SPLIT IN STATE
MEETING FAILS
T0MATERIAL|zE
Selection of Robert Devoe as
Committee Chairman Sat-
isfaCtory to Majority OF
Those Concerned.

Lincoln, June 1.-THE big split
in the republican state committee
meeting" as heralded by a local
democratic paper Tuesday afternoon
when the state committee was meet
ing at the Lindell hotel for the pur-
pose of selecting a state chairman
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of E. D. Beach, who has
carried the honors through two
campaigns, did not materialize and
those who were waiting and hoping
for such a thing are sadly disap-
pointed.
The selection of Robert w. Devoe
as chairman of the committee ap-
pears to suit everybody but those
who wanted to see trouble, and if a
unanimous choice of the commit
tee can be called a split" then the
committee was badly broken up, for
never in the history of the state
committee has there been more uni
versal satisfaction over what at first
appeared to be a fight, than the Sc
lection of Mr.. Devoe.
Corrick Declined.
The name of F. P. Corrick was
not presented to the meeting at the
request of Mr.. Corrick himself, al
though there were several members
of the committee and many of the
state officers, who would have liked
to have seen Mr.. Corrick made
chairman. There was a large senti-
ment among those who favored De
voc for chairman that Corrick should
take the secretaryship, but the latter
has had plans in view for some time
that he preferred to take up which
he will now be at liberty to accept.
However he was willing to accept
the craftsmanship if there appeared
to be a lcall for him to do so. As
soon as he discovered yesterday
that Devoe appeared to be strong

NEBRASKA Man
FAv0RS LICENSE
ON ALL POTASH
W. E. Richardson Thinks Tar.
if System Would Cost
Farmers More; Should
Have Quick Action.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Washington, June ll.-W. E.
Richardson, who is interested in a
large potash plant at Lakeside,
Neb.. and representing the Nebras-
ka potash producers before the
ways and means copmittee, COM
pleted his statement begun Tues
day before that committee.
Mr.. Richardson declared himself
unreservedly in favor of the licens-
ing as against the direct tariff sys-
tenn because" he said, 1T would cost
the farmers less under the former
than under the latter system" He
said that 90 per cent of all potash
goes into fertilizer and that Is per
cent of that fertilizer is manufac-
tured by six concerns in this coun-
try, all large and powerful with
big capital behind them"
These FIRMS said the Nebraska
man are in a position to report
quickly as cheap a price as can be
procured and unless we get speedy
relief these large users of potash
may import or arrange for importa-
ton of 100000 tons of potash which
will spell ruin for the domestic pro-
ducers of potash"
Mr.. Richardson gave it as his
opinion that the domestic potash
producers and the Nebraska field
produces Is per cent of the potash
in the country at this time. 1t could
furnish potash at $3.50 unit for the
next two years and break even.
In aswer to question of Chair
man Fordney, he said that repre-
scented $3.50 ton.
1--WE believe that in order to pro-
tect the domestic potash industry
we would need at least a duty of
$3.50 per unit"
Judge Kinkaid is of the opinion
that a majority of the ways and
means committee look with favor on
the licensing system, which also has
the endorsement or DR.. White of
the bureau of mines.

bers of the committee he told his
friends not to announce his name
and when the time came for a Sc
lection the name of Mr.. Devote was
the only one considered.
Result Satisfactory.
The result of the work Of the
state committee is perfectly salts
factory to me-" said Mr.. Corrick to
The Bee correspondent. 1T was a
question to me whether l really
ought to take it or not because
of other plans, but OF course if the
sentiment favored me, was willing
to give up those plans"
Robert w. Devoe represents the
progressive element in the repub-
lican party and is exceedingly
strong with all republicans. His
address before the republican state
convention last year made so strong
an impression that National Chair
man Will Hays, who was present,
at once suggested its use as cam
paign document, and it was used
extensively during the campaign by
the national committee. Mr.. Devoe
is a live wire, and while there was
some fear that he might not accept,
it was understood at the meeting
that he was willing to take hold if
the committee so desired.
Mr.. Devoe is out of the state and
may not return until some time
next week, and, therefore, the selec-
ton of secretary will be left until
he makes his choice upon his re-
turn, as the state committee gave
him full power to not only select
his secretary, but new executive
committee if he desired to make
change.

A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac.
uum process for condensing milk
with cane sugar to semi-fluid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis,
discovered how to reduce milk to a
dry powder form with extract Of
matted grains, without cane sugar.
This product HORLICK named
Matted Milk. Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and
the fact that it keeps in any climate
has proved of much value to man
kind as an ideal food-drink from
infancy to old age.

WANTS MARSH Land
SUBJECT TO TAX.
Mr.. Robertson Tells Council
He viii Keep Up Fight
for New Law
NO OCCASION FOR
TROUBLE, HE. SAYS

That he Is determined TO have re-
pealed the law exempiing from TAXA
tion marsh lands TO the southeast or
this city despite The failure Of bill,
framed with this purpose In view, 10
pass the House al The recent session of
The LEGISLATURE, was set out by state
senator and Councilman James =. Rob
erlson at the meeting Of City Council
last night
Purchasers OF the lgnd q number Of
years ago secured the passage Of a bill
exempling the land from taxstion.
Prior TO the last session of the Legis-
lolure. Council approved a bin repeal
ing this law. The bill passed the SEN
ate. but was killed In The House.
Mr. Robertson held that marsh land
owners are receiving riches unjustly.
A man who receives wealth by escap-
ing what he imposes on others is re-
ceiving his wealth uniustly, he de-
clared lie "rung In" his definition Of
Bolshevists as those who set their
clocks back in the morning so as 70
get 10 work later, and set their clocks
ahead I'm the afternoon in order TO get
away from work sooner.
ANY man who escapes or tries TO
escape the burden Of taxation is invit-
ing trouble" declared The Fifth ward
Councilman, "and the only way 20 avoid
that trouble is TO come out and meet
The taxation fairly and squarely.'
The marsh land is not only finan-
cially non-productive 90 the city, but
is a menace TO the health Of the city.
Mr.. Robertson said. Drainage would
remedy its conditions, he held, and re-
ferred 10 the remarkable changes
wrought in the Panama Canal zone by
drainage. The zone was one Of the
most unhealthy spots in the world be
fore Colonel G0ethals started TO work
on 1t, he said but after he had finished,
it was one Of the most healthy places
in the world.
Mr.. Robertson urged that the land
owners be made TO pay tax that the
health Of the city might be main
tained.
.We are not going to have any trou-
bic about a." Mr.. Robertson stated. He
said that the owners would be given to
understand in a quiet way that they
must pay their share, and II they are
unwilling TO do so, the matter viii be
taken TO the Legislature again two
years hence. The Board Of Assessment,
ne said. had placed the lands on their
books for taxation.

for an attempted automobile hold-up
outside Of Milford.
Miss Annie Mullin, in her car with
two other women friends. was driving
along the road from Glendale 20 Mil

a gunshOt. The women thought az
first a tire had blown out. Then
Hornbach appeared with a shotgun in
his hands. They were ready 10 throw
up their hands when HOrnbach walked
up 20 the car and stated that he was
afraid he had made a mistake and
wanted them to shake hands and forget

and swere out a warrant which re-
suited in EIornbach being held for high
way robbery.
