II Mrs. Greenway is as solid with
her constituents as she is with her
colleagues in Congress she has
nothing TO fear from the election. and
that may be why she was not in q
big hurry TO dash home and get into
the campaign as most of the others
were.
According to reports which are
coming into Washington. the work
OF appraising farm properties. which
was going on under the Farm Credit
Administration, has almost ceased be-
cause OF the passage Of the Frazier
Lemke bill by Congress and its APP
0roval by the President. Under the
Farm Credit Administration. farms
were being appraised for the pur-
pose of getting loans and scaling down
Indebtedness where possible The
Frazier Lemke bill eases the debt
situation for the farmers still more
by allowing them six years within
which TO redeem property. This
looks pretty good to the farmers and.
according to the reports. they are

A big test case to determine the

Deaths Reported.
From the Southwest, where CEN
tury or better degree readings have
been common more than a week,
came reports that at least a half
dozen lives had been lost in the past
few days. In Nebraska nine have
died from the heat within the last
week. Two died in New York City,
two more in the sunbaked South,
and three fatalities were reported in
Minnesota.

In Chicago it was s6. without a re-
lieving Lake breeze. and with an
excess humidity which intensified
suffering.
Forest fires assumed a menacing
status in Massachusetts and other
New England communities. where no
prospect Of rain was offered, except
for light showers in Maine. Water
supplies, already depleted by an I'M
precedented lack of moisture through
out the Middle West, became an
acute problem.
Drought In Kansas.
Many rivers and creeks in South
Central Kansas have dried up-at
least stopped running.
The Arkansas Rivers. big and lit
tie, are little more than trickles in
their wind-blown, sun-parched beds.
As a result of the drought the jack
rabbit has become a major plague
in Western Kansas. All along the
Arkansas Valley and other bottom
lands farmers are combating the
ravages Of the huge hare to save
their crops.
The jackrabbit's forage has with
cred and died. and he has descended
upon corn and sugar beet fields for
food.

Congress Member Lingers.
One of the members OF Congress
to linger long in Washington after
the close of the session was Mrs.
Isabella Greenway, lone Representa-
tive from Arizona and widow OF
Gen. John C. Greenway. And
there is no thought OF mtnimiz-
ing in that word lone" for, in
it's one member of the House, Arr
IONA has more effective representa-
ton than many States entitled TO a
dozen members. Although serving
her first term, Mrs. Greenway has
already acquired influence and rep
utation for getting things across that
usually do not come till after many
years OF service. and often not then.
1t is not only her good looks that
win people to Mrs. Greenway. Her
tumbled shock OF hair. resembling a
hay-cock whipped by the wind. would
attract attention to her anywhere. 1t
is her perfect poise, unaffected manner
and quiet charm which at once put
those around her at ease and make
the Congressman generally want to
tell her everything they know,
They 90 to her Nth their
troubles, they confde to her their
secrets and, above all, they tell her
about themselves and hotD tDonder-
tul they are. She listens sym
pdtheticdlly and apprecidtiuely and
they think she is marvellous. They
trould 90 the limit for her and,
mhen they are unable TO get some
thing done, they appeal TO her and
she reciprocdtes by going to the
bat for them.
Mrs. Greenway's influence has ex-
tended itself even to the Senate and,
when she has wandered over there to
watch proceedings, she has always
been eagerly sought out by members
of that body On some Of these &C.
casions, she has not neglected to do
some discreet lobbying for measures
in which she was interested. Toward
the close of the session, some of her
colleagues in the House came to her in
despair about a bill carrying an ap-
preparation which seemed to have not
a ghost of a chance to get through.
They begged her to help them. She
obliged and. going straight to Speaker
Rainey, gained his consent to let the
bill get past the barrier,

An interesting thing disclosed by an
analysis of the figures is that the

larger than in the days of prohibition.

average capacity a year ago was 1877
gallons.
The revenue officers also seized dur

Graham. Reno, New, gambling hall
operator. admitted on the witness
stand today that ne and his partner
James C. Mckay. received dividends
from the activities OF inmates of
Reno's notorious stockade district.
Mckay and Graham are on trial
charged with misuse of the mails in a
scheme TO defraud. The Government
failed in cross -examination of Mckay
Yesterday TO bring out the character
of the business operated by the Acme
Re atty Corp. OF Reno, in which Nc
Kay admitted owning stock.

bility OF the witness.

tiles Co. which later changed its
name to Acme Coz"
Yes"

John Tasfe. counsel for Graham,

ton to the issues involved"

pleaded, the character OF the busi-
ness this man Is engaged in. and this
Is offered as a test of his credibility."
The objection was overruled.
The business of women and dance
halls" he said.
Owners of the stockade?"
"Yes."
Taafe demanded the jury be in
structed to disregard the matter.
Judge Hincks told the jury they
were to regard the testimony only in
the light offered by the prosecutor,
that is. for test of credibility.
Graham agreed that Moore was

counted out the money for the checks.

How much did he lose?"
Extent Of Loss Uncertain.
IT don't know how much he had in
his pocket. He bought chips to start
out with and saw the draft he lost
in the receipts later. figured he got
it from Jackie Smith"
You say you are sure you did not
know Moore's real name; as a matter
of fact, didn't you introduce him to
Jack Dempsey one time?"
No Graham said. scornfully.
st never introduced him to Dempsey
at no time" He said he always saw
Moore when the latter was gambling
in the club because he was a high
player and he attracted attention"
by the way" Pfann asked, what
business did you have with Jackie
Smith,"
Il never had no business with Jackie
Smith," he said
Smith is dead
Both Mckay and Graham have de-
MED on the stand any connection
with the million-dollar swindling ring
involved in the trial. They were &C
cused Of receiving IS per cent Of the
proceeds of confidence men to fur
nish them no-question banking serv-
ice and police protection.
The REORGANIZATION of Graham
ended with his description of the
character of the bushes on the Acme
company. He did not say how much
Of the stock he held.
The Governments move to bring
in the evidence pertaining to the
stockade checkmated the defense on
one of its chief points of attack on
the testimony of Noble Jack Moore,
confessed Swindler, who was a star
witness for the prosecution.

Uncle Sam is determined to exact
his proper share of liquor revenues

constantly on the watch for untaxed
liquor of any sort, and they are max

months of their enforcement of the
new liquor laws.
A tabulation of seizures and arrests
during June, just made public, shows
that 1857 stills were seized and 1908
persons arrested throughout the coun-
try. These figures compare favorably
with those of June, 1888, when l,486
stills were seized and 1892 persons
arrested-considering the fact that
the present enforcement strength is
but 1,2s8, as compared to 1882 a year

pressed with the fact that they in
tend to grant and administer loans
and consider applications as fairly
and squarely and literally as possible
under the provisions OF the act and
there are a number OF properties in
Montana that should be able to OBJ
tain loans from the r. F. C.
Those properties which cannot
meet the requirements of obtaining
a loan are still helped psychologist
ally.
In the first place the government
for the first time since have been
in business, Is willing to stand
squarely behind the metal mining
industry. The public is now well
aware of this and should be more
willing to put up funds TO develop
meritorious mining prospects and
semi-deyeloped mines.
In the second place, In raising
money from the public to develop
a mine, II should be a great deal
easier when It is known that IL
the mine is developed to such a
point. 1t can obtain its final funds
thru a loan from the r. r. G. To
illustrate this: take the small pros
pect that needs say $25.000 to
see whether 1t is a mine or not.
If with the expenditure of this
$25, 900 1t is proved to be a mine,
It can borrow money from the r.
F. C. to build its mill. refineries,

have to call on its stockholders
