Bluffs Aviator to
Give Farewell Flight
at Manawa Golf Links

Lieut.. A. J. Nielsen will give an
airplane exhibition over Council
Bluffs this afternoon unless storm
conditions prevent flying. His Can
ada Curtiss plane, wrecked when he
made an unfortunate landing in
Omaha, has been fully repaired and
was tuned up yesterday afternoon.
He will begin his stunts about )
O'Clock.
The start and finish will be at the
golf links at Lake Manawa, this be-
ing the only available and safe land
ing field Lieutenant Nielsen will
carry passenger on each of his
flights, one of whom is expected
to be Mayor Zurmuehlen, who has
agreed to looping loops. ICONS, tail
spins and nose dives. He only m
sists on extra strong straps and no

This will be Lieutenant Nielsen's
farewell flight in Council Bluffs.
He will begin at once his big chau-

Mr.. Zimman's speech was inter

Refused to Hear Butler.
Commissioner Butler was on his
feet claiming the right to be heard
as soon as Mr.. Zimman took his
seat. Mr.. Ringer renewed his
shouts of protest and the mayor re-
fused absolutely to allow Commits
sioner Butler to speak.
II thought at one time the mayor
had outgrown his steamroller meth
ods," Mr.. Butler declared. II was
mistaken"
Before the council adjourned Mr..
Butler succeeded in offering two
resolutions. They were laid over
until the council meets next Tues
day. One of the resolutions asked
for hearing of the case Wednesday
morning and suggested that Mrs.
Browns deposition be accepted.
The other resolution declared that
since the mayor in his statement
made serious accusations against
certain members of the police de-
partment, and that these officers still
are exercising full authority as po-
lice officers, that Captain Heitfeldt
and Detectives Herdzina and Arm
strong be suspended pending an in
vestigation.

solved; CIemenceau Re-
fuses to Agree to Modifi-
cation of Terms. y

Paris, June 10.-The council OF
four met today amid an atmosphere
of considerable pessimism over the
larger questions of peace-making
with Germany still unsolved. 1t is
understood that Premier Clemen-
ceau has not moved from his posi-
ton against any modification of the
peace terms.
No settlement of the Silesian
question or that concerning the
Polish western frontier has been
reached. 1t is stated that the Sile-
sian problem is tied up with the
difficulty of holding a plebiscite
without allied occupation, no troops
being available for the purpose.
Secretary Lansing has received
cabled copies of the United States
senate resolutions asking for the
text of the German treaty and re-
euesting a hearing before the peace
conference for Edward De Valera
and the other Irish delegates. Sec
rotary Lansing has referred the res
olutions to President Wilson.
Signing Predicted.
Signing of the treaty before July
| aud its ratification by the
various parliaments before August
l is predicted today by the Echo
de Pasis. 1t expects the answer to
the German counter proposals to be
handed over probably on Friday.
The course of the Germans, it
thinks, will be to replace the
Scheidemann government by an
other in case the present govern
ment determines not to sign the
terms as the allies finally present
them.
The plan for reparations which
now is proposed in the council of
four, according to the same paper,
consists, first, in seizing German
liquid assets to the value of 25,000,-
100000 francs; second, to leave a
margin of two years so that an &C
curate idea of the economic and
financial situation in Germany may
be gained; third, after two years to
exact payment on account of 1885,
000,000000 francs in gold or nego-
table securities, and fourth, to give
the reparations commission author
ity to raise the amount of the an
nual paymets by Germany. should

Three Topics of Interest.
In comment on the treaty text
put into the record after long fight
Monday, by Senator Borah, repub-
lican, of Idaho, there were three
topics about which interest conferred
They were the provisions affecting
Shantung and the Saar valley, and
the section providing for an inter
national labor control. Several sem
ators opposing the treaty said the
text revealed that the right of self
determination in Shantung and the
Saar had been more closely cur
tailed than had been apparent here
tofore, and that the international la
bor section went much further than
they had expected
All of these sections are expected
to be discussed in the senate in the
near future. Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, of Montana, a league of ma
tons supporter, gave notice during
the day of his intention to speak to-
morrow on this subject, and his adj
dress may bring on another debate
involving other treaty provisions.

Congress Acts Quickly
on, Eve of Biq Strike

Washington, June 10.-On the
eve of the nationwide telegraphers'
strike, both bodies Of congress acted
to end quickly government control
of the country's wire systems.
The senate passed unanimously
the bill for repeal forthwith" of the
law authorizing federal jurisdiction
over telegraph, telephone, cable and
radio lines, while the house inter
state commence committee agreed
to report ending government wire
control June so next.
No move was made today by the
Postoffice department touching the
Situation, and officials said that none
would be made, the return of wire
operations having left the situation
to the handling of private manage
ments. At the same time, officials
lately responsible for the conduct of
the telegraph systems were inclined
to discount the possibility that COM
munications would seriously ham
pered by the strike of telegraph OPP
orators. The threatened walkout
of electrical workers was said to
have more serious possibilities.
The senate in adopting the repeal
bill approved all amendment to con-
tinue present telephone rates 60
days or untilthe tariffs can be al
justed by state commissions.
Democratic and republican sera-
tors joined in support of the rep cal
bill, of which Senator Kellogg, re-
publican, of Minnesota, is the author
and also in criticism of the taking
over of the wires and the results of
government operation. Debate in
the senate was brief and the bill was
passed without a record vote. 1t now

adopted:
I'VE. the members of the re-
publican state committee in
meeting assembled at Lincoln,
Neb., on this 10th day of June,
1919, hereby adopt, unanimously,
the following resolutions:
/. We take this opportunity of
congratulating the congress
Of the United States on the start
it has already made toward far
sighted legislation designed to Inn
prove better living conditions dur
ing the reconstruction period up
on which we are now entering.
We heartily approve of the pas
sage by the republican house, and
senate of the law extending uni
versal suffrage to the women of
our country through an amend
ment to the constitution to be sub
mitted for ratification by the vari-
Gus states, and with view to
expediting its contamination we
favor early action by our state.
2. We are glad to see that the
republican national committee,
taking advantage of the rapidly
expanding movement toward uni
versal suffrage for women, has al
ready invited the new voters to
the fullest co-op3ration i'll the
management of the republican
party throughout the country.
Favor Liberal Treatment.
3. We strongly favor a liberal
treatment by congress, the ma
tional administration, and our
state administration of the re-
turning soldiers, sailors, and all
others, both men and women,
who have so gloriously upheld
our country's honor and to whom
we feel deep debt of gratitude.
4. We view with pride the
splendid record made by Cover
nor Samuel R. Mckelvie, his as
sociates, and the legislature of
1919, which acted with judgment,
sagacity and moderation. Their
aggressive efforts to enact into
legislation the various planks of
the republican party in the state
are strongly commended by us.
5. The republican party, which
has always been a party of prog
ress in this state. as we'll as in
the nation, strongly urges the ell
actment of new constitution
suited to the needs of the rapidly
growing demands of this new
country and the problems which
have been thrust upon us as a
result of the world war. We ad-
wise that the voters of this state
should give careful consideration
to the selection of delegates to
the constitutional convention with
a view to their being true repre-
sentatives of all the people in
the state.

Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. which is
in session at Atlantic City:
"The commercial telegraphers of
the United States will strike tomor-
row for the fundamental rights to
organize into trade unions and to
bargain collectively. The attitude
of the wire administration under
Burleson and his restoring President
Carlton to control of the Western
Union for the purpose of destroy
ing us makes this strike inevitable.
You are aware of the promises
made to US by the government
You know how they were violated.
Mediation, councilation and arbitrs-
ton have not been available for us,
because the employers doubt our
strength. But l feel confident We
will surprise the nation by tomor-
rows response.
Asks Help of Convention.
II earnestly ask the convention
now in session to take some action
to help US destroy the worst labor
autocracy this country has ever
known"
1t was announced that Montgom-

Telegraph company today signed the
new agreement, thus ending a strike
of between $50 and 200 workers
