Addresses Washington Chapter of
Bank Clerks-BlameS Wall street.

According to Senator Jefferson Davis.
Of Arkansas, who addressed the Wash
ington Chapter OF the American Insti-
tute Of Banking. last night, the financial
crisis Of last October was a made-to-
order panic, for a purpose. and that pur-
pose is now accomplished.
Senator Davis declared at the beginning
OF his address that he is not an anarch-
list, as the New York papers have called
him. and said that, while he may be
against wealth, il is only against iIl-got-
ten wealth.

rency.
When he came to why and wherefore.
Dir. Davis said all this money was 10

ruling the government. The powers that
be, he said. have decided we must have
the &o0oo0,0o0, consequently we are going
10 have H.
Five Acres of Wall Street.
When he got down to business. how
ever. Mr.. Davis declared the panic was
the work Of about FIVE acres or Wall

country. and said that when such a con
dition is presented if is obviously danger
GUS. lie said that Mr.. Rockefeller, who
is reported TO have something like $500 e.

man.
In conclusion. Senator Davis urged the
young men Of the chapter TO study the
history Of the country. diagnose the cause
Of its ills, and said that whoever finds 4
remedy viii be indeed a true patriot.

RULERS OF THE WORLD
Will Have Their Pictures on Walls of
the Sailors Institute.

New York, June 24-The rulers of the
world including Theodore Roosevelt
will have their pictures with auto
graphs hanging on the walls of the
new 1926. 900 Sailors Institute approach
ing completion at West and Jane
streets. Some Of the pictures, all pho
tographs of large size. have arrived at
the headquarters of the American Sea-
mems Friend society The first por-
trait received was that of the pres
ident, who, when he was a boy of TO-
made his first public speech at a Ii
brary presentation to the Y. Y socie-
ty. The president put his name over a
little note of congratulation at the bot
tom of his picture.
The photographs of King Edward VII
is about the same dimensions as that
of the president, "a by IS inches. I'm
der it is his signature only. The pic
ture of Victor Emmanuel III is full
length. The emperor of Germany s
photograph is still in the possession OF
the German consul general here and
will be turned over to the society later
The king of Denmark's photograph is
in charge of the Danish consul. The
portrait of the emperor of Russia is
on it's way and photographs of eight
other monarchs are coming later.
The reason the royal folk take an in
terest in the American Seaman's
Friend society is because it has beer
helping shipwrecked and destitute SAIL
ors of all nationalities since its organ
ization so years ago. 1t expects to open
it's new building in August and dedi-
cate 1t two months later. Twenty-six
state and national organizations will

Boston, June 24.-Representative
club women of the nation, as deie-
gates to the ninth biennial convention
of the General Federation of Women's
clubs. today held the second meeting
of the convention and began in earnest
the work of it's deliberations. A light
rain was falling at times and the
dampness even invaded Symphony
hall.
The meeting was opened with Mrs.
Sarah p. Decker presiding.
The many committees OF the general
body presented their annual reports
which with the reports of the general
officers consumed most Of the time at
the forenoon session.
The great number of club women
gathered here for the convention
made 1t impossible for all to partici-
pate in the morning meeting and IN
order to accommodate those left out
a meeting had been arranged IN the
afternoon to duplicate the business
considered at the formal session. This
plan has also been adopted for the
sessions on Saturday, Monday and

BOOT GREASE $500 A POUND.
Crew OF British Vessel Wasted
$4,000 Worth of Ambergris.

San Francisco, Cal, June 24.-Greas-
ing masts, sea boots and oil skins with
ambergris, valued at approximately
$500 a pound. sailors on the British
bark Antiope wasted about 500 900
worth of the stuff unaware of its
value. II was not until today that
John Mathieson, master Of the vessel,
learned that he had let a fortune slip
through his fingers. A small part of
the grease" had been saved and this
was identified by an Oakland druggist
as ambergris.
The bark reached here from Aus
tralia few days ago. On the way up,
in latitude 20 degrees south, a large
quantity of grease was seen floating
on the surface of the ocean and a calm
prevailing, the men managed to scoop
up several bucketfuls Of the stuff. The
grease" was found excellent and it
was used for slushing down the masts,
the balance being used by the men on
their oilskins and boots. The captain
says much more of the material could
have been collected but thought the
amount picked up by the men was
enough.

twelve Die FROM HEAT.
Chicago Passes Through Another Day
of Sizzling Temperature.

Chicago, June 24.-Twelve deaths
due to heat prostration or allied
causes were recorded in Chicago yes
terday. The thermometer again
climbed to above ninety but late in
the evening a shift in the wind
brought relief and it is believed the
torrid wave has been broken in this
section. There were several queer
freaks in the weather. The business
section was visited by two showers,
neither of which penetrated to the
residence section Of the southern part
of the city. The second shower lasted
but ten minutes with rain falling only
in detached portions of the downtown
district
The rain served to cause a drop in
temperature in the business sections,
but in the outlying portions of the
city the heat continued until the
shift in the wind came later in the
day
