Senator Six Years.
Mr. Millard was United States
senator from 1901 to 1907 and was
president of the Omaha National
bank for nearly half a century. He
was the oldest banker in Omaha,
measuring both years of business and
age. During the entire half century
he has been closely identified with
the financial interests and progress
of the city.
Mr. Millard was born on a farm
ncar Hamilton, Ont., Can., in April,
1836. His father was a nitive of
Massachusetts and his mother, Eliza
beth Hopkins, -was a native of New
Jersey, Hij early education was
acquired in the common schools.
The humble circumstances of his
family prevented his regular' attend
ance. When he was 14 years old
ais parents became residents of
Jackson county, Iowa, and there be
received district school training a
well as training in the tilling of the
soil.
Entered Land Agency.
""At the age of 18 Mr. Millard left

.Mitton T. Barlow, chairman of the
hoard of directors of the United
States National bank, and next to
' loscph'H. Millard the oldest Omaha
banker, was notified of Mr. Millard's
death at the Omaha club.'
"Mr. Millard has been here ever
since the commencement of the
tity," he said. "He has been a great
influence for good.and a powerful in
fluence for progress, not only m
Omaha, hut throughout the state. He
was rewarded by being elected to the
fenatorship. ; '
"Mr. Mill'.rd's death will be a blow
to all Omaha bankers. He has al
ways been a leader, and he has the
respect of his competitors."

Plattsmouth Losing Out
, on Fines, Due to State Law
Plattsmouth, Neb., Jan. 13. (Spe
cial.) The state law which prevents
more than one justice of peace be
ing elected or -appointed jn cities
of riaUsmouth's size is costing the
city a neat sum monthly in fines.
When Judge M. Archer, veteran po
. lice magistrate, became ill some
weeks ago, the matter of an addi
tional appointment was laid before
the county commissioners. In the
meantime city cases were being tried
before the county judge and fines
reverting to the county. Now that
the law has been found adverse to
such action, the only solution lies
' in securing the resignation of Judge
Archer, which has not been forth
coming, or to continue the trial of
rases before the county judge until
the expiration of Mr. Archer's term,
nearly a year hence.

Congress Favors
Drastic Action
in Packer Strike
Efforts to End Walkout by
Arbitration Determined
Upon at Conference
Held in Washington.
Washington, Jan. 13. Efforts -to
bring about government arbitration
of the strike of packer employes
were determined upon at a confer
ence attended by about SO representa
tives in congress. Representative
Knutson of Minnesota announced
after the meeting that "if the efforts
to bring about arbitration . should
prove ineffectual, drastic action by
congress would follow."
Congressmen from all sections of
the country and representing all in
terests, Mr. Knutson said, expressed
themselves as favoring government
action in connection with the strike
and a committee was named to wait
on Secretaries Davis. Hoover and
Wallace to take up the matter with
them. This committee includes Rep
resentatives Keller ' of Minnesota,
chairman; Haugen of Iowa, Knut
son of Minnesota, Reavis of Ne
braska, Nolan of California, Sabath
of Illinois, Oldfield of Arkansas,
Kleczka of Wisconsin and Woodruff
of Michigan. . - .
"A number of those present," Mr.
Knutson declared, "commented upon
the inconsistency of the packers in
opposing arbitration. It was recalled
that in 1917, when labor was scarce
and the market active, the packers'
requested the government to inter
cede in similar circumstances, with
.satisfactory results. But now that
the problem of unemployment is
acute, they refuse to arbitrate."
Court Asked to Expedite
- Packer Control -Test Case
Washington, Jan. 7. The su
preme court will be asked to ex
pedite action of the case to test the
constitutionality of the packer con
trol act, it was said today at the
department of justice, to clear up the
question of its validity as soon as
possible. ..;
Representatives of the commission
merchants of Chicago, who appealed
from the Chicago courts where ' a
stay of the operation of the act was
refused, conferred recently with Sor
licitor General Beck, and agreed
that the government should seek
expedition of the case. ,. ,

Poincare Seeks
to Form Cabinet
to Follow Briand
Sentiment in French" Parlia
ment Favors Invitation to
Briand to Resume
Power.
Paris. Jan. 13.-(By A. P.)-Ray-mond
Poincare, former president of
France, was seeking today to form
a cabinet to succeed that under Aris
tide Briand, which resigned yester
day. The manner of M. Briand's dra
matic exit, however, while on the ap
parent verge of an overwhelming
vote of confidence in the chamber of
deputies, has caused a certain reac
tion in his .favor, and besides, M.
Poincare has a strong opposition in
parliament. Neither is the former
president too popular with a large
section of the general public.
Added to this, many members ot
parliament hold that President Mil
lerand, according to constitutional
practice, should invite M. Briand to
resume power with another combi
nation of ministers, inasmuch as he
was not beaten by a vote in parlia
ment. M. Briand, however, stated
to newspaper men last night that his
resignation was "absolutely final."
In accordance with custom, the pres
ident has asked the members of the
Briand cabinet to conduct their de
partments until a new ministry can
be formed. ,
M. Millerand and Poincare in a
conversation last night decided that
if the latter formed a ministry the
conference broken off at Cannes
would be resumed by the new pre
mier after an understanding had been
reached between the heads of the
governments of the allied powers.

today at the rniiilujiion of confer
riiiTS between government ollicil
and Mr. l"onl. Accompanying the
I'ord propo-.il when it i tranmiitt'd.
Srerrurv Week said. probably
would br the two offers received
from Frederick Eitostritni of W'iU
miniiton; N. C, and C C. Tinkler of
San Francisco.
The decii"ii to forward the three
offers t the legislative branch' of
the Kovtriuui-nt, it was slated, was
reached after consideration of the
question by executive officials lasting
more than six month.
Actual transmission of the pro
posals is not expected for at least
two weeks. It was explained that
the Ford proposal first would be
drafted in Contract form bv officers
of the War department and submit
ted to Mr. Ford for bis signature be
fore it was submitted to congress.
Weeks to Make Report
While th legal departments arc
working on the contract, it was stat
ed, Secretary. Weeks would prepare
a report for congress containing
"comments" for their information.
Some officials said they believed it
would require a week to prepare the
contract and probably another week
or more to obtain the signature of
Mr. Ford. The contract will be sent
to Mr. Ford when it is drafted. .
Secretary Weeks said he was dis
appointed that Mr. Ford declined to
agree to certain modifications of his
p;ans, which were held desirable by
his conferees. One of these was
known to be that affecting the re
duction of the 100-year lease period.
The principal modification agreed to
by Mr. Ford was to guarantee pay
ment of 4 per cent interest on the
cost of construction of dams Nos.
2 and 3, regardless of the cost, where
as at first he offered interest only on
?28,000,000.
Task for Congress.
It was explained that Mr. Ford's
refusal to accept the modification pro
posed for reduction of the 100-year
term probably would give congress
an added task in connection with its
consideration of the offer. Existing
laws regulating lease of properties
possessed by the federal government,
it was explained, limit the period of
maximum lease to less than a cen
tury and congress probably would
have to modify the statutes in the
event it decided to accept the Ford
proposal.' - .
Mr. Ford, however, was said to be
unwilling to agree to a shorter tini
the financial investment he would,
make would involve a greater amount
of monev than he was prepared o
pend under any period less tnan iuu
years.
Several members of both the house
and senate made no effort tonight to
disguise their fears that both houses
of congress would be divided on the
question. While acceptance will be
urged by many members from the
south, it was anticipated that no
small number from other sections or
the country would oppose its accept
ance.

Hunger for Publicity Undoing
of Fugitive ' Accused of
Misrepresenting Stock
to Widow.
Lincoln, Jan. 13. (Special.)
Hunger for publicity proved the un
doing of Perry Anthony, Lincoln
stock salesman, arrested at Winni
peg, Canada, today by State Sheriff
Ous Hvers on a charge ot misrep
resenting stock sold to a Lincoln
widow.
Anthonv was . first , arrested at
Junction City, Kan.,s and was taken
from there to Kansas City where he
was placed in jail pending arrival
of Nebraska officers.
Fails to Surrender,
When a deputy state ."sheriff
arrived in Kansas City he said he
was told by Kansas City polfce that
Anthony narrated such a good story
of injured innocence and a desire to
return to Lincoln, : unaccompanied,
to clear the charges against him,
that oolice took him to the station
and put him on a Lincoln tram: But
Anthony failed to surrender to ofr
licers as he promised,
A' few davs later, letters written
by Anthony from a Chicago-Duluth
train were received and published 1y
Lincoln newspapers at his request,
In these letters Anthony declared a
stock salesman wasn't nearly as
guilty in selling bogus stock as the
officials of the stock company. While
he was gone a grand jury was called
at Lincoln to determine the guilt of
certain officials of stock selling con
cerns. v '
Traced by Letters.
Hyers , obtained the letters and
started out in search of Anthonyt
going first to Duluth. Anthony has
just one arm and tracing him was
made easier. Today, C. E. Matson,
county attorney, received the follow
ing telegram trorn iiyers at Winnipeg:-
-; ! . ' '
"Anthony arrested. Postmarks on
letters to newspapers gave me clue
and followed him to Duluth. then
to Winnipeg, where I caught him."
Grand Jury Can Meet t
Any Time, Court Holds
Lincoln, Jan. 13. (Special.) The
Nebraska suoreme court plowed
thrmio'lt numerous technicalities of
the law today and issued an opinion
that district judges may call a grand
jury at any lime when in their opinion
public welfare and justice demand
it.' ,
This point came up in the appeal
of Lewis J. Pinn, convicted in Kear
ney county oil : a perjury charge
growing out of a grand jury indict
ment. Finn's attorneys declared
the conviction was illegal because
the jury was called during a district
court term and declared that a tech
nicality of the law states it could
only be called at the beginning of
a term. -
The Lincoln grand jury, recom
mended by Attorney General Davis
in October, was delayed by Lancast
er' .county judges because of ' this
technicality and was not called until
opening of the January term.
To Aid Unemployed.
Lynn. Mass., Jan. 13. Employes

off during the winter.
Harding Opposed
to Merging Bonus
and Refund Bills
President Said to Regard Plan
As Impractical Urges
" Definite Provision for
: ; : Payment.
Washington Jan. 13. President
Harding does not look with favor on
the sueccstion before senate repuu
l-'can leaders that the soldiers' bonus
and the allied debt refunding bill
should be combined when taken up
at this session of congress. Although
the merger , plan was favored by a
number of senate leaders, the presi
dent was said to regard it as imprac
tical and his view was reflected in
further conferences today between
senate leaders.
The president's objections to the
mereer were said bv callers at the
White House to be based on his de
sire for the assurance that prov'siorj
would be made tor payment or tne
bonus. So far as the refunding bill
is concerned, he was said to believe
that the refunding process should be
developed to insure returns from the
allied loans before steps were taken
to pledge them for a bonus.
He was represented, however, as
not hostile to the suggestion that the
interest or principal of the allied
loans be used for paying the bonus
once they were available, and it was
stated definitely that he would not
oppose a sales tax for the purpose of
paying the bonus, it congress snouia
decide upon that plan.
The president, however, was said
to regard as impractical a sugges
tion that over $400,000,000 in the
hands of the alien property custodian
be used for bonus payments. These
funds, it was said, were regarded as
oledeed technically to private in
dividuals whose property was taken.

Los Aueeles. Jan. 13. The case of
Arthur C. Burch, accused of murder
ing J. Belton Kennedy here August
5. was sriven to the jury at 3:57

Burch smiled as the 10 women and
two men filed out of the courtroom.
He often had said he hoped his fate
would be out in the hands of the
jurors on a Friday, the 13th day of
the month. The case went to trial
citrht weeks ago. . -

o'clock
Burch smiled and some women
inrnrs went as Woolwine closed the
final argument with a description of
the "desolation", of the ; parents of
the. murdered boy,, as he cnar
acterized Kennedy.
Burch seemed in high good humor
as he was led awav to jail. He ex
pressed confidence that he would be
found not guilty. .
Judge Sidney N. Reeve's instructions
to the jury occupied half an hour and
included, beside definitions of first
and second degree murder, the state
mcnt that for the jury to determine
that Burch was insane, it would have
to find that he did not understand the
nature of the act alleged to have
been committed in the slaying of
Kcnnedv. '
Mrs. Belle Harris! the 13th or al
ternate juror, was excused at the con
clusion of the arguments. She de
clined to discuss the evidence, saying
that she was not called upon to ren
der a verdict and "had none to give.
Both of today s sessions of court
were given over, in main io argu
ment by the district attorney, who
called Burch a "miserable, cowardly
little assassin." operating in a "foul
conspiracy." lie caned Mrs. iviaaa

with Burch and who is in jan await
