MAY CHANGE PLAN

Local Bankers Have I'm
portant Matters to
Consider.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

An important meeting of the Wash
ington Clearing House Association
will be held this afternoon at 4
O'Clock. at which several propositions
will be brought forward for action.
one proposition calls for advancing
the hour of the daily clearings to 10
o'clock rather than the II o'clock
hour. as a present in vogue
Unless some other methods OF max
ing settlements between banks than
now obtains is agreed upon this
earlier hour will probably be adopted
as the present cleartn9s are not known
to bankers until midday New York
time. and that is almost too late to
permit Of the calling of call loans
such action.
With an hour earlier the local insti
tutions will be able to continue bust
ness as before the daylight saving
became effective in New York.
Another suggestion upon which
action NAV be taken is a development
of the last District convention, wher
Robert V. Fleming offered a plan &c
do away with the present settlements
after the daily clearings. as between
banks. cash and New York or Other

Government Soon to Wind
Up Evidence Against

Because the government was un-
able to exhaust its evidence in a
hearing that lasted throughout tue

The hearing yesterday brought
forth the testimony of several gov

The charge against Stonewall
jackson Yeatman and Mrs. Sarah
Wilson Lupton, the manufacturers
of "Razo." a flavOring extract, is
the violation of the national prohi'
bition act, inasmuch as the gov
ernment chemists assert that their
product contains more alcohol than
is necessary.
The plant of the Razo Manufac,
turers was raided by the revenue
officers on July Is. Yeatman was
taken into custody at the time, and
Mrs. LuptOn appeared before Com

sponse to a phone call. Their bond

BRITAIN YIELDS
BAN ON MANNIX
Archbishop to Be Allowed
On English Soil-Barred
From Ireland.
(By Universal Seryice.)

London, Aug. 3.-Resisting heavy
pressure from many quarters, Pre-
mier David Lloyd George has de-
clined to reverse his decision which
forbids Archbishop Mannix to land
in Ireland.
The government has been hostile
to the Australian prslate ever since
he took a stand in opposition to
conscription in Australia during the
war.
Conscrption measures were de-
feated. He is regarded by the gov
ernment as one of the least de-
sirable citizens of the empire.
The Premier will allow the arch
bishop to land on English soil, al
though it is clear from the state
ment which Sir Hamar Greenwood
made last week, that such was not
the original intention. The inten-
tion was to prevent him from land
ing in the United Kingdom.
The government then was known
to have contemplated diverting his
journeyings to the continent. In
spired statements today point out
that the original statement of Lloyd
George on the subject referred only
to ireland.

OBrien Charges Save the

Allegations that the "pure milk"

in Washington, veiled the selfish
motives of a group of large milk
concerns and quasi-scientists were
made yesterday by Matthew E.
oBrien. attorney for a number Of
dealers and producers Of milk.

the existence of an alleged milk
trust with the Department of Jus

authorities is being aided by the
attorney.
"For six years" o'Brien said last
night, this organization had a press
bureau in Washington which dis.
seminated information of a biased
nature. The cry of save the babies
arose, and everyone was assured
that Washington was being supplied d
with dirty milk.
"Washingtonians have been the
victims Of q wrong education" said
o'Brien. They have been intimi.
dated into believing that all milk
