RURAL CREDITS BILL PASSED
AMENDMENT TO AGRICULTURAL
BILL SECURED BY COUP.
North Dakota Senator Turns Demo.
cratic Administration Wrong
Side Out by AIertness.

Washington, March 1.-Senator Por-
ter j. McCumber of North Dakota has
Summarized the Democratic admins
tration forces in senate and house.
BY securing the passage of an
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill, providing for rural cred
its, the North Dakota senator turned
the Democratic administration pro-
gram wrong side out
There were angry mutter:ngs in the
house and senate, threats of an extra
session, of presidential veto of the
entire agricultural bill, and other
measures of a retaliatory character.
The situation is complicated by the
apparent inconsistency of Democratic
record and Democratic protestat:ons
on the subject.
To add to the embarrassment of the
administration, Representative Buck
ley of Ohio, Democrat, proposed to
amend the senate rider by attaching
to it the provisions of the Buckley
Hollis bill, measure which embodies
the principle of government aid, q
principal that is disapproved by Mr..
Wilson.
All of this was brought about by
the alert action of the North Da '1ota
senator, who has apparently been
watching his chance Most of the
Democratic senators accepted dinner
invitations and thrse that remained
during the consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill were appar.
emily asleep. For when Senator Nc
Cumber offered his amendment to the
agricultural bill for Tho establishment
of farm credit burc"r in the depart
ment of agriculture to grant loans on
land mortgages and providing a fund
of $10.O00,00o for the purpose, no one
objected and tn ie was not even

HELD AS BLACKMAlL SCHEME
stesler Passport Case Is Taken Up by
German Embassy-Statement
Issued by Ambassador.

Washington, March "A statement
issued by the German embassy, in the
name Of Count Won Bernstorff, the am
bassador, announced that the main
facts in the Stegler passport case, with
which the name of Captain Boy-Ed,
naval attache of the embassy, had
been attached, had been communicat.
ed to the state department.
1t added that "the whole matter
looks very much like an attempt at
blackmail, which failed"
The ambassador, who is in New
York, telegraphed instructions for the
issuance of the statement.
So far, the passport investigation in
New York had been before the state
department only in an informal way,
through unofficial conferences between
representatives of that department
and of the department of justice, and,
according to a high official of the gov.
eminent nothing has developed re.
quiring action.
