SENATE TO VOTE
ON flood CONTROL
BILL AT 4 today
Conference Report Approved
by House Last Week Will
Be Adopted Almost
Unanimously.

Washington,~D C., Aug. 7.-Afte1
another days debate of the admins
tration food control bill the senate
late today reached a formal agree
ment by unanimous consent to vote
tomorrow at four o'clock on the con-
ference report which was approved
by the house last week,
Both advocates and opponents OF
the legislation said tonight there was
no doubt of the senate's approval OF
the conference report, probably by
an overwhelming majority. Sending
of the measure to President Wilson
for his signature will be delayed until
Friday because the house adjourned
today until Friday and the final draft
must be signed by presiding officers
of both houses.
Many Features Criticized.
Discussion today, in criticism Of
many features of the Legislation and
mostly by senators who expect to
vote for the conferees draft, appar-
entity resulted in conviction among
the opponents that further discussion
would achieve nothing.
The principal speech of the day
was mads by Senator Wadsworth,
who said the good things in the bill
outnumbered the bad ones, but pro-
tested elimination of the provision for
a congressional committee to super
wise war expenditures and predicted
that the 81 minimum wheat price fix
ing provision might not operate as
its proponents believe. He urged CO.
operation between the Legislative and
administrative branches and a great
er degree of publicity of the conduct
of the war.
Long Delay Denounced.
The New York senator denounced
the delay in enactment of the first
food bill as a breaking of faith by the
with the people.
Some power, some person or some
influence prevented the enactment of
the so-called food survey bill" he said.
'We are told that the delay was
piece of legislative strategy. IT may

before the Third district exemption
Board Tuesday morning, when man
appeared for examination.
He went through all of the physical
tests all right, but when he opened
his mouth to have the teeth examined
there was only one tooth to be found
and that was far back on the left jaw.

The man appeared crestfallen, but
refused to speak. All he could do
was to grin.

I'VE had ought to spike some false
teeth in and send you to the front

The man had to be exempted. OF
course, but all of his troubles are not
over yet--in fact, they are just begin
ming.
When asked what could be done
Chairman Redwood said: I'VE will
probably turn him over to the district
attorney to be prosecuted for attempt
to evade the draft" =
All of the wounds were fresh, show
ing that the teeth had just been pulled
out.
Four First Men Pass.
The six Omaha men to be drafted
into the army when Secretary of War
Baker drew 258 out of the lottery are
going through the physical examina-
tions in fine shape.
John Kearns, drafted in the Firsr
district: Sebastiano Ciciulla, in ths
Third district; 7. w. Hayes, in the
Fourth district, and f. ]. Hart, in ths
Sixth, have all gone through their ex-
aminations. William d. McCulloch,
colored, in the Fifth, will ue exam
ined later, and Lester w. Southwick
of the South Omaha district is in New
York with a shipment of horses for
the government. He will be exam
ined there.
Hayes is the only man in the six
that is not married. He is rs years
old and works on the railroad. Cici-
ulla remarked that he would not ask
for exemption, but it is probable that
someone else will file claims for him,

Anton Bortka, 440l South Thirty
third street, was the only Sure

that the South Side exemption board
found among the eleven men they ex-
amined Tuesday morning. He passed
the physical examination and he does
not claim exemption.
Three of the eleven men were re-
iected. One is already a soldier and
six asked for exemption.
Drs. r. f. Schindel, II. T. Alling-
nam and A. L. Lindquist are busy
examining the men.

of the examiners informed him.
The South Side exemption board
links that it will have to call out
he double quota in order to get the,

Side is to furnish. If this is necessary
he board will call out 800 men to be

of Warsaw, Moscow, Petrograd
Kharkoff, Rustof and Ekaterinburg
Russia, is head of the Russian delega-
ton of seven men who are taking the
keenest and most detailed interest in
the tractor demonstration.
The fields were still wet for the
tractors and plows yesterday and the
Russians showed some impatience at
not being able to see the array of ma

SLAMS say the new government is de-
termined to introduce new methods,
not only in governmental affairs, but
also in agricultural activities, in order
that the great Slav state may be
rapidly rehabilitated and take its place
among the great free nations Of the
world, progressive in government,
progressive in industry, and progress
sive in agriculture. They feel that
this is not possible without the trac-
tor.
Believe He'll Buy.
An English officer, fully uniformed,
is showing great interest in the trac-
tors. He is saying little as to his
plans, but the tractor men all fell that
he is a prospective customer, and
there is an undercurrent of feeling
that he may at any time flash a check
book and put over big order for
tractors for the English government.
An Austrian officer, who was at the
tractor show last year and who then
sought to ship some tractors abroad,
is again at the show, but this year he
realizes that shipping tractors from
America to the central powers is i'm

them by dynamiting his craft and

Many of the Zeps used by Germany
in the war have been destroyed in
just such manner as is depicted in
the latest Ince spectacle. Every Teu-
ton dirigible is equipped with a con-
trivance which ignites a charge of
dynamite in the big envelope and
blows it to atoms. The commanders
are under orders to destroy their

1 THE Zeppelin's Last Raid" Thos.
| H. Ince's first great spectacle since
he gave Civilization to the world
and the initial release of the newly
organized United States Exhibitors
Booking corporation, reveals in mo-
ton pictures for the first time the
secrets of the Zeppelins by which
Germany is waging ruthless warfare
upon the allies on the west front.
The new Ince subject is one of mo-
mentous timeliness, inasmuch as the
story, which was written by c. Gard
ner Sullivan, also author Of 'CiviliZa-
tion," was based upon the growth of
the democratic spirit of revolution in
Germany, forecasts the overthrow of
Kaiserism, and many of the events
now occurring in Europe were antici-
pated by Mr.. Ince and MIR. Sullivan.
An honest-to- goodness Yep is the
central figure of"The Zeppelin's Last
Raid" and the portrayal of the inner
workings of the mammoth dirigible
is a scientific treat. The secrets of
it's construction, which the Germans
have jealousy guarded, are revealed
for the first time.
The Zeppelin is of the same type
the Germans are now using to spread
terror and destruction through
France and England and required
three months 20 build. 1t is approx
mately coo feet in length, with di-
ameter of 60 feet. 1t has an alumni
mum frame, with longitudinal and
horizontal cord, over which is the
outside cover of linen, painted black.
The shape is that of an exaggerated
cigar. Two silk balloons fill the in
terror, holding the hydrogen gas,
which gives the lifting power. Stat
ted runways nine inches wide with
guide rails extend the length of the
airship. giving access to the sleeping
quarters, an electric kitchen and the
five great steel engines, and in addi-
ton is shown how the death dealing
bombs are released, how the mighty
"vulture of the clouds" is propelled,
how altitude is Ieckoned and the OPP
GRAFTON of the steering gear.

dirigible is destroyed by it's own COM
