ban SPECULATION
IS AIM OF SENATE
PASSES ADMINISTRATION MEA-
SURE DESIGNED TO CHECK
EXCESSIVE BORROWING.
HARDING GIVES HIS APPROVAL
Protect Nations Producing
-lndustries-Must Be
Stopped.

WASHINGTON. The administra-
ton measure under which the federal
reserve board hopes to effectually
check speculation has been passed
by the senate and now goes to the
president.
Under the bill, discount rates at
each Of the 12 reserve banks with the
approval, review and determination
Of the federal reserve board may be
graduated or progressed on the basis
Of amount of advances and discount
accommodations extended by the fed
eral reserve bank to the borrowing
bank"
Harding Recommends Measure.
Enactment of this measure as an
amendment to the federal reserve
law was recommended by Governor
Harding of the federal reserve board
in his annual report.
Governor Harding in his annual re.
port said that "in this way it would
be possible to reduce excessive Dor.
rowings of member banks and in
duce them to hold their own large
borrowers in check without raising
the basic rate. The federal reserve
banks would thus be provided with an
effective method of dealing with
credit expansion more nearly at the
source than is now practicable and
without unnecessary hardship to
banks and borrowers, who are con
Quoting their affairs within the
bounds of moderation"
"The expansion of credit. set in mo-
tion by the war, must be checked" he
said. Credit must be brought under
effective control and its flow be
once more regulated and governed
with careful regard to the economic
welfare of the country and the needs
of its producing industries"

Dave became interested. He saw
two or three others lose fives and tens.
1t was plain his companions tip was
straight. There was just one way to
beat this game, but 1t was simple
enough when you knew how. He
sided close to the table, making great
pretense of Indifference. but watching
the cards closely with his keen black
eyes. The dealer showed his hand,
made few quick passes, and the
black card flew out to the right. This
was Dawes chance. He pounced on
1t with his left hand, while his other
plunged into his pocket
Sixty dollars on this one" he cried,
and there was the triumphant note in
his voice of the man who knows he
has beaten the other at his own game.
You amt playin'." said the dealer.
You amt in on this"
THAT don't CO." said Dave very
quietly. You're playin' a public game

All Russians have been disarmed

Throughout last night the Japanese
fought with rifles, machine guns,

Russians were taken by surprise, the
Japanese moves toward occupation
having been unexpected by the party
in power.

Many Russians escaped into the hill
country behind the city, whence they
had come two months ago when the
all-Russian government of Admiral
Kolchak fell before the attacks Of a
revolutionary party.
The Japanese launched their attack
in the Korean quarter, which they
occupied. Later they marched Ko-

gether with ropes, through many of
the streets.

group watching gaudily dressed in

hand trick with three cards on
table.
Smooth guy, that" said someone at
his side. The remark was evidently
intended for Dave, and he turned
toward the speaker. He was man
somewhat smaller than Dave, two or
three years older, well dressed in
town clothes, with rather puffy face
and gold-filled tooth from which
corner had been broken as though to
accommodate the cigarette which
hung there.
"Yes," said Dave. Then, as it was
apparent the stranger was inclined to
be friendly, he continued whats the
idea?"
The stranger nudged him gently.
Come out of the bunch" he said In
low voice. When they had moved a
little apart he went on, in a cOnfiden-
tial tone: "He has little trick with
three cards that brings him in the
easy coin. He's smooth as grease, but
the things simple. Oh. it's awful
simple! Now you watch him for a
minute" and they watched through
an opening in the crowd about the
table. The player held three cards
two red ones and black. He passed
them about rapidly over the table, oc-
casionally turning his hand sideways
so that the Onlookers could see the
position of the cards. Then he sud-
denly threw them face down on the
table, each card by itself.
"The trick is to locate the black
card" Dawes companion explained.
"It's easy enough If you keep your
eye on the card, but the trouble with
these rubes is they name the card and
then start to get out their money, and
while they're fumbling for it he
makes change so quick they never

BARNES CIRCUS
!. SHOWING TODAY

AL. G. Barnes big four ring wild
animal circus is here to show this
afternoon and tonight.
Z A great deal of space is given by
the newspapers to the elegance and
newness of the show equipment this
year. and the opening spectacle, a
fairy creation, namely, "Alice in jun
gleland."
A big equine number, consisting of
40 dancing horses and 40 dancing
girls. is getting splendid criticism, as
s the number Of good clown features.
A marine band of 40 pieces is an
innovation, and consists of former
members of the show who have been
in marine service during the war
period and returned to their positions
at the request of Mr.. Barnes. They
are under the able direction of Ed
ward Woenecker, who has led the con-
cert band for several seasons. Music
is big factor for the Barnes Circus
as it is cue for the animals in their
work.
Mr.. Barnes says that he has found
music great aid in helping animals
through difficult places in their per-
formance. 1t seems the one factor
that both man and beast understands.
Animals, especially the cats, being
supersensitive to sounds and vibra-
tiorls, will much more readily under
stand what is wanted of them if
proper music is played. That is why
jungle jazz bands find leading place
on the shows program, and why the
best and most subtle music is re-
quired from the concert band.
OF the musical numbers, Miss Bes-
sic Harvey, spoken of as the prima
donna of the circus, is pleasing

UP IN THE AIR
Continued from Second Page(

Here came the only part of the trip
we were afraid of, for many had told
Us that landing was not only disagree
able but often dangerous. However,
that Partridge person. who flies like
an eagle can light like swallow. He
circled the field. getting lower all the
time, then shut off and came down in
long, gentle glide. AS the steadily
rising ground seemed a little way off,
he started the engine again. turning
on just enough power to give the ma
chine Roadway, and we hardly knew
the difference between the air and
terra firma. The plane ran smoothly
over the field almost to its former
stand, to which it was pushed by hand,
and the trip was over.
From the time the plane first moved
until it stopped was twenty minutes,
OF which at least four were taken in
getting off the ground and ahghtlng.
The trip to Ocala took eight minutes,
the trip back not more than five.
We thanked the aviator for the
most eventful trip of our life, and he
lost his somewhat Wearied expression
and smiled in way that proved CIV
ing pleasure to other people was a
genuine pleasure to him.
The Wrigley circus will be out at
the farms all day today. and we sup
pose many of our people will avail
themselves of it for air trips. Such
of them as do so will have a great
pleasure All the aviators are ex-
service men. had their training in the
army and continue to fly as much or
more for liking of their calling as for
the money there is in it. We would
not have missed our trip for any
money, and would repeat it this after
noon if we had the time.
The aviators are Messrs. Elmer
Partridge, Paul Minor and NimmO
Black. Their assistants. whose skill
and care keep the planes safe and eff
fcient, are Messrs. James Pickens and
A J. Adams. All highly intelligent
and cool-headed men, very pleasant to
meet and making new friends by the
