RAIL STRIKE UP TO PRESIDENT
START PAIRING
SIDE ISSUES IN
TREATY FIGHT
Resumed Privately
For Compromise on Main
Points in Controversy.

Washington, Feb. 1l.-Steps to
eliminate many collateral issues OF
the peace treaty fight were taken
today on the floor while negotia-
tons were being resumed privately
for compromise on the two princi-
pal points remaining in controversy,
article 10 and the Monroe doc
trine.
Modification of eight OF the "A re
publican reservations on the basis
OF agreements by the bipartisan
conference and in a way said to be
satisfactory to many democrats was
proposed formally by Senator
Lodge. Four of the remaining six
are said to have been accepted al
ready without change by the demo-
Gratis, leaving only those which re-
late to article 10 and the Monroe
doctrine.
Progress also was claimed i'll ar
ticle 10 negotiations, a new draft
of the reservation being declared by
the mild reservation republicans to
have received approval from Senator
Lodge and from some democrats.
The draft was denounced by Senator
Hitchcock, democratic leader; how
ever, as constituting not a COM
promise but surrender" and much
doubt remained as to its ultimate
acceptance.
The new reservation, said to have
been drafted by a democrat, would
deny this nations obligation to pre-
serve the integrity of other league
members "by the use of its military
or naval forces, or by the economic
boycott, or by any other means" un-
less congress acted in each case. I'm
der the original republican draft the
denial of the articles obligations is
made directly.
Senatorr Lodges move i'll propos-
ing notifications was i'll accordance
with a plan agreed on by republican
leaders. Not all of the changes em-
bodied in his proposal had been ac-
cepted by the democrats in the BIZ
partisan conference, it was SAID, and
some democratic opposition was
forecast to parts of the revised pro-
gram. The general impression was,
however, that these differences could
be disposed of with little debate

Gaby Deslys Is Dead;
Throat Trouble Kills
French Actress-Dancer

Paris, Feb. ll.-Gaby Deslys, the
French actress and dancer, died
Wednesday.
Gaby Deslys had recently under
gone several operations for an in
fection of the throat. Early in De-
cember she was considered to be in
grave condition and her rela tives
were summoned from America.
The name of Gaby Deslys be-
came known after former King
Manuel of Portugal displayed his
infatuation for her. That was 10
years or more ago. In 1917 she
arrived in America and made her
appearance on the New York stage.
She made a second visit to America
in 1915. She returned to London
and Paris the following year.
The throat infection from which
the actress suffered is said to have
been complication of influenza.

Grain men WILL
SEND COMMITTEE
TO WASHINGTON
Representatives of Omaha
Exchange to Seek Recall of
Loading Order Affect
ing Corn Market.

A committe of Omaha grain men,
representing the Omaha Grain ex-
change, will leave for Washington,
d. c., Monday to seek recall of
Director General Hines railroad
order prohibiting the shipment of
corn out of Omaha from February
s to Is.
Otis NJ. Smith, president of the
exchange, was instructed to appoint
this committee by the board of di-
rectors at their meeting yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Smith will announce
his appointments today.
Several terminal grain elevators
of the city closed down yesterday
as temporary measure, following
the refusal of Hale Holden, regional
director of the Railroad administra-
ton. to act in their behalf with re-
gard to the recent order.
The local market was unaffected
by the inability to ship out grain
yesterday, according to Mr.. Smith,
who further stated that the price
was somewhat higher on the ex-
change yesterday, on the heels of
a sudden drop in price Monday.
The market here continues to be
somewhat congested, because of the
fact that many country shippers
have refused to move their corn,
according to Omaha grain men.
The purpose of the order, ac-
cording to the message from Mr..
Hines, is to move the surplus stocks
of corn from country markets to
the large terminal elevators.
But these latter are mostly flood
ed now, according to Mr.. Smith,
and inability to ship out leaves no
room for country stocks.

Bar Commissions Report De-
CIares Furlough Practice II.
legal But Finds No Basis for
Recommending Proceedings.
SIMILAR ACTION TAKEN
IN 81 PREVIOUS CASES
Minority of One Declares Gov
ernor Responsible Even
Though Absent From State
At Time of Release.

The State Bar commission filed
two reports with the supreme court
at Lincoln yesterday relative to its
investigated of the release OF Beryl
c. Kirk from the state penitentiary
on a "furlough' signed by State
Senator BuShee. then acting gov
ernor.
The majority report, signed by
Members McCandless. Fradenberg,
Ledwith and Goss, finds that the is
suance of furloughs, in this case and
81 others extending through six
state administrations, is without au-
thority of law, although sanctioned
by custom. 1t recommends that the
practice be discontinued
Further than this, the majority
finds no evidence to support the
charges of bad faith or other mis-
conduct on the part of attorneys or
state officials involved in the case.
The minority report, signed by
Bernard McNeny, approves the ma
jority report, but adds that "the full
responsibility is on the governor,
and his absence from the state does
not excuse him in that response
bility."
Reviews Kinks Crime.
The majority report includes a
detailed statement of the crime for
which Kirk was sentenced to 70
wears in the penitentiary, the muir
der of Police Detective Frank
Rooney of Omaha, following the
Malaschock jcwelry store robbery.
It continues with a recital of the
facts of the application for fur
Tough to Governor McKelvie and
its issuance by Acting Governor
Bushee during the absence from the
state of both the governor and
Lieutenant Governor Barrows.
"This order releasing Kirk on
what is called a 'furlough' is not a
new thing in the executive depart
ment of this state" the report states.
"The practice seems to have been
followed in at least the last SIX ad-
ministrations. Lists in evidence
show that 81 furloughs have been
granted in the last seven years dur
ing the administrations of Cover
nors Morehead, Neville and Nickel
vie, releasing parties convicted for
crimes ranging from hog stealing to
murder, and from wife desertion to
rape"
Reviewing provisions of the con-
stitution and the law as to executive
clemency the report continues:
"A 'furlough' is evidently not a
reprieve. No one has seriously as
serted that it is commutatlon. 1t
it came under any of the descrip-
tions it must be under that of par
don. 1t is, we think, either entirely

ON VIM. J. BRYAN
Calls ''Hysterics" About Pro-

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 11.-Answer-
ing William ]. Bryan's latest at
tack on him by declaring that per-
sonal liberty is involved in the ques-
ton of prohibition and not merely
the ability of one to get drink,
Governor Edwards has issued
statement intimating that Bryan's
mysteries" about prohibition is SIM
ply mask to cover an attack on
Democratic National Chairman
Cummings who, the governor said,
was formidable obstacle" to the
Nebraskan's political designs. Mr..
Edwards reiterated his determina-
ton to take the matter of prohibi-
ton before the democratic national
convention.
"If it be true" Governor Ed
wards said. that the remote places
and the wilderness are able to send
enough delegates to this convention
those who either blidly or stubborn
ly will eject from the convention
those who either blindly or Stub
bornly will eject from the conven-
ton those who desire for each state
a doctrine of personal liberty, then
this is only another indication of
the path along which the democratic
party is to tread in the November
elections.
The governor said the question
at issue was whether the people
were so dead to the spirit of the
constitution that they would al
low their personal liberty to be TAX
Ell from them. Many were indig-
nant, he said. because fanatics
have laid hands upon the ark of
the covenant, the United States con-
stitution.'

A tear OF fond recollection of the

eye at the stag" social of Omaha
Elks at the club rooms last night.

Still, the absence of that liquid
