All the proposals dealing with questions of administrative policies end practices, were adopted by more than the necessary two-thirds ma jority vote, the chamber said Thurs day i nannounclng preliminary re turns they were based upon a report on activities of the federal reserve system by hte banking and currency committee of the national chamber.

Death of For mer Papal Sec retary of State Cardinal Merry Del Val Dies Follow ing Operation Long Distin guished Figure at Rome. ' Rome, Feb. 26. Cardinal Merry Del Val, 65, until recently papal sec retary of state and arch priest of St. Peter's, died today from heart failure after au emergency operation for appendicitis. The cardinal was stricken sudden ly ill yesterday and grew worse dur iug the night. Finally an operation was deemed necessary and this was performed by Prof. Bastianelli. The cardinal was resting comfortably this Hfternoon when fatal collapse came. The cardinal's death which follows that of Cardinal Perosi, secretary of the consistorial congregation, last Saturday, now leaves the college of cardinals with 32 so-called foreign cardinals and 28 Italians. Cardinal Merry Del Val was one of the most distinguished figures in I he recent history of the papacy. He was made a cardinal in 1903 at the comparatively early age of 38 and forthwith was created secretary of state to Pope Pius X. The cardinal was of noble Spanish birth. His father was Spanish am bassador to the court of St. James. when the future cardinal was born in London in 1865. He was educated at the Jesuit college of St. Michel, Brussels, and was selected as private tutor to King Alfonso XII. When his father was appointed Spanish ambassador to the holy see, he ac companied him to Rome and entered the Georgian university to prepare for the priesthood. The cardinal was protecor of many religious orders in the United States and Canada, among whom were the Sisters of Divine Providence in Texas, the Sisters of Charity, knowi as the Gray Sisters of Canada, the Sisters of Charity of Blessed Virgin of Du buque, la., the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis of Oldenberg. Ind., and the Franciscan Sisters Third Order of the Immaculate Conception of Joliet, III. The prelate appeared in excellent health on his recent public appear ances and his seizure with appendi citis came with extreme suddenness. He succeeded Cardinal Rampolla as pontifieial secretary of state in 1903, having been made a cardinal. His term in that office ended with the death of Pope Pius X. 11 years later. He then became archpriest of St. Peter'B. He officiated only two da.ys ago at the baptism of the graud niece of the pope. Maria Pia. daughter of Count and Countess Ueolin. World-Herald. LEAGUE GROUP IS DIVIDED Geneva After failing to reach an agreement on an important point Thursday morning, the committee preparing amendments to the League nt N'aHnna pnvpnnnt ntrain found it- self sharply divided Thursday in studying another part of the covenant in order to close up the so caueu "war gap." Disagreement first arose among the iurists In considering article twelve. They could not agree on the question whether the parties to internattonai disputes should be limited to arbitra tion. Judicial settlement and appeal to the league council, or should be given an opportunity to employ any and all possible maans of settling their quarrels. The matter was re ferred to a sub-committee.

Recovery Made as Exchange at Om aha Renews Its Attack of Fed eral Farm Board Chicago Above the hubub of voices clamoring criticism of tin farm board's grain policies were heard the shouts of traders Thurs day bidding wheat futures up with in nine cents of the price the Farm ers' National Grain corporation u paying its co-operative farmers for cash wheat. Two days ago. at it? weakest moment in years. March wheat sold at 9S :?-4c nearly L" cents a bushel cheaper than the govern ment's cish price. Thursday's advance of 2 1-4 to 3 7-S cents on the Chicago market was credited chiefly to the prercnee of government agents in the wheat pit. Observing that the "laugh is on the government" for engaging in future trading after "years of criti cism of grain exchanges and of fu tures trading." the Omaha grain ex change said: "Since about Jan. 20 they (the government corporations) have pur chased somewhere around 10.000 bus hels of cash wheat at a price about 13 cents above its present value in the world's market. With a dead loss of about $1,500,000 haunting their dreams they have recourse to the speculators method for recouping the loss. They bought more wheat this time in the futures market, but v.-ith the hope that later rising prices will enable them to recover pai;t losses. "These purchases have established the fact t hat the government now recognizes the value of the future market, however. If its use of this modern tool of trado shall restore confidence and brine an improved price range, congratulations will be in order. Winnepeg Taking its cue again from Chicago, the wheat marked moved optimistically forward Thurs day out of range, temporarily at lea.-t of the year's lows touched in Tues day's hectic session. It closed only fractionally below its peak quota tions and registered net gains of 2 3-4 to 3c for the day. May futures shot forward to $1.17 and closed at $1.16 7-S; July touch ed $1.19 and closed at $1.1S 3-4 to 7-S. and October reached $1.20 clos ing at $1.19 7-8 to $1.20. State Journal.

Sir Ceorge Hubert Wiikins. head of the expedition, and Pilot Chess raann left the ship off the coast and flew to land. Sir Hubert will remain here for about a week and then start for New York, although he is yet undecided as to what steamer he will take. Shortly after reaching the United States he will proceed to Ihirope, with the object of preparing for his intended submarine expedition to the arctic this summer. During the trip just completed. Sir Hubert found less ice than on his previous expedition to the south polar regions, he said, but the wea ther was invariably worse. Six flights were made in the hydroplanes Los Angeles and San Francisco, wmji over land, others over me sea. am still others over large masses of floating ice which resembled islands of exceptional size. Three of the flights were ot Ioiik duration, and traversed hitherto un known territory, never described by other antarctic explorers, Sir Hubert said.

Feb. 2j.--Obscrvinrr that the small town independent merchant should ! reiaii.ed in open competitive field, (Inwrncr Weaver today suggested a form of sales tax as a means of equalizing con slit ions. His comment on the chain stor controversy was made, for a mem ber of the McKrndree college debate squad at L banon. 111. Calling attention to the fact that Nebraska has not enacted any laws cither to encourage or to prevent th growth of the chain store, Gov ernor Weaver described th" present situation as on directly attributable to the branch store evpansion by larger merchandising concerns, who, he said, had taken advatuage of the aut and good roads. Patronage to Decide. "The final answer to this expan sion." the governor paid, "will couh from the people tlvmselves, because their patronage will determine thv success or failure of the system." Practically all of our merchants, he added, have been local home own ers and taxpayers, interested in eve ry community enterprise and sup porters of churches and schools. "Hecause foreign-owned or foreign-operated corporations bear only a small part of the expense and re sponsibilities wiiicn attr.cn to local merchants, the competitive field should be kept opnn to the worthy small competitor by a system ol tax ation," the governor suggested. Proses Graduated Tax. This taxation, he explained, should be upon an entirely equitable basis, operated with reasonable exemptions on a craduatod basis of gross sales or excess provts. A taxation system of this nature, he said, would conform to the rec ognized principle of the graduated federal income tax. "I know of no other way to meet the new ami complex problem which, now confronts the sm:ill business man. It would justly .supplem-m needed organisation for co-operative nun ha.Ae bv small mercliants ol goods on a In rare scale, and tne personal contract and service which comes- i from local business mvii'Tiip. home j ou nerslitp. and Homo interest in .ill i community affairs." he slid Wauts Competitive Field.
