burglars, rather than of those modern
ones who fear nothing and stop at
nothing. The criminals of bygone
day usually had some sort of a belief
in the hereaftsr-a belief that mad .
them fear death and kept them from
taking human life unless absolutely
driven to it. There remained in the
breast OF nearly every one Of them
some shred of conscience or supersti

is merely sojourn in a hotel, which
may be terminated at any moment or
prolonged for years. The only venge-

be melted out to him on earth. That,
Is why he will commit murder for a

tenn was being hailed by the adminis-
tration as just the thing for the pres
ent emergency, hut a closer study of
conditions has caused doubt in the
minds OF some persons here as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of attempting the change
at this time.
That is one of the questions that
will be considered at an important
conference of bankers that mas been
called To meet at the treasury depart
ment on September 4, The primary
purposes OF the conference will be TO
consider the problem of foreign ex-
change of credits.
Representatives OF the clearing
house association al the federal re-
serve cities and in other reserve cities
which deal in foreign exchange have
been invited TO the meeting.
The chief question to be considered
will be the protection of the gold sup
ply. Apart from the necessity or
meeting the ohligations against the
United States held by Europeans.
which are soon to mature. other diff
lculties are feared with respect to the
gold supply. due to the shifting of the
bank reserve, which will take place
when the federal reserve system Is or
ganized
