by Rev. M, Filipi in the Society
hall Sunday evening, was we'll at
tended and the audience very att
tentiyely followed the speaker in
,his narrative of the conditions in
Bohemia when the European war
broke out. j. A. Dvorak, who
presided, before introducing the
speaker, remarked that while in
Europe millions of armed men are
driven like cattle to slaughter;
hundreds of cities. priceless his
torical objects and places are de-
stroyed and devastated; hundreds
of thousands of women and child
rem are deprived of their natural
protector; where want, woe, desti=
tuition, despair and death alone
are triumphant, we in America,
enjoying blessings and prosperity,
cannot halt this gratest crime re-
corded in the annals of humanity.
We can, however, mitigate the
suffering of those martyrs in send
ing food and other aid. He poin-
the out that Bohemia in this war
is not fighting for her own prin-
ciples and ideals, but her best
manhood is forced at the point of
a bayonet, to fight for the ideals
of its oppresors and conquerors
the Germans.
He then introduced the speaker, ]
Rev. Fihpi who narrated the heart
rending scenes when the order for
mobilizasion was given. Fathers
of families forcibly taken from
their loved ones; fathers and mo-
theirs, bent in age, being deprived
of their only support in the twi-
light of life, bidding farewell to
their sons; little children calling to
their fathers not to leave them and
mamma alone, and in, their inno-
cent minds wondering why those
tear stained faces and abject mise
ry everywhere. He pointed out
how the regiments composed of
Bohemians and other Slavs had
been sent first to the front where
they were annibilated while the
Germanic and Hungarian regi-
ments followed or remained in a
safe distance; how the Austrian
fed them with rotten
-four and food furnished by UNI
principled and. INSCRIPTIONS Jews
(who by the way are among the Sc
lect in Austria) and the soldiers
forbidden to complain because of
this under penalty of incarcera-
tion. How in Germany, upon his
return, every American was treat
ed with every consideration and
even offered money, if in need, by
the authorities and for this reques
ted to speak we'll of Germany in
America. At the conclusion of his
speech, Mr.. Filipi in spirited
words paid tribute to the Star
Banner, emblem of liber
ty, under which all men are equals
where laws are made by the peo-
pie and not by kings or kaisers.
Mr.. Filipi spoke fully an hour
and held during all of this time
the attention of his hearers who
accepted his efforts with gratitude.
The proceeds amounted to $33. rs
and will be used for the benefit of
the sufferers in Bohemia.

PRISONERS FLEE IN MOTOR
Three Men Force JaiIer Into Cell at
Tulsa, Ok, and Make Their
Escape.

Tulsa, Ok.-Harry Wells, a motor
1ous gunman, and two 19-year-old
boys, under 5-year sentence for burg
larry, escaped from the Tulsa county
Jail after forcing the jailer, Walter
Large, at the point of an automatic
pistol, into the cell they had vacated.
After getting out of the. jail they
jumped in a waiting motor car and
drove away. No trace OF them since
the car was seen leaving the city,
has been found.
The escape occurred at the supper
hour. AS the jai1er started to leave
the cell occupied by Wells and the
two boys one of the prisoners thrust
a stick in the doorway in such a man
ner that the lock would not catch.
Wells produced the automatic pistol
and covering the guard forced him to
hand over the keys to the prison and
step inside the cell. The trio then
rushed down the three flights of
stairs leading to the street, climbed
into the car.

How many male and female ances-

that you should have a father and

human beings. Again, each of them
must have had father and mother,

Blood" Harry Horrowitz) and three
other gunner under sentence to the
chair for the murder of Herman Ro-
senthal, friends of the gang have not
given up hope that they may escape

Giynn had wired the rabbis that
their pleas would be futile, but they
decided to make them anyhow.
Five Jewish clergymen, led by DR..
Jacob Goldstein, chaplain of the New
York Tombs, went to Albany to make
a final appeal for the lives of the four
gunner. With them travelled attor-
neys and relatives of the condemned
men The party was hastily orga-
nized after word came from the state
capital that Governor Glynn had re-
fused the gunner a reprieve. Their
mission was failure.

BANKS BY OCTOBER
Reserve Organization Commit
tee Takes Steps to Hurry
Matters Along.
NOTICES ALREADY SENT OUT
As Preliminary Move $4,000, 900 Must
Be Subscribed in Each District
only 80 Days Allowed.

Washington, D. C.-Every effort will
be eXerted by the federal reserve bank
organization committee to have all
banks expedite the formal steps yet
necessary to put the new currency
system in operation.
Members of the committee appar-
emily have no expectation that there
will be any financial crisis to face re-
curing the assistance to banks which
the reserve system will provide, but
they are particularly anxious to have
the twelve reserve banks in the field
when crop moving time comes next
fall. They hope to be able at that
time to demonstrate how easily and
quickly the reserve system will take
care Of situation which in previous
years has caused financial worry and
which last fall led to direct loans from
the United States treasury to nation
al banks in the farming regions.
The committee has worked at full
speed on it's part of the preliminary
work, and the formal notice has been
sent to the 7,54S banks which ask en-
trance to the system, of the location
of reserve banks, and the limits of
reserve districts. With the notices
will go blanks ON which banks must
apply for subscriptions for stock in
the respective reserve banks. Thirty
days are allowed for banks to make
the first payment of the required per
cent of their capital and surplus.
AS soon as banks in any one dis
trict have subscribed the 100000
capital necessary for a reserve bank
the succeeding steps of the organiza-
tion will be promptly taken. The re-
serve bank will be given a charter
and the member banks will exercise
their right to elect six of the nine di-
rctors CT eacl4 reserve bank
Officials here were interestd in
what limitations may be placed upon
clearing house associations through
the new system.
Secretary McAdoo announced the
reserves of the direct loans to banks
at crop moving time last fall Treas
ury funds were deposited in 1913 banks
in sixty-two cities in twenty-eight
states, to the amount of S37,3S6, 900.
The last of the loans were repaid by
April 1, the limit set by the treasury.
The government received as interest
at per cent a total of S26O,0O0, repre-
senting clear profit

was mistaken for a defender of Mr..
Spurgeon, and before his identity was
esta bEshed he had been thrown to
the street, sustaining painful injuries.
The police responded promptly to the
call for help and before the mob could
lay hands upon Mr.. Sturgeon squad

ing into the crowd swinging their
clubs, they rescued the speaker from

BANK SITES ARE APPROVED
President Wilson Believes Choice Was
Made After Close and Careful
Study by Board.

Washing ton.-Although specifically
stating that the selection of the
twelve regional reserve cities had
been none of his business and that he
had made no suggestions, President
Wilson gave his unqualified approval
to the choices announced by the or
ganization committee of the federal
reserve board.
The President said he knew the or
ganizatiton committee had fairly con-
sidered the facts upon which their
choices were based and he knew they
acted upon their study of actual con-
ditions of financial exchange. The
President added that from the statis-
tics he had seen, he believed the
twelve banks organization would
make a solid structure.
Mr.. Wilson still is considering eli
gibles for the federal reserve board,
but has made no selections.
