make up their mind what had taken
place. The grinding crash was ter
rife, and many screamed and leaped
over the turnstiles to get out to the
street.
The passengers in the Fort Lee car
were terribly shaken up, and only a
few were injured, suffering mostly
from shock and flying glass. Every
seat was occupied, and many were
standing as is usually the case. There
was little or no excitement in the car,
because after the impact, the car went
along on the rails till just in front of
the ferry, and the passengers didn't
have time to realize their plight. No
one jumped off because they couldn't,
the rear doors being closed.
Judge Thompson, of Leonia, was in
the Fort Lee car. He said:
"No, l didn't know what was hap
pening or what was liable to happen.
1t was all over in no time. From the
moment we were struck the Fort Lee
car increased it's speed, and my worst
fear was when we left the track and
careened over. l was dead sure we
were going to be overturned, and GER
tainly many would have been killed
had this taken place. l was seated
with my young niece, nd scrambled
out as soon as we stopped, pretty bad
ly shaken up but unhurt.
A Josephson of Grantwood, got on
the Fort Lee car at the Palisade Post
Office. He was standee. Speaking
of the accident he said:
81 was sure we were in serious
trouble, and thought my last hour
had come. was sure of it. 1t was
terrorizing moment. Whatever was
the matter with that Englewood car
motorman do not know. but he took
all the chances coming down that hill
at such speed. Besides, even without
his headlights it was light enough to
see the Fort Lee ahead with it's troll
ley pole off the wire. The same thing
had occurred up at the horseshoe
curve, and he was right on US there,
only we got away in time When we
ran off l leaned down and bent over
to prevent being hit with flying glass.

self for whatever was going to hap
pen. l am sure we would have gone
into the Hudson but for the ferry
house gates. We had enugh speed

AS soon as the car came to stop,
the injured We're gathered up and
taken into the ferryhouse and laid on
the floor before the FURNISHES. C. T.

EXPECTS A LARGE BUSINESS
Presi dent Of Wichita Branch Believes
Loans Amounting to $6,o00,oo0
viii Be Made This Year.

Dan F. Callahan, president of the
Wichita Federal Land Bank, has re-
turned from Washington, where he at
tended conference Of the presidents
OF the twelve federal land banks with
Secretary Meade and members OF the
federal farm loan board He express
ed qualification over the fact that this
conference had fixed flat interest
rate OF per cent, applying to all
parts of the United States. He de-
clared that this interest rate would
prove a great boon to the farmers OF
the Middle West, and predicted that
within year the Wichita Federal
Land Bank will have made loans ag-
gregating to 10 million dollars.
Mr.. Callahan announced that the
bonds issued by the twelve federal
land banks would be placed on the
market at AZ per cent, but probably
would be sold at a premium.
To borrow from federal land bank,
farmers are required to organize them
selves into groups containing at least
ten borrowers and each group asking
for at least $4,000 of loans. The
Wichita Federal Land Bank is now
prepared to furnish blank form Of
articles of association to make the or
ganization of these groups simple and
easy. Other necessary blanks will
also be furnished on application.
Farmers are permitted to borrow up
to SO per cent Of the appraised value
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-03-30

of the land, plus 20 per cent Of the
value Of the permanent insured i'm
provements. Loans must be retired
on the amortization plan, which means
repayment by fixed annual payments
throughout the period OF the loan The
loans may run from five to forty
years, at the option of the borrower.
The object of these long time loans
is to enable the farmer to meet these
annual payments out of the increased
earnings of the land, made possible
by the investment Of the borrowed
money.

CALLING A SPE cIAL ELECTION

The supreme court has ruled that In nominating a
candidate for q special election, provided the office Is
one ordinarily subject to party action, a regularly organ
izer political party may. n II chooses. make its nomina-
ton by means Of 9 deiegate convention, under the laws
governing such conventions, which laws, SO far as they
relate to special elections, have not been repealed. such
elections are called by the governor Of the state. II fol-
that the governor cannot call an election without
giving sufficient time for the convention system, as pro-
yided forrb law, to operate.
This is 30 clear as scarcely to require argument. It
would be absurd to suppose that q governor could rem
der q law nugatory merely by Juggling the time Of hold
Ing the convention. That would give us a law which is
% law only so long as the governor pleases. Nominations
must be flied 80 days before the election, IL D nominal

more than 80 days before the election In order that It's

THE ATTACK ON ESSEN

The attack by French aviators on the Krupp works
at Essen cannot be regarded as an act Of reprisal for
raids by German avtators on French or British cities.
The practice of the Germans has been to sail over cities
and drop bombs on them, regardless of whore the
missiles fell. And the vast majority Of those who have
been killed or injured in this way have been civilians,
frequently women and children. The points Of attack
have not been military cities in any sense Of the word
nor, as a rule, have they been Of any military import
ance. These attacks have undoubtedly been parts Of
the carefully conceived German plan to terroriEe the
civil population Of the countries with which they are at
war.
Essen is the home of the great Krupp factories from
which are turned out a large share of the guns and am
munttion used by the German armies. AS such, the
city. or the factories adjacent to it, are military in the
highest degree, and they are legitimate points of attack.
The exploit Of the French aviators in destroying about
one-fourth Of these factories is an act OF war, perfectly
legitimate. and those who engaged in it merit all the
praise that is being bestowed on them for their share in
the work. We hope sincerely that other air men Of our
allies will in the near future find 1t convenient to make
another visit and destroy the rest Of the Krupp works.

JOYFUL MEETING WHEN MOTHER AND KIDNAPPED

Happiness Comes at End OF Weary
Quest TO Gray-Haired Woman and
Youth OF 1.-two Sisters He Had
Never Seen Are Now Rejoicing.

Portland, Ore, July 11.-Ralph
Stewert clasped in his arms a white
haired little woman here today, look
cd into her eyes for the first time in
his life, kissed her and whispered:
"Mother."
The door closed and they were left
alone-the mother from whose side
boy was kidnapped at birth 10
years ago, and the son who had
searched a continent to find her.
Meanwhile, In an adjoining room,
waited two girls, n II, the other 16,
Ralph's alf-sisters whom he had
eve seen.
Two months ago Ralph stewert
came to Portland in despair. He had
called on the police of every city of
size in North America to help him
md his mother. The result was fall
ure.
He had only one clue, or thought
ne had, and that turned out a mis-
take. He had heard his mothers
name was Amy. It was Annie.
AS q last resort he went to Will F.
spencer, Of the home finding bureau
OF the Juvenile court here, and half
heartedly told his story.
Spencer spent several days search
ing dust covered marriage records
and birth certificates in the basement
OF the courthouse, hunting for the
name Amy" Then he gave it UP
and turned to the newspapers.
The story Of Ralph's kidnapping
was published together with what he
knew OF his history. He had been left
on the steps Of the Washington Chill
dren's Home Finding society in Sc
attic by a woman, supposedly the one
hat kidnapped him. and later was
adopted by a family named Rowe In
that city.

be held for the purpose of filling the vacancy created BY
the death OF Congressman H. 7. Heigesen. PROPER no.
tics was given Of precinct caucuses, county conventions
and the district convention. The voters at the precinct
caucuses elected delegates to the county conventions.
The county conyentions elected delegates to the district
ccrvsntion. In that convention were nearly 200 dele
Eatas thus formally cIbsen by the Republican voters Of
every part OF the district. The convention nominated
Oiger 3. Burtnesg for congress
When the call for the election was issued the time
for the election had not yet been fixed BY the governor.
On several occasions Governor Frazier had declared that
he would not call an early election, as thsre was ho ur-
gsncy about the matter, and the general understanding
was that he would not cali the election until October Or
November. when farm work would be over. Shortly after
ths convention had been called, ana without warning at
any kind, the governor called the election for Julv 10.
