Plans New Legislation to
Remove Previous OBJ
jections
No Directorate Ban
New York Institution Trying
to Recruit New
Members
By BRIGGS

Washington, April ga renewal Of
effort. on a nationwide scale, TO bring
state banks into the Federal Reserve
System is 10 be made shortly, as part
OF comprehensive programme looking
10 the further mobilization of the
country's financial resources.
Legislation with this view was favor
ably reported to-day to the Senate by
Chairman Owen Of the Banking and
Currency Committee. The committee
not only favors the enactment OF
amendments TO the reserve act which
failed at the last session of Congress.
but proposes new ones. which, 1t be-
heves, would result in removing one
of the chief objections of state banks to
coming into the systematic restriction
against interlockinG directorates.
Amendments reported to-day, by their
failure specifically TO mention inter
locking directorates on the part OF state
and national banks. will permit, in the
opinion of Senator Owen. the entry into
the system of state institutions whose
directors also may be directors OF ma
tional banks.
The proposed amendments also would
allow state banks TO exercise the prlvl-
leges now accorded them under state
laws ard would impose upon them
minimum of restrictions. Another feat
ure of the amendments would permit
state banks to withdraw from the sys
TEN should they for any reason desire
70 do so.
Tntimatlons have reached the Fed
eral Reserve Board recently that an
appreciable number of state instltu-
tions are seriously considering the ad-
visibility Of entering the system. Az
present there are approximately $500
banks, mostly national banks. in its
membership. and in the face Of iinan-
cial demands confronting the nation be-
cause of the war the cooperation O..
the 22,500 banks not at present in the
system is considered highly desirable.
The Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York has taken the lead in an active
campaign for recruiting new members
from the state banks in its district.
Within the last few days a series OF
advertisements have been planned, 10
be published BY member banks, point
ing out the benefit to depositors and 70
the public generally of dealing with
members Of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN. These advertisements are avail
able for any MEMBER banks desiring
them.
In addition, the New York bank has
compiled a pamphlet containing in
simple language definition Of the
aims. purpose and workings Of the Fed
eral act
AT this serious time in the coun-
try's history the pamphlet states,
there is urgent reason why you should
link yourself up with the system. For
the system il Americas financial pre-
paredness plan. It will be Americas
financial leader in the stirring times
we have entered upon. All patriotic
Americans will want 10 support it, be
cause in doing so they are supporting
in the most effective way the United
States government, and our prepared
ness will not be complete till every
citizen contributes his share By sup
porting this system. The moment you
deposit your money with Us your con
tribution 20 financial preparedness IS
made

Mayor Questioned at Hear
ing on Motion to Make
Injunction Permanent
Politics Now Charged
Fight on Railroad Contract
Will Cause Only Delay,
Says Mitchell

Opponents Of the proposed agreement
between the New York Central Rail
road and the city on the West Side i'm
provcment began q new attack yester-
day before Justice Manning in the SUI
prcmc Court, Brooklyn Justice Crop
soy granted a preliminary Injunction
on request Of the Society for the Pre-
ventiou Of Municipal Waste, and the
case came before Justice Manning for
argument as to whether the injunction
should be made permanent.
Mayor Mitchell appeared as wit
ness. Charles +. Hughes represented
the city "a counsel. Former State Sena-
tor William NJ. Bennett, as counsel for
the petitioners for the injunction, ques.
toned the Mayor about the details OF
The proposed agreement.
Mr.. Bennett was repeatedly admon-
ished by the court 90 contine himself TO
the facts and not roam aimlessly about
in "a sea Of litigation" While the
Mayor readily answered ali questions,
his attitude was one Of Indifference
toward the whole proceeding.
IN the opinion of the Manhattan
fusion leaders. the inquiry has resolved
itself purely into a political play by
the anti Mitchell Republicans i'm Brook
Ign.
Faction Opposing Mitchell
One faction of the Brooklyn Repub-
hcan organization Is holding out
against the fusion movement for the
denomination Of Mayor Mitchell and de-
handing "A straigh- Republican munich
pal ticket next fall Justice Cropsey
is its candidate. Some of the leaders
OF TINS faction are even willing 20 fuse
on Cropscy IS necessary
The injunction proceeding was
brought against the Mayor and the
other members Of the Board Of Esti-
mate. Justice Manning told Mr.. Ben
nett that he must show that there was
fraud practised by the city officials or
that they had corrupt motive.
Mr.. Bennett based his argument on
the allegation that the city officials
were "enterlng into contract for land
which the city owns 90 the extent of
$4,000 600 Mr. Hughes denied all
such allegations. Then Mr. Bennett
argued that Chapter ~ Of the Laws
Of 1911, upon which the contract is
drawn. was unconstitutional He main
tanned that the enabling laws merely
provided for the removal Of the rail
road company tracks from Tenth and
Eleventh avenues as a matter of pub
lie safety.
Justice Manning declared that il was
none Of his concern whether the laws
OF 1871 were wise or uuWise. and that

Williamstown Gives Her
Soldiers Warm Reception

Williamstown, Pa, Jan. H. - The
whole Lykens Valley paid tribute last
evening tothe fourteen members OF
Pine Grove company of the Fourth
Pennsylvania infantry who arrived
home from long duty at the border
yesterday. 1t was the greatest recep-
ton Williamstown ever rendered to
anybody and 1t was as sincere as it
was enthusiastic.
From 900 to 500 school children
carrying flags met the 4.45 train and
escorted the returning soldiers to the
banquet hall where dinner was served
to them and members of the Grand
Army who were out to meet them a
delicious repast having been provided
by the ladies of the Relief Corps.
The principal address of welcome
home for the soldiers was made by
County Solicitor Phillip S. Meyer, of
Harrisburg, who with County Record
er James T.. Lentz, was a specially in
vited guest of honor. Mr.. Meyer never
was in better form. He delighted the
large audience that frequently inter
rupted his remarks with applause and
at the conclusion of the meeting was
the recipient of congratulations by
hundreds of those present.
