Lincoln, Jan. 17,-Resolutions com.
mending a republican congressman
Reavis of the Nebraska First district
were introduced in the house this
morning by Representative Waite, a
democrat, and adopted by the demo-
cratic house.
The resolution commended Con
gressman Reavis for his action in re,
fusing to continue the freed seed dis
tribution to voters in this district
Murtey of Cass was not in full accord
but the members as a whole appeared
to believe it was about the proper
caper.
Mr.. Waite said there was just as
much justice in congressman dis
tributing fountain pens and buggy
whips as there was i'll sending out
garden seed. The resolution urged
other congressman and the senators
from Nebraska to follow suit.
After the introduction of bills the
house listened to an address on good
roads by ]. c. Wonders, representa-
tive of the government, and then ad-
journed to visit the state farm to at
tend an agricultural meeting.

Does Not Want to Stand Blunt
of Blame for the
Crime.
THREE TO 10 AND is YEARS

Fremont, Neb., Jan. H-(Special
Telegram. AFTER celebrating less
than twenty minutes the jury i'll the
case of the state against Louis ASS
man, accused Winslow bank. robber,
brought in a verdict of guilty. While
the jury was out Tom Calcord, the
other accused bandit, pleaded guilty.
Assman was sentenced to from three
to fifteen years, while Calcord was
given from three to ten. Calcord told
County Attorney Joe Cook that he
did not want to stand trial and then
take the brunt of the sentence, as he
believed he was held responsible for
the crime.
During the forenoon Mrs. Assman
was on the stand and testified as to
her husbands habits of drinking and
using drugs. For the last few weeks
before the crime, the witness said,
the defendant had not been acting
nationally, at times appearing to be
under the. influence of drink or drugs.
A do or two before the robbery he
appeared nervous and was unable to
remain at the store for any length
of time
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Assman, par
cnts of the defendant, testified as to
their sons early life and of his be-
coming addicted to the use of alco-
holic liquors and drugs after he be-
came a druggist Up to that time
he was a model son, they testified.
DR.. A. S. Pinto of Omaha testified
as an expert, declaring that if the
conditions described by witnesses for
the defense existed, Assman could
have been suffering from form OF
insanity.
At the opening of court this morn
ing County Attorney Joe Cook asked
permission to recall Detective Charles
Pipkin of Omaha, who had been
working on the case. Pipkin testified
that during a conference with ASS
man December 10, two days following
the robbery, Assman had asked the
detective if the Winslow job had not
been tipped off to the Omaha police.
Pipkin said he told Assman that it
had been. Assman then turned to Cal
cord and said: There, didn't | tell
you that guy would go SPILL" the
witness testified.

Moriarty Feels Peeved
Because Press Is Active

Lincoln, Jan. l7.-(Special. with
his mind filled with visions of leaks,
especially the one now holding the
stage at Washington, Senator Mori-
arty OF Douglas county today arose
in the senate and called attention to
the fact that while the senate had
taken every precaution yesterday to
surround itself with all the provisions
Of the constitution guarding publicity
of proceedings of an executive session
the newspapers were able to tell what
happened. with the vote of each men,
ber and the speeches of some.
After good deal OF discussion the
majority of the senator's felt more
like dofing their hats to the press
than roasting the papers as did Nor

Tense, plentifuly supplied indeed with
international laws, but with no ma
chinery for enforcing them and weak
ened by the fact that neither the
boundaries of the various states nor
their international constitution har-
monized with the aspirations OF their
constituent races or secured to them
just and equal treatment.
That this last evil would be greatly
mitigated if the allies secured the
changes in the map Of Europe outlined
in their joint note is manifest, and !
need not labor the point.
1T has been argued indeed that the
expulsion of the Turks from Europe
forms no proper or logical part Of this
general scheme. The maintenance of
the Turkish empire was during many
generations regarded by statesmen of
work wide authority as essential to
the maintenance of European peace.
Why, is it asked, should the cause Of
peace be now associated with COM
plete reversal of this traditional
policy'

THE answer is that circumstances
have been completely changed, 1t is
unnecessary to consider now whether

many of Secretary McAdoo's sug-

No partisan differences arose, Demo-

said tonight, to keep politics out of the
discussions and if deemed advisable
to expidite action, plans to put tariff

FIRST CALL FOR WAR
FINANCES COMES SOON
Subscriptions From Banks
to Treasury Certificate
Issue to Be Asked.

Washington, April 2o.--First call TO
the country for war finances will be
made, Secretary McAdoo announced
today, as soon as the $1,000, 100000
financial bill becomes a law, probably
within three or four days.
The call will be for subscription to
a part of the $4,000, 100000 issue of
treasury certificates of Indebtedness,
designed to meet financial needs pend
ing the issuance of the $4,000. 0OO, 900
in bonds and the receipt by the gov
eminent of its war taxes, and will be
made upon the banks of the country
and not upon individuals.
The first portion of the $1,000. 100000
bond issue probably will be offered to
the public within 60 days, hardly
earlier
In making its first call for finances,
reserve system. Anticipating the for
nal request the federal board today
instructed the II reserve banks to en-
list the cooperation of all banks
throughout the country. state and ma
tional. as well as trust companies, in
the program of preparing the field.
This means that the banks of the
country will be asked to subscribe, as
literally as. they may and as the
money is needed, to the issue of GER
tificates of Indebtedness which will be
put out in advance of. the big bond
issue.
How many millions of the certifi-
Gates will be issued, has not vet been
determined. The first offer, Secretary
McAdoo announced probably would be
$20O,o0O,O0o. Other offers by the hun
dreds of millions, probably will follow
as the funds are needed. The interest
rate also has not been definitely de-
cided on. Under the law the secretary
may pay up to 31a per cent. Sound
ing of sentiment yesterday and today
revealed n willingness of banks to
take substantial offering at as low
a rate as 21a per cent, and Secretary
McAdoo announced that "a wide mar
ket" could be created if the certificates
were offered at per cent.
Certificates purchased by the banks
may be used in lieu of cash. Mr.. Nc
AdoO again announced in paying for
the bonds when issued. Authority for
receiving subscriptions to the GER
tificates has not been given as yet.
Moneys received for the certificates
will be promptly returned to the mar
ket under the secretary's program so
that there may be no arrangement of
the money market. The proceeds will
be paid out by the government in
business transactions, the money will
again be deposited in the banks and
the banks will be in the position of
having both the money and the GER
tificates with which to meet with
drawals by depositors subscribing to
the bond issue.
The fullest cooperation of the fed
eral reserve board will he given to the
treasury department in disposing of
the certificates,
