Meanwhile, Attorney General
Daugherty conferred at the capitol,
first with Senator Borah. chairman
of the senate labor committee. and
then with Mr.. Cummins. the discus
sions involving the possibility OF
legal action in both the railroad and
the coal strikes, although the attor-
ney general stated afterward that no

president of the American Federation
Of Labor, issued a statement calling
upon the government to open direct
negotiation" between union chiefs |
and employing corporations both in |
transportation and coal mining, and
suggesting that the "helpless and de-
funct railroad labor board be set
aside in the matter. -
Find Seniority an Issue.
Senators Cummins, Watson and
Kellogg during their visit to the
White House, told the president, they
had found the seniority issue the chief
obstacle to settlement of the railroad
strike, but also indicated that the
leaders Of the striking shopmen were
also demanding that a new federal
board OF mediation be set UP to con-
slider transportation labor controver-
sizes. -...
Railroad executives. the senators
reported would not reinstate return
ing shopmen in the service positions
they formerly held, even should the
strike be called off. because they
claimed nearly 100000 men had been

the Chamber of Commerce and B.
Brewer. general manager of The
Omaha Bee, also were on hand to
see that the girl delegates received

despair to the heart of any rouge
salesman. With them came groups
of friends, frankly envious, but with
all happy over the journey which
the girls are about to take.
Presentation Informal.
'If all the other delegations are as
fine as you girls, it'll be a wonder
full, most wonderful thing" ex-
claimed Mrs. McMullen. "The Amer
ican Committee for Devastated
France should rejoice and so should
France"
There was nothing formal about
the little presentation reception in
the mayors office. Much eager chat
ter, happy laughter and now and
then a sober remark, which showed
the girls, for all their eagerness for
the long journey, realize that theirs
is mission of kindness and charity.
And now, with the strife and COM
petition of election in the back
ground, the girls are. the best of
friends. Miss Irene Rice of Alliance
was received yesterday morning by
the other girls with open arms. She ar
rived in Omaha only Thursday, but
10 minutes after meeting the others
she was orr Of them and won by
them. Or perhaps they were won by
her, with her demure manner and
eager eyes-what matter?
Scroll Presented.

lin signed the credentials, which
later will be signed by long list
of European notab1es, including the
president Of the French republic. Mr..

B. Dom, head of the Omaha delega-

While all three parties to the re-
cent conferences in Washington
the government, operators and union
seemed satisfied that the situation,
as it ! now stands, was hopelessly
deadlocked. a new move for restora-

seen in the resolution introduced in
the senate today by Senator King,

cial tumble.

New York, July 21-Allan A.
Ryan, generally regM. led as one OF
Wall streets most spectacular oper-
ators during the war boom" period,
and the son Of Thomas Fortune Ryan,
from whom he has been estranged
for years, went bankrupt today, list
ing liabilities at $32, 2,435,477, of which
$27,806, ,984 are secured claims, and
his assets at $643,533.
His voluntary petition in bankrupt
cy, which comes as a startling climax
to one of the stormiest financial ca
reers of the present generation, indi-
Gates the wiping out of a fortune va
riously estimated from $5000,0OO to
$30,0O0,00O.
Wall street, which began to count
young Ryan out as soon as he was
expelled from the New York Stock
exchange on June %, 1920, follow
ing his sensational, corner" of Stutz
motor stock, was nevertheless shock
ed by the immerNe amount of liabili-
ties the young financiar had assumed.
Makes No Comment.
Neither Ryan nor his attorney,
George F. Lewis, would make any
comment on the bankruptcy proceed
ings, beyond stating that "the sched-
ule tells the story" The schedule lists
the assets and liabilities of Allan A.
Ryan, personally, and the firm of
Allan A. Ryan & Co., of which he
was president. -" ID
Ryan's greatest exploit was his
sensational corner of Stutz motor
stock which, with his resultant expul-
sion from the stock exchange, is held
by his friends to have been directly
responsible for his financial ruin. In
the early part of 1920 stock of the
Stutz Motor company, of which
Ryan was. then president and a d.
rector, began to undergo perplexing
market fluctuations. Before many
weeks had passed, Wall street woke
up to find that an apparent corner
existed and that thousands Of shares
had been sold short" with no pros
pect of covering"
. Stock Taken Off List.
Ryan and his associates are alleged
to have bought $1,000 shares Of the
stock for themselves during the
month of March, and to have used
the alleged corner to force up the
price Of the stock until it reached
1891 share. On March 81, trading
in Stutz Motors was suspended and
an indefinite moratorium was de-
clared, in which there could be no
calls for delivery of shares. Later,
at the request of Mr.. Ryan, the stock
was stricken from the list.

In the transmission there are also

amount of oil used depends to same

Some manufactures recommended

so as to reduce the loss in power.
