Howell Ob jects j to Special Fund Manner of Paying Certain Farm Loan Board Expenses Questioned by Nebraskan. By P. C. row FIX, '.fashlngtnn Correspondent The Omaha Bes. Washington, March 6.—Following disclosure at a hearing of the senate hanking and currency commission that the federal farm loan board kept an account In a Washington bank and used It for paying obligations that did not go through regular routine procedure of other obligations, Sen ator R. B. Howell announced that he intended to make a thorough checking of the account. Committee disclosure, according to information in the hands of Senator Howell, are to the effect that the sal aries of M. B. Corey of Omaha, and 13. B. Jones of Pennsylvania, two new members of the board, were paid from this fund, since at that time there was no appropriation available for such salaries. Appropriations have been made and the amount taken from this fund has been reimbursed. Claim Procedure Regular. Other use of the fund, according to tlie understanding of Senator Howell, has been to pay expenses of Charles 30. Lobdell, the fiscal agent; a son of Hobdell, who Is employed by the board, and traveling expenses of another member of the hoard. By using this fund and checking it out. certain ex penses escape the regular routine and censorship of the Treasury depart ment, Howell claims. The money, which has totalled as high as $37,000 at a time, is derived V from interest on bonds which are held by the board for a short time after their issuance and before sale. Hobdell asserted before the commit tee that use of the fund and handling it through a private bank on checks signed by the chairman was sane Honed by heads of the various farm loan banks. "I want It understood,” Howell said, ‘ that I arn not fighting the farm loan system. I am merely endeavoring to ascertain if it is being run on prin ciples that in the end will make It a success. In many instances pro cedure of the hoard which is under criticism has met with my approval.” Woman Writer Investigates. For weeks the committee on hank ing and currency has been holding hearings on the confirmation of new hoard members. Senator Howell has been in almost constant atttendance. The person who has conducted the most searching scrutiny into the methods employed by the board is (iertrude Matthews Shelby, a maga zine writer, interested in co-operative hanking. She charges that stockhold ers in the banks are not getting fair i epresentatlon on boards. The Strong bill passed in the last congress gives the farm loan board power to appoint a majority membership on boards or directors of farm loan banks. Today she called on Senator Borah to propose sending questionnaires to the 4,600 farm loan association offi cials asking them their opinion of the present mode of handling director ships.

Coolidge Delegate Lftt Names 8 Women Lincoln, March 5.—Coolidge state headquarters gave out the following statement today: "There has been much talk of late about recognition of the women by political parties. So far as the pri mary campaign is concerned, the is sues are made up. The Johnson campaign has submitted a list of delegates to be placed on the pri mary ballot by petition. The pub lished list fails to show the name of a single woman. The press quotes Governor Bryan as saying that he does not consider It "feasible” to se lect women as delegates to the dem ocratic national convention. "The Coolidge delegate and alter nate ticket contains the names of eight women, five of whom are on the delegate list. The Coolidge state committee sponsors, and has circu lated petitions placing the name of Mrs. K. B. Penney of Fullerton, on thte ballot as a candidate for national committeewoman.
