Is the prospect Of the benefits arising
out OF the successful working of the
consortium, he is under no illusion
that the job is an easy one. "The
past experience of similar under
taking he said. "has sufficiently shown
that the difficulties lying in its path
are varied and complicated. We are,
therefore, put to a severe test as to
whether we can demonstrate our
ablllty to cooperate wholehea rtedly; as
you might say, to play the game with
our cards upon the table"
In describing the conception of the
consortium idea, Mr.. Lamont. chair
man of the conferences and head of
the American group, made it plain that
the bankers did not start out on their
own initiative with the idea that they
wanted a lot of money to be made
out of China. Rather our govern
ments came to us and asked us
whether we would not lend our good
offices ID the formation of influential
and powerful banking groups to help
out the situation in China, to hclp
stabilize China and SO help stabilize
the whole Far East"

day or tomorrow" Mr.. Lamont added.
for the purpose of arranging for
China one specific loan or any amount.
The loan question is bound to come up.
1t may come up in the near future; it
is bound to come up in the long
future"
Refers to League
The American banker referred to the
League of Nations, declaring that
"some of us are for the League of Ma
tions and some are for a league of
nations "But let me, perhaps with
undue temerity," he concluded, assure
our friends from Great Britain and
from France and from Japan, whose
nations are already members of the
League of Nations, that America as a
whole is just as strongly for the arts
of peace as they are, and America is
just as fully determined as those coun-
tries are to enter into. and in the not
distant future, some association,
whether it be the or "a that will sup
port these gallant allies of ours in the
late war in preventing all such future
wars"

Sentiment showed Improvement on
the Curb marke. yesterday. and a
firmer tone resulted. Outside interest
was greater and professionals seemed
more in favor of taking the buying
side. Selling pressure apparently was
not so noticeable except in one or two
speculative oils.

of several points before reacting on
profit taking, Other industrials on the
whole were steader, although United

Oil shares as a rule were slightly
higher as demand improved, White Oil

Use of Consortium

Nothing is further from our
thoughts, and l suggest to YOU that
when it is said, Then what is the use
of the consortium? p nv reply would be
that it seemed to me that in all prob
ability the consortium will be able to
exercise pressure by Withholding the
funds, which may be as salutary in its
effects and as enduring in It's results
as any premature supplying of an in
secure government with tunds which
might be wasted in expenditure. If,
for example, by the action of the con-
sortium, by this negatige action the
government of China were led to effect
a reduction in her military forces,
which are already far in excess of her
requirements and which account for
fully one-half of the entire revenue Of
the country, then | think that even if
nothing else were accomplished by
this consortium we should have no rea-
son to regret its inception or its con-
clusion."
According to Sir Charles, the
urgency of the railway problem in
China is very great. The financial
exlgencies of the financial markets of
the world. he said, are not such as to
Justify the hope that il will be pos
sible to sye loans of large amount
for compH hensive railway programs
in China.
But am not going to abandon the
nope" he continued, that it may yet be
found possible TO enable US to COM
plete the comparatively small portion
which still remains. so to speak, sus-

= Traer-Will Logan suffered another
heavy fire loss last week. The new
barn on his farm, five miles north
west Of Traer. went up in smoke
Tuesday afternoon. The building was
only little more than a year old,
built to replace the structure des-
troyed by fire in February Of last
year. 1t is believed the blaze Tuesday
was due to combustion in the hay In
the NOW, the hay being little too
damp when 1t was put up. The roof
was ablaze when first the fire was
discovered. Neighbors gathered
quickly and the chemical truck from
Traer was run out, but nothing could
be done except to prevent the spread
OF the flames to the corn crib, filled
with corn, nearby. The barn burned
quickly, but the hay blazed for hours
Two horses and two calves, the only
animals in the building, were saved
Between thirty-fiVe and forty tons of
good timothy hay were lost besides
about 200 bushels of oats and some
harness and small tools. The barn
cost $4,000, but will cost more to re-
place. Mr.. Logan carried $1,000 insur-
ance on the building and was well in
sured on the hay and grain. The hay.

DE5s NOT SELFISH.
Free ALL Not Me Alone. Plea to Hi.
Friends.


Washington, Aug. 2.-Eugene v.
Debs, socialist candidate for the pres
tdency, has written from the federal
prison at Atlanta, Ca. an open letter
to his friends thruout the country
begging that they desist from all
further attempts to secure his in
dividual release and concentrate
upon an effort to secure freedom for
all political prisoners.
Debs' letter was written to Mrs.
Lucy Robins, secretary Of the central
labor bodies conference of New York.
and was given out at the American
Federation of Labor headquarters
here today.
Please say to the comrades in
New York that while I appreciate
fully all that has been done in my
behalf, object emphatically to any
further appeal being made for me
only to President Wilson," Debs
wrote. II wish no special consid-
GRAFTON and wish to fare no better
than my comrades. AS long as they
are held criminals and convicts my
place is here. My comrades will
therefore understand that they can
serve me best by bringing their in
fiuence to bear in behalf Of ALL"

Strychnine Held
to Have Killed F.
Lmhart; Wisner Held

rama, Aug. 2.-After listening to
testimony all day Saturday, the
rama county grand jury returned an
Indictment, and Frank Wisner. about
80 years old. who has q wife and
three children, the youngest a babe
or about three months, was arrested
In his homo at Clutter on charge
OF numbering Frank Linhart, aged
os' whose body was found in three
rect or water In Salt creek, near
Waltham.
The testimony given to the grand
jury by tWenty-four witnesses makes
an evidence which would charge that
while Wisner and Linhart were fish
ing, Linhart got weiners or sand
Wich containing strychnine. and that
this caused Linhart's death, and later
Linhart's body was pushed into the
creek.
The motive for the crime as in
dicated in the evidence would be
money matters. Wisner, it is al
legged, signed Linhart's name to a
certificate Of deposit for 5000, and
cashed it.
In accusing Wisner, the state is
prosecuting one of the most interest
ing cases in Iowa, and likewise Is
making a case of about as brutal,
coldly planned and pitilessly execut-
ed murder on the calendar of crime.
The salient facts in the testimony
are that strychnine was found in
Linhart's stomach, that Wisner
bought strychnine in Traer, that
Wisner cashed the certificate OF de-
post on April 7, that Wisner gave
Linhart a drink on April 21 which
made Linhart sick and caused his
physician to call the sickness strych-
nine poisoning, that this time Lin
hart did not die, and that on June
10 Linhart was again given strych-
nine and this time did die.
Unless there Is confession and a
plea by the accused, or the case Is
tried In another county. Tama coun-
tvs district court house will be
crowded to the limit when a jury Is
called to decide whether the state
has circumstantial evidence enough
to find Frank wisner guilty Of nur-
der.
