PLAINTIFFS ALLEGE UsURY.
The Washington Mortgage Loan
Company Mnde Defendant.

George Senge and his WIFE Gladys
Senge, today, through their attorneys,
Bigelow & Bigelow, brought suit against
Fred V. Mckenzie, trustee; Luke C. Stri-
der, justice of the peace, and William H.
Gould, his constable, for an accounting,
and to restrain the defendants from taking
further steps in a certain replevn suit.
The suit is. in fact, brought TO ask the
court to restrain the defendants from ex-
torting alleged usurious interest from the
complainants by means OF a replevin ac-
tion. .sss.
1t is stated by the complainants that on
April last they borrowed from the Wash
ington Mortgage Loan Company s4S and
gave a promissory note for SS340, payable
in monthly instaIlments of $685.. and Sc
cured by a chattel trust on piano.
On May s, it is stated the first monthly
installment of $685. was paid, but no 9TH
er payments were made until August "a
when s44 additional was paid. This pay
| ment, however, was made only when the
defendant, corporation had begun suit for
the replevin of the piano pledged.
Originally, the complainants applied for
loan of $50, but only received $4S-the
| balance of 81, having been retained, it was
! claimed, to pay for the recording of the
! chattel trust placed upon the piano. This
! trust, it is alleged, has never been recorded.
The complainants ask the court to re-
strain the defendants from further prose-
| cutting the replevin suit, placing the chattel
trust upon record and that the latter and
the promissory note for sS3.40, be declared

NEBRAsKA's MURDER MYSTERY

Impressions That Strong Influence
Protects Laura French's Assassins.
HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 11.-This city
has become terribly stirred because of the
failure of the detectives to locate the mur-
derer of Miss Laura French, the young
Burlington school teacher, who was poi
soned here several weeks ago by the man
responsible for her delicate condition.
The governor has failed TO offer a reward
and some mysterious but powerful infiu-
enee appears TO be protecting the murder
er. The name of the man who was with
the girl up to the night she took the poi
son he gave her, is common property A
number of country papers have addressed
open letters to him calling him by name.
The police, however, refuse TO say the man
is guilty though they admit they are look
ing for him. He has not been seen at his
Omaha Office for two weeks, but the police
have not branded him as fugitive or sent
his description or made an unusual effort
TO locate him.
Hastings people will hold a mass meet
ing to take steps to have the murderer
captured. The plan is to have Pinkerton
take charge Of the matter. The Burling-
ton authorities are cooperating with the
Hastings police and the criminal cannot
escape capture much longer

ury Department to see Secretary Gage,

KANE CLAIMS he IS SANE.
He Explains Why He Wishes to Dis.
pose of His Property.

The question of the necessity and ad-
visibility of the. court appointing a COM
mittee to take charge of the person and
property of John Kane, came up today
before Justice Cole. c3.s+
A petition asking for the appointment of
such a committee by the court was filed
on August % by Mrs. Mary E. Kilrigan. a
daughter of the subject Kane.,iiin (which
she stated that her father is the owner
of real estate No. 91S First Street north
west which is valued at about $4,000, and
that his mental condition is such that he
is not competent to care for either him
self or property. tH-
1t is also stated that several years ago.
Kane was found to be in such an unbalanc-
ed condition of mind as to necessitate his
commitment to the st. Elizabeth Hospital
for the Insane. After remaining there about
two years, it is stated. his mental and phys
ical condition was SO much improved that
he was discharged, and since that time he
has been living with his grandchildren.
Lately it is said Kane has been making
efforts to dispose of his real property for
s., 600, which is considered by his reia ives
and friends as mere gift" price, AMI
they fear that he is again mentally un-
balanced.
In his answer filed today, Kane declares
that he is sane: that the only income is
81 per month which he receives as rental
for his house, 91S First Street, and that
with this amount he is obliged to support
/ himself, pay his taxes, and keep his prop
erty in proper repair.
He says it is impossible to do this with
the amount of money named and for this
reason desires to dispose of his property.
| The petitioner, Mrs. Killigan, is repre-
sented by Hamilton & Colbert, and..the
respondent, Kane, by William ]. Miller and
! William B. Reilly.
