Campbell-Willis
"Dry" Bill Again
Halted in Senate
Louisiana Senator Denounces
Wayne B. Wheeler as "Lob
byist" Financed by
John D. Rockefeller.
Washington. July 28. The Camp
bell-Willis bill to make prohibition
prohibit resumed its stormy voyage
in the senate yesterday, but its prog
ress was quickly halted by a broad
side hurled by the opposition of
Wayne B. Wheeler, spokesmen for
the Anti-Saloon league.
Wheeler sat in the gallery and
heard himself denounced as a ''lob
byist," financed by John D. Rocke
feller. He was also accused of at
tempting to dictate the appointment
of dry enforcement agents in the va
rious states and of trying to exact
guarantees that the appointees would
interpret the law in a manner satis
factory to the Anti-Saloon league.
Senators Attack Wheeler.
Senator Broussard of Louisiana,
supported by Senator Tom Watson
of Georgia, led the attack upon
Wheeler. The Anti-Saloon league
leader soon left the gallery, but
returned to the capitol within a few
minutes with neatly typewritten
pages denying Broussard's state
ments. "Does the senator know the age
of Wayne B. Wheeler?" asked Sen
ator Watson of Georgia, addressing
Senator Broussard.
"I do not," replied Senator Brous
sard. "And does he know," Senator
Watson inquired, "how long he has
been a prohibitionist or does he
know how much he is paid for being
a prohibitionist?"
Hints Rockefeller Pays Salaries.
"I would like to know myself and
just in line with it." replied Sena
tor Broussard, "it might be of great
interest to the nation to know what
'ie is getting and where the money
i coming from that pays him. Aft
er reading this Volstead junior bill,
I have an idea that it was intro
duced in the house to regulate the
production of industrial alcohol;
that Mr. Rockefeller fears the de
velopment of an alcohol engine which
may in time displace the gasoline
engine and for that reason is con
tributing largely to the salaries
which Mr. Wheeler and others are
getting. This matter will be estab
lished in due time. I expect, if I
live to see mv term of six years ex
pire, to see it demonstrated on this
floor thatv John D. Rockefeller is
not putting out his money for moral
uplifting, but for the purpose of
protecting the business in which he
accumulated his large fortune."

Hays Plaiiiiing
Drive to Increase
Postal Savings
Reforms in Present System
Under Consideration May
Increase Interest Rate
To 3 Per Cent.
Catholic Sisters to Open
McCook Hospital August 13
"McCook, Neb., July 28. (.Special.)
Word from Kentucky headquar
ters of the Sisters of Saint Dominic
states that members of the sister
hood will be in McCook in readiness
for the opening of the General hos
pital August 13. . Local assistants
are now preparing the building and
equipment for the opening.
Washington, July 28. With the
cordial endorsement of the federal
reserve board and the savings banks
of the country, a drive to increase
postal savings throughout the cotin
try is about to be inaugurated by
Postmaster General Hays.
Reforms in the postal savings sys
teni necessary to this end are under
consideration by the board of direc
tors, including the postmaster gen
eral, Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon, Attorney Generol Daugherty
and Governor Harding of the feder
al reserve board, members of the
house and senate nostoltice com
mittees, bankers and others.
Among the important reforms
suggested, Mr. Hays said today,
were the increase in interest rate
from 2 to 3 per cent, the depositor
to receive interest on funds held
less than one year, compensation of
fourth-class postmasters for han
dling the business in order to in
crease the number of offices receiv
ing deposits, the placing of the
funds in local banks and a more lib
eral arrangement by which deposi
tary banks may qualify.
Treatment of depositors in the
past, according to Mr. Hays, amount
ed almost to fraud. With $161,000,
000 on deposit last year from 508,000
depositors and with the law provid
ing that 2 per cent interest be paid,
the government paid less than 1 1-2
per cent interests to these depositors
and by redepesiting at 2 1-2 per cent,
made a net profit of $1,720,000.
This Mr. Hays termed "sheer
profiteering." The certificates
pledged 2 per cent, he said, and
tailed to say anything about.no in
terest being paid if deposits are not
left a year.
Number of Offices Reduced.
In consenquence of these things
and of the interruption caused by
tle issue of Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps, the number of of
fices receiving deposits dropped
from 12,823 in 1912 to 6,314 in 1920,
whereas, according to Mr. Hays,
savings should be received at 50,000
offices.
The question of increasing the
postage rate, Mr. Hays said, had
been suggested to him by Secretary
Mellon as a means of raising reve
nue and the point is now under dis
cussion by postal officers. The post-
office has on hand I,60U,UU0,WU 3
cent stamps with which to inaugu
rate the change should it be decided
upon.
Weather Man Says "Fair;"
Jupiter Pluv Shows Up
Defying the weather bureau's fore
cast of "fair and not much change in
temperature," a steady rain fell
throughout the morning here yester
day.
Scattered showers, all under one
inch, were reported at Ashland, Lin
coln and Fairbury, with 1.03 at Red
Cloud.
The rain moderated the tempera
ture and the highest mark reached
here was 81.

Nebraskan Collapses
After Speech in Senate
(Continued From Vtt One.)
of the bill introduced yesterday by
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota with
the approval of Secretary of Com
merce Hoover and Eugene Meyer,
director of the war finance corpora
tion. The committee, however, insisted
upon inserting in the substitute draft
several provisions of the Norris bill
to which the administration had taken
violent exception.
Amendments Included.
The most conspicuous of these pro
visions was an amendment authoriz
ing the war finance corporation to
accept securities of foreign govern
ments in payment for farm products
exported. Another amendment would
extend port credit direct to producers
as well as to bankers and exporters.
J he committee also adopted a orO'
vision authorizing the war finance
corporation to increase its bond is
sues from $1,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,
00 to give it greater credit facilities
in handling farm products. The
principal feature of the Kellogg bill,
directing the war finance corporation
to perform the functions proposed in
the JNorris bill, was retained.
Superior Shifters Will
Attend Thayer County Fair
Superior, Neb., July 28. (Special.)
Secretary Hugh of the Deshler

Shifters for a day at the Thayer
county fair. The Shifters are pro
moting a big united band which is
to give concerts in Deshler, Nelson,
