THE ASSOCIATED
 CHARITIES WORK What It Stands For and What It Is. Board Issues
 Initial Statement.
WANTS COOPERATION
Will Protect the Public From ImbOst. ters and Place Charity
 Where it Belongs.

We are as the name shows com bination of the charitable agencies of Pine Bluff-church and church societies. city and county charity de- partments and all relief-giving or ganizations.
 It is our intention to support, with your assistance two trained workers to maintain an office keep syste- matic record of all work and deal thoroughly and efficiently with the poor and distressed in this city and county What Cnorganized Charity Is Apt To Do. We believe that unorganized chari- ty is apt to fail because one society is igrOnant of the work done by of duplicating relief work, thus vast ing time and money, also in danger of being swiadled by imposters who take advantage of societies and or ganizations. Another danger is that the relief provided through unorga- nized methods is usually incomplete and unsatisfactory.
 We believe that this kind of charity is apt to make family more de- pendent.
 What Organized Charity Does.
 Organized charity, on the other hand makes all societies cooperate, thus preventing duplication of aid and imposture
 It provides better and more thorough relief.
 Because of employing trained workers, who give all their time. organized charity secures through in- vestigation of all cases and good constructive work that seeks to build a family up to self-support
 What We Shall Do.
 First-Relieve emergency u,stress at once.

advised him to hold his stock. Mr..
Freedman says ne knows the demand
for oil is growing and that the prevail
ing prices for the Standard Oil securi-
ties in the past year do not represent
the true value of the stocks.
Mr., Freedman reported that ~the
estate Of Mrs. Flagier. which was val
ued at s2,532,47s in 1908, is now worth
S4e3s.226. an increase from $3,2S1.1s0
a year ago. The income the past year
was S462,1S5 and the increased value
OF the estate was s462,2 26. He paid
$as,99s to Mrs Flagier's relatives under
a court order giving them part of her
annual income, and paid s4o.323 for her
maintenance during the year.
Mental Condition Same.
Mr.. Freedman testified that Mrs.
Flagler Is practically In the same men
tai condition she was In a. year ago,
although her increasing age Is affecting
her slightly.
Justice Pendleton signed an order d.
recting Mr.. Freedman TO hold the Stan
dard Oil stock until the further order

Citizens nominee. While Mr.. Steele
would not go beyond the statement
that the Citizens management would
ask for a hearing before the board
of canvassers. 1t was rumored at
Citizens Headquarters that a contest
of the election Is not improbable.
Discovery OF Errors.
II was reported today that errors
have been discovered in the counting
OF the ballots by the election officials,
which, in the recount by the board of
canvassers. would reduce Trehey's
majority to less than fifty. This re-
port could not be traced to authori-
tive origin

WASHINGTON Nov. BY a vote
of to S. the senate banking and cur
rency committee late this afternoo
adopted resolution offered by Sena-
tor Reed. of Missouri. which requires
the proposed regional reserve banks TO
keep so per cent of the reserves under
the control of the federal reserve
board In Washington.
BY this action the committee elimi-
mated the compulsory rediscount fea-

which one regional reserve bank could
be required to rediscount the paper
held by another regional bank. Under
the Reed plan the large reserve thus
impounded in Washington under the
control of the federal reserve board.
may be used TO relieve any situation
arising with any regional association,
either by lending the use of the re-
serve, temporarily, by issuing notes or
in many ways the details of which
have not yet been worked out by the
committee.
Satisfactory to Bankers.
The compulsory redtscount feature
Of the house bill. which was eliminat-
ed today. had been the source OF much
complaint from bankers in the large
reserve cIties.
Five Republican members OF the
committee and. two Democrats far
nished the votes by which Senator
Reeds resolution was carried. The
two Democrats were Senators Reed
and Hitchcock.
Chairman Owen was taken COM
pTete1v by SURPRISE by The adoption Of
Mr. Reeds motion, He declared 1t
was impractical, that 1t would con-
centrate in Washington under the
control of the federal reserve board
more than $500, 100000. which ought
to be left with the regional reserve
associations.
It is certain that this new feature
win be opposed by the president. AL
ready the senate committee has made
several changes that are distasteful
10 Mr. Wilson, and each day makes II
more apparent that a situation is being
created In which President Wilson will
have TO fight If he hopes TO retain the
fundamentals OF the administration
bill.
Makes For Delay.
The significant thing about the
action taken by the committee today
10 leaders In congress, IN that II still
further complexities the situation. and
renders more indefinite the date when
the bin will be reported TO the senate.
In spite of information that the
president disapproves the various
changes that have been made in the
bin by the senate committee. the
members of the committee are pro-
ceeding in disregard of the executive
will This Is increasing the murmur-
ings among Democratic senator's who
adhere to the administration view, and
accentuates the talk of a party caucus
