THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1919. GALLS ATTACK ON FEDERAL LOAN BANKS UNFAIR D. P. Hogan, President of the Omaha Institution, Denies Accusations Made by Rep resentative McFadden. . Characterizing: them as "unfair attacks by interests that have been profiting by the old method of han dling farm loans,", D. P. Hogan, president of the Federal Land bank ot Omaha, denied the accusations against the federal land banks made by Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania in extended remarks printed in the Congressional Record. "Mr. McFadden has for the last six months been the mouthpiece of the American Farm Mortgage Bankers' association and has at va rious times placed in The Congres sional Record articles attacking our system," stated President' Hogan. "We have endeavored to confine our loans to actual farmers oper ating and owning farms and do not wish to violate the terms of the act whereby speculators and those owning rented land receive the benefits of the act. "Loans are made at actual cost and the profits go back to the bor rowers. Any attack upon the sys tem is an attack upon the farmer who produces the greater part of the wealth of the land. Congress should repel those attacks and should amend the law. It also should increase the maximum loan from $10,000 to $25,000, as $10,000 does not supply the needs of the average borrower at the present price of land, and, in fact, every thing which must be bought for improvement of the farm."

"Often my friends speak of how well I am looking these days and ! when I tell them I have been tak ing Tanlac they seem to under stand all the Yest," said Mrs. Albert Downs, who address is R. F.D., Route No. 2, Argentine, Kansas, while in the Owl Drug Store in Kansas City, Mo., recently. "I suffered for twenty long years with stomach trouble tind ner vous indigestion," continued Mrs. Downs. , "At times it just seemed tike everything I would eat would sour in my stomach and form gas and I would be in such misery that I could hardly stand it. I was - bothered with constipation, too, and was constantly taking something to relieve that trouble and sometimes I would have awful dizzy spells and feel light headed and I was that nervous I couldn't sleep well at all and sometimes I would just roll and toss nearly all night long and would (ret up in the morning feeling per fectly miserable from loss of sleep and rest. I also suffered like I be lieve thousands of other women do when they go through that period in life that taxes a woman's strength almost beyond endurance. I took treatments and different kinds of medicine, but nothing I trifd helped me and I continued to suffer as only one who has gone through it can realize. "Then I happened to read where a woman living right here in Argen tine had gotten relief by taking Tanlac, so, going on the idea that what's good for one 1s good for another, I concluded to give it a , trial myself, and I had only taken one bottle of it when I could notice that it was helping me. My anpetite got better and the gas didn't form in my stomach like it used to, so I kept right on taking Tanlac until I was so much improved that I found I could eat just anything I wanted and not be troubled a particle with ; my ' stomach afterwards. I don't have any trouble sleeping now, either, and just go the whole night through without waking up once . have gained in weight, too, and do t- all my housework with ease now and am justieeiing in uen-er neaun C than I have in years. I can cer tainly speak a good word for Tan- lao. because it surely has helped me."

Were the clothes in which the body was found the clothes that Mr.' Mander son would naturally have worn that day?" Martin rubbed his chin. "You remind me how surprised I was when I first set eyes on the body, sir. At first I couldn't make out what was unusual about the clothes, and then I saw what it was. The collar was a shape of collar Mr. Manderson never wore except with evening dress. Then I found that he had put on all the same things that he had worn the night before large-fronted shirt and all except just the coat and waistcoat and trousers, and the brown shoes and blue tie. As for the suit, it was one of half a dozen he might have worn. But for him to have simply put on all the rest just because they were there instead of getting out the kind of shirt and things he al ways wore by day well, sir, it was unprecedented. It shows, like some other things, what a hurry he must have been in when getting up." "Of course," said Trent. "Well, I think that's all I wanted to know. You have put everything with ad mirable clearness, Martin. If we want to ask any more questions later on, I suppose you will be somewhere about." "I shall be at your disposal, sir." Martin bowed and went out quietly. Trent flung himself into .the arm chair and exhaled a long breath. "Martin is a great creature," he said. "He is far, far better than a play. There is none like him, none nor will be when our 'summers have deceased. Straight, too: not an atom of harm in dear old Mar tin. Do you know, Murch, you are wrong in suspecting that man." "I never said a word about sus pecting him." The inspector was taken aback. "You know, Mr. Trent, he would never have told his story like that if he thoght I suspected him." "I dare say he doesn't think so. He is a wonderful creature, a great artist; but in spite of that he is not at all a sensitive type. It has never occurred to his mind that you, Murch, could suspect him, Martin, the complete, the accomplished. But I know it. You must under stand, inspector, that I have made a special study of the psychology of officers of the law. It is grossly neglected branch of knowledge. They are far more interesting than crimminals, and not nearly so easy. All the time I was questioning him I saw handcuffs in your eye. Your lips were mutely framing the syl lables of those tremendous words: 'It is my duty to tell you that any thing you now say will be taken down and used in evidence against you.' Your manner would have de ceived most men, but it could not deceive me." Mr. Murch laughed- heartily. Trents nonsense never made any sort of impression on his mind, but he took it as a mark of esteem, which indeed it was; so it never failed to please him. "Well, Mr. Trent," he said, "you're perfectly Tight. There's no point in denying it. I have got my eye on him. Not that there's anything definite; but you know, as well as I do, how often servants are mixed up in affairs of this kind, and this man is such a very quiet customer. You remember the case of Lord Wil liam Russell's valet, who went in as usuaj in the morning to draw up the blinds in his master's bedroom, as quiet and starchy as you please, a few hours after he had murdered him in his bed. I've talked to all the women of the house, and I don't believe there's a morsel of harm in one of them. But Martin's not so asy set aside. I don't like his manner; I beleive he's hiding something. If so, I shall find it out." "Cease 1" said Trent. "Drain not to its dregs the urn of bitter prophecy. Let us get back to facts.

I anything at all to bring against Martin's story as he has told it to us: "Nothing whatever at present. As for his suggestion that Mander son came iny way of the window after leaving Marlowe and the car, that's right enough, I should sa. I questioned the servant who swept the room next morning, and she tells me there Were gravelly marks near the window, on this plain drug get that -goes round the carpet. And there's a footprint in this soft new gravel just outside." The inspector took a folding rule from his pocket and with it pointed out the races. "One of the patent shoes Mander son was wearing that night exactly fits that print you'll find them," he added, "on the top shelf in the bedroom, near the window-end, the only patents in the row. The girl who polished them in the morning picked them out for me." Trent bent down and studied the faint marks keenly. "Good!" he said. "You have covered a lot of ground, Munch, I must say. That was excellent about the whisky you made your point finely. I felt inclined to shout 'Encore 1' It's a thing that I shall have to think over." "I thought you might have fitted it in already," said Mr. Murch. "Come, Mr. Trent, we're only at the beginning of our inquiries, but what do you say to this for a preliminary theory? There's a plan of burglary say a couple of men in it and Martin squared. They know where the plate is, and all about the handy little bits of stuff in the drawing room and elsewhere. They watch the house; see Manderson pff to bed; Martin comes to shut the win dow, and leaves it ajar accidental ly on purpose. They wait till Mar tin goes to bed at 12:30; then they just walk into the library, and be gin to sample the whisky first thing. Now suppose Manderson isn't asleep, and suppose they make a noise opening the window, or how ever it might be. He hears it; thinks of burglars; gets up "very quietly to see if anything's wrong; creeps down on them, perhaps, just as they're getting ready for work. They cut and run; he chases them down to the shed, and'collars one; there's a fight; one of them loses his temper and his head, and makes a swinging job of it. Now, Mr. Trent, pick that to pieces." "Very well," said Trent. "Just to oblige you, Murch especially as I know you don't believe a word of it. First: no traces of any kind left by your burglars, and the window found fastened in the morning ac cording to Martin. Not much force in that, I allow. Next: nobobdy in the house hears anything of this stampede through the ' library, nor hears any shout from Manderson either inside , the house or outside. Next: Manderson goes down with out a word to anybody, though Bunner and Martin are both at hand. Next: did you ever hear in your long experience of a house holder getting up in the night to pounce on burglars, who dressed himself fully, with underclothing. shirt, collar and tie, trousers, waist coat and coat, socks and hard leather shoes; and who gave the finishing touches to a somewhat dandified toilet by doing his hair and putting on his watch and chain? Personally, I call that over dressing the part. The only decora tive detail he seems to have forgot ten is his teeth." The inspector leaned forward thinking, his large hands clasped before him. "No." he said at last. "Of course there's no help in that theory. I rather expect we have some way to go before we find out why a man gets up before the ser vants are awake, dresses himself fully, and is murdered within sight ot his house early enough to be cold and stiff by ten in the morn mg. Trent shook his head. "We can't build anything on that last consid eration. I've gone into the subject with people who know. I shouldn't wonder " he added, "if the tradition al notions about loss of temperature and rigor after death had occasion alyy brought an Innocent man to the gallows, or near it. Dr. Stock- has them all, I feel sure: most gen eral practitioners of the older gen eration have. That Dr. Stock will make an ass of himself at the in quest is almost as certain as that tomorrows sun will rise. I've seen him. He will say the body must have been dead .about so long, be cause of the degree of coldness and rigor mortis. I can see him nosing it all out in some text-book that was out of date when he was student. Listen, Murch. and I will tell you some facts which will be a great hindrance to you in your pro lessionai career, mere are many things that may hasten or retard the cooling of the body. This one was lying in the long dewy grass on the shady side of the shed. As for rigidity, if Manderson died in struggle, or laboring under sudden emotion, his corpse might stiffen practicaly instantaneously: there are dozens of cases noted, particularly in cases of injury to the skull, like this one. On the other hand, the stiffening might not have begun'un til eight or 10 hours after death. You can't hang anybody on rigor mortis nowadays, inspector, much as you may resent the limitation Not what we can say is this. If he had been shot after the hour at which the world begins to get up and go about its business, it would have been heard and very likely seen, too. In fact, we must rea son to begin with, at anV rate on the assumption that he wasn't shot at a time when people might be awake it isn t done in these parts. Put that time at 6:30 a. m. Man derson went up to bed at 11 p. m. and Martin sat up till 12:30. As suming that he went to sleep at once on turning in, that leaves us something like six hours for the crime to be committed in; and that is a long time. But whenever it took place, I wish you would sug gest a reason why Manderson, who was a fairly late riser, was up and dressed at or before 6:30; and why neither Martin, who sleeps lightly, nor Bunner, nor bis wife heard him moving about, or letting himself out of the house. He must have been cartful. He must have crept about like a cat. . .. A Do you feel Omahan Elected Head Of National Talking Machine Association George E. Mickel. George E.

Mr. Mickel served the association in the same capacity several years ago. as I do, Murch, about all this: that is very, eery strange and baffling?" lhats phow it looks, agreed the inspector. And now, said Trent, rising to his feet, "I'll leave you to your meditations, and take a look at the bedrooms. Perhaps the explanation of, all this will suddenly burst upon yqu while I am poking about up there. But," concluded Trent in a voice of sudden exasplration, turn- ng round in the doorway, if you can tell me at any time how under the sun a man who put on all those clothes could forget to put in his teeth, you may kick me from here to the nearest lunatic asylum, and hand me over as an incipient dement."

Lillian's assurance that we were going to her home before meet ing the woman, the sight of whom I had so dreaded, gave me back my poise, sadly shaken by my fevered imagination during my journey to the city. I sank back in the cornor of the taxicab with very much the feeling of a condemned prisoner granted a reprieve at the eleventh hour. ' My friend made no further com ment upon my attitude toward the business in hand, but with her usual acumen went on talking briskly about everything and nothing dur ing the ride home, indeed, until we were safely within her wonderful brown-toned library. There I, shamed out my cowardice, inter rupted her. "I am perfectly all right now," I said, "ready to face anything. Please tell me all you've been doing." i "I havn't been doing very much," she replied, but what some faithful old handymen of mine have been accomplishing is a plenty and then some. They've not only located the dame some little job in itself, lady, when you consider the data we, had to go on " "I know ,1 prinpaiobtat n thett "I know," I acknowledged with emphasis, as Lillian paused for an instant. "But they've secured her general record for the last twenty years," Lillian went on, "and it's sure one pippin. If anybody's hunting for a competent lady crook, with the cleverness of her Satanic master oozing from every pore, I'd advise that party to camp on her stair case.

You'll Do." , Lillian set her teeth together with a vindictive little click that told me the baffling of the evil woman who had ruined my mother's life and was now causing my father and me so much anxitey, was the source of special gratification to her. I, knowing that her interest was soely on my account, felt a rush of loving gratitude to this friend who never failed me. "I wish I could ever do anything for you Lillian," I said wistfully. "Do you want me throw some thing at your head?" she retorted. "I've a notion to try it anyway" meditatively "it might knock a little sense into ' you. Do some thing for me, forsooth! If you don't know you ought to, that you are the only safety valve I have, either for joy or for sorrow. Just let me tell you something; you're the only per son who has ever seen me cry. That means something to me, I can tell you. No, no, my dear, the debt's on my side, not yours.

Lilllian threw back her head and laughed the first real merriment I heard from her lips in many weary wccWs "You'll do." she said. I know you'd conquer those nerves of yours. And now come down to my bedroom and prink up a bit. We're going to have a guest for dinner tonight we don't have to start for my lady's abode before 9 o'clock, so we will have time to enjoy one of Betty's dinners I think she is fix ing up something especial for your health." "But I'm not fit to see guests, Lillian," I faltered. This is the V lighted freedom's in having helped same rig I have been teaching in al! day." "Your suit's all right." Lillian me over critically. I'll lend you some fresh underfrillies and when I knew the guest was coming I took the liberty of buying a new blouse for you. If you don t like it, I will take it back and give it to some one else. But won't hurt you to wear it one evening.' An Unamed Guest. We had reached her bedroom as she finished, and she indicated an exquisite embroidered crepe blouse lying unon the bed. It was of the shade of blue most becoming to me, and harmonized with the color of my suit. It was a royal gift, and from any one else I could not have accepted it. But I said to myself whimsically, that no one else except Lillian would have offered it, and I knew her generous heart would be wounded if I did not take it. "You'll take it back only over my dead body,'.' I said, hugging her warmly. "It's simply perfect! But who is' the guest in whose honor it is to be worn. Surely Mr. Savarin isn't well enough" Her face shadowed quickly.
