Says Situation Clarified.
Congressman Green of Iowa, rank
ing member of the way and means
oiiitiiittce, who has given the bonus
bill much study, naid. after the
oinmittce had reached itt agree
ment as to the general provisions
ot the bill:
"The new bill will clarify the
situation, and aready it is meeting
with funeral acceptance. liven
thoc opposed to the bill in Uie last
pstrt have been won over because
of its fairness. Governor Harding ol
the federal reserve board says that
there are no financial difficulties in
the way of its enactment.
No Certificates Needed.
"The comparatively small amount
of money necessary in the next three
years to carry out the provisions of
the bill, which will probably be re
ported on Tuesday, will be provided
by the savings in the navy and
army appropriations bills, made pos
sible by the arms conference, and.
what is still finer, no treasury certi
ficates will be made necessary within
the period specified,
"A small amount of money may
be necessarry to start the home and
land settlement, but that will not '
be under operation for at least two
3 ears.
Provides Cash Payment.
".The bill will provide for a cah
payment of $1 per day to enlisted
men who served between 60 and 110
iays, on America soil, and $1.25 per
day who served on foreign soil.
There are about 475,000 of these
men which will require in the neigh
borhood of $16,000,000 to pay them
outright.
"Insurance certificates will be Is
sued to the rest of the American
army which may be used as col
lateral after a certain period.
"I believe this the very best com
promise that could be had in View
of so manv conflicting views."

was withheld from him by the Berg
company until the note in the bank
was paid, btarr testified.
Stirring promises of future riches
were held out to stockholders by
communications from the Berg office,
according to letters introduced as
exhibits vestcrdav.
"We feci we have something very
good in store for you at our next
annual meeting. It will make you all
very happy," Jacob Masse, secretary
and one of the four defendants in the
trial, wrote to Lear in December,
1918.
"Your stock at $100 per share has
been changed to S1Z5 and $200 on
our books," William A. McWhorter
wrote to Starr. "There is no douht
it will soon be worth more than $200
as our plant will begin producing
potash soon, iou know what that
means."
Whfn C C. Parpk- rnshiVr of the
hink of Touhy, voiced doubts about
tile legality ot the .Berg corporation
and its sale of stock, McWhorter and
W. G. Chipley motored to Touhy
from Omaha to convince him it was
all right, Carck testified. Mo
Whorter told him he had applied for
a stock permit.
His enthusiasm induced him to buy
$400 worth of stock, said Carek.
Painter Buys Some.
; "Their agent offered me a commis
sion if I helped sell stqck but I never
got any, he testified.
McWhorter also allayed the fears
of August Buctncr of Madison when
the latter wrote ' him about rumors
that the potash plant would not be
finished and that the company was to
be sold out.
"The rumor is not t,rue. Your $100
shares are transferred on our books
to $150 and $200,"' McWhorter wrote
him October 30, 1918. Whenever
yu get any more rumors of this
kind bring them right to headquar
ters." ;A, G. Keller, painter at Spring
view, testified to the purchase of $400
in stock.
;, Chipley Family Prominent.
Attorney De Voc, who is also a
bank, officer, admitted on the stand
that he asked Berg company officers
to indorse their name, not the com
pany name, to- checks he gave in
payment for his $2,000 in stock.
"I wanted to keep the matter pri
vate," he said.
The family of William G. Chipley,
one defendant, is among the most
prominent in Pensacola, Fla., ac
cording to J. J. Draekford, United
States revnue agent, who was in the
court room today.
"Chipley's father, known as Col
onel Chipley, helped build and de
velop the state," he said. "He was
vice president of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad and prominent
throughout the south."

ter than the county roads and per
manent, beside. We realize the
thousands of dollars spent by the
counties on slipshod road work each
year, which had to be done over the
next year. We are thankful to the
state for permanent roads."
Cannot Investigate Counties.
The committee discussed asking
all counties which had not complete
records of the $17,500,000 expended
by the counties for roads to call for
an audit to learn where the money
went. It was decided the commit
tee had no such jurisdiction and it
was a matter for the counties to de
cide. The Lyda request was turned
down for that reason.
Johnson charged that complaints
purporting to come from official
county sources in Sherman county
had really been 'made by certain
persons with axes to grind, wno
obtained the Sherman county clerk's
stationery. 1 he committee intends
to visit Sherman county and probe
to the bottom ot the trouble there.
Representative Henry Bock or
Eutler county, democrat, oppeared
before the committee to complain
how the federal aid money was ap
portioned in various counties.
'Mr. Bock," said Representative
Fred Hoffmeister, democratic mem
ber of the probe committee, "that
money is apportioned as the federal
and state government decided it
should be. The legislature of Ne
braska is responsible for it and this
committee is not.
Charge Publicity Seekinsr.
"Even if you are a fellow demo
ocrat, I must say that you are out
of place with objections of that kind
before this committee. The legisla
ture asked us to probe relative costs
of county and state roads, not to
make laws. Do you know anything
about the cost of roads which will
help us?"
Bock had no information about
road costs.
"He wants to get in the news
papers; let him go," said Johnson.
Federal aid grading work otV the
Lincoln highway from Omaha to the
Dodge county line was drawn into
the probe when T. W. Hamilton, an
assistant state engineer, was called
by Charles Epperson, a member, of
the probe committee, who has been
attacking the state and federal road
methods.
Notes Were Changed.
Hamilton testified that he was
given field notes on the excavation
necessary, prepared by J. H. Hine,
an assistant Douglas county engi
neer. Hamilton said none of the notes
had been erased, but that additional
notes had been added from which
one might assume that contractors
had been paid for more excavating
than they did.
He said he took this uo with
Thomas Allen, then United States
attorney, that Allen wrote to Gov
ernor McKelvie and that McKelvie
and Allen then summoned a federal,
a state and county engineer who
checked up everything and found that
no contractor had been paid for
more work than he did.
"Does the fact that a government, a
state and a county engineer checked
this matter up and found it all
straight satisfy you?" the governor
asked Epperson.
.No"; he replied.
Epperson Hard to Please.
"Will you outline some method
of investigation that will satisfy
you?" the governor then asked.
Twill not," exclaimed Epperson.
Hine was then called and ex
plained that the additional field notes
were put in because of a dispute be
tween the county and the Union Pa
cific railroad regarding where the
road should run at certain points.
tngincer Johnson said he has
never been able to find this field
note book.
Engineer Hamilton testified re
garding one job in Boyd county
where the first contractor got 38
cents a yard for excavation, the first
subcontractor, 28 cents and a second
subcontractor, for - short stretch
only, 15 cents. The -ar knew noth
ing of bidding and "went broke" on ;
the job and disappeared from it, he j
sain. .
Hamilton said he believed that in
Pennsylvania and Michigan subcon
tracting is not permitted.

Nephew Only Heir
to Pope Benedict
Late Pontiff Disposed of All
Personal Property at Time
of Elevation.
Br Tha Associated Press.
Rome, March 3. The late Pope
Benedict, when he died, wa,s pos
sessed of no property "except those
few beloneincs which, before my
assumption of the Roman pontificate,
were already publicly registered in
my name and located in the com
mune of Pceli. near Genoa and Bo
logna." These belongings were left
by him to his nephew, the son of
his brother. Giovanni Antonio Delia
Chiesa. The pontiff disposed of all
of his personal estate after his eleva
tion. These facts became known today
when the will of Benedict was
opened. It was dated February 20,
1916, and its contents indicated that
it was drawn while the pope reflect
ed on the terrors of the war. In part
the will says:
The thought that my life is in
God's hands and that any moment
I might be taken away, counsels me
to make my last will and testament,
principally to declare the nature of
the belongings of which I now am
in possession.
"Having invoked the divine aid
and putting my trust in the inter
cessions of the Most Holy Virgin
and of Saints Joseph, Peter, Paul,
James and Benedict, I accept, even
to the hour of my death that mo
ment ordained by God for the end
of my existence; and for that hour
I declare that I do not possess title
to any property except those few be
longings, which before my assump
tion of the Roman pontificate, were
already publicly registered in my
name and located in the communes
of Pegli and Bologna.
"On my elevation to the pontifi
cate, I voluntarily deprived myself
of possession of all personal 'goods
I owned. Regarding the above named
goods registered in the public regis
try, unless otherwise disposed of be
fore my death, I name as my heir,
my nephew, Gieussep Delia Chiesa,.
son of my brother, Giovanni Antonio.

Confidence Games
Based on Cupidity
Chicaao. March 3. "The. con(V
dence eame is as old as the deception
of Essau and it is based now, as men

"T here is no cause for alarm in tne

This sort of thine has been going on
always. We have had tne boutn sea
