A new BANK PLAN WON'T WIPE SLATE
Harding Hard Times Holding
Assn Formed at Mayetta. ~
Similar Action May Be Taken
By Other Banks.

In an effort to relieve troubles
which the Mayetta Exchange State
bank has had in collecting farm loans,
officers of the bank have organized an
independent common law company to
manage the properties. The subsid-
iary company viii take over several
farm properties, pay loans of the
farmers and attempt to bring the bus
mess to a normal basis.
Evidently a Democrat is connected
with organization of the managing
company which will do business as a
common law corporation. The new
company is to be known as the Hard
ing Hard Times Holding association.
Plan Approved by State.
Plans for organization of the hold
ing company have been approved by
the state banking department. SINH
lar action, it is reported, may be taken
by other banks which are encounter
ing difficulty in making prompt set
tlement on farm paper. J. G. Kell a
director of the bank, placed the pro-
posal before F. H. Foster, state bank
commissioner, and the organization
proposal was approved.
Under the plan officers and stock
holders of the bank will take over the
securities given as collateral by sew
eral farmers. They will pay the loans
to the bank and will then manage the
properties as a common law holding
company. While loans are not large
in the aggregate. several valuable
farm properties are included and will
be taken over under the new manage
ment pOlicy

IN BOOZE FRAUDS
Indictments in n. Y. Expected
To Uncover Big Ring.
Illegal Liquor Withdrawals
Amount to $1O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Jan 5-Booze frauds
in a number of states growing out of
theft and forgery of government
whisky permits, are to be exposed by
evidence now before grand juries. it
became known today following indict-
ment of alleged principals in New
York's $10,00o,000 liquor withdrawal
conspiracy.
New reports on frauds, similar to
those in New York, were made to the
internal revenue bureau. These re-
ports, 1t was understood. will supple

of bootleg rings in conspiracy with
prominent politicians and dry law Of
ficials in Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Ohio, and other states.
Commissioner Haynes was astound-
ed by the revelation of revenue agents.
They show extensive thefts Nof blank
permit forms, upon which bootleggers
or their representatives have written

tated, to suit their requirements for
liquor. Apparently only the size of
the pocketbooks of the bootleggers
has been the gauge which measured
the quantity called for by permits pre-
sented at distil1eries and bonded ware
houses
In New York the frauds have not
been confined to the fraud of the 800
blank forms, 200 of which were used
illegally. Additional evidence today
pointed to the arrest and indictment
of many others.

United States Insists There'II
Be No Debt Cancellation.
Must Be Assured Before Enter
ss ing Economic Farley.

Washington, Jan. Before the
United States will take part in an in
ternational financial conference called
by some other powei, this government
must be assured that no efforts will
be made in such a parley to secure
the cancellation of the 1900, 0,0OO,

tries, it was declared in high admin
istration quarters today.
1t was stated the United States
would not take part in a world eco
nomic conference until officials here
were fully acquainted with the sub
jects to be discussed.
Diplomats of several of the principal
European governments already have
approached representatives of this
government strongly urging participa-
ton in a conference which several of
the foreign governments are willing
to call. once they are assured that the
United States will take part in its
deliberations.
The United States, however, is hold
plan until there has been a complete
agreement as to the agenda on such
conference.
The disposition of the administra-
ton is not to rush into an economic
or financial parley until the arms con-
ference has ended. This decision, how
ever, may be modified by some defi-
mite understanding that the United
States by any participation in a finan-
cial matter would not be "jockeyed"
into any position whereby it would be
forced to debate the advisability of
wiping the slate clear of debts in

This has been a hard winter for
Pete Juliana, miner Breezy Hill.
Crawford county, Kansas. TODAY the
state rung down the curtain on the
third act of Julianas hard luck when
it admitted his three boys, and z
years oid-to the state orphans home
at Atchison.
Juliana's story is the story of the
hardship, privation, sacrifice and
want of the mining camp. Ju1iana
himself is Exhibit A in the record of
human wrecks in the Industrial court
war and the strike which followed
the sending of Alexander Howat to
jail.
Quit Work When Howat Went to Jail.
Last fall when Howat and August
Dorchy went to jail at Columbus, Ju-
Llama Joined that army Of workers who
laid down their tools and went home
in protest against the industrial court
act. Some one told Juliana that hu-
man liberty and right and justice were
at stake. Maybe they were right.
Maybe they were wrong. But it made
no difference in the price which Ju-
Llama has paid for his defiance of the
labor court law and his fight for a
broad and liberal Interpretation of
constitutional rights.
Out in the Breezy Hill district
where strife was a daily event and
" "eAS S14A Az "a ~ AiS0]iiA6 va
the foreign element on every corner
OF the mining town, Juliana was al
ways in the crowd which cheered the
speakers and spoke of the industrial
law in very bad, but quite impressive
English. Juliana had been brought
up according to the ethics of his
union. He had learned the elemen-
tary principle that the mine workers
union came first. He had come to be-
neve that when Howat said forward
march, there was only one thing to
do. Something in his blind faith and
foreign passion told him to fight on
ward and believe that everything
would be all right.
He Put Up a Fight.
So Juliana went home that night
in early October and told his wife that
he had quit. Juliana and his fellows
had quit their jobs so often that the

only half hearted response. That
was filled with faith. His chief was
in jail. He could do only one thing

And he did.
But thru the long weeks Mrs.
Juliana went often to the cupboard
and returned with sigh. Supplies
ran lower and lower. The promised
returns came only in part. The kid
dies began to grow hungry and there
were no warm clothes for the winter.
Mrs. Juliana began to study practical
mathematics. She told her husband
that no job and no money meant want.
Maybe they should compromise. But

too. Yet it was finish fight and
Juliana wouldn't quit.
His wife Left Him.
Then the breaking point came and
Mrs. Juliana left little note and
Breezy Hill saw her no more. Juliana
looked after the kiddieS and washed
the few cracked dishes and made his
own bed. He didn't have so much
time for the meetings.
Now Juliana himself is finding the
load too heavy. He has written to the
state board of administration and his
three youngsters are going to the state
orphans home.
Some day Juliana wants to take
them home again, SO his letter states
In the meantime he will try to pay

Admitted to State Home.
Maybe Juliana will go on with his
fight. No one at the state house seems
to know. But Malcolm Gray, secre-
tary of the state board and brother
in-law of Governor Allen, will see that
the youngsters get the best to be had
at the state home. Some day, per-
haps, Mrs Juliana will come home
Maybe the Industrial strife will end.
When it does the state will do its
full share toward putting Juliana's
home in order again.

NO INCREASED FARES HERE


Street car fares will not be increased
in Topeka.
The public utilities commission has
dismissed the application of the To-
peka Railway company for 10-cent
rate here. 1t has taken similar action
regarding fare boosts for Rosedale and

Notices were sent to the street rail-
way companies some time ago that the
dockets of the commission were to be
cleared up. They were told that un-
less they presented their cases at once
they would be disposed of. Now the
cases have been wiped from the calen-
dar without a hearing.
In its order the commission directs
that the street car cases be dismissed.

MUST FILL SEAT
Republican Majority in Senate
Now Being Threatened.
Leaders Are Anxious To Fill
Sen. PenrOSe'S Place.
FORD -NENBERRY VOTE CRISIS
Several G.. o. P. VIII Join
Demos and Some Doubtful.
Democrats Refuse "Pairing''
Rule and Count All Noses.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Unexpecte
cancellation by Democratic senators of
the pairs they had with absent Re
publican members served today to
further tighten the lines in the final
battle over the Ford-Newberry cleo
ton controversy which is to begin in
the senate tomorrow or Saturday.
The Democratic move was con-
strued by Republican leaders seeking
to keep Senator Newberry in his seat
as indicating that the Democratic side
is preparing to vote solidly, with the
possible exception of Senator Watson,
Of Georgia. to unseat him.
1t is customary for a senator who
expects to be present on roll call
to be paired" with a senator on the
opposite side who intends to be ab-
sent. In this way. a senator is usually
paired" on the affirmative, the sena-
tor with whom he is paired" on the
negative side and they are not counted
in the tabulation of those senators
present and voting.
Democratic senators have decided
that every one of their votes shall be
counted on the roll call which is to
decide whether Newberry is to retain
his seat.
They are mastering their forces in
q concerted move 10 throw In1rCy-IlVe
Democratic votes or but one less than
the entire minority membership of the
senate against the Michigan senator.
Need Seat Filled.
If the seat of the late Senator Pen
rose is filled, the Republican member
ship of the senate will number SO. The
decision of Newberry not to vote him
self and the enforced absence of Sem
ator Crow. of Pennsylvania, because
of illness, will reduce the number of
Republican votes to ST, unless Pen
roses successor is named.
Six Republican senators are regard
ed as certain to vote against Newberry
-Borah, Idaho; Kenyon, Iowa; La
Toilette Wisconsin; Ladd. North Da-
kota; Norris. Nebraska, and Norbeck,
South Dakota, making a total of Al
votes believed sure to be cast against
him.
Half a dozen or more Republican
senators, including McNary, of oregon.
and Willis. Of Ohio, are considered
doubtful.
Even counting the absentee Repub-
lican senators. who now include john
son, of California. and Lenroot, of
Wisconsin. the Republican leaders
claim they will have eight to ten
votes with which to command the
majority necessary to prevent New
berry from being ousted from his seat.

WAS DRIVEN TO SUICIDE
Assaria Business Man Dies and Daugh-
ter Admits Her Charges as False.

Salina, Kan. Jan. 5.-John z.
Hughes. a prominent business man
at Assaria, this county, died early
act by a charge made by his Oldest
daughter, Miss Marie A. Hughes, 10,
which told of immoral relations be-
tween her and her father.
In an affidavit made by Marie to-
day she says she told the falsehood
to her sister Sadie because her father
had punished her for staying out late
at night, not thinking of the conse-
quences. In the sworn staten ent
which was made after her fathers S
death, the girl declares there never
was anything of a wrongful nature be-
tween her and her father and that he
had always treated her in a way that
was for her best interest.
Hughes was a Mason and for some
time had been a district manager of
the A. o. U. w. lodge in this state.
