mel of the board. but there is reason to
believe that the two men of banking eX-
perience. two men OF the business world
with a knowledge of finance. and an econ
omist of recognized ability will be named.
1t is said TO be quite possible that three
business men. one banker and an econo-
mist may be finally decided upon. though
the trend is in favor Of the tirst-named
order.
One thing is certain. the men who are
on the Presidents eligible list are not
prominent in politics. Mr. Wilson has de-
termined that political considerations
shall not weigh in his selections.
The President realizes the difficulty OF
his task. His friends are impressing upon
him the necessity for making the frs,
federal reserve board a standard for the
future of the country's financial system
Already il is said a man of big business
and banking experience who would have
been fitted for the board has been elimi-
mated from consideration because of a

BIG LAND DEAL IN LONDON.

LONDON, April Another great Lon
don land deal has been concluded by
which S. P. Derbyshire acquired the
whole of Lord Howard De Walden's Re-
gents Park estate for more than S.,
100000
In point of size this is said to be the
largest transfer of London property that
has ever taken place, for the total extent
of the estate is siNty-tWo and one-half
acres 1t contained 40 houses, divided
among some twenty streets. A police
station. ST Stephens Church, four large

this part of London into new wayfare.
