ties are too exacting for his health
and his resignation was tendered for
that reason, effective Feb. 1.
The new acting commissioner is
well known in the business circles,
having been for 10 years superin
tendent of the Bradstreet commer
cial agency's branch in Lincoln. He
also has served as an examiner for
the state bureau of securities.

Lincoln, Feb. 5. A Judgment of
$449 obtained by. Marie Welch of
Neligh against School District No.
192 of Hojt ctmnty for breaking her
teaching contract, was affirmed by
tne supreme court commission Tues-

led appear at the school on three oc-
( xiuveri,ii w io uruu6ui uui
ithat one of the members of the board
end and that his failure to do so
caused her to be absent twice. In
the third instance a severe storm
prevented her from going to school.
In another opinion the commission
affirmed the $1,000 judgment obtain
ed by Florence L. Reinoehl, against
the city of Chadron from injuries she
suffered in a fall caused by the poor
condition of a street crossing.

Make Study of
Flood District
.
President-Elect Hoover Will Inspect
1lr nVeerbohee Tiietrirt
of Florida
Miami Rearh. Fla . Feb 4 Prt-ti-
dent-elect Hoover decided tnriav tn
maee a nerunnal insnertinn nf th.one to three years,
Okeechobee district of Florida to get
first hand information as to the needs
for flood control in that section
where 2,000 people were drowned
during the 1928 storm.
Announcement of the decision was
made by Glenn B. Skipper, republi
can national committeeman for Flor
ida. After a conference with Mr.
Hoover, he said the president-elect
would leave here on February 14 or
15, and that the trip would require
two days.
Details as to where stops will be
made remain to be worked out. A
complete circuit of the district will
be made, Mr. Skipper said, and the
president-elect will have advantage
not only of surface indications, but
also of information furnished by
members of the party who are thor
oughly familiar with the whole sit
uation.
Belief Plan Proposed.
Major General Jadwin, chief of
army engineers, nas recommenaea
to congress an appropriation of $ 10,
740,000 to build levees, reservoir and
to aid navigation in the district.
Besides the loss of life in the 1928
hurricane resulting from the over
flow of Lake Okeechobee, a large
number of persons also was drowned
in that region during the 1926 hur
ricane. Lake Okeechobee is about forty
miles northwest of Miami Beach and
is one of the largest all-American
lakes in the United States.
Fatilities in this district have far
exceeded those in the recent Missis
sippi river flood where Mr. Hoover
personally directed relief work while
the river was on its worst rampage
in recent j-ears.
Meantime, the president-elect will
spend much of his time this week
conferring on legislative and other
questions with Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah, chairman of the senate fi
nance committee, who announced
upon his arrival "Utere today to be
guest of Mr. Hoover that he would
urge the calling of the special ses
sion of the Seventy-first congress on
April 1 ratherthan April 15.
Could Finish Task July 1
The Utah senator expressed the
oupinion that if congress met on the
earlier date it could -conclude its la
bors by July 1. although. he predict
ed that the democrats would play
politics with the tariff revision mea
sure, which is to be considered along
with farm aid legislation.
I am in favor of giving the farm
ers everytning tney warn ea.cepi
price fixing." the senator said, with
respect to farm relief. "If a three
hundred million revolving fund is
nsufficient then we will give them
five hundred million", or whatever
is necessary. 1 ao not want any caute
for complaint after congress has
acted."
The senate leader was positive that
. . . j X
no more tax reduction coum uc
looked for by the country for a long
time because of the increasing de
mands for revenue that will be made
upon the treasury in the next few
years for farm relief, the Boulder
canvon dam. Mississippi river flood
control, naval construction and other
new projects upon which the govern
ment has embarked.
Must Beach A Limit.
This rising tide of prosperity the
country has been enjoying must
reach the sky limit sooner or later,"
Senator Smoot said. we need not
fool ourselves on that proposition and
do not want to see the federal trea
sury have a oencit.
Additional means of protecting
American beet sugar growers through
tariff law amendments were declared
by the senator to be imperative if
the beet sugar industry in this coun
try is not to be wiped out. His first
proposal was a limitation upon free
imports of sugar from the Philip
pines.
While believing that Mr. Hoover
would have a specific recommenda
tion to make to congress on farm
relief. Senator Smoot thought that
the legislation finally enacted would
be formulated through a process ot
elimination pf various plans and bills
which would be put forward.
SNOW DELAYS FRAHM SEARCH
Sidney, Feb. 5.-r-Search for the
body of John! Frahm, missing ranch
man, continued under difficulties
Tuesdav with a heavj- snowfall over
western Nebraska impeding thei
searchers.
Information is that Fred Frahm,
brother, is. held at Lincoln. State
Sheriff Condit, leading the search,
refused to disclose Fred's where
abouts.. If the body is not found soon
or evidence not produced sufficient to
hold him, forgery charges will be
brought by Cheyenne county author
ities, they said, in cvonnection with
two checks drawn on a Wahoo bank
and presented by Fred at a local
bank last December.
SherifT Condit questioned Mrs.
Mack McCarty in the sheriff's office
here Tuesday for four hours. She.is
a friend of Fred and alleged to have
taken trips with him in John Frahm's
car about the time of the latter's
disappearance.
Fred Frahm has a wife and five
children here. Last summer Mrs.
Frahm started .vorce proceedings
but later withdrew the charges. She
claims tc now nothing about her
husband's movements last November
or his supposed or alleged Infatua
tion for Mrs. McCarty. Frahm was
a candidate - for - Kk,rU of CUeyenue
.county in 1918.

Faith in Bank
Fund is Costly
to Depositors
Witness at Injunction Suit Tell of
Lurid Promises of Security
Under Guaranty
Lincoln, Feb. 5. Depositors of
failed Nebraska state banks came to
the fore here Tuesday to attest to
their belief to the security of these
institutions as an impelling force that
led them to place their funds upon
deposit.
Headed by the Rev. J. C. Peter
son of Dannebrog, they came at the
bidding of Attorney General Soren
sen and counsel for the intervenors
in their fight to prevent the banks
from enjoining future special assess
ment collections.
Deposited $10,000
Called to the witness stand. Rev.
Peterson told how he had deposited
nearly $10,000 of his personal funds
in banks at Dannebrog, which subse
quently failed and went into the
hands of the guaranty fund com
mission.
Total claims, he declared, amount
ing to $5,465.35 had been refused
through the guaranty fund.
"Were these funds your life's sav
ings?" he was asked, but not per
mitted to answer under Judge Lin
coln Frost's ruling.
His faith in the guaranty fund,
Rev. Peterson declared, had been in
stilled by the bankers, by their
pamphlets, advertisements and even
references to the security of the in
stitutions as inscribed, upon their
checks.
Lurid Promises
"I was told that my money would
be perfectly safe through the guar
anty fund, that even in the event
of failure I could expect payment
within 30 to 60 days," Rev. Peter
son related.
"I especially remember one of these
newspaper advertisements that said
I would not lose a cent of my money,"
he continuedr- -
"Did this have a special appeal
to you?" the attorney general asked.
"Yes, it surely did," the witness
declared.
Declaring that he would not have
deposited his funds if not for his re
liance upon these statements. Rev.
Peterson admitted on cross-examination
that only state banks were in
operation than in Dannebrog.
Attorneys Wrangle
Rev. Mr. Peterson was followed to
the stand by Carl M. Borgenson. an
other depositor, who was permitted
to remain seated in silence for many
minutes while attorneys for the
banks and the state attempted to
meet on a common ground with stipu
lations relative to the testimony of
depositors.
One side of the courtroom was
lined with these witnesses and others
had been summoned by the state from
some distance away.
"If the state insists upon question
ing all of these witnesses whose tes
timony will be the same, why not let
us call equally as many of the pre
sent 300,000 depositors who will
say that they no longer rely upon
the guaranty fund," Attorney Flans
berg suggested.
"We want the court to see these
depositors, to hear them on the wit
ness stand and to "know they are
telling the truth," the attorney gen
eral countered. Omaha Bee-News.
ASSAILS NATIONAL
GUARD
MEASURE
Lincoln, Feb.-5. At the request of
Adjutant General H. J. Paul, the na
tional guard reorganization bill, H.
R. 329, will be amended in tne nouse
by striking a clause empowering mm
to buy real estate and erect build
ings thereon for use as armories by
local organizations of the national
guard.
This will leave the same provis
ion as at present for leasing armory
quarters where needed, but all pro
visions for purchasing ?r construct
ing them with state funds will be
eliminated.
'I am not in favor of thi's buy or
build feature of the bill and would
not want to assume such authority
as it contemplates," Adjutant Gen
eral Paul said Tuesday. "I have no
desire whatever to go into the real
estate business." N

Senate Approves
Bill to Provide for
15 New Cruisers
President Coolidge Dislikes Time
Limit, But Is Not Sure He
Will Veto Measure.
Washington, Feb. 5. An increase
In the navy by 15 cruisers and an
airplane carrier was voted today by
the senate, 68 to 12, with the stipu
lation that the ships be laid down
before July 31, 1931.
The bill is almost the same as
that approved by the house a year
ago. It must be returned, however
for the consideration of the two
amendments made by the senate. Ap
proval of these is expected without
the necessity of a conference and if
thi3 is done, the measure will then
go to President Coolidge.
Disregarding the wishes of the
president the senate, like the house.
voted overwhelmingly to specify when
construction of the ships shall be
started, and if Mr. Coolidge accepts
the bill it wlil be incumbent upon
him to recommend at this session a
budget estimate for five of the
cruisers.
Appropriation of $274,000,000.
The program involves a total ap
propriation of 274 million dollars.
including 17 million dollars for each
of the 10-ton cruisers, and 19 mil
lion dollars for the airplane carrier.
Mr. Coolidge has had his doubts of
the government's ability to meet this
financial outlay, and he is obviously
very much displeased with the re
fusal of congress to listen to his
plea for control over the naval pro
gram. But he has not decided to
veto the measure.
Friends of the bill in the long de
bate have pointed constantly to the
growing British navy with its 63
cruisers which were not involved in
the Washington limitations agree
ment of 1922. The new cruisers Mill
give the American navy T.3 modern
cruisers with a total tonnage f 296
thousand tons, against 33 cruisers for
Japan with a tonnage of 206,415.
The British tonnage is placed at 386,-
636.
