HITCHCOCK is DELIGHTED

Washington, Dec. 27.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-The selection of Omaha
as one of the twelve cities in which
farm loan banks shall be located, un-
der the Federal Farm Loan act, met
with the heartiest express" rs of COM
mendation today from the members
of congress- Each one wanted to tell
what he had done to bring it about
and all felt correspondingly satisfied.
Nebraska having gone for Wilson, by
so large majority, the farm loan
board could not have done anything
else than have given Omaha one OF
the places provided for in the act.
Senator Hitchcock said he was
very glad that the farm loan board
had named Omaha as the location Of
one of the districts.
"Our people felt pretty confident
that Omaha would be selected because
they had the weight of opinion on
their side and then presented good
case, AS for the future | presume
the development OF the boards potent

delighted with the selection"
Judge Kinkaid was not surprised
when informed that Omaha had been
selected as one of the twelve centers
for farm loan banks. 81 expected it"
he said,
Omaha should have been reserve
bank center, failing in which, good
business warranted its selection as
farm loan center,
Then you know Arthur Mullen
was here recently working for Oma-
ha and that might have pulled it
over"
Representative Stephens said he
was delighted with the selection.
Omaha is ideally situated in the par
ticular district created by the farm
loan board and it ought to be gener-
ally accepted. Anything for Nebras.

Bureau FroWnS On
The Word "Sleet"

Washington, Dec. 27.-The old
fashioned sleet is going out OF style
this winter before the newer zee
storm" and glaze" weather bureau
officials reported TODAY in their cam
paign for more accurate Technology
for various kinds of frozen rain. Sleet
is officially described as small glo-
bules of rain frozen before striking
the earth. When rain freezes after
falling and forms a CLASSY coating on
the ground, trees and wires. the con
condition is called a glaze. and when
this is severe and accompanied by
wind, it is reported as an ice storm.
The weather bureau hopes to elimi-
nate what it considers improper use
of the word sleet, as it has caused
substitution Of the word tornado for
cyclone when violent storm OF small
diameter is meant.

JUDGE INSTRUCTS
WILD HORSE" JURY
Warns Twelve Men to Disre-
gard Personal Bias and
Weigh ALI Testimony.
EVIDENCE cIRcUMsTANTIAL

The wild horse" case was turned
over to the jury late yesterday after
noon following long and detailed in
structions from Federal Judge ], w.
Woodrough. III giving his instruc-
tions to the jury, he read the specific
complaint against the eleven mem in
dictcd by the federal grand jury in
1914 for conspiracy to use the mails
to defraud in connection with the SELL
ing of wild range horses in Coconino
county, Arizona. .
No matter what you may think of
any man on trial here" he said. "every
one of them must be acquitted unless
you are satisfied from the evidence
that the charge and accusation against
him has been proven.
Judge One by One.
"The evidence here is circumstan-
tial evidence. If the evidence can be
reconciled with the theory of inno-
cence, the law requires that the de-
PENDANTS be given the benefit of the
doubt"
The judge warned the jurors not
to consider the defendants collectively
but as individual members. "You
have no right to lump them together
or condemn them collectively" he
said. Each defendant must have his
evidence carefully weighed and con-
sidered bforee you turn in verdict
for or against him.
The afternoon was taken up with
the final arguments of attorneys for
the defense and the government.
Ray Abbott, representing Charles
N. Thompson, indicted head of the
United States Live Stock, in his final
argument told the jury that his client
had put in everything he possessed in
the wild horse" company and as a re-
suit had lost everything he possessed.
He told how Thompson was at one
time president of a Newport, Neb,.
bank and that he had owned a large
amount Of real estate, but after his in
terest in the United States Live Stock
company was forced to sell every
thing to meet his obligations. "He
went into the business with good
faith and never with the intention of
conspiring to use the mails to de-
fraud"
Gang of Criminals"
Referring to some of the govern
ment witnesses, he said that num-
Der of them were the worst gang of
criminals" ever seen outside of the
penitentiary
Attorney Fleharty, chief counsel
for the Defense. practically echoed
the statements of Abbott.
The closing argument was made by
United States District Attorney Al
len. What was the purpose of Or
ganizing the United States Live Stock
company if it wasn't to defraud?' he
asked. According to the testimony of
the officers of the organization only
$4,000 actual money was put into the
concern, which was incorporated for
100000.
Smith and other of the defendants
maintained their innocence in the face
of the testimony of thirty or more
witnesses, who showed that they had
been "stung" If the horses were
there, why couldn't they be caught?
"If you turn these men loose society
will be the loser and you will give
license to these men to go back to
Arizona and continue their work"
