HUNT CANADIAN BANK LOOT.
Detectives Believe Large Part OF $2I1
900 Loot in Chicago Vaults.

Chicago Sept, 15.-Df the S2i1 900 in
Canadian money stolen o the west
minister branch of the Bank of Mon
treal in 1912, upward of slS0,e0O Q
lies unmulested in safety deposit boxes
in Chicago banks. according to state
ments made yesterday by Agent Peter
Drautzberg of the Chicago office OF the
United States secret service.
This sum he said was held in about
forty names. most of which are Known
to the agents of his and the Canadian
government and also to private detec-
tive agencies.
Mr.. DrautZberg's comments were
prompted by the arrest Wednesday in
Toronto of Michael B. Shortall of $3.50
Perry avenue, Chicago. as he was pry-
ing open a deposit OK. detectives say,
in the valuts of the Bank of Toronto
a box which contained s1,925 in notes
Of small denomination of the money
declared stolen from the Westminster
Bank just foul years ago today.
The arrest of Shortall. l believe.
precludes the possibility of the arrest
of any of the Chicago holders of the
money for many years to come said
Mr.. Drautzberg. The same watch
is being kept IN the deposit boxes
under suspicion in Chicago banks that
was being kept in Montreal. For any
of the holders of the keys to these
boxes to attempt to open them now
would result in almost certain arrest,
and they know it.. Consequently |
think hat most of that stolen money
would rot in Chicago vaults before n
one comes TO claim it.
The secre: service agent also said 1t
was practically impossible to get evil
dence against the men unless they
opened the boxes; that mere arrest and
questioning would avail nothing. and
the laws of the state forbade detectives
from entering the vaults.
There is only one thing to do-wait
and watch said Mr.. Drautzberg. Some
day one of those forty or more holders
of the money will make a slip that will
lead us 10 the recovery of all the loot,
but it is slow and uncertain waiting"
AS one result Of the arrest Of Short
all. Michael Flanagan, owner OF q
saloon at West Forty-third street and
Archer VENUE, was taken into custody
ard questioned by Chief of Detectives
Charles Larkin.
In 1918. according to the police. Elan
nigan, then a Saloon-keeper at Thirty
fifth street and Wentworth avenue. was
arrested on a charge of having two
of III stolen Canadian ban notes in
his possession, but was discharged.
Captain Larkin. after an examina-
ton OF Flanagan yesterday. said the
prisoner denied knowledge of the OBJ
berry or acquaintance with Shortall, and
fol lack of evidence was again re-
leased.

WIN he sky Is Blue.

Sunlight. which we call white, Is
composed Of light rays of different COL
ors-red, orange, yellow, green, olue.
indigo and violet. 1t can be broken up
into it's constituent colors in various
WAYS. II it passes thru a transparent
prism Oike the crystals that hang from
a c%handelier) or If it falls on a surface
which has almost invisible minute 2
rcsularities dixie mother o f-pearl or the
wing of a butterfly we see the rays
into which sunlight has been separ-
ated. These phenomena are observed
when light is not absorbed. says p
lar Science Monthly.
Hold a piece of red glass IN front Of
flame and we see only red. Rays of
all other colors have been absorbed.
The natural colors of the objects We see
about US. leaves, flowers, books AND
chairs, depend upon absorption. A
green leaf throws back chiefly green
rays: the rest are absorbed. So, the
natural color Of everything in nature
is the unabsorbed residue from full
white light. There Is no such thing rs
color by itself.
ASswarm of minute particles, scat
tered in the path Of white light, will
break it up. like the surface Of mother
of-pearl. If the particles happen to be
of just the right size and the spaces
between them just the right distance
they will absorb rays Of one color only
and throw off the rest. The atmos-
phere is filled with countless dust par
ticles and their size and spacing is
such that they scatter rays which we
cali sky blue. Nearer the horizon,
larger particles turn the blue into
white: this happens above a dusty
town and when mists or clouds hans
above US. All that Is left Of white sun
light, after passing thru many miles
of blue-scattering air, appears in the
hues of unset. The size and spacing
OF dust particles as well as the angle
at which sunlight strikes them deter
| mines the color OF the Sky.

1.i9 to 1893, and May at LAC to 1.49fs
were followed by d moderate general
advance n then a decided reaction,
Later bearish sentiment became more
pronounced owing largely to the fact
thai recent purchases for the Greek
government turned out to be only hall
as large as had been reported. Drouth
advices from Argentina later, tho
caused a rally. and there were signs OF
a better export call. The close was I'M

December at sl.491a to s1.49a and May
at $50.
Corn.
Fu!fillment Of frost predictions car
ried corn prices up grade. Liberal
profit taking. tho, ensued. and the
market eased off. After opening g
TO Is cents higher, values receded to
some extent but continued to show
considerable strength.
Forecasts of additional frosts tonight
tended to bring about a new upturn in

Oats.
Oats paralleled the action Of corn.
Trade was not heavy.
Provisions.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
strength TO provisions. Lard led the

SUICIDES WIFE, DAZED,
HALTS IN CALL FOR AID
George Hummel Shoots Him
self, Police Say, Because
of Illness and Worry

A man who the police say, had been
suffering for some weeks from grip and
who had been worrying over his brother,
Il soldier in Won Hindenburgs army,
killed himself by shooting early today in
his residence at 2242 North Fairhill street
He was George Hummel, AZ years old, an
employo of the Hernig Milk Company,

The widow, Mrs. Anne Hummel, heard
her husband go to the first floor of their
home shortly after 2:3O o'clock this morn
ing. A moment later there was the report
of a pistol, and upon investigating she
found her husband lying dead on the floor

BILL TO AID FARMERS
REPORTED FAVORABLY
BY SENATE COMMITTEE
Plan Provides for Loans to
Agriculturists at Not More
Than 5 Per Cent, Extend
ed for 36-year Period
MEASURE NONPARTISAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--The Hollis
rural credits bill, which promises loans Ia
farmers at not more than per cent, to-
day was reported favorably TO the Senate
Because of It's nonpartsan support 1t is
due to receive an advantageous position
on the calendar
The bill proposes to set up a nonparti-
san farm loan board, with the Secretary
of the Treasury as one member the 9TH
ers appointed by the President This
board charters local farm loan banks,
which will take mortgages from actual
farmers and issue bonds with the mort
cages as securities.
This pIan. tne committee that reported
the measure claims, will standardize farm
loans all over the country, since all mort
cages must be approved by the boards'
and this security Is expected to make the
bonds salable at 4 per cent They run
for long terms and are guaranteed by the
United States.
'ThIs ia an Investment better than
most savings banks offer" the committee
report said. land II should result in heavy
Investments by small salaried persons,
widows with life insurance funds, trust
funds, etc"
They are exempt from small taxes
The farmer will not be required to pay
commissions, renewal fees or discounts
of any kind The cost of administering
the system will be added to the interest
rate of the bonds to determine the In
terest rate which the farmer shall pay
on his mortgage. This cost is estimated
at less than one per cent
If enough local banks are not started
the Government itself will aid in estab.
fishing 10. with a capital of not less than
$500, 900 Each man who is advanced a
loan is made automatically n member OF
the local bank association and is forced
to take out an amount of stock equal to
per cent. of his loan
Loans may be mhde for Is long as
36 years and the mortgages may be repaid
in small amounts extended over the whole
period.
"Tho idea Of the BILL" said the report,
lis not so much to give Government aid
to any particular classes as to encourage
cooperation among farmers themselves
and to furnish bridge between those
many investors who seek safety and n
reasonable return and those borrowers
who want long-term loans and an as
surcdness that their loans will not be
called"
