Circuit Court. All Banks Aie Affected An Immediate appeal from the deci sion of Federal Judge J. W. Wood rough affecting Nebraska state taxa tion on bank shares will be taken by the national banks of Omaha to the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals. This was announced last night by Edgar Morsman, jr.( counsel for the banks. Judge Woodrough's opinion was handed down in the test case of the Stockyards National bank of South Omaha, which sought to restrain the county treasurer from collecting more than 25 per cent of the mill rate levy on the true stock vnluc of national and state bank shares. All hanks in the state, under the decision, must pay taxes on the full value, making an tncrease of several hundred thou sand dollars in their annual tax bill. The injunction asked by the Stock yards National bank was denied. 1', S. Statute Amended. Judge Woodrough's decision was prompted by the amendment of the United States statutes on March 4, 1923, so that the federal law no long er prohibits the state from classifica tion of shares of national bank stock as different from bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness in the hands of individual citizens. Suits of the national and state banks of Nebraska in 192J for en joinfhg collection of more than 25 per cent of the mill rate levied on true value of stock were upheld by both federal and Nebraska supreme courts, which ruled that the state statute on the taxation-of stock conflicted with the United States statutes. Judge Woodrough ruled that, be cause of the federal statute amend ment, there w!ere no longer grounds to enjoin enforcement of the method adopted by Nebraska legislature of 1921. Bank attorneys argued that the istate law was null and void, when passed because It conflicted with the federal statute and therefore con tinned to be null and void after the United States amendment was made The recent opinion' stated that, with . the passing of the federal statute, the ^tate law became of full effect. Impediment Removed. ' Judge Woodrough states: The amendment of the federal statute on March 4, 1923, removed the impedi ment to general and complete opera tion of the method of taxing shares of stock In state and national banks enacted by the state legislature in 1921, and that applicable rule which settles the question here in favor of the state and tax. is that laid down by the supreme court of the method of taxation now valid as to national bank stock and also state. The legis lature ts authorized to make the classification.” The judge also stated that, In his opinion, the Nebraska classification of banks, loan, trust and investment companies In one class nnd the plac ing of building and loan associations in another was valid.

The message, which Di Follette leaders said was received today, fol lows: "Replying to your telegram It is my desire that full and free oppor tunity he afforded under the state laws of our country for an expression of the popular will In the election of all public officials. To my regret there are states in the un'on where the law Is such that this is not pos sible and It is too'late now to change such laws. "While I am heartily in favor of party government I believe that when - contest is made in a primary which Is open to participation of nil the peo ple it should go far In determining what candidates are to he presented at a coming election. "Nevertheless, I recognize that it is the privilege of our voters to support anyone they wish at the polls and feel that the laws should not be drawn for the purpose of preventing such action. I would apply this rule not only to your complaint about Louisiana hut to all the other states of the union.

ZR3 to Span Atlantic Next Week Navy Can Only Fly One of Two Huge Dirigibles at Once, However, Because of Helium Gas Shortage. Shenandoah to Pacific Ily CnlviTsiil Service. Uakehurst, N. J.. Sept. 20.—The flight of the Zeppelin ZR-3, now at Priedrichshafen, across the Atlantic to- this airdome, where it will he turned over to the United States navy, may take place any time next week, according to official advices received here today. The destroyer signal squadron has been dispatched to its posts in midocean. Although the United States navy • will then have two mammoth dirigi bles stationed here, a peculiar sltua tion, discovered today, will permit only one of thorn to fly at one time Because of failure of the last con gress to appropriate $100,000 for a helium producing plant in the Texas oil fields—the only method by which i he rare noninflatnmable gas can be produced in great quantities—there is only enough helium in existence to float one dirigible. Hydrogen Barred. If the Shenandoah is to fly It will retain its present supply. If the ZR-3 is to fly the gas must be pumic’d from the Shenandoah into Its sister ship and the Shenandoah will be un ble to leave its hangar. Kven should congress appropriate the required sum at the next session, the needed helium gas cannot be pro duced until next spring. The ZR 3 will be flown across the Atlnntie inflated with hydrogen, the highly inflammable and explosive gas which has caused several shocking airship disasters in recent years, ns a result of which Its use Is banned by the United States army and navy regulations. Shenandoah to Fly. As soon as the ZR-3 is berthed in the hangar after its transatlantic flight: the hydrogen will be pumped out and the gtant dirigible will be useless unless helium is pumped in from the Shenandoah. The navy was particularly eager to fly the two airships together In for mation over largo cities to demon strate to the public their ease of con trol and dependability. The Shenandoah will probably mako a flight to the west const and return Isidore the arrival of the ZR-3. It was tested out today, after certain necessary alterations were made for the flight, and is scheduled to leave Wednesday. MINISTER HELD ON ABDUCTION CHARGE Nowata, Ok la.. Sept. 29.—Rev. Joseph E.

FL?>RY. International News Service Staff Correspondent. London, Sept. 29.—“I’m only n girl of 20," said Imogene Wilson, danc ing Broadway beauty, in explaining In an exclusive Interview today with International News Service how badly she was misunderstood. “Frank Tlnney, the comedian, who Imogene said "knocked me cold" in New York, when his admiration for her reached its peak, arranged the In terview In the Rltz Carlton hotel, where she is staying on her way to Italy. "Why all this fuss about me?" asked Imogene. "Naturally when I stopped over In London I looked up Frank Tinney just as I would any one else in ihe profession if I knew them. What’s wrong with that?" The dancer was not in the best humor. At first she refused to talk, but at last yielded to Tinney’s lm portunltles, "(’nine on. Smile.” “Come on. Bubbles; smile,” said Frank. But Imogene refused to smile. "Then tell your story," suggested Tlnney. "I haven’t any story to tell,” said Imogene, and began to tell it: "I'm simply going to Italy to make pictures. It's my first visit to Lon don. and I like it Immensely; but I cannot stay long. I'm leaving prob abiy Wednesday or Thursday for Italy. -I'm not telling the newspapers whom I'm working for or under what name I have contracted. Once before the newspaiters concocted wild stories and I lost It. Never again." Tinney, in one of those asides that -------* make his vaudeville skits what they are, ohserved that the dancer was "mighty smart" and “had a good head on her shoulders.” Imogene went on with her story: Well, Why? “Frank didn't know I was coming. Why should he? Why all this in terest in us? The English public doesn’t know or care what Frank does as long as he makes them laugh. "They don't care If he has Rix wives or eight other women. Neither do the Americans. It's all the news papers' fault. They've made an oM woman out of me when I'm only a girl of 20. I'm fed up on It.” Although Miss Wilson was a bit pale, she scarcely- looked tfte part of an old woman. Fiank said In thought so too. He watched her admiringly and in another aside said: "Ain't she beautiful?” Despite hts pleading thnt she smile a little, Imogene remained haughty. She talked for 20 more minutes on the subject of why the newspapers should bother her, remarking: Trying to Get Along. "The public is tired of It. I'm on of the public myself; I'm sick of It I won't stand for any more non sense. I'm just a girl determined to make good in the movies. "I won't have my chance spoiled by newspaper gossip. Most report ers reminds me of school boys. They should be spanked.” Thereupon she unceremoniously; ended the Interview, by darting aw .v leaving Frank to explain that, despit her pouting she was a "good kid. Ho confessed that he liked her. but added: "I'm not making a fool of myself Hundreds Killed in China Battle Lines Along Six-Mile Front Drenched by Shrapnel Fire. By Awwlited Prrw.
