burg, member of the banking firm of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., has accepted the
presidents tender of position on
the federal reserve board. Ex-Secre-
tary of State Richard Olney Of Bos-
ton has declined the chairmanship,
however, forcing the president to a
revision of the entire list upon which
he had tentatively decided. The men
the president is believed to have de-
cided upon are: Vice President Har-
ry A. Wheeler of the Union Trust
Company, Chicago; President W. P.
G. Harding of the First National
Bank of Birmingham, Ala; Adolph
C. Miller of San Francisco, formerly
professor of economics in the Uni
versity of California, now assistant
secretary of the interior. 1t is be-
lieved certain Miller and Wheeler will
accept. Warburg or Harding prob
ably will be chairman. The positions

The invitation was withdraw upon
Carranza's failure to accept. The
mediators are inclined to blame the
Washington administration for Car
ranza's attitude, holding if proper
pressure had been brought through
the American consuls in northern
Mexico he would have acceded.
Secretary Daniels is angry today
at the circulation of reports that the
navy was restless for battle.
"The navy is ready for fight" he
said, "but it's primary duty is to keep
peace. The stories of the men that
they are anxious for war are just
as bad as stories would be to the
effect that they would refuse to
fight if duty demanded"

Senator Stone on Canal Tolls.
uTnited Press Day Service)


Washington, May 5.-Chairman
Store of the foreign relations COM
mittee voiced in the Senate a new
viewpoint of the Panama Canal tolls
situation. He said America has
right to exempt her vessels if she de-
sires, but that the government has
gone far enough in making declar-
alton to this effect and that Con-
gress should now repeal the exem-
ption clause. He defended the presi-
dent and condemned the 'lurid flab-
bergast'' of hostile newspape".
Stones speech occupied time set aside
today for tolls debate.
After asserting that the Baltimore
platform did not pledge the Demo-
cratic party to subsidies, Stone de-
clared that Congress wisely passed
the bill exempting American ships
from tolls and then outlined his view
point. He said:
eff we can't consistently repeal the
coastwise provision because OF WnaC
has happened three years ago or be-
cause of any platform declaration.
we's tied our hands with Gordian
knots. If that is true, then we have
revised our historic position regard
ing subsidies and become the bold
est and most arrogant, uncompromls-
ing advocates of subidy.'
In arraignment of the newspaper
attack on the president, Stone said:
"The job they have undertaken OF
discrediting the administration and
the Democratic party is SO ferociousiy
overdone that their structure of bill
lingsgate and mendacity falls OF its
won weight"

JOHN BARLEYCORN"
AT TULANE FRIDAY

At the Theatre Tulane, one night
only, Friday, May 8, local theatre
goers will enjoy the treat of seeing
Jack London's famous "John Barley

was the sign displayed I'm all the
J big picture show houses of the North
and East Critics pronounce "John
Barleycorn" even better than London's
"Sea Wolf" which was shown to
packed houses everywhere. Bosworth
is the principal actor in this piece,

lowing is a synopsis of the play:

| am normal, average man. To
this day 1 have physical loathing
| for alcohol. Yet to me as to every
man and at every turn John Bar
leycorn has beckoned. All paths led
to him. The first when / was only s."
So begins the story of Jack Lon.
don's encounters with John Barley
corn.
The. picture is unique in that it is
the true story of a mans life, told
by himself, and frankly taking the
audience into his confidence. No man
has ever opened his heart or the
pages of his past more freely than
has Mr.. London in this recital. For
the sake of driving its lesson home
he has been unsparing both in tell
ing of his own conduct and in de-
scribing conditions. And when that
conduct and that lesson relate to so
intimate a side of mans life as
the part drink has played in it, it
is readily conceded that in "John Bar
leycorn" the public is offered a pro-
duction unlike anything it has seen
before.
Six reels tell the story, beginning
with the little chap of five, vino drinks
the beer intended for his father, plow-
ing in the distant field; and ending
with the dramatic fight of the success
full writer Of today against the final
mastery of Barleycorn.
"It is swift and impassioned story
of adventure, drawn with the hard
lines of realism, but lighted with all
the color of romance"
The gruelling factory toll during
childhood; the adventurous life on
San Francisco bay as an oyster pi-
rate; the scenes aboard the sealer
Sophie Sutherland with the "explora-
tion' of the Bonin Islands; the
glimpse of San Francisco's Barbary
Coast; Haydee and her love, the first
inference which led this former news
boy and unlearned seal hunter to-
ward his present position; and, above
all, the part John Barleycorn played
in all this-these are the chief fac
tors in the vivid scenes of the play.
Because Mr.. London does full JUS
tice tc the defenders of Barleycorn' 5
place in society, his final indictemnt
