Secretary Bryan declined to-day to

however, is that the notice is sinilar to

VICE PRESIDENT TART
IN DISCUSSING MOVIES
Regards Remarks Made on Senate
Floor as Attempt to Criticise
the Chair"

The moving pictures taken in the
Senate chamber yesterday for use in q
lecture on the government Of the
United. States may never see the light.
Senator Overman, chairman Of the
rules committee, rose in the Senate
today and read the rules Of the Senate
prohibiting the taking of pictures In
the Senate chamber, and demanded to
know by whose authority the pictures
had been made.
Vice President Marshall, who with a
number Of the senator's, the chaplain
and clerks of the Senate had posed for
the moving pictures, said that he had
supposed the permission of the rules
committee had been obtained by the
operator before the pictures were
taken. Senator Overman said that the
committee had given no such permis-
sion, although he had been approached
on the subject.
of the Senate, was called to the bar to
explain. He said that he had been told
by the secretary of the Vice President
that the Vice President thought there
was no objection to the taking of the
pictures. He gave the Vice President
as authority for the taking of the pic
lures.
The Vice President denied that he
had given the authority.

RESERVE BOARD EXPECTED
TO FAVOR COTTON FUND
Members Scheduled to Meet Again
Today to Discuss Details
of Plan.

Formal sanction by the federal re-
serve board of the plan for a $150,000,-
600 cotton loan fund is practically as
sured as result of a conference to-
day between the board and st. Louis
bankers who originated the project
1t was not considered probable today
that the board would be willing to
apportion the amounts to be contrib
uted by various banks which wish to
enter the syndicate. 1t did this serv-
vice in connection with the 100000
900 gold pool to meet foreign obliga-
tions of American merchants, but 1t is
said the members do not put the cotton
syndicate in exactly the same class as
the gold pool
The board will meet again late today
to discuss details of this scheme by
which its hackers hope to take care of
the surplus cotton crop of the coun-
try. The subcommittee Of the board,
consisting of Gov: Hamlin. Paul M.
ported in favor of the principle en-
bodied in it. 1t became known, how
ever, that the board is anxious not to
create the impression that it is in any
way demanding that bankers help raise
the fund. The board is said to agree
that the plan is good one, but does not
wish to lay itself open to indorsing fu-
ture schemes of the same kind which
may not be so attractive in their back
ing or their objects. 1t is pretty well
assured that the board will refuse to
act as managers for the syndicate
fund, proposal advanced today by the
bankers. Aside from its moral sup
port it will have as little to do with
the whole matter as possible.

Hindus on the Fighting Line.
From the Toronto Globe

The arrival of the Hindu contingent
in France brings a welcome addition
to the allied forces now holding back
the invading Germans. How many of
them Lord Kitchener will bring over
no one on this side of the Atlantic,
perhaps no one on the other side,
knows. What is well known to all who
are familiar with historical and cotem-
poraneous conditions in Hindustan is
that the Sikh soldiers will always and
everywhere give a good account of
themselves. They belong to the finest
of the many Indian races. Their coun-
try-the Punjab-was annexed to Brit
ish India in 1S49 after two fierce wars,
but so much progress was made during
the next few years in making Britain
administration acceptable to them that
In the Indian mutiny of 1857 they took
the side of Great Britain against the
mutinous Sepoys of Oudh and other
provinces, and did no one can say how
much to enable Great Britain to retain
control of the whole country. Lord
Kitchener knows these troops well. and
they know him, for he served as COM
mander-in- chief in India from 1902 to
1908. Their military exploits in the
allied army will be watched with deep
interest by both British and French
comrades in arms, and not less so by
the Algerians from French Africa.
