BABY MARIE OSBORNE COMING TO PALACE

Agnes Johnson was selected to adapt Daddy Long Legs" to the screen for Mary Pickford because she excels in imaginative work and understanding of the youthful mind; and for the very same reason, "The Old Maids Baby which she wrote especially for Baby Marie Osborne, is the best, so far, of all the plays in which the winsome star has appeared on the Pathe program. And that is saying much, as the direction. by William Bertram, of all these delight full stories, have given them high value above the initial authorship. Like Agnes Johnson. MT. Bertram is a sympathetic student of child psy- chology. and this combination is made to splendid advantage in Baby Marie's latest play. which will be shown at the Palace Theater on Thursday.

BOSTON, Aug 10.-Song and story are wrong Captain Kidd was not pirate and his Tabled treasure does not exist. Priyateersman he was, but of good repute His hang ing as pirate and murderer on Execution Dock at London in 1701 was to satisfy the political .exigen- cies of the time. t'.lts,. ],
 These are the fndirgs of John H. Edmonds, state archi2ist for Massachusetts, as announced in a lecture at the old SouIh Meeting House. Arclliyiat Edmonds was dis cussing Lord 48qliomont and the Pirates. Atf. usE .EiBAs r Bellomont he sair, was appoint ed Governor CT New England in 1895 with q special mission to sup press piracy .

The adventurers included Captain Kidd. Robert Livingston, Lord Chancellor Somers. the Earl of Orford (First Lord of the Ad- miralty) the Earl of Romney and the Duke of Shrewsbury Secretaries of State). Bellomont and the straw men, to whom the kings grant of treasure was later made, did not contribute cent.

JEWS ORGANIZE BANKING SYSTEM
 LIKE IN AMERICA
Federal Reserve System Or '' ganized in Poland to
 Aid Impoverished, ., ;.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A new method of administering financial aid to the Jews of Poland. by an organization backed by. $1,000.000 capital and formed along the lines of the Federal Reserve System of banks in the United States, was an nounced here today by the American Jewish Relief Committee.
 The plan, which has just been adopted by the executive committee of the joint distribution committee, it is said, was devised by a New York banker. It provides for the formation of "the Jewish Reconstruc tion Company of Poland" company which will finapae ,aestitute Jewish artisans and small merehahts in that country. iSHsf
 Details of the organization were worked out by. Alexander Landesco, of Warsaw, director general of re- construction, in conference with a number of leading Jews of Poland. Mir. Landesco before sailing from New York few days ago. announced that the company would avail itself of the machinery and goodwill of the Hebrew Loan and Credit Socie- ties. which, before sthe war, flour ished not onlyNfn Poland. but in 'oth- CT former Russian provinces. The war reduced the means. of these in stitlitions to such an extent that they have been unable to render assist ance to impoverished Jews for sey- eral years. 4FH,
 MT Landssco took with him $780, 900 cash to open the new institution and the balance, $770,000, will be available, it is announced. when he requires it. The treasuries of the local credit societies, previously re. ferred to, will be replenished, it is said through seven distinct feder- ations in Lemberg, Cracow. Warsaw. Brest-Litovsk. Wilma and Rovno. Each district federation, MT. Landesco said will announce its readiness to extend a loan of 100000 marks to 10 loan and trust companies of it's district as5 soon as they can justify being entrusted with working capital.
 Each district federation will act as the federal reserve bank for 10 local loan and trust companies; the federation will release the funds to each of them according to their cur rent needs; at it's discretion it will be able to use the surplus of one of the local branches to fill the deficit of another and will act as the neces- sary link between them and the re- construction; company or main organ ization.
 Long-term loans will be made to individuals at the rate of 12 per cent per annum, 5 per cent of which will go towards payment of the operating expenses of the local loan and trust companies, 2 per cent to the dstric. federation, per cent to the main or ganization and ? per cent towards the formation of reserve fund against possible losses.
 To these TO local loan and trust companies, $700,0O0 will be allotted, while $300,000, the balance of the million dollar capitalization. will be used in substituting cooperative. as- sociations. As, soon as the system is established in Poland and demon strates it's workabiiity, it will be ex- tended, 1t is said, to include Latvia, CzechoslOvakia and other countries of Central Europe.
