PLANS FOR FINANCING
COPPER EXPORT SALES
Loan First in Country to be Sc
cured Specifically by Certain
Amount Of Commodity.

NEW YORK. February 10.-Plans
for financing the sale for export pur-
poses of 100000, 900 of the 60o.ooo.oo0
pounds of surplus copper in the Amer
lean market are made public here with
the announcement that the product
was pledged as security for s40.0o0.o0o
per cent notes of the Copper Export
Association. to be offered for public
sale by banking syndicate headed
by the National City Company and the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York.
This is said to be the first large pub
lie loan made in this country to be Sc
cured specifically by n certain amount
Of an essential commodity. as well as
the first big movement by American
companies to take advantage of the
opportunities offered under the Webb
export trude nct to invite public par
ticipation In tho financing OF foreign
trade.
The heavy accumulation OF surplus
copper was the result OF the sudden
ending Of the war and the inability OF
European consumers to take their
usual requirements. The 400.000.000
pounds is only about three-fourths OF
the export trade done by this country
last year. and. IN the opinion of pro-
ducers. II marketed over a reasonable
period, It will be easily absorbed. The
present rate Of production Is said to
be- below the deliveries OF copper In
1919 and 1920, making a further heavy
accumulation improbable.

The Westphalia Club also has or

commissioners. that the deficit be-
tween the sum collected for Red
Cross activities and the amount re-
ouired. $4,000. be provided for in

sition. 100. has been indorsed gem
orally in the county. A member of
the Wes,phalia Club. however, ev-
presses the belief that this matter
will he finally acted upon favorably
by the club.
1t is understood that members of
the club. for the most part, regar rd
as meritorious both of the PROPOSE
tions mentioned. but oppose them be-
cause they believe that If they are

creased taxes. The mothers pension
law, passed in 1916, has never been

lice were appealed TO and a police

couldn't find where the noise came from

Federal property.
Officials of the Lighthouse Board ex-
planned yesterday that the buoy was to
be tried out for three days after it was
placed in position, fog or no fog, but
that. following It's official trial, II would
blow only when fog made navigation
whereabouts dangerous. The buoy Is
operated by an electric cable from the

It was installed at the request OF steam

mark the narrowing of the cfsannel

SHORT CUT SOUGHT
TO rum CONVICTIONS
IT. s. District Attorney Plans
to Avoid Grand Jury
Proceedings.
DEFENDANTS PROTECTED
New Procedure Would Be to
File Information Before
U. S. District Court.
DEFENDANTS PROTECTED

Leroy Ross, United States District
Attorney for the Brooklyn district, VIII
consult with the United States Cor1rnis-
sioners in that district to-day regarding
a new plan for disposing of alleged vio-
lators Of the Volstead act. Instead or
giving accused persons preliminary hear
ings before the Commissioners Mr.. Ross
proposes. under a ruling recently made
by Attorney-General Palmer, TO begin
prosecutions by filing an Information be-
fore the United States District Court,
thereby avoiding Grand Jury proceed
lngs and unnecessary hearings.
Mr. Ross has already conferred with
Judges Chatfield and Garvin of the
United States District Court regarding
the new plan, and it is understood that
they favor it. The District Attorney
said yesterday that the plan was merely
short cut to trial and does not inter-
fere with the rights of defendant. IL
q plea of guilty Is made before the Fed
eral Court sentence may be pronounced
ut once: otherwise a date Is set for the
trial. William d. Allen. Jr., chief pro-
hibition officer for Brooklyn. who is 20 be
succeeded by Harold 3. Dobbs, has
often complained that his agents were
compelled to waste much time attend
ing hearings before the Commissioners.
The United States District Court OF
Appeals handed down a decision yester
day affirming the conviction OF Albert
j.. Virgins, owner of a hotel In 910
Eighth avenue. for violating the Vol
stead act by maintaining his bar as
public nuisance. On June s, 1920, Wig
gins was sentenced by Judge Grubb of
the United States District Court to serve
term of sixty days and pay 500 fine.
The Virgins case was vigorously
prosecuted because it was regarded as
r. test case, and the decision OF the
court yesterday probably will affect
several other cases or the same sort
which are pending. At the trial OF the
case Virgins put in no defence, his at
torneys asking for the dismissal of the
charge on the ground that the Govern
ment had not shown sufficient evidence
to prove that he had knowledge of the
sale OF liquor on which the case was
based.
