Nearing End Pardon Probe.

witnesses galore have been sub
poenaed and examined in the Rath-
bun pardon investigation during the
past week, and the end Of the evil
dence is said to be due now. Very lit
tie if anything new in the way of de-
velopment of crime or Interior mo-
tives in the case has come out of all
this hearing since the first two days.
What the results will be is merely
matter of opinion at this time, and the
opinion may be. quite prejudiced by
the viewpoint. Even those who at
first thought the stigma of bribery
might possibly develop as against the
governor now state that there is
nothing in that part OF it. The same
parties will tell you that there is
nothing in the evidence to- show that
Attorney General Havner did anything
wrong in his part in the Ida county
grand jury proceedings, since he tes-
titled in hours of examination that all
he was after was to send young Rath-
bun to the penitentiary and if possible
have the pardon revoked. From to-
day to the end of the matter it will
be a question for the judiciary COM
mittee of the house to decide-and it
is the belief that some bitter feeling,
will develop among the members be-
fore they agree upon a report. This
report may be censure of either the
governor or Hayner, or both Some
believe that a strong recommendation
for impeachment of one o. roth high
officers will be proposed. 1t is certain
that disbarment proceedings against
Clark, the Ida Grove lawyer in the
case, will grow out of it all.

GERMANS REQUIRE HUGE AMOUNT ID
 PAY WARS DEBI

WEIMAR, Germany, Feb. 18.- Consternation was caused in the German National Assembly today, when Finance Minister Schaeffer, of the German republic, announced that the war cost Germany one hundred and sixty-one billion marks.
 He asked for credit of twenty five billion, three hundred marks, which is the greatest loan Germany has ever been asked to raise.
 The finance minister explained that nineteen billions alone will be needed to cover the payments of the interest on previous loans for this year, and said that the question of whether Germany would be able to extricate herself from the financial situation she finds herself in would depend largely upon the peace terms the Allies would impose.
