British Paper Asks' If Blacklist Worth Price of U. 8. Love l London, Sept. 7.—Commenting on the amendment -to the revenue bill passed, by the United States senate Tuesday night empowering the pres- ident to retaliate against mnterference with Ameriéan commerce the Man- chester Guardian says that although those ‘who see in it no more than a flourish having a special virtue on the cve of election may be right. “never- theless we should do well to note two_things: “First—These reprisals are directed against the allies and primarily against ourselves; second—they are popular in America.” The Guardian considers it is not generally.realized here how strong a, sentiment has been aroused through the United States by the blacklist dpohcy and interference with mails and asks “If the foreign office is convinced these practices of ours are so useful as to counterbalance,the weakening of American ‘sympathy they. involve, or that they cannot be modified so as to meet American ob- l Jections without impairing any utilities they may have for ourselves.” Fatal Auto Accident In Yards at Union Nebraska City, Sept. 7.—(Special Telegram.)—John Wilson, 35, was fa- tally injured and Vincent Schreiner, 17, was dangerously hurt in an auto- mobile accident at Union this after- noon.

HALF OF THE LAND vAL[m'Make Trip to Lincoln in Trai R S o® By A. R. GROH. You wouldn’t think that a lot of people in Omaha are benefiteq by the federal rural credits act. But they are. A short visit to the offices of Harry | Pearce, register of deeds, and Harry Counsman, county assessor, revealed some astonishing facts. The rural credits act, alias the “farm loan' bill,” provides ways and means for farmers to borrow money from the government. They can borrow any sum from $100 to $10,000 for periods from five | to forty years. And ‘the federal farm loan banks (one of which we expect to get to grace our fair city, as you doubtless know) cannot charge the farmers more than 6 per cent. interest. Without giving the two columns of fine print which comprise the text | of the act, let us hasten on to divulge | the result of our investigations in the offices of the two Harrys hereinbe- fore mentioned. We discovered that numerous peo- ple in Omaha own little tracts of land around the city, in Douglas coun- ty. Some of them live on their land and go to and from work in the city by street car or automobile or, per- chance, bicycle. | These May Borrow. All these people are entitled by the rural credits act to borrow money from the government to the extent of half the value of their land and one-fifth of the value of the perma- nent improvements thereon situated. And outside of residents of Omaha the figures in the offices of the two Harrys are astonishing in regard to the number of acres of farm land situ- ated in Douglas county. How many would you guess. Well, there are 178,350 acres of farm land in this county outside of Omaha’s limits. When you remember that 640 acres make a square mile you real- ize something of the size of the Doug- las county farm area, It would make a strip one mile wide and 279 miles long. o o Tiis tand without its improvements is valued at the sung little sum of $15,826,775, or $88.75 per acre. Includes Low Lands. “You must remember,” says Mr. Counsman, apologetically, “that this includes some poor bottom land that pulls down the total valuation ma- terially.” ” Still, $88.75 an acre for land without its improvements isn’t so bad, .eh? U “And The improvemerits ‘on this lagd are worth an additional $1,572,775. Under the provisions of the rural credits act, therefore, Douglae county agricultural land is “good for” a loan of $8,227,942. ; Just ‘how much use Douglas county farmers will make of the federal farm loans is problematical. Real estate men say there will be little demand for the government loans unless they put the rate of interest very much lower than 6 per cent. “The new act seems-to me unwork- able, in this part of the state at any rate,” said Harry Reed, the abstract man. “There is considerable for- mality about getting the loan and nu- merous restrictions on the use to which the money is to be put. Rate is Low -Now. “Money is being loaned on first class Douglas county land at 5 and 5% per cent, and some even as low as 4% per cent. The government banks can hardly beat that.” One of the attractive features of the federal loans is that they are paid off by “amortization.” It's the same thing as the well-known installment plan. The installment plan is a gQod thing, though it has come into disrepute in recent years by people who used it to buy plush albums, crayon portraits and many other nonproductive arti- cles. When used by a farmer in paying off money which he has invested in agricultural equipment that is produc- ing wealth the installment plan is a fine thing. By this “amortization” or install- ment plan a farmer who borrows $1,000, for example, can pay it off in twenty years by annual payments of $80.24. These twenty payments make up the principal, $1,000, plus the inter- est, $604.81.

Lincoln, Sept. 7.—(Special)—Three thousand or more Omaha people | helped to swell the crowd at the state fair today, coming down in trains and | automobiles. The attendance was not quite as large as yesterday, but there was still enough to crowd the buildings and evidence the fact that interest in the state fair has not abated. In the county exhibits the eastern district showed Pawnee first with a rating of 1326; Douglas second with 1099; and Lancaster third with 1095. In the central district Fillmore was first with 1330; Franklin second with 945, .and Kearney third with 835, In the western district Scotts Bluff was first with a marking of 882; Lin- coln second with 700, and J. .R_van.of Red Willow county was third with a showing of 640, beating the exhibit of his own county by about 200 points.

President C. E. Cameron of the Iowa state fair was a visitor at the fair today and after going over the grounds said to The Bee, “I tell you Nebragka is in a class by itself.” President Cameron was enthusiastic over’ the exhibits and could hardly say enough in praise of the fair. Visitors Gratified. Major E. R. Campbell of ermont, past national commander of the Sons of Veterans was a visitor also at the fair. Major Cambell has been in the employ of the government at Wash- ington for 35 years until recently and is making a lrifi over the country. He thinks Nebraska is a wonderful state and was most agreeably sur- prised at what he saw. Ex-President Joseph Roberts of Fremont, at the head of the state fair last year was taken ill yesterday and taken to a sanitarium. This afternoon he was removed to his home in Fre- mont. Nothing serious is expected, but it appears that he has not entirely regained his usual health since his severe illness several months ago, and as he is one of the live wires of the state fair, overestimated his strength in an effort to do his share' in help taking care of the work. The Ainsworth band, under the di- rection of A. W. Scatterwood, has been furnishing good music to the delight of all. This afternoon the band gave a concert in the mechanic building which brought many ealls for encores. Rest Room for Veterans. An invocation for the care of state fair visitors was started this year when L. W. Garoutte acting for the Lincoln camp of the Sons of Veterans established a rest room and emer- gency hospital for the care of old soldiers and their wives who might have to have the care of a doctor. One place was fixed up at the head- quarters of the Woodman Circle where cots were prepared and a nurse looked after the afflicted. This was in charge of three Sons of Veterans, W. H. Smith, state auditor, L. W. Garoutte and P. A. Barrows. The other filacc was at the agricultural hall where the tired and sick were taken care of by W. J. Blystone, O. /. Bell and Mr. Gifford, all old vet- erans. Jack Mathews, another mem- ber of the Lincoln camp, furnished an_ambulance, The state fair attendance today*was 50,330. This makes a total of.171,730 for five days. Last year, with seven Rock Island & Pacific railroad near Apache, forty miles east of Douglas, | early today were being trailed by a| sheriff's posse, organized immediately | after the holdup. The attempted rob- | bery was a complete failure. The bandits, after six attempts to | abandoned the job %d disappeared | on cow ponies. The passengers were | not molested. One shot was fired at the mail clerk, as he closed the door and locked himself in the car. | Two of the robbers boarded the ten. der at Apache, covered the engine crew with revolvers, and after the first three cars were detached were joined by four companions awaiting at a camp fire nearby. Increase Widows’ Pensions Washington, Sept. 7—A blll giving to widows of officers or enlisted men who served in the civil or Mexican wars or the war of 1812 and who have reached the age of 70 years, pensions of $20 a month instead of the present $12 a month, was passed today by the senate. It already has passed the house. Widows of civil war soldiers dropped because of marriage to an- other person are restored to the roll by the hill J i days, the attendance was 180,713, so that the attendance toomrrow, the last day of the fair, will only have to be 9,000 to equal last year's record. Presidert Wilson ]§ Signs Shipping Bill ‘Washington,Sept.7.—Today Presi- dent Wilson signed the shipping bill. It authorizes government control of a corp(vratinn or corporations with cap- italization of not more than $50,000- 000 to buy or lease ships and put them in trade if they cannot be teased for operation to private capital. Peace League Plans Speaking Campaign New York, Sept 7.—A conferepce of the officials and field secretaries of the league to enforce peace, of which William H. Taft is president, opened here today with a vote of planning a speaking campaign, to be- gin immediately after election day as the initial step in a nationwide movement for the formation of an ar- bitral league of nations after the war, It is- proposed to send out enough speakers so that every school district in the country will be visited, here today that he fabricated the evi- dence on which his wife whom he married in Paris secured a divorce from him in San Francisco a few days ago, He said he did this because he loved his wife, and did not wish to stand in the way of her happiness, “She made fun of everything she saw in this country, of the Statue of Liberty; of the New York sky line, of the peaple, of the woriderful reception my mother gave for us when we artived at New York, and she even made fun of me,” he said, “After I had manyfactured evidence on which my wife was to get her di- vorce, she went back to Paris, but returned 10 San Francisco and_began the suit there in order t¢ disgrace nie. She had my letters published and new pictures taken of me for the newspapers. But I love her as no man ever loved a woman and may send her some money.” Heynemann came here three months ago and has since been em- ployed in designing a number of elaborate buildings for this and other western Nebrasga cities. Mahon Addresses British Trades Union Congress Birmingham, England, Sept. 7.— American and other foreign delegates today addressed the forty-eighth trades union congress, representing 7 nearly 2,000,000 working men, now in session here. William D. Mahon of Detroit, president of the Amalgamat- ed Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, a delegate of the American Federation of Labor, pre- sented the American standpoint re- garding the propised labor and peace congress after the war, He said: “The American labor leaders asked only for a call to be sent out to the workers of the nations, They did not say that they would not participate unless both Germany and its allies were present.” Delegate Simpson, a Canadian, de- clared that Canada had accepted the proposition and he regretted the atti- tude of rejection of the plan by the workers of the mother country. The congress gave an enthusiastic reception to the declaration of the American delegate that the workers in America generally sympathized with the cause of the entente allies, because they thought it represented right and liberty. Sixteen Alleged Members of Lima Mob AI’_G_} Indicted Lima, O., Sept. 7.—Sixteen alleged members of the mob which stormed the Allen county jail here last week, in an attempt to lynch Charles Dan- iels, a negro, and tortured , Sheriff Eley until he told where the prisoner was held, were indicted today.

FEW ACTS OF VIOLENCE New York, Sept. 7.—A strike was inaugurated on the subway and ele- vated lines and several surface sys- tems of the Interborough Rapid Transit company today, but up to noon the city appeared only slightly affected. Union leaders, who demand abro- gation by the company of the so- called “master and servant” contracts binding the employes not to ask wage increases for two years, claimed that 9,000 men had walked out, including 4,000 on tl&:ubww and elevated sys- tems. Traétion of’i&qh asserted not more than 2,000 men‘had quit and that with the aid ‘of strikebreakers the company was maintaining normal schedules on subway and L. “Green Car” most Affected.” The “Green Car” system, operated by the New York Railways company, was chiefly affected, apparently not more than 30 per cent of these cars running. Except in Manhattan and the Bronx boroughs no railway lines were affected. Double Pay for Men Who Stay. The New York Railways company announced that its recent agreements with employes were abrogated effec- tive today and that the work had been begun of - signing individual con- tracts, The Interborough announced that its men who did not strike will receive double pay until further no- tice. _Throughout the districts affected little disorder was reported, although in Harlem and on the East Side ,here were 4 few minor disturbances. Several instances of elevated trains being bombarded with stones and bot- tles thrown from roofs were rcporttd to the police shortly before 9 o'clock. Police entered the buildings and chased from the roofs gangs of men sp]id to have been seen carrying mis- siles. At 9 o'clock the Interborough Rap- id Transit company reported that ex- press and local trains were running on normal schedule on both subway and elevated lines and With but few chang- es from the regular crews.

Leaders in both houses determined, however, to approve the ‘conference report on the measure to- night and adjourn as early as possible | tomorrow. Washington, Sept. 7.—Conferees on the revenue emergency bill late today reached a final agreement. An ef- fort will be made to dispose of the measure in thg house at a night ses- sion and administration leaders will seek to hold the senate so that it also may act and congress adjourn tonight. As findlly agreed upon the bill re- tains the income and inheritance tax- es, the munitions net profit tax raised from 10 to 12} per cent, the corpora~ tion stock tax of 50 cents on each $1,000, beer, wine, liquor<and theater taxes, All'stamp taxes and a on refiners of copper are eliminated.

Amendments llviqgh the the presis dent authority to withhold clearance to vessels of nations which discrimi- nate against or interfere with Ameri- can trade and to retaliate on em= bargoes against American goods are retained. Washington, Sept. 7.—Conferees on the emergency revenue bill ¢ 3 struck out the Phelan amendment to empower the president to retaliate against citizens of belligerent nations which interfere with the United Sta mails.

The conference committee on the revenue bill had not reported final agreement on the measure when the house met, but they were reaching the stage of mutual concession, in hope of getting an agreement some time to- day. %he delay threatens to xouvone adjournment until Saturday. Although there have been rumors of eleventh- hour tangles that might carry the ses- sion into next week, administration leaders think that unlikely. Embargo Sections Stand. Other senate amendments clothing tHe president with retaliatory power against interferences with American commerce and embargoes on Ameri- can goods to foreign nations were agreed to, They have the sanction of the State department, while the Phe- lan amendment did not. The conference then approached the wine taxes and dyestuff tariff which became the principal stumbling blocks. Majority Leader Kitchin moved to strike out the senate amend- ments increasing the duties on coal tar, medicinal derivatives and flavor- ing extracts. There was no fight, however, on the increases in ratés on intermediate and finished dyestuffs. The conference eliminated the $300,- 000 contihuing appropriation for the tariff commission. = Three hundred thousand dollars was retained for 1917, but as the bill now stands the appro- priation for future years was elimi- nated. The house managers yielded the demand for restoration of the tax on copper when the senate conferees threw out the stamp taxes, . The income, inheritance and cor- poration stock taxes as fixed in the senate bill, were approved. - Many, many people, when buying anything, act upon the shallow theory—“If a thing costs MORE it MUST be worth more,” and they are thus taxed a heavy price for such an indolent habit of thought.
