"The third influence I referred to is a restoration of confidence among the people of Nebraska, as well as throughout the country, on account of the work of the limitation of arms conference. N'cbraskans have confidence that President Harding and Secretary Hughes have so ad justed matters that the safety and security of the young men against being called to war service has been reduced to a minimum and that the pursuits of peace, rather than the pursuits of destruction, will be the order of things. "I cannot omit reference to the beneficial results of the farm confer ence called by President Harding. The attendants of this conference were brought to a keener apprecia tion of the interdependence of all industries in their relations to the general welfare of the entire coun try. They were convinced that the country has a president who is able and willing to adjust the affairs of the nation on an equable and stable basis." Refers to Candidacy.

After the Dalton robbery some newspapers quoted Dalton as saying that lie had committed his robbery because he felt, through Judtfc Lan dis remarks, that nothing would be dene to htm. IaIton never said this and later in a signed statement said that he had never before heard of Judge I.audis remarks. The story had spread, however, and the judge was severely condemned as having made statements which were de clared to have influenced Dalton. Head of Organ:zed Baseball. The judge became brad of organ ized baseball shortly after the grand jury investigation into the 1919 world series scandal. He was offered $50, 000 a year to take the position and after several refusals, finally agreed under condition that he remain on the bench, too. He insisted that his salary be only $42,500, explaining that his judicial income would bring the total to $.i0,U00. Although 58 years old, Judge Lan dis has always been known as a boy at heart and a lover of all forms of sport. The baseball magnates urged him to reorganize baseball "lor the sake of the American boy," and it was this plea which finally won over the jurist. Unusual Conduct in Court The resignation of Judge Landis takes from the federal bench one of the most feared and at the same time the most respected judges in the country. His unusual conduct in court, where he frequently took cases out of attorneys' hands and exam ined witnesses himsclt caused him to be feared by all lawbreakers, at the same time his reputation for ad ministering justice, regardless ol technicalities which sometimes ob scured pertinent facts, brought him universal respect. lie was vigorous in his attitude against anti-Americans during the war. His son. Keed Landis, was serving with the British air service, and the judge several times tried to obtain war work which would send him across, but failed. In every war case brought before him where the defendant was found guilty the judge imposed heavy sentences. His strong rancor against un- American ism was plainly demon strated in the trials of I. W. W.'s, socialists and pacifists brought be fore him. In one speech during the war he advocated that the German kaiser and his six sons be executed by al lied firing squads out of justice to humanity." udee Landis was one ot the M persons to whom bombs were mailed on May day, 1919, and during the 1911 blackhand trials here he re ceived many death threats. Against the wishes of his iriends, he insisted on sitting through the trials. Fined Standard Oil. Judge Landis first became a na tional figure when he fined the Standard Oil company of Indiana $29,240,000, which decision later was reversed by a higher court. In the court room th judge always was a oicturesque ngurc, not ouiy because of his flowing white hair but because of his keen wit. rie once barred "wrist-watched" lawyers and was drastic in his action against the court room loafers or "court room lizards," as he called them. Tudee Landis said he had mailed his resignation today, addressing it to President Harding personally. Upon, hearing of Judge Landis resignation, l-ederal Judge Ueorge A. Carpenter said: ' It is a matter of great regret to r 1 C 1 1 tt me. lie was a wonaenui juage. "The government has lost one of its most valuable servants, said Charles Clyne, United States district attorney.

Quits Bench for Work as Baseball Arbiter f i -r. . ; ; I' ' ' r$ Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Gaeden County Upset hy Special Session Laws Oshkosh. Xeb., Feb. 18. (Spe cial.) The county commissioners are indulging in a little figuring on account of the action of the last leg islature, wherein appropriations were cut off for building at least two state aid bridges this summer. The bonds for the county's portion were sold some time ago and acting upon the approval of the state department the commissioners had been making plans to complete this work as early as possible, aow the county has funds, but gets no assistance from the state. Another act that has caused some concern was the lopping off of over 80 sections of Garden county lands and delivering them to the 'county of Arthur, with no Strings attached, or without asking of Garden county "by your leave." Fremont Woman Gets $1 Alimony Ahuse on Hollywood Style Al leged by Wife Husband Denies Croclty. Fremont, Neb.. Feb. 18. (Special Telegram.) Mrs. Ella Hassc, wife of Hugo IIasse prominent Fremont real csiate man, was awaraeu a oi vorce decree here in which her hus band must pay her attorney's fee of $150 and a stipulation of $1 as a marriage settlement. Kolh are well known in this vicinity and the case has attracted considerable attcntiotn. The couple lived together less than a year when they found discontent had sprung up, resulting in the hus band's alleged threat to leave their home and his refusal to provide for her maintenance. Mr. and Mrs. Ilasse were married n Omaha on January 4. 1921. In the fall of the same year Mrs. Hasse complains that while at the home of her mother, she was viciously as saulted and beaten ur bv her hus band. She charges that Ilasse beat ler with fists and scratched her face. The wife says that she was again attacked by her spouse at their home on December 24. He choked her, says the wife, and apparently in regular movie-like fashion, he threw her over a couch. In addition Mrs. Hassc complains that her husband called her vile and indecent names. This alleged fracas was the cli max, according to the petition for divorce, in which Mrs. Ilasse states that her husband deserted her on this same day, saying that he would no longer provide for her. Hasse's earning capacity amounts to about five or six thousand dollars a year, according to his wife. She also claims that he owns property valued at $10,000. The husband's answer to the pe tition for divorce denied every alle gation, including his alleged cruelty and his income. Red Willow County Man Pleads Guilty to Slaying McCook, Neb., Feb. IS.

Counties Unable to Find Cost of Building Road; Incomplete Records Will Hin der Probe Ordered by Legislature Only Two Reports Received. Lincoln, Feb. 18.-(Spccial.)-Xe-braska taxpayers may never be able to get a detailed statement as to where ?20,OO0.il(ii) spent in bitilclin county roads and bridges since 1917 has gone. Officials in charge of the investi gation committee appointed by the last legislature admit that few county clerks have in anyway complied with the law passed in 191 7 demanding itemized accounts of funds used on various roads and bridges built in their counties under supervision of county commissioners. Information of this description, to gether with iiainrs of contractors and sub-contractors doing the work since 1917, was demanded three weeks ago by Attorney General Clarence A. Davis, in preparation for the big road probe to open February 28. Two Counties Report So far. according to authentic re ports emanating from state officials, only two counties have furnished clear and concise information on county road building in compliant with the law. Those are Lancaster and Douglas counties. Few of the county clerks have answered tU- attorney general's ques tionnaire. From Box Butte county's highway commissioner a confession has been received that exceptinir for the year 1921 no official records of road projects and the money spent on them have been kept. This is taken to mean that at the start the investigation committee will be hampered in gaining authentic in formation on the relative cost of construction of state and county roads. State Costs Ready. Under the supervision of George Johnson, state engineer, books have been kept on- every road project un der state and federal aid, a list of contractors and subcontractors is at the committee's disposal the minute the investigation begins, and, if de sired, Johnson can show almost to the yard how much every state and federal road project has cost. Johnson's books were prepared at the same time the law was passed in 1917, demanding that both state and county officials keep a detailed record of road building. The same books were sent to county clerks for maintaining such records as were used by tlie state. Accountants Are Needed. The only road open to taxpayers in counties desiring information as to where their county road and bridge money has been spent is to employ expert accountants and engineers to pore through the loose leaf proceed ings of commissioners' reports and reports of county engineers. This was done in Richardson county last summer by George Johnson, state engineer, when that county became involved in a road building scandal and demanded an investigation. Johnson stated that he found that the law asking for a uniform system of bookkeeping had been ignored and it took three months of the time of an engineer and bookkeeper to discover where the funds had gone. This work cost $600. ' Old State House Stone May Be Used at Penitentiary Lincoln, Feb. 18. (Special.) Stone from the old state ho-use may be hauled to the state penitentiary by convicts and used in making the enclosed area twice as large and in building new buildings inside the area. Warden W. T. Fenton and the state board of control are working on such a plan. The rapidly increas ing population of the penitentiary, with the consequent necessity of more prison activities, will, in a short time, make enlargement of the enclosed wall area necessary.
