transferring them to national banks"

Representative McFadden declared
Mr. Williams exercised autocratic po-
wers and his position of comptroller
of the currency, director of finances
and purchaser Of the Railroad Admin

Finance Board was "an intcrming IL
of responsibilities which makes this
power too marked"
Controller Williams, in q statement
telegraphed from Richmond, Va, and
made public at his Office tonight, said
he would welcome the investigation
proposed in the McFadden resolution.
Williams Answers Critics
Mr. Williams's statement follows:
'I am just informed Of the sugges-

Representative McFadden, for special
investigation of my official conduct.

most heartily and will do all in my
power to hasten the appointment OF

and the inquery he proposes.

Constituted Immediately


WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Approval
of the proposal to establish a govern

period was cabled by President Will
son to-day to Secretary Redfeld.
The organization, to be known as the
government price conference board.
will be constituted Immediately. As
devised by Secretary Redfeld and his
commercial advisers, the plan calls
for an investigation of the costs of
production of basic commodities under
conditions as they have changed since
the war and the determination of

Early adjustment of prices will be

Bolshevists Active on the Amur

Await Better Weather

VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. II by The AS

pronounced along the Amur railway,
whore 800 Magyars of General Won
Taube's former army are reported to
be intrenched near the Magochl sta
ton. awaiting moderation of the
weather.
The supreme church administration
at Omsk has launched an appeal for
moral support in the struggle against
Bolshevism addressed to the Pope, the
Archbishops of Paris, Canterbury and
New York and the metropolitans of
Serbia, Rumania and Greece.
There is persistent rumor that the
Omsk government contemplates a re-
moval to the eastward and will estab-
lish its seat either at Chita or Vladi-
vostok. While this rumor lacks con-
frmation, it is pointed out as possible
substantiation that British tCommis-
sioner Elliott and French Commission
CT Regnault are en- route to Vladivo-
stok. M. OustrougoT, Minister of
Communications in the Omsk govern
ment, is also coming, for the alleged
purpose of assisting in the railway CON
ferences, which, despite the strong rep
reservations of the government officials
in favor Of Omsk, will be held here
after ratification of the general plan Of
cooperation by the peace conference.

Omsk Fears Repetition

91MSk, Feb. Is (By The Asso-

attempt to repeat the Brest-

An official statement of the
attitude Of the Omsk government
toward the meeting probably will
be made in a few days. Socialist
and non-Socialist leaders and
representatives Of the cooperative
associations are preparing a pro-

LAUGHING is A
HEALTH TONIC
Makes More ForeefL he Beat
q the HeaEl

When the Individual laughs the ac-
ton is accomplished by deep, for
chile movement Of the chest. This
deep movement increases the rapidity
of the roundabout flow Of the scarlet
fluid, makes more forceful the beat of
the heart, observes an authority, and
by that means brings back the blood to
the lungs at a greater pace, and there
fore helps to accomplish quicker
nourishment Of the body and thus
brings mental reaction.
More than mental rest and benefits
to the health Of the mechanism. good
laugh brings with It food for the emo
tional fabric. The physiological action
involved In hearty laugh stimulates
the, emotions and acts in the capacity
Of an increased electric current In q
wire by whose force machines are
moved. The hairlIke caplllaries. so
strained and worked during the course
OF a busy day, become rapidly emptied
as laughter incites the emotional fibers'
action.
As the immediate result. there comes
relief to the tubes ia the form OF q
freshened supply Of food. The heavily
congested capIllaries and the emotion
al fabric are stimulated, and the body
is enabled to generate new energy,
due to the emotional excitement caused
by laugh. and you feel regenerated
and capable Of carrying on with added
force whatever work you are doing.
