Treasurer Will Attend Execu-
tive Committee Session.

With the arrival in Washington
of Fred w. Uphsm, treasurer OF
the Republican national committee,
and Will Hays, chairman Of the
committee, the first meeting Of the
entire. executive committee Of the
inaugural committee will be held
this afternoon. Mr.. Hays is not a
member Of the committee, but will
sit in at the session today.
IMPORTANT MEETING.
Edward b. Mclean. chairman OF the
Inaugural Committee. said this morn
Ing that the meeting OF the executive
committee today would be the most
important netting Of the committee.
but that probably nothing would be
given out
At a meeting of the souvenir pro-
gram committee yesterday 1t was de-
Washington II any local firm could do
the work. Harry M. Blair. chairman
Of the committee handling the pro-
gram, said today that the out of-town
members of the committee were more
insistant that the work be done here
than the local members.
PLEASED WITH SENATE.
The action of the Senate yesterday
did more to put enthusiasm into the
work of the inaugural committee than
anything else that has happened since
the committee was named.

work for the past few days since the
gress. not wishing to go ahead until
1t had been definitely settled just
what action Congress would take
The attitude OF the Senate yester-
day in approving an appropriation OF
$500 for the expenses incident to
the inauguration at the Capitol was
hailed with delight not only by the
mem bers of the committee, but by the
people Of the city generally.
MeLEAN's STATEMENT.
Rumors Of lavish expenditures" of
the peoples money for the ceremony
attendant upon the inauguration were
set at rest today by q statement from
Edward b. Mclean. chairman OF the
inaugural committee. who explained
that the principal inaugural features
are self-supporting.
"A mistaken idea that the Govern
ment Is paying the entire expense OF
the Inauguration with the peoples
money seems to have gotten abroad
said Mr.. Mclean. land this should be
corrected. The Government spends
little upon the inauguration OF
President, appropriating funds for the
necessary police protection and the
stands at the Capitol for the members
Of Congress-
"The inaugural reception and ball
Is self-supporting, and the revenue
from this source, together with that
from the souvenirs and seats in the
street reviewing stands. which amount
to very little to each individual. but
form a considerable aggregate, take
care Of other expenses.
1.-The Inauguration OF President
elect Harding Is to be impressive but
not lavish. dignihed and not ostenta-
tious, and will be strictly in keeping
with the ceremonies attendant upon
the inaugurations Of other Presidents
Of the United States. with about the
same ratio of expenditure Of the
peoples money"

Nebraska Grain
Is Being Moved
At Rapid Rate
100000 Bushels Are Being
Loaded Daily in 1900
Cars-No Shortage of
Cars Reported.

Lincoln, July %. - Especial y
Two million bushels OF Nebraska
grain is moving to market daily at
this time, according to estimates OF
State Agriculture Secretary Stuhr,
based on reports he has received
from the different transportation
companies.
More than 1900 cars day are be-
ing loaded these returns show. Their
capacity runs from $4,000 to 100000
pounds.
Old Wheat Moving.
Not only is the new wheat being
shipped to market in great volume,
but much of last years crop, held
in reserve until the new crop was
assured, is now moving. Farmers
who held corn to make certain of
having enough to feed live stock
this fall and winter or to get a high
er price if the 1921 crop should fall
short, are letting go of their sur
plus.
No serious car shortage has been
so far except in few
spots where the local supply ran out
As the railroads have
not been taxed for cars to handle
and other commodities,
they have been able to furnish equip
ment for grain cargoes about as fast
as called for. If the heavy shipments
continue it may prove difficult to
provide cars for all shippers imme-
diately, Mr.. Stuhr says.
78 Cars Loaded in Day.
On the Northwestern between
Lincoln and Fremont, not counting
shipments from either of those cities,
as cars of wheat and 80 of corn were
loaded Friday. This IS a sample of
the movement Of grain now in prog
ress, Mr.. McGinnis of the North
western said. 1t is heaviest in the
part of the state.
Threshing machines have been
busy the last three weeks in the ter
ritory around Lincoln and a large
of the new wheat has
been going directly from the field
to the elevators. Some of it is be-
ing stacked, however.

tigation.

low of Monona county, who says he

Husband Who Disap-

Fremont, Neb, July 23.-(Special
Telegram. Mrs. Mae H. Maxwell
and three children of Fremont will
receive the share allotted to the hus-
band and father from the estate of
Samuel Maxwell, former supreme
Judge of this state, according to a
decision of the Nebraska supreme
court.
Mrs. Maxwell's husband disap-
pcared in 1909. No traces were ever
found of his whereabouts and in 1918
Mrs. Maxwell instituted proceedings
for divorce.
Henry Maxwell of Omaha, a
brother and executor of the estate,
was made party in the suit, which
asked a share in the Samuel Max
well estate as alimony. At his death
Judge Maxwell left will directing
life interest to his wife and upon
her death the estatae was 10 be di-
vided among the children.
ny dIoWiiS Mis MdAWcii SHdie
in her father-in- laws estate a new
precedent was established in the line
of alimony problems. The decision
was first handed down by Judge F.
w. Button, of the Dodge county dis
trict court and is now affirmed by
the supreme court.
Henry Maxwell, a brother of the
absent husband and father, stub
bornly fought the sister-in-law's pc
tition. He objected to her claims in
the estate and to the divorce. Mr..
Maxwell filed objections to service
in Dodge county, but Judge Button
held that as executor of the estate
he was acting as an official within
the county. This contention was uo-
held by the supreme court

Broker Husband of
ThieUing Wife Sues
to Secure DiUOrce

Chicago, July 23.-Joseph S. Hell,
millionaire broker, sued for divorce
today from Mrs. Eta He'll. This
action was taken after he had made
good the 100000 she stole from
wealthy families here while posing
as a maid.
He also postponed the suit until
he was assured that she will recover
from the poison she swallowed last
week after she had been caught in
the act OF kidnapping her two chill
dren.
Mrs. He'll was arrested two
months ago on charge of theft
and it was found at the time that the
loot she had taken from more than
half a dozen families was valued at
almost 100000.
Il intend to do everything I can
or Mrs. He'll" the broker said today,
"but to continue as her husband is
impossible"

Mickey Denies
Blame for Work
On State Highway
Declares Quality of Materials
Is o. K.-County Engineer
Responsible for Guam
tity of Mixtures.

Lincoln, July 23.-(Special)-
Prof Clark Mickey branded as false
story printed this afternoon in
Omaha to the effect that results OF
tests of materials used in the Lin
coin highway had failed to meet
specifications.
Instead our tests showed that the
quality of materials used met speci-
hcations and that was the end of my
tasks.
THE tests made by me were ef-
fected through the use of chemicals
and it takes 28 days of chemical ac-
ton to complete the tests.
1T was my business to get SAM
pies of the concrete mixture every
day and put it to this test to ascer-
tain if the proper materials were
used, and every test proved the
quality conformed with specihca-
tions.
Test Not of Mixture.
However, as for holding me re-
sponsible for failure to ascertain
whether or not a sufficient quantity
of mixtures was used it can not be
done by the widest fight of imag-
ination. No chemical test can be
made successfully to ascertain
whether one, two, three or four
sacks of cement were used in every
"a cubic feet of concrete base. I did
ascertain whether the cement used
was the proper quality, but could not
determine the quantity of it.
"The quantity of cement used can
only be learned through the use of
the Iowa testing machine, which
George F. Johnson, secretary of the
department of public works, has sent
for. This machine will pull cores
out from the concrete already put in
the pavement and will test its resist
ance power. At the same time con-
crete made with a proper proportion
CT materials will be tested for resist
ance and the relative resistance of
the two specimens will determine
whether there has been one less sack
of cement in every "a cubic feet of
concrete.
Engineer Is Responsible.
"Mr. Johnson did not tell the
board of Douglas county commits
sioners that the quality of the con-
crete was poor. Tests had proved
the quality was all right. Johnson
did charge that the concrete he in
vestigated lacked one sack of cement
to every "a cubic feet.
Furthermore, despite reports to
the contrary, l am not responsible
for the quantity of cement used. In
vestigation of the quantity of cement
rests upon the Douglas county engi-
neer. l am responsible for the quail
ity only, and that's all l could or did
investigate"

HObOes Establish
Camp on Roof of
Chicago H0stlery

Chicago, July ga hobo camp
was found today on the roof of the
Congress hotel. Detective Sergeant
Moran followed tramp up the ho-
tel fire escape to see what business
he could have on the roof.
AS the sergeant swung over the
parapet he saw hundreds of men.
Some were sleeping, some promenad-
ing and some reading the papers.
This beats the parks" one of the
men told him. THE accommoda-
tons are swell. It's not so hot and
not so noisy as on the ground, and
besides it's little more exclusive
and uncommon"
IF it's exclusiveness you fellows
want" he told them, II know slick
