: Following the statement Issued
several days ago by Attorney John

preme court decision did not relate
to the constitutional right of . in
mates of .the, Women's Detention
home to resist forcible, examination
and treatment for sexual ( diseases,
Police Commissioner Ringer's ordi
nance relating to the management
of the home yesterday morning was
postponed by the city council for
further consideration next Monday
in committee.
Attorney Macfarland declared
that he had agreed with City At

facts on which the appeal was to be
taken. It was understood, he de
clared, that the question of the in

had been agreed upon. - f

Representative Green of Iowa
Proposes Increasing Duty
on Product Coming
From Abroad.
Washington, May 22. (Special
Telegram.) Representative Green
of Ipwa, one of the ways and means
committee, said after a meeting of
the republican members this morn
ing, that it had been determined to
go ahead at once on a bill repeal
ing the luxury tax. This will be
followed by a bill to give relief to
the domestic potash producers of
the United States, which will un
doubtedly be joyful news to the pot
ash interests of Nebraska. The
committee voted to have such a bill
prepared.
There was some discussion
among the republican members' of
the committee as to the expedi
ency of including in the measure a
license provision, such as was pro
posed by the war industries board
during the closing days of the war,
as a sure protection against the im
portation of the German product,
but the committee took no action
on this feature of the bill, leaving
that matter open for further con
sideration. Mr. Green saicLthat while he was
strongly in favor of increasing the
duty on potash and making it high
enough to give the potash produc
ers of the United States a chance to
meet foreign competition, he was
opposed to the license system as
urged by some of the members.
As soon as the repeal of the lux
uary tax is out of the way and cer
tain other corrective measures are
reported to the house, the ways and
means committee will begin the
preparation of a tariff bill along re
publican lines and will put it up to
the president to veto or sign the
same.''
When the committee begins the
consideration of potash legislation
Mr. Green said the potash producers
would be accorded ample opportuni
ty, to be heard on all phases of the
question. .
'Here Comes the Tramp'
Was Greeting . Husband
Says He Got From Wife
"Here comes the tramp" is the
greeting which Jacob Cohen received
from his wife, Lena Cohen, when
he returned- from work, he allege;
in a petition for -divorce filed yes
terday in district court.
They were married 32 years ago
in New York City and came to Oma
ha IS years ago. They have four
children, Samuel, David. Herman
and Meyer, ranging in age from 30
to 14 years.
Up until 1906, Mr. Cohen says,
they lived happily together, but
about that time, he charges, she
began to show desire to "be rid
of him. She told him he "could go,"
and opened the door for him, he
says. . - '

mittee to investigate street railway

Charles E. Elmquist, . president of

peditionary forces. ,
issue In the . supreme court. .He
dodged it."
. "As far as this question is -concerned,
the matter stands just where
it did before the decision was hand
ed down. The ruling, so far as I
understand it, is simply a recogni
tion of the city ordinance granting
authority to maintain a segregated
place for the treatment of women
buffering with sexual diseases.' The
individual's right to resist treatment
is not involved in the decision." ,
' Questioned Right of City.
'. Commissioner Zimman questioned
the right of the city to force persons
to submit to blood extraction for the
Wasserman test.
'"I most emphatically shalL vote
against the ordinance," heatedly de
clared Commissioner Butler. "There
is every reason in the world why I
shall .vote against the measure. I
shall make myself clear at the coun
cil meeting Monday morning."
Attorneys have, made the point
that the ordinance is in conflict with
the statutes. "Mr. Ringer had every
opportunity-in the world to settle
this question," declared Attorney
Macfarland. "He deliberately re
fused to. have the supreme court act
in the matter, and now he attempts
to override the statutes with an ordi
nance which cannot be enforced.
"It is absurd."
DENIES CHARGES
OF POLITICS IN
FARM LOAN BANK
Treasurer of Omaha Federal
Land Bank Attacks State
ment of Beatrice Loan
Association Man.
That the Federal Land bank "was
largely nothing more than an or
ganization to provide positions for
a lot of men who could not have
otherwise succeeded," or that it was
any the less inefficient because of its
"political founding" was denied yes
terday morning by E. D. Morcom,
treasurer of the Omaha Federal
Land bank. ,
The attack mentioned was made
by A. H. Kidd of-Beatrice, presi
dent of the Loan and Savings asso
ciation of that city, at the 28th an
nual convention of Nebraska Loan
and Savings associations at the
Hotel Fontenelle Wednesday.
Official Denial to Be Made.
President D. P. Hogan of the Fed
eral Land bank was out of he city.
Mr. Morcom made the statement in
his absence, stating that he would
issue a special report denying, with
facts, all of the charges made.
"The statement of A. H. Kidd of
Beatrice," he said, "is simply part
and parcel of the country-wide pro
paganda now being spread in the
interests of the American Mortgage
Bankers' association.
"The Federal Land bank of the
United( States has arrived at that
stage of development where if is
paying 6 per cent in dividends to
its stockholders. It comes with
poor grace from a loan association
man to criticise so wonderful and so
successful a system.
"The country is strewn with
skeletons of failed associations."
At the loan convention Wednes
day during the closing hours E. L.
Kessler of Charlotte, N. C, presi-,
dent of the United States League of
Loan and Building associations, ad
vocated and presented the plan for
the proposed "federal home loan
bank," patterned after the Federal
Land bank.

An Unusual Investment
Opportunity
If you have money to invest, or if your present investments
are of the low dividend paying type, we believe it will pay you to
get in touch with us. We are in a position at this time to offer
for public subscription a limited amount of the guaranteed, invest
ment se.urities of a going industrial concern whose business in
tegrity and managerial personnel are above reproach.
These securities not only guarantee 7 and participate in the
excess profits of the concern, but also give promise of being very
. shortly worth much more than the present market price. The in-,
, vestment is not in any way7 speculative, as the concern is well past
the initial promotion stage. The factory is built and has been in ac
tive and increasing production for some time. The factory product
is one in national demand arid is being nationally advertised.
The .books of the concern 'have just been audited by a reput
able firm of public accountants and their report is" more than
, satisfactory.
If yon are interested, you are at liberty to advise us, without
feeling that you are committing yourself in any way. We will
see that you are supplied with all the facts, without any further
annoyance or solicitation. - j

' York Man.
Denver, May 22. "Day-labor
wages for Baptist clergymen is a
blot on-the' denomination; less than
half the nation's Baptist ministers
receive $1,500 a year," is the declar
ation made to the Northern Baptist
convention today by Dr. E. T. Tom
linson of New York, in presenting
the report of the ministers, and mis
sionaries' board. '
This statement and plans of
American Baptists for Americaniza
tion of aliens in the large cities
were the outstanding subjects of to
day's session of the convention.
Figures presented by Dr. Tomlin
son showed that Arizona ranks
highest in the salaries paid its cler
gymen, 58 per cent of its Baptist
ministers receiving $1,500 a year or
more. Massachusetts, , Montana,
Nevada and South Dakota are next
in order. Maine is at the bottom of
the list, with 10 per cent receiving
the above salary, and New York has
only 11 per cent, while Vermont has
A plea for a hlirher standard for
qualification of clergymen was made'
by Vr. lomhnson, who urged that
service rather, than ordination
should be the basis for granting
pensions to disabled or superannu

Listen
Mr. Pure-Bred Hog Says to
"IAm
I Can Make You Rich.
The Pure-Bred hog has been doing that for
thousands. He has made more and larger new
fortunes than were ever made before. "Hogs are
the mortgage lifters of the farm," says Ogden
Armour.
The Pure-Bred is the highest type of hog. He
works twice as fast as the scrub hog, eats half as
much to make a pound- of weight, and breeds
twice as large litters. He is the most efficient of
all domestic animals. Comparatively he is a new
discovery. Less than two per cent of American
, hogs are pure-breds. In time all hogs will be
pure-breds. Agricultural economics make that
certain.
Almost all farmers now realize it. Just now
they are falling over themselves to buy Pure
Breds. The competition is so great, the supply so
limited, that the price of a quality hog has been
practically standardized at a figure from twenty
to one hundred times more than cost. Think of
, that. A mighty demand, a limited supply, and a
profit standard about 2,000. These are almost
unbelievable facts, but authentic recorded sales in
thousands of instances all over the United States ;
prove it v
Omaha lies in the center of the greatest Hog producing section of the
world. The greatest number of pure-breds are required in its neighborhood.
It is now fast becoming the greatest hog market on earth. Because of the
need to get the utmost income from the valuable-land, hogs will be most
widely raised. There is, therefore, the greatest market to be found every
where for the pure-bred hog.
The Skinner Pure-Bred Hog Ranch
has been established at Ralston, the gateway to
Omaha, to share in the wonderful future of the
pure-bred hog. The ranch will produce hogs of
the finest quality, over $150,000 is to belnvested
in four, foundation herds of thefinest breeding
to be procured. These hogs will be famous and
will give their blood, it is hoped, to the improve
vment of countless herds in the Corn Belt.
The ranch is now being equipped for the ac
commodation of the high grade foundation stock,
, to be cared for in the- most scientific manner.
There is a large elevator with the property,
which will store 20,000 bushels of feed. The lo
cation is reached by paved road and street car
line from Omaha and it has splendid market ad-
v vantages. All departments of the ranch will be
under the direction of trained experts.
