MARITAL LAW RIGIDLY
ENFORCED IN NICARAGUA

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 1S.-
Martial law is being rigidly enforced
in this country and the Diaz admin
istration has established a strict CEN
sorship over all criticism of the gov
ernments acts.
The storm raised in some of the
Central American countries by the
proposed canal convention between
the United States and Nicaragua,
implying that protectorate would
be established over this country was
not evident here. principally because
of the governments action in sup
pressing promptly those newspapers
which dared to publish extracts from
the Costa Rican press.
The proposed treaty between the
United States and Nicaragua, as
drafted by Secretary of State Bryan,
was rejected on August 2 by the
Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions.

IN CURRENCY BILL
Congressman Townsend to
Amend Measure TO Help
Jersey Banks.
Star Bureau.
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WASHINGTON. Aug. Ii


Representative Edward w Town
send. of New Jersey, announced this
afternoon that he had discovered in
the currency bill pending in caucus
provision which would prevent ma
tional banks in cities and towns of
less than $4,000 population from buy
ing local bonds for investment.
An amendment to enable banks in
smaller cities to invest in local Sc
curties will be offered by Mr. Town
send in the caucus.
"I shall offer and try to have
adopted said Mr.. Townsend, IAN
amendment to the bill in the inter-
est of the small town and cities of
by the committee, restricts the in
vestments by banks in the proposed
reserve system to bond of cities and
towns having more than $4,000 popu-
lation. This would prevent many ma
tional banks from investing in bonds
of their own communities. This
peculiarly affects New Jersey.
almost all of the towns and cities
of our State have to issue temporary
loan bonds in anticipation of taxes,
sewer and paving assessments and the
like The small towns issuing such
bonds are almost entirely dependent
banker, upon their local banks as
purchasers. These securities are
high class investments, and the banks
in towns of less than $4,000 popula-
ton should be permitted to take such
bonds in their savings departments.
"I am informed that many of New
Jersev's national banks have as high
as three-fourths of their deposits in
their savings departments, and If
they could not invest in bonds of their
own communities with their savings
department funds it would practically
prohibit them from making such in
yestments at all and would seriously
cripple the financial administration
of the small communities of the State
while this restriction would not, of
course, apply to Newark, nevertheless,
as Newark is the financial centre of
1.-THE tSate, it should make itself heard
n this matter which would affect
| nany small communities in whose
l financial affairs Newark is deeply in
\teiested.
n The restriction as to bank invest
hefts in local securities. it is under
Aool. was put into the bill to guard
aaaiIst wildcat investments by West
erA and Southern banks in the bonds

MrA Townsend came across the pro-
visian while studying the measure
and 1t nce realized that if left in the
RESTITUTION would prevent banks in

municipality.

store, here, some time after the place
was closed Saturday night, obtained
Jewels and silverware valued at about

when additional booty, worth 100000

The burglars picked the lock on the
front door and forced the locks on
four show cases, which were arranged
in the form of a horseshoe. The ROB-
berry was discovered when the store
was opened today. An inventory
showed that the missing pieces In
cluded twelve dozen stickpins, two
diamond brooches and a number OF
small pieces.
In front of safe which stands at
the back of the store were found three

of an explosion, and two suitcases.
The police think that the burglars
had only begun operations when they
were alarmed and hastily withdrew.
