Recent Distribution of Funds.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Stone of Mis-
souri, presented statistics of govern
ment deposits in national banks to
show that the distribution of money
during the recent currency stringency
was not equitable" as contemplated
by the law governing the treasury de-
partment. He declared that the west
and south were Disseminated against,
while New York and Boston were IA
vored. His speech was on his reso-
luton pending in the senate directing
a committee to investigate and re-
port the facts in these transactions.
Senator Teller followed with brief
comment upon the action of the secre-
tary of the treasury, declaring that
the placing of money in New York
City during the panic vas fully justi-
fed. He paid a high tribute to the
rich men who. he said, had promptly
offered practically their entire capital
in order to stem the lloe OF disaster
in that city, which threatened the en-
tire country.

BROWNSON CASE UP
NAVY DEPARTMENT DATA FOR
WARDED TO CONGRESS.
QUESTION WAS ONE OF COMMAND
Rear Admiral Contends for Line Off
GERS in Charge of Floating
Hospitals.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf has replied to the
call from Congress for information rel
alive to the assignment of staff Off
GERS 10 command of hospital ships, in
which he furnished everything in the
records of his department. The call
was p~redicated upon the Roosevelt
Brownson incident, and the secretary's
reply includes the memorandum of the
rear admiral, who recently retired with
scant ceremony from the bureau of
navigation.
Admiral Brownson holds that wheth-
err hospital ships or not, such vessels
as the Relief must accompany a fleet
to fulfill their purpose, and to do so
must be ~navigated and handled in the
same seamanlike name which is re-
quired of all vessels to assure safety
on the high seas. There is nothing in
the training OF a medical officer, the
admiral contends, which fits him for
such command. It requires just as
skillful a navigator to pilot a hospital
ship as it does to pilot a man of war
the difficulties are wholly independent
of the internal arrangements of the
vessel or the uses to which it may be
put.
Existing regulations give medical Of
fcers all necessary authority to on
troll and care for their department
aboard ship. Yet the surgeon general,
says Admiral Brownson, seems to be-
Iieve that the navigation, safe conduct
and general administration of a sea-
going vessel are secondary as regards
the responsibility of command. Tele-
graph operators or cable engineers are
not put in command of cable ships. nor
are postmasters put in command of
mail steamers.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
FoR
Real Estate agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but hat he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a. contract
that the farmer signs.
In a few days he receives a COPY Of
an ad and not ~over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
n of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

to go b~areheaded and only put on his
broad-brimmed petasus for protection

Indeed, the uncovered head was part
OF his dignity, for the slaves and work
men wore always a kind of pointed
skull cap, the PLUS, which therefore
stood for a badge of servitude. Much
the same scorn of habitually covering

In England the hood was not given up
