mirably in the work of raising $685.
600, its share of the money required
for the construction of the all steel

George Davis, N. A. Phelps, A.
L. Anderson, Joseph Bradenberg
and A. J. Brodahl, Wahoo, and R.
H. Parks, Yutan, of the Saunders
county bridge committee, met at
noon yesterday with the executive
committee, of the Omaha Chamber
of Commerce and reported progress.
Members of the committe reported
that they had every reason to be-
lieve that the $35,000 would be
raised within the next 10 days. The
farmers of the county, as we'll as
the bushes men of Wahoo and
Yutan, they said, were enthusiastic
over the bridge proposition and that
generally they were subscribing to
the fund.

Tenth District Expected to
Take $2O,0OO,O0O Notes

Of the $50O,O0O,0OO United States
short time treasury certificates the
Tenth district federal reserve bank
of Kansas City and its branches in
Omaha and Denver are expected to
take about $2O,OOO00O of the paper.
Already the Omaha banks have ap-
piled for 100000 of the certi-
fcates. 1t is expected that this sum
will be at least doubled by addi-
tional applications from Omaha
banks and those from the country.
The certificates run FIVE months,
draw interest at the rate of "A per
cent and are issued in denomina-
tons Of $500 and $1,000 each.
No allotment is made to any Of
the branch banks in the district or
any of the other reserve districts.
As a result, when an application is
filed with the Omaha branch for the
purchase of certificates, the order
is sent to the reserve bank at Kan
sas City, where it is filled.

Another Riot Caused.
The riot at the hospital was pre-
cipitated by another at State and
Thirty-fifth streets, where two
white men and one negro were
killed, and approximately sc
negroes wounded in a battle that
followed a collision of an automo.

lings that God had given her. So
far as am concerned, and so far as
my party is concerned, you will find
us fighting by the lady in the calico
dress"
Congressman Reavis having laid
the foundation for the development
of an intimate history of the Wa de-
partment and the food supply as it
relates to the high cost of living,
Representative Jefferis, in his
maiden speech toward the close of
day of bitter partisan debate, took
the democrats into camp by produc-
ing first-hand evidence of the
charges that canned salmon in gov
eminent warehouse in Omaha was
reported unfit for food, when, as a
matter of fact, it was reported
wholesome and merchantable by rep
resentatives of three of the largest
wholesale grocers in Omaha.
M. B. Newman, president of the
Newman Brokerage company, who
was accorded permission by Quar-
termaster General Rogers to in
vestigate the government-owned
salmon in storage in Omaha, tele-
graphed Congressman Jeffris as fol-
lows.
"The sender in company with Mr..
Hughes of Hughes company, Mr..
Keoth of Paxton & Gallagher and
Mr.. Murphy of McCord- Brady, in
spected salmon and found the same
wholesome, good and fit for food.
The above wholesale grocers
offer the government $40 per case
on all red salmon, $3.50 per case on
all pink salmon at Omaha govern
ment warehouse net cash. This
offer good only for immediate &C
ceptance and immediate delivery.
Omaha is entirely out of salmon.
Wholesale grocers can distribute
right now to advantage at the same
time relieve the food shortage. We
understand the above prices are
considerable in excess of what the
government paid packers. The very
fact that three of the largest whole
sale grocers in Omaha are willing
to buy this salmon is conclusive
proof and evidence the salmon i.
absolutely merchantable. Examina
ton shows about 100000 cans OF
pink salmon, 100000 cans of red
salmon, both grades packed 4S cans
to the case. We understand new
salmon now in transit from Alaska.
We believe it to be the govern
ment's best interest to sell this
salmon Immediately and let the
salmon go into consumption. The
parties bidding on this salmon are
responsible wholesale grocers, not
spectators.
When Mr.. Jefferis had finished
reading, the republican side rose to
him while thunderous applause rang
through the chamber. The demo-
Gratis sat as if they had received a
knockout blow and when the Omaha
congressman, concluding. said: This
attempt to keep foodstuffs from the
people and in the interest of the
Gamers and packers is the greatest
outrage ever perpetrated on a free
people even in the name of democ-
racy," his colleagues showered him
with congra tulations.
And over the whole turbulent
scene "Unc1e Nose" Kincaid pre-
sided as speaker out of respect pos
sibly to Reavis and Jefferis.

Mother and 7 Children
All Burned to Death

Jacksonville, O., July 29.-Several
hours before authorities we're to take
them to the Athens county home,
seven children, ranging in age from
6 weeks to 10 years, were found with
their mother. Mrs. Tony Stravisar,
burned to death or asphyxiated in
their home at Kimberly, a small
mining town near here. The chill
dren were tied to their beds and
coal oil had been sprinkled over the
room.
1t is supposed that worry over the
separation caused the mother to de-
stroy herself and the children.

u. S.-France Treaty
Presented to Senate

can, Minnesota, announced that
while he wanted to see it ratified
he thought reservations necessary.
During the day Senators Hitch
cock, Nebraska. and Swanson, Vir-
ginia, democratic members of the
Foreign Relations committee, talked
over the senate situation with Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House and
invitations were issued asking seven
more republican senators to confer
with the president Wednesday and
Thursday regarding the treaty. SEN
ator Hitchcock described Mr.. Will
son as very we'll satisfied" over the
outlook.
Although most senator's have re-
served judgment on the merits of
the French treaty, it is known that
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
and others are stubbornly opposed to
it. 1t is thought unlikely that there
will be any effort to hasten its con-
sideration, and a vote probably will
not be sought until the Versailles
treaty is out of the way.
The text of the French treaty sub
mitted by President Wilson was the
official copy in English and differed
only slightly in verbiage from the
English translation of the French
text, which was made public by the
French foreign office and cabled to
the United States by the Associated
Press on July 2.
Neither the senate nor the Foreign
Relations committee will meet
Wednesday. Beginning Thursday,
however, the committee expects to
resume daily meetings, hearing
Bradley Palmer, Norman Davis and
F. w. Taussig and possibly some
other advisors on economic provi
sions in addition to Mr.. Baruch.

After he had been in this prison

them that IF a man did right" he
would be treated we'll.
On the strength of this promise
Ryszelewski wrote an article de-
scribing conditions which he entitled

handed it to the commandant. He
said that the next day he was
brought before him and sentenced
to three months solitary confine-
ment, for one month of which he

Denies Severity Charge.
Phoneix, Ariz, July 29.-"General
Strong never told me to treat pris-
oners with ruthless severity, and |
never interpreted my orders from
General Strong to mean that" said
Col F. P. Grinstead. commenting on
charges of Lieut.. Frank H. Smith
before the congressional committee
investigating conditions at army
prison farms in France.
Continuing, in formal statement,
Colonel Grinstead said:
General Strong told me before |
went to Chellas that the disciplinary
problem there was a difficult one
and that I would have to exercise at
all times strictest discipline.
Lieutenant Smith had a most diff
ficult task, arising from congestion
that we were not able to relieve for
some time and l do not think he
used more severe means than were
necessary to control the prisoners.
l do not think prisoners at the farm
Smith commanded were ever beaten.
1--WE were getting over 100 de-
serters or other absentees from the
American army in France every day
and they were a hard lot to handle"
Asked whether he had any orders
from any source that men were to
be treated so they would never
come back to Paris or never pass
through the farms again." as charged
by Smith, Colonel Grinstead said:
II didn't have any of that kind of
orders and didn't give any of that
kind of orders"
Colonel Grinstead said he believed
Smith had been misquoted in regard
to any orders that ruthless sever
ity" was to be employed at the farm.

The Guernsey products are unsur-
passed ia flavor and quality Those
who have once tried them are not sat
isiied with any other. Guernsey pro-
duets have always scored highest in
all competitive trials. No other COW
can produce rich, golden-colored fat
as cheaply as the Guernsey. This is
an appeal to business sense. The
utilization of the feed in producing
cream and butter fat rather than
flesh for the body is characteristic of
the Guernsey.
In all important trials the Guernsey
has shown greater returns for each
dollar invested in feed than any other
breed.
No better working partner in the
dairy business can be found than the
Guernsey.
The Guernsey gives steady produc-
ton and more profit with less feed
than any other breed.
