In This District! "Something Radically Wrong " With Syateru," He Declares In Reply to Attack on State Bank, r Lincoln. Sept. 2J.-(J?pcUI. Governor McKcWie tody rallied to the defense of Nebraska banker c cued of profiteering in reducounting note to the Federal Uoervc bank at Kansas City hy Gov. V. C. G. Hard ing of the federal rewrve board. (iovrrnur McKelvic also attacked the federal recrvc ly.item in thin district, declaring there it something radically wrong with it, and that it dor not functiou properly. In a letter to Governor Harding, Governor McKelvic says: "Something Wrong." "The fact that you give regard ing the rate of interest that in being charged by correspondent bajiks on loans that are rediscounted through federal reserve banks are Intensely interesting. I am not prepared to say that these margins have given any unusual profit to the banks that have been patronizing the federal reserve system, but I do feel there is some thing radically wrong with a system which requires such wide margins. Also, I am convinced that this and other hampering influences niut be remedied before the system will be very useful to agricultural borrowers here. "I am informed that the hanks m this district are not generally patron izing the federal reserve y.itvm. It would seem that if the margin in dicated in your Fetter are profit to the correspondent banks, there wouiu be more general patronage of the Federal Reserve bank. The answer to this seems to be indicated in a telegram that I have just received from a member lank at Genoa, Neb., as follows: "'The Farmers State bank joined the Federal Reserve bank two years ago and for the past six month has rediscounted 10 per cent interest bearing notes. Our records justify me in saying that we have made no profit owing to their changes of rules tnd rediscount rates.' "I am also informed that certain bunks in this territory have, within the last 60 days, withdrawn from membership in the federal reserve system. From information that I have, I am altogether convinced that the federal reserve system is not functioning as it should in this dis trict. The demands for liquidation were harsh in the extreme in view of the fact that this is an agricultural region and the borrowers here could not easily conform to the same re quirements that were imposed on semi-agricultural or non-agricultural regions. "In conclusion I desire to suggest the desirability of a close co-operation among all the agencies that have a controlling influence over the handling of federal reserve funds in this district This is not a condi- : tion that obtains novand I am sin-! cerelv hooeful that something will be '.Cma tn Krinff if ahMir. Mav T an ticipate your hearty interest in this direction?" Governor McKelvie, in his letter, also refers to the meeting of bank ers which he has called to be held in Omaha next Monday to confer with Eugene Meyer, jr., chairman of the war finance corporation. 1 CUlCl I Udl aJCIVllC Available to Russia Washington, Sept 22. The Post office department has completed plans, it was learned tonight, by which, in co-operation with the British postal service, parcel post matter may be sent from the United States into Russia. The British service operates by way of Petro grad and through "a port on the Black sea," the department was in formed in a message from London, which added that "uninsured parcels may be sent at senders' risk, to all parts of Russia, except the Ukraine and Turkestan." ' Postal rates, it was announced, will be 12 cents a pound, plus a "carriage charge" ranging from 66 cents on one pound to 85 cents for 10 pounds for Russia-in-Europe, and from 96 cents for one pound to $1.14 fnr 1ft nrtmiffa Pitccia-in. AclQ ' - Shortage of Ministers Is Declared Acute and Grave Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 22. The present shortage of ministers is to the report of the committee on home missions of the European sec tion, presented at today's session of the general council of the Alliance of Reformed Churches throughout the world holding the Presbyterian sys tem. - , ' A contributory cause to the short age was given as "the utter inade quacy of the financial provision made for either minister or missionary."

Three members of the Dcllart family in the state prison at Lincoln want to' stage a family reunion before the younttest, William, 21, is released. The other two are Kolla DeHart, 24, "lifer." for the murder of John Mize near O'Neill last summer and Delia Dcllart, 22, his wife, serving 10 years as an accessory. William is a younger brother of Kolla, just limbing a three-year sentence for stealing chickens. If Delia could have entered prison a few months ago, she would have been within hailing distance of a former husband, also. The DcIIarts ive at Durwrll. Toddle May Be Doomed, But Omaha Flappers Scorn Waltzes for Latest Race-Horse-Trot Take hope, ye conscientious ob jectors to the terrible "toddle." For the "toddle" is going, and accord ing to reports, going fast. . As defined by the leading diction aries, to "toddle" is to walk with short, tottering steps, as a child. But the reformers, who have been agog over this "freak" dance which has swept the country have another definition for it. They claim it is synonomous to such depressive ex pressions as immoral, vulgar and dis graceful. But as yet there is no good rea son for dancing masters to become jubilant or reformers gleeful over the passing of the "toddle." If Oma ha's dancing places are taken as an example the dancing masters who have been praying for the return of the two-steps and waltzes are due for more discouragement. For Omaha flappers are "agin 'em." With a hint of scorn the flapper paints a picture of the old fashioned waltzer or two-stepper, floundering hopelessly around the floor, counting the steps with scien tific exactness. Yes, the "toddle" is going, but the world is not yet safe for the two-steps and the waltzes. Mention the "toddle" to any sweet young thing who dances and she'll smile scornfully and say: "It isn't being done, not in the least. Put on a new record, change the needle, and I'll show you the latest dance, the "race-horse-trot." - (Famished by Omaha Ante Club.) Lincoln Highway.

Washington, Sept. 22. The system by which coal operators in the West Virginia fields pay the salaries of deputy sheriffs was held to be the principal cause of complaint from the miners and to be largely responsible for the recent mine disorders, in statements made last night to the senate iuvestisralinsr . committee in Charleston by Attorney General Eng land and made public on return today ot the. committee to Washington.

Sinn Fein Confab May Be Delayed Prospects for Meeting Legs Hopeful Since Cabinet Session. London, Sept. 22. Prospects of a conference between Sinn Fein rep resentatives and members of the British cabinet at an early date were declared today to be less hopeful as a result of yesterday's consultation between Premier Lloyd George and several of -his ministers at Gairloch. Several of this morning's newspa pers reflected this view and reports from political correspondents at Gairloch generally agreed that the ministers showed a more rigid at titude toward souther Ireland. It is declared there is a tendency on the part of the cabinet members who talked with the prime minister to insist that Eamonn De Valera formally withdraw his claim that Sinn Fein delegates would enter the conference as representatives of a sovereign state. Jap Railway Seeking Huge Loan in America Shanghai, Sept. 22. Persistent rumors are current among Chinese bankers and officials here that the South Manchuria railway, a semi official enterprise of the Japanese government, is making serious at tempts to float a loan of $212,500,000 in the United States for development in Manchuria and Mongolia and also to purchase an interest in the Chinese Eastern railway . The Chinese say that the railway is $orth $62,500,000 and if given as security, as rumored, the loan would not be covered. They take this as a further indication that Japan has not changed' its aggressive - policy, despite its offers to return Shantung. They do not believe that American capitalists will be persuaded to ad vance money under these conditions. Record Bigamist Of State Paroled By Pardons Board lttleaoc of Harry S.
