REGRET DEFEAT
Of AMENDMENT
TO CLAYTON BILL
Representative McCoy's Efforts
to Aid Country Bankers
Fail in House.
IFrom a star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Friends
of Representative Walter l. Mccoy
are sympathizing with him over the
defeat on the floor of the House on
his amendment to the antitrust bill
to take the small city and country
banker out of the provisions of the
interlocking directorate. Represent
ative Mccoy, who is recognized as one
of the real legislative workers here,
and puts in more hours week at
steady work in committee, in his Of
flee and on the floor than some mem
bers put in in six months, prepared
his amendment at the solicitation of
many of his country constituents.
Other representatives who know
him for his extensive legal knowl-
edge also appealed to him as men,
Der of the judiciary committee to try
to provide some way by which the
banker in the small town would not
be hampered in his duties by the
general interlocking directorate pro-
visions.
In his speech to the House on his
amendment Representative Mccoy
explained its intent in detail and an
swered a great many questions about
it while he made the following
speech:
"The amendment which | have Of
fered strikes out of the section in re-
gard to interlocking bank directo-
rates that part which controls and
limits them to the amount of $2,500,-
900 in one instance, and by the popu-
lation of the town in which the banks
are situated in the other instance. 1t
tg, Ioefif nj ha
vision establishing two principles
which it is believed should be fol-
lowed in banking, and then it pro-
vides that if either of those princi-
Piles are violated, on complaint of the
violation being made, the Federal
Reserve Board, after hearing, shall
act.
Now, ] introduced as drastic an
interlocking bill as could possibly be
imagined. That was before we had
hearings. But after the hearings l
was satisfied that in order to remedy
some of the admitted evils, of which
/ complained as much as anybody
and which exist principally in some
of the large cities, we go too far, and
hit a great many people who are di-
rectors in banks, and who are en-
tirely innocent of any attempt to do
the sort of thing complained of. The
complaints when boiled down were
in substance that on the one hand
banks suppress competition, and on
the other hand that they unfairly
discriminate in making loans.
"Then it provides, as 1 said before
that on complaint of the violation of
either of those two general princi-
Piles the Federal Reserve Board
shall remove the officer or director
complained of from one or all of said
banks organized under the laws of
the United States That is as far as
we have power to go directly in the
way of removal, and the proposed
amendment provides for the removal
of such officer or director from such
State bank or trust company, or the
withdrawal of the bank or trust COM
pany from the Federal Reserve
Bank"

GIRL STARTS FOR
DANCE; DISAPPEARS
Mother Declares Daughter,
Gone Four Weeks, Will Be
Welcomed Home.

Mrs. Max Sommers. of u Eighteenth
avenue, appealed to the Evening Star
today for aid in finding her daughter,
Ida, twenty-one years old. who left
her home four weeks ago last Satur-
day night. telling her parents she was
going to a ball. She has not been
home since.
Mrs. Sommers says there is a vel
come awaiting her daughter II she
will return. no matter where she has
been or what she has done in her alb
sence. Her family is of the opinion
she may have been married. If she
has, Mrs. Sommers says, she need not
fear to return. She and her husband
will be received. and wedding pres
ent will be given to them
The missing girls father, who has
long been sick, has become worse
since she went away. and his family
has sent him to the home of his
brother in Lynn, Mass, TO rest.
There was nS reason why her
daughter should have left home, tho
mother says. a few days before she
went away she lost her position, but
her family had not chided her on that
account. There was no objection
raised when Ida told her family she
was going TO a dance on the night
she disappeared. She went away
wearing a green party dress, and it
was not until the following day that
her mother discovered she had taken
a street dress tNSith her also.
Inquiry among the girls friends has
failed to bring the family any in
formation about the girl. So far as is
known she did not attend the dance
on the night she disappeared.

ter as tall, dark, well built and Qresse,

ASSERTS BARKER
WAS VICTIM Of
COPY|ST' ERROR
Former Congressman Bennet,
Counsel for Christ Church
Pastor, Reviews Case.

Former Congressman William S.
Bennett, of New York, gave a COM
plete review of the case against Rev.
Percival II. Barker, pastor of Christ
Reformed Church, in the church last
night before a large gathering of
members and friends. Mr.. Bennett is
an elder in the Presbyterian Church
and was counsel for Mr.. Barker in
his recent trial.
Mr.. Bennett said that he offered his
services TO Mr. Barker after the case
had been outlined to him by former
Judge Alfred Skinner. 1t seemed i'm
possible to him, he said, that any
man had been suspended from the
ministry on such evidence, and he
undertook to defend Mr.. Barker be-
cause he considered it a duty to his
own church.
In September, 1912, Mr.. Barker re-
signed as pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church of Coffeyville, Kan,
Mr. Bennett said, and on request of d
reporter for the Coffeyville Sun he
wrote an article in reference to his
resignation. The speaker said that he
has proved that this article was true
in every particular. on this article
a charge of lying" was based.
The second charge against Mr.. Bar
ker was founded upon an unfortunate
circumstance. and might appear at
first to have some substantiation,
Mr. Bennet said, but in reality is as
unsupported as the other.
while in Chicago Mr.. Barker re-
ceived from a Presbyterian minister
a letter of recommendation, Mr.. Ben
net declared. THE minister told him
to make copies of this letter and send
them to churches where the pulpits
were empty. Mr.. Barker, not being
proficient on the typewriter, had
these copies made by someone else.
The letter stated that Mr.. Barker
had received his education at the
Northwestern University and at Mis-
souri, College.
Mr. Barker had studied as a spe-
cial student at these institutions, but
did not have a diploma from either.
The copyist innocently changed the
wording to has graduated from,
which was not the truth. Mr.. Barker
signed and sent the letters without
noticing the change, One of these
letters came to Coffeyyille, and upon
1t was based the second charge of
lying,
The minister was tried by the
Presbytery of Neosho Kan, and sus-
pended from the Presbyterian minis
try for a year. He later accepted a
cali to the pulpit in the local church.
A third charge, that of violating his
suspension by preaching here, was
brought against him,
AT a meeting of the judicial COM
mission of the Presbyterian General
Assembly in Chicago last week, Mr..
Barker was completely eXonerated of
all three charges. The assembly di-
rected that the case be tried again
before the Neosho Presbytery,
Mr.. Bennett said last night that Mr..
Barker is now a minister in good
standing, but under charges" These
charges, he is convinced, will be dis
missed.
Former Judge Skinner introduced
the. speaker. Mr. skinner said that
the crisis in the Barker case was
over. He complimented Mr.. Barker
for the manliness with which he had
met unjust charges against him, and
complimented the congregation for
standing by the pastor to man.

FAILURE TO APPEAR IN

Fearing to stand trial for arson in
the Court of Quarter Sessions here
today, Jacob Rosen, a wealthy gro
bolic acid in his home, IA Early street
Morristown, this morning.
Rosen was charged with hiring two
men to burn down a tenement house
he owned at 155 Washington street,
Orange, the night of April "a. The
persons narrowly escaped death in
the flames.
There were seventeen witnesses
ready TO testify against Rosen when
Judge William NJ Seifert, of Bergen
county, called the case today Then
it was discovered that Rosen was not
in the courtroom. Frank M. McDer-
nit, Rosen'S counsel, told the court
he had seen his client late yesterday
afternoon, and that the latter had
promised him he would be in court
today.
Then Mr.. McDermit got in touch
with Samuel Goldfarb, of 131 Prince
street who had gone on Rosen's bail
for $1,000 when Rosen was arrested
in Morristown on May IA. Rosen's
bail was fixed at s12, 800 by Prosecutor
Hood but the prisoner furnished a
bond of $500 himself, giving as Sc
curity property in Morrlstown worth
$4,000.
Mr.. Goldfarb said he had not seen
Rosen in more than a week. Then
Nh. McDermit telephoned to Norris
town and learned that his client was
dead.
Sees Fire Engines, Ends Life.
Rosen's son, Isaac, today said his
father was sick last night. At $3.50
a. m, the younger Rosen said, the
members of his family were awaken
ed by fire engines passing their home.
After watching the engines go by
Rosen, his son said, went to the bath
room. There he drank the contents
of bottle of carbolic acid. He re-
turned to his bedroom where members
of the family found his unconscious
at a. m.
DR.. George V. Wilkinson was called,
but when he arrived Rosen was dead.
Coroner Lawrence ]. Walsh was sum-
moned aud gave a burial permit.
On the night OF April "a, the three

performed many thrilling rescues, for

SPECIAL NEWARK
ELECTION MOVE
SEEMS DOOMED
Numerous Signatures to Com
mission Government Petition
Are Found Invalid.
FOUND IN THE LIST
NAMES OF DEAD MEN
Total, 1t Is Believed, Will Fall
Short of Necessary Number
When Inquiry Ends.

From present indications special
election on the question of commits
sion form of government for Newark
will not be held in the immediate
future. The first work on the COM
parison of the signatures on the last
poll books indicate that nearly fifty
per cent. of the names will have to be
stricken off. The Commission Govern
ment League took the precaution to
secure approximately 1880 names
more than ii was necessary, but it
seems as if the margin of safety is
not safe one by any means.
Taking for basis the percentage of
names ordered off by the experts yes
terday, the petition will not have a
sufficient number of names to war
rant City Clerk James T.. Connolly
in calling for the proposed election.
The investigation of the names on
the petition, however, has not been
concluded.
The three signature experts en-
gagged by the city considered sixty
one signatures at their first session
last night. OF this NUMBER thirty
seven were unanimously approved; (;
twenty unanimously rejected and
there were four upon which the ex-
perts could not reach an agreement.
1t is thought likely that William J..
Kinsley, the handwriting expert, upon
whom will rest final decision, will re-
ject the four signatures that were
regarded as doubtful by the other ex-
perts. In this event, it will bring the
percentage of reflections up to more
than 80 per cent.
Taking into consideration the nu-
merous Implications on thepetitions
and the names of men who are dead,
it is thought that the petition, when
the investigation has been completed,
will not contain sufficient names.
There is said to be a number of
