Abusive Hand Language

Swear words Sound" just as bad

when shouted in loud, angry voice,
according TO Hattie Barker, So,
mute and deaf, who brought suit for
divorce against her husband, James
II. Barker, 81, also mute and deaf,
in district court yesterday.
Worse still. Mrs. Barker says she
doesn't get a chance to talk back.
For, she says, her husband simply
turns his back whenever she at
temps to make argument with her
hands.
Told Others, She Says.
Mr.. Barker does not confine his
abusive language to her, but in his
quiet way tells other deaf mutes
of her faults, she asserts, according
to Ross Shotwell, her attorney.
Mrs. Barker alleges in her bill
that her husband is guilty OF cruelty
and nonsupport. She has asked the
court for an injunction TO prevent
her husband from visiting her home,
or conyersing with her. ."

McMullen Will
Run for Governor
Platform of Beatrice Man
Favors MckeIvie Admin
istrative Code System.

Lincoln, Feb. 24.-(Special. -
Adam McMullen of Beatrice filed
today as a republican candidate for
governor and announced his plat
form which favors the McKelvie ad-
ministrative code system of state
government.
The administrative code has been
an issue, but it is the law now and
is in full operation" he said. "It
should be given a fair and thorough
trial. Changing from one govern
ment system to another incurs heavy
expense and entails unlimited con.
fusion.
mo doubt there are parts OF the
code that could be improved as, for
example, the introduction of the civil
service feature. But that is for the
legislature to decide"
McMullen was one of the candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for governor two years ago and was
defeated in the primaries by Gov
crnor Mcke1vie.

Defunct Broker
Company Appeals
to Its Creditors
"Whirlwind Of Uneasiness" Is
Blamed for Failure of New
York Firm-Planning
to Reorganize.

New York, Feb. 24.-Attributing
its downfall to a "whirlwind OF un-
easiness" in Wall Street which, it
was predicted might drag many
more brokerage houses down" unless
confidence could be restored, the
firm OF S. S. Ruskay & Co. today is
sued all appeal to its creditors to
back it in reorganization plan.
The firm was one of five that went
into the hands Of receivers yester-
day, its liabilities being estimated at
$2,S00,000 and its assets at 100000.
Until the receiver and the ac
countants have completed an audit Of
the books" said the company's state
ment, "it will not be possible to def
initely state the assets and liabilities.
When these and the names of the
creditors are definitely ascertained,
the members of the firm contemplate
putting before the creditors reor-
ganjzation plan which will secure to
every creditor substantial dividend.
Nothing constructive could be
done by the firm while they were
being harassed and importuned to
close out and transfer accounts by
numerous clients, as has been the
case for some weeks past. The con-
tinuous attacks upon brokerage
houses throughout the street created
hysterical condition and destroyed
that confidence which was essential
to a continuance OF the business.
"The firm wcathered the storm
bravcly for considerable period Of
time, as is evidenced by the fact that
it paid out some S2,000,000 in the past
six weeks and on the morning of the
receivership there was over $150,O00
in the banks in cash"
