DUNNE DENIES AID

Springfield, H., Feb. appeals to
Governor Dunno for aid for flood SUI

emergency flood fund appropriated by

FEDERALRESERVE
BOhnDEXPRESSEs
REGRET AT ACTION

Washington, Feb. 5.-The federal
reserve board issued a statement to-
day expressing its regret at the dis
position evidenced in some states to
draw a line of distinction and cleavage
between state and national banks
which are members of the federal re-
serve system.
1t has taken form, the statement
says, by efforts in some states to
separate existing bankers societies in
to separate organizations; one for
states and one for national banks.
1t appears to the board" says the
statement, that a common ground
for both groups of banks should be
sought rather than ground for separa-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that wise
counsel will prevail and the convic-
ton gradually assert itself that there
should be no feeling of competition be-
tween state and national government
which might produce tendency to
legislate downward as to banking
standards or create conditions Of I'M
certainty rather than safety, for the
mere purpose Of making one system
more attractive from the profit making
standpoint than the other"
The board pointed out that the
states have given up no privileges re-
speeding banks by encouraging them
to Join the reserve system and said
that it has gone the limit to keep in
Joining that system.

BRIDGE PLOT is Fooled BY SOLDIERS
FleeS at
Challenge of
Post Guards

Montreal, Feb. 5.-What is believed
to have been an attempt to blow up
the Victoria bridge was frustrated last
night by militia guards, it was learned
today. Guards noticed a man making
his way toward the bridge on the ice,
and when he refused to answer chal-
lenge, he was fired at but succeeded In
escaping. The investigation started
by the militia authorities has con-
WINGED them that an attempt to destroy
the bridge was intended.
The Victoria bridge crosses the ST
Lawrence and is used by railways. 1t
is mile and a .-4lf in length and has
been guarded by soldiers since the
war.

Providence, R. l.. Feb. 5.-The case
Oft Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, Cecil
Brown and Henry H. Spellman,
charged with the murder of DR.. c.
Franklin Mohr, the woman's husband,
was given to the jury at 1O:45 o'clock
today.
Judge Stearns in his charge to the
jury declared that it was their duty,
if they concluded the state had proved
it's case, to say guilty" whatever the
consequences in each case, or in any
case
"The law recognizes no color, no
creed" the court said. PAY no re-
gard to the fact that one defendant is
woman and two are negroes. They
are three citizens on trial, and I
charge you not to allow any prejudice
or feeling, except an honest desire to
do impartial justice, to enter your
minds" z.sssss,
'The law in regard e principals in
crime" the court explained, us
this: Where any persons are present,
aiding and abetting in the actual COM
mission of a crime-in this case it Is
murder-they are equally guilty with
those who actually commit the crime.
Mrs. Mohr has been indicted as an &C
cessory before the fact. If you find
she hired, aided, procured or assisted
one or the other of the defendants, she
: is guilty
| Judge Stearns asserted that under
the law an accessory cannot be con-
victed unless one or both of the prin-
cipals is found guilty and therefore
that it was logical that the jury first
determine whether Brown and Spell
man were guilty.
| Attacks Heals Testimony.
Discussing the testimony of George
! W. Heals, DR.. Mohr's chauffeur, who
turned states evidence, the court said,
the reliance to be placed on his story
rested with the jurors. Heals is
puzzling figure in this case" said the
Judge. Its fair question how much
Of his statement is true and how much
is false"
The court said no confession was
made by Mrs. Mohr, but that, accord
ing to the state, she had made threats
against her husband. 1t was for the
jury to determine The value of these
alleged threats.
Inasmuch as confessions are only to
be taken as against the persons max
ing them, it was also pointed out, the
alleged confessions of Brown and
Spellman were not 20 be considered as
against Mrs. Mohr.

miles northeast of DurazzO.
