The big fur Shake, or Scotch bon
net, that Harry Lauder, who comes
to the Grand on Saturday night
wears for one Of his character songs,
has an interesting history. 1t was
presented to him by Private Alexan-
der Dow, who is one of the survivors
Of the famous Charge of the Light
Brigade" at Balaklava. Private Dow,
who is now past 80 years Of age, was
one of the thin red line" of fighters.
who were distinguished for their
bravery. The only mark that made
their uniform different from the other
red coated soldiers was the small blue
buckle that adorned their bonnets.
The bonnet Lauder wears has the
buckle still attached and is one of the
most cherished of his possessions.
The rest of his military costume
was presented him by the first bat
TALON of the Argyle and Sutherland
Highlanders, and constitutes their
full dress regimentals-all except the
small dagger, or "skeen dhu," which
he wears in his right stocking. This
little weapon was the gift of Pipe
Major MacKay of the Argyle and
Sutherland Highlanders, and was OBJ
tanned by him on the battlefield OF
in South Africa. 1t was found clasped
in the hand of an officer of the "Black
Watch of the 42d Highlanders, who
evidently had used it well in defense
of his life, in a hand-tO-nano cOnHlct

FORMER HARTFORD BOY

The Linotype Bulletin, a period

son of the senior editor of The Her

always proud of his boy and his

records for high speed that Victor
has made in recent years, and he is
getting to be classed among the
swiftest machine operators in the
trade. The Bulletin says:

Washington, April After
three months of consideration the
reserve bank organization committee
announced 1t had divided continent
tai United States into twelve bank
jng districts. and selected twelve
cities where federal banks are to be
located under the new currency law.
This is the first decisive step toward
the establishment of the new sys-
TEN
The banks will be located as fol-
lows: Boston, New York, Philadel-
IpiIia, Cleveland, Richmond, Va,
Atlanta, Chicago, st. Louis, Min
neapois. Kansas City. Dallas, Texas,
San Francisco
Cleveland is the center of bank
ing district No. 4. The capital of
the bank there will be $11,621, 535,
wit h724 national and several State
banks The territory includes the
State of Ohio. parts of ennsylvania
and West Virginia, and all of Ken
lucky East of the West boundary of
the following counties: Boone,

Creary.
District No. s has st. Louis as the
center, with capital of $6,019, 1923,
with 434 national banks. The ter
ritory is Arkansas, part of Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee. Missis-
sippi. and all of Kentucky not in
cluded in district No. 4.
The organization committee was
not>authorized to provide for branch
banks of the federal reserve banks,
but the act specifically states that
such banks shall be established.
This task will be left to the super
vision of the federal reserve board,
yet to be appointed by the Presi-
dent.
The comwittee called attention to
the fact that under the require
ments of the act il could not find
grounds for the establishment of
more than one bank on the Pacific
coast. but hoped in the near future
that Congress would authorize an
other bank which can be located in
this great section.
In supplemental statement the
committee gave out the following
statistics used in determining the
cities and districts

long STRUGGLE ANTICIPATED

Washington, April with the
scene of activity on the issue of
Panama toll exemption repeal shift
ed to the Senate, after the triumph
of the Administration in the House
last week, plans still remain in the
formulative stage for the final strug-
gle IN The great controversy.
Formal consideration of the bill to
repeal toll exemption for American
ships will be taken up Tuesday morn
ing by the Committee on Interocean-
ic Canals, of which Senator O'Gor-
man, leader of the Democratic oppo-
sition, is chairman. Besides the
House bill, upon which President
Wilson and his adherents propose to
stand, the committee will have be-
fore ii various amendments and pro-
posed compromises, and these will
be discussed during the week before
any formal report is made to the
Senate.
While the committee is at work
preliminary discussion of the tolls
subject will continue in the Senate,
various champions and opponents of
the measure having given notice
of their intention to speak during
the week. Leaders in the fight do
not expect speeches to change any
votes, but that there will be food
of oratorical effort which will far en-
coed in length and intensity the
twenty-hour debate on the bill in
the House is conceded.
No one in close touch with the
situation would predict tonight how
long the controversy in the Senate
might continue, but the most opti-
mistic proponents of repeal do not
look for vote for three weeks. The
repeal bill and attendant measures
will be in committee at least a week,
and general debate cannot begin I'M
til some sort of report is made
or motion is offered to discharge
the committee from further consid-
Grafton of the bill. Senators Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, James, of Ken
lucky, and Owen. of Oklahoma, are
to lead the Administration forces in
the contest. From the Republican
side they will be aided by Sena-
tors Root, Lodge and McCumber.
Democratic opposition forces will be
directed by Senators O'Gorman, of
New York; Chamberlain, of Oregon,
and Ashurst. of Arizona. On the
Republican side. Senator Gallinger,
the minority leader. will direct the
opposition to the repeal. and such
stalwarts as Senators Penrose and
Oliver are planning to consolidate
the Republican vote against repeal
insofar as that can be done. Many
ogressive-Republican Senators will
join the opposition. but despite the
formidable array of the anti-Admin-
istration forces, the President and
his supporters retain confidence that
the repeal cause will be upheld.
