Columbus, Aug. 15.-An unSucceSS-
fu1 attempt to arrest Governor Cox on
a charge of automobile speeding and
a harmless accident to one of the cars
of the newspaper men accompanying
him furnished excitement today in the
Democratic candidates trip back from
Wheeling, w. Va.
The attempt to arrest the governor

accompanied the governor, to have
been planned by the Republicans to
embarrass the Democratic nominee.
General Leyton said warning of the
plan had been received yesterday.
At Jacksontown, Ohio, the governor
and party rode slowly through the
streets, disregarding the outstretched
arms of a shirtsleeved man and a
large group of persons gathered there.
Within a few minutes two motor
cycle officers stopped the cars of the
governor and press correspondents,
declaring all were under arrest and
demanding their return to Jackson
town.
Governor Cox identified himself but
the officers had orders from Jackson
town authorities to arrest all four
automobiles of the party, no matter
who they contained, on charges of
speeding.
you can reach me at the executive
offices at Columbus any time" Gov.
Cox replied, ordering all cars to pro-
ceed and leaving the officers busy TAX
ing down car numbers on the ny.
Soon afterwards, on slippery road,
one of the press cars was forced out
of the road and was partly overturned
in avoiding heavy traffic. The occu-
pants were shaken up but unhurt and
were brought here in the governors
car.

WILL Be NO PANIC
IN THIS COUNTRY
GOVERNOR FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD SAYS PRICE CUTTING
is HEALTHY MOVE.
RESTRICTION OF CREDITS
Harding Convinced Foundation Is Be.
Ing Cut from Under the specuIa-
tors-says World Wide Lack
of Capital.

Washington.-Gov. Harding Of the
Federal Reserve Board thinks that the
drop in prices throughout the country
come as a result Of restriction OF
credits, and it will keep up until the
country is back upon a sound basis.
By combining loans to essential indus
tries and properly protecting non-es-
sential enterprises the banks of the
country can stop speculation and elm
mate the boarding profiteer. That is
what is going on now.
"The condition resulting from the
lowering of prices is healthy one,"
said Gov Harding. 1--WE realize that
the credit position is extended and
very considerably extended. From the
first of April, 1919. to the first of
April, 1920, the expansion Of bank
credit was about rs per cent. During
the same time there has been an ad-
vance in commodity prices of about
&c per cent This has been accompa-
MED by a decrease in production OF
essential articles"
Gov. Harding is convinced that the
federal reserve banks are cutting the
foundation from the Spectator. His
advice to the bankers at the confer
ence of the Federal Reserve Board of
the federal advisory council here on
the 18th, when four representatives Of
each reserve district were here, was
taken in good faith, and is being acted
upon. The plan is that speculation is
to be curbed, if not eliminated, and
the money used by spectators will
be turned into the proper channels OF
commerce to relieve in part the strain
upon the. financial situation.
Gov. Harding pointed to the reduc-
lions in the prices OF grain and pro-
visions in Chicago. He looks for a
gradual healthful decline.
There is worldwide lack of cap
ital," he said, "and with calls upon the
investment market which cannot be
,Rlet there is an unprecedented demand
for bank credits. The fact must be
recognized that, however desirable on
general principles, continued expan-
sion of trade and industry may be,
such developments must accommodate
themselves to the actual supply Of
capital and credit available"
Gov. Harding says that all "unnec-
essary borrowings for purposes Of
pleasure and luxury should be re-
stricted as far as possible"
