U. S. Rohrer, New
Dry Enforcement
Officer, On Job
Says He Has No Policy to An
nounce, But Will Simply Be
. Governed by Orders
"',. From Washington
' So quietly as to belie his name, Ui
S, Kohrer ot.nastwgs, new pronioi
tion enforcement director for ' Ne
hraska, took his desk in. the federal
buuding yesterday, ne replaces
James H. Hartley.. .j. ;
Rohrer explained the delay in his
arrival since July 1 as due to the fact
that official papers of his appointment
had not arrived. '
Rumors that he was in town sizing
up the local situation before taking
office were met witn nis statement
that he arrived in Omaha last night
from Lincoln. He will be at the
Castle hotel, he stated, until his fami
ly arrives later.
What "U. S." Means. "
The mystic "U. S." of Rohrer's
iiiitials do not stand for United States
but for "Ur Stauffer," he explained.
" 'Ur' is for Ur of the Chaldees, the
land from which Abraham went out
into the land of promise; Stauffer is
a family name." -
. Rohrer's remarks indicated that he
believes the Volstead act will lead the
nation into the promised land of pro
hibition. ,
"I know all the difficulties winch
beset the way. I've been active in
Anti-Saloon - league work : long
enough to know what I am up
against, but there i: no question in
my mind but that the law will bring
about the . necessary reform," he
stated.
,"Of course.there will continue to
be violations, the same as there are
of other laws, but I believe the next
generation, unacquainted with sa
loons, will grow up unaffected by the
liquor evij." . .
, Cites Kansas. ;
He cited Kansas as an illustration.
Rohrer is 61, was in the abstract,
title and insurance business before
his appointment and is trustee and
county chairman for the Anti-Saloon
league at Hastings.
Rohrer said he had no policy to
announce; that he would simply be
governed by orders from Washing
ton. He said he would confer with
agents assigned to work under him,
later:

Funeral for Victim
Of Unusual Accident
Geneva, Neb., July 11. (Special.)
The funeral of William Baroch,
34,. was held from St. Joseph Cath
olic1 church.
An unusual accident caused the
death of Mr. Baroch at Columbus,
Mont. While driving with several
men and approaching , a culvert he
extended his arm to signal an ap
proaching, car that he would cross
first. At that instant a machine
from the rear tore by and, striking
.... the extended arm of Mr. Baroch, al
most, wrenched it from the shoul
der After driving eight miles, dur
ing which' the injured man suffered
terrible agony, he was taken to a
hospital at Columbus and the man
gled member amputated.'
After regaining, consciousness Mr.
Baroch at once put his hand over to
find out if his other arm was there,
and the knowledge that it was gone
appeared to depress him, so he lost
heart and s8on died.
Mr. Baroch had lived in Geneva
a number of years. His wife and
several children survive him.

ed the differences over the naval ap
propriation bill. "I hope the con
ference will work into an associa
tion of. nations," said Represetative
Madden of Illinois, one cf the vet
eran members :of the house. . Both
of these congressmen are republi
cans. Senator Lodge, however,- the
chairman of the' committee on for
eign relations, sai4 that he did not
believe the. proposal had- any con
nection, with possible negotiations
for an association of nations and
that he did not expect any opposi
tion to it on the part of those classed
during the Versailles treaty contest
as "irreconcilables." Mr. Lodge also
expressed the opinion that the ad
ministration did not intend to in
clude land disarmament."
Senator Johnson of 'California had
this to say:
"Of course, any movement de
signed to. bring about disarmament
is commended. .1 was one of those
who supported the Borah amend
ment, which would have confined the
conference to the simple and' direct
proposition of curtailing naval
building.' Adding the question of
land disarmament will make the task
much more difficult." '
v " Senator" New of Indiana, member
of the foreign relations committee,
expressed his approval of the presi
dent's action and said he hoped that
the movement would be productive
of a good-faith agreement to which
all nations can subscribe.
Definite Step f orward.
Senator Poindexter, in charge of
the naval bill, said he considered the
president's action a definite step for

Senator Pttman of Nevada says he
believes democrats will support the
president with little question. Pitt
man said the call marked the end of
America's isolation. -
Representative Mondell, majority
leader of the house, said:
"I have know for two months that
the president, .through the secretary
of state, lias been making careful in
quiry of the major powers, through
diplomatic representatives, of the
possibility of holding, an international
conference of disarmament., ; I am
very glad to know that it has reached
a point where the president feels that
such a conference can property be
called. .
"I have every confidence that such
a conference will be successful in
bringing about an early reduction in
naval expenditures and limitation of
armaments and eventually, through
International conference, I am con
fident there will be brought about a
helpful agreement relative to a limita
tion of armaments generally."

Teacher Takes
Job as Shop Girl
In Local Store
Director of Cass School Con
tinuation Classep "Clerking"
So She Actually Encoun
ters Pupils' Problems
To teach orooerly, it's a ''good
plan to know your subject and its
Miss Marie Matthews, director of
the -Cass school continuation classes,
believes this. ' '
That is why she may now, be
found behind the underwear counter
in Omaha's largest department store.
Before she is through with her
"experiments" she expects to "clerk"
in the 10-cent store and in one of the
local factories where large numbers
of girls are employed.
She Confesses.
"Most teachers' vocational guid
ance efforts are. based on pure the
ory," she said. "Few of them know
what really goes cn in the business
or industrial world. I hope to know
something before the summer is
over," Miss Matthews explained sim
ply when a Bee reporter discovered
her in the store yesterday.
Miss Matthews preferred to
"clerk" incognito in order to be
freer in her investigations, but she
smilingly 'fessed up when discovered.
Miss Matthews!, pupils, under the
new Smith-Hughes vocational bill,
are children between the ages of 14
to 16 who attend school part., time
and work part time.
No Regular Course.
No regular course of study has
yet been outlined, but Miss Matth
ews made up her own curriculum of
practical studies for them last year.
She taught common business usages,
general information of use every day,
English, spelling, current topics and
whatever seemed to her would be of
the greatest practical good to the
young people starting out in the
workaday world.
"But I want to be sure that what
I give them is what they really need,"
said Miss Matthews. "The best way
I knew to find out was to try it
myself."
Miss Matthews declared she had
learned loads of things in her scant
two weeks' service.
"And I'll know a lot more before
I've finished," she said.
. Miss Matthews was one of the first
seven girls to go to France in Red
Cross work from Nebraska during
the war. .
President Will
Fight Bonus Bill
(Continued From Page One.)
to subdue rebellious people than
would pay all the interest they owe."
Senator Watson, republican, In
diana;1 objected to the provision of
the Norris amendment directing the
secretary of the treasury to collect
the interest due on foreign loans, ex
plaining that the provision might be
a direction to da the impossible.
Senator McCumber- attacked the
Norris amendment, declaring ' he
could see no reason why the receipts
from the foreign loanr should be ap
plied to any specific indebtedness.
Senator Wadsworth, republican,
New York, described as ."a grave
mistake" the institution of the sys
tem whereby men in service during
the world war were compelled to
turn over a portion of fcheir pay as
allotments to their dependents. To
rectify that mistake he proposed that
the government return money turn-,
ed over for allotment purposes. He
said he had been advised this
amounted to about $350,000,000 and
would benefit those most needing a
bonus.
Commercializing Patriotism.
Designation of the pending bill as
an adjusted compensation measure
was described by Senator Wads-
worth as a misnomer, because, he
said, it would distribute- cash indis
criminately and without regard to
need.
Payment of an indiscriminatecash
bonus, he said, would be "creating a
precedent which will plague our de
scendants.
"Let us be generous," he added.
"But when you vote to pay every
man a cash bonus, rich and poor
alike, you are commercializing .pa
triotism." '
Plans to delay consideration of
the bonus measure were attacked by
the legislative committee of ; the
American Legion in a statement to
night It referred to the letter of
Secretary Mellon urging that consid
eration be deferred as intellectually
dishonest, and politically ludicrious."
Legion Attacks Plan.
"Postponement," it added, "is
merely a subterfuge, a play for time,
through which its enemies hope ulti
mately to defeat the measure."
Asserting that the bill "is a meas
ure of elemental justice" andT will
"not affect disastrously or even
harmfully the finances of the coun
try, but will rather add to the na
tion's economic power by placing
hundreds of thousands of bread win
ners back on their feet' the state
ment said that the legion "is irre
vocably committed to it, popular
opinion is behind it and congress
should pass it and get it out of the
way." .
Secretary Mellon's "diatribe," the
statement said, is nothing more than
"a mere rehash of the objections
long ago interposed by his predeces
sor in office, former Secretary of the
Treasurer Houston." . ....
'"There is nowhere in the Mellon
statement," it added, "any reason
able justification for the theory that
a bill not designed to become finan
cially operative until July 1, 1922,
would ruin the country if passed
now, but be safe and sound if passed
in November or December."

Fordney Tariff .
Bill Subject of
Debate in House
Schedules Alternating Praised
And Condemned in Six
Hour Session Collier
Leads Attack.
Washington, July 11. The Ford
ney tariff bill was alternately con
demned and praised in a six-hour
session of the house today. In a
speech which drew repeated rejoin
ders from republicans, Representa
tive Collier of Mississippi, a demo
cratic member of the ways and
means committee, charged that
Chairman Fordney had permitted
the committee to hear only one side
of the case in framing the measure.
Mr. Collier declared the American
people had asked for duty-free meat
and they got lava and skeletons;
that they-asked for free sugar and
got Chinese joss sticks.
"This Fordney bill has put rates
so high," he said, "that the people
will suffer deprivation. The bill lets
leeches in without duty. American
leeches have been hanging around
the ways and means committee for
months, askms for rates so hieh
that they would draw the very life-
blood or the people and 1 fail to see
the logic of letting in other leeches
without being taxed upon their
American valuation."
Challenge to Democrats.
The republican speakers included
Representative" Wurzbach of Texas,
who challenged the democratic
members of his state delegation to
vote for a bill, which, he said, would
help their people as much as those of
any other section.
Representative Frear of Wiscon
sin, the only republican member of
the committee which referred the
bill, who has not lined up with the
majority, centered a fire on the dye
embargo provisions, and assailed
Francis P. Garvan, former alien pro
perty custodian, with methods he is
alleged to have used in disposing of
German dye patents.
Mr. Garvan, Mr. Frear charged,
had not obeyed the laws of his
country in the sale of the patents
and had violated international laws
as well. Mr. Frear asserted he
would ask the dye provisions be vot
ed out of the measure.
Razors, knives, needles and Darts
of watches succeeded today the old
straw hat as exhibits.
Representative Tilson of Connec
ticut, a republican member of the
ways and means committee, declar
ed that all these articles were American-made
articles which would feel
most keenly any effect of a German
drive.
Calls Argument Comedy.
Mr. Tilson's argument was de
scribed by Representative Collier as
a continuation of ther f comedy,"
wnicn, ne said, marked the hearings
held by the committee prior to the
drafting of the bill. He charged that
Chairman Fordney v was willing to
listen to testimony .only .if the wit
ness wanted a tariff wall as high as.
it could be built . -
Mr. Collier declared that in putting
steel rails on the dutiable list
the republicans were paving the way
for higher freight rates, since all the
increase in cost must be borne by .
the railroads.
The additional cost of steel,"' both ;
for the railroads and structural oper
ations, he added, will find its way,
eventually into the coffers of "the
steel trust." which he described as :
the heaviest .'contributor to the last'
republican campaign fund. 1
The Mississippi member -also at
tacked, what he called, the-calcium
carbide trust and which, he asserted,
would benefit' to the extent of $2,500,-
uuu annually while the. treasury' will
receive only a few dollars in re venue 4
because of the small import.
"What a staggering price the
American people are paying," ex
claimed Mr. Collier "to reimburse
the great corporations for the im
mense sums contributed to the cam
paign of the republicans last fall."
