Omaha Case to Test
"Loan Shark" Law
(From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 9. (Special.) An Oma
ha suit to test the validity of the "loan
hark" law passed by the last legisla
ture has been appealed from the dis
trict court of Douglas county to tha
Nebraska supreme court.
The defendant is Jules Althaus, who is
charged with loaning without taking out
a required license with the secretary of
Ktate. HU alleged victim waa Alonxo H.
Wlnslow, 1707 Cass street, who he is
alleged to have charged 800 per cent
Interest after taking assignment of his
salary and. his pension.
Althaus charged that tha act is illegal
in that it legislates by class, putting a
fine on professional lenders. A similar
law passed by the 1913 legislature was
knocked out by the supreme court on
the same ground.
Thus far W. C. Frampton of Lincoln
is th only loan agent in the state who

BIG PINEY RANCHMAN KILLS
SELF AFTER WRITING NOTES
BIG PINEY, Wyo.. Oct, . -(Special.)
After writing letters of farewell to his
sister, the coroner and a friend, Albert
McNish, a veteran ranchman placed them
betwen his saddle and his horse's back,
turned the horse loose and blew out his
brains. The suicide occurred at a lonely
point on the Dry Piney along which Mc
Nish had been hunting a strayed horse.
Later In the day Walter Vlckery, ob
serving a saddled and riderless horse
running at large, captured the animal and
drove It to the Thornton ranch. Un
saddling the animal there, he saw Jlc
Nlsh's letters fall to the gTound, read
the message to the coroner and notified
that official.
McNlsh's body was found reclining
against a fence with half the skull blown
away. The automatic pistol used by the
suicide law on his breast.
In his messages McNish stated that
he had been driven to suicide by financial
worries. McNish at one time was con
sidered wealthy, but he lost his property
through litigation. An adverse decision
in a land contest which he brought
aginst County Commissioner Thomas
O'Nell was rendered a few days ago, and
this Is thought to have been the reverse
which finally broke his courage and in
spired suicide.
TWO REPORTS CAUSED BY
SHOT FROM SINGLE GUN
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Oct. B.-One of the curious
phenomena connected with the sounds
of flying bullets Is the apparently double
report from the shot of a single gim.
This is observed with special frequency
by the Austrlans fighting In the Alps
against the Italians. They were disposed
to believe the second report was the
echo of the first, but the curious fact
remained that the second report was
louder than the first. Moreover, the
German soldiers fighting In Belgium,
where tho land lies level as a table, of
ten heard two reports.
Tho explanation now put forward Is
that the flying bullet compacts the air
In front of it, and that this produces
sound waves which, when they first
strike the ear, give the effect of an
explosion. As the smull-culibre bullet
of the modern rifles flies considerably
faster than sound travels, the main re
port arrives later, and Is naturally
lotxler than the first.

(Correspondence of tbe Associated Press )
LONDON. Oct. &. In order to remove
doubts among the French working peo
ple regarding the part Knglnnd Is play
ing In the war. the British socialists
have by the consent rf tho French gov
ernment arranged a series of lecture
tours covering the great Industrial rltles
of France and lasting for the period of
two months. The speakers selected are
Adolphe Smith, welt known writer
and siaker who rerved aa a volunteer
with the Frenrh during the siege of
Paris In 1S70. and John Hodge. M. P. Mr.
Smith speaks French like a ntalve, but
Mr. Hodge's speeches will be translated.
In a trip to Frame to arrange these
meeting- the two "organizers of frater
nity" were received by President Poln-
enre. Minister of Munitions Thomas and
other ministers and deputies. These of
ficials gave not only full consent to the
meetings, but aided arrangements, as the
object Is to combat the propaganda of
of the small minority of prltlsh peace
party socialists, who have given the
French workmen an erroneous Idea of
the attitude ofBritlsh labor toward the
war.
Adolphe Smith witl give a general ac
count of the British effort and Mr,
Hodge will tell what the British working
classes are doing. Tl first meeting
will be held In Paris, aU-nded by work
Ingmen and sexiillstii. The second will
be before deputies, French government
officials, university professors and rep
resentatives of tho ress ta the ministry
of public works, Lyons, Bordeaux, Mar
seilles and the manufacturing cities will
be covered by those speakers.
SCHOOLGIRLS UNDERSTAND
WAR BETTER THAN BOYS
(Correspondence of the Associated Press )
LONDON, Oct. 5. Lord Kitchener seems
to be the only cabinet minister who has
Impressed the Imagination of the English
children, according to an examination of
flfteen-mlnute Impromptu essays written
by 3,081 school children at the Instance
of Dr. C. W. Kimmlns of Southwark.
The war lord was constantly referred to,
hut not a single other minister was men
tioned. The essays, classified, showed the girls
reached the pitch of warlike feeling at
the age of 10 and the boys at 11 years.
From the age of 11 onwards the pupils
began to show anxiety on such questions
as the cost of food and the Dardanelles
operations, connecting the forcing of the
narrows with a plantttul food supply
from Russia. Girls at 13 manifest a
maturity in their views of the war at
least a year ahead of the boys. Curiously
enough, the advance on Paris and the
retreat from Mone made little Impression
on the children.
A little girl, aped 11, wrote:
"The oiiain of tho wur was this: That
when the German emperor wns at Wind
sor ho Insulted Queen Vlctoila, and so
King Edward smocked him 'round the
face. The Gorman emperor said, 'I'll be
avenged,' and hence the war."
A hoy of 12 wrote:
, "The advantage of the war Is that tho
men have learned to knit;" another boy
wrote: "The main disadvantage of the
war Is that girls must remain old maids
bocause there will not be any men left."
GREAT BANKS OF BERLIN
DO EXTENSIVE BUSINESS
(Correspondence of th Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Oct. B. The great banks of
Berlin appear to havo had fairly satis
factory results during the first half of
the current year. The Deutsche bank
even reports that Its business was re
markably good, but the sources of Its
earnings were partly different from those
of last year. An Essen bsnk attached to
tha Deutsche bank, had even larger earn
ings than for the first half of 1914.
The Berliner Handelsgnsellschaft, an
other of the big Institutions of the cltv,
also did comparatively well, the reduced
earnings from brokerage operations and
stock and bond flotations having been
counterbalanced by interest receipts on
loans and discounts. Good profits were
made by financing the manufacture of
war supplies, and surplus deposits could
also be put at a fair profit Into the
treaaury bills of the empire. The leading
director of the Dresdner bank says that
the business results of that Institution
have been very good. He mentions the
fact that many foreign securities were
sold for the bank's customers. He men
tions Scandinavian securities as an ex
ample, but says that still more Rumanian
bonds were sold.
