Gus Hyers Found
in Big Rubber Boots
Fishing on Dry Land

Lincoln, Neb., May 50.-(Special)
Col. Gus Flyers, state prohibition
chief, has a good nose for locating
booze, but his eye for locating fish
appears to be in need of examina-
ton.
Colonel Gus went out on fishing
trip the other day with Chief Game
Warden Roster and other friends
He had with him all the things
needed to catch fish. When the
party reached a convenient location
in the north part of the state, Gus
got out of the car, pulled on pair
of rubber waders and started out
in quest of fish. Four hours later
he was discovered wandering around
on the prairie three miles from
water and six miles from his base
of supplies with his fish pole over
his shoulder, boots untouched by
water and no fish in sight. He was
reading the following touching poem
which the wind had blown to him
only half hour before:
Thirty miles from Nlobrara,
Cross the sandhils and the prairie.
Seven sports went out a-fishing
For the famous, festive trout.
Up On Apple creek they landed
Grabbed their tackle and disbanded;
Whipped the stream for speckled beauties;
Now and then pulled big ones out.
With them was a gent named Hyers;
Name that evry day inspires
Terror to the hearts of geezers
Who persist in selling booze.
In defense of prohibition
He's a bear, but this ere fishin' -----&
Gets his goat, because directions,
Like the big ones. he will lose.
Down the winding stream Gus wandered,
Missed the creek and then mea ndered
Cross the praries, in his waders,
And was found two miles away;
From the creek where trout were
swimmin'
Who returned him to his comrades
Just before his hair turned gray

AUSTR|ANS TO

ATN00N MONDAY
Small Powers Make Reserva.
lions on Reparation Clauses;
Wilson Delivers Con-
Ci|iatory Speech.

Paris, May 31.-The plenary ses-
sion of the peace conference this
afternoon decided to present the
reace treaty to the Austrians at
noon Monday. The small powers
made reservations on the financial
and reparations clauses.
The session was held in the for
eign office and was largely attended.
1t developed a spirited discussion.
Premier Bratiano of Rumania, NJ.
Trumbitch of Serbia, Premier Veni-
zelos of Greece and the Czecho-
Slovak delegation presented rescr-
vations on the financial and repara-
tons terms.
M. Clemenceau replied, chiefly on
the criticism regarding lack of time.
pointing out that more time had
been granted than was originally
asked.
President Wilson also made a
conciliatory speech urging that the
great powers had borne the chief
responsibilities and had carefully
considered the interests of the small
powers.
The rights of the minorities on
questions of race, language and re-
ligion were objected to by the
small powers, which maintained that
this was an infringement of their
sovereignty. NJ Clemenceau as
sured them that this would be con-
sidered by the council of four be-
fore the treaty was presented, and
an agreement thereupon was
reached to proceed with the presen-
tation of the treaty Monday, except
ing the financial and reparations
sections, and perhaps the military
section, which may be further re-

at Grand Island and told him to
go home without reporting the mt
ter to the police. He did"
