prices Of food products, such power will
not be exercised unless war exigencies
render Il necessary.
Unqualified support OF such q law was
pledged by agricultural representatives
of thirty-two States in conference with
Secretary Houston at ST. Louis. Secre-
tary Houston, returning from this con-
ference yesterday, carried with him to
the White House assurances of the ut
most cooperation by the nations prin-
cipal farming interests in fulfilling the
Presidents plea for conservation and in
creased production of foodstuffs. The
governments machinery is ready to be
set IN motion to carry out the authorize
tions that Congress is expected quickly
to grant, Secretary Houston said last
night.
This governments machinery, now in
existance through the Department of
Agriculture and the Land Grant Colleges,
provides means for handling food prob
lens more effectively than in any three
nations OF the world the Secretary de-
clared.
Urges State Branches.
Fan-reaching steps to bring all the ma
tion's forces together to solve the food
problem were taken by Secretary Hous-
ton when he recommended that newly
created State councils of defense shall
appoint food control branches in every
State. In turn such boards shall desig-
nate subcommittee on food control in
every town, village and hamlet.
Thus will be brought into existence a
huge organization reaching into every
productive field to stimulate the output
OF staple crops. Requests sent out by the
Council of National Defense to the gov
ernors Of all States urged the Immediate
appointment of State councils to aid the
national body in preparing the country
for defense and war on Germay.
Secretary Houston. after conferring
with other members Of the Cabinet, hast
ened plans for the quick enlistment OF
100000 volunteers in the farm army. NO
one capable OF performing military serv-
! Ice will be accepted. Nor is there to be
conscrtption to raise this great force.
Secretary Houston and his aids are map
ping out details to use the farm army
where II will accomplish greatest re-
suits. The army will be shifted from one
section to another. in such numbers as
are necessary to suit seasonal conditions.
''Planting Month" Proposed.
In appeals sent out through Congress
men Of the various States last night by
the American Defense Society, the COVER
nors OF all States are urged to speed the
move for greater production by designat-
ing the period between Aprila15 and May

LAMBERT RUNS DONW|
THE GORHMAN BOY.
Manslaughter Charge Against
Omaha Taxi Owner and For
mer Palmer Farmer.
WITNESSES TELL STORIES

Calvin T. Lambert, 80 years old,
owner of fleet of taxicabs, is on
trial in Judge Sears court on a
charge of manslaughter. A car which
he was driving on August Is, 1916,
struck down William Gorhman, 9
years old, at Twenty-ffth and Farnam
streets, the lad dying a few hours
later at the Wise Memorial hospital.
Several witnesses were called to
testify in Lambert's behalf. Henry
M. Binder, who was at the wheel of
machine directly in front of LAM
bert's car when the accident occurred,
gave his version of how he believed
the tragedy happened. The boy ran
into the street, closely followed by
little girl, and Lambert was power
less to avoid striking him, Binder tes-
tilted.
w. E. Van Cott,,driver of another
car which was passing at the time of
the accident, told the court that Lam
bert stopped his machine almost in
stantly as the front wheels of the
taxicab struck the lad. Other wit
nesses testified that the taxicab man
was driving at speed of about five
miles an hour.
On the same day that Lambert went
on trial the father of the boy, Ira, O.
Gorhman. filed suit in district court
for $4,000 damages against him for
his sons DEATH
Lambert was farmer, living near
Palmer, Neb., before coming to
Omaha to engage in the taxicab bus
mess.

the extent that it was unpleasant to
walk the streets to that extent did the
merchants and their wives remain in

local wholesalers feel elated over the
number of orders being received.
