MARY P|CKFORD I'd
FUTURE FILM STAR
Doug's Wife Admits Her Mother
Has Adopted Sister Lottie's
Little Girl.

NEW YORK, July 3I.-Mary Pick
ford took time enough yesterday
amid her activities to admit that
Mary Charlotte Rupp, fouryear-old
daughter of Lottie Pickford. had been
adopted by Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
Mary's mother. On Thursday Lottie
Pickford filed suit for divorce in Los
Angeles against A. G. Rupp, New
York auto salesman.
The child's name was legally
changed TO Mary Charlotte Pickford.
so the name promises to be perpetu-
ated IL Mary the younger goes into
film acting.
The elder Mary's latest admission
explains tho mystery of the blue
eyed baby who has accompanied her
and Doug" recently. For many
months the actress has been practi-
cally a mother to the youngster and
has had little Mary live with her in
California 10 be with her all the
time. ..
The child has already made her
debut on the screen. She appeared In
a dance scene of "Pollyanna" with her
famous relative.
The most pictured folk in the coun-
try baked yesterday afternoon when
they were asked to pose before tha
Rogues' Gallery camera. Mary and
Doug went to police headquarters to
buy a bunch of tickets for tho
Police Field Day, to be held at the
Grsvesend Bay race track on August
81 and 2S.
After being shown around the
building and had the workings of the
police department explained to them.
they went to the gymnasium on tho
fourth floor, where a class of recruits
were in training. Doug became so
excited when he saw some of the men
on the mat that he jumped in and
demonstrated to them his ability in
the art of jM jitsu. He also did
gymnastic stunts" on the horizontal
bar and the swinging rings.
From the gymnasium they went to
the basement of the building. Mary
became nervous when she saw three
highwaymen being photographed and
finger-printed. Her husband seemed
to be more at ease. When ii was sug-
gested that they go through the "or-
deal" OF being photographed they
said, "No. 1 guess We will pass that
up"
The noted moving picture perform
ers said they would like to participate
in the events on August 81 and 2S and
that IL they can arrange their sched-
ule they will be here in time to take
part.

MONEY CRISIS
CALLED BOSH
Reserve Board Can Increase
Lending Power rs Times,
Asserts Williams.

Comptroller OF the Currency John
SHELTON Williams today raped the
New York banks for their exorbitant
interest rates. and likewise devoted
some attention TO the panic talk that
has been going around. and for which
he says there is not the slightest
foundation. lie produced the ngurca
to show how needless is the alarm.
After telling that the Federal reserve
banks could. II necessary, increase
their lending power TO twenty-fy"
times the largest amount the national
banks had ever borrowed up TO 1913
the Comptroller said:
with a sane settlement OF present
labor troubles and the restoration of
the old-time efficiency of labor, and
the sterilization which IL 10 hoped the
forthcoming rate decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. to-
gether with more scientific admins
tration and less stock juggling In
railroad management. will bring
about. the business outlook for this
country Will be extremely bright.
Il will also add that there Is not
and has not been. in my judgment
the least justification for the exces-
sive and burdensome interest rates,
running up to 10, s2. and Is per cent
and higher. which have been exacted
by some of the banks in New York
city. the principal financial center of
our country. New York is the only
city Of consequence in the world
where such interest rates are toler-
ated.
"The banks which have charged
their customgers these excessive rates
have themselves at the same time been
literally accommodated with millions
Of dollars by Federal Reserve Banks
at average rates OF considerably less
than 9 per cent.
aside from the disturbed and
alarming state OF affairs in parts OF
the Old World. for which, | am con-
vinced, this country's refusal to ratify
the peace treaty is largely responsible.
there is absolutely no justification for
the spirit of pessimism and uneasi-
ness prevalent in business and finan-
cisl circles in many sections of the
United States today.
"The action OF the Federal Reserve
Banks in restricting extension of
credit for unessentials and luxuries
and In encouraging increased produc-
tion of commodities most needed has
been distinctly beneficial and has, 1t
is believed, been material influence
in reducing the high cost OF living
far and wide.
Those inclined TO pessimistic views
as to our financial situation probably
do not know, or they do not appre-
ciate the immensely significant fact
that our Federal Reserve Banks have
at this time an unused lending power
of $3.50. 1000 900. and that If occasion
required the board could, by waving
reserve requirements on deposits and
notes only 10 per cent increase the
unused lending power to $500. 00O, 900.
which is twenty-five times as much
as all national banks of the country
ever borrowed at any one time"
