THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 25," 1921. Both Sides Claim Wholesale Fraud In Ulster Voting Charges of Intimidation by Beatings and Threats Are Made by Nationalists and Unionists. Belfast, May 25. (By The Asso dated Press.) Wholesale charges of intimidation by beating and threats and personation during the balloting in Ulster for members of the new northern Irish Parliament are being made by both the nationalists and the unionists. Neither side appears to attempt to conceal the fact that personation was carried on to an unprecedented extent. As reports come in from the prov inces the number of cases in which children voted yesterday increases, but there was only one anywhere which matched that of the child of 2 1-2 years who voted for Moles, a candidate in south Belfast. That was the case of a girl just under i years, who cast her vote for J. M. Barbcur, a unionist candidate in An trim, who is well , known in the United States. ' It is not unusual for Ulster chil dren to get on the voting lists and a case is recalled in the last elec tions where a family of eight chil dren, ranging from 16 years down ward, exercised the franchise. It is easy for their names to get on lists on which all persons of voting age automatically are placed, and there they remain until the rc'sion which occurs in July of this year, when they can he objected to. Meanwhile they are fully entitled to vote. The complicated system of pro portional representation provided for under the Irish act made it doubtful, it was said this morning, whether the complete returns would be known until the end of the week.

This town, the county seat of Clay county, has a mile of paved streets, modern waterworks, an electric light plant and is arrang ing for the installation of a sewage system. A new school building to cost $100,000 has been authorized. It has a commercial club of 75 mem bers, which exhibits its spirit by ad vertising the need of a local cream ery, laundry, strawboard factory, al falfa mill and molasses mill. Many of the ponds used only for duck hunting a few- years ago have been drained and now produce a wealth of wheat. Clay county was coverea most tnorougniy, tne iirst stop being at Edgar, a town of 1,084; then Fairfield with 1,054; Sutton with 1,702; Verona, Inland and Saronville. Men on Water . Wagon. A feature of the jisit at Harvard was the appearance of two Omaha business men,- Ai ' E. . Kempster and C D. Paris; on the town water wag on. This was in a Way symbolic of the altered condition of trade excur sions, which' in the old days were sometimes noteworthy for something less than business and more than water. The present tour would meet the approval of Congressman Vol itead himself. With the trip half through, every member of the excur sion is in good marching condition and thriving on the exercise. W. A. Ellis, assistant commissioner of the Chamber of Commerce, put J. E. Kelsey on the scales at Fairbury, wishing to find how much flesh he had lost Kelsey tipped the beam at 258 pounds. He had gained four pounds since leaving Omaha. Business throughout today's trip .through Jefferson, Thayer, Adams, It !. - 3 r 1 i namuion ana xonc coumies, snows itself on the upgrade. As H. A. Bruenning, a banker at Belvidere, remarked, "things begin to look like old times." Old grain is beginning to move to clear bin room for the new crop, and money apepars to be getting easier. A banker at Fairbury reports that only one business house with which he deals is in debt . Varying Condition. "A three-day trip through the wheat section of Nebraska shows a varying condition," Frank Myers, manager of the Farmers Union Ex change at Omaha, says. "Rain is badly needed in all territory visited, but especially in the south central section. In southeastern Nebraska wheat will yield from eight to 16 bushels an acre; in Thayer county and adjacent territory 10 bushels will be the maximum yield. Clay county conditions are better ' and about the average for the past five years is in sight." An elevator man at Harvard esti mated prospects for 15 bushels to the acre, but reported a ' light rust in some, fields, which may lower the figure. One of the notable receptions to the Omaha men was at Carleton, where the school children paraded. Other towns visited were Powell; Alexandria, where a gardener brought down two immense baskets of radishes for the guests; Daven port, Sedan, Trumbull, Giltner, Aurora, Hampton and Bradshaw. Congressman Reavis Will Speak Before Rotary Club North Platte, Neb., May 25. (Spe cial.) Congressman Reavis, who is spending this week in Nebraska, has accepted an invitation to address the Rotary club at its luncheon Satur day. A dozen or more prominent citizens, not members of the club, have been invited as guests.

Manawa Park OPENS SATURDAY Hays Abolishes Press Censorship (Continued From rs On.) is easy to decide what is and what is not information of a public character. The arbitary power to decide what is and what is not a public benefit wa never intended to be lodged in the postmaster general. It shall not be assumed. Holds No Brief. "The Postoffice department holds no brief for the Liberator or any other publication. If there is a con spiracy to destroy our established form of government by force and violence, claimed by the department heretofore as a reason for not grant ing this permit, and if this publica tion is involved in it, then the De partment of Justice will deal prompt ly and effectively with the conspira tors in the manner prescribed by law. The Department of Justice, as now organized, can be depended upon absolutely to do that. "The was is over. We must re turn to the ordered freedom. Our method-of safeguarding the public welfare, while at the same time maintaining freedom of the press, has been found through a long period of stable civil liberty, better for the public welfare and personal security fo citizens than to establish a bureau creatine censorship which, in its na ture, becomes a matter of individual opinion, prejudice or caprice. I here is a certain cost m tree institutions in which the institution of freedom of the press shares, but we in this country have preterred to ray such costs from time to time rather than to seek protection through the his torical discredited devices of bureau cratic governments. Either these publications should be entirely censored and their publishers prosecuted, or they should be given mailing rights in common with other periodicals of the coun-1 try." I Townley Termed Liar In Debate at Deshler (Continued From Page One.) than a sane and honest man can an swer in a year," Townley said. "He has centered his attack on me and has digressed from the subject of this debate, 'Resolved, that the Non partisal league program has been a detriment to the people of North Dakota.'" Townley outlined that part of the league pledges which he declared had been carried out and which offset the high taxes by savings of approxi mately $40,000,000 to the people of North Dakota. The hail insurance law, he said, cut the hail insurance premiums A9SM an acre and saved $11,000,000. He declared that the gram grading law had saved U.UUU, 000 in two years and cited the grain warehouse receipt law in North Dakota. , Townlev didn't talk on the bank of North Dakota, although, in some of his speeches it is said he goes to great lengths to prove the wisdom of this nonpartisan league plan. Townley , spoke of the $2,500,000 state-owned elevator at iortntorK, Praises Elevator Plan. "It is true it is not more than half completed, owing to the fact that there has been difficulty in selling North Dakota bonds," he said. "But we are selling and will sell bonds to complete it and when it is completed the people of North Da kota will be assured of a medium through which they can ship grain direct to the world's market free from the manipulations of specula tors and gamblers. And the reason for the difficulty in selling these bonds isn't because the bond buyers don't believe the farmers of North Dakota are not good for it. It is because the bankers, elevator men, railroad men and others, seeing danger to their big profits, have ut terly blacklisted the state. But wc re going to sell them just the same and are selling them. "The heaviest applause greeted the remarks of Townley, who used many critticisms and much sarcasm, at the earlier stage of the debate. Toward the end, Langer, who is blunt, lacks any humor or oratori cal tricks, by the sheer vehemence of his statements and earnestness of his utterances, was going nearly 'SO-SO with Townley for applause. Many Out-of-Town Persons. Deshlerites say that 25 per cent of the audience of 30,000 persons are foreigners to Deshler so far as trading goes. Many from Nuckolls county were present. Townley men claim 1,500 members in Nuckolls county and 500 in Thayer county, where Deshler is located. Langer, accompanied by C. H. Hale of Sa lina, Kan., secretary of the Ameri can Defense league of Kansas, trav els from one town to another in a car. There are two cars containing the Townley faction. An admis sion of 50 cents is charged. Townley, under the - agreement, selects the towns where the debates shall be held. Townley and Lan ger don't speak to each other and carry on their business through a third party. They come into towns and leave at different hours. They came to Deshler from Luray, Kan. They go from here to tfea trice to debate in the auditorium there tomorrow. Or1! ily they debate in a tent carried by the Townley crowd. Langer, for two years, had issued public challenges to Townley to debate before Town ley accepted. G.A.R.

Chester Sent Away is Uaim or uerense Broken Bow to meet Chester; K. L. Barton and William B. Barton, brothers of the slain girl, be ex cluded from the court room until called as witnesses. The court over ruled the request Kimbrell said he would not call Moorehead as a witness for the state, and Aylward then declared his intention of placing Moorehead on the stand. " Joseph Aylward in his opening statement made sensational charges that the case against Chester was a "frame up." Chester, he said, was sent out of Kansas City on money furnished by the Midwest Detective aeencv. a orivate detective agency employed by the Barton family fol lowing Miss Bartons death. Aylward charged that Chester was slugged and thrown from the train while being brought from Great rails, Mont, to Kansas City. Only Eleven Jurors. For the first time in the history of Jackson county the fate of a man accused of first degree murder will be decided by 11 men. This was caused when both sides agreed to excuse Bert McLane because of a recent death in his family and the failure of his substitute to qualify for jury service. The defense waived any legal right to contest the pro ceedings. At 9:45 o'clock this morning Mr. Kimbrell began to read the informa tion charging Chester with first de gree murder. The court called for all witnesses to go forward and be sworn. K. L. Barton, jr., and H. R. Bar ton, brothers of the slain roman, did not go forward. Kimbrell told the court the Bar ton brothers would not be witnesses. They were permitted to remain in the room. At one time, Garvey testified the young woman reached up, placed her arm around Winter's neck and drew him toward her, kissing Winter, and murmuring something like this: "Oh, Howard," or "Oh, Howdy, how it hurts."

Many buildings are needed now, and the need will Increase with the natural growth of population. One of the essentials of building is money. Tto prospective builder must either have the cash or bor row what he lacks. Home Builders furnishes money for building when the company does the actual construction work. The money required to assist in financing a large building Is obtained by gathering up comparatively small amounts from hundreds of investors. Each investor in Home Builders therefore helps to swell the fund needed to construct large buildings. The money is put into circulation as wages to workmen and as payment for materials. A mortgage on the com jleted property and ground is taken to assure the re payment of the loan. The borrower pays Home Builders such a rate of Interact that Home Builders can in turn pay 6 to in vestors. The investor in Home Builders is paid liberally for the use of his money, besides knowing that it helps to produce business in the community. This kind of an investment appeals to people in Oma ha and vicinity. We desire to interest 'additional In vestors at this time, so that we can realize the neces sary funds to meet the opportunities which confront us.
