COERCION CHARGED
TO RESERVE BANK
OPENING OF CASE AGAINST
INSTITUTION AT ATLANTA
MARKS FINAL ROUND.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Charges
that officials OF the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, acting in concert
with reserve banks of other districts
have joined in a conspiracy to force
small banks throughout Georgia to
become members of the federal re-
serve system were pressed before the
supreme court today by counsel for
the American Bank and Trust Com
pany OF Atlanta, and more than forty
other financial institutions.
Ruin Country Banks.
This action is to be compelled re-
pardless OF its ruinOus effect upon
country banks and the destruction OF
their usefulness in the small communi-
ties they serve" the court was told.
Opening OF the case today marked
the final round of the par collection
fight involving the right OF the federal
reserve board to insist upon collection
of members checks without deduction
of the nominal charge from which, 1t
was alleged. most banks obtain a large
part of their revenue.
Appeals From Decision.
The case came here on appeal from
4 decision of the federal court OF
Georgia which. sustained a demurrer
of the board. The state banks ask that
the temporary restraining order now
preventing the Atlanta reserve bank
from collecting the par collection or
der be made permanent.

Detroit by a ring of aliens, according
to information given today to lnspec-

More than 200 girls, between IA and
10 wears old, were en- route from Ar

lajian declared.
In making the charges she said she
represented Armenian women OF this

Daughters and sisters of aliens al
ready in Detroit were being sold In
spector Short was told.
Girls residing in the war-strlcken
countries are sold through their pho
tographs, she explained, as relatives
in this city sell the pictures to mem
bers of the ring. Persons desiring to
purchase girls select photographs and
order the girls to be brought to De
troit, paving deposits of from $500 to
$500, she said.
"Most girls have seen so much pow

SOUTHWEST BANKS
HOLD CREDIT TIGHT
KANSAS CITY FEDERAL RE-
SERVE URGES BORROWERS
TO SELL SECURITIES.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Among
farmers, cattlemen and other agricul-
tural interests in need of funds at this
season the growing tightness of mon
ey in the southwest is forcing extreme
caution in the use of credit. There IS
hope that the betterment in. the east
will prove helpful to the southwest,
but few bankers are counting on any
important relief from that source.
Seeding operations and other spring
agricultural activities are absorbing
credit at rate in excess of the inflow
of money into the southwest. This in
brief explains the growing tightness OF
money in this territory in the face OF
reports of improvement in the east.
Probably no class is being checked
as much in the use of credit as cattle
men. y ormallY, cattle men are heavy
borrowers in the spring for the fnanc-
ing of purchase of thin stock to go to
summer pastures. The credit usually
required to finance this phase of the
live stock business in the southwest
alone reaches millions OF dollars in
the spring. Having failed to accumu-
late surplus credit to any important
degree during the winter the bankers
of the southwest are extending very
little credit to cattle men now.
Wheat, corn, cotton and other crops
are selling at less than so per cent of
the prices OF year ago. Sheep are
more than 50 per cent lower than a
wear ago, while cattle and hogs show
declines of about As per cent. Thus,
less money is required to finance the
handling OF the products OF the south
west. This will tend to minimize the
strain, but the lower prices are handi-
Gaping farmers in liquidating out
standing loans.
To avoid expansion in loans as much
as possible the Federal Reserve Bank
of Kan sas City is suggesting to its
borrowers that they arrange for the
sale of government securities. The
member banks are following this adj
vice.

Praise God from whom all blessings

Praise Him all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, we heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost"
In simple grandeur the notes and
words of the old doxology arose from
half a thousand threats; a stalwart,
white-headed Hawaiian senator and
pastor spoke solemn benediction, and
sixty-four men and women-once lep-
ers-fled between the lava pillars of
Kalihi's gates to freedom, back to a
world from which they had been out

at least had believed they never would

On the day the sixty and four were
paroled friends and relatives gathered
from far and near in the islands to
greet those who came out of the vale
OF shadow. Behind hedge stood one
group of smiling inmates, behind a
frail wire fence another happy group.
One group was to go back to the
world the other was to remain for
further treatment.
Still another group, and larger, was
gathered on the other side OF the wire
fence; they were the mothers, fathers,
brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and
friends of the paroled patients.
The clear voice of Hawaiian wo-
man started singing the doxology
others swelled the volumes, and, to
the accompaniment of rustling palms
and the hum of warm trade wind in
the trees, the air of thankfulness and
praise carried through to its last grand
note.

THE STEAM ROLLER
CRUSHES MINORITY
PROTEST OF DEMOCRATS EFF
FECTIVELY SQUELCHED, AND
WITH GREAT ALACRITY.

WASHINGTON, D. Con the
first day of the extra session OF con-
gress the republican steam roller made
fast initial trip across the aisles OF
the house and hattened out small
and protesting democratic minority. A
few minutes later the same roller made
another journey just as ruthless IN its
effect. 8
The rout of the demoEatic minority
was accomplished first when the re-
publicans seated, by vote OF 2S4 to
liz, Representative Richard E. Bird,
of Kansas, accused by the democrats
of having spent too much in getting
himself elected. Representative Hal ID.
Flood, OF Virginia, moved that Mr..
Bird be prohibited from taking the
oath of office and special committee
be named to investigate his election
expenses. which Mr.. Flood said eX-
ceeded the legal limit OF $4,000 speci-
fed in the corrupt practices act: After
debate the republicans seated Mr.
Bird with great alacrity, saying his
credentials were as good as those OF
anybody else.
Same Old Rules Adopted.
Shortly thereafter Chairman Camp
bell, of the rules committee, moved
the rules of the sixty-seventh congress
! be the same as the rules of the sixty
sixth congress. These included a pro-
viso for the suspension OF house rules
on a two thirds vote.
In rather plaintive voice Represent
alive Pou, of North Carolina, COM
planned that the democrats did not
have a membership equal to one-third
of the house and, therefore, the repub-
lican majority alone was sufficient to
suspend the rules and jam through
Legislation even if every democrat vot-
ed not to suspend. The house stands
3O1 republicans, 13l democrats, | So
cialist and 2 vacancies.
Representative Pou urged change
in the rule so that a three-fourths ma
iority would be required to suspend
the regular rules OF the house. This
change. he said, would give fair
show between the parties and result
more in the consideration of questions
on their merit. However, the camp
bell motion prevailed.
Gillette Re-Elected Speaker.
Representative Gillette, of Massa-
chusetts, was reelected speaker over
Representative Kitchin, of North Car
DINA, by vote of 298 to 122. The
roll call showed 42l OF the ABS mem
bers present. The vacancy in Califor-
MIA having been filled by Representa-
tive Lineberger and vacancy having
been caused by death in Alabama,
the political alignment OF the house
is 301 republicans, l3l democrats and
! socialist.

In the great process Of crop-growlng.
