Omaha Librarian Is
Awarded Judgment
On Insurance Policy
Fremont, Neb, July 17. (Spe
cial.) An interesting case in the su
preme court came to an end when
Mrs. Phil A. Echols, daughter of
Superintendent of Schools A. H.
Waterhouse, this city, was awarded
the principal of a $5,000 policy taken
out by her husband just before his
death, upon which he gave a note
for the first payment. The case
was started two years ago in the
district court and the plaintiff was
upheld. TJie Mutual Life Insurance
company appealed to the supreme
court. They claimed that inasmuch
as Echols had given a note for his
hrst premium, which had not fallen
due at the time of his death, they
were excused from paying the face
value of the policy to his wife, the
beneficiary. The court decreed that
the note business would have to be
taken up with the agent who handled
the policy at that time and that
Echols was in no way responsible for
the fact that the company had not
received the cash at the time of his
death. The decision also allowed
Mrs. Echols $100 attorney fees. Mrs.
Echols was recently appointed head
of the children's department in the
Omaha public library.

' In Divorce Petition
Chlraga Tribune-Omaha Rn fard Wins
New York, July 17. Mme. Alma
Clayburgh, operatic and concert
singer, began suit on four separate
causes of action against Albert Clay
burgh, her husband. demanding
sums that aggregate $389,205.
Mme. Clayburgh alleges her hus
band libelled her in answers to both
of the suits which she brought
against him in 1920 to enforce the
terms of a separation agreement
which they entered upon on October
21, 1916, alleging inconstancy on her
part and setting forth that he had
begun suit for divorce against her
in this state, where there is but one
statutory ground for such an action,
and she asks damages in the sum of
$150,000.
In defending her good name as
to such charges, she alleges, she ex
pended $2,500 in the separation
agreement action, and $8,923 in the
divorce action. She also demands
$75,000 as the value of household
furnishings.
Harding Finds
Precedent for
Stand on Bonus
Grant .Vetoed Similar Bill in
1875 for Substantially
Same Reasons Put
Fourth by President
Chiracs Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
Washington, July 17. President
Harding has found a precedent for
his course in urging delay on en
actment of soldiers' bonus legisla
tion.
Following the shelving of the
measure yesterday in the senate
which precipitated one of the storm
iest sessions in the history of that
usually dignified body, the White
House issued a statement showing
that President Grant vetoed a sol
diers' bonus bill because it would
bave seriously embarrassed govern
ment refunding operations in prog
ress at the time.
"President Grant," says the state
ment issued at the White House, "in
the spring of 1875, vetoed a soldiers'
bonus bill, which had just been
passed by Congress. In doing so.
he presented reasons substantially
the same as those urged by Presi
dent Harding a few days ago when
he appeared in the senate."
The Grant veto follows:
"To the house, of representatives:
House bill 3341 is hereby re
turned without my approval for the
reasons, first, that it appropriates
from the treasury a large sum of
money at a time when the revenue
is insufficient for current wants and
this proposal is a further drain on
the treasury. The issue of bonds
authorized by the bill to a very large
and indefinite amount, would seri
ously embarras the refunding
operations now progressing, where
by the interest of the bonded debt
of the United States is being largely
reduced.
"Second, I do not believe that any
considerable portion of the ex
soldier, who, it is supposed, will be
beneficiaries of this appropriation
are applicants for it, but rather it
would result more in a measure for
the relief of claim agents and middle
men who would intervene to collect
or discount the bounties granted by
it. The passage of this bill at this
time is inconsistent with the meas
ures of economy now demanded by
the necessities of the country.
"Signed,
"U. S. Grant."
The measure would have given to
each soldier 5100 per year for his
service with, however, the deduc
tion of whatever bounties he re
ceived from either the federal gov
ernment or his state. Estimates of
expenditure ranged from $20,000,.
000 to $150,000,000.
Fremont Man Seeks
Lower Assessment
Fremont, Neb., July 17. (Spe
cial.) L. D. Richards, president of
the Fremont Stock Yards and Land
company, filed an appeal in the dis
trict court requesting a decision
forcing the board of supervisors to
equalize all assessments in Dodge
county. He declared that in justice
to all, assessments in towns over
61 per cent should be reduced to
correspond. There are townships as
sessed as high as 88 per cent and
none lower than 61. Fremont prop
erty valuations are assessed at 71
per cent. The appeal comes as a
result of the refusal of the Dodge
county board to take action on the
matter, saying that the work would
be too much for the office. A dele
gation of Fremonters appeared be
fore the state board of equalization
last week asking that the ruling
should be placed in effect through
out the state.
Illness of Attorney
Delays Stillman Case
Yonkers, N. Y., July 17. John F.
Brennan, counsel for Mrs. Anne U.
Stillman in the divorce action
brought by her husband, James A.
Stillman, is suffering from pneu
monia and will be confined to his
bed for more than a month, it was
said after a conference of physicians.
He is 70 years old. V
Grave fears are felt by close as
sociates of the attorney because of
his advanced years, although the
physicians' announcement said his
chances of recovery were favorable.
His illness will delay further hear
ings in the Stillman case, which was
set for July 27. It is now thought
that the case will not be resumed
before September. I

Crude Methods

proximately $20,000,000
To Government Revenue
During Past Year.
Washington, July 17. Approxi
mately $20,000,000 was added to the
revenue of the government during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, in
additional taxes, penalties and fines
resulting from the discovery of
false and fraudulent income tax re
turns, the bureau of internal revenue
announced.
Fraud upon the revenue by way
of filing false and fraudulent tax re
turns appears in many unique ways,
bureau officials assert, borne tax
payers are extremely crude in their
methods and reduce their taxes by
merely omitting large items of in
come from their returns. Thus in
one instance a prominent merchant
in one of the larger cities owned
and operated two stores. For three
years, he omitted entirely from his
returns, the income of one of two
stores.
In another instance a prominent
man received approximately one
half of his income as salary from a
corporation of which he was presi
dent and of which corporation he
owned practically all of the stock.
The corporation took his salary as a
deduction and a necessary expense,;
the man himself entirely omitted to
report this salary, never thinking that
the corporation's return would be
checked on his individual return.
During the past year many jail
sentences have been imposed, rang
ing from 60 days to one year, in ad
dition to the fines and penalties. In
dictments have been returned dur
ing the past year in practically every
section of the United States and
many of the cases are now awaiting
trial at the fall term.
Not more than 25 per cent of the
working force in any establishment
in Canada shall cftnsist of either in
experienced adults or young girls.

are the blood-filters. When they weaken and slow up, the system becomes
overloaded with uric acid and other poisons. Backache, sharp, cutting pains,
headaches, dizzy spells and distressing urinary disorders naturally follow.
Don't wait for some serious kidney ailment to set in. Help your weakened kidneys before
the trouble becomes chronic. Use Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's have brought new health to
thousands. They should help you. Ask your neighbor!
Read How These Omaha Folks Found Relief:
C. H. LUCE, retired shoemaker,
2209 South 21t St., says: "I was a
shoemaker for years and the con
stant sitting, I believe, caused my
back to become so lame I could
hardly straighten after bending over.
The secretiona would be highly col
ored and contained a brick-dust-like
sediment. I would have to get up
often during the night to pass the
secretions. A friend advised me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and about
three boxes relieved me. I have not
been bothered to speak of since."
MRS. E. E. BATES, 707 S. 17th
St., says: "I was weak in my back
from a bad condition of my kidneys.
This annoyed me a great deal and
seemed to take all the ambition from
me. Bending over would cause sharp
pains to pierce the small of my back
and kidneys. I had an awful time
with dizzy spells. I used Doan's kid
ney Pills, and they relieved my con
dition in a short time. After using
some two or three boxes my relief
was permanent."
f
W. F. TRAVIS, 1911 Davenport
St says: "The first thing that made
me think my kidneys were disordered
was their too frequent action and a
continual ache and pain in the small
of my back. If I went to pick up
anything from the floor I could not
bend, but would have to get down
on my knees. I heard so much about
Doan's Kidney Pills, I tried them. It
was only a few days before there
was a great change in my condition
and a couple of boxes gave me relief."
