England this afternoon asked the Lincoln city commission to investigate the purchase of a truck for the Lincoln fire department, made upon the recom- mendation of Public Safety Commissioner John Wright. England claims in his let- ter to the cofamission that the city was forced to pay $80 for an automobile not worth over $300 as & very liberal estimate.

Mayor Charles W. Bryan is brought in indirectly by Judge Bxgland, as having signed and approved the warfant for the purchase of the machine, although in- formed that it was not a first-class auto- mobile. Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wright en- tered vigorous denials. Mr, Bryan said the signing of the warrant was & merc formal matter as large numbers are pre- sented to him each week for signature. He sald he did not know anything about the automobile, MOREHEAD AND HITCHCOCK WILL BE GUESTS OF HONOR BEATRICE, Neb., Sept, 2I.—(Special)-- Governor J. H. Morehead and Senator Gfibert M.
