GRAIN GROWERS
SELLING CROPS
!. AND USING CASH

The grain growers Of the West are
cashing In on their products. liouidat-
ing their loans at the banks, and turn
ing new money into ordinary business
channels, the Federal Reserve Board
said today In a bulletin.
There is no holding of grain, nut n
,:ndency to speed up Its movement to
market.
The Reserve Board said that there
will be no credit stringency In any Of
he Federal Reserve districts, as re.
suit Of financing the needs OF the
,rowers. The board said that the
curse of the growers in marketing
heir products is doing much TO re-
ieve the possibility of a credit strain.
1t was said to be the firm opinion
Of the board that even II there had
been no decline in the prices OF farm
products, II still would be true that
the lower output OF principal crops,
and the fact that II Is below the five
year average. would operate TO bring
about reduction In the gross amount
of credit strain observable IN other
seasons.
The board said that the seasonal de.
mands for accommodation from agri-
cultural districts where harvesting
has been in progress has been almost
entirely offset by the steady houida-
ton in loans in recent months IN the
non-agricultural districts.

Crowder Says Cuba
Faces Paralysis of
Legislative Power
Declares Election Board
and Courts Must Function
in Dispute Now Pending
Or Crisis Will Result

HAVANA, Jan. 13 (By The Associ-
ated Press) ).-Major General Enoch H.
Crowder, special representative CT
President Wilson, investigating con-
ditions in Cuba, in a statement given
out tonight. after referring to the
failure of the electoral board and
courts to function within the prescribed
init, declared:
"1f these. agencies continue to fail,
Cuba, in due course of time, will be
confronted with ad interim provincial
and national administrations, and, after
total paralysis of the legislative
power"
General Crowder until tonight has
maintained absolute silence ever since
his arrival here on the cruiser Mime
sofa a week ago. His statement, which
sets forth "what has been accomplished
thus far, at the instance of the Presi-
dent" follows in part:
"The electoral boards have func
toned and posted their provisional
returns. What is lacking is the action
Of the Cuban judiciary on the con-
tested election cases, of which there
are great number. involving prac-
tically all of the colleges Of Oriente
and Matanzas and large number of
the colleges of Santa Clara. including
whole municipal districts, and smaller
number of colleges in other provinces.
"What has been accomplished thus
far at the instance of the President
IS the patriotic cooperation of the
Supreme Court and central electoral
BOARD in the issue Of proper instruc-
lions and regulations, and the patriotic
cooperation Of political parties in the
waving of certain provisions of the
legal procedure Of Cuba, all Of which
means a most expeditions procedure
Tor the courts in deciding these numer-
Gus appealed cases.
"The electoral code of Cuba makes
a special appeal to the judiciary of
Cuba in such a situation as now ex-
ists. 1t should be the attitude Of every
one to assume that the Cuban courts
will meet that situation and discharge
their full responsibility. They have
The mandatory duty of decreeing the
nullity of the elections in any college
or colleges for any of the causes and
the authority to invalidate elections
for other causes, where it shall be

or other causes"

One Bullet Strikes Seven
To-day's casualties here were re-
markab.e e from the fact that from all

OF the city, and a crowd had drawn up
around it, watching the soldiers, when,
according to the testimony Of three
eye-wltnesses, shot was heard from
the lorry. OF the seven persons struck
by the bullet ahose wounded were
