EFFORTS TO BALK
FINANCES PROBE
No One Authorized to Speak
for Committee

Washington, D. c., Dec. "a gem
eral defense of a clearing house sys-
tenn of banking and decided stand
against government regulation of
clearing houses, were made today by
Waldo Newcome, manager of the
Baltimore clearing house, before the
house money trust investigating COM
mittee.
The committee took up the clear
ing house situation in Baltimore.
Representatives of two banks which
had been refused conditional mem
bership in the association appeared
Manager Newcome explained that
the banks were not admitted because
as conditional members they would
not be bound by the rules of the as
ISOLATION as to out-of-town check ex-
change charges and to other rates,
and would be in a position to combine
at an advantage with the other mem
bers of the association bound by the
rules.
In a prolonged discussion with
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
committee, Nemcome declared that
clearing houses throughout the coun-
try were beneficial institutions and
that any attempts at government reg
ulation hamper their efforts. Each
senator or representative would be
called upon to file a statement show
ing the pecuniary interest of himself
or family in any banking. loaning or
brokerage business, under a resolu-
ton introduced today by Represen-
tative Lindburgh, of Minnesota.
The resolution says the, senate
committee on finance and the house
committee on banking and currency
have memberships mostly made up
of bankers and bankers lawyers and
controlled by those directly, per-
sonally and financially interested In
that class of legislation, and TO a
greater or less extent many other
senators and representative are sim
ilarIy interested.

YUAN IS INAUGURATED
AS Provisional President of the Re-
public of China.

Picking, March 11.-Yuan Shi Kali
formally was inaugurated provisional
president of the republic of China in
the presence of great gathering or
delegates provincial ENJOYS. military
and naval officers and other promi-
rent personages in the new foreign
office Sunday. Many foreigners at
tended the ceremony, but the legations
were not represented.
Yuan Shi Kai, who was in military
uniform, read a declaration promis-
ing faithfully to develop the repub-
lie, observe the constitutional laws
and retire when the national assem-
bly, appointed a permanent president
The ceremony was solemn-almost
pathetic-and typical of China's ira
dition.
Most of those attending were at
tired either in uniforms or European
dress. The only touch of orientalism
was the presentation Of the scarfs to
Yuan by two yellow robed llamas.
Marking, March 10.-Yuan Shi Kaf
privately took the oath of office Fri
day, after which the assembly notified
him of it's acceptance of Tang Shao
vi as premier. DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the
ex-president, appears to have wearied
of the strain during the last two
months. He says that when the cab
met is appointed he will retire to
his old home at Kwang Tung to rest.

BIG FORECLOSURE SUIT
Oil Company at BartlettsvilIe Defend.
ant In $4,000, 900 Case.

Muskogee, March 1.-THE Bankers
Trust company of New York has en-
tered a mortgage foreclosure suit, in
volving $6,000,0OO against the Central
Fuel and Oil company of Bartletts-
vile. The New York bank is trustee
for the bondholders of the Bartlesville
corporation. Several years ago the
company f1oated 100000 in bonds
after it entered into a 10 year con-
tract with the Texas company which
was to buy the Bart1esville corpora
TONS oil. The Texas company was to
expend 100000 equipping pipe line
extensions and the central company
was to pay $4,000 monthly on the
pipe line account.
The central company sought to an
null the contract but after much Iiti-
cation 1t failed and the failure is
supposed to have impelled the mortg-
age foreclosure proceedings.

KANSAS BOY AMONG ROCKIES.
G. p. Wilhelm of Clay Center Among
New LieutenantS.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, March IL
-Fifty-four second lieutenants, re-
Gently appointed from civil life and
sent here for training at the Army
Service schools, have added life to the
social and military life of the post
While their work is almost as hard
as that of the West Point cadets, they
have time for social functions. One OF
the customary sights at the post in
the evening is to see fifteen or twenty
of the young officers making calls at
the homes of the senior officers.
The social life is active five days in
the week. An informal dance is given
by the officers each Friday night.
The officers live in a building for
merly used as an artillery barracks.
Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday, Thurs
$50 in the morning. At GAS they
begin a Is minutes calisthenic drill
and then go to the breakfast table with
the enthusiasm of threshers.
At $50 o'clock they begin the IN
fantry drill, similar to the one at West
Point The officers become company
of infantry and under the direction OF
Major Michael J. Lehman, Seventh
infantry, they are put through the
same eVolutiOnS as an ordinary squad
of infantry. There are several in the
class who are graduates from ac-
credited military schools and they act
as noncommissioned officers for the
company.
The drill ends at 10 and then they
listen for an hour to lectures. All are
not given lectures on the same sub
ject, however. The artillery officers
work is considered harder than that of
others General assembly is held from
II to II each day.
The afternoons are taken up in
riding and paper work by cavalry and
infantry officers on alternate days.
OF the fifty-four young officers at
the post only one is a Kansan. He is
Lieutenant G.. P. Wilhelm of Clay Cen
ter, formerly a student at the Univer-
sity of Kansas. He played on the foot
bail team for two years. He was full
back in 1910.
