WESTERN BANKERS NEXT

Washington.-A group of bankers
Rnd financiers from every section Of
the country are to be consulted by
President Harding before he concludes
the series of financial conferences be-
gun recently at the White House din
Ter when eastern banking interests
were chiefly represented. No appoint-
ments for further conferences have
yet been made, but it is probable that
a group of financial leaders from the
Middle West will be the next to be
summoned by the President.
1t was indicated in administration
circles that so far as sentiment has
been canvassed, the financial men are
virtually unanimous Ia believing that
the Federal Reserve Board holds tho
key to proper readjustment Of gen.
eral financial conditions. Those con-
suited are understood to have told the
President that In their opinion the
Board could 60 . long way towards
restoration Of normal conditions by
exerting its Influence to keep loans at
a reasonable rate and on sound basis.
Removal Of restrictive measures
placed by the Board On Credit Ex-
tension, under the federal reserve act.
was said to have been advocated oy the
bankers As means Of solving the prob
lem facing the farmers Of the county.

swimmer. The boy jumped into the
water and swan to the spot where the
children were floundering in the water.
a He caught Bertha Howard and.
dragged her TO the shallow water. He
believed that she could manage to get
out by herself, as the water was but
three feet deep, and he swan out and
caught Bessie Hobson as she was going
down for the third time.
He started to swim toward the shore
with her, but was exhausted when the
girl caught a strargle hold on him. The

drowning. He waited for the children
to come back and when they failed to
do so he went to his home in Godfrey.

until After Peter Nedham, who had
gone to the pond to fish, saw the
body of Bertha Howard floating on the
water. He waded out into the water
and dragged the body to shore, He

bodies were recovered. aeaif'
The three Howard children had a.
holiday and went to the pond to fish
and boat ride, Bessie Hobson was an

Mexico City.-George T. Summerlin,

It was explained his visit was merely
to thank Foreign Secretary PAM for
the courtesies extended incidental to
Mr.. Summerlin's return here. !.

The conference. between President
Qbreeon and Mr., Summerlin was hur-
riedly arranged as soon as the foreign
office was advised that such meet
ing was. desired by the American
charge d'affaires.. Mr.. Summerlin, sac-
'companieds by a foreign office repre-
sentative, met the president. in Cha
pultepec Castle and for mere than an
hour discussed the memorandum with
him. The conference Is said to have
been an extremely cordial one and il
is stated President Obregon expressed
the desire for an amicable arrange
meIt.
Mr. Summerlin Is understood to
have told president Obregon that Mex.
lean affairs had occupied the United
States state department for some time
and that especial concern had been
fel. in Washington over rumored Boil
sheviki activities in Mexico, as exem-
plified by the, recent tragedy In Mo.
relia and the invasion of the chamber
of deputies by radicals. lls5.
e President Obregon, according to re-
ports, Is declared to have assured Mr..
Sumnerlin that the radical movement
was being watched closely and that
all safeguards were being taken to
prevent its assuming menacing proper,
stions. Mr.. Summerlin maintained his
policy of reserve and the only com,
ment he would make on his confer
ence with President Obregon was that
"the meeting was extremely pleasant
and the president most affable." -
AS indicative that the government is
keeping watchful eye on the radicals
is a war office order issued directing
the disarming Of all civilians In the
state Of Michoacan, which has been
the scene OF several serious clashes be.
tween Catholics and socialists. The
federal troops also have been ordered
to be prepared at all times to suppress
outbreaks. sg- nvI a~tsv siif

lParis.--The first official step toward
solution of the Upper Silesian prob
lem was taken at a speciaIasession OF
the council of ambassadorsewhen that
body Instructed the plebiscite commis-
sion at Oppeln to make unanimous
proposals for splitting the. disputed
territory into three portions, one to%be
administered and occupiede militardly
BY Germany, another by Roland and
the third to be made into. neutral
zone under an allied commission.
The action of Patti Cambon, the
French member of the ambassadors
council, in agreeing, to the scheme.
marks the beginning of French ac-
ceptance of compromise plan, which
when presented by the British and
supported by the Italians, they re-
1ected.
The ambassadors met following d
telegram from Col. iPercivai, the Brit
fish member of the inter-allied plebis-
cite commission, and Gen. de Mari
eiani. the Italian member. Gen. Le-
rond, the French representative, add
ed codicil explaining that he was not
able to concur because the French
government had previously rejected a
similar offer. fasss ess ~ = nAta
.M The telegram announced thatat the
sole solution Of the problem7 could not
only be reached through the, creation
ofthree zones, permitting the Germans
ahd Poles to occupy regions where
they had received majorities and per-
mftting the allies. to concentrate opo-
licing troops in the third disputed re-
gfon In sufficient numbers to main
tain sorder in the entire region until
the question was solved.
The fact that M, Cambon !conciirred
in the instructions sent to Qpplen gives
rise to a belief that Gen, Lenrod must
have. indorsed his. italian and British
colleagues proposals, though certain
quarters insist. he would rather have
resigned than submit to- such q course.
1t Is expected the status Of Upper
Silecia will be left thus until the SUI
preme council meets at Boulogne in
an attempt to solve the problem.
