that one of the ordinary D engines

The main object of this change on

THE MEASURE WAS SIGNED BY THE
PRESIDENT At SIX O'CLOCK

Washington, Dec. 26th.-With all of

tails of the nations new financial sys.
tenn.
Two cabinet members, acting as an
organization committee, will determine
the important preliminary moves to the
actual installation of the machinery
that Is to operate the federal reserve
system.
Although the law provides that the
two secretaries shall join with the
comptroller of the treasury in the pre-
liminary work Of organization, the Of.
fee Of comptroller is vacant, and it has
been decided that the two secretaries,
consisting majority of the committee.
may 60 ahead. Later the members of
that body and the other five will be
chosen from private life. i.
II Mr.. Wilson had finally made his
selection for those five places, 1t was
not known in Washington.
The first steps to be taken by the
secretaries will be the selection of cities
where federal reserve banks, the back.
bore Of the system, are to be located.
The law provides for not less than
eight or more than twelve. The or.
ganization committee is empowered to
employ counsel and summon witness
ses and bankers and to go deeply into
the location of the reserve reservoirs
Its decision is not subject to review by
the federal reserve board.
It is possible, that before the ques.
tion of cities is decided the organiza.
tion committee will visit cities sug
gested and base its report on informa
tion gained at first hand.

Mr.. Derr is very enthusiastic about

the ditch may be carried over to White
