For the most part the securities were bonds, largely underlying rail- road issues, although a substantial part consisted of mortgage bonds of industrial companies returning a high yield on the purchase price. These investments are believed to merce directly traceable to the Euro- pean war.

TWO NEW STATE UNIONS Palatka, Fla,, Nov. 21.—"The Farm- ers' union will stand by its friends wherever it finds them,” declared President Charles S. Barrett, address- ing the annual convention of the na- tional farmers’ organization, which opened here today. “The union has never been in par- tisan politics and will not be,” c¢on- tinued Mr. Barrett. “Yet right here you may take it from me that no amount of partisan lashing shall drive the union from the support of its friends nor force it to sustain its po- litical enemies. Knowing itself, its powers and limitations, the union is detc mined to control itself. This simply means that the union is not going to take its orders and direc tions from the outside. It means that the union is sane, self-sustaining and self-sufficing. It will fearlessly and steadfastly exercise its power for the betterment of the union, the produc- ers of life's necessities, and the uplift of the human race.” Mr. Barrett warned the union gpinst pretended friends “who, when e important’ momerit ¢comes, do not hesitate to dodge the issuc.” As an indication of the growth of the Farmers’ union during the year, President Barrett said charters had been granted to two new state organ- izations, Montana and North Dakota, and three others were nearly ready. n of the ey elore 1.4 lockout « ore a strike or lockou may be lawfully attempted.

London, Nov. 21.—A Reuter’s dis- patch from Petrograd says it is au- thoritatively announced that only two vessels were destroyed in the re- cent explosion in the Harbor of Ba-| karitza, near Archangel. These were | the British steamer Baron Driesen and the British coal steamer Sarl of Forfar, moored beside the Baron Driesen. Russian authorities make a categorical denial of the German re- port that seven munition laden ships were destroyed, and the Russian ad- miralty declares that the German re- port, attributing the first explosion | on board the Baron Driesen to a sub- marine is absurd, adding that Ger- man submarines cannot possibly pene- trate to Bakaritza harbor. e { .'I‘hc Overseas News agency, in a dispatch from Berlin on November 17, reported an Archangel newspaper as stating that seven ammunition steam- ers had been blown up in the harbor | of Archangel. Later the same agency gavt out reports from Stockholm that the explosion originated in the tor- pedoing of a steamer by a submarine in Archangel harbor, Twenty Steamers Afire. _Berlin, Nov. 21, (by wireless to Say- ville.)—Reports erceived from Swe- dish sources state that at least twenty steamers caught fire in the recent series of explosions near Archangel, and were forced to stay in the harbor until it was icebound, says the Over- seas News agency. According to these reports it is estimated that am- munition, valued at ‘80,000,000 rubles, 20,000 bales of cotton, belonging to the Moscow Association of Cotton | Mills, and 15,000,000 rubles worth of | during the night ranged|| rubber were burned. A new auto-| mobile train for Petrograd and Mos- | cow is reported to have been partly | destroyed. From the same sources it is' stated that Admiral Grigorovich, the Rus- sian minister of marine, was imme- diately summoned to headquarters by the emperor. General Chouvaieff, the Russian minister of war, is quoted as charac- terizing the ex| fosion as “one of Rus- sia's worst defeafs.” The British ambassador at Petro- gr‘ad, according to Stockholm reports, seized the opportunity to claim in the name of his fiovernment the right to superintend the harbor, Howell Busy Man Runnin_gfampaign R. B. Howell, general manager of the municipal water plant, is a busy man these days, directing from his office in the city hall his personally conducted campaign against the five- year street lighting contract which will be submitted to referendum vote on December 5. Mr. Howell is using his office in the Water department for campaign head- quarters and is spending much of his time discussing the matter with workers he has enlisted. Jer};y Howard spent two hours with Mr. Howell Monday during hours the water plant manager was supposed to be looking after the affairs of the water system. ~—---~~—‘~—; GooD | Trunk, Bag or Suitcase| Should Come From FRELING & STEINLE 1 “Omaha's Best Baggage Builders.” 1803 FARNAM ST. | years old, testified that on the after- | |each day and is an all cash business. || come to 326 Rose Bldg., and talk it Mansfield in a photograph as one of these men.

W. R. Tilson, county treasurer from Maryville, Mo,, testified that on May 30, 1916, a man who gave his name as Bill Mansfield and appeared to be a dope fiend came into his office and asked if any money had been left there for him and that a ‘'man from Villisca was to have left it. Tilson testified also that he saw William Mansfield in custody in Red Oak last summer and that he very much resembled the man who came into his office and asked for money Other witnesses today testified that they saw Albert Jones and W, B.
