Banks Desiring to Enter Federal Re.

Washington, April S.-Banks ap.
plying for membership must now
take the next step preliminary to the
organization Of the new federal re.
serve banking system. John Shelton
Williams. comptroller OF the cur.
rency. tonight forwarded to the
banks which have applied for mem
bership a copy Of circular letter
telling OF the division Of the country
into II reserve districts and inform
ing each bank to which district il
will belong.
lnclosed with this notice NJ. G. Ell
lott. secretary to the reserve bank
organization committee, sent a. blank
form on which banks shall signify the
amount Of their subscription, and also
circular letter calling attention to
the law which provides for sub
scription OF per cent OF banks
capital and surplus.
THE cooperation Of applying
banks" Mr.. Elliott wrote, will ma
terially facilitate the organization of
the federal reserve banks and en-
able member banks to avail them
selves of the advantages of the fed
eral reserve system by bringing into
operation those provisions OF the fed
eral reserve act which become effect
i've and operative when such federal
reserve banks shall have been organ
lied"
Treasury officials were hopeful to-
night that the appeal for prompt ac-
ton would meet with a response from
the banks. 1t will take about five
days for banks on the Pacific coast
to get subscription blanks and letters
and as much more time for an an
swer to come to Washington. Banks
in the Eastern districts. however.
may be able to send their subscrip-
uOn WITHIN q short time and it is pos
sible that the way will be cleared for
the organization or the first bank
within n week.
Under the law banks have 30 days
after notice to subscribe. hut officials
do not believe this time limit will be
exhausted by many institutions. since
banks which intended to enter the
system have been preparing for this
step for the last few months.

MINISTERS PLEAD FOR GURMEN
GLYNN MOVED to- TEARS. BUT
REFUSES CLIEMENCY.
Rabbis' Request That Governor Stay
Action Till After Passover Feast
Refused.

Albany, N. ", April S.-An impas-
stoned and dramatic appeal by five
jewish clergymen of New York for a
stay OF the execution of the four
gunmen convicted Of killing Herman
Nosenthal was denied by Governor
Glynn late today. The convicted men
now must die in the electric chair at
Sing Sing next Monday,
The plea, which was made in the
executive chamber, was based on the
possibility of new evidence developing
IN the second trial Of former Police
Lieut.. Becker. 1t SO completely un-
nerved the executive that he had 70

Each was permitted to make his n,ea
The governor meanwhile stood, ner-
vously twitching his watch chain. His
race was drawn and white, his lips
quivered and tears were in his eyes.
AT times the governor interrupted
the speakers to say that the evidence
before him did not warrant a change
or his decision not to grant the pris-
oners' plea for executive clemency.
IF it were my heart alone that was
considering this case," he said, "you
know what 1 would do. II it was a
choice between sentiment and justice
and l had to side with justice. i
would have given every cent / pos
sess not to have had to pass upon this
case finally"
Rabbi Jacob GOldstein, chaplain Of
the Tombs and Of Sing Sing, assert
ed that the three Jewish boys had told
him lin all sOlemnity that Frank Ci-
rofici was not there at the time of
the shooting"
The records show" Mr.. Goldstein
said, that forty-five minutes after
the shooting CirOfici was in a neigh
boring Police Court bailing out his
sweetheart. Would any criminal with
blood on his hands have the audacity
to invade a station house after COM
mitting a crime?"
The clergymen urged that evidence
IN the second Becker trial might throw
new light on the Identification of Giro
fici. When other appeals had failed
the clergymen finally requested that
execution be stayed until after the
Feast Of the Passover, which begins
next Monday morning, and continues
until the early part of the following
week, and which they described as "a
festival Of rejoicing, which will be
marred for every one Of our faith if
this cloud overshadows it's begin
ming"
This request. too, was denied.
