"Doctor" the president turned
to Dean West and President Hib
ben of Princeton "I thank yon for
your earnest wishes. I care not who
one Is, if he can only expend his
power in righteousness, he shall not
have lived in vain. We can only ask
God to let us make our way in
righteousness and if, in that making,
we can made our way religious,
we'll be a little bit better for that."
"Fulfill American Destiny."
' The earlier interruption to set
speeches occurred at the monument
dedication. In his interpolation the
president urged his a audience to
cherish national 'traditions by such
erections, that they might be helped
to "fulfill the great American des
tiny." President Hibben told the audience
at Nassau hall, where the degree
was granted, that the building itself
was the barracks from which Wash
ington's continentals drove British
regiments in the Princeton battle.
The president dined with Dr. Hib
ben, after a reception tendered stu
dents and visitors. He left for
Washington shortly after. Speaker
Gillett of the house, and Senators
Edge and Frelinghuysen, besides
Mrs. Harding, accompanied him all
through the trip.

senate debate which is considered
likely to become extremely engross

the government wants to do so. The
government took over the railroads
in the war ana tne tost oi operation
increased, but it took them over
when private operation absolutely
failed and laid down and said 'We

Roads were Helpless.

Urged in Reports
Acceptance of Ford Offer Rec
ommended in Document
Presented by Acting
Chairman McKenzie.
Washineton. June 9. Enactment
of legislation designed to bring
about development of the govern
ments power and nitrate projects at
Muscle Shoals, Ala., by private
enterprise was recommended today
to the house in three reports filed by
members of the military committee.
Each of the reports admitted that
the committee had been unable to
agree upon details for the proposed
development and expressed belief
that the task should be pertormea
by the public itself.
The ' report presented by Acting
Chairman . McKenzie of Illinois,
called for the acceptance of Henry
Ford's proposal as amended by the
committee to eliminate the Gorgas
steam power plant from the proper
tes to be disposed of at Muscle
Shoals.
i Would Change Terms.
Representative Parker, republican
New Jersey,' believed the Ford
tender should be materially altered
if accented in anv form, or the
shoals properties should be returned
to the jurisdiction of the War de
partment and Secretary
authorized to dispose of them under
terms approved by congrets.
Inquiry as to when action would
be taken on the bills' directing ac
ceptance of the Ford offer, which
also were t removed from the com
mittee by' Acting Chairman Mc
Kenzie, was made by Representative
Garrett of Tennessee, the minority
leader, as soon as the reports were
announced in the house.
Majority Leader Mondell replied
that while he was anxious for early
consideration of the measures it was
impossible at the present time to say
how soon action could be expected.
He pointed out that it was necessary

The church tinder which the stolen

Members of the Lincoln Automo

many other volunteers were scattered
over the city tonight, some in autos,

State Sheriff Hyers announced he
would pay a reward to anyone turn
ing in a clue which resulted in the
capture of Brown.
Search Lone Tunnel
As the night progressed, hundreds
joined the posse. Officers headed by
Warden W. T. Fenton walked a dis
tance of two miles through a tunnel
which runs through the heart of .the
city and covers an old creek. Foot
prints seen at the mouth of the tun
net caused the officers to make their
stooping, uncertain way through this

At 7 tonight residents living near
the Rock Island tracks and in the
vicinity of a majority of Brown's op

heard. Members of the oosse, how
ever, failed to locate the source of
the reported shots.

warned to explore alleys and cellars

Fired at by Fireman.
City Fireman Joe Reisch, 1733 P
street, last night about 10:45 saw a
man walk through .his yard. The
man resembled Brown.
Reisch was In bed, but leaped to
his feet arid got his revolver. The
man was standing between two win
dows of the house next door. Reisch
went to the window.
"Stick 'em up I" he called to the
man, who turned and ran out P
street.
Reisch said he was not over 12
feet from him when he shot twice
and the fugitive fell to his knees,
staggered to his feet again and 're
sumed His flight.
Reisch ran to the street in his
night clothes and saw the fugitive
get into a Ford coupe parked at
Eighteenth and P streets.
The coupe then raced east on P
street; he said.
Police were called and half an hour
later found a Ford coupe on Twenty-third
street, between O and P
streets.
Stolen Omaha Car.
The coupe bore state license No.
1-6074. The engine number, which
had not been tampered with, was
5332145. This enabled officera to
identify positively the machine as
that stolen from in front of the home
of Dr. B. W. Hall, 2728 North Six
tieth avenue, in Omaha, Wednesday
night. .
Omaha police at that time declared
the theft was the work of Brown.
who had been in hiding in Benson
for a week.
The state license number of Dr.
Hall's car when it was stolen was
1-14388. This had been changed, and
Mate sheritt Ous Hyers is now en
deavoring to learn whose license
the 1-6074 is.
i ne engine number on the car,
however, identified the car as Dr,
Hall's.
Near Scene of Shooting.
This car, the night it was stolen,
was standing just two blocks from
the spot where Omaha police allege
Brown shot Officer Charles Geisel
man Tuesday nieht.
In the rear of the coupe, when it
was found, was a gunny sack filled
with sardines, preserves, "all-day
suckers," and in the front of the ma
chine was an extra fivegallon can of
gasoline, a red sweater, an old coat
and cap.
Mrs. Viola Dingman, plucky little
divorcee who grappled with Brown
on the street here last Sunday, lives
at 1033 P street, just one block from
the home of Fireman Reisch, where
the shooting occurred last night.
Sheriff Hyers is working on the
supposition Brown was in the neigh
borhood seeking to even up the score
with her.
Fillmore License.
In the Ford coupe also were front
and rear license plates numbereed

here and told the officers he had
parked his Dodge automobile behind

few doors from Fireman Rcisch's
home.
Investigations showed the license
plates were gone.
Officers are confident the man
Reisch shot at was passing through
his yard with these plates on his
way to the coupe when challenged.
Roads Under Guard.
All roads out of Lincoln are un
der heavy guard again, as well as
the bridge at Ashland. A cordon oi
officers has again been thrown
about the neighborhood where the
shooting list night occurred.
While Motorcycle Olliccr Joe
Reimer was exploring last night as a
member of the posse, he saw a short
man, resembling in build the manacle
man of Benson, running at Twenty
second and V streets.
Reimer gave chase on his motor
cycle and called to the man to halt.
When the man failed to comply,
Reimer snapped the trigger of his
revolver twice, he said, but it missed
fire both times and he continued the
chase.
The man carrid a sack slung over
his shoulder, he said, but as ne ran
he tossed it aside.
Reimer continued to chase the
man until he saw him run down into
a cellar. Reimer followed and
searched the cellar, he said, but
found no one.
So he returned to the spot where
he had seen the fugitive's flung sack
fall but it was gone.

Direct Primary
League Would
Abolish Circle
Initiative Petition to Bring
About Vote on Nonparty
Ballot Is Advocated by
C. A. Sorensen.
Lincol'i, June 9. C. A. Sorensen,
temporary chairman of the new Ne
braska Nonparty Ballot and Direct
I'rimary league, issued a. statement
declaring that initiative petitions will
be circulated by the league st once
for submitting to the voters for ap
proval or rejection, at the next gen
eral election, a constitutional amend
ment perpetuating the direct primary
and providing for the nonpartisan
election of city, county and state offi
cers.
The movement aims to abolish the
arly circle and protect the direct
primary, according to its advocates.
The proposed amendment reads as
follows:
"The nomination of candidates for
the office of United States senator,
member of congress, member of the
state legislature, and for state and
county elective public office shall be
by direct primary. Ballots used in
the nomination of candidates for elec
tive public office created by the con
stitution or the laws of this state
shall have thereon no party name or
circle, or a.ny other designation re
lating to candidates."
Backers of the proposed amend
ment claim for it the sucr.sful en
actment of the amendment will stop
biennial attack on the direct primary,
that it will take from the political
parties their present monopoly of
making nominations; that it will kill
party machine politics; that it wilj
tear dow,n the .artificial barriers
which now separate the progressives
and separate state and national politics.
