WHILE MANY SUFFER
SENATOR SMITH LAYS BARE
DISTRESSING CONDITIONS
AND MAKES PLANS TO PUT
WEALTH TO WORK TO RE-
LIEVE CREDIT. ~ 49,, s

Washington, July 5.-While mil
lions are out of employment and
business is languishing for want OF
financial assistance cool billion dol
lars in surplus good which might be
pesd to relieve the situation, is lying
idle in the vaults Of the treasury de-
,partment, it developed today.
It also developed that within the
next few days legislation will be in
troduced in congress for the purpose
of utilizing this vast fund to ease
the stringent credit conditions which
are held mainly responsible for the
present economic distress. f.
AT the same time, It was disclosed
that. an investigation Of the federal
reserve board likewise will be sought
to determine the reason for the pre-
,vaiiing high interest rates on loans
and to ascertain the truth Of reports
that federal reserve banks are COM
pelling manufacturers and farmefs
to throw their products on the mark
ct at sacrifice prices, in order to
liquidate their loans. II: '',s..
Senator Smith Of South Carolina
wfs6 revealed the situation and will
sponsor the relief measures, de-
scribed it today as ''the most mon
strous showing that was ever made
in the midst of the most distressing
such a. contingency as this" =
merce and production in this coun-
ry." Continuing the senator de-
elared: A
aWe had thought that we had
found q solution Of at least the acute
and terrific form Of panics that in']
time past have stayed our progress
and blasted the hopes Of millions but
here we are in the midst Of one, the
worst perhaps in our history, while
We have an oversupply of money ly-
ing unused in the vaults Of the fed
e5al reserve board which we created
for the purpose of meeting just
such Contingency as this"
According to Senator Smith, there
is no excuse for the situation and to
correct it he has in preparation a bill
which. will provide that whenever a
surplus exists in excess Of legal re-
quirements the federal reserve
banks shall lower their interest rate
accordingly. .',

ROAD TAX RETURNS
 SET HIGH AVERAGE
YILONIA DISTRICT FIRST
Has Only 1-3 Delinquent, with Dam- ascus District Ncxt-Soma Yet
 to Pay Benefits.

Collection of benefits for the three road improvement districts in Faulk- ner county show a high percentage already paid in it is shown on com pilation of the returns by Sheriff and Collector W. M. Brady.
 To date the delinquent taxes due the Conway and Vilonia district com prise only 1 1-3 per cent of the total collectible this year. The district has the largest acreage of the three and also the largest number of individual tax payers.
 It has already been announced that only 3 per cent of the benefits as- sessed for the Conway and Damascus highway is delinquent.
 In the Conway and Palarm district, the delinquents are approximately 6 per cent of the total, but more collec- tions will be made and this figure re- duced.
 The total assessed for the Conway and Palarm District is $29,123.09, from which is deducted $8854 charg- ed against the collector through er- TOT. Benefits assessed against the Missouri Pacific, payment of which has been suspended pending the de- cision of the federal circuit court of appeals upon the litigation brought by the company, total S2,425. 73 The net taxes collectible is accordingly $26,608.S2. Of this amount only S1,596.71 is delinquent, or approxi- mately per cent of the net total.
 Collection still to be made by the district include several large tracts of land on the Arkansas river, which will doubtless be turned in to the col lector within a short time. The amounts are large enough to consider ably reduce the percentage now de- linquent.
 In the Conway and Vilonia district, which has made the best record of the three, the total charged against Sher- if Brady for this year was S38, ,8000,51 from which is deducted $310.97 charged through error, leaving net total of $38,4S9.54. Benefits against the Missouri Pacific, payment for which is suspended for the reason giv- en above, total S452 23 Exclusive of this item, the total correctly charged against the collector was $38, ,037.3l and delinquent taxes total $623.10 or 1 1-3 per cent.

HELD PRISONER
 FOR 16 YEARS
Daughter Gagged by Mother in Darkened Room Without
 Light or Air.
BUT ONE PERSON KNEW
When Found by Humane Officer Girl Was Wearing Child's Bonnet and Chid's Clothing-Has the
 Mentality of a Child.

Ballston, N. Y.-There may be a the strange case of Miss Jennie Hall, who for 16 years was held a prisoner by her mother, Mrs. Catherine Hall. and another daughter, in a tumble down shack near Round Lake, a short distance from Ballston, Saratoga coun- ty, New York.
 During all of this period Jennie never saw the light of day except as it may have slightly filtered through a heavily planked window. Never ex- cept twice did she see another human being except her mother and her sis ter. Never in the Is years until hu- mane officer from Saratoga entered her dark prison the other day did she see man, and at sight of the un- usual spectacle she tainted.
 Only One Neishbor Knew
 Only one neighbor knew that such a being as she existed, and it was this neighbor who finally brought the mat ter to the attention of the Saratoga County Humane society, whose super intendent, William Hennessy, investi- gated and led the affrighted woman who is thirtyone years old, away from her prison. Other neighbors consid- cred the Hall family-mother and daughter, as "queer,' and the shack in which they lived was avoided.
 Jennie has the mentality of child When found by the humane officer she was wearing a child's bonnet, which apparently she dearly prized, and child's clothing.
 Jennie at one tlOe-some twenty years ago-was for a brief time an in- mate of the State Hospital for the h. sane at Utica. When she returned to her home she vanished from sight, to live the intervening years up to the present buried in living prison.
 The mentality of the mother and the other daughter Is now being in- quired into and action in the case of Jennie will be taken accordingly.
 Mystery in Key.
 The element of mystery centers around key found tied in the apron of the mother, Mrs. Hall. Evidently the key fits something, but the some
