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.

world and one of the largest poultry
companies.. The Sird largest im
plement house in the state also is
found there. 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

then Fairfield with 1,054; Sutton with

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.

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.

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

Townley Termed Liar
In Debate at Deshler

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

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."

Hwo You Can Help to
Stimulate Building
It is only a question of time nntil building operations
mast be resumed on a large scale In Omaha. 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.
Put your surplus to good and profitable use by in
vesting it in Heme Builders' 6 securities of fl and np.
