conference committee report ON II.
R. 246, the Byrum bill. prohibiting
the use of foreign languages in
courses of instruction in the pa
rochial schools.
The senate's action puts an end
to one of the bitterest fights of the
session, as the house had already
adopted the conferee's report. The
bill now goes to the governor for
his signature. Sears and Tanner OF
Omaha were the only members in
the senate to vote against the re-
port.
Governor McKelvie introduced
two bills in the senate, one of which
smooths out the tangle, in allowing
the soldiers to vote for delegates
for the constitutional convention.
Under the old soldier voting law,
months time was allowed for
the return of the ballots after cleo
ton day. The convention is to as
semble December 2, while the cleo
ton is held November 3. The bill
cuts down the time for the return OF
the ballots to two weeks.
S. F. No. 263, the second bill,
gives the governor power to ap-
point any number of persons to as
sist in enforcing the law covering
the theft, purchase or concealing of
stolen automobiles. 1t also EN-
powers county officers to call on
the governor to furnish officers to
enforce prohibition.

OVERTHROW RED

Vienna, April 7.-(Havas.)-The

The reports do not say whether

or the bourgeoisc parties.
Oppose Soviet.
Nuremberg, Bavaria, April d
(Via Copenhagen.)-The Bavarian
national conference of social
democrats here has voted, AZ to 8,
against the introduction of a soviet
republic in Bavaria.
Peasants Menace Munich.
Berlin, April 7.-(By Associated
ress)-There has been no definite
news here concerning the situation
in Munich since the reports were re-
ceived of the early exciting occur
rences. From such news as has
reached Berlin, however, it seems
probable that a soviet government
has not yet been proclaimed in any
way that can be regarded as Of
fetal or binding.
The proponents of the plan met
with strong opposition in two quar-
tiers. The Bavarion Diet, it is true,
can hardly meet Tuesday, as had
been the program, because it is not
assured of the support Of the troops
in Munich (who were reported in
Munich dispatches Saturday to have
expressed sympathy with the soviet
cause, but to have declared their
intention to maintain neutrality, al
though they would not protect the
building, which is armed with ma
chine guns).
The proponents of the soviet idea,
however, met with great opposition
on the part of the bourgeoisie, on
the one hand, and the peasants on
the other hand. The peasants hold
the trump card in their control of
the supply of foodstuffs, which they
have declared they would refuse to
deliver in case soviet government
were proclaimed.

HOUSE WOULD CUT
DOWN power Of
One STATE BOARD
BY Stout's Amendment Board
Of Equalization Will Not
0verturn Valuations Placed
on Property by Officials.
From 4 Staff Correspondents.

Lincoln, Neb., April 7.--Represen-
tative Mclaughlin was indicated in
the house when a necessary amend
ment to which he called attention
Saturday. and which met with con-
siderable opposition then, was adopt
ed Monday morning. f..
Saturday Mclaughlin stated that
the section of the code relating to
the State Board OF Equalization was
so broad that it empowered that
body to send one of its janitors to
any county in the state and there
overturn any valuations the local
boards of assessment would make
on real and personal property. He
contended that the provisions of
the section of the code dealing with
this feature was altogether too dan
gerous.
Monday morning, recognizing the
truth of the Mclaughlin statement,
Representative Stout introduced an
amendment curing the defect and
which limits the State Board of
Equalization going under the local
boards with mandatory powers to
arbitrarily revise valuations.
Amendments to Code Bill.
In the afternoon amendments
were made to the code bill which

and registration of dental surgeons
as passed in 1918 and 1915, were

in the printed bill.
During the consideration of the
code bill Representative Purcell
arising to a question of person priv
lege, asked that the house not con-
slider House Rolls $40 and Sill, bills
relating to the State Board OF
Agriculture, and charging its
powers, by the creation of the Of
flee of deputy commissioner OF
agriculture, with a salary of $500
a year, in connection with the code
He explained that the bill was in
troduced at the request of the State
Board of Agriculture, a nonpartisap
body, and he understood the code
bill to be partisan measure, pledged
by the republican platform.
Act on Soldier Settlement Bill.
The consideration OF the code bill
was the special order, but when
Representative Ellis Good moved
that consideration of House Roll
$685. the soldiers settlement bill, in
troduced by the governor, be taken
up, there was faint objection to the
interruption.
He explained that if the bill were
to pass this week, it would have to
be sent back to the senate imme-
diately, adding that the bill was one
which. would permit the state of
Nebraska to cooperate with the fed
eral government, other states of the
union, and with corporate and pri-
vate enterprises to reclaim lands, by
irrigation or drainage, and to en-
bark in such enterprises as would
enable the returned soldiers tc set
tie on lands and to obtain employ
ment.
The motion to engross for third
reading was voted upon unanimous
ly. The bill carries an appropriation
of $4,000.

HAS DEMPSEY
QUIT JOB OR NOT?
THAT'SQ QUESTION

1918. Eberstein had been in the
United States secret service and had
not been identified with the Omaha
police department. Eberstein's ap-
pointment by the city council was
not unanimous. There were many
expressions that Dempsey's long ex-
perience in the department should
have warranted his retention as chief
of police regardless of a new ad-
ministration in the city hall.
When Eberstein was chosen by
Ringe-. Dempsey was put back as
assistant chief, in which position he
had formerly served eight months.
Ringer explained that he wanted
Dempsey to serve as assistant chief
until he should have held that po-
sition one year and thus be eligible
for the retirement pension Of that
rank.
Dempsey's Official Record.
II expected Dempsey would have
retired last February l." was the
only way in which Ringer would
commit himself on the subject yes
friday.
Dempsey was appointed as patrol
man July %, 1887 and was promoted
to the position of sergeant April l.,
1901; captain, November IS, 1910;
assistant chief, July 70, 1917; chief,
April /, 1918; assistant chief again,
Octobr 1, 1918. Since last October
Dempsey has been working in Chief
Eberstein's office. His work has
been as utility man without any
well-dehned duties.

REAR ADMIRAL
SIMS TELLS OF
SECRET VOYAGE

Noa'i""e" Hr'' "s' o"''

Sail From New York.

thats now l seem TO remember
them"
Sail From New York.
The admiral and his aide sailee
from the port of New York March
26, 1917, on the steamship New Yorl
he said. No one on the vessel rec
ognized them, and they passed the
time as ordinary voyagers without
feeling any unusual fear OF theii
identities being revealed.
News of the declaration of war by
the United States on April 6 reached
them by the ships wireless news
service. 1t did not disturb them.
Entering Liverpool harbor on
April 9, in a thick mist the steamer
struck a mine and hole was blown
in one of her forward compart-
ments, but the admiral and his aide
were mot especially disturbed by
that, either.
There was no reception commit
tee to meet them at the docks in
Liverpool, Admiral Sims said. They
went ashore unnoticed, like any
body else" A special train was
waiting in the Liverpool railroad
yards, however, with Admiral Hope
aboard, representing the British ad-
miralty.
Arrive in London.
They arrived in London on April
10, both Admiral Sims and Com
mander Babcock still wearing their
civilian clothes. They went at once
to the admiralty office, where Ad-
miral Sims went into conference
with Admiral Jellicoe.
On April 13, at a luncheon in
London, the U. S. ambassador made
the formal announcement that Ad-
miral Sims had arrived in the coun-
try. After that the admiral and his
aide reappeared in their navy uni
forms and abandoned the names of
Richardson and Robertson" for all
time.
Commenting on chow he hap
pened to be" the officer selected to
60 abroad, Admiral Sims said:
II was the logical selection for a
number of reasons. l had been
naval attache at Paris from 1897 to
1900. | speak the French language.
| had been to England about every
winter from 1902 to 1909 to talk gun
merry with British admiralty chiefs
like Admiral Jellicoe and Admiral
Scott. l knew the British and
French naval heads. And for three
years I had been in command of the
Atlantic torpedo flotilla on this
side"
Germany was winning the war, the
rear admiral stated. when he arrived
in England the day after the United
States became a belligerent. Teu-
ton interference with the allied
shipping he added, was a serious
problem, solved only when confer
ences of the British, American and
allied commands worked out and
put into practice the system of pro-
tecting the vital ships which pre-
vailed until the cessation of hostil-
tiles.

When Ringer came in recently
with the new police salary ordinance
with provision for an inspector of
police and without reference to an
assistant chief of police, there was
comment as to the motive. Sub
sequently that feature was changed
by substituting assistant chief for
inspector in the ordinance.

President To Visit Kansas
Upon Return to q. s.
Object Is To Tear Down League
of Nations Opposition.
WICHITA WANTS HIS DATE
Democratic Leaders Are Fight
ing Stop in Topeka.
Effort May Be Made To Build
Fire Under Capper.

President Wilson is coming to Kan
sas for league of nations speech fol-
lowing his return from the peace con-
ference. He will speak in Topeka or
Wiehita-probahly Wichita, since the
Democrat organization is demanding
the meeting in the one remaining
Bourbon congressional district.
The committee in charge of the
presidential trip has decided to route
the train thru Kansas and to provide
for least one speech in the state. 1t
is probable that a speech will be de-
livered in Kansas City, the president
entering Kansas Kansas City
after a speech ',is Dates for
the meetin,, been deter
mined. II tho. that the
president he swing into
the middle time in July.
Sim 1914 Trip.
President y t4,un's visit to Kansas
will be similar to his trip to the state
in February, 1914, when he came 10
Topeka with his preparedness speech
At that time Kansas was dead set
against preparedness. Governor cap
per's introduction of the president ex-
pressed open opposition to the cause
of preparedness, but urged that the
nations executive be given respect
full hearing. And from that day until
Kansas lined up for preparedness and
war, Governor Capper fought the
presidents recommendations.
Now the Washington dope indicates
that President Wilson is coming to
Kansas to build a fire under Senator
Capper. The Washington dope sheet
puts the junior Kansas senator on the
wa billing list-he is neither positively
for nor positively against.
1t is the purpose of the organization
in charge of the trip to cement Kan
sas sentiment until it is read and
understood in official Washington.
Them it is believed, the administra-
ton will check in with the vote of the
new senator from Kansas.
Tear Down Opposition.
Another motive behind the presi-
dents invasion of Kansas is the desire
to tear down the opposition to the
league which was aroused by Senator
Borah of Idaho in his recent trip. The
plan to follow Borah, it is believed,
might give Kansas two speeches by
the president instead of one. Senator
Borah spoke in Topeka and Wichita.
Washington advices assure Kansas
that the president will speak in at
least one of these cities.
Congressman w. A. Ayres, the only
remaining Democrat congressman
from Kansas. is pulling for Wichita
the center of the Eighth district
Wichita is also supported by Jouett
Shouse, assistant secretary of the
treasury; Sam Amidon, national COM
mitteeman, and Dan Callahan, head of
the federal farm loan bank. On the
basis of support which spells influ-
ence with the powers in Washington.
it is apparent. that Wichita has the in
side track.
