Is
Opposed toU.S
Aid Projects
Congressional Delegation Is
Urged in Resolution to OPP
pose Further Joint Ex.
penditures in State.

Lincoln, Jan. 28.-(Special. Fol
lowing the lead of the lower branch
of the legislature, the Nebraska
senate today went on record as op-
posed to further extension of the
program Of federal aid funds, and
identically the same resolution which
passed the house was given approval
in the upper chamber.
The resolution calls upon the mem
bers of the Nebraska delegation in
congress to oppose further attempts
to extend aid for various projects by
joint federal and state tax levy.
No Opposition Shown.
There was very little discussion of
the resolution in the senate ard the
measure went through without any
opposition.
The senate, with several members
absent, did very little today beyond
clearing the decks for speedy action
next week when the principal meas
ures set forth in the governors call
for the special session will be con-
sidered. The big appropriation bill,
with the reductions agreed upon in
the house, reached the senate and
was referred to the finance commit
tee, of which Senator B. K. Bushee
is chairman.
Protest Cut in Funds.
Adjutant General Paul of the Ne
braska National Guard and Chair
man H. G. Taylor Of the Nebraska
State Railway commission each ap-
peared before the committee, asking
for a reconsideration of the action of
the house in slashing funds devoted
to these activities. Adjutant Gen
eral Paul said that the cut agreed
upon by the house would seriously
hamper the activities of the guard
and prevent the organization of a
new regiment of artillery. Chairman
Taylor said the railway commission
would be compelled to give up some
of the investigations which it is now
making if the, appropriation was not
restored.
Chairman Bushee said the COM
mittee would have the bill ready to
report out by Monday afternoon,
when the senate will again convene,
adjournment having been taken un-
til that time.

Already Laying
Election Plans

fore Record Is Submitted
for Senate Elections.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Jan. 2S.--The 1922
campaign to elect a new house Of
representatives and one-third OF the
senate, and thereby test the con-
fdence of the country in the Har-
ding administration is already under
way.
The republicans are pointing with
pride" to the accomplishments of the
administration in its first year, while
the democrats are viewing with
alarm" the republican record and
loudly calling for the reputation of
the Harding regime.
President Harding and the. repub-
lican leaders in congress are striving
to round out a completed program
of legislation and administrative re-
forms that will command the un-
questioning endorsement of the cleo
torate. There. is no possibility of
the republicans losing control of the
senate in this election, but they are
prepared for the usual "off year" re-
duction of the majority in the house
of the party in power and their chief
concern will be to prevent this re-
duction from touching the vanishing
point.
Would Hamper Legislation.
Loss of the house would put
crimp in the legislative program OF
the Harding administration and be
regarded as damaging to the pros
poets Of republican success in 1924.
Ohio, the presidents state, will be
the great spectacular battle ground
of the campaign. The democrats
regard conditions in Ohio particularly
promising, not only for achieving a
reputation of the administration.
but for developing a presidential can
didate of their own in the process.
Senator Pomerene, democrat one
of the ablest members of the upper
house, is candidate for reelection,
without opposition in his own party.
He will be formidable candidate
for even the ablest available repub-
lican in Ohio to oppose. If he wins
he will become at once a leading
candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for president in 1924. The
Pomerene campaign was inaugurated
at a democratic love feast at Trails
End, former Governor Cox's home at
Dayton, last Wednesday.
Fess May Seek Senate.
Representative Fess probably will
be candidate for the republican
nomination for senator and Repre-
sentative Burton, who formerly was
i'll the senate, also may run. If both
come out it is not unlikely that
Walter Brown of Toledo will jump
into the race. Governor Davis has
announced that he will not be cam
didate and Representative Longworth
is not likely to run.
Senator Pomerene led the fight to
unseat Newberry and intends to
dwell on the question of enormous
campaign expenditures in his canvass
for reelection. He made much of

200 DEAD I'm THEATER DISASTER
Death Penalty for
Burglary Is Urged
by Brooklyn Judge

New York. Jan. 2s.-The death
penalty for men convicted OF rob
cry in the first degree was urged
by Judge Franklin Taylor in the
county court in Brooklyn.
Speaking from the bench. after
sentencing Sylvestro Murato 20
Sing Sing for 10 to 20 years for
robbery. he said:
There are minor offenses In
which the court can take measures
looking to the reformation OF the
guilty. but when il comes 70 rob-
berry committed by armed men the
interest of the community is pre-
dominant and the interest of the
convicted criminal cannot be con-
sidered at all.
"The limit should be given In
such cases as a deterrent. II the
existing penalties are not suffi-
cient, the death penalty should be
provided for such crimes. The
rate at which such crimes are
taking place is intolerable. Every
day there are new set Of them.
There should be no mercy in such
cases."

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Scorcs were
injured and probably several killed
when the entire roof of the Knick-
erbockcr motion picture theater at
Eighteenth street, N. W., and Co.
lumbia road collapsed under Il
weight OF snow tonight. One hour
after the accident occurred the po-
lice estimated that at least 800 were
still under the wreckagc.
Many women who escaped ran
screaming TO the street and several
tainted while the injured were re-
moved on stretchers and taken in
ambulances TO hospitals, private
homes and nearby clubs.
The theater, which accommodated
close TO 1000 persons. was said to
be comfortably filled at the time and
the roof, as it fell, imprisoned many
under the mass of wreckagc, the
balcony collapsing also. while con-
crete pillars fell over to add their
weight to the debris under which
the wounded lay groaning.
Begin Rescue Work.
The fire department was called by
FIVE alarms and police reserves were
rushed to the scene, the rescuers i'm

the imprisoned. Get Rich Quick

ner J. r, Nevitt said his FIRST guess
was that there had been 800 killed.
Several hours would perhaps elapsc,
however, it was indicated, before a
definite estimate of the situation
would be available.
Marines Assist Police.
Police, firemen and volunteers were
assisted in the work of rescue bv
marines who have been stationed
here during the armament confer

danger of the walls collapsing on
them. While they worked relatives
of those who had been at the per-
formance. stood bareheaded in the
snow fearfully awaiting word of their
loved ones.
No warning was given as the walls
crashed, the roof breaking in on the
heads of the audience with a noise
like thunder, crashing seats and oc-
cupants as it fell. 1t was more than
an hour before the rescuers, using
gas torches to cut through the ac-
cumulated mass of steel and con-
crete, reached the section where it
was believed most of the dead and
injured were.

of Nebraska land along the Missouri

The meeting was attended BY
members of the rivers and harbors
committee, Congressman Jefferis,
and number of interested observ-

Missouri. "If the erosion is allowed
to continue, this fertile land will be
a thing of the past said Woods. He

Farmers, railroads and cities,

more than $4,000 was spent in

work along the river"
This certainly beats the use OF

Of that 5000 represents profit to the

More poultry is being raised and
shipped than ever before. In the last
two months five cars OF chickens
have been loaded here, which means
the farmers, or the farmers wives,
who care for the hens, received
$4,000 for this product. Although
this is not the season for heavy egg
production, from 100 to 200 cases are
being shipped from this station each
week. This is bringing III from
$1,000 to $1,000 a week.
Nothing Wasted.
Some who criticize the farmer, as
is done in some towns, declare that
in the buoyant times of imitation the
boys didn't think it worth while to
crawl under the barn or hunt in out
of-the-way places for eggs, but that
now not one is allowed to be lost. In
the same strain is the allegation that
at one time it was not considered
worth while to milk. 1t is apparent
that nothing in the country now IS
allowed TO go to waste.
Hogs furnish another source OF
income and gain now. The Burling-
ton station agent says that three
cars OF hogs are shipped to market
each week. When it is considered
that a carload of porkers brings
