^lieeler Replies to G. 0. P. Attack i)angherty Probe ‘Prosecutor' Says Stories Repudiated by 20,000 Election Majority. Washington, March SO.—Senator W heeler, democrat, Montana, "prose cutor In the Daugherty Investigation, i cplied today to charges made against him by the republican national com mittee news bureau by saying the people of Montana "repudiated these stories and the authors of them by a majority of more than 20,000 at the last election."' The statement of the Montana sen ator was brought out by a detailed i t tack issued on him last week by tl news bureau under the caption of • What everybody should know about He nator Wheeler and his Montana Kang ” The attack was to the ef fect l hat while Senator Wheeler was I'nited States attorney for Montana, ' the state became the hotbed of trea s in and sedition, the leaders in the tieasonable anl seditious movement being friends of Wheeler’s and that he refused to interfere.” “Kverybody knows.” said Senator Wheeler's statement, “what the story was put out for, and everybody in Montana knows that the charges are absolutely false.” Persons convicted under his regime as district attorney, “including two ex-attorneys general of the state charged with tampering with a jury" and their friends,” the statement con tinued, sought to accuse him "when the war hysteria was at Its height, with a neglect of duty.” Neck muscles stiff and sore?

Captor of Millicent Rogers Tired j of One Bride; Married for Money Marriage to Heiress of Oil Millions Not First in Count Salm's Search for k Support. 1 By International New* Rfrvlff Berlin, March 30. — Count Ludwig Salm von Hoogstraeten's sensational "capture” of Milllcent Rogers of New York, 18-year-old heiress to |40,000,000, was neither his first venture in for tune hunting nor his first marriage. Friends of the count revealed an interesting story of his career to night. Sixteen years ago, "Ludy," as his intimates call him, then a dashing tennis star of 23 and a lientenant in a crack cavalry regiment, emerged victor in a keen competitive search for an helresA His rivals were other young aristocrats, anxious to restore their own shattered fortunes. WINS HAND AND MANY GOLD MARKS. '‘Ludy" won the hand of Fraulein von Kramsta, plus 2,000,000 gold marks—nearly half a million dollars— a big fortune in those days. Rut mar ried life for the young woman proved a vale of tears, for immediately after the nuptials "Ludv's" ardor cooled and finally her tragedy of unrequited love climaxed in a sensational scene in a Munich hotel room. In those days the count found him self utterly "broke" and besieged by a horde of creditors whom the care worn parents of the dashing young blood were unable to pay. Rich princes and counts bearing the name of Salm viewed "Ludy” as a ‘ black sheep,’' deaf to all pleas to settle down. DEBTS FORCE HIM TO QUIT ARMY. Creditors reported “Ludy's" debts to the commander of his regiment and he was obliged to quit the army. Obviously the last- straw to a man of his class and position was a rich heiress. But old aristocrats, being sticklers for 100 per cent blue blood, objected to “Ludy.’‘ His reputation also was such as not to move old nobles to encourage his suit nor to give him the hand of one of their daughters, plus a big fortune. Finally Count Salm found an ‘’an gel" in an uncle—Baron Erlanger— living on an estate on the Rhine. He Invited the count to come and try to And a “gold fish" In that region. The uncle's estate was situated near the 1 Count i&itt'y VOn famous summer resor Isbaden, the rendezvous of fai ble, inter national society and vorite place for tennis tournamen' HINT FRUITLESS; TURNS TO AMERICA. There wen* the young count, equipped with pocket money ad vanced by th£ baron and letters of recommendation from the aunt to tho scion of a patrician Frankfort family. \Vei8baden swarmed with heiresses. All liked Count Salm, for he was a handsome, dashing young man, but his reputation and his obvious inten tions made the family heads cautious. Count Salm required an heiress who not only could pay his stagger ing debts, but enable him to continue a life of ease and comfort. His ef forts were in vain and he had to turn elsewhere.

Faithful Servants "Neither rain nor shine nor heat of day nor gloom oi night shall stay these cou riers from their duly appointed rounds This inscription from the freise of the general postoffice in New York emphatically tells the story of the mailman. In all kinds of weather, under all conditions, these men, their sacks strapped to their backs, make their daily rounds. They are servants of the people in the truest sense of the word. Upon their labors depend, in a gTeat measure, the orderly progress of the nation’s life. Kin to the mailman as a servant— absolutely necessary — is electrio energy. Regardless of conditions, time, or weather, both faithfully serve. Because of their fidelity and loyalty, they are both taken as a matter of course—like the setting and the ris ing of the sun. Omahans are well aware of the effi cient service of both of these great factors in the city’s life. All Hail to the Mailman! All Hail to Electricity! Where would you be without them? “Omaha is a Great Place in Which to Live!" Nebraska ® Power <S. Readjustment Is Nearly Complete, Savs Bank Board J Economic Balance Between Industries Almost Restored, Report of Federal Reserve Declares. Washington, March 3<V—"Taking the year as a w hole, thera 1* abun uant evidence that, so far as the United States la concerned, economic readjustment has been proceeding at % rapid rate and is now nearing com pletion, ' declares the federal reserve board in its annual report, made pub ^ today. B"’l'he economic balance ns between rnidustrles and sections of the country "is not yet fully restored, but during tho last two years there has been rapid progress in the direction of a more stable equilibrium, and of a better alignment of prices between different commodity groups." The United States has taken on a new responsibility In its relation to world economic affairs, ip the opinion of the board, which indicates a lief that increasingly- greater infi nco on forld economic progress will < ;na rate from these sources. Responsibility for U. S. The great influx of gold Into "the United States which now has four tenths of the world monetary stock, the growing use of the American dollar with its gold standard as a trade basis, gradual expansion of American foreign trade, the adop t'on by many foreign Interests of American trade and commercial poli cies—are cited by the board as show ing the responsibility that must be borne and accounted for by the lead ers In the United States. Since the federal reserve system Is accepted as charting the business course at home, Its correspondingly Increased power and responsibility In the larger field Is examined by the board in Its report and it has set Itself to the task of explaining the peace time functions of the system. It In dicates a belief that the general con ception of how the system can give full force and effect to Its chartered powers of aiding commerce and In dustry Is too limited and makes a definite move toward a policy of pro mulgating such information here after. "The year covered in this report,” the board says, "is of more than or dinary Interest, since It has afforded an opportunity for the federal re serve system to function under cir cumstances less Influenced by condi tions arising out of the sjar than any previous year. In the absence of those major disturbances which so profoundly affected business and credit conditions during the war and early post war readjustments, federal reserve rredit policies, In response to prevailing economic conditions and cn the basis of earlier experience, havs unde-gone a fuller development. Program for 1924. "The volume, character and oc easlon of rediscount operations and oren market transactions of the fed eral reserve hanks, the extent and influence of gold movements upon the credit and currency situation, rate policy and the basic factors underly ing general credit policy—these amd other related matters that will be of continuous Importance In the future have held an Important place in 1923 In the functioning of the federal re serve banks and In the deliberations ind decisions of Its governing au thorities." Turning to the question of gold movements, the hoard said great con cern is manifest because of their probable future extent and direction It says that no future Inflow, such is that that has taken place, can he expected because of the restrictive Pleasures taken by the European powers, which afe designed directly o control gold exports from their territorial Jurisdictions. Then, too. the board asserts that n international trade gold haa main alncd Its conventional position throughout the decade of currency llsorganlzatlon and with the growing lecessity for a common basis for cal minting commodity prices there has icen a marked tendency to equalize values on the basis of the American lo'lar because of the gold that backs it. "Thus,” the report sdds, "the Amer can dollar has become the link bo weon countries on a paper currency basis and the gold standard. "in this adjustment the American dollar, not only because of its con vertibility into gold, but because of Its stability and because of the trade position of the 1’nlted States, has he ••ime increasingly the unit of account n international trade."
