HEART AFFAIRS
BADLY TANGLED
Prominent Zoologist and
His Secretary Have Differ
ent Understandings
Lincoln. Neb., May 1. (Special)—
The breach of promise suit of Miss
Matilda Framstad against her em
ployer. Prof. John H. Powers, who is
one of the leading zoologists *he
country and master of mlscrosopjc
slides used in most of the re
search laboratories, is on trial in dis
tricr court here. Miss Framstad stays
that after he had agreed to marry
her he became infatuated with Miss
Bertha Banks, and refuses to call the
preacher.
Powers claims that the girl, who
acted as his secretary, was given
full charge of the business ena of
his factory as he was unskilled in |
that department, and that she used
her Influence to get him to give legal
control of all of his property to her
and her mother, and this he is trying
to get back. They say that he gave
this to them as security for money
they advanced to pay back alimony
to his former wife.
CHARTER MEMBERS HAD
UNDUE ADVANTAGE
Lincoln, Neb., May 1. (Special)—
Charter membership contracts with
the Klkhorn Life and Accident insur
ance company were declared null by
the supreme court in a decision just
handed down. The promoters 20
years ago, in order to get a suffi- 1
clent number of signers to applica
tions so that a mutual company
might be formed, offered charter
members a special dividend of 0 per
cent, of the gross premiums collect
ed.
The insurance department had or
dered. these modified or cancelled
years ago, and they have not been
paid tor seven years. A fund of
$30,000 has accumulated, and one of
the few surviving members brought
suit for his share. The court says
that the company had no power to
issue these certificates, and that
while there was nothing corrupt in
the transaction, there cannot be any
distinction made between members
of a mutual insurance company.

of them produced over 60 pounds of
milk a day. Butterfat tests are
running from 3.5 to 3 7 per cent, for

JUDGE ELLIOTT
HOLDING COURT
Number of Important Cases
Scheduled To Be Tried
At Lincoln
IJncoln, Neb., April 28. (Special)—
The term of federal district court
which opened today is expected to be
both a busy and interesting one, with
a number of cases of unusual im
portance. Judge James D. Elliott of
Sioux Falls is on the bench, acting
for Judge Thomas C. Munger. For
mer Judge VV. C. Dorsey arrived from
Omaha Sunday, and wilt assist Dis
trict Attorney Kinsler in the prose
cution of L. B. Howey and L. J.
Dunn, former officers of the City
National bank of Lincoln, who are
charged with misapplying the funds
of the bunk by extending cash and
credit to Lincoln firms already
heavily indebted to the trunk. The
indictment against Howey nnd Dunn
was returned sixteen months ago.
The defense has alleged at different
times that the indictment, was in
competent, because only a govern
ment investigator identified the
hooks and records taken before the
grand jury; that the indictment was
defective, particularly in relation to
the alleged conspiracy, and finally
that none of the alleged violations
were such in fact, and that there wan
nothing criminal in the acts shown.
Judge Elliott, however, at a previous
hearing, overruled the demurrer. The
loss sustained by the hank was
heavy. Howey and Dunn put up
their personal fortunes to make good
a part of the loss, and the directors
made up the balance.

VERIFYING THB B!BLt
The sum of the vrorlfl is tnrib.—
Ps. 119:160.
While the Bible contains a great
many things which cannot be verified
now, as, for example, all its doctrines
in regard to the future state, it con
tains also things which can be veri
fied.
Prophecies fulfilled—you remember
the great man who was asked to
name the strongest evidence of the
truth of Christianity, and who ans
wered in two words, "The Jews!"
records confirmed by external and in
dependent testimony from ancient
monuments and the scrolls of for
gotten historie&—there are many
ways in which our confidence in the
veracity of the Scriptures is strength
ened and supported.
But I think the best way rf all Is
by putting its moral and religious
precepts te the proof in this present
life and seeing whether the results
which are foretold do not begin to
follow our actions here and now.
Let a man take that word of Paul,
"He that soweth to his flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption; but h»
that soweth to the Spirit shall o!
the Spirit reap life everlasting,” an<S
try it by this test.
No lawr of the harvest could be
more certain and unvariable.
The Tyranny of Things.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
A New York wromai has suc
cumbed, she says, to th* tyranny of
things, and she is breaking up her
home (hat she may be free. She has
been embittered by the impossibility
of pleasing her domestic stall, although
she says she has done all she could
to make life pleasant and easy for
he rmaidi. Broadening Mine. De
Staels cynical ‘.The more 1 see of
men the better 1 like dogs" to in
clude the whole human rac«, she an
nounces she means ir> leave her
money to found a meFiorial hospi
tal for animals.
As to her quarrel with human na
ture the woman may be left to settle
t.iat uitn herself. To make a suc
cessful quarrel there must always
be two sides, and possibly when she
has the leisure coolly to examine
the causes of her grievances with her
kind she may discover the fault was
not all on one side. It seldom is.
When she arraigns the tyranny of
things she is upon sounder ground.
Bvery one knows about the perver
sity of inanimate matter, but not so
many people realize now tney are
ruled by their possessions.
Money itself can be a burden, the
weight of which grows heavier with
accumulation. Kings know this
tyranny of form and rule. The lone
liness which does hedge about a
monarch was pathetically voiced by
a great queen. When her husband
died she wailed, “There Is no one now
to call me Victoria.” And probably
never again in her long life did any
,one address her familiarly and lov
ingly by her Christian name.
Lesser persons than kings and the
rich also make themselves the slaves
of their goods. Who has not known
the good housewife who is held In
bondage by her house and furniture?
There is not a day she can call her
own, for daily her possessions silent
ly clamor for attention, and until
they have been dusted and cleaned
and made to shine, she knows no
peace of mind, or spirit. Nearly
.every one Is oppressed by unneces
sary and unessential persona! be
longings. The assembling of gear is
one of the penalties of civilization,
but things should not be allowed to
become masters instead of servants.
There are many more important
things in life than houses, and
motor cars and furniture, and clothes
and a feverish rush after pleasure.
The difficulty Is to hit a happy mean,
and to do that a philosophy of con
tentment must be cultivated; and
it must be learned not to fuss.
Fussing kills as many people as care.
EASTER RAIN
I think the sap of every spray
Leaps to a hidden tune today,
Bursting in music green and gay;
For love Is falling in the rain,
Drenching the world to life again,
Splashing through the April air
Resurrection everywhere.
O. magic of the humble shower!
Cup hearer to the smallest flower!
Stooping to pour the gift divine
In living streams of dewy wine
Where honeysuckles leap and twine!
Holding the cup to thirsty leaves
Of hawthorn bush and dogwood trees
While little birds in every lane
Sing “Love is falling in the rain!”
O, Mystery, to bend so low
That in a raindrop You might go!
O, Love, so intimate and small,
The breath, the bloom, the gift of all!
The Very Heart of every heart.
The end, the middle, and the start,
Above, below, within, without—
O, April blossoms, laugh and shout!
And soul, sing forth a high refrain,
Lifting a mad and happy strain.
For love Is falling in the rain!
—Margaret Prescott Montague, in
the North American Review.
More Egyptian Wonders.
From the Christian Science Monitor.
When it is recalled that Mr. Wayn
mann Dixon is the engineer who. in
1S“7. dug up the Cleopatra’s Needle,
which whs later set up on the bank
of the Thames, it is hut natural that
his recent suggestions regarding
further investigation of the Great
Pyramid should have aroused con
siderable interest in Cairo, Mr. Dixon
believes that there is a canal under
the pyramid, many allusions to such
subterranean waterways being found
In Arabic works and Herodotus spe
cifically referring to an underground
chamber in the hill on which the
Pyramid of Cheops stands. The fact
that this ancient structure has al
ready provided so many surprises
and that Mr. Dixon has contributed
to a number of the discoveries made
therein, would seem to furnish some
sufficient reason for crediting his
present theory.
For Future Reference
From the Washington Star.
“How long is this investigation going
to last?"
"I don’t know,” answered Senator
Sorghum, “it looks to me as if there
were enough material to enable it to
keep going through years to come as
a valuable warning to posterity.’’

Even If Some Details Overdrawn
Graft Picture Quite True to Life
. From the Philadelphia Record.
Republican newspapers that affect to regard the testimony
being produced before the Senatorial investigating committee as
almost too trivial to mention quite ignore one important phase
of this question. It may be admitted, for instance, that there is.
much that is absurd in the story told by A1 Jennings about Jake
Hamon, member of the republican national committee from Okla
homa, putting up $1,000,000 to secure the nomination of Senator
Harding for president at Chicago and spending money lavishly to
secure the support of the New York delegation; but such state
ments cannot be blushed aside as entirely unimportant. Doubt
less Hamon, if reported correctly by Jennings, was talking fool
ishly and with all the imbecile arrogance of an unscrupulous
vulgarian who has suddenly become immensely wealthy; but his.
remarks have their significance none the less because they cor
reetly interpret the men and influences that were potent in the
councils of the republican party in 1920.
In the same way much of the evidence given by Roxie Stin
son and other witnesses before the Walsh committee, especially as.
it related to the doings of the late Jess Smith, would be quite in
admissible in a court of law, but at the same time it has great val
ue as showing the kind of persons Harry M. Dapgherty chose for
his intimate associates, and so cannot be laughed away as being
of trifling importance. Certainly it has led the public to a firm,
conviction that Daugherty was a very improper person to have at
the head of the department of justice, and doubtless was one of
the leading factors in persuading President Coolidge to ask for
his resignation.
it is the atmosphere of the Harding administration, as re
vealed by all this sordid testimony, even though some of it is quite
improbable, that is the compelling feature of these disgusting dis
closures. Cheap machine politics and hard cash dominated too
many of the men close to the president and put an indelible brand
on the whole regime. Aside from the resignation of Denby and
Daugherty, the proposed cancellation of the oil leases, the un
masking of the avaricious Fall and the uncovering of a lot of oth
er crooks, the testimony presents a picture of republican leaders
and methods that is absolutely true to the life, even though some
of the details cannot be verified.
REAL DRAGON
THAT SPITS FIRE
IN THE MOVIES
Berlin.—German film producer* are
striving to gain a foothold in the
production of spectacular films, In
which American producers have hith
erto had the lead.
The most ambitious attempt in this
direction is the filming of the world
known folklore of the Nibelungen.
The Ufa-Decla concern of Berlin has
produced this saga. Immortalized by
Wagner and his music. Two years
had been consumed in making the
production with an army of actors,
architects, engineers and stage hand*.
The dragon in the picture, looking
frightfully life like, is 70 feet long
and weighs nearly two tons. The
beast Is able to climb down rocks,
drink water and move its ugly head
in any direction. It spits fire a dis
tance of 25 feet, and when Siegfried
attacks it with his sword, it wraps
itself in a veil of flames.
M hile the German producers are
striving for a foothold with spectacu
lar products. Germany imported from
abroad more than 2R0.OQ0 meters of
foreign products. The works of
Charlie Chaplin. Jackie Coogan, the
Gish sisters, Mary Pickford and other
American stars are now constantly
displayed In the bigger metropolitan

Ben Franklin’s House
Razed For a Bridge
Philadelphia.—Benjamin Franklin's
supposed “first Phils,delphia home’”
has been razed to make way for mod
ern day traffic.
The little alley house, more thant
200 years old, was in the path of the
approach of the Delaware River
bridge which will connect southern
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Sentiment was cast aside when the
wreckers demolished the house at
Fourth and Race streets. Under the
picks of the razers, the little dwelling
vanished, but the bricks were good
despite their age and will be sold
to be used in the building of another
house.
Whether the house was ever the
Franklin home has long been debated,
but never decided. Several efforts
were made to save the structure,
but were abandoned because the au
thenticity of the house could not be
verified.
investigators say the house was
unquestionably of the period in which
Poor Richard lived and express the
belief that it was the home of Frank
lin.
Until razed, the house brought a
rental of $15 a month.

Ander.ion, Ind.—Although our fi

Parents of Buddie Kistler, 3 years
old, took him to a physician to re

his throat. When this was done, the
doctor shook out four dimes that
Buddie had sw'allowed. Buddie’s ap

In These Days Lawyers Must Be Rated
Somewhat According to Their Clients
From the Lincoln Journal.
Samuel Knight of San Francisco cannot serve as attorney for*
the government in its ease against Standard Oil. The Senate re
jects the nomination on learning that Mr. Knight is counsel for a.
trust company in which the Rockefellers, who dominate Standard
Oil, are heavy stockholders.
A large majority of the members of the Senate are lawyers. It
is a body of lawyers which decides that an attorney who has been,
counsel for a trust company in which Rockefellers are stockhold
ers cannot be trusted as counsel to oppose an oil company in whiclt
these same individuals are heavy stockholders. The president of
the United States, himself a lawyer, took the same view in regard
to former Attorney General Gregory.
This makes a well nigh unanimous negative to John W. Davis'
claim that a lawyer should be judged regardless of his client. This
claim is in keeping with the old idea of a lawyer. He served case by
case. This week he might be trying a ease for a certain corpora
tiou. Next week lie might be trying a ease against that corpora
tion. Being iu the service of a wide range of individuals and in
terests the lawyer was looked upon as beinjf himself personally de
tached.
Now ibis is changed. The most successful lawyers are in the
salaried service of important clients. Mr. Davis draws from one
interest. the house of Morgan, a salary greater than that of tho
i president, of the United States. Such a lawyer is no longer an in
dependent attorney, taking eases from whatever source they come.
He becomes, in a sense, a member of the firm which he serves—its
steady agent and guide in much the same »ense as its president and
secretary. His mind grows fixed in his client's interest even as his.
client’s own. It is for this that even a senate of lawyers and a
president who is a lawyer lay down the rule that a lawyer must be
known by the client he keeps.
