Omaha Case to Test “Loan Shark” Law ¥, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Qct. 9.—(Special.)~An Oma- ha suit to test the validity of the “loan shark” law passed by the last legisia- ture has been appealed from the dis- trict court of Douglas county to the Nebraska supreme court. The defendant is Jules Althaus, who is charged with loaning without taking out @ required license with the secretary of etate. His alleged victtm was Alonzo H. has returned | |is under arrest at Under Arrest On | Forgery Charge TECUMSEH, Neb., Oct. 3—George F. | Dorsch, formerly of Sterling stands in- | diged by the grand jury of Johnson | county on a charge of forgery. Dorsch | Hudson, Colo., and | Cierk J. P. Kelley, as deputy | sheriff, started for him today and he | will be brought back here to face trial. ) | Qounty Dorsch was in the drug business at | Sterling and, followin? the alleged wrong doing, he disappeared. The forgery is alleged to have been committed in 1912, when Dorsch secured credit at the Cit- izens'’ National bank of Tecumseh, in the renewing of a note in the sum of $4,300. A brother of Dorsch, J. I Dorsch, a Johnson county farmer, was supposcd {to have signed the note with the al- | leged offender, but he denies the slg- | nature. In funds secured in bangruptcy | proceedings in the Dorse matter a small | amount has been pald on the note. | Other indictments brought the last day the grand jury was in session Included one against J. H. Brillhart, a farmer, charging the supplying of intoxicants to an habitual drunkard, Brillhart alleged to have furnished home-made wine, and another is against E. E. Catheart Tecumseh druggist, charging the illegal sale of intoxicants. The intoxicant com- | plained of was a stomach bitters. All told the jury returned fifteen in- dictments, involving some eight men, and the criminal docket of the district | court is swelled accordingly. Judge J. B. Raper proposes to hold court late in | the month and try some of the cases | in case the parties to trial are ready at | Winslow, 1707 Cass street, who he is alleged to have charged 300 per cent interast after taking assignment of his salary and his pension. Althaus charged that the act is illegal in that it Icgislates by class, putting & fine on professlonal lenders. A similar law passed by the 1913 legislature was knocked out by the supreme court on the same ground. Thus far W. C. Frampton of Lincoln is th¢ only loan agent in the state who has faken out the required license. SEVENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR MISSIONS (¥rom a Staff Correspondent.)

SCHOOL GIRLS UNDERSTAND WAR BETTER THAN BOYS (Correspondence of the Assoolated Press.) LONDON, Oct. i.~Lord Kitchener seems to be the only cabinet minister who has impressed the imagination of the English | children, according to an examination of fifteen-minute impromptu essays written by 3,081 school children at the instance of Dr. C. W. Kimmins of Southwark. The war lord was constantly referred to but not a single other minister was men tioned !

Curfously | enough, the advance on Paris and the retreat from Mous made little impression on the children.

The German emperor sald, ‘I'll be avenged,’ and hence the war." A boy of 12 wrote , “The advantage of the war Is that the men have learned to knit;" another boy wrote: “The main disadvantage of the | war is that girle must remain old malde | because there will not be any men left.” GREAT BANKS OF BERLIN 00 EXTENSIVE BUSINESS | (Correspondence of the Assocluted Press.) | BERLIN, Oct. 5—The great banks of Berlin appear to have had fairly satis- factory results during the first half of the current year.

An Eesen bank attached to the Deutsche bank, had even larger earn- inge than for the first half of 1914, The Berliner Handelsgesellschaft, an- other of the big institutions of the city, also did comparatively well, the reduced earnings from brokerage operations and | stock and bond flotations having been counterbalanced by Interest receipts on | loans and discounts.
