engineers as counsel read into the
record the case Of j. G. Conklin, a
railroad employe OF Tucson, Ariz.
Conklin's friends wanted him to run
for sheriff, Stone said, but he was
compelled to withdraw when he re-
coivcd a letter from a superior stating
that if he desired the office he must
resign from the road. He spoke of
another case where Southern Pa

pointed out that this road prides itself

that the railroads had been criticised

Matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1l.-HoW far

80 for the present In exercising the
function Of clearing house associations
WAS discussed today by the governors
OF the banks and the federal reserve
board.
Although no marked difference of
opinion exists between the governors
and tho board, 1t was "Ointcd out that
many Of the big banks in clearing
house associations in large cities were
not anxious 20 see this function cXCr-
Cised by the reserve banks
ON the other hand, some members
OF the board insist that one of tho
ends med at I'm the reserve act was
free clearances through reserve banks
and that the debates in congress
showed that II was the evident pur-
pose to break up alleged domination
~ the comparatively few men in con
troll OF the clearing house associations
over the smaller banks.
It was decided today, however, that
Tor the present the reserve banks shall
clear only checks OF member banks
in their particular districts. The
question OF clearances for outside
lanks was turned over to commit
tee Of five governors, which Will re-
port to the board next month. The
board has the power to direct clear

FLEECED TWO FOREIGNERS
Fake Employment Agency Man Held
by Police.

Martain George, probably one Of the
shrewdest grafters who ever made 1t
his business to fleece" people who
were already practically without
funds, is now being detained In the
city bastile The charge against
George Is that of investigation for the
present. but he will probably face a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. when the proof has been
compiled.
He was accustomed to meet for
eigners as soon as they got off the
train in Tulsa and ask them If they
needed work. They. as a rule. would
tell him that was just what they came
for and then the trick was ready TO
work. He would tax these unfortu-
nate unemployed newcomers CON
siderable amount to help them obtain
work and then most frequently fail
to do 50, according to charges brought
against him by two foreigners who ap-
piled to the police for justice.
Detectives, having only partial
description of the man. were forced
TO be very careful In making the ar
rest but located him at the Frisco
depot. waiting for a train, at 10
O'Clock Thursday night.

URGE WESTERN FACTORIES
Make Goods in Home of the Raw Ma
terinl.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 1.-Extended
development Of manufacturing in the
United States, and especially in the
middle west, was advocated by Dr.
Henry Jackson Waters, president Of
the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, in an address before the Knife
and Fork club here tonight.
Large expectations OF manufactured
products are much more desirable
than raw materials. he pointed out
But before We can obtain our due
trade IN a foreign country" DR. Wat
crs said, I'VE must learn to speak the
language of the people, and must, at
least, pretend to Ike their kind OF
government and not be perpetually
making comparisons which reflect on
their country.
Trade must be acquired gradually.
When the Americans took charge in
the Philippines they attempted to in
troduce the gang pillow, the self binder
and the steam thresher Fifteen
years experience has taught us TO
swallow our pride and watch the
Filipino tramp rice with his feet, cut
II with sickle and use a little one
handled plow that turns a furrow a
little broader than his hand. But we
make and sell that plow to him."
The middle west az manufactur-
ing center WAS urged by DIR. Waters
because, he said, 81 per cent OF the
raw material used IN manufacturing
In the United States comes from the
farm. He enumerated about forty
types OF manufacturing suitable to the
middle west
