viewing stand and giving him
hearty handshake.
There were so many flags in the
pageant parade that loyal citizens in
the grandstands had plenty of exer-
else rising to salute.
A number of people, taking no
chances, lest they might fail to secure
place of advantage to view the
parade, brought their lunches with
them.
Men and boys sought to lead the
horses attached to the floats were
at a premium. Even the money of
fered to them for their services did
not seem TO entice them.
A isfortune occurred to the float
depicting Washington crossing the
Delaware" In some manner one of
the rear corners became torn off just
as the float was leaving the place OF
formation.
Omaha's police began preparing for
the big Ak-Sar-Ben parade and his
torical pageant at an early hour this
morning by forcing all car owners on
the line of march to discontinue park
ing until after the parade.
1t displayed John Lee Webster's
sense of historical fitness to have
Dan Desdune's colored band leading
the Emancipation float.
The boy scouts. aiding police in
keeping the crowd back, saluted the
flag on every occasion and didn't
hesitate moment to tackle the larger
boys who were pushing out on the
ropes.
Dizzy heights on skyscrapers main
tained by hundreds while the parade
was under way. indicated pulling
power Of curiosity.
Restaurants did thriving business
after the parade. Hundreds frightened
their belts and kept their places OF
vantage, TO rush to lunch counters
after the parade.

Here they Gomez A loud roar
arose from thousands of throats as
the first detachmen of cavalry hove
into sight. The faint strains OF a
military air were heard in the dis
tance. Now louder. and still louder,
as they approached. And now they
have arrived. They stop and play
a stirring march. Wild cheering and
hand-clapping from the crowd. They
move on. And now the Ak-Sar Ben
title float has introduced the parade
proper to the enthusing multitude.
Grained necks. Tiptoes. Soap boxes
and chairs from nearby soda parlors.
Any means at all to gain point of
vantage where one might witness this
colorful and inspiring panorama.
Windows in the buildings along
the street jammed full Of eager heads.
Men and women alike climb out on
the lodges and sit unmindful Of their
perilous position.
Here a bunch of small boys sit
on the roof of one-story brick
building, and call familiarly to the
many actors in this gigantic moving
scene. They jeer conemptously as

contempt for the little boy and girl

Chancellor Stresemann Either
to Form New Government
or Assume Absolute
Power.
Conflict of Partie S
BY Universal Service.


Berlin. Oct. 3.-The German cabi-
net rendered its resignation to Pres
ident Ebert tonight. 1t probably
will be succeeded by a new Strese-
mann cabinet, in which the socialists
will not be represented, but in which
the nationalists will be included.
The other alternative is a military
or business dictatorship which would
probably be assumed by DR.. Strese-
mann, and which would call for the
dissolution of the reichstag.
The government spent busy day
trying to make a patchwork quilt OF
the cabinet, bending every effort to
hold together the Stresemann coali-
ton, tattered and torn by conflict
ing issues.
Each Side Fears Other.
The direct cause OF the crisis was
undoubtedly the expose of the secret
military preparations of the national
istic organizations to put through a
"putsch," beginning with the attempt
of the black reichswehr" at Kus-
trim Sunday.
The right wing Of the peoples
party, OF which DR.. Stresemann was
the leader before he became chan
cenor, is greatly impressed with tho
danger of an attempted "putsch"
from the right radicals, and there
fore have been urging Stresemann to
give ear to the German nationalist"
and their program.
On the other hand, there has been
an intense conflict between the social
democrats and the bourgeoisie par
ties over the modification OF the
eight-hour law.
Result Of French Occupation.
There was a general agreement
that no patching up of the coalition

many parliamentarians have been ad-
vocating taking the bull by the horns
and carrying out the program out
lined yesterday OF establishing a bus
mess dictator for Germany, dissoly-
ing parliament entirely.
The internal situation Is made more
critical by the unrelenting attitude
of the French and Belgians in tho

One Agency
to Market
W heat, Plan
COOPERATIVE Backed by U. S.
Capital to Sell Europe Sus-
plus Grain Up Before
Washington.
PROPOSAL Is Held Sound
BY MARK SULLIVAN.


Washington, Oct. 3.-Help for the
farmer continued to be the outstand-
ing subject of the bulk of the visits
made to President Coolidge. either by
invitation from him or request from
the visitor, and of the administra-
tons activities altogether.
1t is plain that good many sug-
gestions have been discarded and
that no one suggestion has as yet
been definitely adopted. One gath
ers that President Coolidge has an
air of listening patiently and sympa-
thetically. of not feeling hurried and
of unexcited examination OF one plan
after another.
At the moment the plan most in
the foreground is an export corpora
ton to sell all the export surplus OF
American wheat through a single
selling agency.
The idea, which is still in course Of
change. seems to contemplate that
the capital for the corporation shall
be furnished initially by the govern
ment treasury, but shall be returned
to the treasury at the end OF the
transaction. The capital would be
provided by the same mechanism
that has already loaned some $780,
900, 900 from the government treas
ury to farm organizations through
their local banks, namely. the war
finance corporation.
Uses Half Of Capital.
This agency OF the treasury. which
was originally authorized by con-
gress to loan as much as a billion
dollars for facilitating the export OF
wheat and other commodities, has
never actually used as much as half
Of the authorization. There IL plenty
OF money available, the authorization
by congress already exists and on tho
government end there is no difficulty
about going ahead with the plan.
The real hard work involved will
lie in the immense and widespread
details of getting the farmers to or
ganize and cooperate, and arrang-
ing for the local banks and local
farm organizations to provide the
necessary guarantees to the govern
ment.
II appears to be the intention to
turn this work over to Eugene Mey-
er. jr, who as head of the war IL
nance corporation has had a large
and successful experience in this
general line during the last two
years.
Like every cooperative institution
whatever success attends the plan
will be due less to an inherent magic
in 1t than to the resourcefulness and
energy and business ability OF the
management Of 1t.
Orderly Marketing Assured.
There should be no illusion about
this plan making the present wheat
crop actually profitable to the farm.
ers or about preventing the farmers
from having some loss. The main
thing the plan can do is to bring
about orderly marketing of the ex.
port surplus. prevent American
wheat from being dumped on the
foreign market when there is no de-
mand for 1t. and save the American
farmers from the evil effect OF COM
peting with each other.

tatiye of the farmers and farm bank.

Sheehan, Ex-Grid. Star, Tackles
Girl Clinging to Moving Train
Former Villa Nova Athlete
Makes Thrilling Rescue at
Berlin Station After Dive
Through Air.

Thomas Sheehan of this city, who
several years ago slashed his way
through many formidable lines on the
football field and brought down his
target while he wore the colors of
Villanova or of Jim Thorpe's eleven,
put his football experience to pract-
ical use last night when he dashed
nearly the full length of the platform
in front of Berlin railroad station,
dove into the air. grasped d young
girl who was slipping from the steps
of a coach towards what seemed GER
tain death under the wheels of the
train, and brought her down to the
platform in safety.
Sheehan had just left one of the
rear coaches of the train at Berlin
depot and when the line of cars be-
gan to move he hurried around the
rear of the last coach for the side
track where the New Britain dinky
takes on passengers. The train had
moved but a few feet when the young
girl appeared at the door of a coach
and started down the steps Several
stopped to see if she would make a
safe landing, but as she was about TO
jump, the train ierked. causing her to
lose her balance. She grasped the
railing of the steps and hung from
the side of the train. The movement
of the train, gradually picking up
speed, carried her body toward the
side of the coach directly over the
steel rails. While scores looked on
too excited to act, Sheehan started off
on a mad dash, passed out the last
coach, came within a few feet of the
terror stricken girl. sprang into the
air, caught her about the waist and
in an instant had her on the platform
just a few inches away from the
tracks The girl tainted, but recover
ed shortly afterward. badly scared,
but otherwise none the worse for the
incident. Sheehan was not injured.

TWO STREET MURDERS In
new YORK This MORNING
"Roaring Forties" Scene of Killings
Guns, Razors, Knives and
BIackjacks Used.

New York, Aug. 27.-The Chelsea
section and 'the roaring fortles
were the scene of two spectacular
street murder early today.
Three men, one of them well
dressed, were running along Tenth
avenue at 10th street just after mid
night. A shot was heard but the
trio kept on. An automobile drove
up beside them.
Suddenly in the comparative quiet
of the deserted avenue a pedestrian
saw the well dressed runner turn to
the man on his right and shout:
Give me the gat. I'll finish
them" There was another shot and
the third runner dropped dead.
One man leaped into the automo-
bile and was driven off before police
arrived. The other slipped into a
side street. The victim has not been
identified '.
Razors, blackjacks and knives ap-
peared among a crowd at Eighth av-
enue and 43rd street on the dusky
edge of the theatrical roaring for
ties" several hours before daylight
all because a taxi driver muttered
something concerning two passing
women. In the ensuing melee, James
Flynn sustained injuries which caused
his death at Bellevue hospital.
