All Claims to Be Heard.

The federal reserve bank organization
committee last night supplemented its
plan for locating federal reserve cities
with an unofficial announcement point
ing the way for all cities to present their
claims for banks. Before the committee,
consisting of Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury and Secretary Houston of the
Department of Agriculture, starts upon
its tour of the country, it Will advise
clearing house associations and boards
Of trade in cities that are in the field for
"A reserve bank when and where they
can be heard. The committee will sug
gest that representatives of such organi-
cations be supplied with all the facts
each city wishes to produce in its favor.
Only fourteen cities, in addition to
Washington. will be visited. but it was
the understanding last night that any
city and any community can be heard at
some point on the trip around the coun-
try which has been mapped out.
Pittsburgh and Louisville will have an
opportunity either in Cleveland or Gin
cfnnau. Fort Worth. Tex, which is in
the field. will be allowed to argue in
Houston. and ST. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS
in Chicago. Information the comm ttee
procures from these cities will be useful
in determining the boundaries of the re-
serve districts.

HONOR SNATCHED
FROM H|KER BAND
Tramp Ended, SuffragetteS Get
Order to Hand Message to
Congress, Not Wilson.

HYATTSVILLE, MD, Feb. 27.-The
hiking suffragettes were robbed of the
honor of delivering the suffrage mes
sage to President-elect Wilson, for
which they have tramped 250 miles
from New York city to Washington.
Today was the last lap of their hike,
they being ready to enter Washington
tomorrow.
The blow was a crushing one to the
hikers and was contained in the fol-
lowing telegram received by General"
Rosalie Jones from Mary Ware Den
nett. corresponding secretary of the
National American Woman's Suffrage
league, of New York
THE executive board today voted
that they present the message them
selves to the congressional commit
tee"
The message which General Jones
carries was from the New York suf-
frage headquarters and there was gen.
eral amazement today over the tele-
gram. The hikers' leader made known
the contents of the telegram while the
army was en- route to this city from
Laurel. Md.
The mixers became indignant, made
charges of jealousy and demanded that
their general deliver the message to
Mr.. Wilson herself.
Il think such a plan would be a bad
one" said the general" I'VE must be
dignif1ed and we shall bow to the
wishes Of the New York leaders 1
shall turn over, the message to the
Washington congressional committee,
as requested"

OLD PEOPLE CAN'T KEEP
WARM WITHOUT A TONIC

With aged people, the blood is thin
and circulation poor, organs act
slowly. digestion Is weak, and the
body does not get sufficient warmth
from its food. Do you wonder that
they suffer with the cold, and sue
cumb so easily? They need a blood
and warmth making tonic during
the winter.
Jacobs Wine Cod Liver Extract Is
not only very pleasant tonic, but
unquestionably the best for aged
people, to make more blood, to in
crease the appetite and to give them
strength to resist the cold, Syrup of
hypophosphites, wild cherry extract,
aromatiCs and port wine are COM
bined with the medicinal properties
of the cod liver, and every particle
of nauseating oils and fats elimi-
mated making an agreeable tonic
which. instead of upsetting the sem
sitive stomach, stimulates digestion
and increases the appetite. 1t is
nourishing, blood making tonic and
builds up strength rapidly. All frail
people need it to ward off colds
coughs. bronchitis. grippe and
pneumonia.
We know that Jacobs Wine Cod
Liver Extract is superior to all sim
liar preparations. and guarantee 1t
mqualitedly. If ii does not benefit
the patient return empty bottle and
we will refund your money; 35C and

FOESOF CHARTER
HAVE A NEW " PLAN
Ranks Weakened, They Pro-
pose to Put Both New DoCu-
mentS Up to Legislature.

Their organization greatly weakened,
a plan to settle the charter fight in a
way that they hope will be agreeable to
both sides was generally discussed among
the opponents of the proposed reform to-
day. and some Of the leaders asserted
that majority of the city council would
consent to it.
Their proposal is to pass the Gambler
Hopkins -McClelland charter to the legis-
lature with the request that it be sub
mitted to the people. Also they will re-
wise the old charter along the lines al
ready suggested and ask the legislature
to enact the new provisions into law. If
the new charter is accepted by the people,
1t will take the place of the old charter
and the amendments. If 1t should be
rejected, the present charter and the
amendments would be the citys organic
laws.
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, of the
charter revision committee Of twenty-five,
said today that he positively had decided
not to introduce his famous amendment
barring Mayor Woodward and the mem
bers of the present council from service
under the new charter for two years.
Though the resolution was generally re-
garded as a joke, its support at one time
was sufficient to be serious
Councilman Ashley said, however, that
he was not surrendering his position to
any faction. He declared he would let
the people know in very positive terms
just where he stood on the charter ques-
tion when the right time comes. The
committee Of twenty-five meets Tuesday
Aldine Chambers, defeated by Mayor
Woodward for mayor, and Alderman
James r. Nutting, who have been the
two most active opponents Of the new
charter, are still firm in their positions
but it Is the consensus of opinion among
political critics that they have been Bit
terly disappointed in the support they
have received.

u. S. LIQUOR LICENSE
COSTS BLIND TIGER"
YEAR BEHIND BARS

For the first time since its passage,
the law making the possession Of a
Federal liquor license pr1ma facie evil
dence Of guilt of violation Of the pro-
hibition law was invoked in Fulton su-
perior court today, when Arthur
Beard, a negro, was sentenced to
twelve months in the penitentiary by
Judge Thomas.
While the existence of the law has
been taken advantage of in other sec
tions Of the state and it's validity has
been established by the appellate court,
Fulton officials have put little faith in
1t.
Beard was arraigned for selling
whiskey on the flimsiest sort Of
straightaway evidence. such as is us
ually employed in such prosecutions.
Solicitor Dorsey presented to the court
a Federal liquor license as proof of the
prisoners guilt, and called the jury's
attention to the existence of the law.
