TOlUn Sells POWer
Line and Cuts Taxes

OMAHA, June 2.-Taxes can be
reduced. Barada, a village in
Southeastern Nebraska, has DEM
onstrated that by cutting its tax
levy of 10 mills to mills.
This was made possible in part
by a profitable business transac-
ton which has just been con-
cluded by the village. A year
ago it borrowed $4,000 to con-
Struct an electric distributing sys-
tenn and a high-tension line
to connect with the Nebraska
Iowa Power Company's lines at
a neighboring village, from which
it purchases current. The other
day it sold its property at a
profit of $1,160.

I heard the cries of the mob outside the jail here. Their yells of 'sletis get Powersl Let's lynch him!' Came to him through the cell win- dows and precipitation broke out on his face. He paced his cell nervously.
 At the height of the mob attack early Sunday, when deputies kept the crowd back only with free use
 of tear gas bombs and the threat
 of machine guns. the defenders of the jail found themselves faced with an internal mutiny. Prison CTS threatened to break open the jail doors and allow the crowd to get Powers. They were. herded
 back to their cells by officers. The prisoners hostility, it was said, was directed toward the killer chiefly because he was accused of cheating them at poker his first day at the jail.
 A constant stream of automo-
 piles passed Powers home yester- day and occupants booed and
 missed. It was reported his wife,
 Mrs Lucia Powers, and sister, Miss
 Eva Belle Strother, supposed to be living there under technical arrest on the promise not to leave town
 had gone away. One member of the mob, John
 Martin, 50, a barber, was to be arr
 raigned today on charge connect

 The war debt situation was fur ther emphasized by word from Geneva that the League of Nations finance committee this week would recommend immediate acting look ing toward revision of interna- tional debts and separations.
 A trend toward bi-metallism- use of both gold and silver as standards of currency-was con- sidered by some observers as an- other possible outcome of the Brit ish governments action.
 Of the worlds supply of monetary gold, 65 per cent lies in fortress like vaults in this country and France while other nations find it difficult to maintain gold reserves. About half the world total, $5,- 015,000,000 (billions), Is held by the United States.
 The expectation here is that the pound sterling after a period of ad- justment will become stabilized at a somewhat lower value that its gold par of about $4.87 and then be begged" This was the course followed by France. which a few years ago stabilized the franc at around four cents, less than a fourth of it's pre-war gold value.

While Mayor Hayes is not seeking the post it is understood that certain democratic heads in Connecticut would like to see him at the helm, realizing that he is a capable and popular leader. Mayor Hayes re- cent victory in the democratic pri- rsaries has elevated him even more in the estimation of the state leaders.
 It has been reported that no steps to pick the state chairman will be taken until the spring. However, this report is unofficial and it is known from a reliable source of information that if Mayor Hayes would consent to take the chairmanship the state central committee would be called into session immediately to take action.
 Mayor Hayes is known through out the state, not only due to his standing in Waterbury as the head of an economical democratic goY- ernment, but also due to his sert- ice in the Connecticut legislature. He is now a member of the com mission in charge of the comple- tion of the new state building in Hartford.

 pay more sterling and naturally must pass 1t to the bakers, who in turn will pess 1t to the public.
 This means that Britons would have to pay much higher prices for anything imported. The same argument applies to war debts"
 Britain was forced to suspend the gold standard, Sir Josiah said, lowing to a run on the Bank Of England which has to be stopped at any cost, simply because we have no more gold"
 Suspension of the gold standard from the viewpoint of the man in the street, Sir George Paish saiG, means that Great Britain is no longer prepared to pay her debts in gold.
 "The consequences, may be very grave, dependent primarily upon the attitude of France and the United States" Sir George continu- ed. "If they do not become alarm ed, it is unlikely that the pound will depreciate much. Contfarily, if the United States and France try to sell sterling at any cost due to alarm and lack of confi- dence in Britain, the likely result is that the pound will depreciate considerably"

in the person of either of the two named above.
 As for the rest of the democratic ticket, the present incumbents, save for the dropping of one com- missioner on the board of educa- tion, made mandatory by the new charter, are expected to be renom- mated.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary this morning emphatically put the lie to the report being circulated that at the town convention Town Clerk Dora A. Egan will be de- prived of renomination. It has been reported in various circles that Mrs Edward Bradley, widow of the late Superintendent Bradley, would be handed the nomination.
 Such reports are entirely un- founded" declared Chairman Crary today" and are being circulated in my opinion in an effort to weak en the democratic party. Miss Egan will be renominated by the town convention, just as she has been in past years"
 With this report out of the way it appears that everything will be clear sailing for the democratic convention with the exception, of course. of the task of naming the nominee for city clerk.
 Mayor Hayes will be renominated as will the rest of the chief cleo tive officers of the administration now holding office under his ad- ministration. No changes will be made on the aldermanic board, either, it was said this morning.
 Following tomorrow nights conventions, which will get under way at 8 o'clock, plans will be made for a series of rallies at which the candidates will speak on the issues of the campaign.
 The republicans have already ar- ranged for a series of neighbor- hood rallies, as stated before. To- morrow night a rally will be held at the home of Mrs George Crocic- chia, 229 Robbins street. Wednes- day night the home of Mrs Harry Dow will be the scene of another rally. Tomorrow night, also, re- publican workers will gather at the home of Robert Smithwick, IA Elmwood avenue, and the Italian Women's Republican club will sponsor a rally at g. O. p. head quarters week from tomorrow night.
