HAY NAMED
.ONU.S.CO()RT
. Of CLAIMS
Congressman Who Was Thorn
in Flesh Of Administration
As Member Of House Has
Been Politely Eliminated

Washington. July 15.--President
Wilson today nominated Congressman
James Hay. OF Madison. Va. to be
a Judge OF the United States court
OF claims.
Congressman Hay. veteran member
OF the house. Is chairman of the mill
tary committee. whose maeh-critici1-
cd federalized bill furnished the
framework for the present army ye-
organization plan. Acceptance OF the
position and his retirement from con-
gress Is expected to be announced
at once.
For several months. II has been
reported In congressional circles, that
the administration desired place
for Hay. Many OF his policies have
not agreed with those OF the presi-
dent. When the army bill was In the
making, Hay. Secretary OF War Gar
rison and the president became In
volved In q three-cornered fight over
the provisions Of the bill. Hay waa q
small army man. Hay demanded that
the militia should be embodied. while
Garrison and the president stood for
a citizen soldiery. Feeling between
Hay and Garrison became very bitter
and when II appeared the president
could not force volunteer army idea
through congress. because OF Hays
opposition. Garrison resigned.
Army officers we're openly jubilant
over the appointment. since Hay and
the army general star always have
been at loggerheads over the ques-
ton Of administration Of the army.
Hay has been q consistent champion
OF the militia.
The appointment Of Hay makes
Congressman 8. Hubert Dent. Jr..
Alabama. ranking member and prob
able new chairman Of the military
committee. Dent Is serving his fourth
term. His championship OF the ma
tional guard has been decidedly less
emphatic than Hays.
"It's a good appointment" said
Speaker Clark. but loss to the
house."
Republican Leader Mann led in q
demonstration today In honor of Con-
gresham Hay when he reappeared
on the floor OF the house.
''He has been one OF the ablest
members Of the house; one OF Its
greatest flghters." said Mann. I'VE
are sorry to part With him."

Protest Using State

Decatur Directors

NtiSi" n ctoii SuETHSppEueHtD
Lincoln, July 29.-(Special.) Am
echo Of the recent bank failure in
Decatur was heard late yesterday
afternoon when a delegation OF bank
ers from out in the state and Omaha
called on the banking board to pro-
test against the use of $4,000 of the
state guaranty fund to pay four di-
rectors of the defunct bank.
The delegation comprised Thomas
Murray Of Dunbar, president of the
Nebraska State Bankers association;
c. H. Cornell of Valentine, chairman
of the executive council of the state
association; w. B. Hughes of Omaha,
secretary of the association; T. l..
Mathews of Fremont, Edward E,

state association; Oscar E. Engler OF

gin, 7. H. Kelly of Gothenburg, w.
H. Mcdonald Of North Platte, John
Forrest and c. H. Beaumont of Lin
coin.
Mr.. Hughes of Omaha said four
directors of the defunct bank at Deca-
tur borrowed $4,000 from state
bank in Omaha, each giving his note
for $500. This money was placed in
the bank to tide it over. The directors
received certificates of deposit from
the Decatur bank and assigned them
to the South Omaha bank as security
for their individual notes The South
Omaha bank now demands payment
on the certificates the same as any
other depositor.
The committee contended that the
money in controversy was simply bor-
rowed money and not deposit.

There were 23o sheep in the flock

Since that time the bunch has in

The wool taken from the herd is
just being shipped to market and will
weigh about 1000 pounds. Just what
it will bring is not now known, but
probably in the neishborhood of Is
cents per pound, which would make
$500 for the fleece.
The original flock of sheep cost the
