that of Samuel Patterson of Lincoln.

held the position for many years Pat
terson Is the only Nebraska man Sec
rotary Bryan and Senator Hitchcock
have been able to agree upon for a
federal position since the democratic
administration came into power.
Nebraska patronage disposed of up
to this time has been under direction
of Secretary Bryan. The fact that the
senator has been allowed to share in
this latest distribution is taken by
some Nebraskans as indicating that
there has been political reconcilia-
ton of the two men. but those ac-
ouainted with the situation do not be-
lieve that there will ever be full and
free working arrangement between the
two in Nebraska politics.

reelected president general of the
woman's auxiliary to the congress.
Views upon the effect of government
al influence upon business widely at
variance with those expressed Thurs
day by George w. Perkins of New
assistant secretary of commerce, at
the final session of the congress last
night.
Comments on Criticism.
"Mr. Perkins told you that we have
enough laws telling US what we can't
do in business, and what we need is
laws telling US what we can do" he
SAID. The same arraignment might be
brought against the Ten Command
mentS.
Mr. Perkins said he would like to
nave all the tariff matters adjusted by
commission which should be a sort
OF tariff court Again. while condemn
ing government officials he saws the
courts can do. and are doing, precisely
the same thing. He belongs to a DO
litical school which believes that court
decisions are right only when they are
his way"
Mr.. Sweet said that while he agreed
with what Mr.. Perkins said about the
removal of the tariff from politics, mr.
Perkins did not seem to realize that the
S1xty-second Congress provided for a
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce to go into such problems"
Says Bureau Is Non-Partisan.
ut is my belief" he continued, that
this bureau is as scientific and as non
partisan and as competent to give ad-
vice to Congress as any separate COM
mission which either the President or
Congress could appoint or the people
elect"
Kai Flu Shah. envoy extraordinary to
the United States from China, another
speaker, declared the United States the
proper country In which to float Chi
nese loans
There has been opposition to the
introduction Of foreign capital into
China for the reason that foreign con-
| troll may follow foreign loans,' he
said THE United States is country
a bsolutely free from Interior motives
! in this regard. The introduction OF
| American capital. therefore, is vel.
! coined by the government and people
OF China. In China trade Is certain
to follow the loan"

tary of the Treasury. advocated the

quest for a ruling on it's recent order

Mr. Fulton states that he has deposited
with the Georgetown Gas Light Com

Is that gas companies should pay in

pose Of extending mains.

IN GERMANY
TREATED WELL, HE SAYS
Ambassador Gerard Declares That
There Is No Diversity in
Handling Foe.

BERLIN, May 1.-The Lokal Anzei-
ger prints an interview with James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador, con-
corning the treatment Of war prisoners
in Germany Mr. Gerard is quoted as
follows:
"a diversity of treatment among
British and other prisoners in Germany
does not occur. In general, one can
say that they are well and abundantly
clad. The American embassy. here dis
poses of funds to provide them cloth
ing when the wish is expressed for
this, but apart from that the prisoners
also receive everything. necessary from
the camp commandant. The diet is the
same as for the German troops in the
barracks.
Prisoners Complaints.
I'VE receive many complaints con-
corning the bread, as the prisoners
neither like it nor does it agree, with
them. However, that can hardly be
helped. The meat rations also are de-
clared insufficient by prisoners. but
there is nothing astounding in that
as English soldiers are accustomed to
| a particularly abundant fare. British
officers complain that the sleeping
rooms are not spacious enough and
that they are imprisoned in company
with other nationalities.
Fare More Abundant.
Apart from all this can only say
ly is not enviable, but, considering cir
cumstances, is quite tolerable. The
German authorities will take into con-

CHARGES ARE DROPPED
WITH COURTS CONSENT

Chief Justice Covington today, at the
request Of Assistant United States At
torney Hawken. permitted the dropping
trust law made against Albin Price. a
commission merchant. Mr.. Price was
one of thirty-one dealers indicted last
September on a charge of boosting
the price of foodstufrs following the
outbreak of the European war The
commission merchant Is ill, the court
was told. and the indictment has preyed
on his mind
Robert A. Golden. another merchant
mentioned in the indictment. was also
relieved from the charge some months
ago. prior to his DEATH 1t was shown
of the corporations mentioned in the
indictment when the alleged offense
was committed.
Others Must Stand Trial.
The other twenty-nine dealers named
in the indictment must stand trial on
the charge of boosting prices. Chief
Justice Covineton so declared today,
when he overruled demurrers made by
the merchants who claimed that the
indictment did not allege a crime under
the law and from it's verbiage left an
uncertainty as to whether the mer-
chants conspired to defraud the grow
ers of the goods or the consumers in
fixing the price at which all would sell
products consigned to them and at
ducers
The demurrers were argued some
weeks ago and have been held under
consideration by the court

Arthur II. Holder. of the legislative

Chairman Mcconnell.
He traced the history Of pension sys-
TENS, which, he said. had been brought
about among the industries, and they
came because the workmen demanded
them. He spoke of the difficulties met
by a man of forty or over who sought
job. 1t is hard for him in private
life. and even the government is I'M
willing to take on man of forty
years.

denied these privileges.

Expects Increased Efficiency.

Charles H. Nesbit. superintendent of
insurance for the District, spoke on
the need of pension system for the
civil employe. 1t will result in in
creased efficiency. although at this
time there is no more efficient organi-
zation than the federal government, he
went on.
In urging the need of pension legisla
ton he cited case in one Of the gov
eminent bureaus where a chief OF di-
vision had been summoned before the
head Of the department because the bu-
| reau was behind in the work. The chief
pleaded that he could do no better. and
invited the Secretary Of the department
to drop in the bureau at some unexpect
ed time and the question would answer
| itself. The Secretary did drop in, and
he found some of the old employees asleep
doing in the middle of the day. and out
| of the seventeen employees there were
| only four to really do the work Of the
bureau.
| He said that the most important mat
! ter before the government today was a
pension system for federal civil employees.
The service should be relieved Of the
deadwood.

zation. elected last night, are: President,
