Veteran Nebraska Congress.
man Dies in Washington
After 20 Years Of Serv.
ice in House.
Noted for Homestead Act

Washington. July On. T. Kin
kaid, member OF the house OF repre-
scn.atives from the Sixth Nebraska
district. died here today.
The death OF the Nebraska con-
gresham occurred at Garfield hos
pital here and resulted from CON-
plication OF diseases from which he
had been i'll since early III May Flu
neral services will be held at O'Ncill.
Neb, his home.
In House 20 Years.
Congressman Kinkaid held an un-
u-ual record in Nebraska. He was
elected to congress in 1902 and was
reelected for successive terms un-
, ill., had he finished his present term,
he would have represented his dis
trict 20 years. Ups and downs Of
party politics made no difference to
"Unclc Nose" His candidacy rested
on personal characteristics and a
record of direct service to constitu-
ents who, it has frequently been said,
would elect NJ. p. Kinkaid to con-
gress no matter what might be his
party affiliation. He was, however, a
consistent republican.
The outstanding achievement of his
congressional career was the kinkaid
act, which permitted the homestead
ing OF 640-acre tracts and under
which great sections Of western Ne
braska were settled. Much OF this
land was in the Sixth congressional
district. which includes nearly half
the area OF the state, running west
from Grand Island and north OF the
Platte river. Thus many OF Congress
man Kinkaid's constituents were
known as "kinkaiders," because they
acquired their homes under the Kin
kaid act. kinkaid also had much to
do with irrigation legislation.
Born in West Virginia.
Congressman kinkaid was born in
Monogalia county. West Virginia.
January "a. 1854. He was graduated
from the University OF Michigan law
school in 1876 and practiced law in
Henry county. Illinois and at Pierre,
S. D., before coming to Nebraska in
1881. He opened law office. in that
year at O'Neill, Holt county.
In 1888 Kinkaid was elected state
senator. In 1887 he was elected dis
trict judge and this office he held
until 1900.
Congressman Kinkaid was Ma
SON. an Odd Fellow and an Elk. He
was never married. -

South China. refused General Chen
Chung -Ming's proposal that he head
a delegation from the eight southern
provinces to negotiate with the
Pekin government for the reunion of
China unless he first is restored to
the southern presidency from which
Chen drove him.
Gen. Chen's proposal to Sun, which
followed recent efforts to bring the
two southern leaders together again,
was in the form of a telegram from
Chen's headquarters at Waichow,
about 50 miles from Canton.
The message was addressed to w.
X. Chung, vice president of the Can
ton. Christian college. 1t suggested
that Sun proceed to Shanghai and
there call a conference of the eight
southern and central provinces of
China for the purpose of selecting a
delegate to carry on negotiations
with Pekin.
In the telegram Chen asked that
Sun be assured that the conference
would select the former southern
president as its representative to open
and that he would have
the undivided backing of the eight
provinces.

English Bench Bids
Farewell to Taft

London, July 6.-(By A. P)-
Englands bench and bar said fare
we'll to Chief Justice Taft last night.
The leading members of the Middle
| Temple, Britain's foremost training
center of lawyers, rendered him an
imposing testimonial in the ancient
hall where Shakespeare acted before
| Queen Elizabeth and where three
signers of the Declaration of 1nde-
pendence took legal degrees.
Those present included Ambassa-
dor Harvey, Home Secretary Shortt,
Lord Carson, lord of appeals; Wis
count Haldane, Lord Hewart, Lord
Chief Justice and Mrs. Justice Dar-
ling. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Harvey
sat in the gallery.
Lord Birkenhead. lord high chief
chancellor. who was POSTMASTER, re-
viewed Mr.. Taft's career, coupling
his legal accomplishments, sagacity
and state craft with those of John
Marshall and Joseph Story. Only
three Americans. he said, had prev
iously been honored by the Middle
Temple-Choate, Levering and
Davis.
The cheif justice was deeply NOV
led by the overwhelming reception.
He could not express the gratitude
he had in his heart. but realized that
this greeting was rendered him in his
capacity as representative of the
American people. He referred to
Great Britain as the great colonial
empire of the modern world: every
body knew the inestimable service it
had rendered oppressed and alien
races. England had shown that there
was such a thing as justice between
man an man, which is blind and
knows no favor.

Strikers Deny Claims
Workers Are Returning

Lincoln. July 6.-While it is
claimed by Burlington road officials
and Mike Shirk, president of the
Burlington Veterans association,
that many of the older men are re-
turning to work in the Havelock
shops of the company, union officials
here assert that many of these men
did not go on strike July l, and that
the report Of men returning to work
has been greatly exaggerated:
The union officials state that the
veterans who did not 60 out on strike
are tolerated by the strikers because
of the fact that most of them are
reaching a point in the company
service when they will soon receive
pensions. They state that these older
men arc N sympathy with the strike.
