Great Saving Is Possible if
Nebraska Fleece Is Shipped

button. ...

County agricultural agents all over
Nebraska report that there are more
than 100000 pounds Of wool now in
the hands Of small growers in the
state and that millions OF pounds are
being held by large growers.
An effort has been made to induce
the small growers to combine and
ship their fleece in carload lots to the
large commission houses in the east.
Omaha men who are licensed to
handle wool feel that it would be bet
ter for the interests of the wool grow
ers of the state and for Omaha for
the wool to be shipped here. They
receive no commission on their sales,
but are trying to establish a wool
market in Omaha and the argument
they use is that this is the logical and
strategical point for the location Of
such a market.
Great Saving Possible.
Wool is now purchased direct by
the manufacturer. He could come out
here, select his grades of wool, ship
it to his mills direct and save extra
expense of handling by brokers and
other middlemen, duplication of haul
interest on money invested in ad'
vances and extra insuraGe--all bis
items.
Wool growers in this section woulc
be benefited by the establishment 0.

create competing point against Bos

prices for their clip at all times.

and sometimes the principal was not
repaid in full. The arrangement was,
on the whole, wise and beneficial. not
withstanding these occasional minor
iEequities suffered by the District.
BY act of March 3, 1909, 35 Stat.
72S, the Commissioners are required
not to submit estimates in excess OF
twice the estimated revenue of the
District for the fiscal year to be pro-
vided for, after taking into consider
alton all charges against said reve-
nues in other than the District DILL.
This unwise law prevents the Com
missioners from suggesting to Con-
gress any alternative methods of ex-
pending the District revenues and
confines them to a single line of pro-
posals within the limits of the prob
able revenues. The result follows
that if Congress disapproves any sug-
gested expenditure there remains an
unexpended surplus of District rev.
enue, unless Congress substitutes
some other wise expenditure in it's
place. If Congress does not substi-
tute some better method of spend
ing this revenue than that proposed by
the Commissioners and rejected by
Congress, the Districts legislature is
blamable. The reasoning which treats
this failure of Congress to select from
the many municipal needs of the Dis
trict sufficient to absorb the available
revenues as proof of the absence of
such needs and of an excess of local
revenue is fallacious and palpably un-
lust. , -. %.

Marine Corps Lost Heavily in
Heroic Fight Against Ger
man Hordes.
FACTS GIVEN AT HEARING

Information hitherto unpublished
regarding Marine Corps casualties in
France was disclosed today by Maj.
Gen. Barnett, commandant of the Ma
rine Corps, at hearing before the
House naval committee on the Marine
Corps provision of the naval appro-
priation bill.
Out of $500 marines engaged in the
fighting at Belleau wood. Gen. Bar
nett said, actual casualties were $40,
although only $500 have been Of
f1cially reported. After that battle
alone. he said. Gen. Pershing request
ed and was given 10000 men for ma
rine replacements.
Showed Unsurpassed Bravery.
These figures were given by Gen.
Barnett in recital of the marines
part in the war. which, he said. was
one of unexcelled bravery.
1.-The account of the marines in
France" he said. forms story of
almost continuous fighting, from
Chateau Thierry to where they helped
break the German line at Sedan"
The hardest fighting for the ma
rines, Gen. Barnett said, was at
Beueau wood, where one regiment
suffered casualties of 80 per cent, with
many others suffering 40 to so per
cent. All through the American &C
tivities, he stated, marines were used
as shock troops and the toll OF killed
and wounded was largely dispropor-
tionate to the personnel of other
branches of the service. For bravery
in battle, he stated, sos marines have
been cited.
Besides the fighting in France, the
marines carried on many other duties
in all parts of the world.
States Need of More Men.
Regarding the future of the Marine
Corps, Gen. Barnett stated that in the
work of occupation abroad and in
many other activities more marines
will be needed. Specifically, he recon-
mended immediate legislation to in
crease the Marine Corps permanent
authorized strength from 1900 tc
33,125 men Secretary Daniels, he ex.
planned, is prepared to approve an in
crease only to 26,300. or one-fifth Of
the permanent naval strength.
Transfer of temporary officers tc
the permanent Marine Corps roll, Gen
Barnett stated, has not yet been ar
ranged, and for that reason especially
he urged legislation at the present
session of Congress fixing the corps
strength.
Substantial reduction in the $155..
1885, 900 appropriations for the Marine
Corps originally prepared during the
war are proposed. Gen. Barnett stated

CANDIDACY FOR SPEAKER
Massachusetts Members Action
Means Contest for Office Among
Republicans of Next House.

Representative Frederick H. Gil1ett
today announced himself a candidate
for Speaker in the next House. AS
Representative James R. Mann. the
minority leader, announced his candi-
dacy yesterday, this will mean a con-
test for the office in the next republi-
can House.
Representative Gillett's announce
ment confirms statement printed ex-
clusively in The Star several weeks
ago that Representative Gillett would
be candidate whether or not Repre-
sentative Mann decided to seek the
honor.
Representative Gillett. with the sim
gle exception of former Speaker Can
non, is the veteran member of the
House in point of service. He has been
in Congress twenty-Six years, and was
acting minority leader during the last
session of Congress while Representa-
tive Mann was confined to Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore. Represent
ative Gillett is the ranking republican
on the appropriations committee.
His Formal Statement.
His formal statement was as fol-
lows:
II am candidate for Speaker of the
next House My decision has been
rea ched after receiving assurances OF
support from many sections of the
country and with the unanimous in
dorsement Of my republican colleagues
from Massachusetts,"
Representative Cannon, as chair
man of the Illinois republican delega-
ton in the House, which yesterday
launched the speakership candidacy of
Mr. Mann, today appointed an execu-
tive committee to manage his cam
paign for the speakership. This COM
mittee consists of Representatives
Madden, chairman; Rodenberg, NC
Kinley, Copley, Williams, Wheeler,
Graham and elect
Smith.
Mr.. Cannon announced that. in addi-
Illinois delegation in the House will
work in connection with this COM
mittee in behalf of Mr.. Mann's selec-
| tion by the republican caucus.
The campaign for Mr.. Mann will be
| undertaken at once. The announce
ment today by Mr.. Gillett of Massa-
! chusetts of his candidacy for the
speakership, with the backing of the
Massachusetts delegation, is expected
| to bring about a contest. No bitter
ness. however, is expected to result in
| what is considered to be friendly
! rivalry, and the interests OF the two
/ candidates will be urged by their re-
! shectiye followings along lines in
which no personal acrimony is ex-
! pected to be found.
