yesterday. She alighted from the Boston
train for a few hours and the distin-
gushed woman. who is widely known in
diplomatic, professional and the financial
circles of two continents, walked about
town.
Miss May has had remarkable career,
filled with tragedy, pathos and strange
adventures. Notwithstanding her desire
to remain incognito. she was recognized
from her pictures which have been APP
pearing lately in the New York papers
and to a representative of this paper

The famous explorer refused to be in

Information regarding her present visit
was obtained. Miss May has been adj
vised to buy a home in the pine woods by
her physicians to recuperate from her
narrowing African adventures, which are
said to prove that truth is indeed stranger
than fiction. 1t is also said that Miss
May has re-discovered in the heart of
Africa the land of Ophir, the dream Of
countless treasure-trove hunters and
which served ii. Ridder Haggard a back
ground for his wonderful romances.

Bill Limits Dividends.

A bill limiting the dividends Of the
Joint stock land banks Of the. Fed
eral Farm Loan system to 8 per
cent was introduced in the Senate
today by Senator Borah, OF Idaho.
All profits in excess OF 8 per cent
would be paid into the Treasury.
The bill does not affect the Fed
eral Land banks, but applies only to
the Joint stock land banks which
are privately organized corporations
operated for profit. Dividends in
some of these banks amount to IL
per cent and their stocn sells as high
rs $140. &c..
\ Senator Borah, in commenting on
the bill. said 1t was in harmony with
an address by Farm Loan Commits
sioner Lobdell at the annual conven-
ton Of Joint stock land banks In
Chicago in August, when he de-
clared that these banks enjoy q
subsidy not granted to any other
enterprise and that 1t was the feel.
ing of members Of the Federal
Farm Loan Board that the tax
exemption privilege given to bonds
Of these banks was difficult to
Justify.
Under the Borah bill the Federal
Farm Loan Board Is granted power
to regulate the salaries and ex-
penses Of joint stock land banks 80
as to prevent the use OF excess
profits by paying high salaries.
