JUDGE HENSLEY'S
TRIBUTE TO CODY
Life Long Friend of Famous
Scout Praises Gentle Spirit
and Lovable Personality.
MONUMENT IS SUGGESTED

The Columbus Telegram, of which
Lieutenant Governor Howard is edi-
tor, this week prints an interesting
appreciation OF the work OF the late
Colonel w. F. Cody, written by
Judge w. N. Hensley of Columbus.
Judge w. N. Hensley enjoyed the
friendship of Buffalo Bill" for many
years. As editor OF the Columbus
Era, which later became The Tele-
gram, the Judge gave the colonePs
wild west show its first newspaper
publicity when it was organized. His
comment on the passing OF the ia
nous scout: :
ain the passing OF Colonel w. F.
Cody, world wide known as Buffalo
Bill | now see him in retrospect, not
as the Snowman, playing to the
worlds prurient masses or re-enact-
ing before the crowned heads of Eu-
rope, in realistic detail the fullness OF
Indian life and customs on the far
western plains of America, but ] see
him as reflected in the gentle spirit,
lovable personality and heart-grip-
ping friendship OF the man who
draws mankind to him because OF the
human souls craving for that sweet
companionship which finds its high
est reward in bringing love. succor,
comfort and hope to others, that they
may be lifted up into strength and
renewed courage to face the future
and win life's battle.
81 became personally acquainted
with Colonel Cody in the searly 70s,
meeting him frequently in Omaha,
North Platte and here in Columbus,
where he would occasionally come to
visit his closest personal friend and
old frontier life companion and as
sociate, Major Frank North. whose
home was here in Columbus, and who
was father OF Mrs. f. Fl. Chambers.
And right here, let me say, that |
have heard Cody remark more than
once, in all the candor and earnest
ness of the man, that the people OF
Nebraska and eastern Wyoming
should ever hold in grateful remem-
brance the name OF Frank North, tor
to him above all others OF the noted
plainsmen, they were indebted in
deepest gratitude for protecting their
lives and property. and in emphasis
OF this statement, he said that Major
Frank North. as the brave and gal
liant leader of the Pawnee Indian war
rors, was a more formidable force in
preventing hostile Indian incursions
and in driving the Indians back to
their reservation than was the en-
tire force OF the United States troops
stationed in western Nebraska and at
other points in the west.

Commerce Commission Takes
Drastic Step to Move Coal

EFFECTIVE IN ONE MONTH

Washington, Jan. 20.-Drastic reg
ulations designed to relieve the short
age in coal cars and help bring about
a lowering of present high prices of
coal were prescribed today by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The regulations require return to
original owners of all coal cars as
fast as unloaded and give the rail-
roads ten days to devise methods for
relieving the shortage in other types
of cars.
The commission order also re-
quires the railroads to apply the same
regulations to refrigerator, heater,
ventilated and insulated cars.
Order Effective in Month.
The new orders become effective
February 81. The committee which
the railroads are called on to appoint
should be vested, the order states,
with plenary powers and should CO.
operate with the commission in seek
ing relief for the shortage of other
types of cars. Unless such COM
mittee is appointed within ten days
the commission declares it will act
independently and consider the is
suance of such order as it deems nee
essary to relieve the situation. In is
suing today's order the commission
was divided, Commissioners Clark,
Clements and Hall dissenting from
the majority view. The new regula-
tons continue in effect till May /.

tinuous and the fighting OF greatest
intensity. RoeuX is one of the key
points in the 0ppy supplemental line

FROM APRIL is TO MAYf
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN
approximately Fifty Thousand Pris-

Same Period of Time-NIany

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY, May
14.-Germany lost 100000 men In
killed, wounded and captured be-
tween April 16 and May on the
French front alone In the two weeks
previous the losses even have been
greater. Figures from which this
estimate is given are those from
headquarters and are considered very
conservative. The totals may be
more.
Between April 16 and May II the
French captured 49,579 prisoners, in
Guiding 976 officers. Other captures
reported include 440 heavy and seal
ed cannon, 943 machine guns and
1856 cannon
A vast number of prisoners are
being added to that number hourly.
Raids last night brought dozens OF
prisoners into camps. The French
troops are terrorizing the German
lines and seizing troops in order to
get stories OF how Hindenburg troops
are now disposed against the western
front.

MINISTER WAR
QUITS POST
RUSSIAN DuMA MINISTER on,
WAR AND MARINE HAS RE-
SIGNED FROM CABINET.
THE RESULT OF FRICTION
Resignation Brought About BY DIFF
ferences Between the Military
Department and Soldiers
and Workmen.

LONDON. May I'M. Gutchkoff.
duma minister of war and marine,
has rendered his resignation from
the cabinet, Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd announced today.
NJ. Gutchkoff was formerly men,
Der of the council of empire, a pres
ident Of the third duma and prom
inent in the Zemstvo movement In
Russia. He was known as a liberal
of great ability.
Presumably his resignation comes
about as a result of the increased
friction between the Russian mill
tary department and the soldiers
and Workmen's delegates. General
korniloff. commander Of the Petro-
grad garrison, resigned that post
yesterday for that reason.
Gutchkoff's most recent orders to
the Russian army indicated his ex-
trmeme liberalism. He decreed, af-
ter conference with the represen-
tatiyes of the soldiers, that there
should be complete equality between
the officers and the enlisted men
that enlisted men need not salute
their superiors, that the servile
sir need not be used and that cor
poral punishment in the army be
abolished utterly.
