STATE AGENTS
DEFEND ACTS IN
LIQUOR RAIDS
Governor May Not Come to
Omaha to Probe Affair at
Willard When Citizens
Defied Officers.

Governor McKelvie may not come
to Omaha to personally investigate
the acts of state liquor agents at
Willard, Neb., where armed citizens
held officers at bay with rifles, shot
guns and reviewers and defied them
to make further search for contra
band.
In fact, Yale c. Holland, special
prosecutor for the state in the liquor
cases, declares he made no state
ment the governor would come to
Omaha as a result of the Millard
near-riot in which bloodshed was
narrowly averted.
Friday afternoon citizens of the
town armed themselves with re-
volvers and shotguns and defied the
officers to proceed with further
searches.
Search for Liquor.
The squad was composed OF Of
fcers T. c. Smith, Smouthers,
Brock. Burns and Deputy Sheriff
Cherek. They were conducting
searches at Willard for contraband
liquor.
Mr.. Holland states he has investi-
gated the Willard case, and that he
is satisfied that these representatives
of the law acted fully and fairly
within the law in this affair.
His summary of the case follows:
THE stage agents told me that they
had received information that a lot
of liquor was being shipped into
Willard in a carload of hay from
Wyoming, consigned to Merinas
Nelson. and they were told that
liquor was being sold in a garage
operated by Thompson. Nelson
rooms at the home of Mr.. Andree-
sen, so we had a search warrant
made out to cover the garage, Mel
sons home, Andreesen's house and
a tractor, all being on the same tract
of land.
ION Thursday night the officers
went out to Willard and found no
body at the ANDERSEN house, and
they were told that Neisln was at
the Willard Commercial club rooms.
At the club they found Peter Mel
son, brother of Merinas. They did
not search the Commercial club, nor
any of the clothes at the club, they
informed me.
Says Found Whisky.
81 also was told that Peter Mel
son took them over to the Andrees-
sen house and that they found a
case of whisky in Merinas Nelson's
room, They waited until 3 a. m.
for the return of Nelson. On Fri
day they went back to Willard in
search of Nelson, whom they loca-
ted at a garage, where he had gone
on account of fiat tire.
In explanation of the posting of
the search warrant on the door |
will state that this is expressly re-
CURED by law in cases where liquor |
is taken out of premises where !
owner or claimant is not found at |
the time Of such confiscation. As
for posing as soldiers in uniform,
some of the state agents are re-
turned soldiers who are still wear
ing their uniforms according to the
regulations"
Lieutenant Smullins and Sergeant !
Burns, who were in the squad which |
visited Willard on Thursday night, |
vigorously deny any improper ac-
tons on the part of the state agents. |
They state that the card game at |
the Commercial club did not even |
stop when they entered and that |
Peter Nelson accompanied them to |
the ANDERSEN house quite willingly. |

The report charges Secretary OF

The land in question comprised
1870 acres. The purchase price

MERGE was $8l 500 or approximately
$3.50 an acre. Mr.. Johnson said
that shortly before the purchase the
owners had told the assessors they
would take $3.50 an acre for it. He
attacked Secretary Redheld for APP
proving and accepting responsibility
for a deal involving such a large
sum of money which was made BY
subordinates without proper investi-
cation.
There can be no question" says
the report, that Mr.. Red6eld paid
anywhere from $4,000 (S32,000
plus $4,000 to $47,500 more for the

PRESIDENT WRITES
WITH EITHER HAND
Neuritis From Signing Many
Documents Leads Him to
Train His Left.
President wilson is ambidextrous.

President Wilson Is ambidextrous
In addition to his many other
unusual accomplishments, the Presl-
dent of the United States has
patiently acquired the ability to use.
with equal facility. his right or left
hand in signing his name.
The authority for this statement is
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, U
s. N, personal friend and physician
to the President. Why the Presi-
dent determined to become ambidex-
trail is a short but interesting story,
and shows in a new light the pains
taking seriousness with which Wood
row Wilson regards his job as the
head of this great Republic. Here
1t is:
Roughly speaking. Mr. Wilson
signs his name to $4,000 public docu-
ments yearly. In addition. he auto
graphs thousands of Photographic ETC.,
at the request of admirers and souve-
mir Solicitors, besides attending to his
personal correspondence. which is
enormous. During the war. this sign
ing process was augmented by thou
sands of commissions for the army
and navy. Mr.. Wilson is punctilious
about his signature. He never
Sights it, and prides himself on the
neatness of his work
AS the burden of his autographing
grew during his continuance in Of
fee, Mr.. Wilson began to notice sharp
pains attacking his right hand, fol-
lowing a long session with his pen.
Eventually he took the matter up
with DR.. Grayson. who diagnosed his
trouble as neuritis and advised fire.
quent resting spells. Postponement
of work laid before him is the one
thing that openly chafes the Presi-
dent and causes irritation in his
otherwise extremely serene personal
ity. So, unknown to his doctor friend,
he commenced to practice writing
with his left hand.
With the facility which is one of
the Presidents characteristics in
handling all problems, large and
small he was soon able to satisfy
himself that he could do as equally a
neat job of his name with his left
hand as with his right, and the next
time DR.. Grayson advised him to quit
because of neuritis, the President as
happily as a child with a new toy,
displayed his new accomplishment.
President Wilson retains this abil-
ity even in his present serious illness,
and recently signed pardons for six
men confined in Federal prisons, with
an indelible pencil held by his good
left hand.
