Hearing on Phone Co.
Raise Request Held

Loup City, Neb., May 29-(Spe-
cial. "A hearing was had here on
the application Of the Northwestern
Bell Telephone company to the state
railway commission for permission
to increase its rates for business
phones with county right from $35S
to $40 month This increase has
been strongly resisted by the busi-
ness men. Evidence was introduced
and the case submitted to the COM
mission.
1t was the contention of Loup
City people that since other prices
are being reduced, in many cases to
one-fourth of what they formerly
were, that no increase should be
made. The company based its case
on the fact that the local plant has
been rebuilt recently.

Rain in Perkins and Keith
Counties Big Aid to Wheat

Ogallala, Neb., May 29.-(Special)
Rains here have aided the fall
wheat and put it in excellent condi.
ton. Farmers of Keith and Perkins
counties report that the wheat is in
far better condition than it was at
this time last year. From all ap-
pearances the yield per acre will be
as large as it has been the last three
years. Estimates are that wheat will
average Il to 2S bushels per acre
this year. Fully one-half the wheat
raised in this section last year is
still in the farmers bins. At the
time of the high prices they could
not get cars to ship, but since the
gradual return of better prices the
last week, many farmers are shipping
a portion of their crop.

Stillman May
Face Libel Suit
In Name of Son
Millionaire May Be Called on
To Prove Charges of H.
Legitimacy Against
Child.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May %. Declaring
palms which James A. Stillman de-
clines to cross with gold, on the
ground that their owner, Guy Still
man, is the son of a half-breed Ca
madam backwoodsman, may yet dou-
bic into sturdy fists to deal the bank
er's millions costly blow.
Slander is an expensive luxury
when indulged in by wealthy peo-
pie and John E. Mack, guardian for
the 3l-months-old target of the null
timillionaire's charges, is known to
be considering the advisability OF
instituting a suit for character de-
iamation against Mr.. Stillman.
Prominent attorneys who have
consulted precedents and studied
New York laws celebrated for the
protection they offer helpless babie,
involved in litigation, are of the
opinion that unless Mr.. Stillman can
prove that the father of "Fifi's" in
fant really is the half-breed. his al
legations to this effect may be made
expensive ones.
The mere assertion by a husband
that his wife's children are not his,
is not worth the muscular exertion
requisite to signing the charge. Even
a pronounced resemblance between
the child an dthe object of his jeal-
Gus suspicious, has little weight in
courts. Something more decisive and
certified is necessary to convince
judge that the stigma of illegitimacy
must be borne through life by the
baby.
The denial yesterday by Mr.. Still
mans attorneys that they had under.
taken negotiations looking to a set
tlement out of court, was fatty con-
tradicted when Mrs. Stillman made
public letter from her counsel, John
B. Staunchfield, in which was out
lined an offer that had been made
a month ago.
This contradicted the tentative
terms already announced, with the
further stipulation that Mrs. Still
man leave the country, if not for
five years, at least for one. To this
proposition, she returned blunt re-
fusai.

Romance Grows
From Events of
Chester Capture
Nebraskan Who Aided in Re.
taking Prisoner Will Wed
Phone Operator He Met
In Kansas City.

Kansas City, May 29. - Especial
Telegram.) Out of the events sur
rounding the Denzel Chester murder
case a romance has blossomed. 1t
became known last night that DR..
Martin Hansen, stalwart veterinarian
of Broken Bow, Neb., who, with
Ernest Hammond, deputy sheriff of
Custer county, Neb., recaptured Ches-
ter after his plunge from the train
last November, is to be married soon.
The bride is to be Miss Eleanor
Ballard, 815 East Ninth street, this
city. Miss Ballard admitted the en-
gagement last night, but declined de-
taials, referring inquirers to DR.. Han
sen.
Miss Ballard and DR.. Hansen prob
ably never would have met had it
not been for Chester. DR. Hansen
formed one of the guard party that
brought Chester back to Kansas
City last November. The veteri-
marian, in wide sombrero khaki suit
and leather puttees, the same pic
turesque clothing he wore when he
saw Chester walking along the
country road near Broken Bow sew
eral days after the escape, stopped
at Hotel Westgate. While at the
hotel he met the young woman, a
telephone operator there.
DR.. Hansen was the object of much
curiosity as he walked along the
streets here, crowds following him.
The Law Enforcement association
gave him and Hammond a check for
81, 500 reward for the recapture of
Chester.
DR.. Hansen, still wearing SOM
brero, khaki suit and leather puttees,
arrived here again last Monday with
several witnesses from Broken Bow.

Song Writer'S Strike
Causes Rag Famine;
Publishers in Market

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, May 2o.-Here's some
news for milk wagon drivers, hotel
clerks and soda fountain boys, not
to mention the entire feminine popu-
lation of the middlewest.
Get out that song that you sadly
tucked away in the attic trunk. The
music publishers want it. They're
looking for uncut diamonds among
the song scribblings OF the amateur
one fingered piano players.
There's a ragtime shortage.
It's all due to the songwriters
strike. Sure, didn't you know they
had a union? They went on strike
a month ago when the publishers
announced they would pay only 2
cents copy on all sheet music, in
stead of the wartime luxury OF 5
cents.
Mort Harris, representative OF a
New York publishing house, is here,
offering his service as the Colonel
House in the peace negotiations be-
tween the song writer's and the pub
fishers.

that the temperature of an oven is

dough to rise quickly and become
