Nebraska City. Neb,, Jan. o.
Especial Telegram. )-Early today
four cars passed over the Burling-
ton wagon bridge here. throwing
the toll money to the keeper as
they went by. Officers stationed on
the bridge tried to stop them, sus-
pecting they had loads of whisky,

high and the officers were forced to
let them pass. As the last car was
passing the officers found them
selves covered by a gun in the
hands of one of the occupants of
the car. The man jumped out and
made his escape, although the off,
GERS fired at him repeatedly.

matte strength of the delegation.
Louis Klotz, besides being minister
of finance, is recognized as the hnan-
cial leader of the French Parlia-
nient. Captain Tardieu furnishes
the economic authority and is ia
miliar with both French and Amer
lean economic conditions. .
French Protocol Submitted.
A French protocol, proposing the
exact procedure of the congress.
was submitted to the American
delegation at about the same time
that the French delegates were
named. 1t is now being studied and
il is noted by the American dele
gates that number of their sug-
gestionS have taken form in the
French program. The protocol deals
with the organization of the con-
gress, the representation of the
great and small powers and the gen.
eral order of procedure. 1t will
not become effective until passed
upon by President Wilson and the
premiers of France, Great Britain,
Italy, who constitute a sort of ex-
ecutive council, which later will
grow into supreme council of the
great powers when the full delega-
tons are appointed.
The conferences today showed a
growing driving power. In addi-
ton to the conferences that Presi-
dent Wilson had with Premier Or
lando and Foreign Minister Son
nino and Others, Premier Clemen-
ceau spent some time at American
headquarters and was followed
there later by Premier Venizelos of
Greece. Premier Venizelos has
presented a written memorandum of
Greek aspirations and is supple
menting it with vigorous personal
representation,
At the same time Secretary Lans-
ing, Colonel House and Lord Robert
Cecil continued their conferences on
the subject of a league of nations.
The conferences are said to be rap
idly giving precise form to the
project
While the delay in the arrival in
Paris of Premier Lloyd George may
postpone the gathering of President
Wilson and the entente premiers
and the opening session of the inter
allied conference, the conferences
going on and the appointment of a
delegation by one of the great pow
ers are giving the peace congress
the aspect of an active organiza-
ton.
