Air Mail Budget
Included in i. S.
PostofficeB Bill
Appropriation Measure Il
Passed by Senate After
Heated Fight-$5O.0O0,.
600 for Highway Aid.

Washington, March 20.-The post
Office appropriation bill, carrying
S625,773,000, was passed late today
by the senate after a heated fight.
The measure carries sos, 800 900 more
than as passed by the house, $50, ,000,-
600 OF the increase going for federal
highway aid
The bill also carries provisions for
restoring to service the New York
Pneumatic mail tubes and for con-
tinuing the New York to San Fran
cisco air mail service. The vote OF
the tube amendment was SO to l9 and
came after a bitter attack had been
made Oh the proposition by several
democrats.
A fight centering around postofficc
appointments, originating early N
discussion of the bill, resulted just
before adjournment of the senate in
the introduction by Senator Har-
rison, democrat, Mississippi, of a
resolution calling on the president to
supply the senate with the number
os executive orders he has issued re-
moving postoftices from civil service
classification. The resolution went
over under the rules.
AS for the New York tubes, Sena-
tor Kellar, democrat, Tennessee,
claimed that the senate was giving
its approval to something that is
dangerously near a brazen steal Of
federal funds
Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, predicted another genera
ton would see the construction OF
such tubes for the transportation of
mail between great cities instead Of
in the more limited districts, such as
congested areas of New York.

Roads Cost State
A,l42,4S6 Since
Federal AidCiven
Highways of Nebraska Are
Generally in Better Shape
Than Those of Other
States.
BY PAUL GREER.

Drive cast, drive west, drive norti,
or south, Nebraska highways are
generally found in better shape than
those OF other states. There is. how
ever, no pleasure without pain, as
the monkey said when he kissed the
porcupine. These l,5l2 miles OF fed
eral aid roads have taken S4,l42.486
out of the state treasury since 1917.
An equal amount has been put up
by the federal government. Only
Texas and Minnesota rank ahead OF
Nebraska in this good road mileage,
and Iowa follows closely.
Just now there is revulsion OF
feeling against matching dollars
with Uncle Sam. There is also a
restless movement in many counties
against state supervision and control
of road building, together with
charges OF extravaganza and waste.
There is no reason why taxpayers
in the eastern part of the United
States should not protest against
the system of federal aid for high
ways. Consider, for example. New
York, which pays into the national
treasury more than onc-fourth of all
internal revenue. 1t does not re-
ceive back this proportion of federal
appropriations for good roads, but
western states come out ahead.
Apportioned by Area.
Before Nebraska entered into the
dollar matching game it was shown
that it would get back very favor
able per cent of what it paid into
the national treasury. These road
funds are apportioned on a basis Of
area, rural mail routes and popula-
ton, instead of, as the east desired,
by valuation. Distribution among
the counties of Nebraska is on the
same basis. Counties with many
roads and low valuation are help
ed in this way. Cherry county gets
10 times as much for road building
as it pays into the state road fund.
Douglas county, on the other hand,
does not receive quite as much as
it gives. When it is considered that

State Attempts
to Gust Juryman
Arguments Delay Final Selec-
ton Of Members to Hear
Arbuckle Case.

San Francisco, March 20.-At-
tempts OF the prosecution to remove
Juror Edward w. Brown on the
ground of bias and prejudice, despite
the fact that he had already been &C
cepted and sworn. featured the ses-
sion in the third trial of Roscoe c.
(Fatty) Arbuckle, on a manslaugh-
ter charge. A recess was called on
two occasions during the day on ac-
count Of the Brown matter, the first
to allow the defense to prepare an
argument in the jurors support, and
the second to allow the court to
make an independent investigation
at the conclusion of the defense and
answering arguments.
Assistant District Attorney Leo
Friedman, at the opening Of the ses-
sion, announced that the prosecu-
ton wished to exercise its last per-
emptory challenge on Brown. A
supporting affidavit stated that the
juror, grocer, had been twice pros
ecuted for alleged violations Of the
state pure food laws and that he held
prejudice against District Attorney
Brady, the prosecution officer. The
defense attorney, Gavin McNab,
answered that as the district attor-
ney was cognizant OF all the facts
he should have challenged Brown
before he was finally sworn, and
that it would be a violation of the
law to excuse the juror at this time
The court was under the opinion
that his decision, which is expected
tomorrow, will be somewhat of a
precedent. The Brown Development
halted the selection OF second al
ternate juror.

Prominent Men
Attend Luncheon
for Anne Morgan
Feminine 400" Also Turns
Out to Hear Plea for Finan-
cial Aid for Devastated
France.

Omaha's feminine 400" turned out
TO greet Miss Anne Morgan at a
luncheon given in her honor at Hotel
Fontenelle yesterday noon. Thirteen
men prominent in Omaha public al
fairs were seated at the speakers S
table. The balance OF the 400 rescr-
vations for the luncheon consisted al
most entirely OF women.
Miss Morgan, who is chairman of
the executive committee OF the Amer
lean Committee for Devastated
France, made an eloquent appeal for
moral and financial support for the
work the American committee is
doing in helping the people of France
rebuild their homes, re-establsh their
schools and reconstruct the war-torn
fields.
america Failing in Duty"
America is failing in the duty she
owes to France Miss Morgan de-
clared. "This aid l am asking is not
charity. 1t is but discharging i'll part
the great debt we owe her. 1t is easy
for America to forget, but France
cannot forget. She is living in bitter
memories and in the midst of her
ruins.
France is not 1nilitaristic. She has
learned a bitter lesson and she merely
wants to protect the rising genera
ton. She merely wants her allies to
stand with her and give her their
moral support.
Tells of Work in France.
Miss Morgan told briefly OF the work
American committee is doing in
nursing the underfed children OF the
devastated regions, i'll caring for
the sick in hospitals, in organizing
Boy Scout troops to foster the COM
.munity group spirit, and in establish
ing libraries and helping to restore
the fields.
Envelopes were at the places for
those present to make cash contribu-
tions or pledges to aid in the work.
"The American committee must
put in at least another year of inten
sive work in France" Miss Morgan
said.
John L. Kennedy. president OF the
United States National bank, intro
duced the speaker. Others at the
speakers table were: Mayor James
Dahlman, w. H. Head. Paul Kuhn,
Park Billings, Merle Taylor, E. D.
