COTTON LOAN
st. Louis Bankers Draft Plan TO
Loan the Farmers Money on sta
pie; Awaiting McAdoo's Approval.

A plan for raising cotton loan
fund OF $50 million dollars, proposed
by conference of the St. Louis
bankers, was ratified by a deiesation
Of bankers from the cotton growing
state and now awaits only the ap-
proval of Secretary of the Treasury
MaAdoo and the Federal Reserve
Board before It is carried into effect
The plan as approved Gin general
essence" by the nine Southern bank
ers who had been asked by Secre-
tary McAdoo to attend the confer
ence with the ST Louis bankers.
provides for the raising of the fund
by subscription from the state and
national banks, trust companies and
mercantile and manufacturing COM
panies throughout the country
ut must be distinctly understoodv
declares Festus j. Wade, chairman
Of the ST. Louis Clearing House hsrl
sociation, and originator of the plan.
that it is not plan for the purchase
of cotton. 1t is simply movement
to make available a fund Of 150
million dollars TO loan on cotton at
not to exceed six cents per pound
middling basis. The establishment of
this fund will make cotton a LIQUID
asset, stabilize its price and bring
about normal conditions in all lines
of trade"
The amount to be raised by each
financial center is to be apportioned
by the committee at the meeting to
be held within the next few days,
providing the general plan meets
the approval of the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Wade called
a conference of nine st. Louis heads
of mercantile houses and banks and
submitted them his plan for the rails
ing of $50 million dollars to loan on
cotton in the cotton states and the
cotton manufactur gnicesenrt
cotton manufacturing centers.
The plan was thus submitted to
Secretary McAdoo and to the. Fed
eral Reserve Board.
The Southern bankers were invit-
ed to come to st. Louis to discuss the
plan. After an all day session they
sent from st. Louis to Secretary Nc
Adoo the following telegram:
"The plan as laid before you and
the Federal Reserve Board on Fri
day last, to endeavor to raise a cot
ton loan fund of $50 million dollars
today was submitted to the under
signed. After careful consideration
the following resolution was passed
unanimously: sa, m
THAT the plan outlined by Fes-l
tus J. Wade in general essence be
adopted and the details worked out
later. 1t is believed that the South
plan as outlined" y.
will subscribe its portion as suggest
ed and outlined"
Persons who are intimate with the
progress of the plan intimate that
Secretary McAdoo and the Federal
Reserve Board are merely withhold
ing official approval of the plan un-
til the Southern Bankers are heard
from. The proposed pool would fl
nance the movement of million
bales of cotton or a margin above
the estimated surplus crop"

WIDEST SCOPE IN
COMPETITION FOR
FIRE TRUCK BIDS
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor
Visits Metropolitan Cities ON
Inspection Tour
ExPEND $4,000 CITY MONEY
Plan For Bidding Hasn't Been De-
cided Upon-Not Necessarily
to Lowest. Taylor Says

Harrisburgs new motor fire appa-
ratus, for which $4,000 has been
voted. is to be purchased under a
wide-open system of competitive bid
ding, according to NJ. Harvey Taylor.
commissioner of parks and public
property.
The plan that will be followed by
Commissioner Taylor will be along the
same line adopted by Commissioners Of
Public Safety H. F Bowman, who re-
Gently demonstrated its effectiveness
from an economical standpoint.
One of the first problems Commits
sioner Bowman solved was the award
ing of some pipe contracts. He an
nounced that he had had one bidder,
but would follow out a scheme where
by he would readvertise where only
one bid for any material was received.
On the pipe contract alone Commits
sioner Bowman thus saved the city
more than 5000.
Commissioner Taylor has been out
of the city for brief periods recently
and it is understood that he had been
looking into the working qualities of
various fire apparatus, particularly of
the motor driven type. Mr.. Taylor
admitted that he has been in New
York, Philadelphia and other larger
cities on inspection tours.
Looks Up Systems
That We'll get motor apparatus is
pretty certain said the commissioner,
but just how many we'll get to start
with I don't know. Well probably
get one or two at first to see how they
work out. An apparatus costs from
$4,000 to $500. The good combi-
nations cost SIS. 500"
when do you expect to get them?''
"Well, I'm looking up the system of
operation in other cities. The money
isn't at hand just yet. While the ordi-
nance authorizing the issue of the
bonds has been passed, I'm not certain
as to the next step. To tell the truth.
1 haven't looked into that question as
yet. 1 suppose an ordinance author
izing the specific expenditure will be
next in order"
Contracts will be let following the
system of advertising adopted by Mr.
Bowman. will they not?"
"Oh, yes" replied the commissioner,
but of course that doesn't necessarily
mean to the lowest bidder Would il
be right. do you think. to let a con-
tract to some person or firm that was
unknown to you or irresponsible
even though he or it was the lowest
oidder?"

Electric Cos. Keep

Electricity is so easily controlled
either by the push of button or by
automatic apparatus especially de.
signed for that purpose, that one
oftentimes loses sight of the complex
ity of the distribution system and con,
troll mechanism between the lamp and
the source of supply. Indeed, there
are as many as a thousand points be-
tween the electric light station and
the lamp where the most trivial fault
will result in failure to receive light
Trouble in the electric light station
itself is never permitted to interfere
with the service to customers 1t is
the trouble in the lines and house cir
cults which causes the lighting COM
panv most concern. In the great ma

blowing of a fuse will place a house

be installed in a fraction of a minute.
Electric light companies throughout
the country make 1t point to remedy
these faults as speedily as possible,
and in order that the electric light

The fact that one of these men is

Shun Professionalism
Is a Golf Warning
Special to The Telegraph

New York, May 15.-In a letter now
being sent to secretaries of clubs in its
organization, the United States Golf
Association sounds warning to ANA
teur golf players. who are treading on
the border line of professionalism.
Owing to the fact that certain sit
uations now exist says the letter, ''it
is necessary to change Section of the
bylaws of this association which de-
fines the status of an amateur golf
player"
The situations complained of in
the letter include the writing of ar
ticles for money on how to play certain
shots; accepting free board from hotels
to play in tournaments held for ad-
vertising purposes, and accepting cer-
tain makes of golf clubs and balls.
The letter asks each club to make
suggestions regarding changes in the
rule defining amateurs with the aim in
view of barring evidences of profess
sionalism.
