STOKES PUTS UP
A STRONG FIGHT
Wants Full Compensation for
Former Sheriff Van Pelt,
Fired by Cats.
(Hy JOHN c. TRlcE.)

TALLAHASSEE, May 16.-More OF
Mondays session Of the senate was
taken up with the hard fight made
by Senator John Stokes, Of Pensacola
for reimbursement Of Sheriff Van Pelt
fired by Governor Cats. The fight Is
over, winding up for the time when
the parliamentary point was made that
the hour of adjournment had arrived
with Senator Stokes about to intro
duce another bill for he had more
than one string TO his bow.
His first bill called for an appropria-
ton OF $15,S12.17, the gross compensa-
ton taken in by Mr.. Van Pelt's sue
cessor for the time Mr.. Van Pelt was
out. Senator Weaver, chairman of the
claims committee, made the fight
against Stokes, and offered an amend
ment to make the sum $3.013.06. The
net takings of Sheriff Whitaker after
paying the expense OF the office.
Senator Stokes argued that under
the constitution Mr.. Van Pelt is enti-
tied to the compensation of the office
for the time he was out. What Is the
compensation, he asked, answering by
saying It Is what Mr.. Van Pelt would
have received had he held the office,
arguing that IL made no difference
whether he had deputies or not. II he
makes an arrest, Senator Stokes ar
gued, he Is entitled to one dollar. 1t
he makes five thousand arrests he is
entitled to five thousand dollars. 1t
does not appear TO the state what
the arrests cost him to make. He ar
gued that It could not be said that Mr..
Van Pelts compensation should be
fixed by the man who succeeded him
and who might not have been so COM
petent.
Senator Johnson objected to the pay
ment. holding that it would be to pay
Mr.. Van Pelt not only what he earned
but what his deputies earned, and
pointed out that his deputies are rec
ognized by the state even though they
may be paid by the officer.
Senator Singletary offered an
amendment to pay $6,011.07. the net
amount Mr. Van Pelt earned the year
before he was fired. and later with
drew his amendment, making it
$1,000 when he learned that Mr.. Van
Pelt had been out OF office for 13
months.
Senator Stokes fought this, con-
tending that Mr.. Van Pelt was entitled
to full compensation. and saying that
in all cases Of the kind in the past the
full compensation had been paid. He
moved TO table the smaller amend
ment, and succeeded, but was un-
successful with the amendment for
$1,000. He was then about to introduce
a substitute bill in which he had
taken off the fees received for feeding
the prisoners. which would have left |

DECREE OF GEORGIA
COURT IS REVERSED
Refused to Enjoin Reserve Bank Of
Atlanta From Collecting Checks
Drawn on Nom Member.
fev The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 16*-The supreme
court today reversed DEGREES of Georgia
courts which had refused to enjoin the
federal reserve bank at Atlanta from
collecting checks drawn on non-member
state banks and the case was remanded
to the lower courts for further proceed
ings. AS the issue before the supreme
court was merely whether. as matter
of pleading, the PLAINTIFFS bill of COM
plant stated a cause Of action, the de-
cision today was not a final deterinina-
tion and the case will go back to the
district court of the northern district
of Georgia where the next step is ex-
pected to be tried upon its merits.
The plaintiffs asserted that to enforce

tai. Such methods they said, would
force them to close their doors or to
i6in the federal reserve system. A suit
for an Injunction to restrain the reserve
hank from proceeding along these lines
was brought but was dismissed when
the Georgia court sustained a demurrer
of the federal reserve bank. An appeal
was then made to the supreme court.
Governor Harding, OF the federal re-
serve board. said tonight that the SUI
preme courts decision will not inter-
fere with the present check clearing
functions of the federal reserve banks
and those banks will continue 20 collect
checks drawn upon those banks which
are listed upon the par lists.
..The opinion of the supreme court
does not deny the legal authority Of the
federal reserve bank to collect checks
on non member banks ry making pre-
sensations at the counter statement
issued by Governor Harding said, but
holds merely that non-memher banks
may be entitled to relief if they can
prove that the federal reserve bank
inadvertently intended to accumulate
checks and present them in an oppres-
sive manner for the sole purpose OF in
juring the banks upon which the checks
are drawn
In opposing the suit, counsel for the
federal reserve board denied that at in
tended any Illegal act and asserted
that par collection of checks would save
more than s70.o0o.000 a year to the
American public.

EGG SPECTATORS
HAVE LOST HEAVILY
GREEDIEST OF ALL PROFIT
EERS DROPPED MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS RECENTLY.

Egg spectators, in the aggregate,
are estimated to have lost more than
SIS. 100000 in the middle west since
the first OF January, when the prices
of eggs began steadily to. go down
ward. This year was to have been the
banner year for the egg pirates. Eggs
were 81 dozen last October, and the
plungers bought all they could find,
putting them in storage at from As to
90 cents a dozen.
1t is estimated that there were more
than 100000 cases in storage in Chi
cago alone on Jan. |, 1921. 1t didn't
matter to the spectators that corn,
cotton, wool, clothing and other COM
modities were coming down. They be-
lieved that they had the public roped
in and that they could get as high
prices for their eggs as they desired.
Nature came to the rescue OF the
consumer, for the winter is the mild
est since 1880, and instead of taking
her usual mid-winter vacation Mrs.
Hen kept right on the job, flooding
the market with her product. Eggs
that went into storage at 90 cents a
dozen came out for &c. There has been
a drop in the wholesale price OF 80
cents dozen, and good eggs now are
ranging at SO to As cents a dozen
wholesale.

WASHINGTON is NOW
LAWYERS HAVEN
FORMER MEMBERS OF SENATE
AND HOUSE CRAVE ATMOS-
Pierre OF CAPITAL.

Washington is rapidly becoming the
haven of lawyers, for the most part
one time members of the senate and
house or officers of the government
who have lost or resigned their jobs.
They crave not only the atmosphere
of the capital but a share in the $780,
100000 worth of claims pending now
against the government.
1t has Just been announced that
Willard Salisbury, one time senator
from Delaware, has come to Washing
ton to open up a law Office. Within
the last few days the talk has been
that Joseph P. Tumulty will begin
the practice of law in Washington at
the close of the present administra-
ton. Among others recently estab-
tshed in Washington are T. t. Ans
berry, former member of the house
from Ohio, and Joseph w. Folk, late
governor of Missouri and afterwars
solicitor of the state department
These are Just few of the names of
those who have hung out the law
single in Washington within a COM
paratively brief time. Others will fol-
low soon after March 4th.
There are stories afoat of enormous
fees that these lawyers have earned in
Washington representing clients who
look on them as capable of giving ex-
ceptional service through knowledge
of exact conditions and wide acquaint-
ance. The stories have attracted other
lawyers to the field SO that today
Washington is housing more attor-
neys at law of more or less prominence
than almost any other city in the coun-
try.
Because of the increased govern
mental activity attributed to the war
there has been an enormous increase
in the law business in the capital.
There are innumerable cases before
the treasury department on tax mat
tiers; there are many cases before the
federal trade commission and similar
agencies, and on top of it all has come
the settlement of hundreds OF claims
against the government on army and
navy contracts.
These are said to total about $780,
100000, and they represent the bal
ance alleged to be due on contracts
made at the time of the war for equip
ment and other material.

Houston Says McAdoo
Framed Loan Policy
Favored Continued Advances to For
eign Nations After Armistice.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Before the
senate judiciary committee today tes-
tifying further in regard TO loans to
the allied nations Secretary OF the
Treasury Houston put responsibility
for the loan policy on former Secre-
tary w. G.. McAdoo. He emphasized
the idea that the treasury does not
regard the armistice as the controlling
factor in the loan operations.
The secretary again made plain that
inasmuch as the war has not been
ended by proclamation of the presi-
dent, the treasury still considers it has
to make advances.
The treasury did not regard the
armistice as establishing date for the
cessations of these operations" said
the secretary.
Secretary Houston brought out the
fact that Mr.. McAdoo favored ad-
vances to foreign nations after the
Mr.. McAdoo recently was
quoted as saying he opposed further
loans. Secretary Houston read from
the 1918 report OF Secretary McAdoo.

Report Is Appalling.
THE huge quantities in some lines
are appalling to the ordinary mind,
Mr.. MacGregor said. The surgeon
general shows that he has on hand
hospital furniture and equipment to
the value of $18,000,000. The ordnan nee
department has on hand some o,OOO
tractors that cost us SIS 100000. The
representative then gave a report
showing large quantities or articles,
purchased for the army during -, the e
war, that are now stored away, his
report included 100000 cans OF
evaporated milk, 100000 pairs OF
stockings, 15O,OOO,OOO boxes of envel-
opes, 100000 sheets of blotting pa,
per 100000 monkey wrenches and
MANY other articles.
Mr. MacGregar said he has not
reached decision as to what recon-
mendation he will make with refer
ence to this property. He said he was
not convinced that the inventory sup SUI
nitted TO him covers everything. The
representative concluded by stating
that the war department seemed very
willing to give the information; con
trary to their previous attitude, but
they admit that the inventories may
not be perfect"

10000, 900 CIGARETS
EXPORTED TO CHINA
CONSIGNM ENT OF SEVEN
TEEN CAR LOADS FILLS
HOLD OF JAP STEAMER.

SEATTLE, Wash.-Ninety million
cigarettes, a solid trainload Of the
product of Virginia factories, have
been loaded into the hold of the Ka-
magura Maru, which sails this week
for Japan.
The cigarettes are consigned to
Shanghai, China, from where they will
be distributed over the Chinese re-
public. In China the American smoke
has become a great luxury and there
is an enormous demand for them.
There were II car loads in the ship
ment, which consisted of 1900 cases.
The Chinese are planning to raise
their own tobacco, for in the same car
go there is a shipment of 800 pounds
OF the best southern tobacco seed
which is being sent to Shanghai and
from where the government will dis
tribute it among various localities to
farmers for a seed trial.
The Chinese are acquiring the CT
garette habit rapidly, it having been
but few years ago the first American
tobacco was sent to the far east The
Japanese are addicted to the cigarette,
too. but they are importing their
smokes from the Philippines.
In China everyone who can afford
to buy tobacco smoke and so lar the
country has not been worried by any
attempts to start a prohibition act
against the cigarette.
This enormous shipment came to
Seattle just as the anti-cigarette move
ment had gotten started. The first
news of the big cargo of tobacco for
overseas caused big sensation in the
ranks of the local anti-cigarette league.
