CLAIMS RELATIONS Or GREEKS

ASKS FOR DECISION ON
CHECK CLEARING PLAN
Federal Reserve Board Seeks to Make
1t Obligatory to Banks Of System.

Washington. Dec. 27.-Attorney Cen
eral Gregory has been asked for an
opinion by the federal reserve board
on the extent OF its authority to COM
pei member banks of the reserve sys-
tenn TO subscribe 20 the check clearing
plan launched by the board and the
reserve bank some months ago.
Under the present plan subscription
by banks is purely voluntary and of
the nearly eight thousand national and
state institutions in the system not
more than $500 have so far sub
scribed.
The clearing function is regarded by
members of the board as one of the
most important exercised by the re-
serve banks. 1t was designed primar-
ily to save millions in the cost of COL
lecting checks drawn by member banks
on each other. IN addition, il was
pointed out today. with the clearing
system in full operation, many mil
lions now kept by small banks in the
vaults of city institutions which clear
for them, would be transferred to fed
eral reserve banks, thus strengthen
ing the reserve system and at the same
time reducing the likelihood of trans
actions for speculative purposes.
An intention to interfere with the
clearing houses of the country or dc
any large amount Of clearing between
the various federal reserve banks Is
disclaimed by officials. who say there
is little likelihood that competition be-
tween the reserve banks and local
clearing houses will become so keen
as to put the clearing houses in jeop-
ardy.
Members of the board feel confident
that 1t has the power to compel mem
Der banks to join in the clearing plan

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fatfoods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why

SANTA CLAUS SAILORS.
Big Hearted Jack Tars Hosts to One
Hundred Poor Children on U. S. S.

Harold Bentley and Arthur Schultz,
gun pointers of the L. S. S. New York,

with Mr.. Bentley's parents, missed the

aboard their ship to one hundred of
the poorest children in New York city
1t was the first of it's kind ever held

The boat had been anchored at the
Brooklyn navy yard for several weeks
and when it was found that it would

The men investigated conditions OF
the children selected and only gave
tickets to those who could not possibly
partake Of Christmas cheer in any
place, and at 100 p. m. the children
were assembled at Washington and
where the old "chowder party coach
The Pride of the Nation, was awaiting
them, drawn by ten horses and filled
with straw. This coach was a novelty
as it hasn't been seen on the streets
for years, but was familiar sight sew
eral generations ago.
At 2 o'clock the coach reached the
New Yorks dock and in a very short
time all the youngsters were aboard

the Christmas trees and at the head
was an arch of holly and mistletoe

RALPH TRACY HELD.
Bail of $500 Furnished-Charged With
Killing and Taking Foxes and
Skunks from Fur Farm.


After a hearing before Judge w. F.
Woodward in the town court Monday
morning. Ralph Tracy, charged with
visiting the fur farm of Robert G.
Smith of East Killingly on the night
Of Dec. 20-21 and killing skunks and
foxes kept in captivity there and TAX
ing the carCaSSes away for the pelts
was bound over to await trial at the
March term of the superior court, the
court finding the case of too aggravat-
ed a nature to be disposed of under the
jurisdiction of the town court. Judge
Woodward fixed the defendants bail at
$500, which was furnished. During the
course of the hearing Tracy, who was
in court, was not put to plea. Neither
was any evidence introduced in his
behalf, nor arguments made in his
favor by his counsel, Attorney Charles
l.. Torrey. Putnam, at the conclusion
of the hearing.
Robert G. Smith was the first wit
ness called. He told of his business
as a fer farmer and of his fur farm at
East Killingly. He said that four fox
es and about Is skunks were missing
when he went to his farm last Tues
day morning. The foxes were of the
Canadian species and very uncommon
in this section. He had them confined
in a building especially arranged for
holding animals in captivity. He had
found the paddock to the door of the
building twisted off the hasp proba-
by by the use of an iron bar.
After discovering the loss of his
foxes he went to the yard where his
skunks were kept and, after inspecting
the various pens. learned that fifteen
of thees animals were missing. Some
of them had been dug out of their
runs underground and others taken
from pens where they had been put
to mate. The place was dug up
and there were other indications of
hooters. Mr.. Smith fixed the value
of the missing foxes for breeding pur-
poses at about $40 each and the value
of the skunks, as a whole group, at
So each, though he said some of the
skunks were worth SIS each. His
total loss was approximately $3.50.
Mr.. Smith told of following a trail
of blood, drippings from the killed an
imals, from his farm to a barway
about 500 yards to the northward and
Of finding near there the p!hce where
| an automobile had been left standing
| this presumably left by the men who
raided his animal pens. Mr.. Smith al
so described his visit, in company with
Louis Barstow, NJ. H. Grimshaw and
F. A. Whipple, to the home of Ralph

far as he was concerned iS it, and the
| finding of two fox pelts nthe house

Effects of the Storm.
The small blizzard that started in
here at about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing and lasted until p. m. caused
a little damage in the village. The
wind attained a velocity of IS miles
an hour and blew a tree down near the
bulkhead limbs off several tries and
blew Henry Hamiltor's well curb
over. There were but two electric
cars running into the village between
II O'Clock and 2 O'clock. The cause
of the delay was trees blown over, one
at Northrup's corner and one at Har-
lands corner.
No telephones could be used as the
electric lights went out. Many
Christmas guests refrained from jour-
neying to their homes and there was
little travel in the higaway.
