operations during the past year have
resulted in an increase of gold hold

notes in ciriulation of S430,000,000 and
an increase in its total reserves OF

summary just issued by the board OF
governors. The contraction of the
currency indicated, the board said the
degree to which the country had en-,
tered a period of defiation.
"Characteristics of this period on
the banking side have been reduction
of loans and bills held, retirement of
note circulation, gain in gold and
liquidation of investments" the state
ment said, while on the business side
they have been lowering of produc-
ton, growth of unemployment, fall.

"The spring months of 1921 would
seem, in the light of Information now
available, to be a period of approach
to equilibrium in certain lines of bust,

from depressed conditions that had
developed"
Total resources of the reserve sys-

June 20, 1921, were decreased 1877 per

from $94,5O0,000 to. $102. $4,000 during
the same period, due to the fact that
'tthe system has steadily increased in

Discussing the gold movements,
the board pointed out that the metal
flowed out of the United States in
1919 in considerable quantities, but
began returning in even greater
volume in 1920. the import for the
past year being s616,OOO,0OO. Off,

Of gold to the United States have been
the result of the slackening and dis

validity of the will of John N. Wright,
late of Dorchester county, in which
an estate of about 100000 is in
volved, the Court of Appeals has

Orphans Court of Dorchester county
on several important points, including
the form of the issues, and sustaining

Baltimore-With the opening of the
Marine Show and Export and Import
Exposition in the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory, the week of July IL, the most
extensive an-business exhibition ever
assembled in this country will be sub
mitted to the American people for
their education and approval. The Ex-

purpose of creating an understanding
of the vital importance of the Amer
lean Merchant Marine to the future
world trade of the United States and
of demonstrating the close interest be
tween foreign and domestic business.
Invitations are being extended to busi-
ness organizations, individuals and
public authorities of the cities and
towns adjacent to Baltimore. Plans
are being made to designate various
days, such as International Day, Mu-
nicipal Day, Shipping Day, Manufac-
turers' Day, Transportation Day and
Fraternal Day. Fitting exercises will
be held, but these special arrange
ments will not interfere with public
attendance at any time.

Hidden Wealth OF The State.

Hidden Wealth OF The state.
Annapolis
A survey of oil and gas possibilities
in virtually the entire State is being
made by the petroleum section of the
Maryland Academy of Sciences. 1t is
designed to ascertain if the subter-
ranean wealth of neighboring States
is also to be found in Maryland.
Despite the Lack of encouragement
in Government reports issued from
time to time, DR.. Arthur B. Bibbins,
geologist and chairman of the petro-
leum section, feels that there is suffi-
cient possibility of oil and gas de-
posits to warrant careful Investigation
and, in some cases, drilling. :,
Traces of oil or gas, or both, al.
ready have been found in Garrett, AL
legany, Washington. Wicomico,. Fred
erick, st. Mary's and other counties,
DR.. Bibbins said yesterday. He is
not convinced that any of these offer
commercial possibilities. The Pc
troleum section, which began work
some time ago, is keeping in touch
with the operations. The survey re-
port, which, DR.. Bibbins says, will be
limited to plain facts and 'sugges'
tions" as, to where oil and gas might
months
The latest discovery" is on the
farm of Caleb C. Merritt, near Thur
mont, in Frederick county. 1ndica-
tions of oil are said to have been OBJ
served there about three years ago.
Upon examinations made in the last
year Dr. Bibbins found oil seepage. He
has made a preliminary statement"
to Mr. Merritt and in few days will
go to Thurmont to make another ex.
animation, after which his report will
be made.
Il cannot tell until have made my
examination whether oil really is
there" said DR.. Bibbins, "but I am
inclined to think there is. AS to COM
mercial quantities, that can be learned
only by drilling"
The seepage, DR.. Bibbins explained,
indicated oil somewhere in the vicin-
ity He thought the "seepage rock"
from which the surface traces come,
might be found at about 900 feet. This,
he added, would not necessarily indi-
cate that q flow be found at that
depth, if at all"
Drilling operations are being car
ried on in ST. Mary's county and at
place between Baltimore and Wash
ington, DR.. Bibbins said He ventured
no opinion as to their commercial
value.

Complaints Filed With Commission.

Spaulding Lowe Jenkins and Will
liam P. Riggs, representing Laurel
and Pimlico, respectively, filed with
the State Racing Commission pro-
tests against the licensing of H. Guy
Bedwell as trainer and Carroll Shil-
ling as jockey.
After a closed session of over two
hours the Commission declined to
make public the specific charges on
which the protests were based. That
they were verbal as we'll as written
was brought out in conversation with
Chairman Latane.
Further hearings will be granted,
Mr.. Latane said Asked if the addi.

Is not conducting the hearing with

cense tax on the four one-mile tracks
for the spring meetings. This, with
the collections from the fall 1920
meetings, makes a total of $730,956.S4

This income is exclusive of the spe-
cial tax collected from Pimlico for the
benefit of Baltimore county. This
amounts to $4,000 for the spring
meeting this year. The fall meet at
Pimlico netted $4,000 for Baltimore
county.

WARNS AGAINST
SOLDIER BILL
Mellon Sees Grave Danger OF
Immediate Deficit
LETTER TO FRELINGHUYsEk
Depress Liberty Bonds-Underwooe
RidicuIes Measure, Defying Re-
pubIicans To Propose Lump
Sum To Men.

Washington.-With a warning thai
there is grave danger of an immediate
Government deficit, Secretary Mellon
asked Congress to defer action on the
soldiers bonus bill. Y
"This is not a time to impose sew
eral billion dollars of new liabilities
on an already oveIiburdened Treas,
ury," the Treasury Secretary said to
Senator Fre1inghuysen, of New Jer
sey, in a letter which was read in the
Senate when the bonus bill was called
up.- The bill has already passed the
House and the letter was in response
to a request from Senator Freling
huysen for q statement of the finan'
ciaI obligations which the bill would
place upon the Government.
The letter was characterized by
Senator Underwood, Democratic lead
er, who, after its reading, made an
attack on the bill as "strong, forceful
and to the point" In passing the
bill, the Alabama Senator said, the
Republican majority would write in
the country's history that men no
longer sacrifice, but measure their
service in dollars" Replying briefly
Senator McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota. in charge of the bill, denied
that any attempt was being made to
measure the services of soldiers OF
the World War in dollars.
Mr.. Mellon estimated that the bill
would cost the country between
$1,000, 900, 900 and $3.50 100000, that it
would swell the cost of government
and virtually defeat the Administra
tion's program of retrenchmentf and
economy" and that j it would block
"all refunding operations on the ma
tional debt and depress further the
prices Of. Liberty Bonds" These, he
said, would be inevitable direct
financial consequences" adding that
probable indire% results would be
grave danger of renewed imitation
increased commodity prices and un
settled business conditions"
Continuing, the Secretary said thai
"our first concern, of course, should
be to make. full provision" for the
needs of disabled veterans.
ITO that object he said, "the
country is pledged to give without
stint Of its resources. 1t would be
unfortunate in the extreme, while we
are still struggling with that problem
to dissipate our resources in a sweep
ing plan for cash payment to able
bodied ex-soldiers and sailors"
