Rumors of Bomb Plots Have Stirred England Recently London. Sept 29. Rumors of widespread plots, which have ranged from conspiracies to as sassinate King George to blowing up public buildings, have been cur rent in London during the past few days.

Chicago Banker Will Use Armored Cars to Foil Payroll Bandits Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ilea Id Wlrr. Chicago, Sept. 29. Armored cars that saw duty in France are to be used in the streets. of Chi cago as a means of baffling the bandits who arc now getting away with heavy payrolls almost every day in the week. This was decided upon at a conference of bank ex ecutives. The fleet of armored cars that will convey the payrolls from the banks to various factories, will, consist of five units, each consist ing of an armored truck and a high-powered automobile. Two guards and a chauffeur will hold forth on the truck, with three guards and a chauffeur on the automobile. A loud gong and secret cutoff will be part of the equipment of the trucks. In the event the chauffeur is shot down by the bandits the guands will operate the cutoff, stopping the truck automatically and starting the gong. Wilson May Quit Office at Once If Harding Wins Friends of President Urge Him to Resign If xOpposi- tion Candidate Is Success' f ul In November. By rnlvlnal Serrlce. Washington. Sent. 29. The possi bility of President Wilson resigning his office immediately in the event of Senator Harding's election is being seriously considered by many of the highest administration officials and closest friends of the president here. It is learned on the highest au thority that advisers of the presi dent have conveyed to him sugges tions of the most friendly charae'er that it would be preferable to have Harding receive the presidency from the hands of Vice President Marshall than from the president himself, the strongest of these rea sons being that by this course the President would save himself from having to turn over his office to one vho is not only of the opposite po litical faith, but a bitter opponent of the president's league of nation's plan as well. Reasons Given Wilson. It is understood that a -formal brief setting forth the reasons why rresident Wilson should yield up his office at once if Harding is elect ed -was recently placed in the hands of a member of the cabinet to be given to the president. , friends ot the. D resident m devis-J ing this unprecedented plan- admit that they have been actuated entire ly By the hope .that the president may be saved some of the embar rassment inevitable with an unhap py ending of his league of nations program. They charge the league with responsibility for his shattered health. Would Blame Health. "The president would be entirely justified in thus turning over the reins of government to ice Presi dent Marshall,'' said one administ -tion leader, advised of the plan to day. J "His resignation would natur ally be accompanied with a frank statement to the public regarding his state of health." Back, of this surface determination to rescue the president from what ever mental anguish might come to him in the ceremonies of turning over the leadership of the nation to one chosen because of his opposi- tion to the Wilsonian doctrines, is said to be some concern over the president's physical ability to un dergo the ordeal..

Agitation Is Increasing By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Tribune-Omaha !e Lcaacd Wire. Washington, Sept. 29. It is now a practical certainty that there will be no reduction oi federal Jakes o" business for the calendar year of 1920, payable next year, and that no relief can be expected until after the inauguration of a new president. Any changes in the law then ef fected will apply to the calendar year 1921. Although agitation for repeal of the excess profits tax is increasing in volume, leaders of both parties agree that there is little probability of any action in this direction or in the direction of any other funda mental revision of the revenue laws at the approaching short session of congress, which meets in December. Want Protective Tariff;- Whjle the administration and a majority of the republicans are in favor of repealing the excess profits tax, the democrats and republicans are at variance on proposed substi tutes and, 'moreover, the republic ans are insistent upon revising the tariff upward for protective as well as revenue purposes it any revision is attempted. ' . For these reasons any bill em bodying . fundamental amendment which might be passed at the short session would be likely to be vetoed by President Wilson. Moreover, with the appropriation bills to be disoosed of. there will not be suf ficient time during the short session to frame and pass any far-reaching revision. Harding Promises Extra Session. Senator Harding intends, if elec ted, to convene a special session ot congress, probably in April 1921, to enact a protective tariff and revise taxes downward. This will involve consideration of repealing the ex cess profits tax and placing the revenue production on an entirely new basis. 1 If Governor Cox should be elec ted and the democrats returned to the control pf congress, revenue legislation probably would be post poned until the new body convened. In the event the democrats should carrv the presidency but lose con gress, both parties probably would rather legislate tinder Cox than under Wilson. Election of Harding and a demo cratic congress "would put a crimp trt republican plans for revision ot direct taxes downward, and the tariff upward.

Europe on Verge Of Another War, Says Hungarian Regent Horthy Declares They Will Repair Injustices and Incongruities of the Treaty. Budapest, ' Sept. 29. Admiral Nicholas HoAhy, regent of Hun gary, told the Associated Press cor respondent today that in his opin ion "Europe is on the verge of othed wars, which will not be severe, but will repair the injustice and incon gruities of the peace treaty. I am quite sure that old Hungary will j come back again," he continued. "It was formed by natural necessities, so it cannot be held apart by paper treaties." Allied' military observers here feel that war is in the air and that Hungary is likely to begin it by invading Slovikia on a pretext of saving that country from bolshevism but with the intention crushing the Czechs, which the Hungarians fe.el would be an easy task, and then attacking Rumania with the aid of the Bulgarians, who want to recover Dobrudja, and of the Serbs, who want the Banat. Has Large Stocks. War prophets here are asking what Hungary intends to do with the arms and food she is collecting. It is known that Hungary has more titan $1,000,000 worth of American canned meats, that she has received 28 tanks and a large number of tiflcs and is , manufacturing muni tions. Thee latter are ostensibly intended for the Poles. Regent Horthy, however, told the, correspondent that the Htingarian army 'does not exceed the terms of the peace treaty. (Under these terms the Hungarian army was l'mited to 35,000 men and guns not to exceed lfl centimeters.) "The alii are constantly inspect ing us to see if we are mobilizing," said the regent, "whereas they should he sending us arms to prepare for bolshevik danger; but, they do not understand so they wait until the red troops overrun us, then fling up i j , , ineir lianas in despair. Regent Is Popular. Asked whether Hungary intended to ratify the peace treaty and when, Admiral Horthy remained silent. The regent is still popular and is steering his way cautiously. "I was thrown in lb the present po litical situation against my will and politics are making my duties heavy," he said. "However, I will stick to my post." Admiral Horthy has been seeking recreation by making his residence in the royal domain at Godollo, near this city, hut he com plains that there js hardly a bed to sleep on in the vast chateau owing to the looting of it by the com munists and Rumanians, who had cut up paintings, Gobelin tapestries, .Persian carpets and the upholstery of furniture when they could not carry it away.

(Wials ike 1 . ' y Intimate Story of Teddy to Be Told Roosevelt's Own Version of Many Events of His Life to Be Published Sunday. No more interesting, versatile or unusual personality has ever occu pied a prominent place in American public life than that of the late Theodore Roosevelt. During his career Roosevelt was one of the most talked-about men in history and yet, to a very considerable de gree, his more intimate thoughts and acts never were published. A few men knew the real "T. R." One of these was John J. Leary, jr., for years a member of Colonel Roosevelt's informal "newspaper cabinet." Mr. Leaty made notes of many conversations with Colonel Roosevelt which, it was understood, should never be published until after the latter's death. ' He has now re produced these tinder the title, Talks With T. R." In these interviews Colonel Roose velt (jjbeaks frankly of politics; of religidi, of men. One of the inter esting passages is his selection of cabinet 'members, should he have been elected president in1916, a cab inet that never was. There is also the Colonel's own story of how he lost the sight of one eye, of his one interview with President Wilson, of the snub which he gave the kaiser.

Plans for a nation-wide protest against the farm credit policy of federal reserve banks as announced recently by Sec retary Houston were made today at a conference attended" by J. J. Brown, Georgia commissioner of agriculture, and R. A. Maddox, presi dent of the Georgia division of the Attierican Cotton association. Secretary Houston's statement said "that the government cannot be a party to an undertaking to hold a commodity off the market to enable the owners artificially for speculative purposes to maintain war prices or higher than war prices." This has "already hammered, down the price of cotton 150 points," Commissioner Brown asserted in a statement. "As long as the spinner is making $4 worth of cloth out of every 40 cents' worth of cotton," he added, "it 1js not worth while to talk to the cot ton growers about deflating the cot ton market. "The federal reserve act explicitly provides for facilities for the pro ducers' farm crops, the intent of this being to enable them to hold their crops for favorable markets."

The preference shown by the fed eral reserve banks to borrowers on Liberty bonds has been curbed by a new ruling of the Tenth district fed eral reserve bank, which operates in Omaha and Kansas City. Discount rates on paper secured by Liberty and Victory bonds have been raised to 6 per cent by the reserve bank. The increase amounts to one-half of 1 per cent, and effects this class of loans only. A. II. Earhart, manager of the federal institution at Omaha an nounced that Liberty bonds will be discounted 15 per cent below pai, and Victory notes 5 per cent. Thus, on a $1,000 Liberty bond, only $850 vill be loaned. Opinion among bankers on the advisability of this move is divided. It is generally agreed that the pur pose of the move is to encourage liquidation, by reducing loans and paying them off with the proceeds 6f government bonds. A vice presi dent of one bank declared this a good thing, as the financial world needs a general selling movemet and clearing up of loans. . The president of another bank questioned the policy of the discount increase because he'believes that the government should do more to pro tect the patriotic purchasers of Lib erty bonds who hav suffered by the fall in the market price. He be lieves limiting the preference shown purchasers will discourage holding of them, and tend to lower their price. Aero Club of Texas Offers International Air Trophy New York, Sept 29.
