HERRICK TELLS OF
"DECOY LETTERS"
TO YOUNG WOMEN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Upon their complaint, The Her
aid Immediately Investigated their
origin. In connection with The Her
AIDS inquiries, Mr.. Herrick made
the following statement:
Having introduced H. r. S2Os a
bill for the purpose Of disassociat-
ing movie flm managers and theat-
rical managers and any one else
further back of them from using,
preying upon and otherwise avail
ing themselves of the facilities that
is afforded to them through obtain
ing the names and addresses of
young women. who participate in
beauty contests held by legitimate
newspapers. and realizing that this
crowd would offer most strenuous
opposition TO the passange of any
such bill. 1 deemed it wise to take
such steps as I thought necessary
TO obtain conclusive and irrefutabIe
evidence that the Turing away OF
girls. whose names and addresses
were obtained. in the aforesaid man.
ner, was comparatively easy, there
tore l had sent out some letters
through friends. which were of a
decoy nature. and which many girls
answered, whose answers l am now
holding for the benefit of the com.
mittee on judiciary. when this bill
is up for consideration.
Il am sorry that / felt ii neces-
sary to prehaps offend the feelings
OF some Of these young ladies' in
gathering evidence in that manner,
but as l feel sure that all the young
ladies' to who letters were addressed
Will not feel seriously humiliatel in
consideration of the fact, that the
same was done for the purpose Of
aiding a worthy cause. assuring all
those who have not been called upon
and had the situation explained to
them, that all those with the possi-
BILE exception of one who have been
called upon and had the situation
explained to them. have seen the
danger. and are very glad to have
the pitfall pointed out to them and
are now cooperating with me. 4
would be very glad to have the
cooperation in the passage of this
act OF all Christian young ladies to
who the pitfalls which they might
have encountered, have been thus
revealed to them"

RESERVE BOARD
FLAYED BITTERLY
Cotton Association Head Says
Its "Cruel Policy" Has
Ruined Thousands.

Attacking the credit policy pur-
sued by the Federal Reserve Board.
J. S. Wannamaker, of st. Matthews,
S. c., president of the American Cot
ton Association, charged yesterday
that this government agency had
been converted into IAN instrument
of financial tyranny" Mr.. Wanna
maker declared that actions OF w.
=. G. Harding. governor OF the Re-
serve Board, had resulted in wide
spread ruin amounting to virtual
bankruptcy of the cotton growing
sections of the country. He also
asserted that the board is under the
domination 70 Wall Street.
Appearing as a witness before the
joint congressional commission
which is investigating the agri-
cultural situation, Mr.. Wannamaker
endorsed the sentiment expressed
before the commission recently by
John Shelton Williams. former
Comptroller of the Treasury. that
in deliberately planning defIation
on a colossal and unreasonable
scale. the Federal Reserve Board
had committed monumental
crime" The present personnel of
the board should be retired. he said.
and its membership enlarged to
twelve, representation to agriculture
being included.
Responsibility for the deprecia-
ton in market value of liberty
bonds was laid at the door of the
reserve board also. Mr.. Wanna
maker insisted that the rediscount
rates for these securities should not
be in excess of 2ie per cent. If
rates We're reduced to this point,
plenty of money would be available
~"d frozen credits would begin to
thaw.
Mr.. Wannamaker charged that
the method of deflation begun last
year was deliberate, cynical. cruel
and inexcusable." He said that
Governor Harding was largely re-
sponsible for this. and that any
thing Mr.. Harding may say at this
time will not excuse or palliate ac-
tions which resulted in a loss to
agriculture and commerce combined
of about $4,000, 100000.

WAPNTn'C CnTJNDEn
ON FOREIGN BONDS

The Department of Commerce
sounded warning yesterday
against bond issues of some foreign
Municipalities. which were described
as loose guaranty" PROPOSITIONS. 1t
was said that the public should be
cautioned against subscribing to
these securities.
These issues. officials said. called
for the investment of a small sum
In American money with a high
face value in the foreign money
nayable in American money when
the exchange should return to par
ity. When these foreign moneys have
recovered their normal exchange
rates. the amounts of American dol
lars necessary to meet these bonds
would be many times greater than
the wealth of any Of these munich
palities. The case of Warsaw
bond was cited. where a bond pur-
chased for about $50 would, when
exchange returns to normal. be re-
deemable for some $4,000.

HOUSE STAND MAY
STOP RETROACTIVE
REPEAL OF TAXES
Senate Advocates Fear
Firm Policy Held by
Lower Body.

Fear of the rejection by the
Houes of an amendmsat TO the tax
bill. making the reyisiSh retroactive
on inrome Of the calendar year 1921
threatens to rause the Senate
Finance Committee, to allow oW : TO
become effective January 1, 1922, as
provided in the bill as passed by the
House. .t.E
A canvas of the situation shows
that some of the Republican mem
bers of the Senate Finance Com
mittee believe that the repeal of
the excess profits and the reduction
Of ghiher sur-taXes on individual
incomes should be retroactive on in
come of teh calendar year 1891,
They have been advised, however,
that opposition to this change is
SO strong in the House, as indicated
by the action of the RepublicrS
House caucus last week, that ap-
proval of a conference report con-
tanning such a change would be un-
likely.
Both Parties United.
Not only have a majority OF the
Republican members of the House
hoe nshOwn nv the caucrs action to
be against making the excess profits
tax repeal retroactive. but practi-
callv the entire Democratic mem
hership would line up similarly.
