SAYS HIS WIFE KNEW
OF HIS FORCER|ES
Peter Van Vlissingen, Con-
victed Chicago Real Estate
Man, Contests Divorce.

CHICAGO, June 19.-That his wife
knew Of his forgeries, amounting to
100000, before she married him, and
that she wanted him TO continue to
profit by his duplication of mortgages
until after his children were educated,
were statements made by Peter Van
VlissiDgen, the convicted Chicago real
estate dealer, today, in his contest
against the suit for divorce brought by

ties. is asking divorce on the ground
that her husband is felon.
In opposing 1t the husband asserts
his misdeeds were known to the woman
before he married her.
''The wrong end Of my business
had grown tremendously, and my for
geries had approximated 100000 when
she took complete charge Of my loan
department., testified Van Vlissipgen.
When she told me she was going to
leave my employ because she knew ]

ing forgeries of trust deeds, I asked
her to marry me. We went out on the
lake front one day and talked it over.
She said it wouldn t be safe to marry

CUSTOMS SERVICE
REORGANIZATION
Secretary McAdoo Sends Out
Instructions to Collectors
and Other Officials.

WASHINGTON, Juno 19,-The first
step toward the sweeping reorganiza-
tion Of the customs service, which goes
into effect on July |, was taken when
Secretary McAdoo sent detailed in
structions to collectors and officers of
ern the collections OF duties under the
new system on all importations into
the United States.
With the reduction Of the number of
customs districts from 1S2 TO 40, the
keynote of the new regulations is a
concentration of customs admlnlstra-
tion in the hands Of the collectors at
the headquarters Of each district. Final
appraisal of importations will be made
by the appraiser at each port, estima-
ted amount Of duties deposited and the
merchandise Immediately released The
appraisal then will be sent to the col
lector Mt the headquarters Of the dis
trict, where final liquidation will be
made, and the collector decides wheth-
er an appeal should be made to the
board Of general appraisers.
In questions of classification. the de-
cislon of the deputy collectors in charge
of each port will be tentative, the col
lcctor at the district headquarters max
ing final decision.
Collectors of customs along the Ca
madam border, who for years have en-
joyed perquisites from the sale Of mani
tests and other customs blanks. no
longer will receive such gratuities,
which at some ports, where the stat
utory salary Of the collector has been
omparatively insignificant, have made
the aggregate compensation Of the col
leetor $4,000 or $4,000 a year.
In future the government will print
these blanks and sell them to import
ers at one cent each, or importers will
be permitted to furnish their own
blanks.
BY the reductions in customs dis
tricts, l3 collectors automatically will
lose their jobs on July /, and other
changes in personnel will be made TO
effect large saving.

LABOR LEADERS ARE
ALLOWED TO APPEAL
Supreme Court to Hear the
Contempt Case of Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison.

w WASHINGTON, June 19.-Chief Jus.
tiee White today granted an appeal to
the supreme court for Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, Ia.
Dor leaders, convicted Of contempt Of
court in the noted Bucks Stove and
Range case, The appeal will be heard
after October.
The three officials were held in con.
tempt by the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia for violating an
injunction against boycotting the Bucks
Stove and Range company. Upon com
plant by the company. the court sen.
fenced Gompers to a year in jail
Mitchell to nine months, and Morrison
to six months. The supreme court OF
the United States set aside all the
sentences because the contempt pro
ceedings were brought in the name of
the stove company.
Thereupon the district supreme court
appointed a committee to bring con
tempt proceedings in the name Of the
court. This was done and later the
same sentences were imposed as in the
first instance. The court of appeal.
Of the district recently reduced these
sentences to one month s imprisonment
for Gompers and to $500 fines for thu
other defendants.
For several weeks applications TO
a review Of the cases had been pend
ing in the supreme court.
Chief Justice White referred the ap
plication for the granting of "wri

EXCITEMENT CAUSED
BY A SPEED MANIAC
Automobile Goes Through
Main Street at a Dizzy Rate;
Police Unable to Arrest.

Travelling at rate of speed esti.
mated at not less than fifty miles an
hour, an automobile occupied by two
men ran madly northward through the
traffic OF Main street shortly before l
o CLOCK this morning. AT Third South
street Patrolman Jorgenson shouted at
the chauffeur, who paid no attention.
The chauffeur ignored second call to
halt given by Patrolman Patten at
the First South street intersection. Eff
forts Of the policemen to discern the
number Of the car were fooled either
by the terrific speed Of the machine
or by the illegibility Of the figures.
Reaching South Temple street, the
car turned east and was lost to the
sight of the indignant policemen. The
crowded condition of the street pre-
vented the patrolmen from firing shots
at the wheels of the car in the hope
OF puncturing tire and bringing it
to stop. The machine was noticed
by many pedestrians, who scurried to
the sidewalks on either side Of Main
street. Night Watchman Ben Coulson,
who has been on Main street for many
years, said that the car exceeded any
speed he ever had seen made by the fire
department cars or any other autos
All efforts of the police to establish
the identity Of either the speed ma
in the car were without avail. Motor
cycle Patrolman A. G. Husbands was
sent from headquarters to run down
the car, but was unable to find trace
of it because of not knowing it's num-
ber

Presumed Effect.

The statement says:
The presumed effect OF this plan
VIII be TO end the placing OF reserves
with central reserve city banks for
use In stock market operations, to
keep reserves in some measure at
home, and to require spectators TO
get the funds they need In their op-
eratons, either by directly borrowing
them from persons who hold them
and want TO lend the cash for that
purpose. or else by borrowing from
the banks In the places where the
operations arc to be carried on
In the belief that the present re-
serve system is antiquated and un-
satisfactory, that TO the massing OF
funds IN New York and other finan-
cial centers. of which so much has
been said I'm recent years, is largely
due TO the present reserve require
ments of national banks. and that
in order 10 get the real benefit from
the system OF rediscount which has
been proposed as a remedy for many
existing evils II is necessary to base
such system upon an actual control
Of reserves, provision has been made
for recasting the present bank reserve
system

National Banks Unchanged,

The bill is based on the belief that
no one should participate in the con-
troll OF the system unless he Is finan-
cially interested himself. or chosen
by those who are, except insofar as
the government steps in and asserts
the authority OF the whole commu-
nifty With this In mind. the system
has been devised so as to provide for
the continuation OF existing national
banks with their orga MIA ton, powers
and functions unchanged. In addl-
ton there is established a system of
federal reserve banks. which are in
corporated institutions holding fed
eral charters and In all respects man
aged like national banks. except as
to the election OF directors.
There are twelve of these federal
reserve banks. each managed by a
board OF nine directors. three of whom
Will be expert bankers selected by the
banks. three will be members Sc
lected In the same way, but required
TO represent the commercial indus
trial or agricultural interests of the
district, and subject to removal by
the federal reserve board In case they
do not fairly represent these inter
ests, The remaining three directors
are to be chosen by the federal re-
serve board.

treasury system is unsatisfa ctory,
clumsy. injurious to business. and
difficult to manage I'm times OF stress
The bill. therefore. provides for:
The placing Of all current funds
OF the treasury In federal reserve
banks and the payment of govern
ment creditors by check thereon
The equalization OF the public funds
between the different reserve banks
by direction OF the secretary Of the
treasury and subject to rate Of In
terest TO be fixed by the federal re-
serve boa rd.
The trust funds OF the treasury are
TO be held as at present in the vaults
OF the treasury,
Under the terms OF the bill. the
federal reserve banks, after the pay
ment or all expenses and taxes, are
entitled TO pay an annual cumulative
dividend OF per cent on paid-iu
capital to It's stockholding members
One-half OF the net earnings OF the
bank must be paid into the surplus
fund until said fund shall amount to
20 per cent Of the paid in capital OF
the bank. The remaining one-half
of the banks earnings shall be paid
10 the United States. and Whenever
and so long as the surplus fund of
each federal reserve bank amounts
to 20 per cent OF the pald-in capital
the shareholders having received
their permissible dividend of . per
cent, all excess earnings shall be paid
10 the United States Every federal
reserve bank Is exempt from federal,
state and local taxation. except In
respect to taxes upon real estate.

Business of Reserve Banks.

The business Of these federal reserve
banks is TO be as follows:
"Rediscounting, of paper presented by
stockholdng banks under specified CON
dtions, provided such paper grows out
of actual agricultural, commercial or In
dustrial transactions and does not nun
more than specified number of days.
Buying and selling government Sc
curit'es, gold and silver, bullion, and for
eign coin. foreign exchange. and open
market bills Of given maturity.
Gov ernnent fiscal operations"
I'm order to meet the view so often
expressed In commercial circles to the
effect that the prosecution OF America n
business, in foreign countries would be
greatly helped by Improved banking IA
cilities," Mr. Glass's statement continued,
"the bill authorizes any national banking
association with a minimum capital OF
S1,00O.000 to establish branches in for
elgn commerce Of the United States and
TO act as fiscal agents OF the United
States abroad The federal reserve boa I'd
Is required to pass upon all applca tions

The federal reserve board would be
clothed with such administrative powers
as examination, reclassifcation and desig-
officials of federal reserve banks, and

existing banking laws would be repealed
the Aldrich- Vreeland emergency currency
act would be completely superseded and
In a separate bill a general revision OF
the administrative provisions of the ma

Expectations Summed Up.

The object OF the bill is to effect
a mod derate division and classification
OF banking business along Indicated
lines. the net result. presumably, be-
Ing summed UP as follows:
National reserve banks will be
strictly limited to rediscountinG ac-
tual commercial and Industrial trans
actions evidenced by very short-term
paper and on rare occasions. under
carefully prescribed conditions. TO
financial operations properly guar
anteed by collateral. They VIII also
be able to engage in foreign ex-
change operations, sale OF government
securities, etc.
National banks will be subjected 10
precisely the same restrictions as at
present with a relaxation IN favor Of
n moderate amount OF real estate
loans by country banks under care
fully guarded conditions.
BY a revision OF the administra-
tive features OF the national bank
ing act. provision will be made for
close oversight OF ma ational institu-
tions with a view TO holding them
strictly up TO requirements OF legitI-
mate banking business.
