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."

The bids were refused and. he went
on the open market and obtained the
car at a price of $2.36., He said he
knows that this dealer had a profit
of only 4 .cents per barrel, or $12
for the car. He explained that in a
case of this' kind the dealer acts as
w order-taker and that the dealer
iioes not actually handle the cement.

"There are too many items to be

An official of ;the Nebraska Ce

Johnson is making a mistake."
"If cement is ordered even in im

declared, "we see that it is delivered.

kneeling onlookers. Immediately
afterward, the doors were opened to
the multitude) desirous of looking

ponnrt.
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

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."

'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

in the group headed by Cardinal
Merry Del Val. It is considered pos

the industrial life of the continent's

. "Feasibility Unquestioned.'
"The feasibility 'of the project i
unquestioned and its costs, compared
with some other great eimiiRcriiu'
works, would be small. DisorLanied
and prostrate, the nations of central
turooe. ar even now setting their
hands to the development of a great
continental waterway, which, con
necting the Rhine and Danube, will
bring water transportation from the
Black to the North Sea, from Medi
terranean" to Baltic. 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 ;; .

"Yet the farmer is compelled." he

The: president said- that concern
ing' the' gffm reality of the present
crisis in agriculture there can: be
no differences of opinion among in
formed people." ;, '
The depressions and discourage
ments," he continued, " are not. pe

absolutely necessary industry."
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

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."
Crisis May Result Well.
Turning to the subject of trans
portation the president said that "if

as a piece 01 gooa lortune jo Uie

"This conference was called." he
reminded the delegates, "with the
aim to bring about a general under
standing of the critical situation now
confronting American agriculture."
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
