BANK DEPOSITS
GAIN FOURTEEN
UILLION.IN YEAR
XToiperity Shown by Remarkable
Increase of $13,822,071 Over
the Same Time Last
Year.
SIXTY-FIVE MILLION DEPOSITS
Increase in Loans Also Shows
a
Much Greater Business Activ-
ity Here.
LARGER GAINS ARE EXPECTED
Territory tributary to Oniana o
hanks la so nrosnerous. according: to
returns just made to the comp
troller's November call, that deposits
In ''local banks are $13,922,071
greater than a year ago and $1,165,
344 greater than two months ago.
Deposits totalled $65,672,767 on No
vember 10, the date of the bank call.
The . tremendous gains in Omaha
bank deposits, the bankers say, Is a
barometer of the prosperity prevail
ing throughout the city, state and
adjacent country, which uses the
Cate city as a banking point.
The Increase in deposits over the last
PlU September 2. la accounttd for by
canker in the partial marketing of grain
within the laat two months nnd the re
sulting deposit of the money the crops
bought. Still greater gains in deposits
are forecasted, when Nebraska's bumper
wheat crop Is all liquidated.
Business has also recover J from the
war shock of a year ago. the Winkers say,
and they point to the great deposit galna
since October 31, 1914, aa proof of the as
sertion. II n are Increase In Loans.
Loans also show great gains in the bank
call figures. Since a year ago loana by
Greater Omaha banks have jumped up
I7.5S3.407, to the present total f 146.709.775.
This is also a gain of $2,G04,J0i over two
months ago.
One explanation of the. Increased loana
Is that city banks are" loaning much
money to country banks, which in turn
loan It out for stock feeding purposes.
The greatest surprise shown among
the banks by the present bank call Is the
remarkable gain In both deposits and
loans made by the United States Na
tional bank, which now ranks second In
deposits and first In loana. Its deposit
gain since two months is approximately
11,500.000. Chairman Milton T. Barlow of
the United States National, snye his
bank s great gain la due largely to In
creased business resulting from the
bank's handsome new building.

The State Bank of Omaha shows 'a

Wilson Will Consult
House Leaders Upon
Raising Defense Fund
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. At today's
cabinet meeting each department head
submitted 1 Is views on what lmportarft
j matters nhould be urged upon congress
at the coming session and there was a
general discussion of what the presi
dent's message should contain. The
president will begin immediately to write
the message, doing the work himself on
his typewriter. Because revenue-raising
legislation must originate In the house,
the ' president will confer further with
house leaders before finally dee ding on
his recommendations as to how the ad
ditional revenue needed for the defense
plans should be raised.
The annual reports of cabinet mem
bers will not be made public until after
me president delivers his message to
congress. Mr. Wilson will take Into con
sideration, however, the recommenda
tion of his official advisers.
Attorney General Gregory after the
cabinet meeting revealed that he la con
sidering recommending amendments to
the Sherman anti-trust law so that the
federal government can better proceed
In alleged plots to blow up munitions
plants and vessels. He said at present
it was difficult to find laws covering the
cases' already Investigated, but that the
various elates had laws which covered
most of the alleged plots and the De
partment of Justice was anxloua to co
operate with atate officials.
Secretary Garrison Informed the presi
dent that he thought It advisable to
make public the recommendations of the
general staff of the army on strengthening-
the, military branch of the govern
ment. It was decided that the 'army

Fay Will Not Make
Further Statement;
He Fears Long Term
NEW YORK. Nov. li-When the case
of the five men indicted here In the
alleged German bomb conspiracy waa
called In the federal district court to
day demurrers were entered in behalf
of two defendants, Robert Fay and Wal
ter 8choli. The demurrers allege that
the Indictment against these men Is In
sufficient and does not state . any of
fense under the laws of the United
States, In that the munitions vessels on
which bombs were to have been placed,
according to the charge, would have been
blown up on the high seas.
Counsel for Robert Klensle, Max
Breltung and Engelbert Bronkhorst, the
others under indictment, did not ender
demurrers, but stood on their pleas of
not guilty.
Fay was taken before Attorney Knox
again today, presumably to continue the
statement be began yesterday. A few
minutes later, however, he waa returned
to the Tomba. It waa then announced
that Fay would not make a confession
or any further statement.
When Fay agreed to make a statement
for the government attorneys and plead
guilty to the Indictment, the prisoner
thought he would escape with a sentence
of one or at most two years. Mr. Knox
Informed Fay, however, that a pi
of
guilty would carry with it a sentence of
twelve years. Mr. Knox said that so
far as the government Is concerned it
will not discuss tha matter further with
Fay.

Mr. Hughes Said to Be in Mood to

Necessary.
WHOLE COUNTRY IS WATCHING
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
VVASHINOTCN, Nov. 16. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Attorney General
Heed, If reports In the eastern press
are true, has made It harder for a
man to refuse to be a candidate for
any old Job than It Is for a "camel
iti.nmrli Iha rva rtf a needle."
. .. . ffmon
According to press announcements,
the attorney general of Nebraska, In
view of the filing of Justice Hughes'
nume for president, has ruled that
there are only two ways In which a
name may be eliminated from the
ballot by resort to a court of equity
or by a request for "Its withdrawal
from the secretary of state's office
signed by those who had originally
signed the endorsement.
Never heard of such a thing," said
Senator Norrls. "Don't believe It's possi
ble for such an Interpretation to be put
upon our primary laws. If a man can
not decllno to be a candidate for a apecl
fled office then the law ought to be
amended."
llnarhea Not Candidate.
Further, the Junior senator from Ne
braska said he had It from unimpeach
able authority "that Juatlee Hughes
would not be a candidate for president
and If nominated would be compelled to
decline to make the race."
The Evening Star prints tha following
with reference to the Hughes situation In
Nebraska: "Mr. Justice Hughes of the
supreme court wilt demand tha with
drawal of tho petition filed by Nebraska
republicans placing hla name on the pri
mary ballot as a candidate for the re
publican nomination for the presidency of
the L'nlted States.
"The action of tha Nebraska republi
cans was taken without hla knowledge,
contravenes his actual position and will
be repudiated.
Will Make PoaHloa Clear.
"No attitude of acquiescence In efforts
to place, him In tha position of being a
receptive candidate for the nomination
will be tolerated, and actions which would
eh :IJlrfe,htl8"Pu1ryIsDA", po'si-
tlon wlll.be disclaimed.
"While ha remained upon the supreme
court bench participating in decisions af
fecting the people at large, it would be
unthinkable to him that he ahould counte
nance such a courae as that of the Ne
brasksns. "He la not going to resign from the su
preme court, which would be the step to
be taken by one In his position who con
templated being a candidate. He has is
sued one formal atatement upon the sub
ject snd does not deem It necessary to re
peat It.
"Immediately upon reading the an
nouncement In the newspapers, which
came as a surprise, that a formal petition
had been filed with the secretary of
state of Nebraxka. containing the requis
ite number of slgnaturea. putting the
name of Charles E. Hughes on the . pri
mary ballot, 11. U Green, Justice Hughes'
secretary, telegraphed to Secretarly of
State Pool, requesting him to mall a copy
of form of the petition. When that c
rives formal demand will be made by
Justice Hughes that hla name be re
moved from the ballot on the ground
that it waa placed There without hla
knowledge or consent.
Iteed Wll Deride.
"A dispatch from Lincoln quotes Attor
ney General Reed aa holding that under
the law of tha atate, Justice Hughes can
not withdraw h's name of his own act,
but must resort to court proceedings to
have It stricken from the ballot.
"Nebraskans In Washington aay that
.casual perusal of the statute with Its
j amendments would Indicate that a per-.
jaon named as a candidate without hla
consent may withdraw. They realise,
however, that if the attorney general
fenders any opinion to the contrary the
retary of state will be bound by such
anciaion. in trial event only a court of
law could relieve Justice Hughe from
I tho position In which he Is rlaced and
! legal proceedings will be Involved. Poll-
knows that tr allow hla name to remain
on the ballot would be susceptible of
only one construction, and that he was a
that hla name had been presented In due
form aa by statute provided to the voters
of th state of Nebraska and allowed to
atand.
"Th sealousness of the Nebraska re-
j publicans It wss said by t-e politicians
put the Issue squarely before Justlc
Hughes compelling him to positive action
on the cne hand or acquluaenc on the
the nomination."

- Major Morabt points out that French
and British troops In Serbia, although,
they had been on the ground for soma
time, have been unable to join hands
with the Serbians who are fighting In
the vicinity of Perlepe.
"This means that the entente force.
have obtained no advantage," he con
tines. "The French and British trooim
are arriving very slowly In the theater"
of operations In Serbia. Meanwhile the
righting has been going on and tha
strong .Bulgaria forces which up to tha
present have been engaged with the Ser
bians will soon be fre for action against
the French and British.

"It may bo estimated that France an I
Great Britain will be abio to assemble
150.000 troops with possibly 50.000 mor
from Egypt. If there be added 100,009
Serbians still able to participate in tha
fighting entente troops will amount
to 300,000 men."
Major Moraht does not give the num
ber of Oermana, Auatrians, Bulgarian
and Turkish troops available, saying
simply that they are Immenaely larger
