it would add very materially to the dairy

Seventy five per cent of the butter of
this territory is shipped each to Chicago

be sold from Omaha. Big buyers would
flock here in numbers and would establish
offices here and start accounts in Omaha
banks. There is no less than 90 600 600
pounds of butter produced annually in this

Senator Brown
Throws Scare
Into Leaders
Nebraskan Will 0ffef Amendment to
Put Wood Pulp and Paper
on Free List.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON June S.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Senator Norris Brown, who has
been making a very exhaustive study of
wood pulp and print paper gave notice to
the senate today that he would move an
amendment to schedule NJ putting wood
pulp and print paper on the free list. Sena-
tor Brown, who has been heard but very
seldom in debate on the tariff, believes
that there is ground for reduction which
should be made under the bill now being
considered. He has studied not only the
technical questions involved, but has made
an analysis of the Mann commission re-
port, which he beIieTes is far-reaching In
fits conclusions. Today in conservation with
Senator Aidrich, Senator Brown learned
that the finance committee would probably
advance rates on wood pulp and print paper
over the house bill. The Junior senator then
quietly stated to Senator Aldrich that he
would offer amendment as outlined
! above.
| Senator Frye, who was sitting near and
| overheard the conversation between Sena-
tors Brown and Aldrich, exclaimed, Good
God, that will ruin us" when he heard
Brown serving motive on the chairman OF
the finance committee that he would in
sist on wood pulp and print paper going
on the free list.
