Resignation a Surprise.
it developed atter the surprising
and wholly unexpected action of the
premier that he had not tinally deter
mined to resign when he entered the
rhambcr, but that he construed the
opening address of Raoul Peret,
president of the chamber, as an at
lack on the government and plainly
showed his resentment.
In his opening speech M. Peret
yi: , . -
"Wc greet with. joy all closer ties

between peoples and every defensive
p.ict with a definite objection of pro
tection that adds to the accord no.v
binding tis to our valiant ally. Bel

consent to undertakings in defiance
f and in violation of rights we deem
rnmrc,cri.tible." . .
The resignation of M. Briand was
accepted by President Mi'llcrand.
The entire French cabinet went
out of office with Premier Briand.
M. Briand's intention to resign was
announced to the chamber at the
close of his hour's speech. The an
nouncement came as an entire sur
prise, as'he had apparently worr the 1
Sympathy of the chamber. His col
leagues of the cabinet were fillcJ
i 'with amazement at his sudden de
termination. ,
Leave Chamber.
M. Briand. after making his an
nouncement left the chamber alone
The members of the cabinet fol
lowed as soon as they had recovered
from their surprise. ;v 1
.Groups of deputies and govern
ment officials speedily gathered in
' excitement at the seriousness of the
situation seeking a way- out of the
difficulty.
The premier first presented the
tjtiestion of the British pact.
"You have been complaining for
three years," he said, . "of not bcins
called upon to share' 'id shaping
French policies. I am bringing you
what you have been demanding for

Farmers'
Exchange
Is Saved
Union Agrees to Grant Exten
sion of Three Years With
out Interest on Note
of $99,000. I .
Finance Plan Explained
' c
The future of the Farmers' Union
State exchange was assured for at
least three years more, when dele
gates to the annual convention of the
Farmers union at the Castle hotel
voted yesterday to extend a $99,000
note against the exchange foe three
years without interest
Members of the boards of direc
tors of the exchange had failed to
jcome to an agreement after an ai!
i morning session Thursday w ith offi
c'als of the local barjk holding .1
note tor ?u.wu against tne ex
change.
Refuse Bank's Suggestion.
the banlc suggested mat inc. union
take over the $99,000 m stock and
thus decrease the indebtedness of the
exchange, but the union board re
fused to countenance this.
When the question was referred to
the convention in the afternoon, it
looked as though scenes of disorder
of the previous night at the Audi
torium, when the question arose,
would be repeated.
Daniel Garber, Red Cloud, peace
maker of the night before, agai.i
came to the rescue and moved that
the loan be extended. It was passed
almost unanimously.' By this ar
rangement the exchange is saved,
but the bank becomes a preferred
creditor. ' s
The articles of incorporation of the
$500,000 finance corporation of the
union were read and explained to the
convention by Judge Broady of Lin
coln. The corporation' will begin to
function as soon as SO per .'cent of
the capital stock has been paid in.
The shares will sell at $100.
Operated at, Loss.
Following the final session of the
convention, stockholders of the ex
change went into their annual busi
ness session. Frank Myers, former
manager, read his report. He de
dared that the exchange had been
operated at a loss for the past two
years. He said that the exchange
found itself in the same position as
ether business concerns. Because of
the deflation of- prices, he said,
losses Were unavoidable. Another
reason for the failure of the exchange
to function at a profit was because
the farmers had failed to patronize it.
Stockholders of "the exchange in
surance company are to- hold their
meeting this morning. "

Weeks to Confer
With Ford About
Muscle Shoals
Secretary of War Prepares
Questions ou Nitrate Plant
to Submit to Detroit
. t
Manufacturer.
Washington, Jan. U?. Secretary
Weeks arranged today to confer with
Henrv Ford and his advisers to.
morrow, in an effort to adjust dif
ferences between government of-
ficals and the Detroit manufacturer,
relative to. the latfer's proposal to
purchase and lease the nitrate and
water power projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala. The conference was ex
pected to conclude the long pending
negotiations and make it possible
for the war secretary to take final
action' within two weeks.
It was stated definitely that un
less alterations were agreed to in
the conference, the offer could not
be submitted to congress with a fav
orable recommendation.
Secretary. Weeks was known to
have prepared a questionnaire to
present to Mr. Ford for answer. The
result of;'-the answers, it was said,
would go far toward bringing the
two groups to an understanding.
Officials described the questions as
aimed at provisions of the offer deal
ing with future operation of the plants
at Muscle Shoals. One was said
to involve the future use of the
plants if experiments provide com
mercial fertilizer compounds could
not be manufactured at a profit.
Along this line, it was understood,
the secretary would asks what Mr.
Ford would decide upon as a sub
stitute product, whether it would be
something for the nati6nal good and
how long he, would be willing to
manufacture fertilizer at a loss and
whether he would he willing to give
a sufficient surety bond to the gov
ernment to guarantee production of
fertilizer compounds despite possible
losses through its continued produc
tion. It was suggested as probable that
M r. Ford would ask for time in
which to study the questions before
attempting ; to- answer them. Two
weeks was said to be a reasonable
allowance for this.
Burch Witnesses Are
Termed 'Liars by Clock'
Los Angeles, Ca!., Jan. 12. "Liars
by the. clock" was the phrase applied
to certain prosecution witnesses yes
terday by Attorney John J. Sullivan
of Seattle, Wash., who was sched
uled to resume today the opening
argument for the defense in the trial
of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the
murder of J. Belton Kennedy.
Mr. Sullivan also contended before
the jury that letters written by Mrs.i
Madalynne Obenchain, co-defendant
with Burch, to Kennedy and intro
duced by the state, indicated "a love
which endured1 to the end," rather
than one which turned, to hate and
resulted, as alleged by the prosecu
tion, in the instigation by her of the
slaying of Kennedy by Burch.
. lhe case is expected to go to the
jury either Friday night or Saturday
morning.
Fight Not Justification
for Discharge of Rail Man
Chicago, Jan. ' 12. If a railroad em

in the Chicago shops of the North

he was dismissed on November 10,
1920, because he had a fist fight with
