Nebraska Is Urged to
Join Kansas in Fight
For Lower Rail Rates

Lincoln, July 8. = Especially -
Whether the Nebraska state railway
commission will join the Kansas
public utilities commission in appear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
commission in all endeavor to get
that body to reduce rates on grain is
an undecided question here today.
The absence of Thorne A. Browne,
a member of the commission, at
tending the funeral of relative,
probably will delay an official de-
cision on the action of the Nebraska
body until Monday.
A telegram was received by the
commission from Washington, D. c.,
asking what the attitude of the Ne
braska railway commission would be
in the fight of the Kansas commits
sion for a lowering of rates on grain.
1t is known the Kansas commits
sion wants other public utilities
bodies to join in a concerted plea to
the Interstate Commerce commission
for lower rates and the presence of
at least one member of the Nebraska
commission is wanted at Washington
when the hearing of the application
of the Kansas commission is held.

'Omahan Arrested
At Houston, Tex.
One of Four Men Indicted for
Fraud Located After
Search.

William A. McWhorter, wanted in
Omaha on charge of using the
mails to defraud, was arrested yester-
day at Houston, Tex, in downtown
office, by ]. R. Price, deputy United
States marshal. The arrest was made
on a federal indictment returned in
Omaha, charging use of the mails to
defraud and conspiracy to violate
federal statute in connection with
sale of stock.
Charles S. Wohlberg and Jacob
Masse, indicted with McWhorter,
were arrested in Los Angeles in May
and are now at liberty under $l2, 500
bonds. William G. Chipley, fourth
man indicted. has not been arrested.
The four men are accused of using
the mails to sell stock in the William
Berg Potash company at inflated val
uation. The indictment charges that
they drained the Berg company for
subsidiary companies which they
formed. The men were active in the
Missouri Valley Finance company
and federal officers say that hundreds
of stockholders lost money through
their activities.
When the indictment was returned
in May, McWhorter could not be
located at Houston, where he was
said to have been engaged in the oil
business. Reports indicated that he
had gone into Mexico. ostensibly to
investigate his oil holdings there.

Peggy Joyce Is Given
$3.50 Monthly AImony

Chicago, July S.-Peggy Hopkins
Joyce was awarded $l,350 a month
alirnony, $27, 500 solicitors fees, and
$l2,500 for the suit expenses today,
by Judge Sabbath in the superior
court. James Stanley Joyce had
originally sued for an annulment of
the marriage and Peggy Hopkins
Joyce filed a cross bill asking for
separate maintenance.
Mrs. Joyce asked temporary ali
nlony of $4,000 a month and attor-
neys fees of 100000.
She said Joyce was worth at least
Sl0,000,000, but her husband in court
maintained that his fortune was of
not more than $3,000,000.
The award granted is temporary
pending final adjudication in Sep
tcmber.
Attorneys for Joyce opposed the
grant on the ground that she had
married their client in a conspiracy
with other persons to rob him of his
wealth. The decision will be ap-
pealed.

An exchange OF views has been
going on between the allied govern

The newspapers comment bitterly
on the result of the trials, some of

no justice to be obtained in Leipsic
the French troops will remain on

Premier Meighen
Asks Abrogation
Of g PACT
This Action Will Be Taker
Despite Chancellor's An.
nouncement That Treaty
In Force for Year

London, July 8.-(By Canadian
/ Press. Notwithstanding the deci
sion of Lord Birkenhead. lord chan
cellor, that the Anglo japanese treaty
will remain in force until IL months
after such time as the foreign office
may serve notice of its desire to de.
nounce it, Premier Meighen of Can
ada and other opponents of the
Anglo-Japanesc alliance in the con-
ference of premiers are unwilling to
let the question rest. 1t Is under
stood they have determined to bring
the matter up again next week and
are confident that as result of the
representations they propose making
steps will be taken toward giving
the II months notice of the ter
mination of the treaty.
The ground on which it is believed
they will base their case is that the
chancellor's explanation ignores the
crucial point in the matter-article 20
of the league of nations covenant.
To Ask Abrogation.
Under this article league members
agree the covenant "is accepted as
abrogating all obligations and un-
derstandings which are inconsistent
with the terms thereof and under
take to adopt immediate steps" to
procure their release from any obli-
cations inconsistent with the cove
nant which they may have under
taken before becoming members.
The foreign Office III a note signed
by Lord Curzon admitted last July
that the Anglo Japanese treaty was
not wholly in accord with the league
covenant and that consequently both
the United Kingdom and Japan were
under obligation to revise it. While
Prcmiers Meighen and Smuts and
other opponents of the alliance ad-
NIT that technically it is possible to
maintain Lord Curzon's note did not
formally denounce the treaty and
that therefore it remains in operation
until the necessary years notice Of
its termination is given.
Will Halt Disarmament.
They nevertheless maintain it is
clear that both Great Britain and
Japan are under obligation to revise
the treaty to bring it into harmony
with the covenant and that notice OF
termination of treaty should accord
ingly be given Immediately.
When Lord Birkenhead first gave
his opinion that Lord Curzon's note
did not constitute denunciation and
that the treaty would therefore con-
tinue in force there seemed to be a
disposition to let the question stand
pending efforts to have disarmament
conference on the Pacific. Opponents
of the alliance, however, appear to
have reached the conclusion, that
with the treaty in force it will be
much more difficult to bring about
tie conference than would be the
case if Great Britain and Japan
showed good faith by taking step
toward the treaty's termination.
Hence the determination to urge the
notice of abrogation without further
delay.

Democrats
Scored On
Bill
Chairman Fordney Present.
Republican Argument at
Opening of Debate on
Measure in House.
Defends His Committee
Nv The Associated Press.

Washington, July 8.-The house
got under way today in its considera-
ton of the Fordney tariff bill. Fol.
lowing reading of the bill, Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means
committee, in a speech of nearly two
hours, developed the first phase OF
the republican argument.
Criticising the position of the DEM
ocrats, Mr.. Fordney said they had
accused the republicans of drafting a
measure which would cut off rather
than encourage trade when the car
dinal policy of his committee had
been to build set of schedules which
would restore commerce and indus
try to health. The committees work
always was actuated, he declared. by
the knowledge that business now was
in a slump and should be given pro-
lection which would save it from the
inroads of foreign competition.
Compromises necessarily have been
put in the bill, the speaker said, add
ing that all such contested points
would be put before the house for
its approval or rejection. At any
rate, he informed the house, the COM
mittee did the best job of which it
was capable and he was willing to
stand behind it to the finish.
The last election influenced the re-
publicans in the house to launch into
tariff legislation, according to Mr..
Fordney. He said he believed the
people knew when they Had what
they wanted, or did not want, and
that the overwhelming majority last
fall was witness that the people were
strongly for protection.

State Attempts
ToShow Murder
OF Kaber Planned
One Witness Says Wife Of
fered Him $4,000 to Run
Slain Man Down With
Auto.

Cleveland, July s. = Through a
number of witnesses today, the state
introduced testimony tending to
show that Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber
vilfully planned the murder of her
husband, Daniel F. Kabcr, for waicn
she is being tried ON first degree
murder charge.
Urbano di Carpo testified that
Mrs. Kaber had offered him $4,000
if he would get an automobile and
run Mr.. Kaber down with it. She
offered him four $50 bills as first
payment on the car, he testified.
When he refused to do this, he said,
Mrs. Kaber then asserted she would
give him $4,000 to $1,000 if he would
get a gang and kill him anyway.
Di Carpo said he introduced Mrs.
Kaber to Ermina Colavito, whom
the state alleges obtained the persons
who accomplished the actual killing.
Mrs. Colavito is awaiting trial on a
first degree murder charge.
Previous to Di Carpo's testimony
the state had, through DR.. John G.
Spencer, chemist, shown that Mr..
Kaber's liver contained about 240
grains of arsenic. A fatal dose of the
poison, when the system is not in
ured to its use, is generally rated at
two grains, he said, adding that a
less amount is fatal sometimes.
Earlier in the day DR.. S. T. Par
sons, the first person to reach Mr..
Kaber after he had been stabbed,
testified that Mr.. Kaber said to him:
MRS. Kaber has this done"
Mrs. Marie Schwartz told of going
to Mrs. Kaber's home with Mrs.
Colavito when the latter asked Mrs.
Kaber for money. Mrs. Kaber, in
response, was alleged to have given
her large diamond ring and a
watch. This was alleged to have
transpired after the murder of Mr..

The Omaha Bee
Represented on
Waterways Tour
Men From 10 States and Five
Newspapers to Learn De
tails of Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Project.

! Nebraska is to be one of 10 states
and The Omaha Bee one of FIVE
newspapers represented on a tour
of inspection of the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence waterways project, be-
ginning at Buffalo, N. Y, Monday
and ending at Montreal, Can, FRI
day of next week.
Nelson B. Updike is to represent
the state, by invitation Of the water
ways association. Victor B. Smith,
managing editor of The Bee, will
represent this newspaper.
The tour is expected to furnish a
fund of information to those inter-
ested. While the party will be
shown courtesies by cities en- route
and by the Canadian government,
the prime purpose is to gain knowl-
edge of the practical details of the
project.
Much Interest Shown.
Extent of the interest manifested
is indicated by the fact that each
state representative is paying his
own expenses and each newspaper
that of its representative, although
the project is of interest to the entire
western country.
The waterways project, when
completed, will permit products of
middle western states, intended for
export, to be shipped direct from
Great Lakes ports to Europe with
out breaking cargo. 1t will elimi-
nate all railroad hauls from Duluth,
Chicago or other lake ports to New
York. It is estimated that this means
saving of 10 to II cents a bushel
in the transportation cost of export
wheat, for example, adding just that
amount to the price paid for the
grain to farmers of Nebraska and
other states.
Greatest Engineering Enterprise.
The project is the greatest engi-
neering enterprise nov under con-
sideration in the world. II involves
the enlargement OF canals, the deep
ening of rivers and .harbors. The
governments OF both Canada and the
United States are interested, as are
hundreds of trade and farm organ
izations. New York state is fighting
the movement because of the loss to
the port of New York and railroads
crossing the state.
Only five newspapers were invited |
to make the tour, these having been
active in the project. They are The
Omaha Bee, The Chicago Tribune,
The Milwaukee Journal, The Cleve-
land Plain-Dealer and The Detroit
News.

Six Bank Bandits
Escape Officers

aced by Gun Presses
Burglar Alarm

Ashtabula, O., July 8.-Tugboats,
fast cruisers and launches manned
by Ashtabula and Cleveland police
today are securing Lake Erie in
search OF power boat on which six
bandits who at noon yesterday held
UP six clerks and robbed the Marine
National bank here Of approximate
ly $4,000 are believed to have es-
capped.
The small amount of money OBJ
tanned by the bandits was due prin-
cipally to the heroism of a girl clerk,
who, with a revolver pointed at her
face, pressed burglar alarm with
her foot, which frightened the rob-
bers away. Almost $4,000 was left
untouched in one of the cages.
The bandits. after making good
their escape from the city, aban-
doned an automobile, believed to
have been stolen in Cleveland, at
Nineveh beach, five miles west of
here. They are thought to have
boarded the Merry G." owned by
Howard Staley, vice commodore of
the Cleveland Yacht club, which was
stolen Wednesday night from its
moorings in Rocky river, near Cleve-
land.
Late last evening the bandit boat
was said to have been sighted near
Geneva, according to reports to local
police.
The Merry G, according to Staley,
had sufficient fuel aboard for 800
mile cruise and subsistence for the
four men for four days.
In making their escape one of the
bandits fired on Policeman Patrick
Shannon and a group of citizens.
The officer was slightly wounded by
a charge of buckshot.
Sheriff R. C. Elder, with deputies
and local police, pursued the bandits,
first in an automobile and later
aboard tug.
