LINCOLN, May 5.--(special.)- .)-The cleo
ton of Charles w. Bryan as one of the
city commissioners Of IAncoln. and tho
probability that he will be selected by
nis associates for mayor has caused the
Political prophets to agree tina; Mr..
Pryan will be a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
II was an open secret during the cam
psjgn that Mr.. Bryan desired the cleo
ton as a stepping stone to the governor
ship.
The democrats of Nebraska may then
Rave an opportunity to select William
!. Bryan for the United States senate.
IN the Bryan followers this looks mighty
good. but the prospect of such a cOndi-
tion has already ruffled the feathers OF
some democrats who might be willing
tc stand for either. but do not feel like
swallowing them both.

Board Would Cut Taxes.

Methods for lowering the cost of
good roads construction and mainten-
ance to taxpayers of the state are
recommended in the biennial report
of the state highway commission. filed
with the governor.
The commission recommends the
state highway aid law be amended to
provide:
That state aid funds be apportioned
among counties in proportion to their
valuation, without respect to the
amount to be expended in the county,
with the provision that unless certain
sums be appropriated for road work
in the counties, state aid would be
relinqtished in proportion to the de-
ficiency between the county's appro-
priation and the amount called for by
the full state aid, such reverted
amounts to remain in the state high
way fund until the succeeding year.
That state and county aid for i'm
provement Of streets Of cities be re-
scinded.
That automobile license fees col
lected by the state shall be returned
to the county in which they are paid,
with the cost of collection and plates
deducted, to be turned into the coun-
tvs highway fund and be accounted
for by the county highway commits
sioner to the state commission.
That system of county police be
established to regulate automobile
traffic, with authority to arrest, and
that fines collected for violations of
such regulations be applied to the
costs of maintaining such police and
courts expenses and the remainder
be used for highway repairs.
That stringent regulations for width
OF tires be adopted by each county,
and enforced by the high way commits
sioner or county police
The commission makes no recon-
mendations for money to be appro-
priated as state highway aid in 1916
or 1917.
The commission in it's report says:
There is no reasonable doubt that
the extremely rapid increase in high
way appropriations has been one fac
tor, and a rather large factor, in the
rapid increase in taxation in all units
of government. The commission is
satisfied that the growth up to the
present time has been too rapid, and
has for the last two years made every
effort to discourage further increase.
The organization of the commission
and of the counties, however, has now
been brought up to such a high state
of efficiency that the expenditures
contemplated for 1915 can now be
handled without difficulty, and equal
amounts or slightly larger amounts
could be handled in future years. The
commission believes the rate at which
construction should proceed is abso-
lutely a legislative function"

JOHN D. JR., TELLS OF
HIS ATTITUDE IN STRIKE
Heir to Oil Millions Appears as Wit
ness Before Federal Commission
on Industrial Relations.

New York, Jan. 27-John D. Rookie
teller, Jr., in testifying before the
federal commission on industrial rela-
tons on Monday strongly defended his
attitude in the Colorado mine strike,
but at the same time he advanced the
opinion that it is just as proper for
labor to organize for its own protec-
ton as for capital to do so.
In addition to being an active direc-
tor of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, Mr.. Rockefeller is also one of
the chief directors of the Rockefeller
foundation, one of the philanthropic
aggregations of capital which are be-
ing investigated by the commission.
Mr.. Rockefeller was first asked as to
his occupation. He said:
THAT is hard question to answer.
I spend part of my time directing the
Rockefeller foundation, and part d1-
recting the industries established by
my father. At other times l devote
myself to matters of investment.
Then the witness began reading
statement, which had been prepared IN
advance.

FATE To FORCE
ITALY INTO WAR?
Rome Is Warned of UItimatum
From Germany.
MOBILIZATION OBJECTED TO
Kaiser Reported to Have Told Italy
of Effect of Massing Troops-Von
Buelow Is Envoy-Emperor
Sends Soldiers to Border.

Chiasso, Switzerland, Jan. 20.-Aus-
tria and Germany are growing daily
more alarmed at Italian war prepare
lions and are augmenting their
troops along the Italian frontier.
Germany especially is pouring regi-
ments from Bavaria into Tyrol, it be-
ing understood that the German gen
eral staff is controlling all the Aus
trian military plans.
Prince Won Buelow, German ambas-
sador to Rome, speaking to Italian
statesmen, made it clear that if arma-
ments and the concentration of troops
on the Austrian boundaries contin-
ued, the central empires would be
obliged to denounce the treaty Of the
triple alliance and send an ulttmatun1
to Italy demanding guarantees for the
maintenance of strict neutrality with
the alternative of being considered an
enemy,
That Italy is prepared to "act quick
ly" is not doubted by the Italian
press. She has now an army of 2,000.-
900 men under arms. Half of these
are at training camps. The other half
has been distributed among strategic
garrison posts, with heavy concentra-
tons at the extremes Of the line
Milan and Venice.
December s it was announced in
Rome that there were three German
army eorps-in all 10000 men-in
Trentino and that these had replaced
the 1talian-speaking Austrian Ievies,
which had been sent against the Rus
SLAMS in Gaicia.
Rome, Jan. 29.-Word has been re-
ceived here that the governor of
Yemen, Arabia, has discharged from
office the vice-governor of Hodeida,
the commander and officers of the
gendarmeries and the head of the pc.
lice, and has appointed a new vice
governor, in response to instructions
from Constantinople. This does not
entirely satisfy either the Italian gov.
eminent or public opinion in connec.
ton with the recent demands made
by Italy on Turkey.
The advance of the Turks on the
Suez canal is expected to bring Italy
into the war.

JEROME is DISMISSED
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
Thaw's Prosecutor and Nemesis Is
ousted by Teieeraph-Greatest
Obstacle TO Slayer's Freedom.

New York, Jan 2S.-W. T. Jerome,
for nearly nine years known as Harry
Kendall Thaw's nemesis, was removed
on Tuesday from his position of spe-
cial deputy attorney general Of the
state of New York by Attorney Gen
eral Woodbury., and at once ceased his
tight to have Thaw sent back to Mat
teawan insane asylum.
The reasons that actuated Attorney
General Woodbury. are embodied in
the telegram of dismissal which he
sent to Jerome. The telegram in part
read:
You and Mr.. Kennedy ought to be
congratulated upon the auccessful cul-
mination of your efforts for the return
of Harry K. Thaw to the rightful juris-
d1ctlon Of the courts of this state. The
case will now be handled by the at
torney generals Office. I thank you for
your services.
"EGBURT E. WOODBURY."
Thus ends the long prosecution of
Thaw by Jerome. And thus one of the
greatest obstacles between Thaw and
freedom is removed. Thaw's friends
are openly predicting that Thaw' s
chances for victory in his coming fight
are now more than bright.
Jerome has been connected with the
| case since the night the Pittsburgh
millionaire shot and killed Stanford
| White, nine years ago next June.
Through both sensational trials.
| through three habeas corpus hearings,
and through every recourse to law, old
and new, Jerome raced with Thaw,
and always barred the gate. After IS
months of waiting, the, unrelenting
| Jerome fetched Thaw back to New
York-the final chapter in the most
remarkable prosecution in criminal
annals.

State Donates $4,000 to war Belle

State Donates $4,000 to War Relief.
Wisconsin people have contributed
nearly $4,000 in cash, food, clothes
and other articles for the relief of the
Belgians, according to estimates made
by Clement c. Smith, chairman of
the Belgian relief committee of Mil
waukee, and Albert D. Campbell, who
had charge Of gathering the contribu-
tons in the state
This was remarkable showing for
the Wisconsin people, according to
those who had charge of the work,
since this year there have been so
many demands made upon every one
who is able to give for charitable pur-
poses.
Before the two main organizations
started to work in the state. smaller
associations were doing a great deal
toward collecting funds and clothing.
An association of women, living on
the East side in Milwaukee, out of
which the Milwaukee committee
grew collected several hundred dol
lars and thousands of articles of cloth
ing before their work was taken over
by the larger organization.
Since the organization of that COM
mittee nearly $4,000 in cash has been
collected in Milwaukee. All except
about $1,000 of this has been spent
for Milwaukee made goods and the
articles forwarded. The remaining
$1,000 will be spent within few days.
There have been 1900 barrels of
-four and two carloads of split peas
sent from Milwaukee to the general
committee in New York.
Besides Mr.. Smith those who con-
dncted the work of the Milwaukee
committee were: William w. Cole
man, vice chairman; David E. Edgar,
secretary; Walter Hasten, treasurer;
Frederick G. Morehouse, Frank R. Ba-
con, Fred w. Rogers, Oliver C. Fuller,
Sidney G. Courteen, Adolph Finkler
and E. D. Adler, members of the exec
utive committee.
The work which was done In the
state, under the supervision of Mr.
Campbell, resulted in raising about
$4,000 in cash and food and clothing.
About $4,000 of this amount was in
cash.
One car of corn, four cars Of -four
and many articles of clothing have
already been sent. Another car Of
wheat will be sent from Superior in
a few days. Besides this there are
several cars of potatoes, which will be
sent as soon as ships are equipped
with proper ventilation to carry such
a cargo. There are also 10000 pounds
of cheese ready to be forwarded.
