Urge Lower Rates
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chirac Trlbunf -Omaha ltr LruH W Ira.
Washington, Oct. 18. In his en
deavor to svert the pending rail
strike, President Harding hat adopt
ed a policy providing for the follow
ing two lines of procedure:
1. To Mipport the railway labor
board with view to enforcing re
spect for its decision by both em
ployes and employers.
A 2., To bring about a lowering of
transportation rates to offset reduc
tions in wages decreed by the labor
board.
It was in conformity with this
policy that the labor board had sum
moned the chiefs of the railway
brotherhoods to Chicago for a con
ference on the situation produced by
their vote to strike as a protest
against the July wage reduction.
This will be ait informal confer
ence, according to the administra
tion viewpoint, which will endeavor
to effect a .cancellation of the strike
call through persuasion of the un
ion leaders. If the representatives
of the brotherhoods cannot be in
duced to withdraw the strike order,
the labor board, it is understood,
will cite the unions formally to
show cause for flouting the wage re
duction decision made in accord
with the provisions of the Cummins
Esch transportation act.
Depend on Public Opinion.
Under the law the board has no
power to enforceits decisions nor
are its decisions binding upon either
party. Public opinion is relied upon
to deter either party from ignoring
a decision.
A formal citation to show oause
for defying the board would be for
the purpose of putting the unions
on record and of reporting their de
fense to the president, the Interstate
Commerce commission and the pub
lic as the law provides.
If, on formal citation, the unions
were unable to justify- their action in
ignoring the wage reduction deci
sion, they would forfeit any support
they might expect to receive from
the public,' it is conceived, and any
strike thereafter would be doomed
to failure.
The president is determined to put
the dispute adjusting: provisions of
the transportation act to the test

Evidence by State
Against Mrs. Southard
Is Drawing to Close
Twin Falls, Idaho, Oct. 18. Prob
ably the last oi the state's testimony
in the case of Lyda Meyer Southard,
alleged poisoner of husbands, will
go in late tomorrow or at the latest
Thursday morning.
Utah State Chemist Herman
Harms and Idaho State Chemist E.
F. Rodcnbaugh will arrive in Twin
Falls at noon tomorrow and it is ex
pected that an hour each on the wit
ness stand will suffice to get into the
record the details of the analysis of
the various specimens from the four
bodies examined in addition to that
of Edward F. Meyer. .
Estimates of the length of time
which will be consumed in examining
witnesses for the defense vary from
two days to a week.
C. D. King, a Twin Falls rancher,
occupying a farm just . across the
road from the Dooley farm, declared
that the defendant told him a few
days after her husband's funeral,
that she was very uneasy as to pos
sible action by the parents of Ed
ward and Robert C. Dooley, but that
her father. W. T. Trueblood. had
sent $25 to an attorney at their old
home in Keytesville, Mo., with in
structions to discourage any attempt
on the part of A. D. Dooley to have
the bodies of his sons disinterred for
examination as to cause of death. No
such examination was made.

Representative Burke of
Pennsylvania Hurls Epithet
at Congressman Blanton of
Texas in Dispute.
Washington, Oct. 18. The house
was thrown into an uproar today
during heated debats on the rail
road situation when Representative
Burke, republican, Pennsylvania, a
former railroad man, called Represen
tative Blanton, democrat, Texas,
who had just concluded a bitter at
tack on the railroad brotherhoods
"a damned liar."
Mr. Burke charged that Mr.
Blanton during his remarks had
made false statements.
The Texas member leaped to his
feet and denying he had stated a
falsehood shouted:
"You're a liar."
This brought the retort:
"You're a damned liar," from Mr.
Burke.
The two representatives moved
toward each other as members
rushed up to restrain them. During
the confusion Mr. Burke shouted at
Mr. Blanton "you're a dirty dog."
Both representatives later asked to
have their remarks expunged from
the record and order was restored.
Tax Bill Put Ov er
By Debate on Pact

Soon as Treaty Accepted
Revenue Act Will Have
Way.
Washington, Oct. 18. Considera
tion of the German peace treaty in
the senate yesterday caused the side
tracking of the tax bill. As soon as
the treaty is out of the way the tax
bill will be taken up again' and given
the right of way until disposed of.
Senator Calder of New York in
troduced yesterday an amendment to
the tax bill eliminating' pianos and
records for player pianos and phono
graphs from the 5 per cent tax which
under the bill would apply to cer
tain musical instruments. The sec
tion, as amended by Senator Calder,
would still apply to organs other
than pipe organs, player pianos,
phonographs and musical boxes.
Several senators are preparing
Substitutes for the proposed amend
ment applying to distilled spirits. It
seems certain that the amendment
approved by the republican members;
of the finance committee providing
for a tax -of $6.40 per proof gallon
with a rebate of $4.20 if used for
legitimate purposes will be rejected.

Session at Des Moines Blame
Railroad Tariffs for Un
employment. Ask Esch Law Change
Des Moines, Oct. 18. Attention
was concentrated on the freight rate
problem by middlcwester states
governors and public officials who
met here today at the call of Gov.
.'. E. Kendall of Iowa to consider
means of reviewing agriculture and
business and diminishing uiiemploy
inent."
It was agreed that present trans
portation Charges made protitaDie
farming possible. Resolutions ex
pressing this view and urging the
necessity 61 speedy action by the In
terstate Commerce commission on
the pending western hay and grain
rate cases were prepared, but action
on them was held over until tomor
iow so that Govs. John J. Blaine of
Wisconsin, J. A. O. t reus ot Alnine
sota and Arthur M. Hyde of Mis
souri, whose attendance is expected
at tomorrow s session, may partici
pate in what is done.
State Rights Ignored.
Similar unanimity was reached as
to the necessity of action by con
Kress in reaffirmation of state author
ity over state rates. In theory, it
was said, the transportation act
recognizes the jurisdiction of state
commissions over state rates, but in
practice that jurisdiction is set aside
by rulings of tne Interstate Lorn
nierce commission.
It was intimated that the confer
ence probably would adopt a resolu
tion calling lor an amendment ot tne
Esch transportation law, clearing up
the disputed point. 1;
Another Question on which the
conference showed warm feeling
was that of interesHharecs and the
socalled deflation Tcy followed by
the federal reserve banks.
Say Fanners Penalized.
Agriculture was declared to have
been unduly penalized by excessive
pressure for liquidation under pe
culiarly difficult ' conditions. The
necessity for lower interest rates and
longer terms for farm credit was
emphasized. It was announced that
the conference probably would put
itself on record to this effect.
Governor Kendall presided. Those
present were Governors S. R. Mc-

Grand Jury Will
Not Be Called in
Lincoln for Time
Judges Say One May Be Call
ed Later County Commis

To Expense.
Lincoln, Oct. 18. (Special.)
Lancaster county judges at a meet
ing here tonight failed to act im
mediately in compliance with a re
quest of Attorney General Clarence
A. Davis that a grand jury be called
to investigate alleged "wild cat"
stock selling concerns which opcrat
ed here and cost the people of Ne
braska $15,000,000.
"No doubt one will be called but
not right now until some details are
completed, presiding Judge E. fc
Clements said following the meeting.
Attorney General Davis, who with
C. E. Matson, county attorney, at
tended the meeting made no com
ment. Board Decrys Jury.
Two hours before the scheduled
meeting of district judges was called
the Lancaster county board of com
missioners passed a resolution de
crving the expense of a grand jury
and favoring the payment of half the
expenses of the investigation by the
state.
This, the judges learned, would be
unlawful. Attorney General , Davis
will pay whatever expenses he deems
iawtul, but so tar as giving Lincoln
a bonus for permission to investi
gate alleged criminal acts of some of
its citizens it cannot and will not be
done by the state of Nebraska, tne
commissjoners learned, allowing the
meeting-.ot judges.-.
Unfavorable Comment
The surprising and sudden action
of the county commissioners oc
casioned ' considerable unfavorable
comment here tonight, in view of the
action taken by the Douglas coun
ty board and the district judges.
Ihe whole-hearted support that
Douglas county officials gave the
grand jury there and the promptness
with which they met expenses to
clean out the class of citizens at
which the grand jury is aimed, didn't
put Lincoln's action toward one in a
very good light in the minds of some
of Lincoln's citizens who want pro
moters prosecuted.
