Par Collection of Checks

The movement of the Federal Re-
serve Banks to collect checks drawn on
banks in any part of the country az
par has just received the approval of
Judge Beverly D. Evans, United States
District Court in Atlanta, Ga, who was
called upon to decide test case. The
American Bank and Trust COMPANY
tried to get an injunction to prevent
the Reserve Bank of Atlanta from
presenting checks drawn against it for
collection over the counter at par IN
stead Of by mail. In dismissing the
motion the judge said: "The policy Of
the Reserve Bank Of Atlanta, as out
lined in the petition, is neither ultra
wires nor unlawful. 1t is not to be
presumed that the agency employed bv
the. Federal Reserve Bank will act
otherwise than may be lawful and
proper in the presentation of the
checks for payment. The allegations
of conspiracy are lacking in essential
features to charge an actionable
wrong" Ninety per cent of the 10000
banks in the country are now on a par
basis. The addition of Virginia and
Minnesota to this list this month
brought the total Of all par collection
states up to 81.

Argentine Loan To Re Paid OFF

According to the latest private ad-
vices, the Argentine government is
now inclined to pay off its May Is
maturity, which amounts to S25 ,00o.-
600, or 100000. Since al the
sterling bonds have gravitated to New
York on account Of the disparity in
the foreign exchange market, the loan
Will have to be paid off practically eX-
clusively in New York. Despite the
fact that her exchange is at a pre-
MUM and although the government has
a balance amounting to $4,000 600 at
the Federal Reserve Bank here, the
Argentine Finance Ministry at first
expressed desire to renew the loan,
instead Of paying it off, because Ar
gentina has a fairly large floating in
debtedness at home and finds it diff
cult to float an internal loan. How
ever, it is understood that the South
American banking group here notified
the South American authorities that
the Treasury Department here did not
look with favor on lending money to
countries whose currencies were quoted
at premium over the American dollar.

Pennsylvania Bonds Well Taken

The new per cent secured Pennsyl-
vania Railroad ten-year bonds, accord
ing to members Of the syndicate, have
been oversubscribed. The offering Of
the bonds at par came as somewhat Of a
surprise. and some observers OF the
bond market predicted that they would
sell at premium in the open market.
One dealer expressed the view that
they would jump to about 103 and sell
on a Ga per cent basis. In the curb
market 160 bonds were dealt in yester-
day. The high price quoted was 100
and the low 997s. Samuel Rea, presi-
jent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad, an
nounced in Philadelphia that 5,O00,-
600 Of the money raised Is to meet
maturing obligations, and the rest 30
meet the capital requirements Of the
system for the current year. It was
said that the underwriting price for
the bonds was 81 and accrued interest.

Carmania Brings Gold

The Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York yesterday purchased an addi-
tional S9,2o0,00O of gold from J. 2.
Morgan & Co. The latter received the
metal as consignment from the Brit
ish Treasury on the steamship Car
mania, which locked in the morning.
This gold, like the three previous ship
ments of similar amount, is assumed
to be for the purpose of building up
balances in anticipation of the Anglo
French maturity which comes due on
October Is. Including the shipments
to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Of gold purchased
in the London market, New York has
received about Sal 100000 of gold from
London, and all Of it has been pur-
chased by the Reserve Bank. Mors
than $18,0o0,000 in gold has been re-
ceived this week, and the liner Phila-
delphia, which is due to-day, is under
stood to be bringing another consign-
ment Of gold from the British Treas

FIERCE FIGHTING IN
ENVIRONS OF FTUME

London, Dec. 27.-Fierce fight
ing is proceeding in the environs
of Fiume, says the London Times
dispatches from Milan, and the
losses to the regulars are very
heavy, among the casualties being
two colonies mortally wounded.
d'Annunzio flew over the lines
Sunday, dropping leaflets from his
airplane calling on the regulars to
desert. The poets troops have
transformed the houses in the
public garden into machine gun
nests, which have been effective in
stopping the government forces.
All the main streets are defended
by barhed wire barricades.
An instance is related in which
the legionaries made a desperate
stand in an armored car, which the
regulars succeeded in seizing after
killing three and wounding two of
the occupants. The resistance en-
countered by Caviglia's troops APP
parently is unexpectedly strong and
the capture of Fiume has been con-
siderably delayed by the poets
defenses.

WON'T BE VIOLATED
Suggestions Are Said To
Have Come From Senator
Harding As the Result Of
His Recent Trip There.

Washington, Dec. 81 (by
The Associated Press) -
Adequate protection for the
Panama canal from attacks
of enemies from the air,
land, or sea, is to be provid-
ed for in a bill soon to be
drafted by the house COM
mittee on appropriations for
Notifications and sea coast
defense.
Members of the committee
now are virtually agreed up
on a plan to make the canal
impregnable.
1t has been suggested unoffi-
cially to those members of the
house in charge of appropriations,
that the canal must be given the
best of modern defenses. These
suggestions are said today to have
resulted directly from the recent
inspection OF the canals fortifica-
tions by President t-elect Harding
and his party.
Plans to meet these suggestions
and at the same time adhere strict
ly to the rules of economy laid
down by house leaders have been
tentatively agreed to. They in
volve the sending of necessary ord
nance, including the largest cali
bered artillery pieces to the canal
as soon as they are produced.
In addition to the canals main
land defenses. the war department
has proposed the placing of sew
eral of the longest range rifles on
an island. located about 10 miles
off the Pacific entrance.
The Atlantic entrance. under the
present plans, will be provided
with an elaborate system of tracks
designed to carry the heaviest rail-
road artillery mounts with guns
calibered to greater distances than
those used by the most powerful
dreadnaughts afloat.
