I A
THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 16, 1917.
BANK DEPOSITS
GAIN NEARLY 14
MILLION IN YEAR
Remarkable Showing Indicat
ing Continued Properity
Which Surrounds This
Market.
Bank deposits in Omaha gained
$13,861,476 since a year ago. The
loans have gained $15,916,147 in that
year.
These gains are gleaned from the
figures made public by the Omaha
banks when the national comptroller
of currency issued his call for bank
statements of September 11. The call
a year ago came as of September 12,
1916. Thus the comparison can be
made on the basis of a year lacking
lust one cay.
As comoared to three months aeo
however, the deposits in Omaha are
down $9,000,000, and the loans are
flown $3,500,000.
, This is the norma! slump in de-
posits due to the withdrawal of
money at this time of year by the
country banks to supply the farmers
during the harvesting, crop gathering
and crop moving season.
This showing of the banks is also
more remarkable when it is consid
ered that farmers have no wheat to
sell, which generally comes in at
this time of the year.
Following are the figures and com
parisons:

; How Korniloff Worked.
An officer who arrived hr tnA
from General korniloff's headauar-
A. . .a - '
i si juomiev gave tne hrst au
thoritative account of the events there
at tne outbreak of the rebellion.
The officer said that last Saturday
a number of infantry "striking bat
talions." volunteers and nicked mn
the backbone of General Korniloff's
Drier, ualician offensive early last
summer, arrived at headquarters.
They had been informed that they
were, needed to reinforce the Riga
front, but the real aim was to march
them against Petrograd.
That night Korniloff prepared his
first proclamation to the army, order
ing the printing of a vast number of
copies. - The socialist compositors
later received Premier Kerensky's
proclamation and while diligently
printing that of Korniloff also
secretly printed Kerensky's and cir
culated it everywhere.
Meanwhile the local .council of
deputies began a vigorous demonstra
tion among the "striking battalions."
ffhe Kerensky proclamation caused
dissensions among the troops and a
majority 01 tnem sent a demand to
Korniloff that they immediately be
sent back to the front. A battalion
of the Cavaliers of St. George seced
ed from the rebellion and announced
that they would die for the provi
sional government and issued orders
to attack Korniloff.
The local civilians were anti-
Korniloff, but the local union of offi
cers of the army and the fleet ap
pealed to them to support Korniloff,
declaring that he was Russia's only
salvation.
Plan Massacre.
Another officer says that he, with
one officer from the all-Moscow regi
ments, was summoned to Mohilev.
In Petrograd, the officer said he
was told, "there has been planned a
new Bolsheviki rising, in which are
mphcated some of the ministers, and
the object of which is to conclude a
separate peace and send disbanded
soldiers from house to house to mas
sacre the bourgeoise. Without help
from the front it is impossible to de
feat the plot. General Korniloff al
ready has sent part of the army to
Petrograd and his plan is to appoint
himself temporary dictator."
This officer says that every officer
was given 15U rubies tor expenses.
The,, officers, he added, on Monday
returned to Moscow, where they read
Kerensky s proclamation and realized
the truth of the situation.

General Palchinsky, the new com
mander of the troops in the Petro
grad district, in an interview assures
the public that the revolt "has had
not the slightest unfavorable influ
ence on the fighting capacity of our
troops.
Telegrams from the front announce
that the spirit of the soldiers is good,
while an official dispatch refers to
the devoted bravery displayed by
the soldier, fighting at Okla. It is
stated that the revolting troops every
where are returning to their posi
tions. General Stcherbatcheff, the com
mander on the Roumanian front, has
issued a stirring appeal, declaring that
it is the supreme duty of the soldiers
to defend the fatherland against the
foreign foe. (
U. S. Will Not Requisition
Wheat on Farms, Says Hoover
Washington, Sept. 14 Reports that
the government is contemplating
requisitioning wheat on farms to keep
flour mills going were denied tonight
by Herbert Hoover, the food admin
istrator. Mills generally, Mr. Hoover
said, are running on full time, al
though some are handicapped by
shortage of grain.
Food administration officials expect
wheat to begin to move freely within
a short time. Except in limited areas
where anti-war and pro-German prop
aganda is carried on, there has been
no disposition by farmers, Mr. Hoover
said, to withhold wheat from the mar.

Amsterdam, Sept. 15. The three ca

The Koelnisch Zeitung says that it

sinking steamships without leaving a

expression does not mean sinking a
ship with all hands, but so sinking

Mrs. Patrick Henry Makes
"Give Me Liberty" Speech
Patrick Henry, last name Hushes
didn't spring the immortal speech o
"give me liberty, etc.," when his wife,
Ruth L. Hughes, was granted a de
cree by judge bears, sitting in'di
vorce court. Patrick Henry didn't
get his liberty his wife got hers, but
judge bears ruled he would have
to pay her $50 a month alimony any
way.
Mrs. Hughes sued on grounds of
alleged nonsupport and desertion. She
said her husband earned $200 a month
salary, but did not contribute regu
larly to the family exchequer. She
was given custody of two children-
Robert Munger Hughes and Hortense
Ruth Hughes.
The Hughes were married in Chi
cago January 18, 1914.

northern and central Nebraska.
Fall plowing ,in most localities is
well along and the solving of winter
wheat under way, with a considerably
mcreasea acreage over any tormer
years.
Already in many portions of the
state farmers have nearly completed
seeding their corn fields. This is
done by working small seeding drills
between the corn rows. Good results
are anticipated, the theory being that
tne seed will germinate this fall and
attain considerable - growth. Then
when the winter snows come it will
fall between the rows of the stalks

next spring.
All through the state haying has

Speculators Begin to
Ship Wheat to Market
Holders of wheat in Omaha trade
territory are beginning to loosen uo.
presumably in anticipation that in
stead of prices being higher, they are
going to be lower, is the opinion of
Food Administration Agent Neal,
who is greatly pleased with the out
look for the future.
Saturday wheat receiots on the
Omaha market were twenty-nine car
loads as against fourteen on the cor
responding day of last week. This
to the mind of Mr. Neal indicated
that the men and corporations having
wheat in storage are beginning to
show a disposition to help in the
matter of increasing the available
food supply.
While the receipts were fairly
heavy, there was nowhere enough to
go around and fill the orders that Mr.
Neal had on hand. The demand from
millers of this territory are piling up
and at the same time numerous or
ders are coming from those in far
away states. No attempt will be made
to, fill orders of the outsiders until
the home territory is amply supplied.
