CATTLE men CAN
GET LOANS IF A
DIP LAW IS PASSED
War Finance Corpora
ton Announces Its
Conditions
NEEO AN ELECTION HERE
If Dipping Is Voted a
Loan Can Be Secured
Immediately

The cattle owners in Putnam
county are in an unfavorable posi-.
ton to obtain loans from the War
Finance Corporation, because this
county has not adopted compulsory
dipping of cattle.
Following are the terms under
which loans may be made, as sci
forth in a letter from Eugene Meyer
Ir-. managing director of the Wal
Finance Corporation, to the regiona
committee, the Florida members o1
which are: Thomas L. Wilson, Bar.
tow; w. F.. Coachman, Jacksonville;
and Dexter M Lowry, Tallahassee:
a. All cattle on which loans are
predicated shall be confined in ample
pastures or ranges owned, leased or
otherwise controlled by the borrower,
in such a manner that the herd or
herds may be conveniently inspected
at any time by the representatives of
the War Finance Corporation. Such
enclosed pastures or ranges to have
an adequate water supply for the cat
tie, and sufficient dipping watts for
tick eradication purposes In the
case of lease, same shall be for such
time as the War Finance Corporation
may deem necessary for protection of
the loan.
80. That loans be made only on
cattle in tick-free areas, or in coun-
ties which have voted in favor of tick
eradication; this provision being ne
cessary in order that the cattle on
which loans are made may access to
the markets before maturity of the
loans"
In order to facilitate the making
of loans to cattlemen in Florida and
Georgia, who can comply with the
terms, there has been organized the
South Florida Cattle Loan Company
with capital of $25O,OO0. It's head
quarters will be in Barlow and
Thomas L.. Wilson, a pioneer cattle
man, has accepted the presidency.
All loans must be negotiated be-
fore July l, 1922, for a period of one
year from date of loan with privilege
of renewal two years. The maximum
rate of interest which can be charg-
ed the cattlemen is only seven and
per cent per year.
Cattle owners in 93 Florida coun-
ties can avail themselves of the gov
ernment finances because those coun-
ties are either released from quaran-
line or have voted for compulsory
Tipping of cattle. A special election
'an be held in this county to remedy |
he situation, if the people want to
lelp the cattlemen out of their catas-
rophe of closed markets and inabil- !
ty to secure loans from the govern
nent at reasonable rates.

Deplores That He Has
Not Voice to Give
Back His Thanks
HAD RIDDEN IN CORTEGE
His Physician Says He
Suffered No Ill
Effects
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. 11..-Formel
President Wilson made his first pub
lie appearance today since he left
the White House riding in the funera
procession for the unknown deat
soldier and later greeting a GROVE
gathered at he hos.re. s'4' '+-'
Everywhere Mr.. Wilson was given
demonstration. When his car
riage entered the funeral line at the
foot of the Capitol hill he was
greeted with a fluttering of hand
kerchiefs and then with hand clap
pings and cheering, which continued
until he left the line after passing
the White Houee, where he eXchang-
ed salutes with President Harding
The demonstration at his home
was of great proportion. 1t was ar
ranged as non-partisan affair by \
committee of seven women for whom
Hamilton Holt, of New York, was
spokesman. President Wilson made
his first public utterance since he
was taken i'll more than two years
ago.
"I wish l had voice enough to reply
to you," he said. II can only thank
you from the bottom of my heart.
God bless you"
The former Presidents words
brought renewed applause.
Goodbye and thank you," Mr..
Wilson responded.
Sang Loved Old Song
Voices started up "My Country 'Tis
of Thee" and at the end of the first
stanza Mr.. Wilson kissed his hand
to the crwods while Mrs. Wilson at
his side wept silently. A minute
more and Mr.. Wilson had re-entered
his home, but it was half an hour be-
fore the crowd dispersed. The for
mer President appeared at window
on the second floor in response to re-
peated calls and cheers for the
League of Nations Mr.. Wilson
vigorously waved his hat in his
right hand. Repeatedly men in the
crowd called for cheers for the
League and each time Mr.. Wilson's
face lighted up and he waved his
hat in unison with the hurrahs of the
crowds.
Of the demonstration which he re-
ceived today on Pennsylvania avenue
he said to a group of correspondents
at was rather embarrassing because
it was given in a funeral procession"
Rear Admiral Cary T.. Grayson,
Mr.. Wilson's personal physician,
said Mr.. Wilson apparently had sut-
fered no i'll effects from the ride.

UNKNOWN AMERICAN HERO IS LAID IN
LIVE MARBLE CRYPT WITH HONORS AS
BEFORE ACCORDED TO ANY MAN
DISARMAMENT CONFAB
WILL BEGIN ITS FIRST
MEET PERFUNCTOR|LY
Delegates Committed to
Cooperation to Ease
Thor's Burden
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. 11..-With the
eyes of all the world fixed hopefully
upon them the accredited spokesmen
of the powers will meet in Washing
ton tomorrow to try to find way to
ease the heavy burden of armaments.
In the historic quest Great Britain,
France, Italy, Japan, the United
States, group which, acting to-
gether, can turn the whole tide of
civilization into new channels, all
have pledged a solemn and deter
mined cooperation.
In addition Mhina, Belgium, Por-
tugal and the Netherlands, invited be-
cause of their vital interest in the
pertinent and crucial problems of
the far east, will sit in the confer
ence to complete the circle of those
who are to strive for the new day
of International relationship.
Outward manifestations of conf
dence in the success of the negotia-
tions never have been more in promi-
nence than on the eve of the assem-
bling in formal conclave. Every ma
ton is declared by it's leaders to be
Eready to come to the conference table
with spirit of unqualified good will
for every other and behind there is a
great urging force of world opinion
seeking translation into the covenant
of permanent friendship.
Among the statesmen and diplo-
mats of the visiting nations the great
topic of interest tonight was the ad-
dress made at Arlington today by
President Harding, who summoned
the conference into being and who
will welcome it to American soil to-
morrow. Upon every hand were
heard expressions of satisfaction that
in paying his tribute to Americas
soldier dead the chief executive
grasped his opportunity to renew the
pledge of the United States to take
its full share of leadership in the at
tainment of better order.
For the most part tomorrow's
opening session which will be open to
the public is expected to assume a
character quite perfunctory being
turned over to the business of or
ganization.

|ROGRAMS EVER ARRAGNED IN STATE
SECRET DIPLOMACY IS
CRIME AGAINST NATION
Says SENATOR BORAH
Mourning Scenes MAS
querade" If Conference
Meets in Secret
OBy Associated Prensl

schenectady, N. Y, Nov. IL
Mourning scenes today at the burial
of Americas unknown" heri will be
a masquerade" if secret diplomacy
and armament competition are to
continue, Senator Borah, of Idaho
declared tonight in an address here.
Open decisions and final discussion
and action in the armament limita
tion conference were demanded by
Senator Borah..
"No one would deny the right of
representatives of nations" he said
'to meet in private, in secrecy if they
chose, and there discuss preliminary
matters and initiate their proposals.
But we do urge that before any
proposition, any proposed agreement,
or understanding, is consummated, or
closed, it shall be given to the pub
lie and that its final consideration
and discussion by the Conference
shall be in the open and its ultimate
adoption be in public" "
Taking Americas unknown" as
his text, Senator Borah said he was
"the man who won the war"
"The unknown soldier was not
only unknown in the war but he was
unknown in all the proceedings, all
the intrigue or understandings d or
policies, which first brought on the
war and into which this nation was
finally drawn the Senator said in
prefacing his plea for open decisions
at the Washington conference.
Behind closed DOORS" Mr.. Borah
continued, "the unknown's life was
treated as a miserable inanimate
thing, a mere cog in the intricate and
remorseless machine of modern dip
lomacy
'If few men in secret" he added,
ARRIVE at understandings and agree
ments, which, either legally or nor
mally, bind a whole people, then we
are under the control and are the
mere playthings of an intolerable and
unconscionable autocracy.. We will
never get rid of war until we get rid
of that practice. The spider of in
trigue weaves only in the dark
But | believe the unknown sold
ier' will not be unknown nor uncon-
sidered in the future. The most con-
elusive lesson of the war is that the
questions of peace or Of war should
be taken out of the hands of the few
and placed under the eye and super
vision of those upon whom the. fear
full sacrifices fall when war comes ,
This may not be accomplished in d
day, for the old practices, or GUS
toms, while no longer openly defend
ed, are now being protected through
duplicity.. But if we are to have
peace, if we are to protect the lives
and fortunes of ourselves and our
children, this change will have to
come"

and large cork-screw.
Did Lady Brackenstall say that
screw was uSed?"
mo, you remember that she was
senseless at the moment when the bot
tie was opened"
"Quite so. AS matter of fact, that
screw was not used The bottle was
opened with a pocket screw, probably
contained in knife, and not more
than an inch and a half long. If you
will examine the top of the cork, you
will observe that the screw was driv
en- in three times before the cork was
extracted. 1t has never been trans
fixed. This long screw would have
transfixed it and drawn it with a sin
gle pull. When you catch this fellow,
you will find that he has one of these
multiplex knives in his possession"
Excellent" said Hopkins.
But these glasses do puzzle me, l
/ confess. Lady Brackenstall actually
! saw the three men drinking, did she
not?"
Yes; she was clear about that"
Then there is an end Of it. What
; more is to be said? And yet you must
admit that the three glasses are re-
| markable, Hopkins. What? You see
| nothing remarkable? Well, WELL let
! it pass. Perhaps when a man has
special knowledge and special powers
! like my own, it rather encourages him
to seek a complex explanation when
| a simpler one is at hand. Of course
| it must be a mere chance about the
glasses. Well good morning Hopkins
| don't see that I can be of any use
to you, and you appear to have your
! case very clear. You will let me
know when Randall is arrested, and
any further developments which may
occur. l trust that shall soon have
to congratulate you upon a successful
conclusion. Come, Watson, fancy
that we may employ ourselves more
profitably at home.
| During our return journey, I could
see by Holmes face that he was much
puzzled by something which he had
observed. Every now and then, by an
| effort he would throw off the impress
sion, and talk as if the matter were
clear, but then his doubts would settle:
down upon him again. and his knitted
| brows and distracted eyes would
show that his thoughts had gone back
once more to the great dining room
! or the Abbey Grange, in which this
midnight tragedy had been enacted.
At last, by sudden impulse, just as our
train was crawling out of suburban
station, he sprang on to the platform
and pulled me out after him.
Excuse me, my dear fellow" said
he, as he watched the rear carriages
of our train disappear round a curve.
Il am sorry to make you the victim
of what may seem a mere whim but
on my life, Watson, simply can't
leave that case in this condition. Ev-
cry instinct that l possess cries out
against it. It's wrong-it's all wrong
Ill swear that it's wrong And yet

Holmes was down on his knees. ex-
aiming with great attention the
knots upon the red cord with which
the lady had been secured. Then he
carefully scrutiniZed the. broken and

How did the burglar know no one

Exactly, Mr.. Holmes, exactly. You
| put the very question which I have
asked myself again and again. There
can be no doubt that this fellow must
have known the house and it's habits.
He must have perfectly understood
| that the servants would all be in bed
at that comparatively early hour, and
that no one could possibly hear bell
ring in the kitchen. Therefore he must
have been in league with one of the
servants. Surely that is evident. But
there are eight servants, and all of
good character"
Other things being equal" said
Holmes. 'one would suspect the one

Yes, it was by their light and the

that the burglars saw their way
about"
And what did they take?"

not taken things for granted, if had
examined everything with the care
which | should have shown, and had
we approached the case de novO and
had no cut and dried story to warp
my mind, should 1 not then have
found something more definite to go
upon? OF course l should. Sit down
on this bench, Watson. until a train
for Chiselhurst arrives, and and allow
me to lay the evidence before you,
imploring you in the first instance to
dismiss from your mind the idea thai
anything which the maid or her mis-
tress may have said must necessarily
be true. The lady's charming per
sonality must not be permitted to
warp our judgment.
Surely there are details in her
story which. if we looked at it in cold
blood. would excite our suspicion.
These burglars made a considerable
haul at Sydenham a fortnight ago.
Some account CT them and their ap-
pearance was in the papers, and would
naturally occur to anyone who wished
to invent story in which imaginary
robbers should play a part. AS mat
ter Of fact burglars who have done
a good stroke of business are, as a
rule. only to glad to enjoy the pro
ceeds in peace and quiet without en-
barking on another perilou' under
taking. Again, it is an unusual oc-
curence for burglars to operate al SO
early an hour, it is unusual for burg
lars to strike lady to prevent her
screaming, since one would imagine
that was the sure way to make her
scream; it is unusual for them to COM
NIT murder when their own number is
sufficient to overpower one man; it
