WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The first definite step toward limitation of non essential enterprises requiring capltal expenditures, was taken today oy the federal reserve board which announced the appointment of a com mlttee of three bankers to act in an advisory capacity to the capital issues committee of the board in placing on applications for approval of issues of private securities
 The system is based entirely on the theory of voluntary co-operation on the part of capitalists. The fed eral reserve boards capital issues committee will give or withhold sane ton to proposed issues of large amounts.
 Railroad financing will be left en- tirely to the government railroad ad- ministration and the federal reserve board system will apply only to se- curities involving municipal, public utilities and industrial financing. Later the board hopes to devise a nationwide method of dealing with lesser transactions.
 The advisory committee consists of Allen B. Forbes. member of the firm of Harris, Forbes aud company, New IOTh, DOIu ucdleTS. Y. H. tszQI1, preSl- dent of the Cleveland Trust com pany and Henry c. Flower, president of the Fidelity Trust company of Kansas City. The committees coun- sel will be Bradley W. Palmer, Bos- ton lawyer, and the executive secre- tary will be Stephen l..

 'I would have given out the same information to the newspapers or any enc else' said Tomlinson. Our plans had been published in pamphlets and elsewhere long before this time. There was nothing secret about them. The evidence that we intend to produce, however, was and is secret and I have certainly given the packers no inkling of that.
 As a matter of fact, the packers, many of whom I know personally, re- peatedly asked me what they could do to allay the investigation that was be- ing planned. 1 invariably told them

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Just as railroad administration officials, en- couraged by rising temperatures over most of the country. had begun to dis cuss removal of the general freight embargo on three eastern trunk lines, reports reached them of new snow storms with their disastrous effects on railroad transportation.
 The New York Central was sorely hit by blizzards today, both about Chi cago and in northern New York state. Reports indicated only a sluggish freight movement over the main line. Passenger trains were many hours late and some were withdrawn.
 The zone system of distributing coal probably will not be put into effect for another week. By that time officials look for a cessation of abnormal win ter weather.

OLD SETTLERS DAY
GEORGE c. TRUE PLEASES THE
BIG PICNIC CROWD.

George c. True, of OskaloOsa, was
the orator at the "Old Settlers meet
ing at Lynnvllle, Friday afternoon
George went to the place expecting
to have quiet little meeting of some
kind" He had never attended the
.Lynnville Old Settlers association be-
fore and did not know what he was
getting into. He was the victim oil
a great surprise, the surprise OF his
life. He faced an audience OF thou
sands and for the time being he was
at a loss how to proceed. He had moth
ing prepared for the occasion as he
had been assured it was an informal
occasion" But Mr.. True is resourceful
and after he had spared for wind by
telling a story or two from his store
he opened the exhaust, threw the
gear into high and let loose patriotic
exhortation that stirred the natives to
enthusiastic response. 1t was an In
spring crowd magnificent audience
asserted Mr.. True. 1t was great. One
line of thought suggested a comparison
or a relative train of circumstances
and conditions and Mr. True came up
fully TO al anticipat!ons of his hearers
Great crowds were in attendance
at the association grounds Friday near
Lynnville and one Of the best meet
ings in may years was held. The
usual number of visitors from dis
lance came for the occasion Hundreds
and hundreds brought their dinners
but the good women of the community
provided amply for those who desired
special dinner on the grounds.

union held today is to be another big
affair. Jack Nelson, of Oskaloosa, has
been secured to talk to the old sol
diers, to tell the story Of his exper'
fences at the front. He has been wide
ly advertised and it is claimed by

the crowds today will exceed those Of

CHANCE FOR A PARK
WHAT is TO BECOME OF OLD
PENN COLLEGE CAMPUS.

What is to be done with the old
Penn college campus north of College
Avenue and east of Z street" is a
question interesting many parties in
Oskaloosa. Real estate men were
looking over the property last week
with the idea of plating this ground
in connection with the old athletic
grounds and marketing property for
building lots.
Rev. E. H. Stranahan at the close
of the talk by dorado Taft Thursday
afternoon, on the subject of THE City
Beautiful suggested the idea that
the foundations of the old Penn col
Iege building could in some way be
utilized in the building of public
swimming pool that could be used in
connection with a Community House
of some character, that could be
equipped for the general use of the
public in the enjoyment of social
functions and the grounds about kept
intact as a fitting memorial of the
large student body that have in pre-
yious years attended Penn college,
and who on account of past associa-
lions would regret to see the old To-
cality broken up even for household
purposes.
With the general improvements
that the Traction Company have in
contemplation, no point in Oskaloosa
is better adapted TO the purpose of a
public park than these grounds and
as Nature has abundantly done its
part in the fine growth of trees that
are well located there, it would be a
shame and a crime TO cut them down.
If the real estate project goes through
new streets will be opened up and as
the homes are built, the trees will
gradually be done away with. This
old landmark, so near the Friends
church, should in some way be pre-
served in the interest of the people
of OskaIoosa Who has plan that
will save this property to Oskaloosa?

Serbia that the allies would hammer

as on the Western front
