Farmers Will Buy Autos
AT Nebraska State Fair

II Is the opinion OF Joe G. Ger
sDacher of the Toozer Gerspacher
Motor company that there will be
heavy buying Of the motor cars at the
Nebraska State fair.
From all indications there Is to be
serious curtailment on the production
of automobiles until the war is over.
Farmers i'll particular find the auto.
mobile necessary to the conduct OF
their business, and many OF them re-

ton will be influenced to purchase
cars now in order hat they may
have them for their needs later on.

round go. As a matter of fact it was
one of the most foolish matches ever
made, for sullivan was hogfat and prac-
tically refused TO do any training at all
He was SO confident Of his oun ability
that he viewed challengers with abso-
lutte disdain.
Wilson trained faithfully and was in
excellent condition when he stepped into
the rms for the match.
The visiting pugilist gave little of his
time to actually fighting his caveman
antagonist. on the contrary he devoted
his efforts entirely to avoiding Sulli-
vans blows or taking them in such
manner that he would not be beaten un-
conscious. In the first round he was
either knocked down or thrown to the
floor by Sullivan eleven times. Several
times he deliberately hit the floor and
stayed there for the allotted time and
rest. He did. however. succeed in send
ing home some blows of his own TO
Sullivan's stomach and the champion
was in acute distress. His stomach was
so weak from the effects Of the drinks
he had poured into it that it couldn't
stand Wilson's hammering.
In the second round Wilson hit the
floor eight times, and the procedure was
constant during the remainder OF the
fight. The conditions Of the contest
however. were Interchangeable. and SulIi-
van, conqueror Of Paddy Ryan. had TO
listen to the referee declare Wilson the
winner. As = matter OF fact Wilson
was actually the fresher Of the two. for
Sullivan was decidedly a sick man when
he reached his dressing room.

Germans second lines, keeping a time

The next day, the Champagne effort

that the German plan was to take

smash one or the other of the divided

impossible of realization and the

Topeka by the Provident association.
The children misunderstood the ar

by Mrs. Strain was that they should
get off the Rock Island train at Clyde.
She met every Rock Island train day

were expected until she heard from the

Mrs. Strain is looking after five of

APPROVE MURDER
Pan-SOviet Council Puts o. X
on Killing of Nicholas.
Even the Socialist Press De-
clares Death Unnecessary.

Stockholm, July 2s.-The Soviet
pan-executive council has placed its
approval on the execution of former
Car Nicholas, It was learned here to-
day.
Chairman sverdloff announced at a
meeting of the council that official
notification of the execution had been
received from the Ural Soviet saying:
THE Moscow government had
planned to give Nicholas q trial for
his crimes against the people. but the
efforts of monarchists to kidnap the
former-czar made his execution in
evitable."
The pan-executives then passed the
following resolution:
I'VE recognize that the execution of
Nicholas was absolutely correct"
Will Publish Private Letters.
Sverdloff also told the council that
the body had come into possession of
valuable documents taken from the
former ruler, including his own diary
and that Of the former czarina and
also correspondence between the for
mer car and the Monk Rasputin and
between the czarina and the monk.
This will be published shortly, it was
said.
Press Disapproves.
The press of Russia, including the
Socialist newspapers, is condemning
the execution, declaring it cruel and
unnecessary. Nicholas. they point out.
was harmless and they declare that
the Bolsheviki claim that the Czecho-
Slovaks were planning to kidnap him
was made for the purpose of discred-
iting the Czechs and also to excuse the
execution.
Reports have reached here
that the Grand Dukes Ignor Konstan-
tinovitch, Konstantin Konstantino-
witch and Sergei Micha elovitch have
been kidnapped from Alpayevak after
a severe battle with the Red guards.

BAIT TO RADICALS
District Attorney Charges Bad
Faith in the Mooney Case.
Says Government Representa-
tive Admitted Monkeys Guilt.

Sacramento, Cal, July 26.-District
Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert Of San
Francisco. according to the sacra-
ernor william D. Stephens, requesting
him to make public the communica-
tons he has received from President
wilson, regarding the Thomas J.
Mooney case. In this letter and an af-
fidavit accompanying 1t, Fickert
ton commission sent here by the pres
ident to- investigate, among other
things, the Mooney trial.
.'Would Placate Radicals"
In the affidavit he charges that Fe-
lix Frankfurter, secretary Of the COM
mission. told him he was satisfied
Mooney was guilty and had a fair trial
but stated sit was the desire of the
federal administration to placate not
only the radicals in Russia, but the
radicals in the United States as we'll"
The affidavit also said Frankfurter
ste d the Investigation then under
way was due solely to the fact that the
president of the United States had
been misled in relation to the Mooney
case by persons connected with the
Bolshevik government in Russia.
Fickert further swore that Frankfurt
ter stated if the commission made any
report favorable to Mooney, it would
be done solely to satisfy the demands
of the radicals in the United States
and in Russia.
Mooney was convicted of murder as
a result of the preparedness day bomb
explosion in San Francisco, on July
%. 1915. in which ten persons were
killed and forty otferJ wounded.
Governor Stephens declined to COM
ment on the matters mentioned in

HEAR OF NO CONTRACT
Restaurant Owners Deny Report of
Union Agreement.

There is a wide divergence of opin-
ion among the restaurant and cafe
owners of Topeka today as to whether,
the elimination OF the closed shop
clause from the contract submitted
by the striking Cooks and Waiters'
union should make any difference in
the relations between the strikers and
their former employers.
Some of the restaurant men hold
the opinion that to recognize the
union in any way whatever thru sign
ing an agreement with it would be
tantamount to meeting the union de-
mands. Others are of the opinion
that the mere fact of signing a wage
agreement will have little effect on the
prestige of the union in the event that
it attempts to call another strike
These facts were brought out thru
an Investigation caused by an account
of the prospects of an early settlement
of the difference between the strikers
and the employers. Nearly every cafe
owner interviewed said: THE ac-
count is distorted. We have not been
even approached with a contract
which does not contain the closed shop
clause"
