Washington, Nov. 26.-Opposition
of the progressives to the organization
plans of republican leaders in the
house and senate began today to take
more definite form. Likewise there
was increasing evidence that the pro-
gressives and many democrats are de-
termined that any tax revision at the
coming session shall depart materially
from the program arranged by Sec
retary Mellon.
House progressives began a series
of conferences to map out their cam
paign for liberalization of the rules
and committee appointments while
senate progressive started a backfire
on the republican organization plan to
continue Senator Cummins of Iowa
as chairman of the interstate COM
merce committee and elect Senator
Curtis of Kansas. president pro tenn
of the senate.
Eighteen representatives from seven
states attended an all-day conference
of the house representatives at which
no definite decisions were
reached. Representative Nelson of
chairman of the group, an
nounced that the conference will be
continued daily until Friday when a
general meeting will be held for the
adoption of a formal program both as
to organization and legislation. Thus
on the eve of the republican organ

their demands in form for presenta-

Senate progressives have let Sena'

Printing company. en- trial here

forgeries. confessed to by former
County Clerk A. s. Allen. were in
ventions OF Aliens and not Guocher.
Defense attorney. Homer sullivan,
brought this out In crogs examining
Allen this afternoon. Allen had pre-
viously testified that Goueher had
suggested and begged him to put
through dummy claims for the
Omaha Printing company against the
county and that the warrants be
sent to Omaha to make up a deficit
on the company books caused by
Gouchers failure to turn over ap-
proimately $4,000 collected from Lin
coin county for supplies.
No Inducement Offered.
Allen testified that he issued three
fictitious warrants 10 cover Gouchers
alleged shortage without putting
through the dummy claims. Allen
said he was offered no inducement
by Goucher. He said that Goucher
asked him What do you want for
Christmas?" Allen previously testi-
fled that they had been friends for
many years and indicated that
Gouche had appealed to him as a
friend to help him out of his diff
culties.
Attorney Sullivan brought out testi-
mony to show that tie county owed
the omaha printing concern ap-
aroximately $500 at the time the
three fictitious warrants were issued.
Examination of officials OF the
Omaha company. kopp. secre-
tary. treasurer and manager.-showed
that the company reimbursed Lin

three alleged fictitious warrants a

staff Gorrespondent, The Omaha Bee.

Seward. Neb., Nov. 26.-In al court
room packed with curious onlookers,
Adolph and Julia Vajrt and their Is
year-old daughter, Abby, today began
their legal battle against sentence
of first degree murder charged against
| them, following the violent death of
Jerry Lana, the Vajgrt farmland.
| The day was consumed in securing
a jury and when the court adjourned
tonight Al jurymen had been exam
ined and the state and defense had
exercised IL of their Sc peremptory
challenges. The jurymen excused
| pleaded previous judgment of the
case and for a time late in the after
regularity that 1t looked as though It
would be necessary to summon addi-
tional talesmen.
The Vajgrts listened listlessly to the
interminabe questioning. The only
member of the family who appeared
to take interest was the 4-year-old
daughter, who for the most part sat
staring in wide-eyed amazement. Oc-
casionally she would browse on her
mothers shoulder but with the dis
missal of a juror and the summoning
Of another, she would rub her eyes
and again resume her childish scru-
tiny of the clerk as he swore in the
juror and as the attorney questioned
him.
Other Children at School.
The three other children were left
on the farm and today attended
school. The eldest son, Frank, trudg-
ing ,manfully away from the small
farm in charge of his two smaller
sisters determined to carry on de-
spite the tragedy that has overtaken
the elder members of his family.
Juror after juror hesitated when
County Attorney l.. II. McKillip
asked, would the fact that the muir
dered man is the father of Abby
yajgr1s unborn child influence your
decision. and at last Judge George
f. Corcoran interposed with the sug-
gestion that there would never be a
jury were McKillip to continue ask
ing the question.
Does the fact that two OF the de-
PENDANTS are women influence your
McKillip would ask and again the
juror would hesitate. Have you
formed any opinion that would pre-
vent your serving as an NEST jury
mari?" would be the next question.
With tiresome nomotony the reply
was yes" Would it take consider
able evidence to make you change
that oplnion?" A nod OF the head.
Were you to be called upon to give
an immediate decision on this case
could you do so?" Another affirma-
tive and Judge Corcoran would ex-
cuse the jury man.
Three Days TO Get Jury
Occasionally the questions would be
answered In the negative and the
juryman would be retained only to
be dismissed little later when the
state or defense exercised its right of
preemptory challenge. With such
difficulty In securing a jury II was
freely predicted when the court ad-
journed tonight that another two days
might be necessary before ~ jurors
suitable to state and defense could be
obtained.
