Conference of Business Inter-

Postmaster General Rooms.
CALL MONEY 6 PER CENT
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Bankers all over the country are
putting the bankers on loans and get
ting in the strongest possible position
in preparation for the victory liberty
loan, the campaign for which will
start April 81, and which is likely to
be for $4,000. 100000.
Rates nearly everywhere are on a
par with local figures, 6 per cent, with
an occasional concession to 5h per
cent
Local bankers are caring for the
needs of their customers but they are
cutting loans wherever possible. Cur
failing loans has been urged and the
steady marking up on renewals has
probably led to the settlement of
many long-carried accounts.
In New York city there has been no
expansion of loans for the credit of Wall
street brokers, despite the fact that
an average ten-point upward turn de-
veloped in the stock market from Feb
ruary 8 to March 81.
This period was also attended by
very active trading. In some sections
of the country loans have increa sed
In the federal reserve banks, but as q
rule, the gains have been caused by

loan bonds as collateral.
Very little time money is being put
out, other than in renewals, while call
money is steady at per cent. Short
term commercial paper is in good re-
quest by banks.

Recently asked who her relatives were. Miss Goldman replied: T have children all over the United States
 In 1887 when IT years old, she mar ried in Rochester to Jacob A. KerS- ner, who came from Russia in 1882 and was naturalized two years later. In 1909 his citizenship was revoked be- cause he was not 21 when naturalized and had not been five years in the United States. The marriage cere- mony was performed by a schochet- d slayer of animals for kosher meat Two years later the kersners were di- vorced by d rabbi according to the Jewish rite. Kersner seems then to have passed out of Miss Goldmans life entirely. for announcement in court during her final fight against depor- tation that he had died this year took her by surprise. It was on claim that marriage to him made her cit izen that her legal efforts to remain in this country were based.
 They can't keep me out" she said porting her. 'T don't believe they would be foolish enough to try. My father is an American citizen. I mar ried an American citizen"
 Her father came to the United States in 1886, one year after her ar rival, and was naturalized at Roches- ter when his daughter was e4 years old
 Her association with Berkman began 30 years ago in New York. Other than that he is 90 years old and came from Russia, he seems to have concealed his prior history pretty well. When he was relased from the western Penn sylvania prison after serving his time for shooting Mr. Brick there were re- ports that he had married Miss Gold man in New Jersey. but the marriage was never recorded and at their trial for obstructing the draft both testi- fled they were single.
 T represent the devil said Miss Goldman at one of her meetings. "I am apostle unfolding glorious freedom. the apostle standing out against law and order and decency and morality. I am for the devil who leads the way to the absolute yielding up to all the emotions here and now. Wo- men are the slaves of little laws and conventions. They'll learn to break the laws some day"
 Berkman and Miss Goldman made their headquarters in New York where their magazines were published, but they were wellknown in every large city in the United States and also ad dressed anarchist meetings in Canada, England. Australia Holland and other countries.
 These meetings enabled them to live as comfortably as any despised capital ist would wish. Admission fees were charged. circulars sold and subscrip tions to their magazines taken. At the last meeting they addressed in Chicago prior to their deporta ton the contri- buttons to help them fight deportations were S5.000. Miss Goldman's bank book. seized when her magazine was suppressed, showed weekly deposits running from 50 to sT00 with one over s3,T00. They lived at the best hotels. In fact they offered to pay their own way to Russia or, failing that, the difference between steerage and first class in order to have the best ac- cancellations.

Gray, co-authors. have ingeniously blended a problem play supported by strong patriotic motif with the good old straightaway comedy drama.
 The problem presented concerns the reconciliation of certain conditions inn posed by the ''stay -at-homes which have served to letter victorious fight ing men upon their return to their na- tive land. The story deals with Mile. Yvonne Henriette Maisonnave, "Jim's Girl" who comes to America as a stow away and seeks out Jim Bedford in his home in Rumor, Ind. Although eagerly received by the Bedford house. hold, the arrival of Yvonne as a French immigrant causes a town scandal and places Jim in the position of facing federal prosecution. Hutchinson Butch, the town politician and also a grafter. seizes upon the situation as means of blackmailing Jim into signing over to him certain valuable property, which he had overlooked when f1eecing Mrs. Bedford of her possessions while her son was in the army and not in a posi- ton to look after the family interests. The four acts scintillate with refresh- ingly original comedy entrusted to the characters of Will Dibbs, military ex- pert of the Rumor Republican; Windy Miller, true democrat: Eddie Fry of the T..

Noted Pilot With
 NC-4 Is Safe; Fog
 Caused Long Delay

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 21.-The transatlantic naval seapIane, NC-4, missing for several hours yester- day after leaving Galveston. Tex, on a nonstop flight to Mobile, ar rived here at o'clock this after noon. Because of fog, the plane was forced to spend 12 hours at Grand Island, La, 50 miles south of New Orleans.
 Lieutenant Commander A. c. Read, who commanded the NC-4 in its flight across the Atlantic and who is in charge of the plane on its present navy recruiting flight. said on landing here that much trouble was experienced yesterday because of the foa which set in soon after leaving Gall veston.
 Commander Read and his crew selected Grand Island as a place to spend the night because their maps showed a town there. The place was destroyed by a tidal wave in 1893, nothing now remain ing except fishing camp and lighthouse where the NC-4's party spent the night.

Lawrence was given the first opportu nity this season here to display re- markable dramatic talent. Refusing many opportunities to rant and play the melodramatic, Lawrence brought more forcefulness and fmpressiveness to his climatic speeches by using judi cious repression.
 Of the others in the cast, Orrin Brandon, in the character of Will Dibbs was conspicuous for his good work. He showed himself somewhat of an artist at quick changes also, closing the pro- logue of the play in the character of Mike and opening the first act as the ex-civil war veteran and present editor of the Rumor Republican. He found an excellent foil for his comedy in Windy Miller. played by Lawrence Jackson
