II. II. Banks. president Of the Columbis
Savings Bank, when shown dispatches
from Washington saying that farmers
were demanding q decrease in the redis.
count rate Of the federal reserve banks.
R. B. Price Of the Boone County Nation
al Bank, which is member Of the fed

bank was handling all the legitimate de-

According to the press report. farmers
in session in Washington asked the gov

caused by the general decline in prices.
E. A. Logan, Missouri agricultural
statistician, said that there had been
some complaint among farmers that un-
just discrimination was being made
against the farmers in rediscounting
paper at the federal reserve banks. He
said that the farmers claimed that the
banks were placing such obstacles on
obtaining money ON cattle and other
live stock that il was almost impossible
for them to borrow money to tide them
over the unproductive period. The banks
in the reserve cities say that they arc
ready to rediscount all farm paper that
the outlying banks bring to them.

'fon'ed with lis, Of fifteen proposec
A"enoments TO the constitution of Mis-
SCUM. One or two Of these amendment,
nave pcen well advertised in the state b,
certain organizations that are eager ,c
sec them carry. OF the others little ha.
been heard.
VI hrst importance to the people Of
Missouri is the proposed fifteenth amend
ment which provides a new mode Of re.
mfe date for submitting to the voters the
nsing the constitution and sets a def.
custom of calling a constitutional con.
senhon- If this amendment carries the
custom shall there be a convention to
ies,se and amend the constitutional will
De voted on at special election on the
hrst Tuesday in August, 1921.
Friends Of this amendment claim thai
1t is the greatst reform now before the
people OF the state" They point out
that before the school system Of the
stale can be adequately financed that
Inc state must have a new constitution.
Speakers here have repeatedly asserted
that new constitution would mean much
for the University.
Among these fifteen amendments there
are several that are Of primary interest
only TO the voters of the large cities The
second amendment authorizes cities hay.
ing a population of more than 100 1000
inhabitants to frame and amend their
charters BY less difficult methods than
are now provided.
The third proposed amendment would
permit an increase of indebtedness ,ba,
large cities NAV incur. This nrov;s;or
applies only to cities Of 5000 or NOR.
This would permit the cities ,o raise

Two amendments are PROMISED which
aim to better the conditions of N;ssour;
roads. Amendment number 50 would
authorize a majoriiy of qualified voters

levy for road purposes not exceeding 50
cents Of the 500 valuation. The sixth
proposed amendment authorizes the issue
of s60,0O0,O0O worth Of bonds for the
purpose Of constructing hard surfaced
roads. Il provides that the interest on
the bonds will be paid from the automo.
bile tax and that the principal will be
largely retired from the same source.
A strong fight is being made for this
amendment BY various organizations.
First among these is the Missouri Good
Roads Federation. 1t has covered Mis-
souri, with its motto, Lift Missouri Ou,

Missouri Farm Bureau Federation. have
passed resolutions approving this amend

New York, Feb. 8.-Herbert Hoover
tonight issued a statement defining his
attitude toward the presidency. He
says he is not a candidate and no one

spending TO requests for his party al
Iegiance, he says he will wait until
it is more definitely established what
the party managers stand for. He will
exercise the prerogative of American

himself to vote blindfolded.
The statement continues, Il could
not vote with n party dominated by
groups seeking to control the govern
ment for profit and privilege nor with
n party dominated by groups hoping
for any form of socialism whether ma
of industry or other de-
struction individual of initiative lie
does not believe in more than two par

Mines
Still FLOODED
Some Coal May Be Obtained in
1921 But Mines Will Not
Be Clear for Years.

Paris, Feb. S.-Although all possible
efforts to reconstruct the war-shat-
tered mines of Lens have been and are
being made, there is now no hope that
a single ton of coal will be extracted
before 1921. In fact, the task of bring
ing back Lens to its former prosperity
is so immense that it is not expected
that the town and it's mines will re-
turn to anything like their former
state before 1928 or 1929
Provided that the work can be car
ried on without interruption, it will
take all 1920 to clear the underground
workings of the debris with which
they We're choked by the Germans.
Most of the workings, and all the
deeper ones, are flooded.
A plan for drawing off the water
has been arranged. The reconstruction
and repair of the tubing will be car
ried out by German workmen, and the
cement for the purpose will be brought
from Germany. The pumping out OF
the mines is expected to take at least
three years. It is hoped that by next
year it will be possible TO extract coal
from the first galleries. which are only
500 feet deep, but it is not expected
that the water will be pumped out OF
the lower workings, which run down to
, $50 yards, until 1923 or even 1924.
The railways in the Lens district
will not be completely repaired TIL 1921.
Of the 500 workmen's dwellings belong
ing to the miners society, not a hun
dred can be repaired. Four hundred
huts are to be built in which
It is hoped to house the 5000 workers
who will be employed in the clearing

MISSING AUTO
FOUND BURNED
Car Was Stolen Night After
George COOley's Murder on
Streets of the City.
NO ARRESTS YET MADE
Theory That Disappearance of
Car Had Something to Do
With Murder Abandoned
NO ARRESTS YET MADE

Identity of the green automobile re-
ported stolen from Cy Williams on the
night of December 2Sth was established
yesterday by members of the United
Auto Sales Co., the car being found
just beyond Millview and burned al
most beyond recognition. Officers
went to the scene late Saturday even
ing but at that time only the charred
running gear was found. No marks
of identity We're found at that time but
on second trip yesterday the engine
of the car was found and the number
on it proved that this was the car that
originally was reported stolen.
At the time of the first investigation
only the charred body was found. Yes
terday the engine was found nearby.
In the meantime the body was being
moved by some men who were sus-
pected of being implicated in the burn
ing of the car. These men were dis
covered in the act of moving parts
of the body it is said. Arrests are ex-
pected this morning in connection with
the burning Of the missing car.
This car was stolen the night fol-
lowing the murder of George Cooley
and the night that Roper, who was out
on $500 bond charged with larceny in
connection with the Malamo store rob-
berry, left the city, FORGETTING the bond
the next morning. 1t had been ru-
mored on the streets that the disap-
pearance of the car might be con-
nected with either the murder or
Roper's leaving. The finding of the
burned car clears this part of the
mystery.
The car was reported being in a va
cant barn beyond Millview, the place
being deserted. Men who reported see
ing the car said that it bore the same
as the Cy Williams car. This
was early last week. The report came
in Saturday that in the meantime the
car had been burned. The United
Auto Sales company refused to make
statement of their opinion of the burn
ing of the finding of the car. But
it is understood that arrests are ex-
pected this morning of parties sus-
pected of the destruction.
The whereabouts of the car was first
