Considered Prosperity Indication.
. This is taken by the election man
ager not only as an indication of the
prosperity of Omaha and the sur
rounding territory, but also as ' a
tribute to the contestants, and. the
agencies which aided" them. ' It 'was
considered lt theGrt remarlcaWe
in that The. Bee used Jess than half
the space iu advertising the contest
than did the other papers' w hich won
far less results.' i-
By virtue of her splendid showing
Miss Donn probably has . won the
honor of being named the official
head of the national delegation which
will sail for France July 22. - It was
the unselfish efforts of , contest
leaders which aided other candi
dates to win trips. Until the con
test terminated yesterday afternoon
the-. race between- Miss Donn and
Miss O'Brien was sufficiently close
to- keen rival sr.nporters' in doubt.
. Candidates, w ith . their campaign
managers and supporters, began
gathering at the bank before 2 oclock,
mid formed excited, animated little
proups until they all had finally made
l!icir Vim! deposits. There was a gay
interchange of conversation between
candidates, and signs of good feeling
o;i all sides. v ' - .. ' ,..'
Example of Good WilL
A feature of the campaign was the
v.oi-1; of Miss Rice of Alliance, her
s. If a candidate, for Miss O'Brien of
fie Burlington route, Like Miss
O'Brien Miss Rice is V Burlington
employe, and in a spirit of self-sacri-v
fee and loyalty she devoted her ef
forts to ."Miss O'Brien's candidacy.
The great number of votes cast en
abled her also to win a trip, unless
mailed votes displace her.'

Harding Finds
Tariff Law Will
Give Prosperity
President' Predicts Shortage
of Common Labor in 90
Days and Return to
, "Normalcy." ;
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Washington Corrcsnoadtitt Omaha Met.
Washington, May 19. (Special
Telegram.) President Harding, ac
cording to statements . made at the
White House today, seei a return ot
DrosDeritv and' believes that, within
VU day? there will- be a snortage or
common labor" in the United States.
This is the first time the president
has so definitely tommitted himself
toc-the jdea-of life turning of the tide
in industrial affairs. ,V " -,. - -
The president finds all reports fav
oring the idea that prosperity is just
around the corner and thinks it can
be frightened away only by a lood
of imports. The inference is clear, he
helieves 'the tariff law should be re
lied upon to prevent this. -. ,
The reports which the president
has shown as a return to "normalcy"
jn the farming industry, ' with ; the
exception of the livestock branch,
which is still suffering depression.
The grain industry, off the contrary,
is regarded as having turned the cor
ner. .. ' ' .
The depression in the livestock in
dustry is regarded as. due in part to
excessive freight charges, and the
president is seeking to remedy this
situation by the conference which he
will, hold Saturday .night, with rail
way. - executives. - The president is
committed ' to. the idea of . lower
freight rales and is determined they
shall be brought about if possible.
-' The president' believes differences
between capital and labor,, as well as
misdirected corporation opposition
to necessary changes, can be brought
about by conference. . It is with this
object- in view that he consulted the
steel men last night with the view
of having the 12-hour day eliminated
and will consult the railroad execu
tives Saturday night with the view of
lowermg freight rates.

May Gear Other Thefts
By lb Asaswlate hre.s.
New Vork, May 19. A gigantic
postoffice holdup, surpassing iu spec
ularity and daring any of the recent
registered mail theft of the million
dollar and up class, would have been
perpetrated at the City Hall postof
fice tomorrow but for the keen work
of a postoffice inspector who grew
a bad man's beard, consorted with
the plotters and uncovered their
scheme.
This was the statement of I'ostof-
I ficc Inspector Doran in making pub
ft
lic tne uctaus 01 tne arrest ot seven
men ix of them present or- past
postoffice employes.
lie asserted that their capture
would clraf up the registered mail
theft of July 18, when $1,477,000 in
Liberty bonds bound for Washington
were stolen trom the mails, would
aid in solving a heretofore undis
closed theft of $40,000 in securities
addressed to Watertown, N. Y., and
might go far toward clearing up the
$2,000,000 mail truck holdup in low
er Broadway last October.
Planned Daylight Holdup.
Plans had been laid arid were to
have been carried out In broad day
light for the holdup and robbing of
the entire registered mail section of
the City Hall station, through which
millions in securities flow daily from
the Wall street financial zone, In
spector Doran said. Orders had been
issued to shoot any. employe who re
sisted.
The plotters had . visited the City
Hall station several times and made
a careful survey of the "layout," and
planned their raid in great detail. In
deed, Inspector Doran said, they had
gone to the station several weeks,
ago, ready to "pull" the holdup, but
had been deterred by the accidental
presence' of several inspectors, which
had led them to fear their plot had
been discovered.
It was the imminence of the new
date set for the holdup that sent po
lice and postoffice inspectors on a
roundup campaign last night. .
Gained Men's Confidence.
One of 16. inspectors, it was said,
had been workin ' his ' 'way for
weeks into the' confidence of the ac
cused men. posing as a boastful fel
low mail bandit. --? . -. :
The - bearded man. it " was said.
succeeded in getting himself "count
ed in" on the brooosed Citv Hall !
station holdup, and talked it' over
in detail with the others in his sup
posed "den." which he had wired I
with telephone devices.
1 he seven captives taken last night
were confronted with transcripts of j
the telephonic record early today in !
the presence of the bearded inspec
tor and some are alleged to have j
confessed. , :
Much data of their earlier opera-j
tions already had been gathered!
and recorded by the telephonic de-1
vices at' boasting fests set in mo
tion by the thrilling stories of mail
banditry told bv the "bearrfpit 0iit '
as his robber friends called him.

Jury 11 to 1 for Conviction
of Boy Who Stole $772,0001
Chicago, May 19.-The jury in the'l
secona trial ot Willie Dalton, boy
bank clerk who stole $772,000 worth
of Liberty bonds, was discharged to
day after it had failed to affrp Thr
was announced.
-" Dalton's case attracted nation-wide
attention, not only because of his
youth 17 and the amount taken, but
because of a similar case a short time
previous when former Judge K. M.
Landis, then on the bench, said that
bank officials were partly to blame
for robberies by bank clerks because
they surrounded them with millions
of dollars and paid them small sal
aries." Dalton was erroneously quoted
as saying Judge Landis' statements
! had influenced him. Dalton repeat
! cdly said that he had never heard of
j Judge Landis' remarks.

Jefferis Here to
Open Campaign
for U. S. Senate
Nebraska Congressman Says
Government Economy and
Juet Tax Distribution
Paramount Issues. ,
Congressman A. W. Jefferis, home
from Washington to campaign the
state for the republican nomination
for United States senator, comment
ed yesterday on a rumor that he
might withdraw. He said:
"It is evident that this rumor
emanated from those who would like
to see me withdraw. It u as ab
Uurd as it is untrue. I almost would
say that it is dirty, politics. I have
absolutely no thought of withdraw
ing. I am in the race to win and
will campaign the state until the
orimaries on July 18."
The congressman said he realized
that reasonable economy in govern
ment, national and local, is the para-
mout issue now. A just distribution
of taxation also is an issue, he stat
ed. He favori efforts of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau federation in en
deavorina to obtain adoption by con
gress of a resolution which would al
low state legislatures to modify the
national constitution so that securi
ties now tax-free will be subject to
taxes.
Hopei for Early Deciiion.
"I am interested in urging the In
terstate Commerce commission to ar
rive at an early decision on railroad
rate hearings started last December,"
he said. The understanding m
Washington is that President Hard
ing will use his influence on Satur
day, when he conters witn leading
railroad men of the country on rates.
The purpose of this conference is
to obtain from railroad executives
an expression of willingness to lower
rates, . so that the Interstate Com
merce commission will be prompted
to enter, their order without further
delay." .
' The' St. Lawrence waterway
araiect is near to the heart of Con
gressman Jefferis. He asserted that
he is deeply interested in cneaper
transportation for the central west.
" ,Too Much Crime. ;
"We are so far removed from the
seaboard that the cost of getting our
product! to the seaboard is too high
when we enter the marketi of the
world," he explained.
On another line ot tnougnt ne
said: "There are too much crime
and too many criminals in this
country. Respect for law enforce
ment and obedience to law are tne
duties of every citizen. The consti-
. L ... J ' MAM
luiion is as uiiiumik uyvii miu-wuiM-
holders as upon officeholders.- - ,
"Durimr the war nearly every ac
tivity was centralized in the national
Kovernment and the public,' mind
continues to be impregnated more or
less with the idea that the national
government should continue to ob
serve that policy in" time of peace.
This tendency to impose upon the
national government responsibilities
which belong to the states and local
divisions, in my opinion, should
cease. The further creation of cen
tralized bureaucracies at Washing
ton is destructive of local self gov
ernment in the states.,
Proud of Success.
"Government of the people, r by
the people and for the people can
best succeed when each individual
does his full part toward enacting
proper laws and then obeying such
laws."
The congressman asserted that
every republican should be proud of
the sucpess achieved in national af
fairs by the present administration.
He stated that a substantial, reduc
tion of expenses of the national gov
ernment has been accomplished.
During hi talks through Ne
braska, Mr. Jefferis will explain how
and why the -national budget has
been reduced from $19,000,000,000
for for the fiscal year ended June
30.-1919, to $4,500,000,000 for. the year
ended June 30 of this" year. ,

Friends Caus Big Sixth Rep
resentative to Withdraw
Announcement That He '
; Will Retire.
By GEORGE P. AUTHIER.
(Washlnctoti Caorcpsondeat, Omaha, Be.)
Washington, May 19. (Special
Telegram.) . Representative Moses
P. Kinkaid of the sixth Nebraska
district, today reconsidered the de
cision, announced by him yesterday,
to retire . from congressional serv
ice at the close of his present term.
Announcement of Representative
Kinkaid s decision was contained in
the following brief statement:
On the advices of friends, -from
our aixtn aisinci ana in ine siaic
and physicians here, I have recon
sidcred my decision reached and an
nounced in the newspapers to with
draw and shall continue as a can
didate in -the primary elections."
The announcement of Representa
tive Kinkaid a decision to retire
brought a flood of telegrams from
his old friends in the district and
throughout Nebraska. . These friends
informed Representative Kinkaid
they would undertake to bear the
burden of his primary and election
campaign and urged him to continue
in the service of the district.
Manl' of his friends in the house
joined in urging him to reconsider
the decision made . yesterday.
Under the circumstances,.. .Repre
sentative Kinkaid reached ' the con
clusion that he might take things
more easily in the future and his
physicians admitted that a moderate
continuation of his activities might
prove less dangerous than a sudden
iteration in nis manner oi living.

Keokuk, la.. May 19. The Nauvoo
Canning company factory at Nau

Always in the manufacture of1 these
rings, of which he also is the inven
tor, there was an error which could
not be eradicated. '.The solution is
to take two of the prisntatic rings,
one with a plus error and the other
with an equal minus error, to give
the zero of perfection necessary to
accomplish the results which he an
nounced today. i
Besides the prismatic rings, which
furnish the real secret of the 'new
method of broadcasting ' pictures,
there is a light detecting box which
takes the picture through a lens
in front of the prismatic rings and
as the light rays pass through, it
sends them out through the air just
as the voice is sent out by the car
bon transmitter. On the receiving
end -there is an ordinary telegraph
instrument with a mirror affixed
to it. ' The light wave causes this
instrument to vibrate and the mir
ro sends the light on through a

Bank Robbers
Hiding in Haunts
of Jesse James
Men Who Took $2500 From
Messenger at Springfield
Monday Cornered in
. . Hills of Miller County.
By The Associated Press.
' Springfield, Mo., May 19.
Hiding by day and traveling by
night, pursued by Ozark woodsmen,
militiamen and peace officers, three
of the five bandits who Monday
took $20,500 from a bank messenger
her, have been making r their way
north all week, a ' posse on their
heels. Today Sheriff J. Harris of
Cireene county reported that - the
three" men are believed to be near
Bagnell in Miller county, 75 miles
northeast of here. They were seen
at dawn, the sheriff said.
But the bandits saw their pursuers
almost as quickly as they were seen
and were back among the hills along,
the Osage river jvhere Jesse James
and his companions were wont to
take refuge when pursuit, grew too
hot . High hills, thick woods and
brush shut off pursuit and furnish
cover." Tonight the sheriff believes
the three men will again make an ef
fort to reach the railroad.:
They. did that last night but
the possemen were there ahead of
them and the bandits turned back,
waiting another ' chance to slip
through the lines.'. .
Time and again the bandit? have
been reported surrounded and have
slipped away. More than once they
have been reported clear of pursuit.
but the untiring posse has picked up
the trail again.
Two bandits, believed to have gone
west from here, are admitted to have
escaped. ' ' ' .
