Young Women Detective New
- AT Task and Didn't Stay Long
Never Before Had Done This
Sort of Work and Stayed
in It But Week.

Mrs. Elsie Phelps, 2S, the Omaha
amateur woman detective, who was
sent 10 Chadron to obtain evidence
as to the alleged indiscretions OF the
young wife of Robert Hood, aged
and wealthy Chadron banker, for the
Omaha Detective agency, and who, it
is said, double crossed" the agency,
never was engaged in detective work
before being sent to Chadron.
"She had such appealing ways that
we thought she would have no trouble
in gazing the confidence of Mrs.
Hood" Harvey Wolf, president of the
agency, said yesterday.
Mrs. Phelps reports OF the first
week show that she had no difficulty
whatever.
The, first day she arrived in Chad
ron, the report reads, she called up
Mrs. Hood and was invited out.
She was to get 81 day and all .ex-
tenses. After working a week she
resigned her job.
Mrs. Phelps is an Omaha woman.
She was formerly the wife of Fred
Phelps, secretary of the Omaha Musi-
clans union. Mr.. Phelps was given
the custody of their 9-year-old daugh-
ter.

HOUSE PASSES
REVENUE BILL
BY Big MAJORITY
New Measure Favored by
Lower Body Calls for Rails
ing of $1,800,000,000
Through Taxation.

Washington, May 23.-The war rev.
enue bill was passed by the house late
today. Y
The vote on final passage was 30o to
Is; absent, 4. The bill purposes rails
ing approximately $l,800,000,000 of
revenue from taxation.
Democrats, headed by Speaker
Clark and Floor Leader Kitchin, voted
Lsolidly for the bill. Republican Leader
Mann was among those voting nay.
Mann Opposes Bill.
Republican Leader Mann aroused
applause of the republicans in the last
hours of debate by declaring that he
would vote against the measure.
Too great an amount of money, Mr..
Mann said, would be raised by im-
mediate taxation under the bill. Bond
issues or supplementary taxes, he de-
clared, should raise the greater part
of the required war revenue.
''In the present time" he said,
prices for the necessities of life are
going to be unusually high. This bill
places too great burden Of taxation
upon the country.
1--WE had far better continue along
by raising a part of this money by
bonds and passing other tax bills
from year to year. This bill ap-
proaches killing the goose that laid
the golden egg. | am afraid we are
killing that goose today.
81 regret that | shall have to vote
against the bill. 1t raises too great
an amount of money by direct and
immediate taxes and | cannot support
such, a tremendous levy at this time"
Another Postage Rate Scheme. .
Increase of second class postage
rates on advertising portions of pub
lications is proposed in an amend
ment to the war revenue bill intro
duced in the senate today by Senator
Hardwick of Georgia. 1t would leave
the present cent-a-pound rate on news
sections of publications, but increase
that of advertising sections to 8 cents
pound until July /, 1918; 6 cents a
pound until July l, 1919, and 8 cents
a pound thereafter. ~
The section of the war tax bill pro-
posing a tax on advertising matter
other than that contained in newspa-
pers and periodicals was stricken out
today by the house on motion of
Democratic Leader Kitchin.

FIRST TEST CASE.
OF LIQUOR LAWS
IS Won BY STATE
Anton Larson, at Whose Place
$1,000 Worth Of Booze
Was Seized, Fined S100
in County Court.

Nebraska's first test case under pro-
hibition arising out of wholesale
seizure of liquor resulted in a victory
for the state.
Anton Larson, dairyman at Six
tieth and Center streets, at whose
place Sheriff Clark and deputies
seized $4,000 worth of contraband
booze May 9, was found guilty by
Judge Crawford, sitting in county
court, and fined $l00 and costs.
The court ordered the 1000 cases
of beer and 500 gallons of whiskies,
expensive wines, gin, -eordials and
other intoxicants destroyed. Counsel
for Larson Immediately filed an ap-
peal bond.
By agreement between Larson's
lawyers, Chief Deputy County Attor-
ney Abbott and the court, it was de-
cided not to dump the wet goods into
sewers or sprinkle the streets with it
until after the supreme court makes
final decision on the case.
The court room was jammed to
the doors when the case was resumed
Wednesday morning. Larson's at
torneys had attacked the constitu-
tionality OF the prohibition amend
ment Tuesday afternoon. Masses OF
citations were read before the court
purporting to support this contention.
Refuses to Testify.
Though he had said, previous to
the hearing, that all the booze seized
by the sheriff belonged to him, Lar
son refused to take the witness stand
and testify to this effect. On the day
the officers swooped down upon the
dairy farm Larson's wife told Sheriff
Clark that only twelve cases of beer
we're owned by her husband, assert
ing the rest belonged to downtown
business men,"
Sheriff Clark made the statement
that Larson stood pat in order to
protect others"
Larson was the goat" said the
sheriff.
The case hinged on the constitu-
tionality of the law which limits the
term residence" to the dwelling
house alone.
Larson's attorneys contended that
barn, cave or any buildings on an
individuals premises was his resi-
dence."
The booze seized at the Larson
farm was found in detached buildings.
Judge Crawford ruled that the Ne
braska prohibition law is specific and
means that the residence" shall be
the actual dwelling place. He said
that having liquor in ones possession
is prima facie evidence of intent to
violate the law.
A. S. Ritchie, chief counsel for Lar
son, thundcred before the court that
ut has gotten to point when some
people in this state consider posses
sion of pint Of whisky as great a
crime as murder"

LIBERTY LOANS
FASCINATING BY
REASON OF SIZE
Fourteen Times as Large as
the First Loan Made by
Great Britain When
War Broke Out.
BY A. r. GROH.

The bigness of the Liberty loan
is fascinating.
We are accustomed to doing the
biggest things here in the U. S. A.
And the Liberty loan" is by far the
biggest loan ever foated by any ma
tion at one time. 1t is just fourteen
times as much as Great Britain raised
in its first war loan in August, 1914.
1t is 40 per cent more than Great
Britain spent for itself and its allies
in the first year of the war.
Yet it IS Only one-sixth Of our
annual income. Our foreign trade
last year was $l,000,00O,000 greater
than the amount of the Liberty
loau."
Three-sevenths of this loan is to
be loaned to the allies and they will
pay the interest on it. Two-sevenths
is to be raised by taxation. That
viii leave only $2,000,O00000 to be
added to our national debt.
Paying the Debt.
And here is a remarkable fact re-
garding payment of war debts. The
only two nations on the face of the
earth which have made.a practice of
clearing UP their war debts in time of
peace are the United States and Great
Britain, the two richest nations on
garth.
When the civil war ended the
United States debt was $2,700,000, 900.
Just twenty-five years later itswas all
paid off except $700,000,000. 4
When the Napoleonic wars ended
in 1872 the British debt was 81, AGO.
100000. In eighty-five years Great
Britain pail off $3,l00,000,000. (This
| learn from tht much-admired En-
cyclopedia Brittanica.)
While these two mighty nations
were paying up their obligations other
nations were ,piling theirs higher.
When the present war started France
had larger debt that any other ma
ton. But its credit was first class.
Its own people furnished most of the
money to their government. Nearly
every Frenchnan owned "rente,"
as the government bonds are called.
Six Loans for Germany.
Germany in the present war so far
has hoated six different loans aggre-
eating $l7,000000,000. This is nearly
one-fourth of its national wealth. The
S3,000,000,000 debt which we will
have when we get the new loan
fl6ated will be only about one six
tieth of our national wealth.
Besides, Germany is not paying any
Of its war debt by taxes. 1t is piling
it up and much of each loan is used
to pay interest on preceding loans.
1t is estimated that about one-fourth
OF the last loan must have been used
to pay interest on the preceding five
loans.
The record of the American, Brit
ish and French governments is one
to be proud of, for it shows that de-
mocracies pay up their debts more
promptly than monarchies.
u. S. Credit the Best.
You can see the credit of the four
nations reflected in the price at which
their bonds sold on the market just
before the war. The figures are for
1918. United States 3 per cent bonds
sold at $l0274 for $l00 bond. French
3 per cents sold at $87.0S. German
3.pSr cents sold at only $3.50. Great
Britain had no per cents.
In other words, the United States
governments credit was considered
about Is per cent better than that
OF Germany and the French govern
ment's credit was considered about
Is per cent better than that Of Ger
many.
