REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Miss Mabel Ashley, Librarian,
has made the following report of
the Everett Public Library for 1919
! to the Board of Trustees:
have the honor to submit the
report of the Librarian for the past
year, although holding office only
since June Is, 1919, when Miss
Elizabeth R. Topping resigned for
an additional year of study in the
1 New York State Library School, at
I Albany, y. y. A previous change
. in the personnel of the Library
staff occurred May 18th, when the
First Assistant, Miss Lydia Nc
! Cutchcon resigned on account Of
i'll health, and Miss Julia L. Crock
er was appointed to the position,
( coming direct from the staff of the
Minneapolis Public Library.
The vitality of a library is indi-
Gated largely by its circulation.
The circulation for 1919 shows a
decrease below that of the past
three years, but is larger than any
year previous to that time. This
startling symptom of an impending
crisis in library affairs was also
evident in 1918. The decrease is
in the circulation of children S
books and can be traced directly to
situation unparalleled in any 9th
er library in the State, namely,
that books have been wearing out
faster than they have been re-
placed. During the year, 1,130
volumes were withdrawn and dis
carded. In spite of the fact that
over 100000 was spent for books
during this time, the children's
collection still shows deficit of
542 more volumes withdrawn than
were added during the year. Not
only that, but of the remainder,
some 1000 volumes must be re-
placed very shortly. This is not
alone true of the Juvenile books,
but the adult shelves show the
same condition, especially works of
fiction. The process of deteriora-
ton which evidently set in two
years or more ago has now become
acute and will continue for some
time into the future, The fact
that the Library has been main
tanned for so long a period upon an
income insufficient for its upkecp
has resulted in it's entire basic
equipment being undermined; not
only must the books worn out be
replaced, but a large proportion of
/ books on every subject, informa-
, tional, educational, technical and
t cultural are so far out of date as tC
be useless for all practical pur-
poses. The fact that the entire
range of knowledge has been revo-

CLUES FAIL TO SOLVE
MYSTERY OF MURDERS

Detective Edward Kelly this morning
returned from trip to Norfolk, Va,
and Greenville y. c., where he made an
investigation in connection with the
Staying of three Greeks in this city in
a 9Th street roomng house last Sun
day night.
One important thing he learned was
that Jean Odisseos had a revolver re-
sembling the one used in the tragedy.
Several persons in Greenville declared
they saw the weapon in his possession
while he was working in the restaurant
his brother established, one of them re-
calling the make of the weapon
1t was further learned that Theologos
Apostolous koukos, one of the slain trio
was not in Greenville. although he told
friends in Norfolk he was going there
to marry his sweetheart. Jean OdiSseos
and Katna Odisscos. his sister were
seen leaving Greenville together
When or where koukos and the two
Odlsseeses met has not been ascertained
The fact that Koukos did not go to
GreenVille. IL is stated. is taken to indi-
cate that he was trying to elude his
sweetheart and her brother with the
$1,000 he had in his possession
The belief is expressed that the broth
er and sister met kOukos here. had him
cornered, so to speak. and he went with
them to the 9Th street house in an effort
to conVinc" the irate brother he still
wanted To marry the sister

ATTACKS INTEREST
RATES IN N. Y.C|TY
Controller Williams Points to
the Huge Unused Lending
Power of Reserve Banks.

In A statement on financial condi-
tions throughout the country, John
SHELTON Williams, controller OF the
currency. has attacked New York
banks for exacting interest charges
ranging as high as Is per cent. New
York bankers. he said, were the only
ones in the country charging such
interest rates, which he believed TO
be burdensome on business as well as
without justification for their ex-
cessiveness." These banks, Mr.. Will
liams said. have been obtaining credit
from the federal reserve banks at
less than 6 per cent"
Those inclined to pessimistic views
as to our financial situation" Mr..
Williams continued. probably do not
know or do not appreciate the inn
mensely significant fact that our fed
eral reserve banks have an unused
lending power Of S750,000.000 at this
time.
IF the occasion required. the board
could. by waving reserve require
ments on deposits and notes only 10
per cent. increase the unused lend
ing power to 100000. 900, which is
twenty five times as much all of
the national banks ever borrowed at
one time on bills payable and redis-
counts prior to 1918. In the face of
such figures and facts as these the
fear expressed in some sections that
there may not be money enough avail
able TO move the crop seems mani
testify absurd"
Action of the federal reserve banks
in largely depriving Ron-essentials
and luxuries of the use of credit was
said by Mr.. Williams to have had a
very beneficial effect. Reports TO the
controller show a marked tendency
toward liquidation. he said. adding he
believed the credit restrictions were
responsible for such declines in prices
as have come.

the elections commission declined to

that he is not and was not at the time

contend that there is nothing in the
