ENDORSES THE RESERVE ACT

MEMORIAL FOR HENRY YATES
Professional politicians and agi
tators received several lusty raps
yesterday afternoon in the address
' of President Jesse C. McNIsh of the
Nebraska Bankers' association at the
opening of the two days' session at
Hotel Fontenelle.
"We must assist," he said, "in
keeping the demagogue and the pro
fessional politician out of office.
Their attacks upon successful men
and organized business have worked
Immeasurable damage. Professional
agitators are a national liability,
rather than an asset. However, pub
lic opinion is showing tardy disap
proval of unnecessary political an
tagonism to legitimate business, and,
hence the country may get more bills
of lading and fewer bills of legisla
tion." President MoNish reviewed the business
and Industrial conditions whiuh he re
garded as favorable, and told of the good
work of the Banker association in pro
moting the farm development movement.
"The bankers have been active and lib
eral, but their best work has been done
In the exertion of personal influence upon
their patrons in advising them to co
operate with other men In the com
munity In plans for Improving and in
creasing the products of the farm. This
has engendered a spirit of co-operation
as between farmers and townspeople,
which la highly beneficial.
State It a rat Credit.
"We should have a rural credit system
applicable to American needs. One plan
contemplates the extending of our build
ing and loan association law' to admit
of making of long-time loans on good
farm lands under the amortization plan.
The states, and not congress, should de
vise a rural credit system. The danger
and folly of taxing the property of citl
sens In the town, state and nation by sale
of bond to raise funds to lend Torn, Dick
anj Harry should be apparent The field
of rural credits should be properly occu-.
pled by private corporations operating
under state laws, for the important rea
son that a federal statute must of neces
sity bo too broad to meet the localized
conditions of the several states."
The speaker referred to the report of
the state tax commission, regarding It as
highly Important. His remarks on blue
sky promoters were well received. "Men
in less favored etatea find Nebraska a
field for profitable exploitation. The Los
Angeles Investment company was a colos
sal swindle. Several hundred Nebraskans
are among the victims. Some of them
paid as high as fl.45 per share for Its
stock, which last July was quoted at 32
cents. The three principal officers are
under penitentiary sentences, but that
does not mean that money taken prin
cipally from widows and those inexperi
enced In business on false pretense, will
be returned. Their gamo was to offer
cheap dwelling houses to Investor They
paid 28 per cent annual dividends, which
were never earned, but were paid out of
money recehed on new stock sales to
their dupes. Some Investigation and pub
licity by our association would result in
much protection to our bank patrons."
Endorses Reserve Act.
President McNIsh unqualifiedly en
dorsed the Federal Reserve act, saying,
"Practical operation will dictate changes
and its admlnstratlon will be attended
with diminishing friction." In the year
1914 there were more business failures
than during any previous year, which
certainly gave the new banking system
a fair test, as did the troubles following
the outbreak of war In Europe. He
pointed out the important fact that "un

SERB ARCHIVES AT KRALJEVO
SALONIKI, Oct. 26. (Via Paris,
Oct. 27.) The Bulgarians have been
completely driven out of Serb'la on a
line extending from the French sec
tor to Krludalo and Lukedovan. They
have been pushed back also from
Veles to the outskirts of Istlp, prob
ably rendering their Kumanovo
Vranya line untenable, owing to the
menace of a Serbian attack on both
sides. ''
Offensive operations against Nlsh have
not . proceeded beyond Pirot. The Aus-tro-Germana
are making the most violent
efforts, but their progress is extremely
slow. The city of Nlsh is tranquil and
seems to be In no Immediate danger.
The government archives and the for
eign legations have been moved only as
far as Kraljevo, where they are await

The dispatch describes ' the Austrian
occupation of Tekla, which' was ac
complished after a bombardment lasting
many hours, Austrian troops crossing
the Panube in eighty-six boats. The

Warships Which
Attacked New York
Theoretically Sunk
NEW YORK, Oct. ST7. A fleet of "hos
tile" warships which attempted to invade'
New York harbor last night In a war!
game had been theoretically sunk today1
off the entrance to the harbor. A de-1
fending fleet, which had been on watch!
for the Invaders, however, was first de
stroyed before they discovered that the
enemy was upon them.
Then the guns of Forts Hancock, Ham
ilton and Wadsworth opened on the In
vading fleet with blank shots and
searchlights played upon the vessels,
which were trying to enter the harbor
under the cover of darkness. .
Several of the enemy warships were
sent to the bottom theoretically and the '
others withdrew.
Hans Schmidt Asks
for Another Trial
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 27.-Brlefs urging
and opposing a new trial for Hans
Schmidt, convicted for the slaying of
Anna Aumuller In New York In 1911, and
now under sentence of death, were filed
with the court of appeals today to support
oral arguments by attorneys representing
Schmidt and the state.
In asking a new trial Alphonse Koelble,
attorney for Schmidt, asaed that he be
given an opportunity to present evidence
that the Aumuller girl met death as a
result of hemorrhage following an opera
tion. He averred that the conviction whs
obtained largely upon Schmidt's confes
sion, since repudiated, that be cut her
throat with a rasor, "in obedience to an '
Internal voice which said she should be
a sacrifice of love and atonement. !
Robert C. Taylor, assistant district at
torney, for the state, opposed the motion.
Schmidt was tried twice, the first Jury
disagreeing, in both cases his defense was .

DEFENDANTS TO TAKE APPEAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 27.
Ralph K. Blair r.ni Thomas Addis
were found guilty today of conspir
ing to hire and retain men In the
United States for British military
service. The verdict was returned
under instructions from Judge Mau
rice T. Dooling, in the United States
district court. C. E. Lawrence was
found not guilty. The- cases against
Lieutenant Kenneth Croft of the
British army and Harry O. Lane
were not considered, one way or the
other. The state wanted them for
witnesses.
The Blalr-Murdock company also
was found not guilty. Stipulations
were filed by prosecution and de
fense that an instructed verdict
should be given. A jury was Impan
elled as a matter of legal procedure.
Counsel for the defense stated an ap
peal would be taken. .
It was reported that the British con
sulate, which was represented In court
during the trial, urged such a course.
Judge Dooling's finding conformed
with the action of John W. Preston, who
did not press the cases against Croft and
Lane, whom, he said, he considered
merely as "tools." Mr. Preston stated
In court that he considered Dr. Addis
and Blair "th ringleaders."
. The penalty for the offense Is Imprison
ment for not more than two years or a
fine of hot more than 110,000, or both.

Star Abolish Law.
WASHINGTON, Oct. J7.-Convlctlons
under the old statute making it a crime
of. conspiracy to employ men on Ameri
can soli for military service abroad is
regarded by State department officials as
likely to bring to an Issue the question
ow whether the United States shall, per
mit to remain in effect a law based
upon a policy which might operate to
Its own serious disadvantage In time of
war. The statute under which BlaU
and Addis were convicted at San Fran
cisco does not affect the activities of
representatives of a foreign power, who
arrange for the return of reservists, but
imposes heavy penalties upon the agents
of a nation undertaking to send back
home for ' service citlsens or subjects
who not on military rolls.
Embassy officials have conferred with
the Department of Justice on the subject
and it la understood that at the em
bassy instances the cases will be op-
pealed and that if the result is then I n
changed, the matter will be taken up
diplomatically between Great Britain and
the United States.

DEHLIN, Oct. J7. (Via London.)
Direct connection between the
Austro-German forces in Serbia and
the Bulgarian army of General
Doyadjlerf has been established on
the Danube river, to the east of Dria
Palanka, according to the official an
nouncement given out today by tho
German army headquarters staff.
LONDON. Oct. 27. The despr.ato
plight of the Serbians, which has
been described ever since the begin
ning of the Austro-German and Bul
garian invasions as "an affair of na
tional life and death," is no longer a
rhetorical phrase, but the literal
truth. London's optimism regarding
the outcome of the Balkan conflict,
which had been colored by reports of
the determined Serbian resistance
and the difficulties which the invad
ers are meeting, has now yielded to
the conviction that It will take some
thing In the nature of a miracle to
avert a disaster for Serbia.

cation that the assistance the allies have
been able to offer Perhla la not sufficient

Austro-Qerman and Bulgarian forces
are now within twenty miles of eaoh

grade Invading armies are advancing
along a hundred-mile front. twenty-flv
to forty miles south xtt ' the Danube.
Analysis of the situation In regard to the
Delgrade-NIh-8alnnlkl railroad shows
'that the Oermans command the first
fifty miles from Belgrade, the Serbians
' the next ISO, the Bulgarians the nest 100,
and the French the last fifty miles to the
Greek frontier, '
No details hsvs been received here con
cerning the reported recapture by the
Serbians of Veles.
Whether free communication between
Hungary and Bulgaria by way of the
Danube has yet been established la
doubtful, fcut the proximity of the forces
of the two countries makes such com
munication at least Imminent
Serbian Resistance Stubborn.
All dispatches continue to describe the
Intensely stubborn resistance of the Ser
bians. According to accounts which hav8
reached here concerning the capture of
t'skup, the Serbians defended every foot
of ground furiously and no quarter was
given on either sido. Although the Bul
garian forces are said to have out num
bered the Serbians ten to one, they mads
only too prisoners. All the others fought
to the death.
