Of justice absolutely level. His in
dustry was wonderful. He kept things
moving in court. While courteous to
all, he insisted that attorneys and
parties should be prepared to try
their suits. His dockets were always
cleaned up and the county saved
thousands Of dollars Of unnecessary
expenses. On the supreme bench it
was always the same. Business must
be dispatched.
But Marshall county is under obli-

HIGH PRICE REBELLION
CAUSING SLACK DEMAND
Public Sentiment Aroused, FEDERAL
Reserve Board Official
Declares.
BY the Associated Press.


CHARLESTON, W. Va, September II.
The buying public has ''re5elled against
ever-mounting prices and has forced
a period of readjustment of values.
Vice Gov. Platt of the Federal Re
serve Board declared in a speech
here before the annual conven-
ton of the West Virginia Bank
ers' Association. Analyses of the
country's business condition with re-
spect to the price situation disclose a
marked lessening of demand. he said.
adding that the refusal to buy was
traceable directly to public sentiment
against high prices.
Mr.. PlattS speech-the first since his
appointment-wasd designed as a reply
to critics who had charged that the
boards credit restriction and redis-
count policies were responsible for
the closing or part-time operation of
scores of manufacturing establish
ments. Such charges. he said. were
without merit. as the reasons for the
closing of many factories were found
to be deeper seated and more wide
spread
Discussing the drop in prices of
several consumablc commodities. MIR.
1'latt said the courses followed by the
markets indicated a restoration of the
old law of supply and demand, but he
would not forecast the extent to
which price receSSionS would go.
A lower raange of prices would ma
terially ease UP the credit situation"
Mr.. Platt declared. expressing the fear
that it also would increase grum-
bling and criticism.
MIR. Platt divided critics of the
boards reconstruction policies into
three classes:
Those desiring lowering rates
cheap moncy-regardlesS of economic
laws or the requirements of the fed
eral reserve act
Those declaring the discount rates
were not advanced quickly enough
after the war financing was finished
and are not now high enough to con-
troll credit.
Those who "just criticise on general
principles-mostly for political eff
feet.
This third class is not troubled by
any particular regard for consistency
or laws of any kind Mr.. Platt con-
tinued.-
The speaker explained the board
sought to conserve credit for pro-
ouctive and crop-rnoving purposes
and did not desire ITO open the flood
gates of credit for specula ton. for
such would absorb credit which mi sht
be employed in useful purposes"

War Department Makes Tests on
Bombardment of Targets
Thirteen Miles at Sea.

ROCkPORT. Mass, September It.
The bombardment of moving targets
at sea from an artillery train on
the Rockport branch of the Boston
and Maine railroad furnished the
summer colony of the Massachusetts
north shore with a novel spectacle
and plenty of noise.

terssted in the demonstration. as it
was designed to show the feasibility
of repelling an attack of war vessels
by means of railroad artillery. At
a distance of thirteen miles from

The line towing the target was
mile or more in length and the bat
teries consisted of eight-inch guns,

cially constructed railroad cars. The
guns. which weigh eighty-seven tons
each, carried projectiles weighing 200
pounds.
The entire artillery train consist.
ed of thirty-four cars. 1t was moved
and included cars for tools and am
