Year-Old Secret

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Col. James
Hamilton Davidson, former COM
mander of the 122nd infantry, today
revealed what he said was the burial
place of John Wilkes Booth, assas-
sin of President Abraham Lincoln,
considered a secret for 60 years.
Col. Davidson, now living here, be-
lieves he is the only living man who
knows. Recently Edwin H. Sampson,
who said he was one of the seven
men who disposed of Booths body,
died in Moline, Illinois, without re-
vealing what had been done with the
body.
Col. Davidson was in command at
Portsmouth, Virginia, on the night
of Booths burial, and was told of it
by Colonel Baker, head of the secret
service Of the army. Since then
Davidson said he has kept the secret
given hing. He has been blind for
IL years. Booths body was buried in
the basement of warehouse at
Portsmouth, in deep grave, and
covered with acid, Davidson says
Col. Baker told him. The grave was
then filled with lime stone and dirt.

BILL AGAINST bad LIQUOR" IS
SUBJECT OF HUMOROUS DEBATE

"This is the point said Rep.
Starke. 1T is to get the fellow who
makes poor liquor. Under the pres
ent law, in some cases chemists have
testified that liquor sold contained
wood alcohol or other ingredients
which made it unfit for beverage
purposes, and the bootlegger went
free. There is case in the supreme
court now where chemist said the
liquor was unfit for beverage pur-
poses and the juxs5And it was"

WASHINGTON
IS SILENT
Won't Tell Attitude on French
Plan of Finance

Washington, Feb. 21.-Washington
officials are showing a reluctance
to indicate the attitude of the Amer
lean government toward plans of the
French government to seek two new
loans from banking interests in this
country, which have raised expecta-
tion that they will be somewhat
closely scrutinized when presented
in more mature form.
In their present status, as disclosed
in the announcement in the Chamber
Of Deputies Thursday by Finance
Minister Clementel, that promise of
floating the. two loans aggregating
$135, 100000 had been obtained in the
United States, high officials here
have refused to comment on the
French plan.

sold.
Or, from another viewpoint, if
good liquor is unlawful the House
certainly wants to rule out bad
booze.
Both interpretations were brought
out during good natured discussion
of House Bill No. $50, introduced at
the request Of states attorneys to
make liquor laws more enforceable.
Rep. Stark Of Starke county was ask

Rep. Starke explained the bill add

excitement he wants, Depew believes,
and his home should offer rest, re-
taxation, understanding and sympa-

is made the most wonderful one in
Webster's entire assortment.
No Whirlwind ROmances
The veteran Depew is opposed to
whirlwind courtships and hasty mar
riages, although he admits that many
of these can be labeled as "happy
ever after"
But his idea is that choosing a

"In a shop" he says, we see many
objects of art we admire and would
like to possess, but when we get them
in our home, perhaps they don't just
belong in that environment. Posi-
bly, they are too fancy, too bizarre,
too drab or too colorless.
The Most Priceless Thing
"A wife or husband is the most
priceless thing that one may ever
hope to possess, and the selection
should be made with the greatest
care.
"There- are instances of love at

whirlwind romances that turn out

BY ,NEA Service
New York, Feb. 21.-One of the
smartest and most successful busi-
ness men of the last half century ad-
mits he isn't "smart enough to look
after himself"
And he goes further than that.
He calmly broadcasts to all the
men in the world that there is none
among them who is really smart
enough to look after himself. Men,
he says, just aren't built that way.
This man ought to know. He is
nearing his 9ist birthday--a life ripe
with experience. N.
The Real Secret
His long life has been credited to
various things, but he now gives the
real secret back of it in these words:
81 should never have lived to my
present age of 80 years if my wife
had not guarded my health so care
fully
This man is Ghauncey NJ. Depew,
former senator, famous after-dinner
speaker and still active in railroad
and other business affairs.
"My wife has made my home so
pleasant that although | keep up my
dues in a number of clubs, l rarely
visit them," he says. "Why should |
when my own fireside is SO much
more enjoyable"
And then with twinkle in his eye,
he added:
''You know, there isn't man alive
who is smart enough to look after
himself. He doesn't know how in
the first place and he wouldn't do
it, il he did. Men just aren't built
that way.
The First Responsibility
"The first responsibility of a wife,
believe, is to look after the health
Of her husband. So much depends on
that. If he has health, he has the
capacity to achieve and to work to
put himself into that position in life
where his wife can be proud Of him
and proud to be at his side.
"After mans physical health, a
wife should guard him spiritually and

The House of Representatives., by
its action yesterday afternoon, indi-
Gated policy against radical changes
affecting the banking situation in
the state. Several bank bills, one of
them Senate bill, came before the
House during its session. House
action on banking bills follows: t.
Killed House Bill 234, providing
for compulsory deposit of public
funds in the Bank of North Dakota
and for establishment of branch
banks of the Bank of North Dakota,
in various counties.
Killed House Bill No. IS, which
would differentiate in amount of in
terest paid on time deposits, SO
three percent would be maximum
payable on certificates of deposit OF
six months standing or less and four
percent per annum on other certifi-
Gates, provided the Guaranty Fund
commission might increase the au-
thorized rate to percent.
Refused to amend Senate Bill No.
2, which reduces maximum interest
rate which may be charged by banks
from 10 to percent, by providing
that percent shall be the maximum
after January 1, 1927.
Killed Hosse Bill No. 233 provid-
ing one percent of the average daily
deposits of banks per year should
be levied for payment of depositors
in closed hanks
Debate Branch Banks
The House engaged in brief debate
on House Bill No. 234, restoring the
compulsory deposit of public funds
feature of the Bank of North Dakota
act. The bill came in on a divided
report of the committee on banks
and banking, with the minority COM
posed Of Roberts, Erickson, Jodock
and Thatcher for it. Members of the
banking committee which did not
sign this minority report were Mrs.
Craig, Vogel, Plath, Rasmussen,
Dougherty, Root, Carr.
Rep. Roberts of Dunn county made
lengthy speech in favor of public
banking, addressing himself particu-
larly to that portion of the bill per-
mitting establishment of branch
banks of the Bank of North Dakota
in counties on petition of SO percent
or more of the people of county.
Rep. Twichell, objecting, said that
Roberts proposal meant that losses
by bankil(y in the public banks would
have to be made up by taxation.
Rep. Miller of Mcintosh objected
to the compulsory deposit feature,
declaring that private banks are
paying school districts and other
subdivisions more interest on their
deposits than the Bank of North Da-
kota paid.
Rep. Vogel of Mclean county said
he was sent down to the legislature
on a platform supporting such bill
