Horace. The college wishes it distinctly
understood that it deeply regrets his re-
marks and takes exception to all of them
The opinion of the faculty is that Ireland,
in the light of American ideals, has every
right to complete independence"
Later in the day Sir Horace spoke in a
similar vein before the Massachusetts sem
ate. He said:
"For America to make fight for Irish
independence would mean a split with
Great Britain. The only hope of peace in
the world is a mutual understanding be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
The idea of setting up an Irish nation at
this time is impractical. Until the world is
at peace Ireland must protect herself or be
protected from the outside"

.MONDELL NAMED
FLOOR LEADER
BY REPUBLICANS
Choice Made After Mann Is
Reelected to Position by
Conference and De-
CIineS to Accept.
Washington Bureau, Omaha Bee.

Washington Bureau, Omaha Bee.
Washington, March l1.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-The election of Repre-
sentative F. E. Mondell of Wyoming
to floor leadership in the Sixty
sixth congress by the committee on
committees of the republican caucus
today was inevitable after Repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois had been
given a splendid vote of confidence
by the committee, but declined to
accept the responsibility.
On the vote to make Mann floor
leader, Nebraska cast S votes for
Mondell and one vote for Long
worth.
Mr.. Mann gave his ultimatum that
he could not serve because his
health demanded consideration.
The second resulted in
Mondell being elected majority lead
er by a vote of l64, with certain
states absent and certain other
states Withholding their votes.
Nebraska on this vote gave Mon
dell five votes, one vote being cast
for Longworth of Ohio, the other
Longworth vote being cast by
Slemp of Virginia.
Reavis for Longworth.
Judge Kinkaid who is represent
ing Representative Reavis as the
Nebraska member on the committee
on committees, while casting the
vote of Nebraska for floor leader
made it plain that he was carrying
out the expressed wish of Mr.. Rea-
Wis in voting for Representative
Longworth. Otherwise the delega-
ton would have cast solid vote
for Mondell.
The votes which have been taken
in the committee during the last
week showed plainly that Mr. Mann
could have the floor leadership if
he wanted it. When he positively
declined on account of his health
to assume the responsibility the
committee on committees considered
other names, Representative ].
Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania
and Representative Frank w. Mon
dell of Wyoming being the most
prominent.
Finally Mr.. Moore asked that his
name be not considered, as it would
be necessary for him to give up his
place on the ways and means COM
mittee if he took the floor leader
ship, and Pennsylvania did not wish
to risk new man in a place so i'm
portant to that state.
This gave Mr.. Mondell a clear
field, his election being urged by
the people of the west as a tribute
to the section that had made the
republican majority in the, Sixty
sixth congress possible.

OUTSIDERS NOT
TO TESTIFY IN
AUTO RING CASE
Two important State Wit
nesseS From Another State
Refuse to Come to
Omaha on Subpoena.

The state rested its case. yester-
day afternoon, after two days of
testimony in the trial of Red" Neal
of Peru, Neb., in district court on
a charge of aiding and abetting
grand larcency.
Two important witnesses on
whom County Attorney Shotwell
had counted for valuable testimony,
refused to come from Missouri to
testify. They are James Clark and
Emmett Clark, the men to whom
William McKenna and L. c. Jones,
automobile thieves and star wit
nesses in the trial Of Neal, declare
stolen Omaha cars were sold.
The two Clarks are outside the
jurisdiction of the district court and
cannot be compelled to testify.
Wanted Only Fords.
L. c. Jones, one of the auto
thieves, testified that after he and
McKenna had taken a second stolen
Car from Omaha to Nebraska City
in alleged accordance with instruc-
tions from "Red" Neal and Maurice
katleman and on the promise of
$3.50 for the car, Neal said he
couldn't use it"
He said the only thing he could
use then was Fords," Jones testi-
fled. He said the only way he
could handle the Oakland we had
stolen and brought down was to
notify the authorities that he had
found it and get a reward. He said
we could run it back to Omaha
Finally, rather than do that we took
$50 for it."
Jones, on question from Meals
attorney, denied that immunity has
been offered him for his testimony
in the case against Neal and Katie
man.
Men Higher Up.
Jones bore out the testimony OF
McKenna that Neal and Katleman
were the "men higher up" and tha.
Jones and McKenna stole automo
biles on the streets f/Omaha and
delivered them, in accordance with
instructions from Neal and Katie
man at the east side of the court
house in Nebraska City and with
the cushions turned up.
A peculiar feature of the gangs
operations is that they centered
around court houses. Two of the
three cars stolen by McKenna and
Jones were taken from in front of
the Douglas county court house.
They were delivered to the east end
of the court house in Nebraska City.
An alleged conference between
Katleman and McKenna and Jones
took place at the southeast corner
of the Douglas county court house
The prosecution had some trouble
in establishing the identity of the
particular car mentioned in the
complaint against Neal. Charles
Pipkin. private detective and insur-
ance adjuster, couldn't remember
the number on the car which he
saw after Detective Henry Haze
had brought it back to Omaha, W.

company said he identified the car
as the one in question, but that it
