ing House Plan Extended.

Washington, April 29.-The federal
reserve board announced today that 1t
would put into effect June 10 it's new
plan for country wide check clearing
and collecting. Under the plan the ac-
tual cost of clearing will be assessed
to member banks in proportion to their
use or the system. ~ =.
A circular announcing it's decision
was mailed today by the board to 1900
| member banks. The important features
of the plan, the announcement says, are
as follows:
1.-THE federal reserve banks will ac-
cept at par all checks from member
banks whether drawn against other
member banks, non-member banks or
private banks. An exception is made
at the outset in the case of checks
drawn against non member banks
which can not be- collected at par.
.All checks thus received from MEM
ber banks will be given immediate
credit entry, altho the amount thus
credited will not count as reserve nor
become available until collected.
To Provide Time Schedules.
''In order to enable member banks
to know how soon checks sent in for
collection will be available either as re-
serve or in payment of checks drawn
against them, time schedules will be
furnished to member banks.
"The actual cost without profit for
the clearing and collection OF checks
will be paid by the federal reserve bank
and assessed against the member banks
in proportion to their sendings.
THE whole plan is based on gener.

clearing banks have; long been operat-

Battle Of Verd,la No,D
Considered by French
as Practically Ended

Paris, April 2s.-The battle Of
vsrdun may now be- considered
ended, according to the opinion
prevailing in French military Cir
cIes. Not only the recent French
official reports but yesterday's Ger
man official statement declared
nothing Important had developed in
tho verdun region. Il 10 nearly
two months sincsthe German war
Office has made such statement.
Heavy German batteries, in con-
siderable numbers, have been with
drawn from Verdun and sent to a
distant point, which, judging from
increasing activity, is probably the
sector Of the line held by the Brit.
ish.
The announcement Of tho dec
laration Of General Petain and other
high officials who have taken part
in the battle 10 regarded as an indi
cation that the French authorities
share the view that the task Of de-
Tending verdun has been brought
to an end.

Chicago, April 20. -f"Of course, he
was silly and not all right in his head,
but he never was bad enough to be

SO said Mrs. John Colba, of 1914
North Kedzie avenue, yesterday Of her

the murder Of Mrs. Agnes Middleton.

twelve hours by the police
Hettinger, according to his story. was
struck over the head with baseball
bat when q little boy. A physician op-
Grated on his head, and he lay In j
hospital for three months. Then. six
years ago, he was struck by an auto
mobile and his head again was injured.

figured, to climb UP the back way by
