Board of Trade indorses Atlanta for a
regional reserve bank
r. :. Scott, manager of the Atlanta
branch of the Ford Motor Company
has written this letter to the joint
committee:
Permit me to offer my congratuA
tons to yon for the gallant fight yol
are making to secure regional bank
for Atlanta. In my opinion, Atlanta
is the logical point.
The company of which | am man
ager here has a branch here which
embraces Georgia, Florida, parts oI
South Carolina and Tennessee. You
have perhaps seen in the newspa pcrs
that our company intends in the neal
future to erect an assembling plan
here which will very materially i'll
crease our business in this territory
In fact we believe 1t will be one OF
the largest manufacturing plants
south of the Mason and Dixon line.

MOURNING MASS
IN n. !. GHETTO
MOB POLICE
Tens Of Thousands, at Funeral Of
Stage Hero, Attack Guards
in Grief and Fury.

NEW YORK, Feb 6.--One of the
most remarkable demonstrations in
the history of New York, in which the
play of human emotions ran from
grief to blind rage, occurred here to-
day in connection with the funeral
OF Sigmund Mogulesko, a Jewish CO.
median and the idol Of the Yiddish
stage
Tens Of thousands Of Jews gath
cred at No. los Second avenue, where
the funeral services were conducted
and stood in the street with barred
heads while the rabbi chanted the
funeral rites inside. Tens Of thous-
ands of others attracted by the enor-
nous crowd, Joined the throng and
soon all the streets IN that section Of
the Ghetto were damned by silent,
mourning mass of humanity
When the corpse was carried from
the house the crowds broke through
the lines marked by forty policemen
and. with cries of grief, struggled
around the hearse.
In vain did the policemen attempt
to open a lane for the pallbearers. A
call was sent for reserves and a de-
tachment Of mounted policemen
dashed up.
The attempts OF the policemen to
push hack the weeping men and wo-
men enraged the mourners Cries of
grief changed to howls of rage. The
mob rolled against the foot and
mounted policemen in an irresistible
wave, brushing them back After a
fierce struggle in which scores were
dubbed, lane was opened through
Second avenue and the funeral car
riages were enabled to proceed.

WITH THRIFT SOCIETY
France and Other Nations Will Par
dcipate in Congress at Frisco to
Discuss Living Cost.

+ France and other nations Of Europe.
without regard to the duration Of the
present war or its consequences will
send financial experts to San Francisco
to participate in the deliberations Of the
International Congress OF thrift on the
high cost Of living and It's remedy.
This fact was made known to the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations by
Simon W. Straus, Of Chicago, president
Of the American Society for Thrift. in
formal statement to the committee
made public here yesterday. The head
Of the Thrift Society appeared before
Senator Martin. chairman Of the COM
mittee. to urge the passage OF the Sen
ate bill. which appropriates $4,000 for
the expenses Of foreign delegates to the
International Congress of Thrift at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition next April.
That the direct results OF the European
war will put this nations economics to
a severe test and that the consequences
of American eXtravagance will now, as
never since our own civil war, prove a
great national weakness, are some Of the
arguments advanced by Mr.. Straus in
his plea for the appropriation which, will
gain for the Thrift Congress expert coun-
sci from the European nations who are
depending on national and individual
thrift to recuoerate from the effects Of
the present appallingly expensive conflict
