banks which are not members of the re-
serve system, although the board did not
lack defenders during the discussion.
Indignation against the boards regu-

Harding was styled ''usurper" of auth
ority, and committee was named to
seek amendment of the reserve act SO
as to guarantee to all bankers the rights
and privileges of fixing charge on the
handling of checks drawn on all except
ing local banks.
Speakers declared Governor Harding
had "employed'' force and coercion by
forcing the use of the par-clearance sys-
TEN, under which many state banks
were said to have been compelled to
enter the reserve system or lose certain
classes Of business.
Charles de Claiborne of New Orleans,
declared the. service given by the banks
in the transfer of checks was legitimate.
and that the banks were entitled to COM
pensation. He asserted that the ar
ordered by the reserve board
for par r-clearance does not make every
check worth 100 cents on the dollar be-
cause there is nearly always an exchange
charge, so the merchant who supports
par clearance does not gain anything.
If the merchants have benefited by the
system, Mr.. Claiborne contended. the

con, member Of the internationally
known engineering firm of Ford, Bacon
& Davis, life long Republican and an
active supporter at the Chicago conyen-
ton of the candidacy Of Herbert @.

at Paris studying the league. has de-
termined to repudiate the party with
which Mr.. Hoover has allied himself and
to vote for Cox and the league.
The letter among other things says:

Peking, Oct. 1a.-(By The Associated
Press)-Thc recent raid by bandits on
Hunchun, small frontier post in East
ern Manchuria. contiguous to both the
Korean and Siberia borders, which at
the time attracted little notice, promises
to develop into diplomatic controversy
between China and Japan, involving the
Korean border district of Chentao, to

The difficulty is threatened through
the sending by Japan of troops into
Chinese territory ostensibly for the pro-
lection of Japanese citizens. 1t was
declared in Toxic that the Chinese
foreign ministry had committed itself to
allowing japanese forces to cooperate
with Chinese troops on Chinese soil in
the disturbed district, but subsequently,
refused to agree to the sending OF
Japanese reinforcemcnts to Hunchun.
China, however, denies that she ever
admitted the right Of the necessity for
the entrance of the Japanese, and de-
fines her attitude as one Of protest
ag&inst an accomplished fact.

Reward Offered Anyone

Jackson, O.. Oct. 2O.-Replying to
Governor Cox's charges of inconsistency
! on the League of Nations issue, Sena-
tor Harding offered to "give a reward"
to anyone who would produce specific
evidence of change of position Sinse
he accepted the Republican nomination
for the presidency.
Mr.. Harding also asserted that if he
had no specific plan for a world associ-
alton. the same was true of Governor
Cox, who had not told the people what
reservations to the Versailles covenant
he was willing to take.

The senator's reference to the league
was made in the course of a speech at
a Republican barbecue here, attended by
several thousand people from southern
Ohio and ncighboring states. Beside the
