RAILROAD TROUBLE
 LIMITING CREDIT
THIS IS OPINION OF FEDERAL RE SERVE SYSTEMS ADVISORY
 COUNCIL.

Washington. Transportation diff nculties form one of the most acute phases of the credit situation. This was the opinion of bankers compos- ing the advisory council of the federal reserve system who met ill conference here with the Federal Reserve Board Inability to liquidate loans on com modities which are delayed in reach ing the markets because of the traffic tie-up was the general complaint of the bankers.
 The bankers as a whole took the view that while the present credit sit uation will require rigid efforts to curtail loans, particularly for nones- sentials, it will right itself if speedy relief can be obtained from the trans portation difficulties.
 Arrangements were made for a com mittee of the conference to confer with the Interstate Commerce Com mission relative to measures under consideration for giving food and other essentials priority of shipment.
 While the 12 members of the advis- ory council of the federal reserve sys- tenn were in confere with the Federal Reserve Board the credit situation al so was under discussion in the Senate. The resolution of Senator Mccormick of Illinois, calling upon the Federal Reserve Boa.rd to report to the Senate what steps it is taking to meet the present imitation of the currency and credit and also what is being done to mobilize credits to finance the 1920 crop was adopted.
 Senator Mccormick in calling up the resolution declared that "a grave situation is now impending"
 Unless the reserve board takes steps to forestall credit stingency we shall have something approximat- ing a panic," said Senator McCor- mick. Very much the same symp- toms of economic and credit disorders that were manifested in 1907 are ap- bearing again"

SAYS REDS CONSPIRE
 TO SEIZE CONTROL
ARMED RED GUARD BEING FORM. ED IN ILLINOIS IT IS
 CHARGED.

Springfield, III. = There are 50,000 organized Reds in the Chicago dis trict, the northern tier of counties pledged to overthrow this government Within that 50,000 there is an armed Red guard, copied after the Russian soviet"
 So asserted Adjutant General Frank s. Dickson, who is head of the mill tary forces Of Illinois. Twice during his speech he said: 'I know whereof l talk and am responsible for what l say" He. with Col. Milton J. Fore man, state commander, were the speakers before the American Legion
 There is successful propaganda now being carried on by the l. w. WIS and other discontents. They are spreading treason" continued the gen. eral. "The purpose of this gr3up is to overthrow the government which you fought to save, for which 60,000 are now sleeping in France and for which millions risked their health and lives
 Tn our governmental policies now there is too much politics and not enough patriotism. There is too much pussyfooting while the Reds get away with their propaganda. These men are ingrates and traitors and should be treated as such.
 'It may be surprise to many ol you, but the federal government con sidered Illinois the most dangerous state in the Union when the war broke out Some of that danger still turks behind It is insidious. but it is here.
 "There is a certain seditious propa- ganda going on in our schools and colleges. Teachers paid to teach loyal ty to the flag are teaching other doc trines.
 T do not questlon the right of any citizen to change the form of our government through the ballot box, but no man has a right to attempt to overthrow this government by force"
 Colonel Foreman spoke of "our enemies in this country which are more destructive than those We en- countered across the water" He went on: Those with us now operate un- der cover of law. We are not certain where they are all the time, while on the othe rside we always had the ap- proximate location of the enemy"

CHANCERY COURT |S
 UPSET BY NEAR R|OT
MARCH INTO COURT AS HEARING IS IN PROGRESS AND DE-
 HANDS RESERVATIONS.
IS FINED FOR ACTIVITIES
Opponents of Proposed Road Say As easements of Benefits Are Too High Has Been Much Feeling Since
 the District Was Organized.

Jonesboro.-Two of the commission CTS of the Black Roek-Hancock Road improvement District were forced to resign at stormy session of Chan cery Court at which hearing or an application for an injunction agalhst htem was being heard. The third member of the board did not resign, probably because he was not present. Alex Mcdonald, one of the remon- strants. was fined $500 and given sentence of six months in the county iail for his activities in the matter. He marched into the courtroom at the head of 100 remonstrants, most or them said to be armed, fiourished pistol and was the spokesman who de- manded and received the resignatlons of the two commissioners.
 The hearing was being held at Lake City. the eastern county seat of Cra1g- head county. There has been much opposition to the road and application was made for a permanent 1nJunctl91 against the commissioners, Leverlhg Fraser. F. H. Watson and w. c. Craig; also against the contractors, the j. E. Edwards Construction Company, and the attorneys, H. M. Cooley and John Gam, enjoining them from proceeding further with the work. The case was set for hearing by Judge Wheatley Ill Chancery Court.
 While the hearing was in progress Mcdonald and the others marched in to court and the proceedings immed- lately thereafter closely bordered oa -iot. Mcdonald, hourishing a reVeiY- ST. insisted on the commissioners sign ing their resignations then and there. Fraser and Watson complied. Cralg was not present. There was such con- fusion following this extraordinary scene in court that Chancellor Wheat ley adjourned court, but before doing so arraigned Mcdonald as the leader of the party and fined him $500 and sentenced him to six months in jail. Mcdonald was the only man, it is said, who displayed pistol, but it is said that others were armed and that had the commissioners not resigned there would have been serious trouble.
 Another difficulty preceded this demonstration when Eli Osment, one of the remonstrtants, had warm words with John Gam and fight was avert ed only by friends separating them Oppopents of the proposed road say that the assessments of benefits are too high. There has been much bit ter feeling ever since the district was organized.

by two Ameican society girls who

PRISON REFORM IN CHINA

Under the new regime in China
an earnest effort is being made to
secure far-reaching reforms in the
prisons. One of the difficulties re-
formers have had to meet, accord
ing to DR.. Yamei Kin, Chinese
woman physician now in this coun-
try, is the result of the fact that
most of the present prison authori-
ties have been trained in Japan.
The japanese training system being
a purely military one, these Japa-
nese-trained Chinese have naturally
put their prisons on a military
basis. "Our prison officials" the
Boston Christian Science Monitor
quotes DR.. Yamei as saying, wear
uniforms and go around clanklng
sabers and all the prisoners are re-
ouired to salute them" Of course,
the japanese idea of neatness and
discipline are, we read, "a tremen-
dous improvement on the old Chi
nese system, if it could be called a
system" Nevertheless, "the mill

The feature of these frocks other

tors art. 1t is typical of the tapestry

portion of the dress is covered with
it, and always in soft blending tones
like the shades seen in old tapestries.
A dull red dress may be emDroider-
ed in various shades of brown and

CUT OUT THE -WICKETS

They've cut the wickets," said a

What do you mean by wickets," "
inquired the reporter.
"You see for years the rule has
been at Due West that the young
men students must not go into the
grounds Of the Woman's College
there except on special occasions.
$50 for years the custom has
been one under which young man
student having a spot somewhere
for some girls at the Woman's Col
lege, would come up to the road
and stand there until mayhap he
would draw her attention. Then he
would bow and scrape and all that
sort of thing-a most ridiculous
practice as carried out; but one
which has been common at Due
West for years.
Here of late the boys have
agreed to stop this sparkling at long
range and it is understood that the
authorities at the Woman's COL
lege have about agreed to more
soirees, there by allowing the col
lege lads opportunity to see the
girls more often.
