LANE TO RETIRE;

/ Washington, Dec. l7.-Frank-
hin K. Lane, probably the best-liked
man in the Wilson administration in
both Republican and Democratic en-
yirons, is to leave the cabinet be-
cause he cannot longer continue in
public life at personal sacrifice.
Mr.. Lane intended saying nothing
publicly about the matter until he
had anopportunity.. to consult the
convenience of President Wilson, for
he did not wish to- make the transi-
tion in the interior department diff
cult for successor nor did he wish
to hurry the president into naming
a new. secretary of the interior. But

GERARD's HAT is

N. B. MR.. M'ADOO

New York, Dec. :. 16.-James W.
Gerard, former. ambassador to Ger
many, came out unequivocally as a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Presidency tonight
and thereby threw bombshell into
the midst of a well-oiled and elabo-
rate machinery built by Governor
Alfred E. Smith, Bernard Baruch
and Thomas L. Chadbourne for the
purpose of carrying William Gibbs
McAdoo into the White House.
' eyes, I am a candida for the
Democratic Presidential nomination"
said Mr., Gerard at the Ritz Carlton
tonight, 81 have filed a petition in
South Dakota in accordance with the
laws and have compiled with the
statute further that one of the
planks of my platform is 'to make
the world safe for democracy"
"Other planks are: "World peace
with a world vision and reconstruc-
ton policy calculated to preserve
America and American commerce as
against the world: to establish for
labor its share in the fruits of in
dustry; to protect the farmers
against the middleman, and to re-
store equal rights to all loyal
citizens; prompt ratification Of the
peace treaty and league of nations
covenant, with immediate reduction
of war taxes; prompt restoration of
normal labor and trade conditions
by proper legislation"

a formal statement warned that no
policy of false economy should be
pursued now with respect to the dis
abled service men if "serious diff
ficulties" are to be avoided later by
the government.
Principles upon which the present
government insurance laws were
founded were ascribed by Mr..
jD'Olier as being entirely sound,'
but the existing legislation entirely
"inadequate." He added that, as a
result of informal conferences to-
day between members of Congress
and delegates to the, convention it
was evident that Congress is not
yet alive to the necessities of the
situation"

SHARP REPLY TO
MAYNARD'S CLAIM

Now York. Dec. 17.-William b.
An6er on. State superintendent Oh
the Anti-Saloon League, replied TO-
nipbt to Lieut.. Maynard's charge
that his original statement in regard
to ;heuse of alcoholic liquors Dy
army aviators was" juggled" by the
,oapue. Mr.. Anderson's statement
follows:
"The Anti-Saloon League re-
fuses to be made the goat by Lieut..
MAYNARD. The only reply that we
care to make to his accusation that
the league "juggled" Lis statement
is the fact that we still have in our
possession, subject to inspection by
by any reporter or any other person
who has any valid interest in the
matter, the original, typewriter
STA ement covered and identified by
letters signed by Lieut.. Maynard
and sent by him to us in response to
our request for statement Tor
publicity purposes.
"Lieut. Maynard complains that
the league robbed it of its intro
ductory paragraph. The only words
o,,4 .,,ara.
"In response to your request
am very glad to give you synopsis OF
nay observations in regard to the use
of alcoholic beverages in the air ser
vice."
'sThese words were omitted be-
cause they were obviously surplus
and did not in the slightest degree
change the meaning. Save for this
single exception the league gave out
Lieut.. Maynard's statement in full
exactly as received from him. with
which the responsibility Of the Anti
Saloon League ceased. -.

yesterday. Consultations are going
on, various interests are considering

great traction systems as the only
available solution, once and for all, OF
the problem which this city faces.
Washington street railway interests
talk about a physical valuation based
on replacement cost with estimates

Members of Congress are being in

Federal Reserve Board Meeting.
The federal reserve board was in
session this morning. Wall street be-
lieves that this meeting means some
action to curtail speculative loans and
as result there was q sharp reac-
ton in values, general shifting Of
holdings, either through liquidation
and reinvestment in other stocks or
getting out OF the market entirely.
The Steel Corporations showing for
the second quarter of the year was
much better than expected, net being

breads MONEY CONTROL

NEW YORK, July 30.-The immedi-
ate opening, while not attended by
any decided bull demonstration.
showed more or less positive strength,
the chief factor Influencing favorably
being the report Of the United States
Steel Corporation for the second quar-
ter of the year. The street was not
looking for actual improvement in
earnings and was therefore agreeably
surprised by an increase for the quar-
ter as compared with the first quar-
ter of the year Of $4,000, and sur
plus for the second quarter of So
308,5S7. as compared with $4,S22,310
for the first quarter.
The downward trend OF the last
few days was checked and some fair
gains established.
Soon after the opening it was an
nounced through news agency that
the Federal Reserve Board would
meet in Washington and discuss the
money situation.
The street at once interpreted this
announcement as meaning that the
board would discuss measures to cur
tail Wall street loans, and there was
an immediate shifting of sentiment,
which encouraged the bears. and they
made attacks throughout the list.
This sentiment was encouraged by
the reported danger Of reductions in
crop yleluS uuc " WcdlAST CouOltlOuS
and drought in certain regions of the
corn belt.
Race riots and labor troubles all
tend to make traders with fat
profits consider the wisdom Of CASH
