O LOAN BANK BILL
~(POLITICAL ADV.)

When President Hoover signed the Home Loan
Bank Bill, he put forth an effort to save the small home
owners from losing their life's savings, but like many
chief executive of this great government, he has only
put the water in the trough.
Last week the Omaha Guide extended to its read
es the opportunity of registering at the Guide Office
for a loan to pay off past mortgages and taxes on their
homes. Not one,-yes, just one man has registered up to
this time. What is it? The same old story! Are we
truly like the bunch of mules, just got to have a little white
horse lead us to the slaughter pen? Every Negro and
white man who lives in this so-caled prescribed district
knows that he cannot get one dime loan from any finan-
cial institution in our city. Remember there is just a
specific amount set aside in the Home Loan Bank Bill for
the protection Of home owners property. Are you going
to sit idly by and see the amount set aside for this pur-
pose by the Home Loan Bill exhausted, and then holler
the Omaha Guide Publishing Company to help you save
your home. 1t is to your interest to register today for
your application blank. We know from given authority
Of what we speak. Today is the proper time to act!

An apparently more general trade de-
mand from abroad and a more active
demand promoted by the
strength of Tuesdays stock market
were reflected by an opening advance
of 3 to points and increased activity
in the cotton market today.
Houses with Liverpool, continental
and Far Eastern connections were said
to be among the buyers on the adj
vance, which sent the active month,
about 6 to points net higher befort

bale above the low prices touched JUS

Probably disposition to take profits
on long cotton was promoted by an
idea that sharp advances in the marktt
at present might influence acreage il
tentions in the South, and might aBo
encounter freezer spot offerings. Liver
pool cables reported trade calling, cov-

NEW YORK, February 17.-After
hesitating in the early trading when
stocks reacted momentarily, the bond
market resumed its advance today and
Roadway was made in nearly every
group Trading was active.
The market started off at higher
level, but bidding dried up almost i'm
mediately. The Street was engaged in
scrutinizing indices of business eagerly
for signs of activity that might serve as
a reason-apart from the psychological
effects of the Governments credit ex-
pansion program-for the sharp rise OF
the last few days. Some public utility
earnings reports showed better earnings
for 1881 than $780, notably these of
Public Service of New Jersey and De-
troit Edison.
Liberty and Treasury bonds added "a
to l., point to the gains made Tuesday
and all active long-term Government
bonds were selling on 395 to 4.lO Per
cent yield basis, against around 4.50 per
cent at the January low.
The issuance today of s25,00O,0 600
Brooklyn Edison SIS on a 5.23 per cent
yield basis served to indicate that the
new capital market is again receptive
to the better grade investments.
Small gains were recorded by Amer

Electric 5s. Consolidated Gas 81 l2s, New
York Telephone 4l2s, Detroit Edison IS

NEW YORK, February 17.-Opening

Negro, Alleged Member OF st.
Mary's Black Shirt Gang,
Held Ringleader

Sheriff Albert G.. Buckworth
and his deputies foiled a we'll
planned jail delivery at Elkton.
Monday night.
Blaine Swan, Negro, an al
legged member of the Black
Shirt gang of st. Mary's coun-

was arrested last week after
he and his cousin, Preston
Swan, another alleged member
of the Black Shirt gang, had
figured in a hold-up at Porters
Bridge, west of Rising Sun.
Preston is still at large.
The attempted Jail delivery
was discovered shortly after 6
o'clock Monday night by Sher-
iff Buckworth, who was MAX
ing his usual inspection before
locking the prisoners in their
cells for the night.
When the officer walked into
Swans cell, located on the Sec
ond tier of the prison, he no
ticed that a large hole had been
dug in the three-foot stone
wall. The prisoner was mis-
sing. Calling his deputies, the
Sheriff hurried to the Jail yard.
which is surrounded by a
thirty-foot stone wall. Swan
was found there with a rope
made from electric light wire.
On the end of the rope was a
hook, which, the officers say,
he intended to throw over the
wall and climb to the top. Sew
eral other prisoners are said to
have been involved in the plot.
When the officers detected
Swan, he fought them and had
to be subdued.
When they put him in the
Jail proper he again put up a
fight and was again subdued.
Sheriff Buckworth said that
Swan had broken his iron bed
stead and used a portion of it
to dig his way through the
stone wall.
Swan was arrested in Rising
Sun on Saturday night, Octob-
er %, by State Motor Officers
A. F. Anderson and G. e. Min
nick, following a gunfight be-
tween the officers and the two
negros, Preston Swan, the
other bandit, making his es-.
cape.

Western Md. County Commits
siOners Urge Joint
Meeting

Invitation was extended FRI
day by the commissioners Of
eight Western Maryland coun-
ties to the Eastern Shore Com
missioners' Association TO
meet in Annapolis the third
week in November for discus
sion of county tax relief from
the State.
The invitation followed a
lively session, at which were
representatives Of the commits.
sioners Of Montgomery, Car
roll, Washington, Anne A1un-
del, st. Mary's, Howard, Gar
rett and Frederick counties.
Clinton McSherry, attorney for
the host board, presided.
The meeting in Annapolis
will be for the purpose Of pros
posing measures for the Gem
eral Assembly in January, so
State laws can be changed to-
aid the counties to caring for
their roads and relieving the
burden Of taxes, especially on
the farmers.
After a two-hour discussion
the commissioners at Fridays

lions, to which there was a
small opposition. The reso-
lutions were similar to two of
the five adopted by the Eastern
Shore Commissioners Associa-
ton at a meeting in Cambridge
October II.
They requested changes in
the gasoline tax and motor We
hicle license fund so that rev.
enues derived by the State
from these sources may be ap-
piled to county roads under
the supervision of the county
commissioners, and legisla-
ton so that no county will be
required to levy more than
$100 in order to share in the
equalization fund.
