lowing Reports of Ruth

Lincoln, July 29.-(Special.)-
George Roster, state fish, and game
warden, opened a drive today on
game law violators in the sand hill
country, when he sent five extra
deputies to that country and an
nounccd he would send five more
next week.
1T has been reported that they are
shooting prairie chickens out there
now,' Roster said. This is the sea-
son that the young chickens are un-
able to fly any length and killing
them is not sport. 1t is cold-blooded
murder.
There are more chickens in Ne
braska this year than in the last 10
years and we're going to do every
thing possible to protect them. The
large number in that country This
summer no doubt is squirting hunt
ers into starting out before the sea-
son opens and before the chickens
are old enough to give them real
sport"
Roster is dividing the sand hill
country into districts and will appor-
ton certain counties to his deputies
who work in pairs. The deputies en-
played today are in addition to regu
ler deputies who are now in the sand
hill country.
"These men will remain on duty
during the open season as we'll as
now, Roster said, "and they have
been instructed to inspect hunting
camps during the season to ascertain
if more game is in camp than the law
permits. There can be 10 prairie
chickens and grouse in a camp at one
time and 50 ducks. Also we intend
to prosecute those found in camp
who have permitted game killed to
spoil"
The open season on ducks and
geese opens September l6 and closes
December 81. The season on grouse
and prairie chickens opens October l
and ends November l.

German Mark Falls to
l5T Cents a Hundred

New York, July 29.-Extreme de-
moralization was shown by German
exchange today, the mark falling to
l5H cents hundred, the lowest quo
tation ever recorded here. This rep
resented an overnight decline of al
most 2 cents hundred. The normal,
or prewar price of the mark was 25.S
cents each.
Disappointment over delay in the
settlement of the reparations ques-
ton. together with the troubled state
of the German domestic situation, are
believed to be responsible for the
further depreciation.

Prospects for Peace
in Rail Strike Brighter

Chicago, July 29.-(By A. P)-
The conference table stage of the
railroad strike apparently has been
reached and today, as the suspension
enters its fifth week, peace is in
prospect.
Confidence was expressed in rail
circles this morning that the next
week would bring about the long
hoped for resumption, and the begin
ming Of move toward normal in the
transportation field.
The settlement plan drawn up by
President Harding is to be con-
sidered at separate meetings of rail-
road executives and union officials
at New York and Chicago next
Tuesday and it was regarded as all
most certain that the meetings would
end the strike.
Details Withheld.
Details of the plan were still with
held today, but the president was said
to feel that they offered basis upon
which the two sides should be able
to come to an agreement.
After announcing that the general
strike committee of the shopcrafts'
unions would be convened in Chi
cago to consider the proposals on the
same day the rail heads meet in
New York for that purpose, B. NJ.
Jewell, leader OF the shopmen, left
Washington for Chicago last night.
apparently prepared to recommend
favorable action by the committee.
The spokesmen of the rail execu-
tives who have conferred with the
president indicated that the seniority
issue was a doubtful point in the
Harding proposal. but added that
the difficulty was by no means insur-
mountable.
Settlement Of Grievances.
While the presidents plan was not
made public it was learned from au-
thoritative sources that it embraced
settlement of all strikers grievances
except the wage question, which
would be submitted to the railroad
labor board for a rehearing.
Under the plan outlined the rail-
roads stand for recognition of the
rights Of men now at work would
be carried out. Union shopmen who
did not strike would be placed at
the head of the railroad seniority
lists.

Boehler Vindicated in
T. s. Court Contention

Edwin c. Boehlsr, United States
commissioner, was vindicated yester-
day in his contention that he was ad-
mitted to practice in federal court,
six years ago, in Hastings, Neb.
When the question arose, a week
ago, r. C. Hoyt, clerk of the federal
court, could find no record of his
admission.
Boehler wrote to the deputy clerk
at Hastings, who investigated the
record of that division and found the
entry, March s, 1916. By an over
sight at the time the fact was not
filed in the records of this division, as
it should have Been.

Mine Operators
Predict Early End
of Coal Strike
Those in Close Touch With
Fuel Situation Banking on
Return of Miners by
August S.

Chicago, July 2o.-(By A. P.)-
Coal men throughout the middlewest
regard the bitumnous strike as near
ing the end and express confidence
that an early resumption of union
production may be expected.
Jobbing markets today reflect this
view, which is supported by Presi-
dent John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers, and substantiated by
the withdrawal Of certain heavy con-
sumers Of industrial coal from the
present highly competitive markets
in the central field.
Those known to be in close touch
with the fuel situation, to some de-
gree already are banking upon a re-
turn of union miners to the soft
coal pits by August S, notwithstand-
ing conflicting or indefinite reports
from various quarters as to the exact
status of the strike. .s-
News from the Philadelphia con-
ferences between President Lewis
and eastern operators is to the effect
that powerful interests" have
brought great pressure to bear on
recalcitrant operators for a confer
ence with the workers leaders. The
report of the Cleveland federal re-
serve bank today declares that the
iron and steel industry is feeling the
coal shortage,
= A. wage agreement was reached at
Cincinnati last night affecting 5000

c. L. Jessup, first president of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Water
Users Association, rendered his res
ignation to the monthly meeting of
the directors of the organization, held
yesterday at Hariingen.
Mr.. Jessup announced his resig-
nation in Brownsville last night, but
refused to state at that time publicly
his reasons for the action.
Mr.. Pease, communicated with at
his McAllen headquarters by tele-
phone today stated that Mr.. Jessup,
in presenting his resignation at yes
terday's meeting, announced to the
board that he was not in harmony
with the policies of the organization,
and for that reason he believed it
best that he step out.
The resignation was accepted by
the board, Mr. Pease said, but no
action to fill the place will be taken
until the next meeting of the board,
a month hence.
Later The Herald again asked Mr..
Jessup for a statement Of the reasons
for his resignation, as it was stated
that he was not in harmony with the
policies of the organization. Mr..
Jessup, complying, said:
Il held to the point Of view that
we never could succeed in the con-
servation and canal project without
securing the cooperation of all the
interests represented in the Valley:
namely, the control approximately
two-thirds of the canal lines; the
various large land holding companies,
and the businessmen.
"Mr. Pease held to the idea that
some of the Valley interests were
antagonistic to the success of the
cause.
There has been a difference Of
opinion for the last several months
between Mr.. Pease and myself in
regard to the policies to be pursued
in the prosecution of the work, and
my action in resigning came only
after there was apparently nothing
else to be done.
After several months of trying
to work together it had become ev-
ident to me-" Mr.. Jessup added, that
we could not work in harmony, there
fore | felt it was up to me to resign.
The designations of some of the
other directors already rendered seem
to support me in my belief that we
