Chiro Body
Is Split In
Meet Here
Rivalry Between Graduates of
Two Schools of Chiroprac-
tors Results in Two As
sociations.
Palmer Leads Seceders

A split in the Nebraska chiroprac-
tors convention at the Hotel Castle
Monday resulted in the formation
of second state association.
DR.. Lee w. Edwards heads the
new organization, composed OF 50
seeding members of the old one. DR..
S. L. Ashworth is secretary.
Dr.. Fl. c. Crabtree, head of the
Nebraska College of Chiropractic at
Lincoln, heads the slate elected by
the Tegulars Monday to direct the
Nebraska Chiropractic association.
Rivalry Between Schools.
The seceders, meeting in another
room at the Castle. called themselves
the Nebraska branch of the Univer-
sal Chiropractic association. DR.. B.
]. Palmer, head of the Palmer school,
the largest chiropractic institution in
the world, and who is present at the
meeting, is identified with this group.
The fight resolves itself into rivalry
between graduates of the two insti-
tutions.
1t came to an issue when men,
bers OF the Crabtree faction proposed
to assess members to raise a fund
to prosecute chiropractors who are
practicing in this state without Ii
cCnse.
"Class Legislation"
This is merely move to disbar
graduates of the Palmer school,
whose course is only three years OF
six months EACH say members of
the Palmer Edwards faction. Grab
trees school has three-year course
OF nine months each, as the Ne
braska state law requires. But we
claim this law is unconstitutional. 1t
is class legislation and we are test
iug it now in the supreme court"
"Crabtrees graduates, themselves
exempt from necessity of passing
the state law, wish to protect their
own interests by keeping out all the
rev chiropractors they cam" said
Mrs. Lee Edwards
Enters Fray.
"The new association, strictly linz
tied to straight chiropractors, those
who use no electricity or other ad-
juncts, wish to conserve the rights
ci.the people, which is to have chiro-
rractic adjustments, if they want
them. Sixty-six counties in this
state are clamoring for such service,
yet these pioneers would prevent
rew clliropractors from coming IN"
DR.. Palmer himself entered the
fray by declining to give his clinic,
scheduled for yesterday afternoon, to
those chiropractors who oppose the
principles for which he and his
school stand.
Renounce Sponsorship.
Whereupon the regulars" re-
nounced sponsorship of his clinic.
Omaha graduates of the Palmer
school then stepped into the breach
and assumed responsibility for the
clinic and also for Dr. Palmer's lee
ture Selling Yourself" given last
night at Swedish auditorium.
DR.. Crabtree and other of the
regulars" returned to Lincoln or

River Still
Flooding at
Highest Stage in, History of
Platte Impending Head of
Burlington Leaves 10
Direct Activities.
No Flood in Loup River

Lincoln, June l4.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-E. Flynn, general superin-
tendent of the Burlington railroad.
left Lincoln tonight for Central City.
from which place he will direct
small army of men frantically endeav-
oring to build sufficient flood forti-
fications to save thousands of dollars
i'll bridges and property of the Burl-
ington railroad at Kearney, Grand
Island, Fremont, Schuyler, Central
City and Columbus. Before leaving
Flynn wired orders to haye watch
men placed or all bridges crossing
the Platte river.
AT Flynn's office tonight the
menace of the rushing torrents in the
Platte river sweeping eastward was
admitted The work of men from
various divisions of the Burlington
concentrated at these towns was be-
ing pitted against the rayages which
the unbridled floods from Colorado
were threatening.
Fear for Main Bridges.
Burlington officials were most ap-
prehensive of their bridges at Kear-
ney, Grand Island and Fremont
which carry main line trains across
the Platte river. The other points
are terminals and while the washins
out of bridges would discommode
the road it would not tie UP main
line traffic as would the destruction
of bridges at the main line towns.
Division Superintendent +. r.
Mullen, left for Grand Island today
to direct protective work there.
| George Z. Johnson, secretary OF
the Department of Public Works,
stated tonight that from present in
dications the crest of the flood would
reach Fremont in ~ hours.
Flood Travels Slowly.
To-day the flood was, travelling al
| the rate of eight miles an hour and
Fremont is 200 miles from North
Platte which was reached by the
crest today" Johnson said" "Tfs'
means, if the present speed is main
tanned, it will reach Fremont in "a
or Is hours"
Johnson admitted that the condi-
ton of the. flood on the South Platte
today was worse than he anticipated,
The only optimistic note in flood re-
ports received by johnson was as
surances from towns on the Loup
river that that stream was normal
and flood waters from it need not
be expected to pour into the Platte
at Columbus, as was feared for a
time today.

Split on Ireland Looms

Auditorium, Denver, Colo, June a.
Blame for the recent world war was
placed squarely on the shoulders OF
organized labor in Germany by
President Samuel Gompers in an ad-
dress to the American Federation OF
Labor convention here today.
Il hold, and | accept full response
bility for what | am about to say"
said President Gompers, that the or
ganized labor movement of Germany
failed dismally at the critical hour.
IF it had taken the situation in
hand it might have meant the de-
struction of few thousands, but it
would have stopped the war. The
failure OF men to act at time oil
crisis is faithlessncss to common
cause"
Dwells on Labor Attitude.
In his address which was re-
sponse to those of fraternal delegates
from Great Britain and Canada,
President Gompcrs dwelt upon the
attitude of the federation and HIM
self both during the war and since
during the period Of reconstruction.
w. F. Bush, fraternal delegate rep
fcsenting the Canadian trades and
labor unions, told the assembled del
egates that despite difficulties organ
lied labor in Canada was at least
holding its own. He reviewed the
incipiency OF the zone big union
movement and predicted "its early
death.
A resolution was adopted by the
convention urging congress to pass
immediately the Johnson bill pro-
viding for federal investigation in
to conditions into the Mingo county
strike zone in West Virginia.

the breach between the two factions
OF Irish syn1pathizers among the
: delegates was being made today at
the opening OF the second session OF
the 4lst annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
Advocates OF Irish freedom, it was
learned at mass meeting last night,
appointed a committee, which was
attempting to draft resolution that
would be satisfactory to both the eS-
treme and conservative groups OF
Irish sympathizers.
When this committee started to
work, T. J. Wind of Chicago, secre-
tary OF the labor bureau of the Amer
iean commission OF Irish indepen-
~Sence, served notice that two official
resolutions Of the Irish republic must
be incorporated in their resolution or
