Winning Babies Named
Special Dlupalrh to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Sept. 5.—Today marked the
close of Nebraska's annual state fair,
one of the most successful In the his
tory of the fair. The attendance will
total approximately 8,000 more than
last year, according to I. D. Toleti,
superintendent of gates, and the ex
penditure of money by visitors
amounted to two or three times as
much as a year ago, according to the
fair managers.
A speech by Adam McMullen, re
publican nominee for governor, was
one of the chief features of the day.
The speech was well received by a
large crowd of listeners.
Mr. McMullen stressed the agricul
tural situation and asserted that "ag
riculture has far too much political
organizing and not enough business
organizing.
"It has too many alleged leaders
who talk and lecture theories,” Mr.
McMullen said. "Men who do not get
down to brass tacks or to practice'
«nd tangible things. Legislation Isn't
the all Important thing with agricul
ture; business action Is what counts
and this Is true of all Industry.
Farm Tax Too Heavy.
"Legislation can help the farmer
to help himself, and that is all we
can do. Industrial and agricultural
progress has been made In the last
30 years, especially along Industrial
lines. This has been due to the in
telligent effort and dlligenca on the
part of the farmera themselves.
The have made steps toward organ!
zatlon and In many ways have co
perated and worked together.
“The taxation problem In Nebraska
Is closely Identified with the agri
cultural. because 73 per cent of the
revenue raised by taxation Is as
sussed against real estate and ap
proxlmately 77 per cent of this ren
estate tax Is levied on farm property
This places a tax burden on agricul
ture out of proportion to Income
The only way in which this burden
may be lessened Is through econo
mical management of public affairs
not alone In the state government
but In all subordinate units of gov
ernment.
“Money should be spent only for
necessaries and above all else, we
should see to It that every tax dal
lar expended for public service
should purchase 100 cents worth of
value.”
Prize Winning Babies.
Selection of prize winning babies
at the better-baby contest was a fea
ture of the day. The winners are.

Investors Find
Prosperity Here
Eastern Banking House Has
Qreat Faith in Nebras
ka’s Outlook.
Guy W. Seem, of the S. W. Straus
& Co., Investment bankers of New
York and Chicago, announced In
Omaha Friday that so confident Is his
company In the proapects of Nebraska
and Omaha that It has “unlimited
funds to aid In financing new build
ing construction projects here, pro
vided they are necessary and com#
up to ths requirements of a safe In
vestment.”
"A new day haa dawned for Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa and the agricultural
states of the northwest,” said 8eem.
“The long night of falling farm prices,
frozen loane, Incessant bankruptcies
and general stagnation which began
In the 1920-1921 depression, seems at
last at an end.”
Purchasing Power Increase.
Seem is making a etudy of business
conditions here. He declares the har
vest season of 1924 has brought a
tremendous Increase In purchasing
power to the farmer. Based on grain
crops, agricultural values may easily
double those of 1923, and the influence
of this new purchasing power has al
ready become evident, since the
threshing and marketing of the 1924
crop began, he said.
“Our reports Indicate that not only
are farmers liquidating their debts
and coming Into tha market for new
purchases, but also that rapid prog
ress is being made in the direction
of financial rehablltatlon of the eoun
try merchants and the country
banka.” continued Seem.
Thorough Survey.
“We have Investigated conditions
here and feel safe in offering aid In
financing new buildings. W e have
the utmost faith in the growth and
development of Omaha, and we stand
ready to do for It what we are doing
for cities such as Dallas, St. Louis.
Milwaukee, Houston. Detroit, Los
Angeles, Seattle, New York and Chi
cago.
"We will underwrite first mortgage
loans to finance new building con
struction. The classes of property we
will consider making loans on Include
office buildings, residential, commer
dal and apartment hotels, commercial
and storage warehouses, business and
mercantile buildings and the land
thereunder.”
Seem declared that although «1-2
to 7 per cent interest rate has pre
vailed on most real estate bond Issues
made during the recent years, that
Omqha builders will now have the
benefit of a 6 per rent rate.

Thursday.
Photographs Tell Story
New York, Sept. 5.—A United
| State* warrant for the deportation of
Lula Angel Firpo was authorized to
night by Secretary of Ijtbor Itavls.
Immigration Commissioner Harry
Curran, in stating from Kills Island
that he had been authorized to apply
for the warrant, refused further com
ment, ,
As two full business days are re
quired for completion of the tech
nicalities in signing and serving the
summary warrant, a race will now
ensue between time and Curran,
prodded by the labor department, and
Canon Cha«e.
The finish la Thursday night. Sep
iember 11, the date of the Firpo-Wll's
fight.
The Instructions from Washington
came on the heels of categorical de
nials of Flrpo s stories of "platonic"
relations with Bennrita Blanca Lour
des and of Commissioner Curran's
dally communique whitewashing the
defendant in the proceedings before
him. •

After testifying before Curran.
Mrs. Nita Nits!, landlady of the
rooming house In which Flrpo and
Miss Lourdes had apartments a year
oeo, told that her patrons had lef*
behind photographic records of their
Intimacy.
"Flrpo will be deported," said the
woman, who seemed to have advance
knowledge of the warrant permit
which arrived an hour later. "He

"After Blanca departed she sent me
a telegram telling me to look for all
papers, pictures and letters which she
left behind, and to destroy every
scrap, I did."
William A. Wltmer, also a witness
'oday, and once Firpo's secretary,
told of the photographs.
Flrpo, it seems, didn't know the
camera was loaded, and he pointed
It at himself and pulled the trigger
at a moment when he was In a most
awkward pose with Miss Ixiurdes
Tense Battle Begins.
Flrpo fired Wltmer in one of his
thrifty fits snd Wltmer has been
wondering what he could do with the
negative ever since.
Wltmer said, that as Firpo's sec
retary, he had advised against bring
ing Blanca into the United States.
Flrpo disregarded the advice, he tes
tified .and the Infuriated lady re
taliated by plotting for Winner's dia
missal.
Under the surface, a tense battle
for the time Is being fought over the
week end. Certain forces are commit
ted to the principle that Flrpo shall
keep a toehold on American soli until
he can collect the f#0,000 puree next
Thursday.
The first handy monkey wrench
to be thrown at legal machinery will
ha the postponement over the week
end. Then through the first four
days of next week Firpo's backers
will use every argument for delay.
