WIMONA ASSEMBLY SUEC

Chautauaua Programme.

indianapolis. July efforts Of cred
itors of the Winona Assembly to settle
the financial difficulties of the institu-
ton resulted in the filing OF petition
in involuntary bsnruptcy against the
assembly in the Federal Court here
Yesterday. This threatens TO throw the
immense Presbyterian Church property
ut Winona into the hands of receiver.
Creditors have claims against the as
sembly of about sol 900. The total debt
is 00000.
The action was taken to prevent the
proposed reorganization, favored by a
majority Of the creditors, whereby the
assembly would be permitted 20 con-
tnue the summer Chautauqua pro-
granm6s. William J. Bryan. Secretary
of State, is director in the assembly.
If the property can be sold. so that
the smaller creditors can be paid. the
larger creditors will accept 100000
raised recently by Mr.. Bryan and 5. c.

and the two hotels.
Most of tho creditors believe that a
continuance OF the summer Chau.auqra
programmes is necessary 10 enable the
assembly eventually TO pay all its debts.

Senate Committee Hest
tates at Approving Them
for Reserve Board.
NEW YORKER ONLY
3 YEARS CITIZEN
Both Likely to Have Opportunity
to Explain-Three Other
Nominees IndOrsed.

Washington. July >. A closer scru-
tiny of the qualifications OF Thomas
ID. Jones. Of Chicago. and Paul NJ. War
burg. of New York, for membership on
the Federal Reserve Board will be
made by the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency. which ordered
favorable report to-day on the noml-
nations Of Charles S. Hamlin, ". P. e..
Harding and Adolph c. Miller.
At a prolonged session the committee
decided to ask Mr.. Jones to appear on
Monday TO explain his connection with
the international Harvester Company
and other business interests. The at
titude of the committee indicated that
Mr.. Warburg also would be asked to
appear
Whether or not the committee re-
ports the two contested nominations
favorably, there is almost certain TO be
a fight on them when they are taken
up in the Senate. Even Democratic
Senators were disposed to-day TO look
more carefully into the business rela-
tons of the two men before COM
hitting themselves.
The letter of President Wilson CIV
ing assurances that Mr.. Jones had only
one share OF stock in the Harvester
company. the directorate OF which he
entered TO reform the organization,
and that he was devoted TO Democratic
ideals, evidently has proved insufficient
&c convince the members of the Sem
ate committee of his fitness for mem
bership on the board. When Mr.. Jones
appears he will be asked about the part
he has played in the affairs Of the
Harvester Trust, and. probably, about
his connections with business organi-
cations said to be in control of the
zinc industry.
The misgivings in Mr.. Warburg's
case grow principally out Of the fact
that he has been citizen OF the
United States. for only three years, and
that he still maintains foreign business
connections. His co-psrtner, Otto H.
Kahn, Of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co..
was a candidate for the English Parlia-
ment a short time ago.
Some members of the Banking and
Currency Committee take the view
that Mr.. Warburg's appointment savors
too much not only Of Wall Street but
Of foreign bourses, and object TO his
affiliations with Kuhn. Loeb & Co. II
is probable that Mr.. Warburg will be
asked to explain his business connec-
tons before the committee. and there
is a suspicion that he will sacrifice the
appointment rather than do so.
The fact that all of the nominees
for the Federal Reserve Board are
Democrats will also be made much Of
in the Senate. where the Republicans
will undoubtedly lay stress upon the
failure of the administration to make
the financial tribunal non-partisan
institution.

Washington. July 2.-Secretary BRYAN
and members Of Congress who forsaHe

mending his m aasurp and insisting that
Congress should take steps to keep its
members and other government OH

There can be no argument against
