QUIZ HOMELESS
MEN ON MURDER
SIovaks Living" in East Side
Stables Deny Trunk Mys-
tary knowledge.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-After their
rounds of the Fast SIDE stables. where
hundreds of homeless Slovaks sleep
in horse stalls and dusty haymows,
the police, who had expected to learn
something of the trunk victim, were
hopeless of progress in clearing up
the mystery of the death of the Slo-
yak whose body was placed in a
trunk and dumped on the sidewalk at
a Pitt street on Monday last
In this stable search it YVES d'scov-
cred that most of the lower East Side
stables are used as temporary shelter
by SlovalSs ont OF a job.
This tour followed a visit to the
morgue yesterday by John Szucho-
vich head hostler of a stable at 139
Mott street. He identified the body
of the man who was known as mo.

Vich said the man was IVAN Martyse-

regional bank to support another in
case of need. They supervise the
issue of the federal bank currency,
and in general supervise and direct
the system.
TO large extent the success or
failure of the new system will depend
upon the abil ty of the men COM
posing the Federal Reserve Board.
If they are conservative and far
sighted, they can do much to prevent
those periods of overexpanding
cred is which result in panics and
the reaction from which brings ruin
to so many 1t is not to be ex-
pected that they will never make mis-
takes or, in fact. that the law as
now VIZ tten will prove to be perfect.
This is q new system. The greatest
ability will be required in working it
out. IT may require changes as it
develops. The present sta ability and
power of the Bank of England is the
result of many years work, and its
laws have seen many changes before
they obtained their present state Of
perfection.
New Issue of Currency.
The act provides for an issue OF a
new kind of currency called Federal
reserve notes. These are issued by
the government through the Federal
Reserve Board to the regional banks,
and by those banks to the indie
pendent local banks. They are Sec
cured by prime commercial paper
eqpal to the face value of the cur
rency, and by a reserve of gold equal
to ~ per cent. of the outstanding
notes; they are also the obligation of
the government.
II is planned that these notes shall
expand or contract in volume in ac-
ccrdance with the needs of business.
Thus they will prevent a currency
fanine such as was seen in 1867.
IT is the intention of the act to grad
ually retire the government bonds
which are used as security for the
present nat onal bank notes and to
eventually do away with that in
elastic and unsclentlfc currency re-
placing 1t with the much more elastic
and sciertific Federal reserve notes
Much OF the commercial success of
Wis country Is due to our system of
dependent local hanks This new
system does not curtail their useful
ness. but puts them in a better and
stronger position to help Their COM
f1unities. The new law will mean
rnuch for the future deve'opment OF
Fur country and the banks viii! I'M
@oU otedly do all in their power to
make ii successful and aid in effect
ing such improvements as experience.

spoke in behalf of educational depart
ments of other States. He said. in
part:
your coming to this office is an
event not only in New York, but an
event in which very many persons
outside are deeply interested What
you do here, the ideals you set up,
your success in their ACCOMPLISH
ment, are not without their effect IN
other and even distant States.
while we lack national system
of education, there are numerous
forces at work for solidarity edu-
cational interests. When one State
gains all may profit. We are conf
dent that today our assets are IN
creased.
"At a time when educational opin-
ion seems to be unsettled, when in
creased responsibilities are being
thrown upon the schools, when the
need of Intelligence in citizenship was
never greater, when the fine faith in
education was never stronger, all the
more is our right to look to New York
the commanding commonwealth, for
leadership. No greater opportunity in
education exists in America than is
yours, sir. This is sober language; at
least. this is the opinion of those OF
us who look on. Ner are we forgetful
CT the fine achievements already made
here.
"Those OF us who wo~'1 in similar
fields believe that you. with yoIr
associates, will make sound and per-
manent contributions to public educa-
ton. In consequence our tasks may
not be easier. but they may be more
intelligently done"
