"It was believed further that thuso bills would have furnished at the end of the wur an excellent ineasuru of pro tection to thu American lluauclal situa tion Inasmuch as these steadily matur ing obligations of the foreign govern ments would have tended to prevent heavy drafts of gold from this mar ket."

S. WARNS BANKS TOLD OF DANGER TO INDUSTRY IN WAR LOAN NOTES. Federal Reserve Board Sees Peril In the Purchase of Short-Term Notes. Washington, Nov. 2!). The federal reserve board Issued a statement on Monday warning banks and the public against the purchase or Miort-teriu for elgu notes. The statement will be a severe blow to the financiers who were planning to limit these loans In the United States. lho statement says In part: "In view of contradictory notes which have appeared In the press re garding Its attitude toward the pur chasing by banks In this country of treasury bills of foreign governments, the board deems It a duty to dellne Its position clearly. "The board believes that at this time banks should proceed with much caution in locking up their funds In long term obligations which arc short term In form or name, but which, either by contract of through force of circumstances may have to be re newed until normal conditions return. The board's concern and responsibility lies primarily with the bunking situ ution. "If, however, our banking Institu tions have to Intervene because for eign securities are offered faster than they enn be nbsorbed by Investors that Is, their depositors nn clement would bo introduced which, if not kept under control, would tend toward In stability and ultlmuto Injury to the economic development of this coun try. "While the loans may bo short In form nnd severally mny be collected nt maturity, tho object of the borrower must be to attempt to renew them col lectively, with the result that the ag gregate amount plnced here will re main until such time as it may bo ad vantageously converted Into a long term obligation. It would, therefore, seem that funds of our banks, which should bo available for short 'credit facilities to our merchants, manufac turers nnd farmers, would bo absorbed for other purposes to n disproportion ate degree, especially In view of tho fact that many of our bunks nre al ready carrying foreign obligation." which they are under agreement to re new. "The board deems, therefore, Its duty to caution the member banks that It does not regard It In the Interest of the country at this time that they In vest In foreign treasury bills of thlr character." NO PASS FOR VIENNA ENVOY Great Britain Refuses Safe-Conduct for Austrian Ambassador to the United States. London, Nov. lit). The foreign of lieu has sent Ambassador I'age's note definitely refusing to grant a safe-conduct to Count Adam Tiirnowskl von Tainow, the new AuHlro-Iluiigurlim ambassador to thu United States. The reason for the refusal may be paraphrased as follows: "Kven If Inlernaflonal law forbade the refusal of a safe-conduct, the actions of Austrian and German em bassies and consulates abroad have been so much In excess of regular dip lomatic functions (hat thu Ilrltlsh gov ernment feels Jusillled In withholding Its consent for such diplomats to travel to their posts."

CATTLE DISEASE A MYSTERY Itema of General' Interest Gathered From ReJIable Sources Around the State House. Western .Nrwapnper Union .NVws Snvlcc. The thlrty.flfth session of the Ne brnskn legislature -will convene nt noon Tuesday, January 2, four weeks from Tuesday. Tho date nnd even the hour for the first meeting are provided for In the state constitution, nils year tho members of the legls laturo will havo to leave their homes on Now Years day or before In order to ho on hand for the opening session.

Tho temporary organiza tion Is completed with tho selection of a spenkor nnd chief clerk, nnd the ap pointment of a committee on creden tials to examine the credentials of the members. After the organization hns been complotcd the legislature pro ceeds to the task of canvassing the vote of the hist election und listening to the governor's message, which usually sounds the keynote to his policies for the ensuing year. Men who have been following the legislature closely in recent vcars iu-uuici mat tlie 1317 Bosslon will prove most Interesting, chiefly because of the expected light on liquor en forcement laws. Stella Cattle Disease a Mystery. Four young heifers in tho dairy hord at the state hospital for the In sane at Lincoln have died. Mr. Gerdos of tho Htato bonrd or control has beon informed that they died of hemorrhagic septicemia. Ho will probably have the herd vaccinated to prevent rurther loss. The state veterinarian's ofllce is still undecided ub to what caused the death of several horses on a farm near Stella. An examination of material gathered at the farm, made by Dr. Van Ebb of tho North Dakota agri cultural college, appears to preclude death from disease, such as swamp fever, anthrax and hemorrhagic sep ticemia. Dr. Van Ess suspects that death was caused not by disease, but from some form of acute poisoning. This could be from poison accidentally or Intentionally administered by some one, or by poisoning that naturally formed In the forage or food. Want to Change Coal Contracts. Coal dealers under contract to Bup ply etato InBtltutionB with fuel this winter havo lately been calling upon tho board of control and pouring into tho ears of its members various tale of woes about tholr Inability to secure coal from mines, chiefly on account of car shortage. They havo proposed several expedients for meeting the situation, among which is tho supply ing of higher priced coal than that or iginally contracted for, It tho atate will pay tho difference. The hoard of control recently called upon tho dealers holding contracts at half a doze" of the largest institutions to atock thofn up with adequate stores of winter fuel to guard against a pos sible shortage. Now tho dealers aay they can't get enough coal to tako care of all their trade. The." want tho board to tako a certain percentage of tho kinds of coal contracted for say 50 per cent and buy other fuel for tho balance. Have Signed Election Returns The state iMiivassing board has gono through tho motions of signing tho oin-jiai returns as tabulated In lho ofllco of tho secretary of state.

R. Robort son ranch.near Wauneta, Chase coun ty. It was from this ranch that cattle were sont, to Kansas City, whero they showed signs of having tho foot and mouth disease. Tho stock yards at Wauneta aro also to bo quarantined and disinfected. Searching for a Model. in anticipation of action by tho com ing legislature to provide for the erec tion of a new cnpltol building, Stato Enpineer JohnBon and Representative elect J. H. Craddock' of Omaha, who Is an archltoct by profession, havo started to obtain plans of capltolB built in othor wostorn states during tho recent years, or which are now In process of construction.

This is a much larger proportion of experienced members thun hus been tho rule In tho past. Thero will also bo a number of senators and represen tatives who have seen legislative 3erv Ico in former yenrs, but wero not In tho sesnlon of 191C. In tho senate, fifteen members wero re-elected nnd eighteen 'seats will bo occupied by now men. Tho houso will contain forty-flvo of Its old members from two years ago, as against fifty flvo others. The democrats will have eighty-four votes and the republicans forty-nlno on Joint ballot. In tho house, the di visions will bo slxty-ono democrats nnd thlrty-niiip republicans. The sen utn will comprise twenty-three demo crats and ton republicans. Examining Into Cattle Disease. Dr. A. W. Miller of Omaha who wnB sent to Wauneta to examlno stock remaining on the Robertson farm and adjacent farms, is n government In spector of stock yurds. State Veter inarian Anderson Is personally nc- oualnted with Dr. Miller and hns con lidence in his professional ability. Al though Dr. Miller Is cautious in his report It closes with the positive opin ion that It Is Improbnblo that the foot nnd mo'uth disease exists at Wauneta. Ho sayB: "It has been Impossible to make a positive diagnosis of the dlsenso nmong the cattle In this vicinity. "Some lesions have been noted In some of the cnttlo that closely re semble those found In foot, nnd mouth disease. However, taking Into con sideration everything our InvcsllKntlon has disclosed up to the present time, It appears Improbable tho diseaso nf fectlng cattle In tills vicinity is foot and mouth diseaso. "Will advise you if anything new develops through further Investiga tion of the disease." Hearing on Demurrage Matter After considerable testimony had been Introduced boforo the state rail vny commission last week tho hear ing of the application of carriers lor an Increase in demurrage charges on intrastate trafllc in Nebraska was con tinued indefinitely. iThe carriers were aqked for much testimony which they did not havo and which cannot bo col lected for some timo, so the hearing was postponed. It is alleged that tho carrlors ad mit privately that they probably should not have filed their applica tion relative to Intrastate traffic when the same question ia pending boforo the interstate commerce commission. Tha roads filed tariffs and a request for increased damurrago with tho In terstate commerce commission. Tho federal commission suspended tho re quest and the tariffs and will hold a hearing at a later date. Usually about ten months' time is required to dis pose of such a case before the inter state body. When the Interstate com merce commission suspends tariffs in such caseB tho burdon of proof Is then upon the carriers to prove their case. Without n ruling on the question from the foderal body the carrlors filed a similar application with the Nebraska Btate commission. Eight-Hour Day Legislation Labor Commissioner P. M. Coffey has written a lengthy treatise on the history of eight-hour day legislation, which goos back to tho year 1844 and traces the growth of the movement to tho present time. He says It grew out of tho earlier agitation for a ten-hour, workday in tho United States and Great Britain. The greatest advance made by any country bo far In tho direction of a universal olght-hour day, Mr. Coffey finds, has been in Australia. Ho de tails what has been dono by tho fed' eral government nnd tho different states In this country, relative tc eight-hour and ten-hour day lawB. Tho evident purpose of tho contri bution Is to aid in the campaign now being inaugurated by the Amorlcun federation of labor to make the eight hour day universal In all crafti throughout the United States. Frank Pllger of Pierce has recentl boon appointed by Govornor More head to servo for a period of five year on tho stato normal board, a board having control of the four stato nor mal schools.
