THE BEE: OMAHA', SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1921 Committee Asks "More Facts" on Band Concert At Elmwood Hastings Armory Nears Completion Tariff Measure Park Sunday OTPlPWIEJe New Policy Adopted in Tesli mony on Bill Definite Figures to Be Demanded Of Witnesses. Chicago Soprano to Be Solo- v Season Under Auspices of S. E. COR. tStb & JACKSON STS. ist at Third Venture of I City Concert Club. w. . m.m m v - m Washington, July 30. Preparatory to the consideration of fates and provisions of the new tariff bill, sen ate finance committee members ap peared today to have adopted a new policy with respect to testimony in the hope, it was declared, of getting "more facts and less generalities." Several committee members mdicat ed their intention to press witnesses for definite facts and figures upon which to base the new rates. Senator Johnson of California, re publican, announced he would intro duce an amendment to the bill which would increase the rates on almonds from 4 to 5 cents a pound on un ahelled and from 12 to IS cents a pound on shflled products. The senator proposes, he said, to carry the fight for his amendment to the floor of the senate if the finance com mittee refuses to adopt it. Plans of some of the members to reduce the hearings to statements of value to the committee became known after Chairman Penrose had announced that hearings would be suspended after Monday, while the members determine whether Ameri can valuation provisions in the Fordney or house bill are to be stricken out or retained. The first move to have the record show only "facts" was made by Sen ator Reed, democrat, Missouri. He urged that testimony of A. G. Rosen garton, a Philadelphia chemical manufacturer, be omitted after the witness had declined to give the committee information concerning his firms' production costs, taxes, earnings, dividends and other details, which Mr. Reed declared were nec essary to show whether the tariff protection was required. No action was taken on the Missourian's a quest. The committee considered the chemical subject of the bill and further discussion on -it is planned for tomorrow. The dye embargo, proposed by the house ways and means committee, but killed by the house, was brought in several times, but witnesses contended mainly for high protective duties tm chemical products. Members of the commit tee said it appeared that supporters of the three-year ban on dye im ports had lost hope of having it re stored to the bill, but it is known, however, that the provision woild be given consideration in committee later on. District Attorney Rapped In Matters Pardon Case Attorney General Daugherty in a letter to J. P. Palmer, Omaha at torney, ch-.rgrs that the district at torney's office "has gone out of its wav to work up sentiment against T. H. Matters, the department and the president while the Matters case was under consideration. The letter came in response to one written by Palmer asking the rea sons for the pardon of Matters after he had served only 45 days of a five year sentence for aiding in the wreck of the First National bank of Sutton, Neb. Daugherty s letter says an agent cf his department investigated the alleged activities of the district at torney's office and found them to be true. He further states that Mat ters" acts in connection with the wrecked bank "were primarily for the benefit of the bank." No action on the two Indictments still standing against Thomas H. Matters will probably be taken be fore the next term of federal court in the fall, James C. Kinsler, United States district attorney, intimated yesterday. Matters recently ap peared before him and asked that the indictments be quashed. uarageman Killed When New Auto Turns Turtle Lee Enslow, 27, 220 South Seventh street, an employe of the Motor Inn garage.

(Spe cialsHastings is rapidly complet ing a permanent armory for Com pany G, Nebraska National Guard, made up of citizens of that section of the state. The organization of the company was effected in Decem ber, 1920, by Major Stein with the co-operation of the Chamber ot Commerce and the Kotary ana Ki wannis clubs. At first a temporary structure to house the company was proposed, but before plans had gone far the citizens determined to make it a permanent building. I he Hastings Armory Building company was formed with N. H. Jones, Peter Mcintosh, R. C. Cressman, A. H. Thompson and R. D. Gaston as trustees. Bids for construction were too high for the money available. This difficulty was met by appointment of N. H. Jones as construction su perintendent and work is progress ing at a big saving over the bids. The cornerstone was laid June 13. The building, 79x125 feet, provides a large drill hall, a stage, offices, club rooms, kitchen, lounging room, locker room and a supply and truck room. The drill hall will seat 1,000 persons when used for entertainment purposes, and the company will re-, ceive- considerable revenue from that source. Company A, at present, consists of 72 enlisted men and three officers. All of the officers saw service in the world war. They include: Captain, Lawrence E. Jones, a captain in the Ninety-second division with 11 months' foreign service.. First lieutenant, Carl H. Panzer, who was commissioned a reserve aviator in the war. Second lieutenant, Joseph M. Tur byfill, who served as a first lieuten ant of artillery with a year's service in France.

Have you ever applied the same logic to Bee advertising? The first few "bites" of the pick usu ally uncover a seepage, but the well represented by persistent ef fort is needed to get the entire benefit of the start you have made. Nowadays even superficial think ers admit that "It pays to adver tise." Prejudice and preference give way. before the logic that delves beneath the commonplace to the greater wealth below a logic that bids you add the word "persistently" to the little state ment above. One brick doesn't make a build ing, one rain,drop a shower or one ad a success. Persistence makes good fishing, fighting or success ful advertising. To find out why The Omaha Bee "strikes oil" for its advertisers, READ IT. As a reader, then an advertiser, note character and readability of its contents. If you require your opinion con firmed, ask those who have "sunk a well" talk to persistent Bee advertisers.
