BURIAL PLACE OF MAN DEAD FOR 357
 YEARS REVEALED

GENEVA, Aug. 4.-Leaders of the Protestant Church throughout Europe are showing lively interest in the announcement that the burial place of John Calvin, the Swiss divine and reformer has been re- vealed after having been unknown for 357 years.
 - Calvin died in 1864 and was bur jed somewhere in the Plain-Palais cemetery here but no stone has marked the spot According to the legend, he was buried secretly from fear that his grave would be desc crated.
 Knowledge of the loea tion of the grave is said to have been held by one family for more than three and half centuries. The secret Is said to have heen handed down from father to son for+ all these genera tions.
 Disclosure at thisS time is ac- counted for by the statement that the last holder of the secret, Flu gene de Speyr, has no descendent and, being Fl years old, decided to reveal the site of the grave to the Council of the Protestant Church in Geneva,

TENNIS COURT MAY
 BE READY SATURDAY;
 WORK BEING PUSHED

Work on the new tennis court at the corner of Fifth and Gold Streets, which had been delayed by wet weather, was resumed yesterday. To- day Contractor A. M Claire and crew are putting up the wire netting which encloses the court on four sides. The floor will then be stained a dark green and the lines marked out in white. If the good weather continues, the court may be ready for play by Saturday.
 Charles E. Harland, who deserves a great deal of credit for starting the project and pushing it along, stated today that few more members are wanted for the tennis club. He also requests that those who have not yet paid their membership fees pay him this week so he can clean up all in debtedness against the club. It is hoped that when the court is put into commission everything will be paid for.

 CASE OF MONTANA
 BE TRIED AGAIN

FORT BENTON, i. Mont, Aug. Al '-Montana's famous 'sffioke case" in which the Anaconda Copper Com pany was sued in a test case by a Montana rancl1man for the death of farm animals, caused, it is alleged in the petition, by poisonous gases from the Anaconda company's smell ters, will be tried again. The jury hearing the case here was unable to agree on the merits of much tech nical testimony by chemical experts.
 The test suit was filed by Oscar B. Coon, who alleged in his peti- tion that cattle, horses and other of his farm animals had died after inhaling the smoke and gas from the smelting plant smokestacks. He asked $27, damages. Upon the results of his suit will hinge other suits, it is declared, involving more than ,000 animals in the vicinity of Great Falls.
 Trial of the recent suit consumed 150 witnesses were examined, in- cluding many experts who testlled as to the harmful and harmless con tents of the shelter smoke and gases. Expert chemists testified for the copper company that the process Of smelling in their plant was such that it was impossible for the waste gases to contain poisonous sub stances They repeated chemical for mulae to prove their assertions. Ex- perts for Coon charged that the cat tie had died of arsenic and zinc pois- oning after inhaling the smelter gases This was to counteract tes- timony of the defense experts that the cattle were victims of influenza.

HARVARD SOON
 STARTS TO GET

Football Practice will Begin Next Notwithstanding
 Date Is Named.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-Harvard will start football practice Septem- Der 6, Players who have made pre- vious teams and candidates who hope to make this years team have been ordered to report to Soldiers Field on that date Harvard st Il hopes that Tolbert will be available for football this year and that he will be nucleus for their linesmen
 The Yales will begin their football practice September 19 Tad Jones has sent word to 59 players to re port at Yale Field on that date. The university team begins a week later and the date for reporting is 10 days later than it was in 1920 The candi- dates had some spring work and they, like the Harvards, are doing d little summer work so that when they arrive at New Haven it is prob able they will be in fair trim for football
 At Harvard, Kane will probably be matched up with an end who is of his ability as a football player The Crimson may get on well at end this year It was better than Yale at end in 1920 The ends bothered the Ellis all of the season.
 Princeton is likely to find the end problem one of the least difficult of it's problems this season, but Prince ton, except rarely, always comes up smiling with ends who step off the square feet of the gridiron as if they were square inches. N.
 There isn't any necessity of wor- rying about interest in football this year. That is something which will not bother the coaches or the cap tains. There will be more interest, if anything, than last year, although the expenses of going to college games have been greatly increased.
 Fordham University will meet Bos ton College at Ebbets Field, Brook lyn, October 29. It seems certain that as soon as the new Yankee ball park, New York, is finished, many of the annual games will be settled on it's green It is known that Army and Navy are considering it for their future mixups.

DECLARES POLICY
OF RESERVE BOARD
AVOIDED COLLAPSE
Gov. Harding Closes Appear.
ance Before Congressional
Commission.

b Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Reserve
bank policies OF 1919 and 1920 were
formulated solely 10 prevent the
country's banking system from col
lapse. and were successful in their
object. Gov. Harding Of the reserve
board declared Friday in closing a
two DAYS appearance before a Joint
congressional commission. To ques-
TONERS he repeated time and again
a declaration that the board had not
sought 20 influence prices. either up
or down. but had prepared 20 meet
a price break that was world wide.
and yet 10 maintain and expand
credit lines.
There was a bare possibility, he
said. that If in 1919 the reserve
board had raised national redis-
count rates. "the runaway in prices
might have been checked and the
result might have been better but
he mentioned needs OF the govern
ment financing as influential in de-
termfning the course actually taken.
Representative Sumner. democrat,
Texas. suggested that "the word
might have gone out from the
board to bankers 10 be fearful Of
/ prices but Gov. Harding said that
nothing had been done inconsistent
with his statement.
1T was not a good time TO be
/ talking too much-in 1920 ne re-
marked, but we can be holder
now"
Consider Utility.
He made a suggestion that the
I commission might consider the util-
/ ity OF the farm loan boards as a
means Of extending short term cred
/ its to farmers for nine and twelve
months periods but said he would
/ make no detailed recommendation.
"All over the country We find that
| agricultural and livestock interests
/ feel they need more credit facili-
/ ties" he said, land want something
10 make themselves Independent OF
banks The farmers credit horizon
I is necessarily limited and local.
/ ANY man hesitates about getting the
| government in business, and we can't
use the reserve system for that
because its funds are essentially re-
serve funds, but ] consider there is
a possibility that the farm loan
banks might be extended 20 meet
the need. The question needs
! study"
Gov. Harding denied that his ad-
ministratiou of reserve bank policies
| had debated cotton prices
Series OF Letters.
AS the cotton surplus began to
appear" he said, Il tried 10 go as
far as could in my official position
to make the situation clear. I wrote
a series OF letters TO J. 5. Wana-
maker, the of1cial head of the
American Cotton Association, Civ
ing him my views as plainly as
could"
lie put the correspondence before
the committee. declaring that he
had urged producers to sell at least
a part OF tho load. and tighten the
load" and had worked to get eN-
port credit machinery established.
The situation called for silence.
he said. Everything humanely pos
slbls was done by the federal re-
serve board 10 help the situation
out"
He emphasized his present belief
that cotton prices were stabilized
with short crop in prospect and
that prices could be relied upor
completely for ali proper cred Z.
