THE COTTON LOAN FUND
Reserve Board Decides Upon Plan Of
Distribution.


Washington, Oct. 27.-Full details Of
the plan for $135,OOO,OO0 loan fund to
take care Of the surplus cotton crop,
were made public tonight by the Fed
eral Reserve board. The boards out
line of the plan was sent to clearing
house associations throughout the
country.
Responses are expected before the
end Of the week and officials were
hopeful tonight that the plan would
meet with sufficient banking support
to make its adoption certain.
The outline differs only in detail
from the previous announcements Of
the board. The fund, it shows, Is to be
administered under direction Of COM
mittee to be known as the central
committee to be composed Of the in
dividual reserve board members. Ac-
tual administration Of the fund will be
under a cotton loan committee" con-
sisting Of these members.
w. P. G.. Harding, member Of the
board, chairman; Paul NJ Warburg Of
the board, Col. E. M. House, Austin,
Texas; A. H. Wiggin, New York; Jas.
B. Forgan, Chicago; Festus ]. Wade,
st. Louis; Levi l. Rue, Philadelphia
and William A. CASTOR, Boston.
There are to be two classes Of sub
scriptions. The first will be known as
class "A" and will aggregate 100000
900 and will be raised in non-cotton
producing states. Glass "B" subscrip-
tions are to be made by banks in cot
ton producing states.
Applications for loans must be sub
mitted to state and local committees,
which are required to approve them.
and made through banks or bankers.
Applications must be accompanied by
subscriptions to class "B" amounting
to rs per cent Of the loan requested, so
that non-cotton producing states par
ticipating will loan rs per cent and
cotton states 25 per cent. Every sub
scriber will receive certificates Of par
ticipation, which shall be transferable
on the committees books and bear
per cent interest.
Loans will be made on notes at 6 per
cent with warehouse receipts for cot
ton as collateral, on the basis Of six
cents per pound for middling. All ex-
penses for warehouse and insurance
charges must be borne by the borrow
er. A guarantee fund is to be created
by deductions Of three per cent from
the face value Of all loans, which will
be used also to provide funds for the
payment Of expenses Of administration
estimated not to exceed ! Of per cent
Of the fund.
All applications for loans must be
made before February l, 1915. The
loans will have a maturity Of one year
with a promise or renewal for six
months on approval of the central
committee.
In the repayment Of subscribers to
the fund the class "A" certificates will
be taken care Of in a proportionately
larger degree until the outstanding
amounts of each class become equal.

rode in an armored train along the
banks Of the User says that the fiat
country Of that region has been made
horribly desolate by the engines OF

He says that on Thursday, the Ger

back once more.

Equally the Germans are depending

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
New Official Necessary to Maintain
judicial Balance.

The country in general is just be-
ginning to realize that heretofore a
very necessary official Of the judiciary
has been entirely overlooked, |. e., the
Public Defender. The creation Of this
office last spring by the city Of Los
Angeles aroused little more at the
time than amused smiles and condem-
nation Of the putting into practice the
idea Of some sociological enthusiast,
but the results attained have vindicat-
ed the theories of the original sup
porters Of the movement and also at
tracted the attention of every person
interested in the uplift.
Los Angeles proved that often the
INDECENT criminal was more sinned
against than SHINING" and that in the
past many persons, guilty Of no great
er crime than poverty, has been rail-
roaded to prison, not through any in
dividual prejudice on the part Of the
Judge trying the case, but due to OBJ
solete system which provided for the
appointing Of youthful and generally
inexperienced lawyer just out Of
school to defend the accused. The re-
suit was always a foregone conclusion
with the young lawyer matched against
an able and experienced lawyer, back
ed by the machinery Of his powerful
office and the prestige Of the state.
The western city has pointed the
way. New York Is following suit.
One by one the daily newspapers and
weekly and monthly magazines are
starting to advocate the proposition.
and before long states and municipali-
ties in every section Of the country
will be endorsing and instituting the
idea.
Interviews with prosecuting attor-
neys in various cities shows that these
officials recognize the necessity Of pro-
viding some other system than the one
now in vogue, and consensus Of opin-
ion is that the creation Of the office Of
Public Defender will work to the bene-
fit Of the community in general, and
incidentally be a money saver.
Statistics show that nearly every
city Of any size appropriates yearly
greater sum Of money for the payment
Of lawyers appointed to defend indi-
gent prisoners than would be needed to
pay the salary and office expenses Of a
first class man.-Anderson Intelligen-
Ger.

improvement Of Waasland which in
less than a century has been trans
formed from the most sterile to the
most fertile region in Belgium. The

in the town. About 10000 people make
their homes there.
Sambor-A Galician town, in the
large plain Of the Dniester, 43 miles
southwest Of Lemberg and 160 miles

is about 10000 and it's inhabitants are
engaged in the manufacture and
bleaching of linen and the making Of
salt. The town has considerable trade
in grain and other agricultural pro-
ducts. Lofty mountains are not far to
the south.

Famous Ships RecaIled-The Ger
man cruiser Emden appears to be to
the British government what the Con-
federate cruiser Alabama was to the
Federal government as a menace tc
commerce on the high seas, and SINH
larly the German cruiser Karlsruhe to
the Confederate cruiser Florida. There
will be a slight difference, probably in
one respect. The final overhauling
the German cruisers will be a shorter
task and a less difficult one than in
the case Of the Confederate vessels.
Those grim old Confederate privateers

silk worm spins dts COCOON and the
American manufacturer weaves this
thread into fabric, which is afterward
nodded into gowns for American women.
will be shown in an exhibit in the
Palace Manufactures at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition. and
the finished product will be worn by
scores of beautiful models on a prom
enade in the palace.
First will be shown the worms in
their cases actually spinning the CO.
coons. and then the method of killing
them so they will not break a strand
In the next booth workers will catch
up the filaments Of the cocoon on a
fine brush and wind them through an
eyelet into reels of continuous thread
from 100 to 1000 yards in length.
These skeins will then be passed along
t6 the next booth. in which the weavers
make the silk fabric, and the cloth
will be shown in its various stages Of
development.
Public To View Work.
The finished product will be given to
a department Of modistes who will
measure. cut and fit it upon young
women in full sight OF the public.
At the end of the exhibit hall will
be a long promenade where scores of
models wearing the latest modish
gowns, may be seen.
Rapid progress Is being made in the
construction of the interior courts Of
the main group of exhibit palaces.
Pile foundations now are being laid
for the court Of the universe. the CEN
trail court Of the exposition. Founda-
tions also are being laid for the tower
Of jewels, which will mark the southern
approach to the main court.
The court of the four seasons. west
of the central court. now Is well unoer
way, and work has begun on the court
OF palms and the court Of flowers. two

anenomes and crocuses now marx the
successful completion of a series OF In
teresting experiments to determine
whether flowers can be made to bloom
in time for the opening OF the expo
sition on February 20. 1915.
These flowers were included in the
first seasonal planting planned to I'LL
the exposition flower beds which are to
contain blooming flowers during the Sn-
tire exposition period. 1t was found
that the flowers would have to be plant
ed before the usual time in order TO
have them bloom in time for the open
ing. Landscape engineers planted u
hundred each at the necessary time
with the satisfying result that all Were
blooming on February 20 of this year.
A Novel Amusement.
Seated within the bodies OF huge
moths, flies and other insects, visitors
to the exposition may enjoy the novel
sensation Of flying about a gigantic
candle 10 feet high.

Thirst for Keg of Beer,
In Lake for Is Years

FORT LEAVENWORTH. Kan, April
THE soldiers here are patiently wait
ing for Merritt lake to be drained.
when they will make a dash for the bed
of the lake to hunt for keg Of beer
accidentally lost fifteen years ago by
a party Of fishermen when their boat
capsized.
An old sergeant Of the Fifth Cavalry
is authority for the statement that the
beer was dropped in the lake. He was
here at the time.
The lake is being drained to enable
workmen to build a retaining wall and
clean the bottom. after which the sur
roundings will be made into park.
This, however. has nothing to do with
the soldiers, as they are anxious 10
obtain the keg Of beer. Some are pian-
ming to pitch a tent near the lake When
It is about emptied SO as to be on hano
for the 'keg party
