ARMY FUND CAMPAIGN
RESULTS NOT ALL IN

More than $4,000 has been reported
as collected in the Salvation Army
financial appeal made in Richmond
during the past two days. Few re-
ports have been received from funds
obtained in Wayne county outside of
Richmond. When these outside re-
ports are received 1t is anticipated
the total will pass the $4,000 mark.
Another indication pointing to a
better total is that one or two OF the
teams believed to have collected large
sums have not turned in their collec-
tions to Ernest Calvert, at the First
National bank, treasurer Of the cam
paign in this county.
Captain Tincher. hear of the Saliva

FIND SOLONS MADE
STOCK TRANSACTIONS
(By Associated Press)

BOSTON, May 2o.-The legislative
committee which has been inquiring
into stock market operation by mem
bers of the legislatures of 1918 and
1919 while measures affecting the
stock market were pending, reported
today a finding that such transactions
occurred. In no case. however. the
committee reported, did the vote of
those concerned affect the fate of the
legislative measure. The committee
submitted as a supplemental report an
order providing for the transmission
to District Attorney Pelletier of Bos-
ton a copy of the testimony for such
action, if any, as he might see fit.
Because the committee was appointed
jointly by the house and the senate,
it decided that it was without power
to recommend any action that could
not be taken by both bodies acting
concurrently.
