Representative Glass Backs Up on
Thrust of Federal Reserve System.

Washington, Feb. 25.-His charges
of graft existing in the federal reserve
system should have been applied to
banking conditions some time ago,
not now, Representative Carter Glass
declared today.
Glass admitted that, in explaining

distinction.

conditions" Glass said today.
II made several explanations of the
amendments that day and in one cases
may have neglected to place the graft
charges in their proper setting. 1 re-

years ago. Whether l did that clearly

$500 yearly to maintain. and taking
$4,000 annually each out of the COM

with the cost Of living very high.
w%orkingmen cannot afford to lay off;
yet they have more money to spend
on amusements than they ever had
before. If an hour is set that makes
it convenient for them to attend
league play outside of business hours
there seems little cas- why twilight

Another thing. players, managers,
team owners and all others connected
with baseball should mingle more
with the public. Personality and per-
sonal contact greatly serves to create
and retain interest in play.
Some Of the falling off in attend
ance, aside from the loss of patronage
of men who have gone into the serv-
ice to fight, is undoubtedly due to the
fact that the world war is the head
liner in every daily paper in the coun-
try. In times Of peace baseball is
second to nothing In news interest and
play in the headlines. It divides the
interest now. This shows the value OF
news columns space to baseball or any
other amusement business. Because
Of the high nrice If Drint Manor and
other increase in the cost Of publica-

space devoted to sports. This loss of
news column advertising has been
keenly felt. If the newspapers would
