The bear seemed to realize that his great fight
had come. He drove into the hills and wound his
way in and out among them. He was too crafty
to make bold dash for liberty He knew he was
surrounded But for seven days and nights he
kept out of range Toward the end of this thrilling
week Patterson caught sight of the beast mora

gradually grew smaller But there was no chance
for certain shot,
Then one day through the trees came the
frantic yeping of the dog who knew bears. The
bowls meant only one thing Bruin could be cor

enough. He plunged into the underbrush, shouting
to the young man to ahead at right angles to

those swishng, powerful paws. The bear his eyes
blazing with rage, his jaws drawn back from those
great teeth in vicious snars, watched his chance to
pounce on his tormentor Then he saw the hunters.
His eyes fell first on the young man. Patterson
was entangled in the brush at the edge OF the
clearing.
The bear froze, his eyes fixed on the young
man. The animals flashing eyes calculated the
width of the clearing. Then he drew his huge

The great grizzly, caught
at the top of his stride,
leaped forward on his head
and rolled over. He was
not killed. His mighty
paws, one blow Of which
would kill a bull outright,
threshed about, ripping up
the earth around him. His
neck had been broken By
the shot, but his courage
was not. He pulled himself
up again. But the woods
rang again with another re-
port from the heavy as.
Bruin shuddered, his head
slouched forward, he sank
down into a huddled heap
and lay still.

Reserve Board
Modifies Rules
Banks Allowed to Deal in
Bills to 10 Per Cent
Of Capital.

Washington. March 2S.-The fed
eral reserve board was understood
to have removed restrictions upon
the dealing in bills of acceptance by
banks, to enable them to accept bills
in an amount up to 10 per cent OF
their capital stock without presenta-
ton of the documentary evidence OF
the transaction.
According to high officials, the ac-
ton of the board is a constructive
step which could enable American
interests to maintain their footing in
the financing of international trade
upon equal terms with foreign bank
crs.
Heretofore, it was explained, the
federal reserve board has required
banks under its jurisdiction to de-
mand the document covering ship
ment of goods before accepting a
bill drawn for the financing OF the
transaction.
American bankers have complain
ed, it was asserted, that the restric-
tons were giving business to for
eign financial institutions which
should have been handled in this
country. The board, officials de-
clare, by removing this restriction up
to 10 per cent OF banks capital,
had made it possible for American
banks to compete with London and
other European financial centers
without the handicap of the time ele.
ment required in the transmission OF
papers.

Final Vote

Four Nebraska Members Sup
port, and Two Oppose Bill
in Roll Call-Passage
Never in Doubt.
Hall Of House Crowded
BY E. c. SNYDER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Rs..

Washington, March p. - Th.
house today, by vote OF 335 to 10.
passed the bonus bill after hye hours
OF intensely interesting debate.
There never was time when the
passage OF the bill was in doub,
after the ways and means committee
had taken weeks to frame the meas
ure, laboriously going over every
proposition. rejecting the bad fea-
lures OF each and eventually agreeing
upon certificate plan to adjust the
compensation OF the men who had
gone out from farm. counting room,
factory and professions and been alb
sorbcd into the army OF the United
States for the purpose OF stopping
German aggression.
The vote OF the Nebraska delegates
on the final passage OF the bill stood.
Andrews, Evans. Jefferis and Kin
kaid for, and Mclaughlin and Reavis
against.
The vote OF the Iowa members
was: kopp, Hull, Sweet, Haugcn.
Cole, Ramseyer, Dowell, Towner,
Green. Dickinson and Boies, repubi-
cans, all in favor of the bill.
House Crowded.
Ordinarily the house has been the
least attractive to the great many OF
people in the last few months, the
senate holding the center OF the
stage, because OF the treaties now
pending. Today, however. the hall
OF the house was crowded to sufSca-
tion, people fighting for vantage
space to either hear or see the house
in action on the bonus bill.
Representative Mclaughlin OF Ne
braska, who had sent out question
naire last week to 500 or more of his
constituents asking for their views
on the bonus, told of the result Of
that referendum in one of the best
speeches heard during the debate.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that he had
voted for the first bonus bill
and he would like to vote for the one
under present consideration, but he
could not do so for the reason that
the present bill makes no tax levy
of any kind to meet the expenses
that it will incur.
Estimates Too Small.
The first bonus bill, the congress
man from York county pointed out,
carried with it ample tax provisions.
