TRYING 10 RECOVER 100000.
Receiver for Failed Chase Bank f1las
Claim.

New York, Oct. a0.-The receives
for the defunct First-Second National
Bank OF Pittsburgh today entered suit
in the federal court here against the
Chase National Bank Of this city to
recover 100000.
The complaint charges that the
Chase National entered into a con-.
spiracy with the Westinghouse Elec-
trio & Manufacturing company to
evade payment Of the sum which. &C.
cording to plaintiff, is due on a note
transaction.
Guy E. Tripp, chairman Of the
baord Of the Westinghouse company.
tonight explained the position of his
company and the Chase National
Bank in the suit. The 100000 sued
for, he says. represents the partici,.
patton Of the First National Bank of
Pittsburgh in loan to the Westing-
house company made through the
Chase National as a result Of which
hy agreement, the Westinghouse COM
pany deposited in the Pittsburgh in
stituion 100000 received from the
Chase National. Before the loan ma
tured the First and Second National
Banks Of Pittsburgh were merged and
the merged bank became insolvent.
The suit, Mr.. Tripp said. is to Judi
cially determine the Westinghouse
company's right to set off It's deposit
against the Pittsburgh banks partici-
patton in the loan.

All Exhibits Were Highly Creditable
and Award Of Prizes Was Disfaculs.
Sumter County Praised.

Columbia, Oct. 29.-The prizes wore
awarded to the three winning coun-
ties of the girls canning and poultry
clubs yesterday at the fair grounds
The judges were Mrs. c. b. Mather
OF Charleston and Mrs. Ernestine
Dreher and Mrs. A. c. Moore of Co.

Beaufort county, with Miss Bertha
Lechner as agent: the second prize
was awarded to Lee county with Miss
Grace Dell James. agent, and the
third prize went to York county, for
which Miss Minnie Lee Garrison Is
agent.
The points considered by the judges
in awarding the prizes were the most
attractively arranged booth, the best
display Of correlated school and club
work. and the quality, variety aridt
quantity of the goods displayed. The
judges said that it was the hardest
decision that they had been called
upon to make. A number Of the coun-
ties that they did not receive prizes
were highly mentioned
Beaufort county won the first prize
Of SIS because Of the quality OF the
goods displayed and the conception OF
the arrangement showed a knowledge
of the work and its mission. The fea.
lures that attracted attention were
the bottled figs, miniature IDEAL
farm. carved oranges and q descrip-
tion of the rotation OF crops.
Lee county came second because
of the extra quality OF the goods and
q display that showed the correlA-
ton Of school and club work. The
exhibit showing methods OF stalking
tomatoes was a striking feature. The
prize was $50.
The striking feature in, the York
county exhibit. which won the third
prize Of $25. was the banner. A
county cook book. which showed thu
work Of the girls in the county, at.
tracted attention.
Because Of the poultry exhibited by
Barnwell county. it is likely the fourth
prize. had there been one, would
have gone to that county. Tho three

CHANGES IN CURRENCY.
COMMITTEE FRAMING ANOTHER
SUBSTITUTE BILL.
The Reserve Board is to Be Increased
From Seven to Nine Members and
Cabinet Officers to BE Dropped.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Important
changes in the administration cur
rency bill resulted from the first
days executive work by the senate
committee. The committee passed
over for later action the proposition
to substitute a government controlled
bank for the regional bank plan in
the bill and proceeded to perfect the
details Of the measure. The COM
plexion Of the proposed reserve board
was materially altered by amend
ments adopted today and it probably
will be further changed. It was de-
cided to Increase the membership of
the board from seven to nine and
eliminate the secretary Of agricul-
ture and the comptroller of the cur
rency from service on the board. An
other amendment to take off the
board secretary Of the treasury and
to remove all ex-officio members is
pending.
The committee decided to arrange
the terms SO that one members ser.
vice would expire each year. This
provision is designed to meet the de-
mand that the service Of members Of
the board be given continuity.
1t was decided to eliminate the or.
ganization committee proposed by the
house bill and to have the federal re-
serve board Immediately appointed
with the power to organize and place
In operation whatever scheme finally
Is agreed upon.
"A large part Of today's session was
devoted to a discussion Of the num-
Der Of regional banks to be created by
the bill If the regional plan ia main
tained. but no conclusion was
reached.
The administration supporters in
the committee endeavored to keep
the number at IL If possible. but
other members favored four, FIVE or
six banks. 1t was argued that New
York. Chicago and st. Louis, the
present central reserve cities, would
need regional institutions and New
Orleans and San Franciso were
mentioned as possible locations. A
decision on the question probably will
be reached tomorrow.
The committee temporarily has
abandoned all efforts to dispose OF
the central bank plan on which thu
committee stands six to six. The
members will proceed to develop both
the regional and the central bank
plan so far as possible along paral-
lei lines until each is perfected SO
far as the committee can agree. The,
the vote on the two plans will be
taken.
