Hastings Man Will
Not Accept Position
With State C. of C.
Hastings, Neb., July 9. (Special
Telegram.) The Board of Directors
of the Hasting: Chamber of Com
merce by unanimous vote last night
opposed the acceptance by Secretary
Beels of the general secretaryship of
the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
.The position was made vacant by the
resignation of Harry Moss.
The proposal that came to Mr.
Beels was to serve as secretary oi
the state chamber until the meeting
the board of directors in Septem
ber, when arrangements for employ
ing a permanent secretary win te
made. Mr. Moss was elected to this
position at a salary of $11,000 per

nas to look after the work until

One-Third
World Gold
Held In U.S.
Hoard Proves Expensive LuX'
ury; Influx Starting in War
Cheapens Dollar and
Increases Prices.
Nation World Creditor
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chlragv Tribune -Omaha Be laaed Wire.
Washington, July 9. Never in the
history of the world has so much
gold been gathered within the con
fines of a single country as in the
United States today. The hoard
now amounts to about one-third of
the $10,000,000,000 gold coin and
bullion in the world and it is still
growing.
Nearly all the world owes us
money and whenever the debtors
are able to pay something on account
our gold increases. It will continue
to grow so long as we sell more than
we buy abroad.
This record-smashing in t the ac
cumulation ot gold is an expensive
luxury for us Americans, according
to the economists, who tell us that
the inflow of thegold to the United
States beginning early in the world
war was an important factor in
cheapening the dollar and increasing
prices. ,
, Whether prices and the purchasing
power of the dollar ever will return
to the prewar level is a universal
question which the economists an
swer ' with the assertion that until
our gold hoard diminishes materially
prices will not decline materially.
Looks for Price Raise.
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale
looks for a rise in wholesale prices
and reviving business next fall. Re
tail prices, he thinks, may continue
to fall for a while longer "and then
will begin to rise again for a year or
two, after which he looks for a
gradual decline extending over a
long period to the prewar level
eventually or even below, as was the
case between 1879 and 1896.
The Stable Money league i: study
ing the phenomena of price move
ments with a view to recommending
legislation to counteract such fluctu
ations in the purchasing power of the
dollar as have upset industry, com
merce and household ecpnomy irt the
last few years.
Professor Fisher proposes to sta
bilize the dollar by increasing its
gold content, where there is a tend
ency of Bold to depreciate, and de
creasing its gold content when the
tendency of gold is to appreciate.
, Procedure Would Work.
"We know that such a procedure
would actually work on the same
principle that the price levels of
Mexico and the United States are in
versely proportionate to the weights
of the gold dollars in the two coun
tries." he contended at the recent
meeting of the league here.
The American Bankers' associa
tion rejected the Fisher plan on the
ground that when prices tend to
rise rapidly the government might
find it impossible to maintain re
demption and that when prices tend
to fall our gold reserve would Be

New York, July 9. W. E. D.
Stokes virtually brought to an end

Deep Mystery
Hy ROBERT J. PREW.
Special Cable DUpatch.
London, July 9. The methods
adopted by Premier Llody George
and the British foreign office for
pushing the campaign for an alliance
of the .United States, Great Britain
and Japan in the Pacific is causing
as much mystification in London as
in Washington.
Official or unofficial, some sort of
negotiations are afoot. The foreign
office declared the premier's remark
in the house of commons, in which
he said he hoped to be able to make
an important statement regarding the
Pacific on Monday were "unofficial."
The foreign office at" the same time
announces it hopes for a reply from
Washington.
Yesterday's "hansard" which is the
officiail verbatim record of speeches
made in the house of commons, fails
to mention the premier as saying
that he is waiting a reply from Amer
ica before he makes his announce
ment. On the other hand, all the
newspapers record the statement of
the premier. For instance, the Times
quotes the premier as saying:
"I am hopeful to be able to make
a statement on the important subject
of the Anglo-Japanese treaty on
Monday. It depends on replies re
ceived from the United States, Japan
and China.
"Edited Out.
"A premature declaration would
interfere with the success of the ne
gotiations which are now proceed
ing." . Without a doubt, the disclosure
regarding the negotiations was made
by the premier, but was edited out
of the "hansard" for diplomatic rea
sons. Universal Service is assured that
'Dry' Workers
.Tighten Lines
Around Congress
Proposed Amendment to Al
low Beer and Light Wines
Brings Sharp Protest
From Antis.
Washington, July 9. The "dry"
leaders, who have never demobilized
their forces since the enactment of
prohibition, are tightening up their
lines again around congress, fear
ful lest a beer and light wine amend
ment might slip through as a result
of"drganiz"ed revolt against rigid en
forcement of the Volstead act. An
amendment proposing . 5 per cent
beer and 15 per cent wine, submitted
by Senator Broussard of Louisiana,
is already tickling the palates of the
wets and urging them on to. an
other fight for their "inalienable
rights" of appetite. This has prompt
ed the anti-saloon league, through
Wayne B. Wheeler, its general
counsel, to send up a barrage hre
of protest.
"The proposal, said Wheeler to
day, "to amend the definition of in
toxicating liquors to permit the
manufacture and sale of 5 per cent
beer and 15 per cent wine is both
legally impossible and indefensible,
in view of the 18th amendment to
the constitution of the United
States. If congress should enact
such a law the courts would declare
unconstitution. Such a standard
of alcoholic content contemplates a
strength above that which these bev
erage ordinarily contained in pre
prohibition days.
"The questions of the proper stan
dard of alcoholic content which
should be fixed to effectuate the pur
pose of the 18th amendment was
thoroughly considered by congress
at ' the time of the passage of the
national prohibition act. The stan
dard which was adopted has since
been approved by the supreme court
of the United States.
"A beer and. wine amendment
means the continuance and reopen
ing of the old beer saloon. It was
a menace to clean politics and com
mon decency. The people will never
invite back what they have already
abolished as a public nuisance."

Record Yields of Wheat
Reported in Fillmore County
Geneva, Neb., July 9. (Special.)
An average of 28 bushels an acre

British and Jap
the whole matter is one of termin
ology. It is admitted that there
are no official negotiations with
Washington, although there is an
unmistakable suggestion to Wash
ington emanating from Britain, that
President Harding should take the
initiative in calling a Pacific con
ference for the purpose of discuss
ing the Anglo-Japanese alliance and
the matter of naval armaments. .
How far that suggestion has got

ican State department is a subject
of speculation in Downing street and
it is conjectured that the State de

Negotiations Under Way.
That some form of negotiations
is going on is clear, not only from
Premier Lloyd-George's censored
statement in the house of commons,
but also in the fact of the London
newpapers' acceptance of the facf.
As an instance of the latter, the
Daily Chronicle says:
"Great hopes are entertained for
a frank discussion among the Pa
cific powers, proposals for which are
"now under consideration at Washing
ton. The view taken at the British
empire conference was that the set
tled friendship of Japan with the
British empire should be harmonized
with free development of China and
close co-operation with all. The
British representatives desire that
this should be observed with the
United States."
The Daily Mail, in a forecast of
Premier Lloyd-George's statement
next Monday, says:
"After referring to a new inter

alliance) clauses which will pro

Express Continues Campaign.
With a streamer head, "The
World Is Overrun by Japanese
Agents," the Daily Express con
tinues its campaign to induce Great
Britain to curb her ally's mailed fist
policy in the Pacific
"Japanese armaments," say the
Express, "are notoriously out of all
proportion to the needs of its de
fense and that fact alone warrants
the great and growing mistrust
everywhere felt over Japan's foreign
policy.
"Side by side with the military
and naval preparations, the old Ger
man policy of 'peaceful penetration'
has been thoroughly pursued, China
has been overrun and its people
largely placed under Japanese
tutlage. The ways have thus been
prepared for the using of the
enormous man power and the vast
natural resources of China as in
struments for the advancement of
Japan.
"At the same time Japanese are
penetrating every corner of the
world. Their agents, tourists, stu
dents and business men have back
of their minds, the idea of an
omnipotent Japan,
"Behind their tireless activity and
acts lies a sinister motive, the crea
tion of an instrument of aggression."
J. H. Green Drops
Dead at Chicago
White Sox Park
Excitement Caused by Ninth
Inning Rally Too Much
For Omaha Clothing
Merchant.
Chicago, July 9. The roar of 25,
000 fans which greeted "Bib" Falk
of the White Sox, when he trotted
across the plate in the frenzied ninth
inning of today's 16-inning contest
between Chicago and New York at
Comiskey park was the funeral dirge
for J. H. Green of Omaha, owner
of the J. H. Green clothing store.
With thousands of. others, Green
had risen .to his feet from the begin
ning of the Sox rally in the seventh
inning, cheering on the Chicagoans
when, with the score of 8 to 0 against
them, they put over three runs at
the beginning of the spurt that gave
them the final victory.
But Green did not live to see his
team win. The heat and the excite
ment proved too great, and as Earl
Sheeley's tying run swept over the
plate in the ninth inning with two
men out, he collapsed and fell to the
floor of the grandstand. It was not
until the end of the inning that those
about him noticed the huddled figure
beneath the seat he had occupied.
Mrs. Green, wife of the clothing
merchant, who is at her home in the
Dwight apartments, Thirty-second
street and Poppleton avenue, was
prostrated following receipt of a
telegram from the Chicago chief of
police informing her of the death.
Identification was made by papers
and cards found in Mr. Green's
clothing. Death was due to heat
disease, according to Chicago po
lice. Mr. Green attended the Carpen-tier-Dempsey
fight July 2 at Jersey
City and was returning to Omaha.
He had been a resident of Omaha
for five years, coming here from
Kansas City, Mo., where he had
conducted a string oi chain stores.
He was well known in Kansas City
and throughout Missouri, as well as
in Omaha.
Besides his wife, Mr. Green is
survived -by two sons, Lawrence,
who has just completed a seven-year
law course at Harvard, where he
graduated with high honors, ' receiv
ing the "magna cum lauad',' and
Howard, senior at Missouri univer
sity. Lawrence, who was . in the
east, is on his way to Chicago, fol
lowing news of his fathers death.

Straw Hat
Figures In
Tariff Row
Texas Democrat Challenges
Republicans to Name Duty
On Headgear Under
New Schedules.
Green of Iowa Replies
Il.r The AsMM-iuted Freaa.
L Washington, July 9. An old straw
bat was the article used by demo
crats in opening their attack in the
house on the Fordney protective
tariff bill to illustrate their conten
tion that its rates were higher than
anything written into the Payne
Aldrich bill a decade ago.
Representative Garner of Texas,
ranking democrat on the ways and
means committee, in the course of
a two-hour denunciation of the meas
ure, seized the hat as the first object
within sight and challenged republi
can members of the committee to
sr.y ofihand what duty had been im
posed upon it.
There was a moment's hesitation.
Then in the midst of a shout from
the minority side, Representative
Green, republican, Iowa, arose and
brought an answering shout from the
republican side, by announcing that
it was printed in the bill.
Still waving the faded headgear,
Mr. Garner declared that in the
Payne-Aldrich bill the duty on that
product was 50 per cent, but in the
Fordney measure it was $10 a
dozen plus an ad valorem duty of
20 per cent, which made the actual
import tax, he added, 61 2-5 per cent.
Comparison of the two bills, he said,
would show the same scales running
through the 346 pages of the Ford
ney measure. The average rate of
the Fordney measure, he added, was
higher than any ever proposed be
fore by congress.
Attacks Valuation Plan.
Attacking the American valuation
provision, Mr. Garner charged that
if it had been applied to the present
Underwood law, rates now being
paid would exceed the Payne sched
ules in every instance.
There were many sharp exchanges
while Mr. Garner had the floor.
Most of the verbal battles raged
around the valuation provision and
Mr. Garner declared that the most
glaring evidence of how it would
shoot rates skyward was to be
found in the case of reed furniture,
much of which is shipped here from
Japan. ...
In quoting from a letter received
from a manufacturer of Grand
Rapids, Mich., Mr. Garner charged
that because of the peculiar condi
tions entering into foreign produc
tion, the reed furniture rate figured
exactly 1,497 per cent higher than
the Underwood tariff, which stipu
lated a duty of 15 per cent against
the Fordney's 50 per cent.
Mellon Attacked. ..
The name of Secretary Mellon was
brought into the discussion by Rep
resentative Oldfield of Arkansas, a
democratic member cf the ways and
means committee, who described the
treasury secretary as one of the
"beneficiaries" of the high tariff. He
said that the "Mellons of Pittsburgh"
control the aluminum industry of the
United States and called attention
to the increase in duty of 5 cents a
pound on aluminum.
Representative Green, republican,
Iowa, sought to explain that the 5
cent duty "means nothing," to the
consumer. He illustrated his state
ment with the cost of the old kitchen
stewpan, saying that less that half
a pound of aluminum was used in
its manufacture, but Mr. Oldfield
asserted that whether the amount
was great or small, the consumer
was being taxed for the benefit of
the manufacturer.
Representative Mondell, republi
can . floor leader, spoke briefly near
the close of the day, paying tribute
to the republican members of the
ways and means committee for the '
work they had done in drafting the
bill. He declared that notwithstnd
ing the many handicaps under which
the bill was framed, "this bill has
met with a more favorable response
from the country than any like
measure in a generation," and added
that "this approval will, in my opin
ion, grow rather than diminish as
the provisions are examined ai,d
analyzed."
