Elimination Of Big
Packers From Meat
Industry Asked Fol

Washington, March 2. Virtual
elimination of the big packers from
the meat industry and substitution OF
small, local and cooperative stock
yards and slaughter houses was sug-
gesttd by Ed c. Lassiter of Texas,
representing live stock growing or
CARNATIONS before the house agri-
culture committee.
The packing business now is un-
economical, Mr.. Lassiter asserted,
causing injury both to live stock
producers and consumers. Trans
portatiun of cattle to the packing
centers and return shipment of meat
to consumers involves an economic
loss, he said.
Lasslter also urged separation of
large stock yards from packer con-
troll. The yards, he said, should not
be owned by a. holding company, but
by the railroads as transportation
adjunct
Independent stock yards and
slaughtcring plants cannot be de-
veloped, Mr.. Lassiter said, so long
as congress permits the large pack
ers to have such a preponderant
share CT business.

HOT PASSAGES
FROM POuCHER
NOTE ARE READ
Handwriting Expert Says Sig.
nature on Chicago Hotel
BIotter That of For
mer Omahan.

/ San Francisco, March 2. - (Spe-
cial Telegram)-Promised sensations
were sprung in the Smetzer-P Poucher
alienation suit when Mrs. Boyd
w. Thorne of Los Angeles re-
cited passages from a letter that she
testified she found in Mrs. Irma
kSmeltzer's brief case while Mrs.
Smeltzer was visiting her in Los
Angeles, and when Carl Eisen-
schimel, handwriting expert, de-
clared that the signaturee of 81. J.
Parker and wife, Chicago" on the
Hotel St. Mark register, and an ad-
mitted signature of Rev. John J.
Poucher, had been written by one
and the same person."
Mrs. Thorne declared that the let
ter. from which she quoted at leangtl,
was written in a hand identical with
| the specimens of .Poucher's hand
writing admitted as such.
You have brought lots of hap
Ipiness and lots of trouble into my
life" Mrs. Thorne declared the let
ter read. II bought some theater
tickets today and was sorry that l
had to pay for them, as we will need
all our pennies for the future"
Advised to "Lie Low"
Advising Mrs. Smeltzer to drop
out of sight for couple of weeks -
the letter continued, Mrs. Thorne
said: Get your new sport suit and
your things ready and leave by July
l. When you come to Oakland we
will plan our future Mrs. Thorne
said that the letter was signed your
loving, begging boy, john
Another letter that came for Mrs.
Smeltzer during her visit in Juna,
1919, had written on the flap in hand
writing that Mrs. Thorne asserted
was identical with the Poucher
specimen:
"Your letter came at II. I feel
better now"
At this time, she said, she took out
and copied the letter that she later
found in fragments and pieced to-
gether. On an earlier occasion, 60
ing to Mrs. Smeltzer's brief case for
stamps, she found the loving, beg
ging boy letter and learned it by
hcari.
Didn't Look for Any More.
did you look for any more let
ters:" asked Attorney White.
THAT was enough" answered Mrs.
Thorne. II didn't want to read any
more trash like that"
Mrs. Thorne said that Mrs. Smelt-
zer received many letters while she
was staying in Los Angeles, and
that she always took them from the
mail man herself.
"She would sit on the front porch
and wait for him to come along"
said Mrs. Thorne. -.. .r

Chicago Women Promise Hot Time
For Spanish Author il He Returns

Chicago, March 2.-(By Chi
cago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. e.)-When Vincente Blasco
Ibanez, Spanish novelist, appeared
in Chicago he complained that the
city was cold toward him. Should
he choose to return, he will find
it plenty warm enough Chicago
women will make. it torrid enough
even for the hot-blooded Spaniard
and all because Of a recent inter-
view in which he said American
men were towards before their
women, coddled and petted them
when they should instead hand
them some rough stuff, little
cave man stuff for change.
This brought a rise all right.

JOHN BULL BUSY,

FEEDS FAM|SHED
Financial Struggle in Europe
Opens With Great Britain
Leaving U. S. Behind,
Writer Says.
By FLOYD GIBBONS.

Paris, March 2.-(New York
Times Chicago Tribune Cable,
Copyright, 1920 9-England, Italy,
Poland and Roumania soon will
start open and above board peace
negotiations with Russia at a peace
conference in Warsaw. Announce
ment of this fact may be expected
this week. 1t is considered most
probable that Lloyd George will at
tend the conferences.
Recent German public statements
carry friendly tore toward the new
government in Warsaw, the German
press pointing out the desirability of
a German-Pole alliance for exploita-
ton of Russia. Diplomatic circles
in Paris consider an alliance in
evitable as Germany's only hope for
the future lies in Russia and Poland,
at present representing a barrier
between them. The Frankfurter
Zeitung, a paper of the German
Austro Rothschilds, refers to Polish
Encouragement on account of the
entente's vacillating Russian policy
and advocates the sinking of Ger
ran-Pole differences for co-opera-
ton in Russia.
Poles Can't Rely On Russia.
poland now understands she can-
not rely on Russia, nor exploit Rus
sia against Germany. but it would
be easy and profitable to exploit
Russia in partnership with Ger
many" says the editorial.
This opposition of alliances both
with the same purpose may be con-
sidered the opening of financial
struggle in eastern Europe, between
the entente and Germany for ex-
ploitation Of Russia. England has
won the first round by establishing
firmly her financial groups in the
Baltic states. while American
finance, commerce and diplomatic
idealists are busy organizing soup
kitchens and relief stations.
An important factor not uncon-
sidered is the close relation of Japan
with England, and there is a strong
probability that the Toxic govern
ment will join in the Warsaw con-
ference. Meantime British interests
are overlooking no bets in future
relations with Germany.
Germans Favor Trevelyan.
One Englishman the Germans
possibly could consider acceptable,
now is working hard in Germany
for revision of the Versailles treaty.
That Englishman is Arthur Tre-
velyan, former minister Of the
Asquith cabinet who resigned in
1914, protesting against England's
declaration of war with Germany.
Mr. Trevelyan is. now in Leipsig,
where the German press, recalling
his 1914 attitude. express greatest
satisfaction with his visit and point
out the hopeful prospects of the
present Anglo German negotiations
for treaty revision.
The French press is alarmed at
the treaty revision possibilities.

Washington, March 2.-(By Chi
cago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. President Wilson is not a
candidate for a third term and vir-
tually has eliminated himself from
consideration for the. democratic
nomination to succeed himself.
He signalized his decision yester-
day by giving definite permission to
Attorney General Palmer to an
nounce his candidacy for the nomi-
nation and clearing the way for a
similar announcement by his son-in-
law, former Secretary of the Treas
ury William G. McAdoo. The word
fir the White House to the demo-
cratic leaders is that the bars are
down, the president stands aside and
the field of candidates is open to all
comers.
The assurance also emanates from
the White House that the president
intends to keep hands off the pre-
convention campaign. He will not
place the seal of his endorsement on
either Mr.. Palmer or Mr.. McAdoo
or Herbert Hoover, who also will be
in the race for the democratic nomi-
nation, and will endeavor to hold the
administration aloof from the con-
test.
McAdoo in Capital.
These developments were dis
closed today following Mr.. Palmer's
announcement of candidacy in a
telegram authorizing the filing of
Palmer petition in the Georgia pri-
mary. The story portrays series
of interesting maneuvers of rival fac
tons around the figure of the sick
man in the White House.
The sudden arrival of Mr.. Nc
Adoo in Washington yesterday and
long confidential talk between
father-in-law and son-in-law started
the train of events. Mr.. McAdoo
had scarcely departed from the
White House before it became
kown to the "inner circle" surround
ing the president that Mr.. Wilson
had reached an important decision
in regard to the democratic presi-
dental contest.
Through trusted scouts Mr.. Pal
mer soon learned that the president
had conhded his intentions to Mr..

Seventeen Senators Who Did
Not Vote for Monroe Doctrine
Provision First Time Help
Readopt Reservation.
U. S. TO HANDLE OWN
DOMESTIC QUESTIONS
Effort by Senator Hitchcock
To Disp|ace Lodge Reserva-
ton With Mild Substitute
Beaten by Majority Of Ten.

Washington, March 2.-(By Chi
cago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire.) ----, Without the slightest
change either of meaning or phrase
ology, the senate today readopted
the Lodge reservation safeguarding
tthe Monroe doctrine by the decisive
vote of So to %.
This reservation not only declines
to submit questions growing out Of
the Monroe doctrine to the league
of nations, but also declared in the
plainest language possible that the
United States must remain the sole
interpreter of the doctrine. Next to
article 10 it was the most important
point of difference in the treaty
controversy.
Seventeen democrats Joined with
the republicans to roll up the over
whelming majority in favor of the
reservation. At the same time the
administration again clearly demon
strated that it still commands suf-
fcient support to block any ratii-
cation obnoxious to, President Will
son. The Monroe doctrine reserva-
ton struck directly at the most vul-
nerable point in the administration
defenses and it was generally agreed
that as long as p democrats would
continue standing by Mr.. Wilson on
such an issue as this ratification was
entirely out of the question.
How Senate, Lined Up.
Here is the way the senate lined
up on the preservation of the Mon
roe doctrine:
FOR THE RESERVATIoN-5s.

tana. Williams and Woicott--22.
Hitchcock Move Fails.
An effort by Senator Hitchcock,
the democratic leader, to displace
the Lodge reservation with mild
substitute, was beaten, 43 to "a.
In brief speech defending his
reservation, Senator Lodge declared
that "the maintenance Of the Mon
roe doctrine is absolutely vital" and
asserted his readiness to join in fiat
rejection of the treaty unless It was
clearly understood that the United
States was to continue "as the sole
interpreter of the doctrine"
The original Lodge reservation
declining to submit domestic ques-
tions to the league of nations was
also readopted by vote of Sc to Is.
after every attempt to modify it had
tailed. Fourteen democrats bolted
and supported the reservation. A
mild substitute was proposed by
Senator Hitchcock. Senator Borah
declared it might turn control of
the Panama canal over to the
league. 1t was rejected, a. to So.
The senate has now reached
reservation No. E and the Lodge
program still stands intact and un-
changed.

Hoary Old Game
Adds One More
Scalp to B cit

Chicago, March 2. - Chicago
Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. 1.-The "wire-tapping game
is hoary with age, but it seems
that if one travels far enough
eastward, he can find people who
have not heard of it. Take Louis
Wartman. clothing manufacturer
of New York, for instance. Two
months ago he went to California
to seek a location for a branch
house. On the way he stopped in
Chicago and deposited $4,000 in
a bank here.
In California he met an affable
stranger who desired to be di-
rected to the postoffice. Wartman
volunteered to walk along with
him to point it out. They were
joined by a third man, wealthy
Iowa farmer" who confded in
them he was having the time of
his life beating the races through
a fourth man who could tap the
wires. 1t seems the fourth man
would do almost anything for a
$40 bill, as he was sadly in need
of money-sick wife, lots of doc
tor bills and all that.
Well, every l0-year-old child
knows what followed. Wartman
went with his new friends to
dingy poolroom and all of them
put down a small wager. Wart-
man won $3.50. The next day he
won another $3.50 Then "kill-
ing" was suggested. The others
put up $1,000 each and Wartman
drew on the Chicago bank for his
$4,000. He won all right, but
just as the money was being paid
over some detectives peered in
the window, so the men scattered,
the others holding Wartman's
$4,000.
They've still got it.

BIG TENT MEETING
To Be Held In cookevilIe, Beginning
August, 22nd.

Tentative plans for big evange-
listic campaign in Cookeville have
been laid, and there is no question
but that the big tent meeting will
materialize. Four Of the churches Of
the town have joined hands in

sisted by Rev. Mr.. Ramsey, who is
recognized as one of the foremost
choir directors in evangelism, will

ly needed, and that the time is most

this opportunity of doing something
for the cause of Christ.
Every Christian organization in
the county is cordially invited D
