Arriving at Norfolk a few minutes behind time because a water tank rope broke the siren whistle, the party put on the big march of the day and visited friends In that eity for more than an hour. The Norfolk News, published by W. N. Huse & Sons, lssued a special edition of the poper con taining the Omaha news and a big boost for the Boosters.

His testimony rather had to do with James F. Bendernaegel, the refinery cashier, and Ernest F.

The government, it s believed, has not yet shown its full hand against Hetke. Little of the evidence has pointed directly the way of the trust secretary.

They propose to file com- plaint with the atforney general of tho United States alleging an illegal combin- ation In restraint of trade. All of the Missouri river cities with the exception of St. Louls were represented in the meeting. There was littla of dis- pute In the meeting, but the steps pro- posed and the movement to give them financial backing grew weaker as the meeting progressed.
