1 Bad for Farmers
Nebraska Congressman, Testi
fying iu Support of Anti-
Gambling Bill, Su; j Sys-
tem Wrong. .
?. . By E. C, SNYDER.
IVa.hliiftoa Corrn.pondnt Omaha .
Washington, April 29. (Special
'. Telegram.) Congressman Evans,
who with other representatives from
I tht grain growing stales of the west
, and' northwest, is seeking to put a
' stop to gambling in wheat and other
', cereals through legislation, was a
witness today before the committee'
! on agriculture in' the house in sup
' port of his anti-gambling and anti
hedging bill.
In his statement before the com
'. mittee Congressman McLaughlin
presiding difring the testimony of his
colleague, Judge' Evans, said that
; the -chief difference between his bill
and other bills that were pending
, before 'he committee was that he
proposed to do away with the prac
' ticcjof hedging within the next two
yeaft.
He declared that the consensus of
Hie -testimony of all witnesses was
lo the effect that the speculator in
ivery instance carried the insurance
tncl3f the legitimate head under the
present system. The speculator he
declared to be nothing more nor
less -'than a gambler.
Says Producer Bears Expense.
He called attention to the fact that
Mr. G-.'lTin of the Chicago Board of
Trade and Mr. Wells of Minneapolis
had stated that approximately 50 per
cent of all ot the speculators on the
board of trade went into bankruptcy,
He said he therefore concluded that
a system of hedging or insurance,
which in its very nature requires
gambling, was wrong and could not
by any stretch of the imagination be
in the interest of the producer. He
believed that the producer in every
instance carried the expense, either
directly or indirectly, of marketing
his product from the held to the con
sumer and that the producer bore the
expense of the socalled insurance in
every instance instead of the specula
tor. '
E. A. Wright, president of the
Omaha Grain Exchange, who, with
Ed P. Peck, in whose office Mr.
Wright started in the grain business,
has been m Washington for several
days, was a witness before the agri
cultural committee of the house late
Thursday afternoon on the several
bills regulating speculation in wheat.
Mr. Wright stated to the commit
tee that the hedging or insurance
privilege could not be carried on with
out a broad liquid market and that
the speculators were absolutely neces
sary on the board of trade in order
to afford such a broad market. He
stated that in years gone by the Om
aha board of trade conducted deal
ings in futures, but that they were
compelled to drop the practice be
cause there were not enough specula
tors in the Omaha market to make,
it broad enough to afford the hedg
ing privilege. IJe asserted that Om
aha grain dealers were obliged to do
their hedging in Chicago where there
was a large speculative trade.

Members of Nebraska Delega
tion Say Protest Against
Kinsler As District Attor
ney Ungrounded.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Watltlngton Correspondent Omaha Bm.
Washington, D. C, April 29.
(Special Telegram.) The protest
filed with Attorney General Daugh
erty by the representative of. the
Anti-Saloon league in Nebraska, Rev.
E. A. High, against the nomination
of J. C. Kinsler of Omaha to be
United States district attorney for
the district of Nebraska, and en
worsed by Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eral counsel of the league with head
quarters in this city, has created con
siderable feeling among members of
the Nebraska delegation. They go
so far as to say that the protest is
wholly unwarranted and that if oc
casion demands the delegation will
wait upon the attorney general and
if need be ask the president to sup
port their recommendation.
Received Unanimous Vote.
. Mr. Kinsler, they say, received the
unanimous vote of the delegation
and, undw the unit rule w.hich was
adopted before any action was taken
looking to the endorsement of can
didates for federal positions, the rec
ognition of a protest by the Nebraska
members would be tantamount to a
revocation of the rule and thereby
destroy its usefulness.
In this connection some of the
members of the delegation are out
spoken in their criticism of an Oma
ha telegram to a Lincoln morning
newspaper of recent date wherein it
is asserted that, among others, Con
gressman McLaughlin of the Fourth
district, during the balloting for can
didates for prohibition enforcement
officer, voted for U. S. Rohrer and
ili.il.u v ru; ...... .iiivai
r ovoreu iv nun.
The facts are that Mr. McLaugh
lin made a most forceful and appeal
ing speeclfto the delegation in favor
of Mr. Sandall, his neighbor from
York, Neb., just before the ballot
for prohibtion enforcement director
was about to be taken and that he
cast his vote for Mr. Sandall on
every one of the ballots taken. While
the, delegation was pledged to se
crecy as to the number of ballots
taken in each instance and the in
dividual preference disclosed by the
ballots, the bridle was thrown off to
day to permit of the statement with
reference to Mr. McLaughlin.

Sheriff Admits
Liquor Charge
Beatrice Man Must Serve 15
Days in Jail and Pay
Fine of $100.
Lincoln, April 29. (Special.)
John L. Schiek, ex-sheriff of Gage
county, pleaded guilty in federal
court this afternoon to a charge oft
selling intoxicating liquor to Joseph'
M. Bernstein at Beatrice, August 27,
1920, and was sentenced by Judge
T. C. Munger to 15 days in the Lan
caster county jail and to pay a fine
of $100.
The judge suspended the execu
tion of the sentence until May 20.
Schiek faced three counts of an
information but pleaded guilty to
only the first and the other two were
then dismissed.
"Personally I did not sell the
booze," the ex-sheriff said, "but I
helped the other party get it be
cause I understood it was to have
been used for a sick person." Schick
said he had been in the habit of giv
ing a little liquor now and then to
the sick, who otherwise were unable
to get it.
"I have been told to plead not
guilty," he said, "and even my per
secutors have so requested, but I
am not willing to perjure myself."
