cans. and others prominent in official
life a, the time as having peti,ioned
for the release in 1912 from the At
lanta peni,cn,iary Of Charles w.
Morse. the Department Of Justice
made public the record in the
Morse case, "as disclosed in
the official files" which indicates, the
statement said, beyond any ques-
ton that Mr.. Morse was released
upon the report of reputable physi-
clans and United States army sur
geons showing him to be suffering
from serious illness"
The release came" the statement
continued. ''as the elimination OF
probably the most remarkable public
demonstrations on behalf OF any fed
eral prisoner ever convicted in the
courts of the United States"
Notwithstanding the high charac-
ter of those occupying positions OF
responsibility and trust under the
government. who were among thou
sands signing the petition, the state

under attack in the senate by Sena-

charged that the Department OF JUS

shadow senators and representatives.
incorporated in the statement is-
sued late today by the Department

Overlooking with confidence and
enthusiasm, the Omaha trade exeug-
sion ended. No, one oi the more
than 100 business men would express
the sligh,es, doub, OF the improved
outlook.
From the first call in Wynoi at
8 III the morning. p towns on the
Chicago, ST. Paul. Minneapolis and
Omaha line were visited yesterday.
The route lay down the Missouri
valley. region great in buying
power.
Oakland. which boasts OF. ranking
trst in the world as a cattle feeding
center. was one OF the main points.
Public Improvements are in full
swing there. Eighty-two blocks OF
paving arc now being laid. A large
swimming pool is under cons,ruc-
ton. and employment as we'll as
business is good. At Thurston a
water works system soon will be
installed.

Opinions on Conditions.
Representative opinions from
some OF the representative Omaha
men back from this l.500-mile tour
of Nebraska. Iowa and South Da-
kota follow:
H. c. Nicholson, Vice President.
Packers National Bank: Financial
conditions show marked improve
ment. The liquidation in the past
six months has been really remark
able. Corn-fed cattle and hogs have
solved the problem.
George w. Sumner, Treasurer
Fairmont Creamery Company: My
survey of conditions in this territory
indicates a material increase in pro-
duction Of dairy and farm produce
over previous years. Experience has
shown farmers that dairy cattle are
most dependable source of income
during periods OF low prices. Herds.
accordingly. are being increased and
the quality of cows improved as rap
idly as financial conditions will per-
nit. The outlook is decidedly en-
couraging for better business i'll
creamery and allied lines.
E. H. Hoel, Secretary Carpenter
Paper Company: After having spent
week travelling through a good
portion of the rich Missouri valley
territory, one cannot help but feel
thankful to kind Providence for
being permitted to live and work in
such a favored country. This re-
gion, both east and west of the river,
certainly looks fine.
Optimism Is Noticed.
The thing that impressed me the
most was the spirit OF optimism that
prevails among the business men.
Conditions are gradually improving
and there are good times not far
ahead, | am certain.
F. S. Geogh, Secretary Paxton &
Gallagher Co.: Merchants generally
have taken advantage of the winter
and spring months for shaping up
their stocks. They are buying care
fully and selling along more conser-
vative lines, which tends to the we'll
being of the future. There is gen.

Move for Cloture
on Tariff Is Doomed

Washington, May 2S.-Although
the question still is open, it became
increasingly probable. after a con-
ference of republican senator's, that
the move to invoke cloture dur
ing consideration of the tariff bill
would be unsuccessful. With the
democrats regarded as solidly against
the proposal, an informal canvass on
the republican side, leaders said,
showed that a sufficient number Of
republicans were in opposition to
defeat a cloture rule in connection
with the tariff. .,..

service OF Thanksgiving.
These annual Thanksgiving services
are always most interesting and there
Is always a very large audience, Spe-

ice this year for two special reasons
In the first place this is the first un-

perintendent, and Charles l. Dawson,
attorney general While many calls
have been received urging the COVER
nor to call an extra session Of the
legislature to repeal the normal school
act Governor Morrow indicated that
court action was the most likely So
luton of the tangle.
Governor Morrow has received
many petitions from towns in the Big
Sandy valley asking him to take steps
TO undo the work Of the commission
which selected Murray and Morehead
as the sites for the two new normal
schools authorized by the 1922 genera,
assembly. Governor Morrow has the
matter under advisement and is no
likely to take action for several days
it was indicated here today. Attorne!
General Dawson is going over the mat
ter with view Of determining wha
legal steps are necessary to settle tn
controversy over the selection Of OF
ficers for the new schools.
At the meeting of normal schoo
commission in Lexington Saturda
Robert Green, former member of tn
state tax commission, was electe
president of the Murray school. TIL
state board OF education the same da
elected DR.. John w. Carr of the de
partment of education, a president o
the same institution. Both the com
mission and the board claim the righ
to select officers, according to mem
bers. and the question of prerogative
probably will have to be settled in tn
court.

IS QUESTIONED ON
LANUS' DEATH
Bromley Girl Now In Chicago To Be
Asked About Affairs of Chicago
Millionaire Found Dead
In Garage.

Miss Mabel Gray, 30, of Bromley,
KY, was to be questioned by Chicago
police Wednesday in the hope she
might be able to furnish information
about the affairs OF Handsome Joe"
Lanus, millionaire auto dealer, which
would open a clew to solution of his
murder in his salesrooms in Chicago
Friday night.
Miss Gray left Bromley for Chicago
Sunday morning to attend Lanus' fu-
neral Tuesday, according to her father,
William Gray. She is staying with a
friend, Mrs. David Altman, at 3705
y. st. Louis avenue, Chicago. Gray
said.
Miss Gray was idenetified by Ed
mund Lanus, the slain mans twin
brother, as the girl in black who was
overcome with grief beside Lanus' cas-
ket in the undertaker's rooms Tues
dy, dispatches report.
Mrs. Edmun Lanus' story to police
that Miss Gray had an appointment
with the dead man Saturday night OBJ
viously grew out of misunderstand-
ing Of the facts, Gray said. He said
his daughter was at home in Bromiey
Saturday night and went to church in
Bromley Sunday. She had not been in
Chicago for at least month before the
murder, he explained.
Chicago police thought Miss Gray
