A miniature machine showing the work
OF an Austin Drainage excavator is a part
OF the Land Show displays of interest to
farmers on irrigated lands. The tiny
machine. an exact duplicate in every detail
of the big ones used in field work, is to
be seen In operation at the Land Show.
Tiny shovels throw up little heaps Of sand
on each side OF the make-believe ditch.
The machine travels along the work
by its own power When equipped with
rolling platform traction II runs directly on
the surface; when mounted on wheels the
wheels travel on a special track which
is picked up from behind the machine and
laid down ahead as wanted. The machine
will also travel across country from ditch
to ditch by It's own power at the rate Of
q mile day. AS It travels either backward
or forward the excavator can be oper-
ated to make successive cuts the full depth
OF the ditch or to travel back and forth
along a stretch of say, 100 feet, making
a series OF continuous shallow cuts until
grade is reached.

Bryan Says Too Hasty
Compromise is Unwise
Insists that Only Majority of Those
Voting Under Oregon Plan Shall
Be Required,

LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 21.-(Special)-
William Jennings Bryan in the next issue
Of The Commoner will say:
Don't compromise in advance. Don't try
to please opponents of reform Draw the
bills as the reformers want them; II rs
time enough to compromise when you find
you have to. II you start out comproms-
ing you will have TO compromise still more
before you get through Ttake the inttia-
tive and referendum, for instance. Re
formers lige the Oregon form; the OPP
ponents Of the initiative and referendum
will attack II at various points.
There are three things that opponents
may be expected to do. They will not at
tack the principle-the time Ia past for
cent for the petition as large as possible;
| they will want to limit the number of
propositions TO be submitted at one time,
and they will Insist that a majority Of all
the votes cast at the election be required
for adoption.
| for while the percentage required in Ore
| gOn is good, 1t is not a vital matter just
| what percentage is required. The second
| objection is more serious, for IL a limit is
| fixed the special interests can rush In
| enough unimportant propositions to exclude
those that they object to- The third Is
most serious OF all. 1t gives the opponenth
OF reform the benefit OF all the ignorant
| the careless and the indifferent. Why
should the opponents Of reform be given
people when they try to legislate for them
| selves.
4 plurality elects when we select
| governor and members of the legislature
| to act for US. Why should not a plurality
| pass a law by direct legislation? II those
| who vote for the proposition outnumbeI
! those who vote against 1t. that is enough
Let the submission Of the proposition bC
| thoroughly advertised, then let the Law
assume that those who do vote are willing
for the matter to be determined by those
who do vote. That is much more reasona
BILE than to count those not voting as Il
they voted in the negative. This is thu
most important point TO be guarded. IN
sist that only a majority of those voting
on the proposition shall be required.

tariff body = final agreement Was re-
ported on bill TO be presented 20 the
minority members At meeting Of the fun
committee Tuesday.
The bill embodics features Of both the
Dalzeu bill providing for tariff board
without inqulsitorial powers, and the
LonEworth bill. which creates tariff
commission with power to require the pro-
duction Of books and papers and summon
witnesses.
The new measure will provide for the
continuance Of the work OF the existing
board. giving It permanent status, with
probably some augmentation OF functions
drafted from the Longworth bill. The
president has been urging legislation slong
this line.
The republican members who participated
In the conference decided not to make the
bill public at this time.
Cummins Resumes speech.
1T Is not fair to the people Of the United
states to ask their government to make
donation in the nature OF a ship sub.
sidy to persons unknown and Tor enter
prses unknown, except upon the fullest in
formation" declared Senator Cummins in
the senate today. when he resumed
speech begun Yesterday in opposition to
the Gallnger shipping bill senator Cum
minis had questioned Senator Gallnger as
to the difference in cost between sailing
an American ship with American sailors
and the operation Of foreign ships
senator Gallinger said he believed Mr.
Cummins was one Of those who thought
the cost Of production at home and abroad
could be figured out mathematically
Il am not one Of those" added the New
Hampshire senator.
Mr. Cummns then said he believed the
subsidy bill which is designated to en-
courage the establishment Of lines between
the United States and South America. Is
based upon an unsound principle applied
in an unscientific and uninteligent way.

10 show Conspiracy Against
the Defendant.
WHEELING w. Va. Jan. H.-No in
dication was given this morning as TO the
names of the witnesses that would be
called in the Schenk case today court
having adjourned more than an hour
earlier last night than had been planned,
The developments of each day henceforth
can hardly be anticipated.
1t was stated by the defense at noon
it would probably rest it's case at
o'clock today and that It would not report
to the insanity plea.
Just before court opened Prosecutor J.
b. Handlan said in his opinion Mrs. Schenk
would not be placed on the stand by the
defense. He supported It by adding that
the night of her arrest she promised to
tell him all about the case, but had failed
to do it.
Reported Confession Denied.
When questioned concerning the alleged
assertion of Prosecutor Handlan that Mrs.
Schenk had made confession to him, At
torney O'Brien denied it, saying she had
never made a confession and always main
tanned her innocence.
! DR.. S. L. Jepson, who examined Schenk
in company with Dr. Hupp the prosecu-
| tion's star witness was then called to the
stand. The witness told of having visited
Schenk in the hospital and making various
! tests.
From what you learned" asked J. ]. F.
| OBTien. plus what DR.. Hupp told you,
didn't you come to the conclusion that he
was suffering from gastric troubles and
not arsenical poisoning?"
mo. l could not say that. He had evil
| IDENTIFY some arsenic"
Chronic Lead Poisoning.
! On cross-examination he said Schenk was
undoubtedly a big, healthy man before his
alleged poisoning, and had lost much weight
since. He admitted all symptoms which he
| found indicated that Schenk was suffering
! from chronic lead poisoning and also arsen-
| ical poisoning
Mrs. Jane Hedges, on direct examination
! said:
| Albert Schenk told me that John had
bought his wife a 5000 automobile and
| that he said L hope she breaks her neck
| the first time she goes out in IL. | will
! leave no stone unturned to get rid Of that
woman and another out of the family"
! On cross-examinaton Mr.. Handlan
sought to establish the fact that the wit
ness was an enemy OF Albert schenk, who
headed a syndicate for the purchase of a
! large tract Of land and that suit had been
brought against her
She would not admit this, however, and
declared that she was on friendly terms
! with Albert
The defense rested at $3.50 o'clock this
| afternoon.

for the relief of water users under the

the secretary OF the interior and reclarna-
ton officials, Congressman Kinkaid has
concluded to take his chances for Sc
curing relief for his constituents under the
North Platte project, under the Curtis
bill, which has been before the committee,
having been assured by such officials that
the act will be construed in a way to per-
NIT the secretary OF the interior TO make
new contracts upon more favorable terms
with water users, who on account OF crop
failures by reason of lack of water and
frost, as well as inability to meet their
payments from other causes. are unable to

the bill introduced by Congressman Kin
kaid, recommended by the North Platte
