or richmond is one of the cities to be
favored with regional reserve bank
1t became more than ever apparent.
after The Nirginian correspondent had
made visit to the Office Of Senators
Martin and Swanson and to two or
three of the house members, that there
may be considerably more fighting in
sight before the matter is ended.
1t was stated that Virginia congress
men VIII never rest while aspersions
are cast on that State or on John Skel-
ton Williams, the later having received
UNJUST Censure from persons in New
Orleans because that place failed to
be selected as on of the reserve
cities
Senator Swanson is determined To
fight whenever any fighting is to be
done, Yesterdays proceedings show
that when the Louisiana senators
started in to rap Richmond and Mr..
Williams they ran up against a tough
proposition in the Virginia senators.
Richmond won out because she
was entitled to have the regional
bank, was the way the Virginians ex-
pressed ii here today. New Orleans

WANT EASTER EGG
HUNT At CAPITOL

Several prominent men yesterday
were working on the proposition to
have a city Easter egg hunt Tor the
children of the city in Capitol square.
with Governor Stuart and Mayor
Ainslie taking a prominent part. and
lending their influence towards maxi
ing 1t a success. 1t Is planned to have
all of the children gather in Capitol
square Easter Monday and make a
public affair of the hunt. with all
of the children of the city participant
ing
Such a proposition is not entirely
new, however. as Washington for
some years has had such a hunt which
is participated in by the children Of
the capital, and which takes place
each year on the White House
grounds, with the president taking
part in the exercises. 1t has been
customary for the president to Join
in the hunt and to shake hands with
all of the little children. Just ouch
an affair Is planned for Richmond and
1T is hoped that Governor Stuart will
lend his aid and together with Mayor
Ainsie. appear and take part In the
hunt as does the president
The public schools of the city will
close today until next tuesday. in
commemoration OF Good Friday and
Easter Monday. and the hunt would
In no wise interfere with their school
duties, but would add to their holi-
dav.
