LINCOLN, Xeb., Aug. 13. Terrific
heat scorched Nebraska today with
torrid winds blowing The average
temperature since Sunday has been
over a hundred. Many sections in
the corn belt ure practically destroy
ed. The drouth, and the tendency of
farmers to sell veal rather than beef,

In the event this move Is taken the

CONGRESS GOING TO
STAY ON THE JOB
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Congress
will remain in session "until snow
flies" and if necessary prolong the ex
tra session until the regular term be
gins In December to dispose of the
tariff and currency legislation.
This was the decision of the demo
cratic caucus of the senate last night
which adopted a resolution declaring
that "congress should proceed to con
sider and determine legislation' con
cerning currency and banking Imme
diately following the passage of the
pending tariff bill."
Not Bound on Currency Question.
The resolution finally adopted was
a composite effort which would not
bind the senate democrats to any set
currency policy.
"The action of. tho caucus," said
Senator Simmons, chairman of the fi
nance committee, "means that we arc
ready to stay here until snow files to
carry out the work before us. I be
lieve that it will facilitate action on
the tariff, because the minority may
know just what our purpose Is.
"This will serve notice on the re
publicans that we can stay here just
as long as they can and that we wilt
prolong this Into the regular session
If necessary."

JAIL HERE
AFTER STABBING
AT HELIX
Bar-room Fight Ends in Cutting Af
fray in Which Jack Hess, a Bar
tender, is Wounded.
FARM HAND IS ACCUSED
James Slinerly is Taken lit; Custody
und Is Brought to Pendleton
Quarrel Starts Wlieu Bartender At
lemj to Put Him Out of Saloon
Injuries Not Believed Fatal.
As the result of a barroom fight at
Helix last night, Jack Hess, bartender
at the Taylor saloon, Is suffering from
two wounds Inflicted by a knife in the
hands of James Simerly, a young farm
employe, and Simerly Is under arrest In
this city awaiting the action of the law
upon a charge of assault with a dan
gerous weapon.
According to the story told over
the long distance from Helix, Simerly
had been drinking and became en
gaged in a quarrel with another man
in the barroom. Hess, it is said, step
pod from behind the bar and, taking
Simerly by the shoulder, told him to
get outside whereupon the latter
struck him in the side with a knife.
Hess then knocked him down but re
ceived another stab in the leg after
which he succeeded in subduing his
assailant. ,
The first stab punctured the right
lung of Hess and the other severed
a nartery In his leg. He bled profuse
ly before the flow of blood was
checked. He was taken to a room In
the hotel and his injuries dressed. It
Is not expected that his injuries will
prove very serious.
Marshal Saunders of Helix arrested
Simerly and brought him down In an
automobile today. He declares he can
give any reasonable bonds and is try
ing this afternoon to have the bonds
fixed so that he can get back to the
William Potts ranch where he is em
ployed. His version of the story dif
fered but little from that received
from Helix. He states he had been
drinking and, was quarreling with an
other man when Hess stepped between
them. "He struck me." he said, "and
I don't know what made me do it, but
I struck him twice with my knife."
Simerly is a brother of the farmer
of that name who operates a ranch
near Helix.
RIOT QUELLED BY
PORTLAND POLICE
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 15. Dif
ferences between the old established j
union of longshormen and the newly
created body caused a riot in which
200 participated. The police dis
persed the mob before any bodily
damage was done beyond bloody nos
es and black eyes. Members of the
older organization declare the new un
ion is composed of industrialists bent
on creating strife.
900 SOLDIERS ARE
GUARDING MINES
NANAIMO, Aug. 15. Nine hun
dred militiamen occupy the strike area
at Nanaimo, Ladysmlth, South Wel
lington and Cumberland. The center

PENDLETON HOPES
TO GREET LANE
Though Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane will spend three
days in Oregon it ia not yet known
whether he will make a visit to Pen
dleton and the Umatilla reservation.
It seems reasonably sure he will make
a stop at Hermiston to view the West
Umatilla project but the local com
mittee is completely In the dark as to
any visit here.
In order to ascertain the secretary's
intentions Leon Cohen has written to
C. S. Jackson, who will entertain Sec
retary Lane in Portland, asking him
to learn as quickly as possible if a
visit can be mado to this place. Mr.
Jackson is to wire regarding the mat
ter as soon as he can secure the need
ed information.
If the secretary is to stop here ar
rangements for his reception and en
tertainment will be carried out by a
committee recently appointed by the
Commercial Club and of which Col. J.
H. Raley Is chairman.
If men were as ingenious In finding
the ways and means to carry insur
ance as many of them are to frame
excuses for putting it off, many a
widow and orphan would have a dif
ferent tale to tell.

acceptance of his resignation as a
result of the president's rebuke. It
was authortiv'ely stated that such a
request will be refused. The presl

matic service until October It will bo
the most effective way to enforce si

MEAT HUE
BOUND TO HIT
UNITED STATES
Situation is Critical, Declares Dr. D.
A. Ramsay; Chief Inspector of
Bureau of Animal Industry.
t
DROUTH IS RESPONSIBLE
Conditions In West and Southwest
Hasten Crisis Stringent Kales
Against Importation of Cattle May
Bar Meat from Other Countries
Remedy Being Sought.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ' 15. That
the United States not only faces a
famine in domestic meat but the
stringent rules against Importation
may bar meat and cattle from other
countries necessary to fill the needs,
was the declaration of Dr. D. A.
Ramsay, chief inspector of the fed
eral bureau of animal Industry, who
declared the situation is critical. The
drouth in the west and southwest,
he said, had hastened a crisis which
had been approaching for years. At
the same time he asserts that conta
gious diseases in livestock have devel
oped in Argentina, the Indies, Aus
tralia and New Zealand and other
sources of supply.
Ramsay said: "The department of
agriculture has inspectors in these
counties studying conditions In order
to formulate an entrance inspection
regulation for dressed meat and live
stock. Much talk is heard of free
meat to relieve the stringency. I
don't forsee that result. Dressed beef
now carries a ten point duty and even
If meat were free it must meet the
department's inspection rules.
"Argentina. the greatest source of
supply, does not fulfill the depart
ment's regulations now. The drouth
in the middle west is most serious. It
means that Mexican grass fed cattle
in the southwest, which heretofore
have been driven into middle western
fattening corrals, now will have no
haven."
He estimates the corn crop will not
be more than 50 per cent normal.
