' 1 Deniea Marriage Rumor. -Leflang denied rttmor that be de sired hit wife to obtain an absolute divorce o he would be able to mar ry a ;ain. "You can truthfully quote me. at aying that if 1 marry again it will he to my former wife." said Mr. Leflang, "at least under present cir cumstances." The decree entered yesterday gives Mrs. Lrriang the custody of their 17-year-old son. Chester, who is attend ing high school here, and who is living with his mother at the Tadatt sue apartments. The opening gun of the Leflang divorce case was fired in March, 1920, when Mr. Leflang filed suit for di vorce, charging his wife with cruelty, Mrs. Leflang riled an answer deny ing her husband's charges, charging him with cruelty, and asking separ ate maintenance. Had "Martha" Letters. The trial, hr; November of 1920, took nearly 10 days. Judge Sears denied a divorce to Leflang and gave a decree of separate maintenance to Mrs. Leflang. with $300 alimony. Some time later the almony was in creased to $350. In the hearing for increase of alimony' Mrs. Leflang identified a newspaper picture al- leged to have been taken in Cuba and declared that a woman standing be side him was "Martha," letters from whom to Mr. Leflang figured in the divorce trial. Leflang obtained a divorce from his wife in St. Joseph, Mo in June, 1921, It was quickly revoked by the judge there, however, when he was notified. Judge Scars had refused to grant Leflang a divorce in Omaha. ' Deniea "Martha" Business. Asked about the "Martha" woman yesterday, Mr. Leflang smiled and said; "There's nothing to it." "1 II stay around Omaha for a few days more before going back to Chi cago! I'm living . with my father here," said Leflang. "Yes, I've been in Omaha several times recently, and I've seen Mrs. Leflang once or twice during those visits."

An official of ;the Nebraska Ce ment company in' Omaha stated that Johnson is making a mistake."

Cardinals Gather, .The sacred couureKation convened yesterday morning, when the cardi nals were mtoi;mcd ot the pope s death. V itli the exception of Cardt nal Gasparri, the papal secretary of state, they gathered in benedict s private apartment, Gasparri, in due and solemn form, escorted by the Swiss guard m full dress and accom panied by the prelates and acolytes ot the reverend apostolic chambers, entered the apartments a few min utes later. He will administer the holy see during the interregnum. Cardinal Gasparri, "surrounded by the cardinals, then proceeded to ver ify the death of Benedict, extending over the lifeless form a silver wand and crying out: "Giacomol Gia- como! Giacomol" He opened the certificate of death find declared: Dominus papa nos ter mortuus est," thus announcing crucially the pope s death. On leaving the pontifical chart bers. Cardinal Gasparri, still 'escort ed by the Swiss guard, descended to the first' floor, where the sacred congregation convened, commencing its deliberations ,at 10 o clock. The official and semiofficial Vatican- organs gave 6 o'clock as tne time of the pope's death, and the Kcme newspapers do likewise. .Tells of Last Moments. Motisighor Pizzardo, in 'describing the last moments, said to the Asso ciated Press correspondent wno was the only American newspaper rep tesentative admitted to the ante chamber: .. "When the end was near, I was called a'rom my chamber and hurried quickly to the pontiff's ' bedroom. That was a few minutes before 6 o'clock. I saw. the holy' father breath his last. As the other ore- late knelt beside the silent and lifeless form,' I asked that I might tell the news to the press. I thereupon hur ried to the ante chamber,.' where sev eral newspaper men were awaiting events, and informed them that the pope had died." ihe,eiia came alter an anxious night of intense agony and suffering, ik. .TI I .1 1 - . - the pontiff now and then lapsing into delirium.

Shortly afterward .Cardinal Gasparri proced td with the formal taking over of the temporary 'charge of the "affairs of the church. , 'i Speculation Rife. v Speculation already is rife con cerning a successor. Cardinal Gas parri is among those', most promi nently mentioned, although the se lection of a papal secretary is almost without precedent. The College of Cardinals" is un derstood to be divided into two fair ly equal groups on the pope's- suc cessor. The ' groups represent those who wish the next pope to come from outside Italy and those who think he should be a native. At the moment the latter group appears to be in the ascendency, although cer tain members. of the sacred college show a strong liking for Cardinal Merry Del Val, native of Spain. Amonfj the native Italians, Cardi nal Mafft of Pisa is the most strong ly supported in Italian centers, but his advanced modern ideas are like ly to arouse opposition, particularly in the group headed by Cardinal Merry Del Val. It is considered pos sible that because of these two op posing groups. Cardinal Gasparri may be chosen as a. compromise be tween therru 1 'sacU Harding Boosts Waterway Route at Farm Meet Declares lUfore National Farm.

If nationalistic prejudiced and economic difficulties can be overcome by Europe, they certainly should not be formidable obstacles to an achievement less ex pensive and giving promise of yet greater advantages to the peoples of North America. Not only would the cost of transportation be greatly re duced, but a vast population would be brought over night in immediate touch with the markets of the entire world."? ' Development of a thorough code of law and btisiuess procedure, with thi proper machinery of finance, to assure the farmer as generous a sup ply of working, capital oil as reason able terms as 'granted other indus tries, was advocated by the president. .An industry" he said, "more vital than any other, in which near half the nation's wealth is invested can be relied on for good security and certain returns." Declaring that on the matter of what may be called fixed invest ment capital the disadvantage of the former so impressed public opin ion that the federal farm loan board was established to meet the need, the president said that the farmer still needed some provision for sup plying him. with working capital.- i Compared with other industries, he continued, "the wonder is that agriculture, thus deprived of easy access to both investment and ac commodation capital? has prospered cveVso5 well." ''-.' Lines on which financial support nf airririiltiire mav be oriranized. he said, arc suggested in the plan 'of the federal farm loan board and in these rural finance societies which have been so effective, in some Eu ropean countries. . ' ,, Farmers- Co-Operating. "The co-operative loaning associa tions" of Europe have been effective incentives to united action by farm ers, he continued, 'and have led them directlv into co-operation in both : production -and marketing, which have contributed greatly to the stabilization and prosperity of sericulture." The manufacturer, he said, whose turnover is rapid, finds he can bor row monev from the bank on short- time notes when he needs working aoital and his money will come back to hirrt,iir;timer.to meet, his short- term oblieation. On the other hand. he continued, the farmer's turnover is a lo8g one,, from a year m most crops t some tames, tnree years in the cat)b industry. '. n ;; . Compelled to Kenew.

Farmer at , Disadvantage, The farmer, h? -declared, from the very mode of his life is individualis tic and, therefore, "because he buys and sells as an individual it .is his fate to buy in the dearest and sell in the cheapest market." He con trasted with this the corporation, he said, which ; could effect economies and acquire a power in the markets by combinations. ' The president said there . was a misconception regarding the finan cial status of agriculture. "If the mortgage indebtedness of farms shows, over a given period, a marked tendency to increase, the fact betomes occasion for concern," he said. "If, during the same peri od, the railroads or the great indus tries controlled by corporations, find themselves able, to increase their mortgage indebtedness by dint of bond issues, the fact is heralded as evidence of better business condi tions and of capital's increased will ingness to engage in these indus- TIIK liKK: OMAHA.

J he certainty that such scientific dis rribution of production lyi ; to beob- served would strengthciT the credit of agriculture and increase the secur ity on which financial advances could be made to it. The disastrous effects which arise from over-pro duction are notorious, "It is aooarent that the interest of the consumer, quite equally with tnat of the producer, demands meas- ures to prevent these violent fluctu- ations and haphazard production. Indeed the statistics of this entire subiect alrcadv clcarlv demonstrate I that the consumers' concern for bet- fer stabilized conditions is quite equal to that of the producer. The farmer does not demand special con- sideration to the disadvantage of anv other class; he asks only for that consideration which shall place his vital industry on a parity of oppor tunity with others and enable it to serve the broadest interest."

While understanding that the confer ence is not a legislative body, he added, "we do confidently anticipate that the considerations here had will be helpful and illuminating to those immediately responsible for the formulation of public policy in deal ing -with these problems." Relief Measures Supported The administration has been keen and had given encouragement and support to every measure which it believed was calculated to' 'ameli orate the condition of agriculture. So long as the emergency continues, he said, it must be dealt with as such, but at the same time, "there i$ every reason for ns to consider those per manent modifications of policy which may make relief permanent, may secure agriculture as far as possible against the danger that such condi tions will arise again, and place it as an industry in the firmest and most assured position for the future Bryan Head v to Give Democrats His Leadership rtilltii'Ul l ot Mart Hulling I v I I u 1 wn" rprnon ,r...rB Capital With Draft, of r lifllfB.
