted the initial advance when
.May wheat touched $1.25. Within
the next hour, however, the traders
heard that official reports indicated
the drouth in Indiana had wiped out
the exportable wheat surplus in that
country, that the Argentine crop
would be 29,000,000 bushels less than
last year's and that a steady drouth
of six months in France had affected
the crops there already.
These factors, taken with storm
reports and forecasts for freezing
temperature over the middle west
grain belt in this country, were too
much for the bears. They scurried
to cover and May wheat went to
$1.274 a bushel before the move
ment war checked, front taking at
that figure then took half a cent off
the advance. - -

Washington, April 16. Running
through' his mail today, Chairman
Kahn of the bouse military commit
tee swung back suddenly in his chair
and the genial smile characteristic of
the Californian got away -from him.

shouted the chairman, as his office
force looked up in amazement. ,
"From a big envelope, apparently
addressed, by an American . and
mailed in Germany, brought to Mr.
Kahn a clipping from a German
newspaper containing an account .of
the trial of two Americans who had
attempted to kidnap Grover Cleve
land Bergdoll, the Philadelphia draft
evader. '
"It's from Bergdoll or I'm a
Dutchman." Mr. Kahn said, and
then the joke of the thing caught
him and lie laughed.
"But it simply goes to show," he
added, "that we ought to find out
how he managed to escape, and that
he ought to be 'brought back to this
country and put in jail, where he be
longs." . .
Man's Name Changed ,
Martin Christen sen was given per
mission by the district court yes
