NEW FARM LOAN PLAN
Government to Issue Bonds and Lend Money Through Banks or
 Other Agents at Low Interest.

Cottonwood Falls, Mo-, April A. Dudley DoOlittle, representative in congress from the Fourth district, has a measure which he expects to introduce at the special session of congress, which provides new plan of cheap loans for farmers.
 Mr. Doolittle gave yesterday a short outline of his plan. It is vir- tually the creation of farm loan department, which will be enabled to make loans to farmers at a very low rate of interest, probably about i per cent, whereas the best rate farmers are now able to obtain gen. erally is 6 per cent. These loans MT. Doolittle would have run for long periods with optional payments.
 In order to provide this money, he would have the government is sue bonds to bear about one-half of per cent less than the mortgage loan interest rate. The money de- rived from the sale of these bonds would then be lent to farmers. The loan would be negotiated through banks and other designated agen- cies, and the agents compensation would be the difference between the interest rate on the bonds and the rate charged the borrower.
 The plan, Mir. Doolittle believes, would be sure to work a great sav- ing for the farmer; the banker or other loan agent would receive his compensation for handling the loans and the government would also come in for compensation, for the reason that government bonds al- ways sell at a premium.
 Mir. Doolittle expects opposition from loan companies, and says he would be glad to have the views of persons interested, either for or against his plan.

ANOTHER SENSATION
 IN ALLEGED SWI\DLE

Hot Springs, April 3.-One of the biggest surprises the public has re- ceived in connection with the grand jury investigation of the alleged swindling of Frank P. Fox, the Ter re Haute, Ind, gas man out of $20,- GOO in the Indiana Club by means of a crooked roulette gambling operation, came this evening, when it was learned that Deputy Sheriff Walter Wheatley had left-for Terre Haute to bring back Walter Worth, a close friend of Fox, who had been indicted for grand larceny. The in dictment against Worth had been returned yesterday and was kept secret until Deputy Wheatley's de- parture tonight.
 It is said that the testimony brought out at the grand jury in vestigation showed that Worth, who is interested in a road house and other hotel ventures in Terre Haute, was in reality cOgnizant of the at tempt to swindle Fox, and was in league with the men who success fully operated the deal in the Indi- ana Club. The public generally re- gafded Worth as one of the best friends Fox had in this city. Worth is the man who introduced Ward alias Wood, alias Sterling, alias The Brass Kid" to Fox and accom- panied Ward and Fox to Hot Springs, it is alleged, when the swindle was pulled off.

WOULD ENCOURAGE
 PEANUT GROWING
Efforts Being Made to Secure Re- ductiOn of Arkansas Freight Rates on the Great Soil
 Building Crop.

Little Rock, April 3.-Peanuts and their value in building up the soil of Arkansas is a subject about which the railroad commission is hearing considerable today, an appeal hay ing been made for a reduction in the freight rates so that the farmers of the state may be placed on an equal basis with those of Texas and Mis- sissippi and the growing of this crop encouraged.
 The case of the farmers is being presented by V. k. Buron, manager of the Texarkana Traffic Bureau, which organization inaugurated the proceedings, and Dan L. Jones of Jonesboro, secretary of the National Peanut Growers Association. The Little Rock Merchants Freight Bu- reau intervened in behalf of the peanut industry and Secretary A. R. Bragg is assisting in the presenta- ton.
 "The railroads are choking off the growing of peanuts to their own detriment," said MT. Jones. Tn stead of making rate that would encourage the growing of peanuts and thus building up the soil, they are charging so much that farmers who ought to grow peanuts cannot be induced to do so, because under the present conditions they cannot get anything out of the crop"
 Double Texas Rates.
 Manager Buron of the Texarkana bureau cites as reasons for a re- duction in the freight rates the fact that Arkansas railroads are charg- ing just twice as much as the rail- roads of Texas and Mississippi for hauling peanuts and as much as for hauling flour, a commodity of far greater value"
 The Texas rate on a haul of i50 miles is i08 cents" asserted the Texarkanian, "and the Mississippi rate is only 9.6 cents. The Arkan- sas rate is 2l.4 cents for the same haul. All we are asking is fair treatment for the peanut growers, a rate of if.2 cents for a haul of l50 miles.
 The present rate must be reduced if the production of peanuts is to be encouraged. There is a great deal of land in the state which will grow nothing but peanuts, as great soil builder as the cowpea, which gets a cheap rate.."
 The petitioners representatives are inclined to believe the reduc- ton will be ordered by the com mission.

ORGY OF PETTY CRAFT
 FOUND IN COLORADO
Interstate Commerce Commission Discovers That All Kinds of Pub lie Officials Have Been
 Accepting Free Passes.

Washington, April 2.-Investi- gation by Commissioner Harlan of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion into the practice of Colorado railroads in giving free transporta- ton has brought sensational results. Criminal indictments against large shippers and offending carriers have been returned. Commissioner Harlan personally conducted an in vestigation, and in his own charac- terization of the situation he de veloped violation of the law on an extraordinary scale"
 Mr. Harlan said in a preliminary report handed down today that ''in one month over a single railroad 1000 trips were made on passes. Not only shippers who controlled routing of traffic in any great quan- tity were favored at all times, but even public officials, careless alike of duty, morals and danger, accept ed, even demanded, these favors of the carriers.
 The record shows that judges, state officials, members of the-legis- lature, county and municipal off, cers, including mayors and alder men, have very generally made use of passes. Not only has this been the case, but the record shows that four passes were not volunteered and they were asked for by public officials. Even the judges have not hesitated to pursue this course. Per sonal requests by judges upon car riers for passes are disclosed by the record, accompanied by expressions of their sense of obligation for such favors granted to them both before and after they went on the bench.
 All classes joined in the orgy of petty graft, al once sacrificing the rightful avenues of the carriers. discriminating against all small shippers and dcmoralizing all pub- lie officials, including the legislature and the bench"
 Commissioner Harlan says that the Colorado carriers have given assurance that they will conform their future practices in the rulings Jof the commission in pass matters. The report does not disclose what further steps may be taken. A final report is promised to make clear the views of the commission in this fraudulent traffic in trans portation.

OKLAHOMA RED MUD IN OMAHA.
Tornado Brought It, but From
 Where No One Knows.

Omaha, April i.-Oklahoma red mud is scattered all over Omaha and Eastern Nebraska. It was brought here by the big Easter tor nado, but where the storm got hold of it is a mystery. Immediately after the tornado hundreds of houses in Omaha were found plas- tered with red mud. All through the devastated district the pheno- menon was to be seen.
 In Yutan, where the storm also struck, the red mud was found. In Lincoln it was half an inch deep on some pavements. Scientists at the state university analysed the mud and found that it is the red soil of Oklahoma. They are unable to ex- plain it's presence so far from home, however.
