Latest developments have aroused

mpected from the anonymoui letter
" tetcived by Ditrict Attorney Week
were looked for today.
The prosecuting ottwi.il ia confi
dent the writer, who claimed to be a
soldier and to have known Ward,
will reveal hit knowledge at to what
caused the death of Peters.
"Not Crank."
'I do not believe a crank wrote
that letter," toil Mr. Week. -And
I have a clue at to how I can reach
hint. I would not be surprised if
he arrived in White Plains aonie
time today. What he says, I believe,
may be of great value.
The Tcters family in Haverhill,
Man., claims to have a postcard
from Young I'etera from South Car
olina dated early in May. ' l'eteri
was rejected by the marine corps
May II, according to government
reports. Allowing for the shortest
possible time, Tcters could not have
reached New York before May 13,
and he went on his death ride on
.the night of May 15. The black
mail plot had been going on for six
weeks, according to Ward's story.
Mysterious Situation.
Although the sheriff says he does
not hold the discharged shells from
the eight bullets said to have been
tired in the fight, he is sure they will
be produced wheu necessary. State
police found only one near the scene
of the gunfight, described by Ward.
The sheriff also displayed the gar
ments found on Feters, and showed
that a bullet had pierced the vest
and shirt in front, and passed
through the coat, vest and shirt in
back. This indicated, he said, that
Peters must have had his coat open
when the shot that killed him was
fired. ,
The entrance of investigators for
the Peters family has added to the
tension here and complicated a mys
terious situation.

Pictures Hard Timet.
Continuing, he drew a picture of
hard times facing Nebraska bankers
a year ago at the group niteting and
the good cheer and prosperity fac
ing them today as a result of the
War Finance corporation's work in
advancing money to Nebraska farm
ers and the jump in the price of
corn irom ib to SU cents a bushel.
Aldrich declared one reason for
failure of so many bankers in Ne
braska was the lax law which made
it possible for any Tom, Dick or
Harry to start a bank in a rural
community, leaving the road open
to incompetents and crooks. He
lauded the bill passed by the last
legislature giving the state banking
board power to use discretion in
granting bank charters and urged
that this law, referred to the voters
by the nonpartisan league, be the
subject of an energetic iight at the
November election on the cart of
bankers, the same as Governor Mc-
Kelvie urged republicans to stand be
hind the law at the republican rally
here three weeks ago.
Farmer Tells Heeds.
H. D. Lute, secretary of the Ne
braska Farm Bureau federation, told
of the troubles facing agriculture. He
urgea better credit iacilities for the
farmer, declaring that at present all
of the wheat produced annually in
America wouldn't pay the annual
interest of the American farmer. He
said 37 per cent of the income of
farmers went for taxes and 56 'A
per cent of the farmer's land was
mortgaged and 50 per cent of the
Nebraska farmers were tenants.
I want to see the time when
sweat on the brow of a farmer will
give him the same standing as the
sparkler on the hand of one of his
exploiters," Mr. Lute said.
The attorney general, the sirouD
president and the secretary of the
Farm Bureau federation agreed
that better credit facilities for the
farmer should be provided and that
before the temporary relief afforded
by the War Finance corporation bad
ceased a permanent relief for the
frozen agricultural credits of today
should be provided. v
Urges Good Roads.
William G. Edens of Chicaeo.
vice president of the Central Trust
company, asserted that bankers owed
it as a duty td their patrons to push
the building of good roads. He de
clared vehemently that the "so-called
sentiment, built by designing politi
cians against federal roads, should
be fought to the last ditch. ' '
"Wasteful extravagance and hap
hazard building of roads held up
and lagged the civilization of Ameri
cans for nearly 50 years," he said.
Because our lathers waded
through the mud is no -sign we
should."
Charles H. Randall, president of
the Nebraska Bankers association,
urged a restoration of reason and
economy following the wild orgies
of governmental expenditures during
the war. He advocated a study of
the municipal, county, school and
state tax bills and reviewed the work
of the association guided by him
during the troublous post bellum
days of the last two years.
. Tell Loan System.
John M. Flannigan, Omaha, sec
retary of the agricultural loan
agency of the War Finance corpora
tion, reviewed the history of the or
ganization formed by the last con
gress which saved thousands of
farmers and hundreds of bankers
from failure in the last year.
following a i banquet, Dan V.
Stephens of Fremont discussed pos
sible amendments to the state guar
anty law which, he believed, might
aid in prosecution of bankers, who it
has been declared, became heroes
after patrons received their money
from the guaranty fund and which
in his opinion would further check
banks and avoid closing them.
The bankers were welcomed to
Lincoln by Mayor Frank C. Zehrung.
His address was answered by Len J.
Davis, cashier of the Citizens State
bank of Geneva. One of the oldest
bankers at the meeting was Wallace
of Exeter, 72, who has been in the
banking business in Nebraska, since
1876, and owns 4,080 acres of Ne
braska land.
Omahans Return Home.
The special cars filled with Omaha
bankers left Lincoln for Omaha at
8 tonight The Omaha bankers have
attended group meetings throughout
the week.
"They have been a wonder in get
ting . an understanding between
bankers and farmers and merchants,"
W. B. Hughes, secretary of the Ne
braska Bankers association, said to
night Resolutions adopted lauded the fol
lowing activities:
Work of agricultural loan associ
ation: work of War Finance cor
Deration; work of state department
trade and commerce and its insistence
that borrowers should be given state
ment of bank resources; refusal of

to give weak bankers, who have failed
in other communities, charters; man

Young Cattle Make Profit
for Emerson (la.) Farmer
Emerson Ia. was represented on
the livestock market by W. R. How
land, who brought in a load of 22
head of young cattle that averaged
91 nonnds and sold for the top price
of $8.50 a hundred, after having been
fed the past four months on a ration
of corn and alfalfa with a feed of oats
once or twice a week.
Mr. Howland said from the good
gains and prices he received he was
satisfied there was good money in
the cattle raising game. He said the
pig crop in his section would be only
about half of the normal production
as sickness and wet weather had
thinned out the litters. According to
Mr. Howland, the corn crop is about
all planted and farmers have started
plowing for other crops.
Cattle Fed Six Months
- Make Farmer Good Profit
W. L. Ritzdorf brought in a load
of 970-pound cattle to the Omaha
market from Howells that were good
enough to bring $8.25 a hundred,
which was a good profit, as Mr.
Ritzdorf purchased the cattle here
six months ago when they averaged
414 pounds and cost him $5.40 a
hundred, making a profit of $2.85 a
hundred and more than doubling in
weight.
Mr. Ritzdorf said there were a good
many cattle in the-feed lots around
Howells in-' spite of the fact that
there has been considerable shipping
the past few weeks. He said that
although several farmers had . lost
quite a number of . their pigs he
thought the pig crop would ayerage
a little heavier than normal this year.

Rome, May 25 Improvised into
huge outdoor audience room of

the scene of solemn adoration by the
entire eucharistie congress to rope
1'ius. The vat square contained a
man oi pilgrims from every quarter
r the globe who had come to Rome
to pi.y homage to the pope and adore
the curharist.
The members of the sacred college
and ether high prelates ol the church
and the diplomatic corps to the Vati
can were promt, surrounding the
pontiff. The address, of homage was
delivered by Cardinal VannutMli.
The port responded, giving his
thanks.
Tope Tius arrived on the scene
from the papal apartments In the
papal carriag'. coming through the
court of St. Damaso. An immense
platform had been erected in the cen
ter of the wet side of the court of
Ilclvidrre where the cardinal, pre
lates and other members of the pon
tiff's court sat.
Cardinal Vamiutelli occupied a
chair apart from the others and im
mediately at the feet of the pope. In
his address he recounted the elforts
of the pontiff for peace and expressed
the confidence and Uith of the church
in the pope.
When Tope Fi' rose to respond
he was prevented from doing so for
several moments, owing to the dem
onstration by the pilgrims.
Tope Pius dealing with peace in
his address said:
"The kindness and compassion
from the eucharistic heart of Jesus
alone will bring pacification which
is the first condition indispensable
in every social reconstruction. This
pacification must commence with the
return in society, of Jesus Christ who
is the only real essence in recon
struction and rehabilitation. It is
the pride and haughtiness of human
ity that has banished, relegated and
exiled Jesus from society. Thus it
is that Christ is deserted; thus that
peace deserts humanity. The sacra
ment of the eticharists, the most
divine of divine things, is the
remedy."

Cloture Proposed
as Means to Speed
Up Tariff Measure
Democrat! Warn Republican
Leader They Will Fight
F.ffort to Put Over 'Gag'
Rule in Senate.
Washington, May 25 -Cloture as
a means of cutting down debate on
the tariff bill was proposed today at
a ronferriice fi republican senators
and dicurd later in the senate. Op
position to the suggestion developed
on both sides, democrats giving for
mal warning that any eliort by the
majority to put over a "gag" rule
would be resisted to the utmost.
As drafted, the cloture rule would
apply not alone to the pending tar
iff bill, but to all revenue and ap
propriation mrasiires. It would nt
applv to any other legislation and
would leave members free to discuss
the soldier bonus, ship subsidy and
any other subject of speeial or gen
eral legislation, including treaties.
A majority vote of the senate only
would be neee!ary for adoption of
the rule.
Would Limit Debate.
Under the rule, after a revenue
appropriation bill lias been before
the senate five days, lo senators
could present a motion for cloture
and if sustained by' a majority vote
the lime of each senator desiring
to speak would be limited to one
hour on the bill and 10 minutes on
any amendment, with requirement
that the debate be confined to the
subject in the senate.
Senator Underwood, the democrat
ic leader, and others on the minority
side served notice during nearly two
hours of debate on the subject, that
any effort by the republicans to force
a cloture rule through in connection
with the tariff bill would be resisted
vigorously. Plain intimation was
given that if such a rule were pro
posed, discussion of it would con
sume many weeks. Chairman Mc
Cumber of the finance committee in
charge of the tariff measure, said
that if senators would remain in the
senate and confine their discussion to
the bill, there would be no need for
cloture.
The subject of night sessions was
discussed briefly in the conference,
but no action was taken. It was in
dicated, however, that those in charge
of the bill were determined to con
tinue indefinitely sessions of 11 hours
a day.
Senate discussion of the cloture
brought varying estimates as to the
lime that it would take to pass the
bill. Senator Kellogg on the major
ity side, estimated that at the pres
ent rate of progress it would be
from one to two vears. Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, the demo
cratic leader in the tariff fight, ex
pressed the opinion that the bill
would be. passed around the middle
of July.
Filibuster Charged.
The cloture debate again brought
charges from republicans of a dem
ocratic filibuster and vigorous de
nials from the democrat side. -
Use senate got around to
iff bin itself, discussion of
ckerjb and china item was
ith Senator Jones, demo
Mexico, making a vigor-
ainst the committee rates
r Frelinehuysen, repub-
ew Jersey, supporting them
as necessary for the industry.
Senator Frelinghuysen said actual
invoices for foreign products showed
that there was menacing Competi
tion' from abroad. He denied that
the American industry was making
enormous profits. . European coun
tries for centuries have made it a
part of their national policy to en
courage the industry, he continued,
charging that the demand for a re
duction in the duties proposed by
the committee came largely from
importers and department stores.

A for Russia, it wa hopeless for
her, whatever her government, said
the premirr, to expect to extricate
liersrlf from the pit of squalid
misery without a-itance. There
wrre thrre alternatives in dealing
with the Russian situation, Mr. Lloyd
George pointed out. The first was
force, which had failed. No one had
suggested that at Genoa. The second
was to leave Russian to her fate.
"But how," he asked "could we in
sure Europe against the risks this
policy would involve. The Russo
German agreement shows the sort of
peril I mean."
Technical Skill
Germany, continued the premier,
could not re-equip Russia econom
ically, not having the capital,.-, but
that was not the case with arma
ments, as there was every natural
resource in one country and com
plete technical skill in the other.
"The British delegation,'.', he said,
"realized that it was necessary for
the peace of the world, whatever
was thought of the soviet govern
ment, that ' some arrangement with
Russia be made."
