claim that the statutes and the treaties

RESERVE BANKING
SYSTEM LAUNCHED;
F0RESEE new ERA
Emergency Acts Just Passed
Would Not Have Been Nee
essary Had It Not Been
For Delays.

Washington. Aug. 15.-The federal
reserve board, the powerful body which
Is to control the country's new banking
system set it's organization going yes
terday. 1t held its first formal session,
tourned until Monday.
Every member of the board, including
Secretary McAdoo, who presided. and
John Shelton Williams. the comptroller
of h currency, attended the first ses-
sion. Protests from Baltimore and
Omaha against selections by the COM
mittee We're submitted and Secretary
Elliott was directed to p a
method Of procedure in hearing of
these protests. to be submitted at a
future meeting.
The president in greeting the board,
showed plainly the effects of his grief
n the strain he was under during his
as lie referred to the sacrifice some of
the board made in accepting the office.
He told the board that it was extreme
ly fortunate that at last all reasons
for delaying the organization of the
board were removed n that he felt
sure the country now could proceed to
the organization of a system that l
feel will relieve steady and reassure the
country in many ways"
Recently in the extraordinary cir
cumstances now existing in the world
at large" added the president, I'VE
have been obliged to resort to legisla-
ton intended for unusual circum-
stances. a resort which would not have
been necessary If we had had the or
ganiZation which you are now about to
COnSumate.
II look with the greatest confidence
to the result because 1 believe we have
devised O system which, though novel
in some particulars, is clearly adjusted
to the circumstances of American in
dustrial life. 1t has an element Of To-
cal self government in it which is con-
sistent with the analogies of u po-
licital life and the habits of our regional
life.
II am personally. very happy to have
played a small part in bringing his plan
to a contamination. and 1 am partic-
ularly happy that you gentlemen have
consented to serve the country in this
disinterested way to afford a guidance
to which 1 am sure it will respond with
the greatest alacrity. ! know what sac
rifices many Of you have made. and
after all there Is no real service for
which we do not pay some price. The
very fact that personal sacrifice is in
volved is a guarantee to the coun-
try of what the results will be. We
will not serve ourselves but the country
at large"

NOTED SOCIALIST
REPORTED KILLED
Dr.. liebknecht, Anti Miitarist,
Reported To Have Been
Shot For Refusing
To Fight.

London. Aug. l5.-The Daily Citizen.
organ OF the labor party, says 1t a
learned. from reliable authority, that
DR.. Karl Liebknecht. the German So
cialist leader. has been shot for refus.
ing military service.
The Daily Citizen says that the story
was brought to London by a German
refugee, who reported that Berlin, ow-
Ing to the shortage OF food. was in q
virtual state of revolution.
Mr.. Liebknecht was an officer of the
reserves and was called upon for SER
vice. He refused to respond on con
scientfous grounds. whereupon, accord
Ing to the story, a detachment OF sol.
diers was sent to his residence. He was
taken to the military barracks and
courtmartialed. After a short trial he
was convicted and shot by q platoon
of infantry men.
1t Is also reported that Rosa Luxem-
burg, the noted socialist writer, who
declared soldiers were maltreated in
the army. has been shot.
DR.. Carl Liebknecht was born In 1871.
and since his entry into politics has been
one of the foremost leaders OF the party.
He was an uncompromising anti-militariSt
and in 1901 was sentenced to is months i'm.
priSonment for high treason, the charge
growing out Of a pamphlet he wrote, at
lacking militarism.
1t was iebknec who last year in the
reichstag charged that the Krupp COM
pany, manufacturers Of arms and arma-
ments. through an agent, bribed army and
navy officials in order to obtain an insight
into official documents. He also charged
that the Krupps caused articles to be
printed in France advocating an insurrec-
ton in the French army In order to bring
o a warlike spirit In Germany. All
the officers accused by Liebknecht were
convicted by court martial and given light
sentences.
Last June Liebknecht created another
sensation In the yreichstag when he
charged that traffcking in titles on q
commission basis was carried on in Prus-
sia and that certain titles had been grant.
ed for money consideration.

VERMONT SECOND IN WHO'S WHO
Lead by Only One State in Union in
Production of Eminent Men.

Massachusetts and Vermont are the
most productive nurseries of eminent
Americans and the New England states
lead the other sections of the country
in the number of prominent men, ac-
cording to DIR. Scott Nearing of the
University of Pennsylvania, in an ar
ticle on The Geographical Distribution
of American Genius, in the Popular
Science Monthly.
Dr. Nearing shows that Massachu-
sets and Vermont produce the great
est number of eminent persons in pro
portion to population by means of the
census and Who's Who in America. He
presents table showing that Massa-
chusetts had So names in Who s Who
for 1910 for every 100000 of its ma
tive population in 1880, before which
year nearly everyone in Who's Who
was born. Vermont came next with
75.5 Next in order are Connecticut
with 692; Rhode Island with 64.S; New
Hampshire with 63.1; Maine with 54.3
New York with 46.6; Delaware with 81;
Maryland with 33 9 and Ohio with 81 s
New England had 72.4 names in
