FATHER DRAWN
FOR JURY DUTY
Unusual Coincidence Occurs
in Preparing Venire for
linda Myers Trial.

That Alonzo Snyder Of Warren town
ship and father Of Mrs. linda Myers, who
is scheduled 20 go to trial tomorrow
morning in the Marion County Criminal
Court on a charge Of numbering her hus-
band, Frederick A Myers, was drawn as
one OF the seventy five prospective jurors
of q special venire of seventy five, became
known today.
1t was explained by attaches Of the
Criminal Court that Mr.. Snyder had been
drawn out of the box by the jury COM
missioners along with other prospective
Jurors. Baiif Clarence Clegg of the
Criminal Court stated that he instructed
the sherif's office not to serve the jury
summons on Mr.. Snyder because Mr..
Snyder was a relative Of the defendant
and coula not qualify. Mt CIegg is OK
the opinion that it is a strange coinci-
dence."
1t was announced at the sherifrs Office
that no summons for jury service was
issued for Mr.. Snyder.
Announcement was made today by both
the State and the defense that both sides
were ready to begin selecting a jury to-
morrow morning. Mrs. Myers, although

SEES BUSINESS
BASIS SOUNDER
THAN IN YEARS
Comptroller of Currency Re
ports War on Pr0fiteers
Only Need Now.
HITS GOTHAM PIRATES

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE ma
ton today is on a sounder basis,
financially and economically, than it
has been for many years and will
enter on an era of healthy progress
when prices of commodities are fur
ther stabilized, Comptroller of the
Currency Williams said today in his
annual report to Congress.
Comptroller Williams told Con
gress there is urgent need in the
readjustment period to stamp out
profteers in money and commodi-
ties.
While the banking situation is growing
more secure, Williams recommended that
Congress add to this security by Iegis-
lation that viii improve the banking sys-
TEN and increase the security Of bank
depOsitors.
Among the main recommendations for
legislation is one to enable solvent banks
TO meet runs or other sudden emergen-
cies By the use, with Federal reserve
banks, OF good securities that are NOT
now available for such purposes.
URGES BANK
GUARANTY LAW.
He also urges Congress to enact a
bank guaranty law, by which all derOsir
balances Of 5000 and less would be
guaranteed
The effect. he said, would be to bring
hundreds Of millions Of dollars out OF
hiding and into productive use.
Again eriticizing certain New York
bankers, whom he charges with habitu-
ally exacting exorbitant rates of interest
On short time loans, Comptroller VIII
ilams asked an amendment to the ma
donal bank act, providing that member
banks borrowing money from Federal
reserve banks shall be prohibited from
charging more than a fair and reason
able advance over the rate paid the re-
serve banks.
Congress was informed that tightness
OF money in the agricultural and pro
dueing regions has been partly due %
this diversion Of large sums from the
Interior banks to New York to be re-
loaned at higher interest
HUGE PROFITS
BY RELENDING.
During the last year" he said, banks
borrowing from Federal reserve banks a,
from to 6 per cent have been lending
funds to their customers at from 10 to
o. per cent Inere can De no possible
excuse for such rates. These exorbitaut
rates have no parallel in any other civ.
llized country and cannot be defended
in New York"
Williams said the legislation he sug-
gests would stop this form Of piracy
and make available to mercantile, indus
trial and agricultural fields adequate
credit for legitimate needs
Despite the business strain last year,
Williams said, the banks have shown the
best record in immunity from failure
IN forty years.
He estimated the~shrinkage in values in
the United States last year at from SI2.-

today entered the last stretch of the
present legislative session bent on
only one accomplishment, the pas
sage of the annual appropriation
bills before the advent of the new
administration March 4.
The program for the short session
has been reduced day by day until
the passage of the annual supply
bills remains alone as the sum total
of accomplishments desired.
The House will endeavor to pass the
navy and fortiicatiOns appropriation bin
this week, Republican Leader Mondell
said. The Senate hopes to pass the sun
dry civil bill before tomorrow night and
then take up the postofice bill if 1t is
not certain that an early vote can be
had on the emergency tariff bill"

DANIELS AND BAKER
UNDER ATTACK.
Monden attacked Secretaries Daniels
and Baker for submitting such large pro-
grams to Congress, claiming that in for

to mean that the United States favors
huge armaments.

Senator Johnson, California.
The resolution pointed out that vio-
lence has been so serious as to lead to
the calling out Of Federal troops.

WILSON GIVES
HIS REASONS.
1T would be manifestly unfair for me
to take any action which would inter

boards" the President said in his tele-
gram. In their action I think we may
repose entire confidence. To seek to In

thing which has been placed within
their jurisdiction by Congress would be
unwise and open to grave objection"
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler. chairman Of the
