quandary.
The offending saloon keepers SELL
ing the liquor were convicted, but be.
cause of their mistake sought to have
Willis N. Birdsall, an Iowa lawyer,
get clemency for them. AS an out
come, Birdsall was indicted on a
charge of alleged offering of brides
to Thomas 2. Brents and Everett r.
Van Vert, special officers of the In
terror Department for the suppression
of the liquor traffic with the Indians,
and Brents and Van Vert were indict-
ed or charges of alleged acceptance
of these brides.
The Iowa court quashed the indict-
ments on the ground that no act Of
Congress conferred upon the Interior
Department any duty in regard to the.
recommendation Of clemency.
The validity Of the indictments was
urged in the supreme court about. a
week ago. The court has restored the
case to the docket for reargument, os-
tensibly because the court was divided
4 to 4 on the legal questions involved.

RESERVE DISTRICT
MISSOURI TO GULF
THIS MAS PLEA OF BANKERS
HEARD AT ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis.-Plans for a regional
bank district, embracing the Lower
Mississippi Valley from the northern
border of Missouri to the Gulf of Mex
leo and extending as far west as West
ern Kansas and Western Texas and
as far east as Eastern Kentucky and
Southern Indiana, were presented at
the federal reserve bank hearing here.
It was urged by men who appeared
before Secretaries McAdoo and Hous-
ton that st. Louis be made the center
of this district, but on this point the
witnesses were not unanimous, some
saying the banks Of their towns pre-
ferred to be in a district Of which
Kansas City was the center.
o. H. Leonard, a Tulsa, Okla, bank.
er, said bankers Of Tulsa were espe-
cially anxious that Tulsa be not at
tached to a district having its center
in Texas or Denver.
Suppose a regional bank were estabr
lished in st. Louis and a branch Of
that bank in Kansas City, would that
be satisfactory" asked Secretary Nc
Adoo.
yes. answered. Mr.. Leonard.
Sterling Fort, of GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
said GAINESVILLE bankers preferred first
that their regional bank be located IN
Louisville, KY, or Nashville, and sec
ond in st. Louis. He explained that
GAINESVILLE was in the center OF the
tobacco belt, that the tobacco crop
usually is handled in December, Jan
uary and February and that it was
desirable that GAINESVILLE be embraced
in a district all parts Of which would
not want money at the same time.
S. s. Faulkner, a banker Of Helena,
Ark, asked that Helena be included

eral muffled explosions, but paid nj
particular attention to the noise.
The bandits entered the bank build
ing by picking the lock on a rear door.
They hammered the combination Of
the steel vault door until it was flat
tened. Nitroglycerin vas then plas-
tered along the steel casing of the
vault door and the stuff set off.
All efforts to reach the cash proved
unayailing, and the robbers proceeded
to empty their revolvers into the glass

shots brought out several citizens,
who reached the bank in time to see
four men riding away on horseback.

Baton Rouge.-As the result of a
visit of a large delegation from AS
cension parish to Governor Hall the
Atchafalaya and Lafourche levee
boards will make plans and have esti-
mates secured for the construction
Of the Bayou Lafourche locks. Steps
to this end will probably be taken at

but by it the board is not committed
to an early plan for the construction
Of the locks.
R. N. Sims and Walter Lemann. of
Donaldsonville, were the spokesman
for the delegation that appeared be-.
fore Governor Hall. They insisted that
some steps be taken at once to have
the plans drawn, and to get some fig
ures on the cost of the work. The
United States government, they
thought, might at any time require the,
removal of the dam across Bayou La
fourche, which the government allow
ed constructed as a temporary relief
measure, with the understanding that
it was 10 come down and locks later
built.
Victor NJ. Lefebvre and J. A. Humph-
reys, of the Atchafalaya levee board,
We're present. They said that the
board was willing to build the locks,
but that it did not have the money
at this time to begin the task, and had
a higher obligation to perform in the
building of the lsvees for the proteo
