Say Victims of River
Were Too NegleCtful

Several witnesses for the defense in
the suit for $4,000 against Sarpy
county for the death OF Mrs. May
Swift declared that the automobile
in which she was riding when she met
death must have disregarded barrier
in the middle of the road. This
barrier, they said, consisted of three
fence posts set in the road. Harry
Rahl declared the barrier was sixty
or eighty feet from the river bank
when he saw it day or two before
the accident, which occurred about
midnight of July 80, 1916. The auto
mobile rushed at high speed into the
river and five Omahans were
drowned.
Witnesses testified also to the ter
rife voracity of the river along the
bank at that time. Sometimes, they
said, it would eat away sixty feet OF
bank in twenty-four hours, sweeping
away forests and fields.
Rail- declared the river was plainly
visible to the south and also visible
ahead, at the end of the road. He said
the occupants of the automobile could
lave seen the water ahead when $50
feet away.
Trial of the case was suspended for
the afternoon tc allow Judge Wood
cough to go to Wayne, Neb., to de-
liver the high school commencement
address.

WHEAT FUTURE DEAL
BANNED ON CHANGE
Clearing House Association
Fixes July and September
Delivery Prices; No Action
Taken on Corn and Oats.

The clearing house association Of
the Omaha Grain exchange has COM
pletely eliminated speculation i'll
wheat.
At special meeting the clearing
house fixed $3.50 a bushel as the
maximum price on the July wheat
option and $244 on September.
The association barred all trading
in the July and September options,
except in cases where exchange mem
bers have contracted for delivery
during these months.
So far restrictions have not been
placed on trading in futures on corn
and oats.
Following the action. of the clear
ing house, prices on the wheat OPP
tons went tumbling, cash going along
with them.
The July option, which Wednesday
sold at $2.35, dropped to $40, and
September went from $500 to $l.95
a bushel. Cash wheat sold off Is
cents, $2S2 being the best price at
which a sale was made.
One report current on the floor of
the exchange, which it was said had
to do with the downward plunge OF
prices, was that the United States
government had asked Great Britain
and its European allies to sell i'm

Price Fixing
(From the New York SUM

The Government OF the United
States undoubtedly has both the right
and the power to fix the prices which
it will pay for any commodity needed
for its operations either in time OF war
or in time Of peace.
II the seller declines to part with
his goods at the price fixed by the
Government the Government un-
doubtedly possesses the right and the
power to take what it needs for war
purposes, the compensation 70 be de-
termiued iudicially in the regular way
by the tribunal established for that
purpose.
This seizure OF property for war
needs is akin to the well known pro.
cess OF condemnation for public use
IN time OF peace. II is, in fact, con-
demnation for public use. II does not
become coniscation until there is a
denial to the owner of the right guar
anteed to him by the Fifth Amend
ment OF the Constitution; that is guar
antee that his property shall not be
taken without just compensation.
Just" compensation is compensation
fixed by judicial process, not arbitrar-
j fly fixed by the Government acquir-
ing the property.
This broad, fundamental, unalter-
able principle. this great absolute right
OF every citizen to have his property
protected against confiscatory use, has
had within a few days signal Slustra-
ton in the United states Senate in
the skedaddle from the Smoot amend
ment to the food control bill as soon
as the significance Of that measure OF
conhscation was generally recognized
In the face OF this general recog-
milton OF an eternal and inalienable
principle OF American right. the Pres
sident's proclamation to his fellow
countrymen now declares that I'VE
must make the prices to the public
the same as the prices 70 the Govern
ment." This can be interpreted only
