Customs officials are making an in
vestigation concerning the schooner
Pocomoke, which was ordered into
Atlantic City Wednesday by the
coast guard service on the ground

two weeks ago with 1000 cases of
whisky. ostensibly for Quebec.
When the inspectors boarded the
vessel its hold was found to be
empty and the leak was. said to be
not of serious character.
Some of the crew said the cargo
was jettisoned in an easterly gale.
The Pocomoke was formerly an
American vessel and owned at Cape

it was sold to a British syndicate
and put under TIE English flag, sail

Denver. July 2l.-The mystery
girl" at the county hospital here is
believed to be Miss Connie Phillips,

The girl is believed to have left

When Miss Phillips, left Denton
she informed schoolinates she was
going to her home at Rosston. Tele-
grams from the authorities at Ross
ton indicated the girl never reached

mother, Mrs. Lula Hester.
A telegram from w. H. Bruce,
president of the Denton institution,

ment based on justice. Isolation
must be avoided at all costs, but
Japan is in no danger"
The comment on the Washington
conference now appearing indicates
that Japan is recovering from the
first shock of surprise caused by the
invitation, but everything points to
the disarmament issue being dwarfed
in the public mind in comparison
with the importance of the PROPOSE
ton Tor discussion of far east prob
lens.
Pessimists Are Active.
The press also presents the views
of pessimists who foresee danger
from the proposition. Thus America
is pictured by some commentators as
summoning the powers so as virtual
ly to place Japan on trial FOR her
foreign policy.
At Paris Japan was the plaintiff,
at Washington she will be the de-
fendant," says the militarist Kokumin
Shimbun in an article entitled Anglo
American pressure threatens the far
east in the guise of disarmament
conference. The Kokumin expresses
the fear that such pressure on the
part of two nations indicated will de-
prive Japan of her special position in
the far east and affect her interests,
particularly those in Kwang-Tung.
"China serves as a catspaw for
the Anglo -Saxons who take China's
side against Japan but keep the ker-
nels for themselves, leaving the hulls
for China" this newspaper adds.
Meanwhile arrangements are being
made for special steamer to trans
port the japanese delegation to the
United States for the conference.

Gov. Small
Stands On
His Rights
Illinois Executive Refuses to
Submit to Arrest on Charges
OF Embezzlement and
Conspiracy.
Former Cases Are Cited
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Springfield, Ill.,, July 21.-Gover-
nor Len Small refused to submit to
arrest today on warrents issued fol-
lowing the returning, yesterday, OF
three indictments by the Sangamon
county grand jury charging him
with embezzlement of state funds
and conspiracy. Arguments on the
governors constitutional right in the
matter will be heard at 9 a. m. to-
morrow, according to announcement
this afternoon in Judge Smiths
court.
An opinion on which Governor
Small based his action, was the prece-
dent set by Governors Altgeld and
Tanner, who refused to submit to
arrest following their indictments on
charges died with the indictments,
was prepared and signed by At
torneys George B. Gillespie, Spring
field; James w. Fifer of Blooming
ton, former governor of Illinois and
James M. Graham, former congress
man from this district. Mr.. Graham
appeared in court with the opinion
and announced the decision of the
governor to abide by the advice of his
attorneys.
The attorneys take the position
that Governor Small can not be ar
rested while governor and that if he
surrenders and gives bond it will be
surrender of his rights and will
establish a precedent.
Victory for State.
This leaves a tactical victory for
the state, for the warrants still stand
against Governor Small. 1t is
claimed that should the court rule in
favor of the position taken by counsel
for Governor Small, that the indict-
ments still stand against him and will
be in force when his term of office
expires.
The standing of proposed civil
suits against Governor Small will
not be affected, it is claimed. The
position taken by Governor Small
and his attorneys is considered an
unwise one by some lawyers and pol
iticians here. 1t is believed it will
be construed by the people as an
attempt to avoid trial, which is con-
trary to former statements said to
have been made by Governor Small,
to the effect that if he was indicted
he would demand an immediate trial.
Other Indictments "Jokes."
Some attorneys asserted that the
precedent of the Tanner and Alt
geld indictments has no bearing upon
the Small case for the reason that
the old indictments were Joke" af-
fairs or so regarded at the time, and
that they were not for major Of
fenses against the state. Governor
Tanner was indicted by a Macoupin
county grand jury for responsibility
in the Virden riot of 1908 and Cover
nor Altgeld was named in bills voted
by Champaign county grand jury

Higher Prices
for
Nebraska Farmers

The low price of farm prod
ucts today is a subject of
deep concern to every Ne
braska farmer, and to every
other Nebraskan who realizes
that the states prosperity de-
pends upon the farm.
One factor in forcing down
the price of farm products is
the high cost of getting them
to market. Lowered transpor-
tation costs mean higher
prices at the farm.
Last week, nearly 200 bust
ness men, public officials and
engineers made an exhaustive
investigation of a project a
thousand miles from Ne
braska, which promises never
theless to exercise a potent
influence on the price Of Ne
braska farm products. That
project is the St. Lawrence
waterway, which will bring the
Atlantic ocean-for shipping
purposes-1,500 miles inland.

its editorial page a series of

ect and what it may mean to

proposed Washington conference
with a general program of not dis
cussing questions affecting sovereign
rights of participants, and also not
to discuss the Shantung and Yap
questions which it is held were de-
cided by the Paris peace conference.
A delegation of peers representing
all the parties visited Foreign Min
lister Uchjda today and questioned
him concerning the conference, ac-
cording to the Yokiuri Shimbun.
Viscount Uchida expounded his views
with relation to the conference and
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. says the

the questions of Shantung and ST.
IBERIA were popularity supposed to be
included among those to be discussed
by the conference and might be so
included, these matters had in fact
been decided at the Paris confer
ence.
Against Coalition Move.
In an interview in the Jill Shi1npo
today, Viscount Kato, leader of the
Kensai-Kai, the opposition party, de-
clares against the formation of a
coalition government.
There is no need to propose a
coalition cabinet" he is quoted as
saying, because Japan faces no crisis
grave enough to justify such step.
"All Japan has to do at the con-
ference is to present her case openly
and candidly. America is not ma
ton which refuses to withdraw from
a position once she is met with argu-
