fcdcraI Reserve Board Gives Assent
10 1'rinciplc of st. Louis Scheme for
Loan Fund of $15O,OOO, 900 to Meet
Crisis I'm America.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The federal
reserve board tonight announced it's
approval, in principle, of the plan for
Il $l5O,OOO,OOO loan fund to take care
or the surplus cotton crop.
doV. Hamlin Of the board, in a let
eter TO Festus J. Wade of st. Louis.
one OF the hackers of the plan, said
whlie the board could not express it,
SELF upon details, it was of the opinion
that the just administration of such =
luhd would benefit those Interested
ana the rest of the nation as we'll. He
expressed the hope that banks and
merchants would subscribe. His letter
follows:
"Th~ federal reserve board has
given careful consideration to your
suggestion that the fund of $15O,OOO,-
ooo be raised by subscription from
panks' trust companies, bankers and
merchants for the purpose of render
ing assistance to the cotton growers
ana merchants Of the United States
until the present abnormal conditions
caused by the European war have
been terminated and normal condi-
tiOns restored.
i am directed by the board to state
to You that, while it can not, very
naturally, express itself upon the de-
tails of the plan as to personnel of
management. commissions, interest
rates, etc., it is Of the opinion that
the raising Of such a fund of the
amount indicated and it's administra-
ton justly and fairly. upon reasonable
terms and conditions, would go far to-
wards the restoration Of normal con-
ditions and would rebound to the
benefit, not only of those interested
in the production and manufacturing
of cotton. but as we'll to the entire
people Of the country.
I'VE note with qualification your as
surance that large number Of South
ern banks and commercial firms have
also already signified their willing
ness to contribute to such fund, and
your expression Of confidence that the
entire amount will be subscribed.
"The problem involved is not local
1T is national, and as we'll, inter-
national in its score and Importance
and we express the hope that sub
scriptiOns to such a fund will be made
by banks, trust companies and mer-
chants throughout the country"

BITTER PASSAGE IN HOUSE.
iEtLlN AND MANN IN PERSONAL
CONTROVERSY.
Alabamian DcnOunccs Illinois Member
as Liar After Latter Insults Him
Openly.

washington, oct. 1O.-Bitter per-
sonal attacks were exchanged in the
mousse today between Representative
Mann, minority leader, and Represcn-
tative Helm Of Alabama during dis
cussion OF Il woman suffrage amend
ment offered by Mr.. Mann to the
Philippine independence bill. In the
neat OF debate Mr.. Heflin called MIR.
Mann a liar and the latter charged
that the Alabama member had made
a speech in the house against suf-
frage which was an insult to woman
hood.
After strenuous debate, which for
a moment seemed to threaten a ply
sical encounter. portion Of Repre-
sentative Mann's remarks was or
dered expunged from tn, record by a
vote Of 1852 to 66. The matter or
dered expunged was q remark made
by the minority leader when Repre-
sentative Helm recalled speech
Mr.. Mann had made two years ago at
the time Of the suffrage parade in
washington when girl was insulted.
Mr.. Helm declared that Mr.. Mann
had insisted the young woman should
have remained at home.
II thought it was better for the
young girl to be at home than in that
parade said Mr.. Mann III reply, "for
fear the gentleman from Alabama
should have seen her. He would
have been sure to insult her."
Uproar followed this remark by the
minority leader, Representative Jones
OF Virginia joining with Representa-
tive HELM in demanding accurate re-
cording Of the statement.
II repudiate that statement" said
MIR. Helm excitedly. 1T Is that Of
man unworthy of a seat on this floor.
The statement is without foundation
and unjustified from any source"
After the remark had been expung-
cd from the record debate followed
on the Mann amendment which
would provide suffra sc for women in
the Philippines an( in this a colloquy
occurred between the Illinois and
Alabama members during which Rep
resentative Helm declared:
