COUNCIL URGES
Defense Body Calls Douglas
County Men to Account for
Protesting Their Assessments.
The Douglas County Council of
Defense held a meetine Thursday
the first one it has been necessary to
call jn connection with the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign.
Seven farmers from Douglas
county had been cited and all ap
peared. They protested against the
. assessments against them. Before
v ; leaving the mcitin:? each farmer
. sigried for the amount the commit-
tee had indicated as his fair share,
Shown How to Get Money.
I One man owned a $50,000 farm
which had been willed to him with
: the understanding it could never be
mortgaged. He wanted to know
' how he could borrow $2,000 to pay
for the bonds the committee wanted
him to purchase. He was instructed
in the method of obtaining the
money. It was explained to him
mat tie might have to pay per
, cent for his money and only get
4J4 per cent from Uncle Sam, but
the difference would be only $55
year. He was made to see that $55
1 a year was mighty cheap insurance
against keeping the Huns' hands off
his farm,
Another man bewailed the fact
that he had arranged to borrow
$17,000 to buy a farm and could not
borrow any more money to buy
Liberty bonds. He was shown that
the financial needs of the United
' States came ahead of his personal
needs, and that his first duty was to
help his government buy shells be
fore he bought any more farms.
Returns with Apology.
Another thought his quota was
' too high. It was shown to him that
, the people of the United States as a
v whole have invested 7 per cent of
their net wealth in Liberty bonds
and he was being asked to invest
only 4 per cent.
One farmer of German name said
, he would hang first before he would
borrow money to buy bonds, and he
left the building in "high dudgeon.
The committee was preparing a
statement of his case for the State
Council of Defense when he re-
turned and apologized for his re
, marks and made the desired sub
scription. Result Satisfactory.
"I am very much pleased with re
' jults in the country districts," an
nounced J. H. Mithen, chairman for
i Douglas county outside of Omaha.
"I believe our farmers are going to
. - be the ones that help put Douglas
county across. I look for them to
furnish the last million which will
be necessary to put us over the $11,-
000,000 mark."

SAYSATTORNEY
Threatens Proceeding Against
Police Chief and County At
torney to Learn Where
Client Is.
Not until he had threatened to
bring criminal proceedings against ;
Chief of Police Eberstein and Coun- j
ty Attorney Magney, on the charge
of kidnaping, could he find where '
Carl Schrader, his client, was con-i
cealed, is the allegation of Julius b.
Cooley.
Schrader, who is 16 years old, and
lives in Council Bluffs, is a brake
man on the Union Pacific.
Recently a freight car of a train
on which Schrader was working was
entered between Schuyler and Fre
mont and a quantity of canned goods
thrown out on the right-of-way.
It is alleged that secret agents of
the road went to Council Bluffs and
without warrant or any other pro
cess of law seized the boy and held
him prisoner while they tried to ex
tort a confession from him.
His parents became alarmed and
tried to find the lad and the secret
service men are alleged to have spir
ited him to Omaha and incarcerated
him without warrant in the "tity jail.
While - Cooley was trying to se
cure Schrader's release on a writ of
naoeas corpus, the boy was again
spirited away and locked up in the
county jail at Fremont, it is said.
In order to learn where his client
was Cooley had to threaten action
on a charge ot kidnaping and was
told the boy was at Fremont. He
served a writ of habeas corpus on
the sheriff of Dodge county.
