which was forwarded together with the
body, the death of the officer was caus-
ed by hemorrhage and shock follow

Capt. Finney was shot while at the
Post Guard House in Preside, near
San Francisco, where he had been
transferred about ten days prior to
his death. He was taken to the Let
terman-Gent Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.

NO POLITICS IN
FARM LOAN BANKS
Board Asserts Party Record No
Recommendation for the
Directorate.
WANT MEN OF FITNESS

Washington, Jan. 7.-Organization
of the twelve federal land loan banks
has been undertaken, the farm loan
board announced tonight, with de-
termination to eliminate politics en-
tirely fromethe selection of the men,
who are to set UP and operate the
new institutions. The boards state
ment, explaining that pressure is be-
ing exerted for the appointment OF
men of party influence, particularly
democrats, says:
1T may be stated without quail
'ication that these jobs will not be
handed out as political plums. The
only consideration which will be
taken into account is that of merit,
efficiency and ability. There is no di-
vision of opinion among the members
of the board as to this principle"
For each bank the board is to
name five directors, from whom 4
president, secretary, treasurer and
vice president, will be chosen as
managers. In addition there will be
for each bank registrar to act as
flduciary agent of the government.
The board Announces that in max
ing these appointments, every effort
will be made to get men whose fit
ness will commend them, not only to
farmers, who must borrow money,
but to investors who must look upon
farm loan bonds 'as safe and prime
securities if they are to buy them and
accept a low rate of interest.
Secretary McAdoo, made public to-
night letter he has addressed to
the governors of all states, urging
that they recommend to their respec-
tive legislatures, the enactment OF
laws to make farm, loan bonds legal
for trust funds and saw
ings banks, where such laws are
necessary. Mr.. McAdoo also has
written to the various farm loan or
ganizations of each state pointing out
the desirability of cooperation by
them with the governors in any meas
ures adopted, looking to the enact
ment of such legislation.
