K ' Baltimore, Feb. 8.—Digging a tun nel 150 feet long ami three feet wide from a cellar of a house to the ware house of the Stewart Distilling com pany's plant In Highlandtown, a sub urb, a band of liquor thieves, with the aid of a rubber hose and a suc tion pump, siphoned more than 100 barrels of whisky. The robbery was disroVered yesterday when police, acting on a tip from an unknowu source, forced an entrance into the dwelling on South sp-eet. The liquor was valued at upwards of $245,000. The house, according to police, is owned by Christian V'ansoo, but as yet no information has been obtain ed as to where he can be found. The digging of the tunnel, accord ing to police, must have occupied at least a month. The robbers had cut a hole about 10 inches in diameter through a thick stone foundation to gain entrance to the warehouse, and or,lrf a small man could have gained admittance to tap the barrels, police said. Information has been obtained by the police that a quantity of Stewart whisky, the brand that was stolen fi^Mptlte warehouse, was offered for |t^Te last Saturday. Victim of Rum Pirates. New York, Feb. S. — The British schooner Marion Mosher, alleged rum runner, whose seizure by American "dry” forces led to international com plications, bobbed up again yesterday p i the news—this tini" as a victim of i um pirates. • The office of the collector of the port received word from, Henry 8.

The explanation given by the master, the consul said, was that pirates had rob bed his craft on the high seas. i Seizure of the Mosher outside the r three-mile limit last winter led to vig orous protests from the British gov ernment. On December 111, it was turned loose. Two Named for Posts in Omaha Trust Firm I J. F. McCloud and E. R. F^haberg have been elected assistant secretaries of the Omaha Trust company.

Washington, Feb. 8. — (Special.)— Growth of the number and business of the Joint stock land banks of the country, run for private profit In com petition with the federal farm land l ank system, is made the occasion for recommendation for new legislation governing these concerns in a rejiort made to the house by the farm land bank board. The hoard suggests possible legis lation which would merge these pri vate farm land banks with the federal system and urges, also, that exiienee of supervising them be charged to the private concerns. "During the year 1922," the report says, "charters were issued to 40 joint stock land banks increasing the num ber from 23 to 83 in a. single year. Twenty-three of these banks in opera tion during the year 1921 closed dur ing that year 881 loans aggregating 29,334.900. During the same period the 12 federal land banks closed 27, 153 loans aggregating $31,029,987. During 1922 the joint stock land banks closed 13,918 loans aggregating $138, 884.779 while the federal land banks closed 74,055 loans, totaling $224,301, 400. At this rate the federal farm land banks will soon be doing the small end of the business.” A summary of the report of the federal farm land bank board says the 12 land banks have sold to the public during the year ail the farm loan bonds they desired to offer: have re duced the rate of interest to borrowers '•'i of 1 per cent and met all the'calla upon them where the applications were satisfactory, having closed 74, ADVKBTIftEWEVr* Great For Bad Coughs and Colds Make Your Own Medicine and Have the Best There Is.

P i Army "tin hat” designers are work ing on new effects in iron millinery for future war seasons. The trend Is toward the (>erman coalscuttle mode. Snappy inverted soup bowl model, highly popular in A. K. F. front line circles in France, during the season of 1917-18, have be*n ruled out of fashion. It is already clear that in the fu ture anti-barrage headgear will have to assume the general lines of grandma's sunbonnet. the most favor'd model now un der consideration is not quite so coal-scuttle-like as was the German fashion and it weighs a lot less. But it has a sweeping curve of graceful!}-draped steel plate around the hack to protect the neck and It is planned to carry this forward on each side down almost to the jaw bane line. Add In that a straight brim of severe lines, but with a double scollop • ut out over the eyes, to permit a soldier crawling under fire to see his way from sliell hole to sliell hole without exposing much of his face and you have a general idea of the forthcoming style.
