New York. April 3-The trial of Rev.
Jacob f. Price. pastor of the Washington
Heights Methodist Episcopal Church. on
a charge of improper conduct. was begun
today before an ecclesiastical court. The
charges were preferred by several mem
bers of Rev. Mr.. Prices congregation,
most of his accusers being women.
Although the trial is being conducted
in secret. the witnesses spoke freely of
the testimony that had been given. at
tributing their willingness to speak, in
some cases. to an alleged attempt of the
court to "whitewash" the accused min
lister.
In the main, the charges against DR..
Price are that he frequently attempted to
kiss women members Of his flock. and
that he often succeeded. The story told
by Mrs. Z. ]. Leger. witness, today may
be taken as typical of the complaints.
Mrs. Leger declares that DIR. Price

occasion put his arm around her."

CHOICE OF BANK CENTERS
AROUSES IRE IN CONGRESS

A storm of disapproval was raised on
Capitol Hill yesterday by the announce
| ment in morning newspapers of the selec-
tions of regional bank centers. As a re-
suit, it is not unlikely that legislation
will he introduced in one or both Houses
of Congress to amend the currency act
and designate by law the locations of
regional reserve banks.
Senator Weeks made a statement. criL-
cising the work of the committee as
grossly unfair. Many Senators insisted
that politics had entered into the selec-
ton. and there was considerable resent
ment shown because New Orleans had
been omitted and Atlanta and Dallas
chosen as reserve centers. Members of
the Louisiana delegation were indignant
and declared that New Orleans was be-
ing punished because of the attitude of
the Louisiana delegation toward the tar
if bill and other administrative policies.
P There was much criticism of the fact
that two regional bank centers were To-
Gated in the State OF Missouri, while the
great region west of Kansas City and
all of the Northwest was ignored. The
failure to select either Denver or Seat
tie aroused much resentment among the
Western men. The choice of Richmond,
Va, as a location for a regional bank to
the exclusion of Washington or Balti-
more, was generally criticised. 1t was
credited to the influence OF John Shelton
Williams. Comptroller of the Currency.
Vote Was Unanimous.
1t is believed that the criticism Of
the organization committees decision will
have little weight with President Will
son. The President discussed the work
of the committee with Secretary Nc
Adoo in advance of Thursdays announce
ment and 1t is believed that he is salts
fed with il. A member of the COM
mittee let it be known yesterday that
the vote had been Unanimous on every
city in the list. -
Senator Weeks statement was, in part:
Il may fairly question the propriety
of locating two banks in the home State
of one of the members and one in each
of the home States of the other men,
hers. especially when in two IL not three
of these cases they are not the natural
location for reserve banks.
.'The apparent and confessed attempt
TO limit the business which naturally
goes to New York may properly be crit
icised, not only because 1t is unfair. but
II is so unscientific that in the end It
will not be effective.
1.-THE proper method by which to or
ganize this system was to appoint the
reserve board that was to manage the
system and let them organize it. Then
the organization would have been as far
as possible removed from political con-
sideration. Now, having been organized
by an essentially political and partisan
board, It bears all the earmarks which
right have been anticipated from such
procedure"

1t is the belief Of Treasury officials that
the districts will be organized and ready
to do business within three months.

Representative Crosser said:
"One OF the principal arguments W.
hear against government ownership Of

Insurance Commissioner Nesbit said:
why do men put elevators in their
buildings? Simply to enhance the value
OF their property by making il more
attractive to people hunting offices or
apartments. For the same reason, II for
no other, the government should own
and operate its railways. Wouldn't that
enhance the value OF land and boost the
Districts taxable basis?'

Alexander ]. Hemphill, of the Guaranty
Trust Company. said:
Considerable disappointment is felt
over the number OF regional banks
which is too large. disappointment Is
also expressed that New Orleans is left
out in the allotment of districts. Sur
prise Is occasioned in some quarters also
by the selection of Richmond. I think
Baltimore should be been selected as the
center OF that district

Otto T. Barnard, president of the New

THE motive in selecting Richmond Is
apparent and the announcement seems IL

is likely to have in the operation OF the
Federal reserve system. II looks like
political patronage"
Charles A. Peabody, president of the
Mutual Life Insurance. and director
OF several large banks. said:
THE division of the territory under
the Federal reserve system has been
greatly muddled. Following the natural
courses OF business Jersey City and

TO COMBAT ILLLTERACY.

ROME, May Measures have
been taken this spring to combat the
illiteracy of the population in the
mountainous regions of Romano
Campagnia with renewed vigor. The
so-cailed ambulant schools, which
are moved from place to place and
which + held in the open air be-
fore the huts OF the shephards will
be increased in number. One of these
schools is at an altitude of over 49,
% feet. The teachers, usually wo-
men, reside at the nearest village,
which is often a great distance away.
Many of these Woodworking people
drive out from Rome many times a
week in rough carts. at a great sac
rifice of strength and comfort, but
they declare they are sufficiently re-
warded by the enthusiasm shown by
their pupils.

AURORA MILL EXPECTED
TO START ON JUNE I

The big stamp mill of the Aurora
Consolidated Mining company will
begin it's ceaseless round of opera-
tions or the first day of June, after
which date the company will treat an
average of 500 tons daily of s. ore.
This enterprise represents an in
vestment of $65O,O00 and, as the sup
ply of ore is almost ineXhaustible,
the company is preparing for a con-
tinuous campaign lasting into the in
definite future.
w. Lester Mangum, manager of
the Knight interests in Utah. came
in this morning from Aurora to
spend a few days looking over the
mills of TonOpah. He was accom-
panied by John H. Leavell, mill SUI

accompanied by j. w. Miller of Haw-
thOrne and Lucky Boy fame.
The property at Aurora is an i'm
mense estate which may be worked

HIGH GRADE COPPER
ORE AT BRUNSWICK

K. II. Kingston, superintendent of
the United Mining company, is in
from the company's property in
Brunswick canyon with the report
that developments in the drift from
the 125-foot level. where the miners
have been following a promising
lead, bids fair to put the mine among
the producers. "On Monday, while
following the lead said Mr.. Hing
ston. "a rich find of copper ore was
encountered in the face of the drift,
that assembled from the floor of the
drift in V shape, which if proven to
be of an magnitude will create a de-
cided boom in the vicinity of Bruins
wick canyon The ore is rich in
carbOnates that will run as high as
20 per cent copper. Mr.. Kingston
does not wish to give the impression
hat all of the ore uncovered will
run 20 per cent, but is confident thai
the general average will be around
10 per cent and that if the ledge
holds out he has a mine.-Appeal.

MANY CLAIMS LOCATED Al NM
STACK AND DEVELOPMENT
WORK BEGUN.

Things are moving rapidly at the
scene of the new god strike near
Haystack mountain, about eight
miles south of Jungo. w. j. Merrl-
field. who came in yesterday from
the camp, states that a meeting OIL
claim owners was held and the hay
stack mining district was organized,
J. B.. Truitt being elected district re-
corder. C. T. Smith was chairman OF
the meeting and H. S. Butler secre-
tary. A committee consisting OF j.
B. Truitt, l.. G. Campbell, w. j. Mer-
rifield and w. S. Butler was appoint
ed to draft bylaws and resolutions.
The boudaries of the district were de-
fined as follows: Extending from the
Western Pacific railroad tracks on
the north to Willow Springs in the
south from Rocky Ridge on the east
to the summit of Granite range on
the west.
The following-named claim own

James Edmunds.
A number of Winnemucca people
who are interested in the new dis
trict visited the camp yesterday, max
ing the trip in three automobiles.
The surface showings at H~aystack
are said to be first-class and the out
look is that the camp will have quite
a boom. Already there are about
twenty-five men in the district and
about thirty claims have been located.
The principal property is under OPP
ton by r. d. Maxfield, the discov-
erer, to G.. II. Smith, James Edmunds,
w. j. Merrifield, L. G. Campbell and
r. S. Bolam of Winnemucca. A
force of men has been put to work
and two shafts have been started on
parallel veins, which have been
opened up by shallow trenches for a
distance of 5000 feet. High assays
in gold have been obtained from diff
ferent points where the vein has been
uncovered.
Other claim Owners are preparing
to begin work and in a few weeks de-
velopment will have been sufficiently
advanced to give a good idea of
extent and merit of the district

1914 o., when the output began
to decrease until 1881 it was but
1886 OF. 1t again began t. in

reached in 1898 with 31,1O4 or. For
several years longer, until 1904, the
gold output kept up well, but in that
year, 1904, it began to drop and in
1910 the output was but 1926 o.,
or one-third its maximum. For the
past year or two the gold output has
