Howell Throws
Monkey Wrench
In State Senate
House Roll No. 2, Waterway
Project Bill, Sent to Ir-
rigation Committee and
Hearing Held.

Lincoln, April 23.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-R. B. Howell, republican
national committeeman, arrived in
Lincoln late this afternoon and threw
his monkey wrench in the already
perturbed machinery of the Nebraska
state senate.
Howell, through his sspokesnlen,
the Omaha senatorial delegation, de-
clared that House Roll 2, the water
way project bill, had been pushed to
third reading ip the seuase without
giving him a hearing.
This resulted in pulling the bill
back to the committee on irrigation,
where Howell was given a hearing.
Howell declared that provisions of
the bill, which called for the repeal
of the present statutes concerning
waterway projects, interfered with
projects already under way.
II believe it is only fair that you
permit us to continue our projects
under the existing law by taking
out the clause repeating the existing
statute and then go ahead and pass
House Roll 2 if you want to" Howell
said.
He pointed to section of House
Roll 2 which provides that if citizens
wished to present petitions calling
a special election for a waterway
project those signing the petition
would be obligated to pay the cost
OF the election if the project failed
to receive approval of voters at the
polls.
I'm other words" Howell de-
clared, there is plot underfoot to
defeat extension of waterway prof.
ects in Nebraska
The committee postponed a de-
cision until Monday at 10, when Mr..
Howell and Representative Lundy
of Custer, the owner of small
waterway project, and others will be
heard again.

Alone and unarmed, Mrs. Lottie
Milbone, q, 4646 Nicholas street
repulsed prowler who had entered
the basement of her home late Satur-
day afternoon and landed several
well-aimed kicks which put the in
truder to flight.
Mrs. Milbone had returned to her
home after trip downtown. When
she went to the basement an un-
identified man leaped out from be-
hind post and attempted to gag
her with strip of cloth.
Il want your jewelry and I'll get
it." the man said, according to Mrs.
Mi1bone.
AS he attempted to gag her, the
woman put UP desperate fight, in
tlicting severe scratches on the
prowler's face and kicking him in a
vital spot.
With howl of pain, the man re-
leased her and fled at top speed from
the basement. Mrs. Milbone said
that he limped as he ran and she be-
lieves he will bear the marks of the
encounter for several days.
Police were summoned by the
woman, who gave them good de-

clined rather to boast of their deeds
than TO conceal them.
Widow of English Officer.
The fiat in question was occupied
by Frau Elby Boccker, widow of an
English officer who was killed in the
Dardanelles. Frau Boecker is a
German woman of the black-haircd.
dark type, with brilliant brown eyes
and most attractive in appearance.
She is about IS years old.
After my husbands death in 1915,
she found herself at loose ends in
London and naturally her nationality
did not tend to make her path easy.
Also her supply OF money was fast
becoming exhausted. Nevertheless.
she had a good many friends and
was seen almost nightly at one or
another of the West End restaurants.
One of her especial companions was
Frau Ritz. Needless to say, neither
of these names is that by which its
owner was known in the British cap
ital. -,
Ope evening at the Cafe Royal, in
Regent street, Frau Boecker was in
troduced to Spaniard named Al
varez, who appeared to be profundly
impressed by the lady and sought
permission to see her again. A
meeting was arranged in tiny Soho
house and, after carefully sounding
his companion, Alvarez put it to her
bluntly that he was in German pay
and asked her if she would under
take certain minor work for which
she would be well rewarded Sec
ing no other means of a livelihood
at hand. Frau Boecker consented and
was given 500 marks as a retainer.
Met Another Agent.
Soon she came to know that Frau
Ritz was mLloyed in similar ca
pacity and often the two would be
assigned to pump British officers
who were home on leave. The sys-
tenn was the time-honored one OF
inducing their prey to drink freely
and picking up what they could.
Owing to her dark skin, Frau
Boecker easily posed as Spanish
woman, while Frau Ritz, who spoke
English without an accent, let it be
understood that she was native OF
England

the trick in the Kitchener case and
it came about in this manner:
A certain officer of Lord Kitchen
er's staff became violently infatuated
with Frau Ritz and for many
months before the sinking of the
Hampshire the pair were together
almost every evening, The officer
in question will not be named be-
cause he went to the bottom with
his chief and no good purpose
would be served by disclosing his
identity.
Was Indiscreet When Drunk.
However, it is certain that when
he had been drinking he was in
clined to be indiscreet and many a
useful bit of military information
was dropped into eager ears and
thus conveying to Alvarez or some
one designated by him for its re-
ception. And at last a hint was
dropped that the war secretary
was planning a long trip abroad.
Kitchener's destination was not
mentioned at first and both Frau
Ritz and Frau Boecker were too
clever to ask questions, but the fact
that the officer had said he would
be separated from his friends for
some time made it clear that kitch-
ener was bound for somewhere be-
sides France. When this was re-
ported to one OF Alvarez's lieuten-
ants, he became intensely interested
and cautioned the women to Use the
utmost tact in the matter and to
concentrate upon obtaining de-
tailed information in regard to
Kitchener's proposed journey.
So we'll were his instructions fol-
lowed that, on June evening, in
the Imperial restaurant, London, the
staff officer actually told his COM
panionS that he was to accompany
his chief to Russia, and named the
date as we'll as the ship and point OF
departure. All OF which was passed
on before the next morning.
Tried to Correct Story.
Evidently the officer realized mex,
morning that he had made an indis.
Greet admission because he made i,
a point to invite his two friends out
that evening and mentioned that
Kitchener was going to Italy, giving
the same date that he had set the
night before for the departure from

Appropriation and Revenue
Bills to Come Up Again
Monday-Members Must

Omahans Thwart Plans

Lincoln, April 25.-(Special Telc-
gram.)-Thc Nebraska legislature
adjourned late today with the inn
portant revenue and taxation bill
aud the $2S,000,000 appropriation
bill still in the air.
Before adjournment the senate
passed 4 revised Senate File o5, the
revenue and taxation bill, and put
that buck" in the hands of the
house for consideration at 9 Mon
day morning.
The revised appropriation bill
was not mimeographed when the
two bodies adjourned, although the
appropriations embodied in the bill
by the conference committee, which
worked for l8 hours straight, were
general knowledge.
Refuse Road Fund.
The big increases in the university
appropriations were approved i'll
most instances, it was understood,
while the conference committee ab-
solutely refused to countenance a
$l25,O00 appropriation for a hard
surfaced road from the Sarpy county
line to Fort Crook.
The news of the deleting OF the
Fort Crook appropriations and Civ
ing Lincoln practically everything it
wanted led the indignant Omaha
delegation to block concurrence on
Senate File IS or the appropriation
bill and keep the members IN Lin
coin for many days to come. Omaha
members declared that their vote as
unit, together with votes OF tried
and true friends, were sufficient to
block concurrence and also adjourn
nent. because passage of the appro-
priation bill would be absolutely
necessary TO carry on the state gov
crnment.
Farmer members threatened to
take French leave unless business
was disposed of today. But an ad-
journmcnt was forced through and
resolutions adopted which empow.
cred the speaker to force all men,
bers, not i'll, to be in their seats Mon
day. Meantime, peace at any
price propaganda is being circulat-
cd in Lincoln.
Day of Excitement.
Senate File 65, as it was trotted
out late today, provides for tax
on intangibles equivalent to rs per
cent Of the tax imposed on tangi-
bles. It also provides for an aver
age capital invested tax" on grain and
hay brokers, sugar factories, oil COM
panics aud motion picture distribu-
tors. The following articles struck
out by The house committee on rev.
cnue and taxation were reinserted:
Rules governing taxation on rail-
roads, local taxation of railroads for
municipal purposes. franchise tax on
common carriers, sublic utilities and
insurance companies"
Adjournment followed a day OF
anxiety and excitement. The con-
ference committee on appropriations
and revenue taxation worked until
5 this morning, met again at 8 and
continued to work until noon. Anx-
ious lobbyists maintained a close Wig
il. endeavoring futilly to gain some
knowledge of the committees ac'
ton.
Members of both committees swore
to absolute secrecy and accurate re-
ports of their actions were not forth
coming until nearly noon.
