INTEREST RATES

WILL Be LOWER
Federal Reserve Recon-
mendation Is That Money
Placed in Banks Shall Not
Be Regarded investments


Chicago, Jan. 23.-Recommenda-
tions to banks and trust companies
in all federal reserve districts that
no rate in excess of Ia per cent
be paid on net available daily bal
ances, were made in resolutions
adopted today at meeting here of
representatives of the twelve fed
eral reserve ristricts.
The action was taken to conform
to the approval expressed, by the
federal reserve board, through
Governor Harding of the action of
the New York clearing house in
adopting IA per cent as its max
imnm rate.
The conference, which was pre-
sided over by James ID. Forgan of
the First National bank of Chtca-
go, followed a meeting in washing
ton January 6 of the bankers rep
resenting clearing house associa-
tions, called by the federal reserve
board, at which final action on the
question of interest rates on bank
balances was postponed until the
Chicago meeting.
In making the recommendations
today the conference declared:
ut is the opinion of this confer
ence that the federal reserve goard
should be free to establish its rates
of discount without reference TO
any clearing house regulations as
to payment of interest"
This view was expesseh at the
Washington meeting by Governor
Harding who appealed TO the bank
ers not to make scramble for
deposits" by advancing interest
rates on balances and protested
against tendency to turn deposits
into investment funds.

POVERTY IS WINNER
OVER GREAT WEALTH
FOR BOYS CUSTODY

Prescott, Ariz., Jan. 23.-Con-
siderations of wealth or poverty
for George Dennis Piper aged
nearly 4 were today put up to
Superior Judge John ], sweeney
in deciding who of the two
grandmothers of the youngster
should have him, Possession of
the child was sought by Grand
mother Mary Piper, wife of
wealthy Kansan. but because of
the we'll kept appearance of the
little boy and the testimony of
witnesses, the court ordered
that he remain under the care
of Grandmother Tupman. who
raises chickens and sells en-
broidery for a living. The boys
parents. both in i'll health, died
in 1918. The coroner's verdict
in each case was suicide.
Grandmother Piper, now a
resident of Miami, Ariz,, offered
the boy such advantages as her
financial position could warrant.
but witnesses for Grandmother
Tupman testified that she was
giving the boy most careful eco-
nomical and Christian upbring-
ing. Other witnesses declared
that following the death of the
parents the paternal grandpar-
ents did not inquire into the
situation of the boy for ten
months, except to contest the
appointment of Mrs. Tupman as
his guardian and caretaker of his
meager estate. The court, TAX
ing into consideration the testi-
mony of witnesses. the neat,
well cared for condition of the
child and his manly appearance
in court, restored George to his
Grandmother Tupman. denied
the petition of his wealthy other
grandmother and ratified the
guardianship. This is the sec
ond time the case has been con-
tested rv The grandmothers.
Joseph Piper, the boys father,
was a former newspaper man,
Following what was declared to
have been his suicide. the wife
was taken to a hospital where
she threw herself or fell down
a stairway, ending her life.

ing stated privately that the ques-
ton of a treaty compromise on

ship in the senate and in the coun-
try was discussed.
Were there any threats TO bolt

party q was asked of one of the
republican conferees.
Il would rather not answer that
question" came a hesitant reply.
Party solidarity is threatened;
that is all care to say
Senator Johnson was asked re-
garding reports widely circulated
in senate lobby gossip. that decla-
rations had been made of a third
party movement and a bolt from
republican senate leadership if the
Lodge reservations are modified
and the California senator replied;
"Popnycock haven't such a
thought"
lodges Explanation.
Senator Lodge said the meeting
was to give Information to senator's
present regarding the compromise
with the democratic committee.
They represent a large body of
senators who want no change in
the Lodge reservations" said Mr.
Lodge as he smilingly crowded his
way through newspaper corre-
spondents waiting outside the con-
ference room. To the suggestion
that all of those present except
himself and Senator New are iden-
titled with the treaty's foes, Mr..
LODGE answered:
"We must present the question
TO all sides. That was understood
with the democrats. We republi-
cans, in meeting the democratic
leaders, represent nobody but our
selves, Anything we do is tenta
tive and must be referred to sena-
tors. Those present today wanted
to know what We had done"
Bevond-this senator Lodge de-
clined to comment other than IN
state that another bipartisan
meeting of the leaders committees
would be held tomorrow. Other
senator's in tOday's council, how
ever, stated that no teXtual drafts
! of proposed compromise reserya :
tions We're considered
Contention of senators.
The principal protest Of the eight
senators to Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. New,
II was stated, was against holding
any compromise negotiations
| whatever with the democrats, and
secondly, against any change in the
Lodge reservations This view was
outlined in Senator Johnson S
statement after the conference
broke up.
after months Of debate and de-
liberation" said Senator Johnson,
1.-The senate agreed to a set of re-
| serva tons which represent a com
promise. 1t was admitted by
everybody that these reservations,
called the Lodge reservations, were
the very limit that should be done
for the protection of America. In
the language of Senator Lodge,
they constitute the irreducible
minimum. Personally, I am unable
to see how there can be any COM
promise upon the least possible
protection to American or Euro
pean reservations which are the
irreducible minimum in safe
guarding American institutions. To
me there can be no compromise
with American honor, or American
protection"

Washington, Jan. 30. - An
nouncement of the population of
practically all the cities of the
eountryf in September or october
Is the expectation of the director
of the census, Sam l.. Rogers.
Population statistics OF some of
the cities probably will be complet-
ed by March or earlier Washing
ton, d. c. is expected to be the
first AS it was in the thirteenth CEN
sus in 1910. In that year II was
taken April Is, and announced
June "a. Rhode Islands popula-
ton in 1910 was announced first Of
the state on July 81. New YORK
Citys population was announced on
September 2. Boston's September
Ia and Chicago's September is.
The center OF population, Bloom
ington, Ind. was announced July
II. and the countrys total popula-
t IN was made public December 40.
''Fhe enumeration is IN progress
throughout the entire country, =
said Mr Rogers Today. 'Advices
from the supervisors indicate that
during the first week of the WORK
at least 10000 enumerators We're
started.
1--WE find that in some districts
it will be necessary to postpone the
enumeration because of weather
conditions. There has been no OPP
position to furnishing the informa-
ton requested by the enumerators.
THE supervisors report the com =
pletlon Of the enumeration in many
districts, and as rapidly as the
enumerators turn in their portfo-
ios they are being examined in the
office of the supervisor and are be-
ing put in shape to come TO wash
ington. The supervisors have been
instructed to send the schedules as
rapidly as consignments can be
made ready. We therefore natur-
ally expect a large amount of the
work to reach washington during
the latter part of this month or the
first of February, but as a general
rule the enumeration will be com .
pleted throughout the entire coun-
try by the first of February 1t Will
be some time, however, before 1t
will be finished in the districts
where it has been postponed on ac-
count of climatic conditions.
I'VE are organizing a force or
clerks who will be equipped to eX-
anime the schedules as rapidly as
they are received from the super
visors. These clerks will make
preliminary count of the popula-
ton. This preliminary count Will
be made public as rapidly as the
totals for the cities and the minor
divisions are obtained. The popu-
lation Of the cities will be an
nounced first. We hope that the
total population of the country Will
be known in september Or OCTOBER
of the year, and the population @,
the cities should all be announced
by May or June"

Washington, Jan. 2S,-Protests
by a large group of influential re-
publican senators against further
compromises on reservations to the
