FARM LOAN BILL
PASSES TODAY
By international News Service

BY International News Service
Forseeing little opposition, Ad
ministration leaders of the House
planned passage today of the
Jones bill, guaranteeing 1000 mil,
lion dollars of Farm Loa n
mortgage bonds.
With most of the Republicans
on the Agriculture committee sup
porting the measure, the chief op-
position appeared from group de-
manding passage of the Fraser
bill calling for refinancing of
$500 million dollars of farm
mortgages with paper money.
Three committee memberS-Boi-
leau (R.) of Wisconsin, Gilchrist
(R) of Iowa. and Pierce CD of
Oregon :oined in the demand
for issuance of greenbacks instead
of bonds.
A frank admission that the
original issue of Farm Loan
bonds, for which interest but not
principal was guaranteed. could
not be sold except at heavy dis
counG was made by the Agricul-
ture Committee.
Under the bill. the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation is to be
established to- make loans. The
Government would subscribe to
200 millions capital stock, and
1000 millions in bonds could be
issued
A total Of 900 millions is pro
vided for the making of direct
farm loans under the Emergency
Loan act passed last session.
Forty millions is transferred from
the seed ,loan fund for the estab
lishment of IL production credit

Alice Brady Guarded
In Downtown Los

LOS ANGELES, April 8 QN.S)
Officers today we're investigating
reported telephoned threats to kid
nap Alice Brady, screen and stage
actress.
Would-be kidnapers we're believed
motivated by the announcement
that the producer of a new play
starring Miss Brady had taken out
q $25, 900 insurance policy for he1
appearance at a theater here
The producer said that a man
had telephoned him yesterday
saying:
"What would it be worth to
you to have Alice Brady at the
theater tOnight?"
The producer replied:
what do you mean? Who
are yOu?"
After a short pause, the mys.
teriously muffled voice said:
That's all 1 mean. I'll tell
you the details later"
Sheriff's deputies accompanied

HUSBAND CALLS
MRS. EVERETT
EMBEzzLER

NEW YORK. April s.-Mrs,
Evelyn Clay Everett, daughter of
The late United States Senator
Alexander Stephen Clay of Georgia,
Is branded as an embezzler in her
husbands counter-suit for separa
tion, on file in the Supreme Court
at White Plains.
Roberts Everett, Union League
Club member, wealthy publisher
and advertising executive, named
the fashionable Dixie Club of New
: York, the Roger Schuyler Chapter
Of the United Daughters Of the
Confederacy, and the Society Of
Georgia Women in New York as
his wife's victims. Mr.. Everett
charged:
"She splurged the money on
wild night club parties, and
had to make it up"
Mr.. Everett also accused his wife
Of forging the Endorsement Of a
check he made out for q grocery
man and of diverting household
expense money for her own amuse-
mentS. He charged:
"A laxity Of moral standards
on her part made her life one
unending round Of trickery, sub
terfuge and deceit"
Mrs. Everett, in her answering
bill, denied her husbands charges
that she threw wild parties at
night clubs and at their home
while he was away on business.
She win make fuller defense,
her lawyer averred, when she
appears in court.
Mrs. Everett brought the first
action against her husband in New
York city, but it was transferred
to White Plains. In asking a separa-
tion, she charged that on their
wedding day, as they left her
fathers palatial Georgia mansion,
her husband asked her:
"HOw much money have You,
dearie, and how much can you
get from your fOlkS?"

'2-JOB' RULING

Shifting about of funds in such
fashion that a Government EN-.
ploye also holding a position at
Howard University would be paid
entirely from the private funds of
that institution is not permissible
according to q ruling today by
Comptroller General McCarl.
The case is that of an employe
in the Government Printing Of
flee, at $1,377.20 a year base pay.
who was appointed there tempo
rarily in December. Later the
treasurer of Howard University in,
formed the Government Printing
Office that the same man hao
been given a job there at $50 a
month, about two-thirds of which
was paid from private funds and
the rest from Government funds
The question arose as to
whether the portion of his Howard
University salary paid from Gov
ern1nent funds might be discon
tinued, so that the total salary of
the two jobs would not exceed the
rate Of $4,000 a year, which is the
two-job statutory limit.
The ruling is that the man has
two jobs, that the compensation
in both cases is or could legally be
charged to appropriated money
and that since the total exceeds
$4,000 a year no payment under
the Printing Office appropriation
is authorized while he has a job at
Howard.

THE year 1893 was probably the

Council in announcing its honor roll
Of States that had no lynchings dur
ing the year.
Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky. Ohio

Until last year there were strong
indications of trend downward" said

secretary Of the department of race

under sway Of lynch law and the in
crease In the number of victims indi-
cate that the mob spirit is again on a
rising tide.
For the first time in the history of
the evil a Governor Of a sovereign
State publicly expressed his approval
o. the lynchers and his acquiescence
IN their crime before the fact. The
sudden breakdown Of the prosecution
Of the lynchers by the State authori-
