KLNKAID HOPES

Congressman From Sixth Be-

Released.
HANGS ON LANE AND DAVIS
tFrom a Staff Correspondent }


Washington, July l6.-(Special Tel
egram. Judge Kinkaid, who has
been on nervous tension over re-
ports coming in from his district about
the shortage Of water in the Platte be-
cause of its impounding in the Path
finder dam, said today that he believed
relief would be granted by the recla-
nation service just as soon as an
agreement could be reached as to the
amount of water needed by senior
farmers along the river.
Following the resolution passed by
Senator Hitchcock yesterday calling
upon the secretary of the interior for
report "as to what extent the waters
of the Platte river would naturally be
available for irrigation of crops at this
season Of the year in Nebraska as far
east as Kearney and that have been
impounded in the Pathfinder reser-
voir," Judge Kinkaid had long con-
ference with members of the reclama-
ton commission today. He learned
that, although without authority to
act in the absence of Secretary Lane
and Director Davis, they would sug-
gest that the water be sold to those
now in need because of the lowness Of
the Platte at 20 cents per second foot
per acre.
Whether this agreement could be
consummated depends on. the secre-
tary of the interior and Director

German Efforts
To Force Back the
Russians Failure

Petrograd, July l5.--(Via London)
The Germans made a determined
effort yesterday to force back the
Russians in the region of Baranovichi,
where heavy fighting has been in
progress for some time. Three times
the Germans launched attacks in
massed formation. The war office
announced today that these attacks
had been broken down and that the
Russians, initiating counter attack,
made further progress.
The announcement says:
"On Thursday evening the Ger
mans, under cover OF a violent fire,
approached our barbed wire entangle-
ments in the region of the village of
Liobanichi. They were repulsed by
our artillery fire.
Yesterday the Germans opened a
violent artillery file against our lines
eastward of Gorodichtche Barano-
vichi sector, after which they assumed
the offensive in the region of Skro-
owa, but were repulsed with heavy
losses. A little later, after continua-
ton of the bombardment, the enemy
took the offensive in massed forma-
ton, little further north OF Skro-
bowa, but were again repulsed by our
fire. After having taken breath, the
Germans made a fresh attack in the
region of the same, village, but our
troops repulsed the enemy with ma
chine gun and rifle fire. We then
made a counter attack, which resulted
in the capture OF more ground, which
we are now consolidating,"

Charge Of British
Cavalry Staged as
In Napoleonic Wars

British Front in France (Via Lon
don), July l6.-After the breach was
made in the second German line yes.
terday cavalry detachments, English
and Indian, for the first time had the
reward of their years wait since
trench warfare began. They went
straight in the face of the Germans,
who were forming a new defense line
between the strong points Of High
wood and Delvillc wood. which the
British infantry was attacking.
1t was 7;30 in the evening when
they rode forth from the cover where
they were awaiting orders to cross the
fields after their patrols had felt the
way with clear going ahead, and be-
hind them the demolished trenches
of the first and second lines and an
area of shell holes, which made diff
cult progress to their rendezvous. The
infantrymen could hardly believe their
eyes.
When some Germans. with auto
matte rifles, which are virtually port,
able machine guns, blazed from a
wheat field the Dragon guards set
their lances and charged, wheeled and
rode back through them, as might
have been done in the Napoleonic
war. Thus for the first time in eight
cen months Of continuous warfare on
the western front, with its continuous
bayoneting, bombing, casing and
shelling, an enemy was Immediately
impaled from a horse.

Inquiry Being Made
To'Uncover Old Loan
Made by Gov, Butler

Lincoln, July 16.-(Special,) I'm
vestigation is on at the capitol to un-
cover facts concerning $4,000 loaned
by Governor David Butler back in
1870 to J. NJ. Smith, from the state
educational funds. The governor took
as security a mortgage on SIX lots
at the northeast intersection OF
Eighteenth and o streets. The matter
was discovered by DR.. G. 0. w.
Farnam, who has recently closed a
deal to purchase the tots from Cali
fornia man and who ran against the
snag in the title.
No warrant existed for such loan,
it is said at the state house, but such
transactions were common in those
days. 1t was on charge of similar
dealings that Governor Butler was
impeached a short time later.
Investigation among county records
show that a payment of $4,000 had
been made. No such records were
found at the capitol by Westering of
the treasurer's office and Willis of the
auditors office, who have been poring
through old state files in the basement
for several days.
Records were found, however,
where four payments of $3.50 interest
had been made on the loan. 1t was
also found that in 1886, sixteen years
later, the matter had been put iu the
hands of the attorney general for col
lection.
To quiet the title it will be neces-
sary to determine if the transaction
was made illegally. or if the loan is
outlawed. 1t is possible that the state
can still collect the amount due.

Suspend Loading Of
Submarine and This
May Delay It's Going

Baltimore, July l6.-The load
ing of the cargo for the re-
turn trip of the German submarine
merchantmen Deutschland was sus-
pended late this afternoon, and al
though permit was obtained for
work tomorrow it was undecided to-
night whether it would be taken ad-
vantage of.
A second gang Of stevedores was
put TO work today loading the rub
Der that is to be carried to Ger
many. 1t originally was intended to
ship this commodity in bags, in which
it had been packed, but it was found
this would take up too much space.
The removal of the rubber from the
bags consequently will cause an un-
expected lengthening of the time for
loading and it is considered improb-
able that the Deutschland could get
away with a full cargo before Mon
day. night No nickel so far has been
loaded on the submarine, while ap-
parently less than fifty tons of rub
Der have been placed in the hold.

Murder of Wife of
st. Joe Prosecutor
Remains a Mystery

St. Joseph, Mo, July 16.--Twenty
hours after the murder of Mrs. Oscar
D. Mcdaniel, wife of the prosecuting
attorney, in her home and the at
tempted assassination of Mcdaniel
the case tonight is as much a mystery
as ever. A dozen or more suspects
were arrested in the course of the
day, but all were released.
The theory has been abandoned
that the murder was only one step in
a plot for wholesale Jail delivery and
revenge upon the prosecuting attor-
ney. A threatening letter received by
Mcdaniel about two weeks ago and
the finding of a kit of tools today
which could be used for jail de-
livery appeared to bear this out.
1t is now suspected by officers that
the anonymous letter was written in
side the jail and a prisoner who was
in the Jail on charge Of highway
robbery is believed by the police to
know something about it. He and
several other prisoners were ques-
toned by the police today and it 10
rumored that one of them supplied 4
clue.

Jay Burns Declares
Details Of the Baking
Trade Known by Few

Everyone cats bread, almost
everyone buys the bread he eats, yet
not one person in thousand knows
anything OF the details of the baking
business" declared Jay Burns Of
Omaha, president of the National AS
sociation Of Master Bakers, who will
hold their annual convention at Salt
Lake City, August 7 to II. inclusive.
This is the reason, according to Mr..
Burns, that the national association
is about to inaugurate a change in
policy.
"The baking business has under
gone a radical change in the last
couple of decades" Mr.. Burns con-
tinued, "and from being small pro-
position in which few men were
interested, it has become the concern
of many, requiring the investment
OF hundreds OF thousands of dollars
in many instances The steady in
crease in the business and the acute
competition has developed many
problems of which the baker of a
generation ago knew nothing. The
present war in Europe, with its
greatly enhanced cost Of all food pro-
ducts, has intensified the problems
OF the baking trade so that the lead
ing bakers of the country today feel
that they desire to take the public
into their confidence and work CO.
operatively towards the production Of
the best sort Of bread possible. To
this end the program of the Salt
Lake City convention will be d.
vided almost equally between the
scientific side af baking and the pos
sible form which educational work
with the general public make take,
mot only are the bakers inter
ested in producing palatable and
nutritious bread under sanitary con-
ditions, but they are concerned in
many collateral matters such as
standardized flour, regulations tor
transportation of foodstuffs, and sim.
liar problems of general interest to
the public"
