COTTON SMITH

0utspoken Criticism of
Misuse of Financial
Power by Seven Men

Washington, June2 1.-1nvestl-
CATION of the federal reserve
boards regulation Of rediscount
rates was suggested in the SEN
ate today by Senator Smith, DEM
ocrat, of South Carolina.
''The people Of the country are
going bankrupt and starving. .
Senator Smith asserted. while we
sit here calmly, knowing that we
have placed the entire financial
power Of the country in the hands
Of the seven members of the fed
eral reserve board. In that board
we have created a Frankensteln
to destroy US.
Senator Smith attacked the
boards recent statement that gold
reserves were greater than IN MS
tory, declaring that while the ma
ton is burning up we boast that
there is more water in the tank
than ever before.
A bill providing for loans OF
two hundred million dollars by
the treasury to the federal farm
loan board for loans to farmers on
approved applications was intro
dueed by Senator Harris, Demo
crat, Georgia. The biz directs
that no federal land bank shall
loan the money at more than SIX
per ceat and that five per cent in
terest shall be paid to the treas
ury for the sum borrowed.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala
bama, joined with Senator Smith
and urged relief through credit ex-
tension to the cotton growers Of
the south. The Alabama Senator
said the price OF cotton has been
beaten down SIS bale in the last
few days by speculalsors without a
pound Of cotton in hand.
Senator Hefin suggested that

Paris. June 2O-Offensive op-

posed by Great Britain, France

a note to the Greek government
asking that King Constantine
postpone his campaign against
the Turks and accept mediation
which may settle the Near East

Smyrna, where King Constantine

present, and it is believed the

1t is understood the British

over that district. Racial and re-

protection from an inrernat tlonal

Large Pulpzvood Be-

The time seemSt be ripe for

department of agriculture In de-
partment Bulletin $50, entitled re-
gionai development OF pulpwOOd
resources of the Tongass national
forest. the successful operation Of
pulp and paper mills IL nearby
British Columbia. which has prac-
tically similar timber and power
resources and comparable trans
portation facilities, is pointed to
as removing the speculative ele-
ment from the proposed develop
ment.
The demand for paper, it is said,
has increased to such anextent
that it has become possible for
well-organized and adequately
financed companies t. operate
pulp and paper mills on ar exten-
sive scale. particularly Ior making
news prin.. All indications point
to continuance Of the demand at
prices that should make possible
profitable operations IL Alaska.
New sources are imper2tIvely re-
quired. it is said, for the supply
of raw pulpwood.
The department of agriculture
believes that the Development OF
the fores. and water-power re-
sources of Alaska is practica ole
means of increasing the supplies
of news print availa BILE for the

lessening the paper shortage now

JUDGE RICE RULES
AGAINST STATE
Circuit Judge Refuses To
Grant NeU Trial in
SandeL Case

Columbia, June 22.-Jadge H. F.
Rice has refused to grant a new
trial in the case of J. O'Neal San
del, who was given verdict for
S25 ,250 in his suit against the
state of South Carolina at the
spring term of the court of COM
mon pleas IN Ricllland county.
Clarence Hinnant, clerk of court,
received the decision yesterday
morning. Judge Rice takes the
position that the jury was of the
opinion that Thelma Sandel, the
young daughter Of the plaintiff, !,
died from the administration Of
impure anti-typhoid vaccine and m
that he thinks the y men were un-
questionably correct. Judge Rice
in refusing to grant a new trial
says:
that his daughter, child of
some five or six years of age, came
to her death through the instru-
mentality of anti-typhod vaccine
furnished by the state with which
she was inoculated and that due
care was not used in it's prepara-
ton. The indisputable fact in the
case was that within a. short time
after it had been administered to
her, some 48 hours, I think, she
died IN great agony. Her younger
sister inoculated at. the same time
also died within a few hours. The
father and mother also were quite
I'LL from the effects Of the inocula-
ton.
..The state health authorities
made thorough investigation In
to the matter and promptly re-
called all of the vaccine of the
same lot as that used on the San
dels. An analysis of said vaccine
showed the presence of pus germs
which the evidence showed should
not have been in the pure vaccine.
However, as I recall the evidence,
not single witness testified that
pus germs could have caused the
death of this child in the short
time elapsing between the lnocula-
ton and her death. Several ex-
perts were examined, most OF them
witnesses for the state, and they
all testified that pure anti-typhold
vaccine was not dangerous 70 adj
minister. Not one of them could
give satisfactory explanation OF
how the child came to it's death.
Ali Of the evidence on the point
showed that the administration Of
the vaccine brought about the
death of the cid. This undoubted-
ly was the opinion of the jury and
I think they were unquestionably
correct. 1t, then, pure vaccine will
not cause death, and if the vaccine
administered to the child did cause
her death, then Of necessity there
were germs in the vaccine
which should not have been there
and the same was impure and dan
gerens TO use en- a human being.
