II Wife Is Made an Heir

Chicago. April 1.-THE legality
of will drawn by a single man is
not affected by his marriage if il
provides for his intended wife, ac-
cording to an Illinois supreme court
decision.
The decision was the outcome of
a suit by Mrs. Ida Hallock to break
the will of her father. William Ford.
a wealthy land owner. His will
made before he was married D.
years ago, provided an annuity of
$500 for his wife. The income from
a $4,000 farm was divided between
Mrs. Hallock and John A. Ford. a
son.
Mrs. Hallock's contest was based
on the Illinois law which holds that
a will made before marriage is in
valid after marriage.

Candidate for President Comes
From Chicago to Address
Audiences in Omaha and
Lincoln Saturday.

Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. com
manding officer of the Central de-
partment of the United States army,
and candidate for president, made
a fleeting campaign trip to Nebras-
ka yesterday, arriving here in the
morning at 9 from Chicago and re-
turning on an evening train.
Following an address at, Lincoln,
he arrived here at 8 80 p. m. and ad-
dressed an audience in the Auditor
ium at p. m. After the Auditorium
meeting he met the women of the
local Wood organization at the
Rome hotel and then proceeded to
the South Side. wh.re he spoke in
the Orpheum theater.
R. B. Howell, republican national
committeeman for Nebraska, intro
duced the general at the Auditorium
meeting. During his address Gen.
eral Wood referred to the relations
between capital and labor, league OF
nations, immigration, foreign policy,
military training, merchant marine,
national budget, agriculture and a
few other topics of national inter-
est.

son Claim Victory, But Ad.
nit Gains for Pershing With
Each Passing Day.

NeOaska's primary election cam
paign, which began slowly and apa-
thetically. reached a frenzied eli
max yesterday, equal in excitement
apparently to any in the state since
1896. ~
Candidates for office, from presi-
dent down to minor local jobs, let
loose a flood of argument upon the
bewildered voter by speeches, adver-
tising and circulars. Printing offices
were swamped and postoffices
jammcd.
Voters who were indifferent ear
lier in the campaign surprised candi-
dates and observers during its clos
ing days by the interest which they
showed. Candidates for presidential
preference, for national convention
seats and for state office found
large and attentive audiences, par
ticularly in the smaller cities and
towns.
Interest in Presidency.
Interest in the republican primary
centered in the contest for presiden-
tial preference between Nebraska's
candidate, General Pershing, and
General Wood and Senator john
son, with the free-for-all fight for
governor second on the list. In the
democratic camp, the whole state
contest was between. Hitchcock and
BRYAN forces for control not only
of the national convention dele
CATION, but of the national COM
mitteemaffship and the nomination
for governor.
Added to the ordinary zest OF the
occasion was the participation of
women for the first time in gen
eral election.
Pershing Gains Support.
Few denied at the end of the week
that General Pershing's candidacy
was markedly stronger than at any
time during the canvass in his be-
half for the republican presidential
preference. Supporters of Johnson
and Wood claim victory Tuesday.
but generally admitted that Pershing
had gained with each passing day.
Pershing adherents expressed cer-
tainty of carrying Douglas county
and confidence of the result in the
state at large. Johnsonites had no
hope Of Douglas, but avowed their
satisfaction with conditions over the
state. The Wood forces, from an

not the big overhead expense nor

If we canpot buy potatoes at rea-

RAILWAY LABOR
BOARD IS READY
TO BEGIN WORK
7 ennessee Man Named Per-
manent Chairman of Body
To Adjust Wage.

Washington, April H.-lhc rail-
road labor board got down to busi-
ness today with the election of r.
M. Barton of Tennessee, a member
of the public group, as permanent
chairman and the appointment of C.
P. Carrithers of Texas as permanent
secretary. Mr.. Carrithers was for
merly secretary of adjustment board
No. | of the railroad administration.
With its machinery in working
order to adjust the wage demands
of nearly 100000 railway employees,
the board received the controversy
as it stood when the bipartisan ad-
justment board failed to reach a set
tlement on April /.
w. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
presented the workers case and E.
T. Whittier, chairman of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, ap-
peared sor the roads.
Action by the board to force the
New England Steamship association
TO reinstate men who had left their
jobs during the OUTLAW strike" was
asked by E. T. Fitzgerald.
Strikers Stand Pat.
Chicago, April 1.-THE members
of the outlaw" organization OF
striking switchmen, in session here
today, refuse to call off the strike
which has been in progress for two
weeks. The officials decided to
stand by their original demands to
the railroads and drafted additional
demands to be presented to the rail-
way owners.
1t was reported when the leaders
of the insurgent organization went
into session that they were planning
to advise their men to return to
work.
At the close of the session John
Grunau, president of the Chicago
Yardmen's association, which called
the first strike here, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"At meeting of grand lodge Of
fcers, board of directors and board
of trustees of the Chicago Yard
mems association at 10 a. m. it was
unanimously decided that the or
iginal demands of.the c. Y. A. pre-
sented to the General Managers as
jsocihtion Shall stand Also that as
far as switchmen and switch tenders
are concerned we must be recog7
nized as the governing body. Also
that there shall be no discrimination
against any men who have with
drew from the service of the var
ious railroads and they must be re-
stored to their former seniority
rank.
(Signed)
JOHN GRUNAU,"
Addition OF the two demands to
the previous list apparently has
widened the split between the roads
and brotherhoods on the one hand
and the strikers on the other.
The general managers and the
brotherhoods here. have given the
strikers until midnight to return to
work, under penalty of losing their
seniority. Similar action has been
taken elsewhere.
Mr.. Grunau this morning sent a
message to presidents of all yard
mems association locals requesting
them to attend a meeting of the ex-
ecutive officers of the Chicago
Yardmen's association to be held
here next Monday.
Plans for continuing the strike
will be taken up at this meeting. he
said.
