l907-much of this great sum is out In
call loans. When a crash comes, 1T was
argued, the small banks are likely to
find themselves unable to get their
reserve funds from these cities. 1t was
largely TO cure such a condition it was
said, that the districts were designed
to be as nearly alike in capitalization
of reserve banks as possible, with the
idea that there shall be no such con-
centration OF reserves in the future,
The charge that the committee was
playing politics in it's selection was met
tonight with the assertion that If poll
tics had been factor the committee
would have been inclined to give a
bank to Lincoln, Neb., the home Of Sec
retary Bryan; to Louisville, where Sena-
tor Jones was anxious to see one To-
Gated, and to Denver, favored by Sena-
tor Shafroth, who gave aid TO the ad
ministration in the fight for the cur
rency act in congress.
No formal protests against the com
mittee's selections reached the treas
ury today, but several kilograms were
received from commercial organizations
and business men in cities which failed
to get banks, commencing the commit
tee g choice.

EXCUSE OF DEFENDERS

WASHINGTON, April members
of the reserve bank organization con-
tinued silent today, although criti-
cism of their selection of reserve cities
and their division of the country into
banking districts was still heard in
congress.
No official explanation was forth
coming in defense Of the committee 3

here was that some Of the criticism
has political tinge Defenders of the
committee said tonight that no matter
who had been charged with the re-
sponsinility OF setting up reserve dis
lricts, they would have reached funda-
mentally the same conclusion as the
committee,
Apparently the most vigorous crit.
cism has been directed toward the

was said, however, by those familiar
with the committees deliberations
that the trend of trade from the south

quence Atlanta is more strategically

Poll of Banks Taken.
In defense of Richmond it was ar
gued that closer business relations
with the south prevail there than in
Baltimore or Washington.
One fact that was brought out to-
night was that n poll of all the ma
tional banks which had signified their
intention of entering the system was
taken into consideration In naming the
cities. In each district but one, a ma
iority of the banks favored those
chosen by the committee as q reserve
center.
Some surprise was expressed at the
critics who dwelt upon the fact that
the New York district does not in
clude jersey City and Newark and
some nearby Connecticut points. It
was recalled tonight, however, that
the fact that these cities are put in
the Philadelphia or Boston district will
not prevent their having about the
same relations with banks in New
York as at present. About the only
difference will be that their reserve
funds will not be kept in New York
In this connection it was said that

chanced to get in the animals way,
and the road being only wide enough

GoLT-oF-ooocs ROMANCE.
Pine-Board Ncte Led to Romance
Ending in Marriage.


A pretty international romance
which recently eliminated in the
marriage of Miss Netta Belmont of
Lowell, Mass, and Francisco de la
Pena, of Puebla Mexico, is the Lrin-
cipal topic in this beautiful noun
tain city of Mexico.
Mrs. Pena is the daughter of a
mill superintendent in Lowell. In
the factory were made various grades
or cotton goods. Miss Belmont often
made silent wishes to herself that
she could take some of the long trips
on which the bolts of goods were
going. One day, three years ago, in
a spirit of fun. she wrote upon the
smooth pine board upon which a bolt
OF goods was about tc be wrapped,
these words:
"oh, l am so very, very lonely;
please do write me letter. Meta
Belmont, S061 Mulberry street, Low,
ell, Mass"
This bolt found its way to = large
dry goods store in Fuebla owned by
the Pena family. Francisco de la
Pena, son of the principal owner of
the establishment, had just measured
on the last piece of goods from the
bolt when his attention was attracted
to the inscription upon the pine
board. In his room that night he
wrote a letter to the young lady who
had sent the appeal to this remote
part of the continent 1t led to an
uninterrupted correspondence, the de-
cision on the senor's part to learn
English, and on the Yankee girls
part to learn Spanish.
Then came the marriage proposal.
Miss Belmon'ts father objected strong
ly to the match. Accompanied by his
father, the long trip from Puebla to
Lowell was made several months
ago. The senior Pena and his son
were received at the home of Miss
Belmont's parents and the couple
there for the first time met each
other. and the objection of Mr.. Bel
mont to the marriage was quickly
overcome

VICTIMzEU 30 CORPORATIONS
Woman Sued Railroad Companies
for Damages She Did Not
Receive


Wala Wala, Wash..-Maud Myrtle
Johnson. the Queen of Fakirs," is
back in the State penitentiary here,
peeling potatoes. That Is the job the
champion accident victim will have
until her five-year term ends.
Maud Myrtle Johnson once escaped
conviction by her wonderful acting be-
fore jury and once she was paroled
after having been sent to the peniten.
tiary, by pretending that she was near
death on account Of a physical break
down. But the game that had won
her 100000 and had defrauded many
big corporations lured her on and an
ally "got" her.
What was the game? It consisted of
receiving Serious injuries in acci-
dents and then suing for damages.
The Queen of Fakirs" could dislocate
her ankles, knees and even a rib, at
will. Her chest was malformed. She
had learned how to make blood run
from her mouth whenever she wished.
1t is said that the Johnson woman
has victimized fully thirty public SER
vice corporations. She wouIc take a
chance with death by falling in front
Of street cars and no matter whether
she was hurt or not she was able to
make good case of damages against
the company. On railroad trains she
would put up her suitcase so it would
fall when the train lurched and then
she would tell, in a husky voice and
amid means, how the heavy case had
struck her on the chest. The COM
panies tried to prove she was crook
but they could not show she was not
injured and she won. After one Of her
court victories the very train that was
carrying her away gave lurch. The
familiar suitcase was in the aisle. She
trtpped over it when the train stopped
at the little town of Yacolt, Wash.
The claim agent was properly impress
ed. He was more than glad to settle.
He paid her 1880 in cash, and was a
much hurt young nan when he re-
ported to the main Office and was told
that he had been swindled
That time she was captured and was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary
But she interested sympathetic per-
sons who believed she was seriously
i'll and she was paroled. A few weeks
later a woman was picked up on the
platform of a railroad station at
Blaine. Wash. She said she had been
injured on train. She complained of
pains in her chest. She spat blood.
Her voice was husky. She gave anoth-
er name. but was speedily identified.
And so Maud Myrtle Johnson Is
back in the penitentiary doing five-
year term.
