to the proposed twelve regional reserve
banks.
That membership Of national banks in
the new federal system should be OPP
tional, not compulsory, as the Dill pro-
vides.
That the amount of regional reserve
bank capital for which each national
bank must subscribe should be reduced
from 20 per cent to 10 per cent OF the
subscribing banks capital stock.
That one regional reserve bank should
not be compelled to rediscount the COM
mercial paper held by another.
Federal Control Not Feared.
I'VE do not fear government control"
said Sol Wexler, vice president OF the
Whitney-Central Bank of New Orleans,
and one of the chief spokesman for the
delegation. I'VE want only minority
representation on the federal reserve
board; not to exercise undue influence
upon Its actions, but to prevent ABUSES
that might arise.
I'VE do not ask or expect that men
named to the federal reserve board
should remain members of any bank,
said Mr.. Forgan. Our contention is
learned only by experience: and men
who have served as bankers should have
voice in the administration of the ma
tional banking system"
Both Mr.. Wexler and Mr.. Forgan said
they believed the banking interests ought
to retain control Of their property,
consisting of the capital they had in
vested and the deposits they held. Both
advocated central bank as preferable
to the proposed system. Under a CEN
trail bank, they said, reserve money could
be fed OUT through 200 or more
branches, to the precise spot where 1t
was needed, without forcing one indie
pendent reserve bank to arbitrarily re-
discount the paper of another.

RED CROSS STAMPS

I e Southern Express Company
has granted free carriage for Red
Cross Christmas Seals to all parts
of the State of North Carolina.
This is special concession to the
Red Cross Seal Committee of the
State, but the same favor has been
granted some other States. This is
not only contribution of several
hundred dollars to the anti-tubercu-
losis work of these States, but is al
so recognition on the part of the
Express Company of the value of
the sale of the Red Cross Christmas
Stamps in arousing sentiment that
will help eradicate this disease
which destroys 5000 lives in North
FCarolina every year. .---..--4....---.--
The Southern Express Company
is always wide awake to the best
commercial interests of its territory
1t probably realizes the enormous
economic value of the fight against
tuberculosis. Every untimely
death is estimated to be an econo-
mic loss of $4,000 to the State or
community. At this rate tuDercu-
losis costs the State $3O,OOO,OOO
To combat with this disease the
the State is spending a mere pit
tance. The Red Cross Seal Com
mittee hoped to raise $4,000 this
year by selling 100000 Red Cross
Seals. These seals or stamps are
used as decorative stickers on let
tiers and packages during several
weeks before Christmas. They will
be sold in nearly every section of
the State and can be secured of
the Red Cross Seal Committee at
Ch. rlotte.
The action of the Express Com
pany and indicated above will help
a great deal in distributing the
seals and literature.

Superior Court Judge Frank

magistrate, exploded a bumb by
or .ering the immediate arrest OF
John H. Lange and Guy Green
owners and proprietors of the Ian
sren hotel and the Century Drug
store; James L. Alexander, pro-
prietor of the Battery PARK hotel;
and }. Baylis Rector. manager of
the Ian ;ren; together with two
other men, Vance L. Wells and
lsadore Grant, the latter colored.
these two men being alleged agents
of one or the other of the first four
men named. The arrests followed
Immediately and the defendants
were placed under heavy bonds.
These men are charged with sell
Ing whiskey directly, or indirectly
and a few Of them with the aiding
and abbeting in the traffic thru.e
their agents. III, af6davidts against
J. L. Alexander and Isadore Gfan,
were made by Chief of Police C. N.
Lominac, and those against the
others by Sheriff C. F. Williams
The arrests were made at the in
stance of J. W. Haynes of the prose-
ton.
Three of the defendants, Messers.
Lange. Green, and Alexander, were
required by Judge Carter to furnish
bond for their appearance from day
to day in the sum of $4,000 each; Mr.
Rector was required to furnish bond
in the SUM of $1,000; and. a similar
bond dwas.named for the negro, Grant
There was a. Warrent issued for
Vance L. Wells but he was reported
by the officers to be out of the city.
The charges against him are similar
to those against Grant.
The tree druggists, Penrose Bald
win, D. Nc. N. Mackay and F. H. Nc.
Mullen who were arrested about two
weeks ago when the investigation
was launched, were called into court
this morning to plead the charges
against them OF violating the prohi
bition law by making illegal sales
under license held to sell intoxicat-
cauts on prescription. The oply plead
ing, however, was made by Mr..
Baldwin, the others being continued
from day to day, the court stating
the records of the other two places
has not yet been completed.
Mr.. Baldwin, through his attor-
ney, Judge Thomas A.Jones, agreed
to plead guilty in a technical sense
to the charges against him before a
court of competent Jurisdiction; to
give up his license to sell whiskey
on prescription; ship all intoxicants
in his place of business back to the
people from whom they were pur-
chased; and to quit the business as
long as the prohibition law remains
in effect in Asheville. In support
of this he also freed to furnish
any bond that the court may deem
necessary to show good faith in
carrying out the agreement.
Judge Carter allowed this plea to
be entered. The defendant waived
a preliminary hearing in making
this plea.
The three defendants remain un-
der the same bonds, $1,000 each,
named by Judge Carter when they
were arrested.
