Indian Name Of Quaint Old city.

Indian Name Of Quaint Old City.
The Indians called a strait "Kebec,"
and the name was given to the site
Of the present city Of Quebec from
the peculiar con1guration Of the St
Lawrence river at that point, for the
river there grows narrow and from
Its deep waters rises the bold height
on which the ancient city stands. The
French Canadian still pronOunces the
name Kebec.

Spanish War Veterans
Have Over $5,000Due

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26.-(Spc-
ial.)-Efforts are being made by
officers of the United Spanish War
Veterans, department of Nebraska,
to distribute $1,000 which has been
lying in the state treasury for years
to pay veterans enlisting in Nebras-
ka for the time of enlistment to the
time they were mustered into the
service. The sums due these men,
who number approximately 1000,
range from 80 cents to $40.
The money was appropriated by
the federal congress many years ago
and at the time the appropriation
was first sent to Nebraska many
veterans collected amounts due
them. At the last session of the
legislature O. w. Meier, historian Of
the organization, put a bill through
empowering officers of the associa-
ton to apportion the remainder OF
the fund and pay it out on demand
by the persons entitled to compen-
sation.
Veterans desiring to ascertain if
they have any money due, should
write to Adjutant General Paul at
Lincoln.

Viviani Praises
Plan Of Harding
Proposal to Continue Confer.
ence on World Problems En-
dorsed by French Delegate.
BY Tho Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Preside1t
Harding's suggestion for a contin-
uation of international conferences
to deal with world problems as a
result Of developments at the Wash
ington conference was endorsed to-
day by NJ. Viviani of France, who
said it was not only high thought
but practical one.
"The initiative of President Hard
ing is of very considerable impor-
tance," he said. 1t is high thought
and practical thought. If this con-
ference is the beginning of other
conferences this is an historic mo-
ment. It shall not be for France to
stay away.
Humanity; for its happiness, must
solve problems of universal char
acter. Consequently, universally of
means must be used, If any great
nation should be missing in the CO.
hesion of ideas and in the examina-
ton of solutions that would make
them most difficult. The initiative
OF President Harding will allow the
world to take part.
what will people think in Europe
of the presidents idea? Are they
not going to think that it is in con-
'flict with the league of nations?
| answer no. America has decided
to ignore the league of nations. That
was her right. America, through
these conferences, will come into
contact with the rest of the world.
Let the world be united IN one way
or in another way"

Governor Asks
Correction on
Capitol Story
New York Post Printed lnac-
curate and Prejhdiced Ar.
ticle on Nebraska Build
ing, McKelvie Charges.

Lincoln, Nov. 26.-(Special,) -
Governor McKelvie in an open letter
to the editor of the New York Eve
ming Post requests correction of an
article under a Nebraska date line
alleged to be inaccurate, unfair and
prejudiced, relative to the building of
Nebraska's new $5,000,000 state
house.
"The real facts concerning the
building of the state house are so
we'll known to the people OF this
state that the commission feels safe
in saying that no reputable Nebraska
newspaper would have published,
originally, the article that was pub
lished in the Post" the governor
wrote. However, under the in
fluence Of its having been first pub
lished in the Post, it has been repro
duced in one Nebraska daily news
paper, which, it is only fair to say,
has been most unfriendly to certain
members of the capitol commission"
Details Inaccuracies.
Alleged inaccuracies in the Posts
articles charged by the governor
are.
That $4,000 in fees for architects
already have been paid out and
$4,000 additional is contemplated.
Original intent was for a 100000
state house and now an attempt is
being made to get $25,000,000 for
state house, when records show that
the legislature appropriated S5,000,-
600 for the building and everything
indicates that will be the total ex-
penditure.
Bonus Not Paid.
Charges of paying Architect
Goodhue a $l2,500 bonus absolute
ly untrue, and, if expenses added to
the fixed salary of Goodhue aggre-
gate more than 6 per cent of total
cost of building, Goodhue must work
on the customary 6 per cent OF total
cost of building.
The governor declares that the ar
ticle was not written by the Posts
regular Nebraska correspondent and
its authorship emanates from some
one making a studied effort to dis
credit the commission, the architect
and the project"

was necessary to place his wife in

by The Associated Press.

Mexico City, Nov. 2o-Revolu-

in Lower California are considered
of small Importance by President

questions relative to these reported

President Obregon asserted a
change of personnel n the national
agrarian commission would be made
soon. "The government agrarian
law" he added, 'is sound, logical
and workable"
Some local newspaper men asked
if it would mean the resignation OF
the minister of agriculture, Fo-
mento Villareal, but the president
answered in the negative.
He dealt warily with the Wash
ington conference and when ques-
toned whether Mexico would ac-
cept an invitation, if extended, to
participate in later sessions, he an
swcred that the form of such invi-
tation would determine Mexico's
acceptance" ;"
Under Secretary of State Fletch-

however, that Mr.. Fletcher quite
naturally has always viewed Mexico
through North American eyes

road improvements would be made
by the republic, particularly on the
