MEMORIAL FOR HENRY YATES

Professional politicians and agi

tators received several lusty raps

yesterday afternoon in the address

' of President Jesse C. McNIsh of the

Nebraska Bankers' association at the

opening of the two days' session at

Hotel Fontenelle.

"We must assist," he said, "in

keeping the demagogue and the pro

fessional politician out of office.

Their attacks upon successful men

and organized business have worked

Immeasurable damage. Professional

agitators are a national liability,

rather than an asset. However, pub

lic opinion is showing tardy disap

proval of unnecessary political an

tagonism to legitimate business, and,

hence the country may get more bills

of lading and fewer bills of legisla

tion." President MoNish reviewed the business

and Industrial conditions whiuh he re

garded as favorable, and told of the good

work of the Banker association in pro

moting the farm development movement.

"The bankers have been active and lib

eral, but their best work has been done

In the exertion of personal influence upon

their patrons in advising them to co

operate with other men In the com

munity In plans for Improving and in

creasing the products of the farm. This

has engendered a spirit of co-operation

as between farmers and townspeople,

which la highly beneficial.

State It a rat Credit.

"We should have a rural credit system

applicable to American needs. One plan

contemplates the extending of our build

ing and loan association law' to admit

of making of long-time loans on good

farm lands under the amortization plan.

The states, and not congress, should de

vise a rural credit system. The danger

and folly of taxing the property of citl

sens In the town, state and nation by sale

of bond to raise funds to lend Torn, Dick

anj Harry should be apparent The field

of rural credits should be properly occu-.

pled by private corporations operating

under state laws, for the important rea

son that a federal statute must of neces

sity bo too broad to meet the localized

conditions of the several states."

The speaker referred to the report of

the state tax commission, regarding It as

highly Important. His remarks on blue

sky promoters were well received. "Men

in less favored etatea find Nebraska a

field for profitable exploitation. The Los

Angeles Investment company was a colos

sal swindle. Several hundred Nebraskans

are among the victims. Some of them

paid as high as fl.45 per share for Its

stock, which last July was quoted at 32

cents. The three principal officers are

under penitentiary sentences, but that

does not mean that money taken prin

cipally from widows and those inexperi

enced In business on false pretense, will

be returned. Their gamo was to offer

cheap dwelling houses to Investor They

paid 28 per cent annual dividends, which

were never earned, but were paid out of

money recehed on new stock sales to

their dupes. Some Investigation and pub

licity by our association would result in

much protection to our bank patrons."

Endorses Reserve Act.

President McNIsh unqualifiedly en

dorsed the Federal Reserve act, saying,

"Practical operation will dictate changes

and its admlnstratlon will be attended

with diminishing friction." In the year

1914 there were more business failures

than during any previous year, which

certainly gave the new banking system

a fair test, as did the troubles following

the outbreak of war In Europe. He

pointed out the important fact that "un

Dispatch from Saloniki Tells of

Gams of Ground by Allies in

Southeastern Serbia.

SERB ARCHIVES AT KRALJEVO

SALONIKI, Oct. 26. (Via Paris,

Oct. 27.) The Bulgarians have been

completely driven out of Serb'la on a

line extending from the French sec

tor to Krludalo and Lukedovan. They

have been pushed back also from

Veles to the outskirts of Istlp, prob

ably rendering their Kumanovo

Vranya line untenable, owing to the

menace of a Serbian attack on both

sides. ''

Offensive operations against Nlsh have

not . proceeded beyond Pirot. The Aus-tro-Germana

are making the most violent

efforts, but their progress is extremely

slow. The city of Nlsh is tranquil and

seems to be In no Immediate danger.

The government archives and the for

eign legations have been moved only as

far as Kraljevo, where they are await

The dispatch describes ' the Austrian

Warships Which

Attacked New York

Theoretically Sunk

NEW YORK, Oct. ST7. A fleet of "hos

New York harbor last night In a war!

game had been theoretically sunk today1

off the entrance to the harbor. A de-1

fending fleet, which had been on watch!

for the Invaders, however, was first de

stroyed before they discovered that the

enemy was upon them.

Then the guns of Forts Hancock, Ham

ilton and Wadsworth opened on the In

searchlights played upon the vessels,

which were trying to enter the harbor

under the cover of darkness. .

Several of the enemy warships were

sent to the bottom theoretically and the '

Hans Schmidt Asks

for Another Trial

ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 27.-Brlefs urging

and opposing a new trial for Hans

Schmidt, convicted for the slaying of

Anna Aumuller In New York In 1911, and

now under sentence of death, were filed

with the court of appeals today to support

oral arguments by attorneys representing

Schmidt and the state.

In asking a new trial Alphonse Koelble,

attorney for Schmidt, asaed that he be

given an opportunity to present evidence

that the Aumuller girl met death as a

result of hemorrhage following an opera

tion. He averred that the conviction whs

obtained largely upon Schmidt's confes

sion, since repudiated, that be cut her

throat with a rasor, "in obedience to an '

Internal voice which said she should be

a sacrifice of love and atonement. !

Robert C. Taylor, assistant district at

torney, for the state, opposed the motion.

Schmidt was tried twice, the first Jury

disagreeing, in both cases his defense was .

Insanity. '

DEFENDANTS TO TAKE APPEAL

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 27.

Ralph K. Blair r.ni Thomas Addis

were found guilty today of conspir

ing to hire and retain men In the

United States for British military

service. The verdict was returned

under instructions from Judge Mau

rice T. Dooling, in the United States

district court. C. E. Lawrence was

found not guilty. The- cases against

Lieutenant Kenneth Croft of the

British army and Harry O. Lane

were not considered, one way or the

other. The state wanted them for

witnesses.

The Blalr-Murdock company also

was found not guilty. Stipulations

were filed by prosecution and de

fense that an instructed verdict

should be given. A jury was Impan

elled as a matter of legal procedure.

Counsel for the defense stated an ap

peal would be taken. .

It was reported that the British con

sulate, which was represented In court

during the trial, urged such a course.

Judge Dooling's finding conformed

with the action of John W. Preston, who

did not press the cases against Croft and

Lane, whom, he said, he considered

merely as "tools." Mr. Preston stated

In court that he considered Dr. Addis

and Blair "th ringleaders."

. The penalty for the offense Is Imprison

ment for not more than two years or a

fine of hot more than 110,000, or both.

Star Abolish Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. J7.-Convlctlons

under the old statute making it a crime

of. conspiracy to employ men on Ameri

can soli for military service abroad is

regarded by State department officials as

likely to bring to an Issue the question

ow whether the United States shall, per

mit to remain in effect a law based

upon a policy which might operate to

Its own serious disadvantage In time of

war. The statute under which BlaU

and Addis were convicted at San Fran

cisco does not affect the activities of

representatives of a foreign power, who

arrange for the return of reservists, but

imposes heavy penalties upon the agents

of a nation undertaking to send back

home for ' service citlsens or subjects

who not on military rolls.

Embassy officials have conferred with

the Department of Justice on the subject

and it la understood that at the em

bassy instances the cases will be op-

pealed and that if the result is then I n

changed, the matter will be taken up

diplomatically between Great Britain and

the United States.

DEHLIN, Oct. J7. (Via London.)

Direct connection between the

Austro-German forces in Serbia and

the Bulgarian army of General

Doyadjlerf has been established on

the Danube river, to the east of Dria

Palanka, according to the official an

nouncement given out today by tho

German army headquarters staff.

LONDON. Oct. 27. The despr.ato

plight of the Serbians, which has

been described ever since the begin

ning of the Austro-German and Bul

garian invasions as "an affair of na

tional life and death," is no longer a

rhetorical phrase, but the literal

truth. London's optimism regarding

the outcome of the Balkan conflict,

which had been colored by reports of

the determined Serbian resistance

and the difficulties which the invad

ers are meeting, has now yielded to

the conviction that It will take some

thing In the nature of a miracle to

avert a disaster for Serbia.

Macedonian campaign In the House ot

Lordp yesterday la regarded as an Indi

cation that the assistance the allies have

been able to offer Perhla la not sufficient

Austro-Qerman and Bulgarian forces

are now within twenty miles of eaoh

grade Invading armies are advancing

along a hundred-mile front. twenty-flv

Analysis of the situation In regard to the

Delgrade-NIh-8alnnlkl railroad shows

'that the Oermans command the first

fifty miles from Belgrade, the Serbians

' the next ISO, the Bulgarians the nest 100,

and the French the last fifty miles to the

Greek frontier, '

No details hsvs been received here con

cerning the reported recapture by the

Serbians of Veles.

Whether free communication between

Hungary and Bulgaria by way of the

Serbian Resistance Stubborn.

All dispatches continue to describe the

Intensely stubborn resistance of the Ser

bians. According to accounts which hav8

reached here concerning the capture of

t'skup, the Serbians defended every foot

of ground furiously and no quarter was

given on either sido. Although the Bul

garian forces are said to have out num

bered the Serbians ten to one, they mads

only too prisoners. All the others fought

to the death.
