Poison Gas
Commission of lvxporl Now
in United State to Study
American Method.
War Heads Give 0. K.
By ARTHUR SCARS HENNINC.
Onrnlie ItM Imh4 Mir.
Washington, March 18. Great
I'-ritaiii lias decided to take no
Lances on tlie dccire of the arms
conference which bans the use of
pokon gas in war. Kvcn if it should
become recognized international
law in time l.ngl.incl 1'i-rrcivci the
Imsi1iitity( if not probability, of its
iolation in time of war and intends
to tc prepared for contingencies.
Despite the sweeping condemns
t;oii of poison pas by the arms con
ference, signed by representatives ot
the five leading world powers, Great
liritaiu will continue without cur
tailment her experimentation and re
search in chemical warfare, it was
learned in an authoritative quarter
today.
A commission of British experts
now in the United States is charg
ed with the duty of investigating
American methods for producing
noxious gases, with a view to incor
porating into the British service any
improvements which may be discov
ered. The investigations of this
commission, which is beaded by Col,
M. L. Wilkinson of the British
army, will include both industrial
and military plants. Permission for
the visitors to inspect Kdgewood,
the army gas center, as well as sev
eral other army camps and posts,
ban already been granted' by the
War department.
Nothing Will Be Secret. .
According to American army of
ficials nothing will be kept secret
from the Britishers and Capt. J. J).
Pratt, formerly of the famous Gor
don Highlanders and now a special
ist in the British chemical warfare
service, is expected to spend a Con
siderable period of time at Kdge
wood in order to acquaint himself
thoroughly with the American mcth
" ods both for the manufacture of gas
and for defense against it.
The commission also has been
authorized to visit the Aberdeen,
(Nld.) proving grounds, the infan
try school at Camp Benning, and
the army establishment at Fort Sill.,
r Okl. It is understood that the vis-
iting officers will make reports to
. their government on chemical war
fare, tanks, infantry and artillery.
American gas experts are thor
oughly in sympathy with the British
point of view regarding chemical
warfare. The attitude of the Brit
ish subcommittee on chemical war
fare, according to the British officers,
is that the only defense against
poison gas is preparedness. At Por
ton, eight miles from Salisbury, in
England, the government has es
tablished a large experimental sta
tion, with a staff of experts drawn
from the army, the navy and from
civil life, and this corps of experts
will devote its entire attention to
the development of noxious gases
and to devising protections against
them.
Open Gas Defense School.
The British army, it is stated, has
already definitely decided that the
gas mask shall be a part of the reg
ular equipment of every British sol

are erving short-term sentences.
He shoveled coal.
The young millionaire, who is
serving five days for speeding, took
the menial work with good grace.
One of his fellow prisoners, ap
parently in facetious mood, told
him if he preferred to "sit round"
all that was necessary was re
fusal to work, which would ltad to
confinement in the prison dungeon.
Dodge merely shook his hesd
and pushed his shovel into the fuel
pile.
Dodge last night ate the prison
supper of noodle soup, apple sauce,
bread and black coffee and spent his
second night in jail on one of the
cots in a corridor, provided for
short-term prisoners.

Ruling Delayed by Gillett
II r Th AMarlaln! I'r4.
Washington, March 18. The sol
dier' bonus tnudille is to be referred
to l'residciit Harding again.
Representative Moudcll of Wyom
ing, the republican house leader, an
nounced that lie had requested a con
ference with the executive for to
morrow evening alter the return of
Mr. Harding from Florida, tie sum
he would be accompanied to the
While House by such other mem
bers of the house handling the bonus
legislation as the president might
wish to consult.
The specific purpose of the pro
posed conference was not dUcIosed
by Mr. Mondell, but it was reported
that he would seek to obtain th;
president's views on the compromise
bill with its bank loan provision in
lieu of a cash bonus, as well as his
opinion as to whether the measure
should be called up Monday under a
suspension of the rules as most
house leaders desire.
Mr. Mondcll's announcement fol
lowed a conference between Speaker
Gillett and 27 republican house lead
ers, arranged primarily to discuss the
question of procedure in considering
the bill.
To Decide Monday.
Mr. Gillett announced afterwards
that he would not make up his mind
before Mondav morninc as to whetli.
cr he would entertain a motion
to suspend the rules and pass the
bill. Such a motion would block all
amendments and also prevent a mo
tion to recommit the bill with in
structions to the ways and means
committee.
The conference in the speaker's of
fice lasted more than an hour and
was behind closed doors. Mr. Mon
dell was delegated as official spokes
man and made this statement:
'"We discussed the question of the
bogus "lJl.it phases, fully, freely,
good fiaturedly, but did not reach
any definite conclusion or make anv
definite arrangement.''
Chairman Fordney of the" ways and
means committee said he had noth
ing to4 add to that statement.
"I want -to call up the bill just
as soon as possible," he said. "It's
going to be passed quickly. I don't
think we change the crossing of Y
or the -dotting of an 'i.' We have
a good bill."
Petition Held Back.
Representative Lineberger of Cali
fornia, a former service -oian who
holds a petition bearing a sufficient
number of signatures of house ma
jority members to insure the calling
of a party conference for next Tues
day evening, attended the confer
ence with the speaker. He also had
a long talk with Mr. Mondell, but
declined to say what had transpired.
Mr. Lineberger is withholding the
presentation of his petition to Chair
man Towner of the house reoublican
organization, explaining that he hop
ed it would be possible to achieve
without a conference, the things that
he and other signers of the petition
expected to accomplish through a
party . meeting. When he circulated
the petition he said it was the pur
pose to have the whole bonus ques-
t'on threshed out bv the reoublican
membership.
Preparation of minority reports on
tne Donus bill by both democratic
and republican members of the ways
and means committee was finished
today but will not be presented un
til Monday.
Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina, the democratic house-lead
er, who appeared unexpectedly at
the capitol yesterday lor the tirst
time in nearly a year, and other
democrats were writing a report op
posing the bank loan provision. Rep
resentatives Treadway and - Tilson
were preparing a joint , report for
the republican minority.
Centralized System Is i
Big Need in Alaska
Washington, March 18. The
"paramount, overshadowing need" in
Alaska, is a "simplified and co-ordinated
and centralized system of
administration," Governor Scott C.
Bone of that territory declared at a
dinner tendered him by Col. Freder
ick Mears, U. S. A., chairman of the
Alaskan engineering commission, and
Col. E. Lester Jones, chairman of
the Alaskan boundary commission.
"The present order of things in
Alaska is chaotic and impossible,"
Governor Bone said. "Bureaucratic
control has paralyzed and palsied
this rich domain, which has actually
gone backward for 12 years and to
day is at a standstill. A consolida
tion of the essential bureaus under
one department here at Washington,
with the administration ' brought
closer home to Alaska, is a pre
requisite to p: ogress and prosperity
in Alaska. It must be made easier
for people and capital to gain a foot
hold in Alaska. The present system
is unworkable, unbusiness like and
positively repressive."

Auto Show Excels
1921 Attendance
by High Average
Result3 Exceed Expectations
Even of Optimistic Many
Cars and Trucks Are
Sold.
The 17th annual Automobile show
came to a close at the Auditorium
last night after a week's showing
that far exceeded the expectations of
the optimistic when the show was
being planned several weeks ago.
Some automobile men at that time
believed that business conditions
then prevailing would be detrimen
tal. These predictions missed fire.
Waugh Gives Attendance.
"The show far exceeded anything
we expected or had the right to ex
pect," A. B. Waugh, manager of the
show, said last night. "Our atten
dance for the week averaged 20 per
cent higher than last year. We had
125 passenger cars and SO trucks on
display as well as one of the best
accessories exhibits we have ever had.
"I attribute the success of the
show to the rise and stabilization of
farm prices as well as the factory
prices of cars. When the farmer ex
periences prosperity everybody else
does. The rise in price of farm prod
ucts created a renewed interest in
the automobile industry.
."There were more passenger cars
and trucks sold at this show than at
any show here for years.
Low Fares Helped.
"Redjiced fares on all railroads
helped to swell the attendance. We
had close to 1,400 dealers and sales
men from out of town."
The high peak in Automobile
show week was the frolic Thursday
night at the Fontenclle when the
dealers and salesmen were entertain
ed by the automobile men of Omaha.
Soon after the doors closed at the
show exhibits were being removed
to dealers' show rooms.

General Rain Is
Big Aid to Crops
All Sections of Nehraska Re
port Moisture Wire Lines
Are Damaged.
A general rain, covering practically
the entire state of Nebraska, yester
day and last night, gave added
strength to favorable wheat pros
pects, according to reports received
here.
Drizzling rains were reported
early in almost all the territory south
of the Platte river. Later in the day
the fall increased so that more than
two inches of rain was reported io
the region about Beatrice.
Heavy rains were reported in the
region about Grand Island. Dis
patches from Humphrey, Norfolk
End Emerson also reported a general
rain.
In the western extremities of the
state and extending into Wyoming
the falling moisture took the form
of sleet and snow.
That the rain is of inestimable
value to the crops of the state and
is just the thing for spring plowing
and winter wheat is the impression
of farmers throughout the state, ac
cording to the bureau of crop esti
mates. The rain which reached a .50
precipitation in Omaha last night did
considerable damage to telegraph and
telephone wires south and west of
the city.

The jury pronounced O'Mallory's
