overlook tuition for pupils within the
district who may be attending high
school next year when making up

trict," said Doctor Bryan.
Doctor Bryan also called attention to
the fact that grade schools in the state
cannot teach high school subjects to
the detriment of the lower classes

Danger toCity
From River Rise
Believed at End
Waters Reach Sixteenth Street
After Break in Dixie, But
Are Expected to Re-
cede Today.

Inhabitants of the low lands oi
northeast Omaha watched the rising
flood waters of the Missouri river
apprehensively yesterday and pre-
pared to move. Last night, however,
it was apparent the danger period
had passed.
Water rose slowly yesterday and
it was reported waters from the
river had backed into Carter lake.
This proved an error, however, and
residents of the bottom lands now
believe the water will creep no
farther inland.
No further damage to homes is
expected. Neither is it believed that
the waters will create the havoc they
did last year. Last years flood came
overnight while the high waters now
have crept in slowly.
The only great damage done By
the water has been to crops of truck
farmers.
A second dixie, at Ninth street and
Ellison avenue, on which gangs of
workmen had been laboring franti-
cally to shut out the waters, broke
at 7:30 yesterday morning. The wa
tiers reached Sixteenth street at
Redick, Kansas and Nebraska ave-
nues, but stopped there.
M. V. Robins, head of the weather
bureau. predicts that the flood will
begin to recede today. According
to official measurements by the
weather bureau, the Missouri river
here rose only half a loot in the
"a hours ending at yesterday
morning.

Willing To Do Battle

Detroit, June 2o.-Fifty delegates
to the convention of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War invaded the socialist national
convention shortly after noon today
and warned the socialists that the
veterans are ready ito fight again to
defend the flag against sedition, dis
loyalty and treason
Ralph Horr of Seattle, who led
the invading veterans, told the So
cialists that advocates of force would
be met with force and invited the
radicals to step outside if they
wanted to fight for their beliefs.
Horr quoted from printed reports
of the remarks OF ]. Lcuis Engdahl
to the general effect that his section
of the party would fight mot as 100
per cent Americans but under the red
flag of international socialism"
II hope these reports do not repre-
sent the sentiments OF your conven-
tion," Horr said, "but if they do we
have come to tell you that it is our
intention to deal with these people.
We have had occasion in Seattle to
use machine guns to stamp out dis
loyalty, sedition and treason, and
those guns can be used again"
Cameron King, socialist delegate
from California, replied in behalf of
the socialists. "We appreciate the
sacrifices the disabled veterans of
the world war have made" he said;
I'VE understand the impulses that
drove you to that sacrifice. At the
same time we have made sacrifices.
We did net believe when war was
declared that it was just war and
because we so believed many Of our
comrades have been imprisoned. As
citizens we claim the right
Of free speech and free assembly and
we are going to stand on those
rights"
The visit of the veterans was made
without disorder. After the talks

Chicago Tribuae-Om Bee Leased Wire
Washington, June 29.-President
Harding pledged himself today to dc
everything in his power to procure
immediate passage by the senate OF
the veterans bureau bill as an emer-
gency measure.
Representative Sweet of Iowa,
author of the bill passed by the
house to end the abuses of soldier
relief due to haphazard legislation
and unco-ordinated agencies, called
at the White House and informed. the
president of the pressing need OF
G.nmcdiate action on the legislation.
Mr.. Sweet described the plight OF
thousands of ex-service men who are
being inadequately cared for because
of the lack of government hospital
facilities or are awaiting relief de-
layed by the red tape of the ill-or-
gan:zed system. The president told
Mr.. Sweet there is no legislation OF
more immediate concern to him than
that to reorganize the soldier relief
agencies and end the abuses from
which the ex-service men are suffer-
ing. H has recommended such leg
islation in his message to congress
and had been gratified by the action
of the house in passing the bill for
the veterans bureau.

Mr.. Harding expressed the hope
that the senate would not delay ac-
tion on the measure and assured Mr..
Sweet he would do everything pos
sible to expedite the legislation.
Senator Smoot of Utah. chairman
of the subcommittee in which the
Sweet bill is pending, is the key to
the situation in the senate. Upon
him rests the present responsibility
for the length of time that will be
consumed in putting the bill through
the senate.
Senator Smoot has not called a
meeting of the subcommittee to
consider the bill up to date.
Il don't know whether | can get
the members of the subcommittee
together this week." said Senator
Smoot. "And there would be no OBJ
jcct in calling a meeting until we
are ready to hold hearings of the
American Legion representatives
and others whose advice we desire.
The hearings cannot be held before

Tariff Bill
Introduced
In House
Text Of Permanent Measure
Made Public for First Time
No Explanatory State.
ment Made.
Huge Revenue Expected

| Washington, June 29.-The adj
ministration's permanent tariff bill
was introduced today in the house
and for the first time was made
public.
No explanatory statements accom-
panied the introduction OF the meas
ure, as heretofore has been CUSTOM
airy. and no official estimate was
made OF the revenue it is expected to
return.
Unofficial estimates by members
OF the ways and means committee,
however, placed the expected return
as high as $700,000,000 year. The
Payne-Aldrich law. in the normal
prewar years, produced little more
than $300,000,000 a year.
Examination OF the bill shows that
in some cases the rates proposed are
higher than corresponding rates of
tie Payne-Aldrich law, while others
are correspondingly lower.
An estimate of how the whole bill
compares with the Payne-Aldrich
law would be possible only through
detailed study by tariff experts.
because the schedules of the new bill
are, in many cases, not framed in
parallel with the schedules OF the
Payne law.
Large Free List.
In comparison with the Under
wood tariff law OF the Wilson admin
istration, the new bill removes many
articles from the free list, although
il leaves a large list free of duty, ifl-
cluding print paper, wood pulp, leath-
er, harness and agricultural imple-
n1ents. 1t raises the duties on the
great bulk of imports already being
taxed and has made no notable
additions to the free list.
Comparison of the wool schedule
with schedule X of the Payne-Al-
drich bill, over which bitter fight
was waged in congress, showed ma
terial reductions. in number of inT
stances. In the items of hose and
gloves, the duty fixed by the conf
mittee was 80 cents pound and Is
per cent ad valorem duty in asso-
citation, while in the Payne bill the
rate was a. cents a pound and 60
per cent ad va1orem. Clothing, as
fixed i'll the bill, carries 20 cents
pound and Is per cent. as against
A cents pound and so per cent i'll
the Payne measure.
Knit Fabrics Shaded.
The same degree of shading was
made by the committee in knit fab
RIGS, at rs cents pound and 20 per
cent ad valorem against the former
republican rate OF 50 to 40 cents
pound and so to SIS per cent ad
va1orem.
Republican members of the COM
mittee declared that the rates OH
wool were much below the Payne
Aldrich schedule. Democratic men,
bers of the committee did not have
access to the bill until late today and
they were at work tonight in an ef-
fort to find out just how it COM
pared.
In the rush to get the bill to the
house, the committee had no time
to submit a report. but it is subject
to change, it was said by rcpub-
lican caucus.
The most important change made
at today's meeting was turn-abou'

Alliance Not to
Be Resigned Now
If Pact Is Renewed at All 1t
Will Be Little More Than
Shadow of Present
One.

London, June 2o.-(Canadian
Press.)-The Anglo Japanese alli-
ance is not to be renewed in its
present form: it has already been
made abundantly clear. although the
discussion of the treaty by the con-
ference OF British premiers has just
begun.
While Arthur ]. Balfour and
Lord Curzon, the only members OF
the conference thus far who have
dealt with the subject, used due
diplomatic caution in their speeches,
according to information which may
be regarded as authoritative, they
left clear impression that while the
British government would like to
have some form of understanding
with Japan, it is net inclined to con-
tinue the present purely military
agreement.
Inasmuch, therefore, as Premier
Meighen of Canada and Premier
SHUTS of South Africa will strongly
urge against an alliance of any kind,
but will advocate British-Amer-
ican- Japanese understanding instead,
the clear prospect is that if the alli-.
ance is renewed at all it will be little
more than a shadow of its former
self.
Premier Meighen prepared fer to-
days conference stated case
against the alliance, which, j. is un-
derstood, will be circulated in the
conference as confidential docu-
nent.
General Smuts Of the union of
South Africa, who is to follow, will
support Premier Meighen and will
in all likelihood attack the whole
foreign policy of special alliances
and will urge. instead, mutual un-.
derstanding with nations through
moral and intellectual sympathy.
