NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT
Excess Reserve Cut Down to $2,'
o7f.420-Heavy Loan Reduction

o7t,420-Reavy Loan Reduction
Today's New York bank statement
was big disappointment. The excess
reserve above legal requirements showed
a surprising decrease of SIS 900, ,740,
reducing the actual surplus to S2,071, e
400.
This was largely due to the loss in
the reserve account with the Federal
Reserve Bank of $23, ,419 900. Liabili-
ties were on the other hand, materially
reduced by the falling off of $50, 1876, :
600 in demand deposits. Loans and
discounts showed decrease of $32 1888, =
600. indicating considerable reduction
Of the borrowings of the member banks

Montana Democrat Declares It
1t Merely Method of Buy
ing the Soldier Vote.

Washington, May 29.-The soldier re-
lief bill was passed today by the house,
289 to 90, and sent to the senate. Under
the program that brought the final
showdown, two-thirds vote for the
measure was necessary for passage and
it was obtained after fight, during
which three test votes indicated de-
feat Of the measure.
Declaring a cash soldier bonus would
put the dollar mark on patriotism, Sem
ator. Myers, democrat, Montana, told
the senate today that in his opinion
the agitation for such a bonus simply
was "a scheme of both political parties
to buy the soldier vote.'
II am in favor said Senator Myers,
"of doing everything within the bounds
of reason for our former service men
who are disabled from wounds or other
results of their service. Furthermore,
favor liberal legislation and appropri- :
ations to reclaim lands for such former
service men as may desire to acquire
land and follow farm life.
But am not willing to lend gov
ernment money to former service men
to buy homes in cities and towns. I
am also opposed to the payment of
any cash bonus to former service men.

patriotic, unwise and un-American.

Bristol, r. l., May 29.-Troops of
cavalry and coast artillery patrolled
Bristol streets today to prevent a repe-
tition of the rioting that occurred yes
terday when striking employees of the
National India Rubber Company sought
to prevent other workers from enter
ing the plant. Governor Beeckman has
declared the city "in a state of insur-
rection" and was expected to come here
to inspect the situation personally.
No effort was made to open the
plant this morning.
During the night cavalry guards dis
persed several groups of strikers near
the factories, but without clashing.
Governor Beeckman in a statement
issued in connection with his proclama-
ton, declaring the town in state of
insurrection, said:
1.-The governor is determined that vi

WOMAN SOCIALIST
FREED FROM PEN

Washington, May 29-President Will
son today commuted to expire at once
the five year sentence imposed on
Mrs. Kate Richard O'Hara. of St. Louis,
who was sentenced on April IL, 1919.
to five years in the federal penitentiary
at jefferson City. Mo-, for violation Of
the espionage act. She was accused
of having in a speech at BowLaan.
N. D., compared mothers who allowed
their sons to become soldiers as brood
sows.'
Mrs. O'Hara was one Of the prisoners
which the recent socialist national
convention at New York asked TO be
released.
Secretary Tumulty later announced
that the president had acted in Mrs.
O'Hara's case on the recommendation
of the attorney general and that the
action had no relation TO the case OF
Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate for
president, whose release also has been
asked by the socialist convention.

DEBS IS NAMED
BY SOCIALISTS
Is First Time in History Presi-
Dental Nominee Was No
titled in Prison.

Atlanta, Ca, May 29.-Eugene "
Debs, nominated for the fifth time as
socialist candidate for president of the
United States, today was formally no
titled Of his nomination in the warden's
office at the federal prison here. where
Debs is serving a ten-year term for
violation of the espionage act. 1t was
the first time in history a candidate
for president of the United States has
been rendered the nomination and ac-
cepted it while a prisoner in the peni
tentiary.
Attired in his prison suit of blue
denim, Debs showed great joy at meet
ing his comrades composing the nom
mating committee, greeting each with
a kiss. The committee consisted of
Seymour Stedman, Debs' running mate
on the socialist ticket; James O'Neal,
julius Gerber, Otto Branstetter and
DR.. Madge Patton Stephens, of Debs'
home town, Terre Haute, Ind, and
friend of the Debs family.
BY the prison rules, the socialist
leader could issue no formal state
ment, but he made a speech of ac-
ceptance. Declaring that only the good
of the party, which he considered para :
mount, persuaded him to be candi-
date now, he spoke for more than half
an hour reviewing previous nominations
he had accepted and discussing plat
form as adopted at the recent national
convention of the socialists. Some of
Debs' pointed comments were: Il have
always been a radical, never more so
than now. I have nvere been afraid
of being too radical, but have feared
to become too conservative"
There is a tendency in the socialist
party to become a party of politicians
instead of a party of workers. This
ought to be checked. We are not IN
politics to get office, but to achieve
the industrial emancipation of the
working class.
Before beginning to serve my time
here, I made several addresses sup
porting the Russian revolution, which 1
believe is the greatest single achieve
ment in the history of mankind. l
said I was a bolshevik. l meant it
then and I mean it now. 1 did not
mean 1 was a Russian bolshevik in
America, but that l was fighting for
the same thing in America that they
are fighting for in Russia.
"The dictatorship of the proletariat
is simply a term which the hostile
press had used against us. We are
opposed to dictatorship of any kind.
We stand for freedom, equal rights
and justice for all.
II am heartily in favor of the Rus
sian revolution and think we should
support it with all our power.
Debs concluded by saying: with
all my heart, return thanks and ap-
probation to you for the honor you
have done me. I may not be able to
Join you in the activities of the cam
paign, but you can rest assured that
if l am here, my spirit will breathe out
through those bars so that comrades
will know my heart beats with theirs"
At the conclusion of Debs' talk, news
paper men and others Withdrew whiie
Debs and members of the committee
conferred on policies and problems of
the socialist party.
