Protests Voiced Upon Allotment Features of Bill Grain Dealers' Head Declares That Measure a Costly Try; Good Is Doubtful. Washington, Jan. 27. From grain dealers and cotton spinners, the sen ate agriculture committee today heard outspoken objections to the domestic allotment farm relief bill. In a telegram from Thomas R. Cain, Bloomington, 111., president of the Farmers' National Grain Dealers ' association, the bill was assailed as ; "a huge costly experiment, a price ; fixing, tax increasing measure doubt ful in accomplishment and requiring ! huge administrative machinery." "It places Washington officialdom I in direct control of every farm in ! the country," said the wire placed in the record by Chairman McNary (rep.. Ore.). "The farmers lose con trol of their own affairs under such a plan. Says Revolution Brewing. "A country revolution is brewing, not against government, but against false farm leadership trying to hang upon us an allotment plan or other unsound legislative experiments." Testifying before the committee, witnesses representing the American and National Cotton Manufacturers' association were empathetic in as serting the bill would prove a deadly (boomerang to the cotton fanner, re duce cotton consumption by raising nrir-pt! and aild to unemnlovment bv ' forcing the closing of many textile. plants. William D. Andeson of Macon, Ga., one of the witnesses, was ques tioned sharply by Senator FTazier (rep., N. D.), when he said the farm er, "relatively speaking is not in a much worse fix than his neighbor in the city." Hearings Continue. Anderson said he was a farmer; himself, remarking he was "sorry to; sjv so." and that he had a great deal . ... . , . . . . . of sympathy with the plight of the agriculturist. FTazier asserted, how - ever, that Andeson was talking more j from "the standpoint of the cotton! manufacturer than the farmer." Prospects tonight were that hear ings on the bill would continue thru out next week. Meat packers are preparing to volc9 vigorous opposi tion to the measure. As passed by the house it provides for a tax on the packer or other processor, the money to go to the farmer in an amount sufficient to bring his price to the pre-war level on condition he cuts production 20 per cent. Members of the house busied them selves ' meanwhile with bankruptcy and farm foreclosure matters. A definite decision to force a vote there Monday on the bankruptcy bill under a suspension of the rules de signed to facilitate cTmsideration. The farmer under this bill could ap ply to a federal court for a scaling down of his debts. FARMER PROTESTS MOUNT Des Moines. Massed protest against farm mortgage foreclosures spread beyond sectional limits, echo ing from Idaho to Ohio. At Nampa, Ida., the United Farmers' league threaten to get out "a six shooter and four red blooded men," to force the legislature to enact mortgage re lief laws. Wood county, Ohio, farmers as sembled to block a foreclosure and did so by removing a finance com pany bidder from the vicinity of the auction platform. Governor Berry of South Dakota urged mortgage hold ers to refrain from foreclosure "whenever possible." At LeMars, la., Plymouth county farmers, "pioneers" in the forcible prevention of foreclosure sales, stop ped a foreclosure of the home of Dr. D. W. Cunningham, to whom many of them said they owed dental bills. Directors of the national farmers holiday association, meeting at Dee Moines, placed its influence behind "all organized efforts, local, county or state, whether in the name oi the association or not, to protect farm property from foreclosure and to ob tain cost of production for farm products. Wisconsin authorities brought charges of rioting against eleven farmers as the result of a forced sale at Jefferson, where cattle and farm equipment was auctioned off at top bids of several cents and then return ed to the original owner. Governor Herring assured a group of Wapello county farmers of his support in de laying farm mortgage sales. See the goods you tuy. Qlowlng catalog descriptions are often misleading.

Karshner became a renter on the farm last March but has paid little rental, Patrick asserted. The attor ney declared he had learned that Karshner had disposed of some of his stock and that he had then started replevin action on the remainder.

A bargain for aura, at - 07C Endres and Condit Foes at Convention Present State Sheriff Demands Re organization of State Sher iffs' Association. Omaha. The annual convention of the Nebraska State Sheriffs' asso ciation opened here Wednesday with vigorous argument centering around a proposal that the association be "reorganized." State Sheriff Endres, saying he was spokesman for a group of dis satisfied members, made the motion for reorganizing. He charged the as sociation was now a "one-man or ganization." Endres then added to the opinion that former State Sheriff Condit, who content to do a11 his own work- He for the past ten years has been asso- takes Pride in his cooking, and eats ciation president, was not even ajfour time6 a day- mmmisRionPrt officer "Where did you get your commis sion?" Endres asked Condit. "From you," Condit replied. "Show it to me," Endres answer ed and then, without waiting for a reply, he went on to urge reorganiz- jation so "they could present a firm and solid front in their demands for favorable legislation." He declared that Douglas county alone had made an effort to prevent passage of H. R. 14, a bill that would reduce the mileage allowance of sher iffs from 10 to 5 cents a mile. In reply Condit told of his own frequent appearances before legisla tive committees and o" a promise from the senate committee that it would take no action until after the convention here. Charles Anderson, Lincoln con stable, moved that the chair appoint a committee to consider what action the association had best take in re gard to the bill and after much fur ther discussion the motion was pass ed. Condit named Sheriffs Kavanaugh, Columbus; Schultz, Sidney; Salis bury, North Platte; Steinacher, Geneva, and Hudson, Frontier, as the committee. State Journal. NEBLE RAPS AT SORENSEN Omaha. Former Attorney Gen eral Sore n sen was described as a "muddier" in Omaha affairs Wednes day by Municipal Judge Neble, sit ting on the police court bench. "He has told some Judges here what to do, but he's not going to mollycoddle any cases for me," the Judge sad after J. Thull, private col lector appearing in court against two brothers charged with defrauding an inn keeper, had produced a letter from Sorensen outlining the law. Judge Neble dismissed the case after Wayne and Martin Gaither said that after they moved they called the landlady who preferred the charges, promising to pay but ex plaining that they were out of work and had no money at the time. Rerring to the letter produced from Sorensen, Judge Neble said "he has handed down opinions regarding investigators who can run around Omaha and go into private houses without search warrants but that is illegal." SEE ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD Falls City, Neb. District Judge Raper ruled here Wednesday that cir cumstances surrounding the convey ance of a chattel mortgage by Grover Saville, a Salem farmer to a relative, S. W. Carlisle, indicated an attempt had been made to defraud creditors. The court held that a levy of the Bank of Salem on personal prop erty constituted a prior lien to the mortgage. It was the first time in re cent years that a chattel has been at tacked here on the grounds of fraud, attorneys said. The bank had secured a Judgment against Saville for $57 6 on a note. Sheriff Davies then levied on the property to satisfy the mortgage but Carlisle temporarily stopped the sale by displaying the recorded mortgage. Judge Raper made the ruling during a hearing on Carlisle's request to permanently enjoin the sale and up on a petition of intervention by the bank. Representative Rainey of Illinois says he doesn t believe anybody knows anything about the gold standard any more, or what it means. Mr. Rainey is inviting trouble, talk ing like that. There are between 60 and 80 million people in America who know all about the gold stand ard, and have written letters to newspapers and magazines admit ting as much; and no doubt several thousand of them live right in Mr. Rainey 's district.

Linahan, Omaha's oldest native son is celebrating his 77th birthday today at his home in that city. Mr. Linahan has a great deal of interest in Plattsmouth as he with the late James E. Riley, built the Hotel Riley in this city back in the early nineties. The aged man, who has been ac tive in the business affairs of Omaha and eastern Nebraska, was interview ed by the World-Herald which is as follows: "Birthdaj-s and taxes one's Just as bad as the other." he observed. "There they are, Flaring you in the face. You can't get away from them." Linahan was born in a log cabin on the southeast corner of what is now Twelfth and Jones streets. A widower, he lives alone in an upstairs room at 4320 Fort street, e uniana ureiup iruui a town of about three hundred. He has expectations of seeing it grow to a half million. "Wait until they strike natural gas and oil near Omaha it's coming sure," he predicted. "Then watch Omaha grow. Why, I may live to see Omaha extending west as far aB Waterloo, and south as far as Platts mouth. Factories will come in by the hundreds. Big business will come. With our excellent railroads and our rivers . . . everything is in our fa vor." The depression has hit Linahan pretty hard, he said. He lived through the hard times of '73 and '93, losing about 50 thousand dollars in the latter, he estimated. Linahan owns five houses. Three are vacant. The tenants in the oth ers have not been able to pay their rent for several months. But he per mits them to stay, expecting some day they will be on their feet again. "Just say that I'm feeling fine, and expect to live for years to come," Linahan said. "I'm 77 years young, and have a clear conscience."
