"Some people say that ! am not
puthing nty senatorial campaign a
much as ( should," continued Mr.
leflrri. In explanation I would y
that there were so many matters
pending in Washington affecting; the
welfare of the Second congressional
rii.irict that f did not wish to leave
Wathington. I did not care to neglect
the job which the people entrusted to
me while going alter another job.
Legislation Retarded Departure.
Among the important issues which
made his departure from Washington
unfrasable until now Mr. Jefferis
names the following:
An appropriation of $500,000 for
the attorney general to organize a
special force of men to prosecute
fraud in connection with war con
tract,, there being some 270 such
cases.
The passage of a bill authorizing
a new grand jury to be called by the
attorney general. Iinth the appropri
ation and the grand jury bill were
pad by the house last Monday.
"It was particularly necessary for
me to remain in Washington, because
I had spent many months investigat
ing war contracts." explained Mr.
Jefferis. "I also remained in Wash-

the continuation of the air mail
service.
"Such a small amount is expended
in this service a compared to ex
penditures for air service for the
army and navy, and the air mail ser
vice does so much to ascertain the
benefits of flying that I cant con
ceive of anyone favoring its discon
tmuance.
Anxious Over Mileage BilL
I also waa anxious that the inter
state commerce committee of the
house should report a bill autrorizing
and directing the Interstate Com
merce commission to direct the rail
roads to issue interchangeable mile
age at a rate per mile less than the
prevailing passenger fare.
Mr. Jefferis plans to visit every
county in Nebraska and as many
towns in eacn county as possmie in
his campaign tour. He will remain
in Nebraska until July 28, unless he
receives word that his presence is
needed in Washington to aid in car
rying through constructive legisla
tion, he says.

Takes Third Place.
Miss Elizabeth Kaufmann. who re
sides with her mother at 822 South
Thirty-eighth avenue, took third
place in the election as candidate of
the livestock interests of Omaha,
She attributes her success to the
"men in the livestock industry who
don't know the meaning of the word
aeteat.
'i had a wide acauaintance be
cause ot my position in the Stock
yards rational bank, explained
Aliss Kautmann. 'But of course it
was the backing of the wonderful
people in the livestock industry that
put me over."
There were all sorts of festivities
at the South Omaha exchange in be
half of Miss Kaufmann's candidacy.
Buckingham was her campaign
manager and W. B. Tagg, treasurer.
Miss Kaufmann, who is secretary
to t. t. Uovey, president of the
Stockyards National, was chosen be
cause of her wide acquaintance, her
supporters explained. -.
Real ThrilL J,
Miss Ella Fenny the "Advo girl,"
candidate for McCord-Brady com
pany, who won fourth, place, got a
real thrill from ttie campaign.
I didn t know until the last min
ute whether or not I was going to
win, said Miss tenn, ;,Uur organ
ization was smaller than most of the
others, but the spirit was therein
large quantities, apKip me every
minute. ' One doesn't realize how
wonderful one's friends and one's br
ganization are .until such a test as
this." '
Miss Fenn. who resides at 1917
Fifth avenue, Council Bluffs, is pri
vate secretary to A. B. Warren, vice
president of the McCord-Brady com
pany. She is included in the list
of Omaha girls because she was back
ed by the Omaha firm.
Loses 10 Pouns., . v
"I lost 10 sounds, actually, during
the campaign," exclaimed Roy Felt-
man, Miss Fenn's campaign manager.
"Miss Fenn and 1, and three other
girls devoted 18 hours a .day, seven
davs a week, to the campaign. One
of the features of it was the street
carnival and the show which we gave
at Fremont Our goat was "50,000
votes. We reached it, raising' enough
to send our, Advo girl independently
of votes obtained by other organiza
tions.
Miss Anna McNamara, 2420 North
Forty-fifth street, , cashief at the
"Home of Mina Taylor,' M. E.
Smith & Co.: who took' fifth trtace,
also received the thrill-of a lifetime
when she learned she had gone over
the. top." ' "--
"Owes All to Friends." ; .
"I owe everything to my organiza
tion and friends," she exclaimed, her
eyes bright with emotion. 4 "And to
the unselfish ones who kept on work
in? even after thev had enough votes
to go themselves. It was wonderfull"
J. W. Welch and M. u f teiter. oi
the M., E. Smith & Co., were Miss
McNamara s campaign managers.
That they waged a whirlwind cam
paign is shown by the 28,868 -votes
garnered. "
Perhaps the greatest thrill received
by any Omaha candidate was experi
enced by Miss Kathleen Kossuer,
Orchard & Wilhelm candidate, who
held sixth place and won a trip al
though for a time it appeared she had
lost, 1
Trip Means a Juot, -It
rrteans a lot to Miss Rossiter
eoinor to France.' ' She wanted to go
during the war, like most other girlsJJ
But her knowledge ot the city ana
her wide acquaintance here made her
invaluable to the Home bervice ot
the Red Cross. She served here with
this organization three years, sacri
ficing her desire to go to France be
cause she believed she .would "bt of
more. service in Omaha. . "
There was the faintest hint of
tears in Miss Rossiter's eyes when
she learned of her success.
"First of all I must thank the Or
chard & Wilhelm company and
everyone connected, with " it," she
said. "They did everything possible
for me. and I hope my winning the
trip will make them happy; for after
all it was an. unselfish campaign. And
even if I hadn't won the,- trip I
wouldn't have been sorry for my
part in the campaign." ..
Mother "Put It Over."
Miss Elizabeth Pace, who placed
seventh in the election, attributes
her success to her 'mother, Mrs. Car
rie Pace, 738 Mynster avenue, Coun
cil Bluffs. The mother acted as the
daughter's campaign manager and
chief worker, and although it seemed
she could not possibly win the much
desired trip to Fuuccr-:M-is ..Pace
held seventh place "to the end.
Miss Pace is a senior at Grinnell
college, Grinnell, la. She was noti

fiem government aid, and truly feeU
that h will share directly or Indi
rectly in the prosperity that is to
follow the upbuilding of our export
and import trade, all efforts ta put
our idle fleet In operation will be
futile. This is a matter for the en
tire nation to support, not only from
a spirit of patriotism and of pride,
but for the even greater purpose of
economic and national preservation.
"America must build up Its export
trade; it mutt .find markets for its
surplus productions. No nation has
been successful in carrying out
thrsc policies unless it has had a
strong merchant marine capable of
transporting in own commodities to
all ports of the world, in its own
bottoms, as well as maintaining ef
ficient connections on these ports, in
order to obtain return cargoes. For
us the only solution lies in federal
assistance.
Were of Many Kinds.
The vessels built during and after
the war consisted pi requisitioned
and contract steel cargo carrier,
tankers, refrigerators, transport, col
lier and combined passenger and
cargo carriers; contract wood cargo
carriers, barges, tankers, finished
hulls and sailing vessels, contract
composite cargo carriers, contract
concrete cargo carriers and tankers,
steel and wood ocean tugs and steel
and wood harbor tugs.
The building of this gigantic fleet
was not confined entirely to the
United States, Japan. constructing 30
steel cargo carriers of 24J.JVU dead
wemht tonnage and China four steel
cargo carriers of 40,000 dead weight
tonnage.
Prior to the entrance of the United
States into the war the maximum
output of ships in this country was
in the year 191)8, when 1.457 ves
rels of 921.324 dead weicht. iuclud
ing all vessels of five net tons and
over were built; of steamships alone
the total was 722.4.16 dead weight.
The origiual program called for
3,270 ihips of 18,407,276 dead weight.
After the armistice all construction
was canceled, thus reducing the pro
gram by 958 ships of 4,770,565 dead
weight, which represented approxi
mately SO per cent of all vessels that
had not reached a degree of com
pletion of 85 or 90 per cent, and-more
than one-half of the vessels yet to be
launched.
218 Yards Operated.
At the height of the shipbuilding
program 218 yards were construct
ing ships of which 80 were building
steel vessels; 131 had wood and com
posite ships contracts; seven were
working on concrete steamers.
The effect of the shipbuilding pro
gram upon our shipping is' clearly
shown in our increased share of car
rying trade of the world. In 1914,
commodities to the value of $368.-
359,756 were carried in our 'ships,
representing 9.7 per cent of our water-borne
foreign trade. In the fiscal
year .beginning June 30, 1920.. this
percentage was increased to 44.8 per
cent and the vatue of the imports and
exports carried in American bottoms
amounted to $5,071,905,981. This ex
ceeds by far the total value of our
water-borne foreign trade in 1914
which was $3,785,468,512. ., ""V

Prison for Year
for Mail Fraud
Rachel Strickland Ordered to
Pay Fine of $1,000 for
Selling Montana Oil
Lands.
Sam B. Muer was sentenced, to a
year and a (lay in the federal peni
tentiary at Leavenworth, Kan, by
Federal Judge Woodrough yesterday
morning.
Karhrl C Strickland, the beautiful
co-defendant, was fined f 1.000.
The two were found guilty April 5
after a long trial on charges of using
the mails to defraud in the sale of
Montana oil lands.
In Court Early.
Miss Strickland was in court early
yesterday with her mother. They
waited two hours while other court
work was disposed of. Then James
Walker, one of their attorneys, pre
sented the argument for a new trial
United States Attorney Kinsler
answered.
"I believe these . two defendants
knew they were misrepresenting
when they were sending out letters
in promoting these oil lands," said
Judge Woodrough. "Where is the
defendant, Muscr? Why isn't he
here?"
Miss Strickland said Musscr had
some business to attend to.
Musser Not Present
"Well, he'd better hurry into this
court at once. I am ready to sen
tence him," said the court. "Get him
here." . -
Miss Strickland hurried out and
telephoned. Within 15 minutes Mus
scr anncared.
Neither Musser nor the girl made
any response when the judge asked
whether they had anything to say
before sentence was oassed.
They showed no emotion when the
sentences had been pronounced.
"I will allow you each 10 days be
fore the sentence and fine are put
into effect," said the court.
Asked whether they would appeal
the case, they said they didn t know.
"I'm so sorry for you," the girl
whispered to Musser.
Her mother said Miss Strickland
will "fight it to the limit."
A lack of' money has, so far,
characterized the case for the de
fendants. Miss Strickland's mother
put up the $5 filing fee for the mo
tion for a new trial. John Baldwin,
their attorney in the trial, did not ap
pear yesterday because he had not
been paid. "
