Monkey Goes to School
And Pupils Run Wild

. NEW. YORK.-It was worth whh
going to school recently at Public
School SO at Thames street and Van
dervoort place, Brooklyn, for ev-
erybody, pupils and teachers, joined
in a monkey hunt.
The monkey belongs to the all
American Fishing club, at Van
dervoort place, and went to school by
mistake. The first youngster to see
him announced his discovery with
shrieks of joy, and with one accord
all his fellows turned from the pur-
suit of knowledge to that of the mon
key
The panic-stricken little animal
fled from floor to floor, the number
of hunters increasing at every floor
and at last the teachers themselves
took a hand, fearing some one would
be hurt in the headlong chase or
that the terrified monkey would bite
whoever managed to lay hands on
him.
That is exactly what he did
Martha E. BeckW. of 15S Halsey
street, a clerk in The school, was bit
ten as she seized the monkey, and
fourteen-year-old Dominick Sichert
of 1917 Flushing avenue, who tried
to help her, also wat bitten. The
bites were not serious enough to re.
quire medical attention. The monkey
went back to the all-American Fish.

Worst Of Stingency
Over, Warburg Tells
American Bankers

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Oct. g.
Foreign trade was the topic on the
program Of the third session of the
American Bankers Associations
here today. Alignment of factions
indicated, however, that an internal
problem throbbed with greater inter-
est, whether national banks should
be permitted to extend their activi-
ties by means Of branches.
of national banks into the state
bank fields was expressed earlier
in the convention in the state bank
division. Delegates expected to
fight out the question either today
OF tomorrow and put the convention
on record as to a proposed federal
law that would permit this new
move. The program, however, in
addition to the election of officers
included the discussions Of interna-
tional affairs by students.
The worst Of the credit stringency
seems to be over, and 1t appears that
the country has borne the period of
ported to the American Bankers
Association convention here Wednes-
day by its economic policy commits
sion of which Paul M. Warburg, of
New York, is chairman.
\ Natural recuperative forces are
now making for recovery" the re-
port said, and there is ever yreason
to believe that when wages have
been readjusted and normal balance
is re-established between industries
and between nations, our country
will enter upon new career of
prosperity and advancement.
1.-THE commission again points to
the dangerous attempts which are
made so frequently at present to I'M
dertake to cure all existing economic
evils by legislative action. The COM
mission feels strongly that most of
our troubles will be eradicated more
quickly and cured more thoroughly
If economic laws are allowed free
ploy.
The commission regards especial
ly many of the amendments proposed
to the federal reserve act as unde-
benefits to be derived from the fed
eral reserve system. The commIs
sion believes that so long as the
federal reserve system is able To
continue, it's work as successfully as
it has begun, it should be- left to
function with the least possible In

Public opinion will do more than
either railroad men or bankers can
TO to bring about that Improvement

of the Southern Pacific company
told the bankers association.
The public needs to understand
the banking business better than it
does" he said. ''Hence the banks
have gone into the business of pub
licity. The people need to under
stand the railroads better than they
do, and we need the help Of the bank
ers to put the case of the railroads
before the people as something i'm

Confessed Embezzler
Elected Town Auditor

NEW CANAAN, Conn.-Alfred HI.
Raymond, who has admitted embez-
zling funds of the First National
bank, of this place, for the last ten
years, and is under bail on a charge
of taking $9,272 from the institution
has been elected auditor Of New
Canaan at the town election.
He had been nominated for the Of
flee before his arrest, and his fellow
townsmen refused to have his name
removed from the ticket. They sub
scribed and turned over to the bank
sufficient funds to make up the diff
ference between the value of house
which Raymond and his sister deed
ed to the bank and the amount of
his embezzlement.
Many of them asserted that in
spite of his confession, they would
trust Alfred Raymond with every
penny they possessed. officials of
the bank were not inclined to press
the case, but federal examiners who
d scovered the shortage, caused the
young mans arrest and indictment.
His friends are eXerting all their
influence to have his case dealt with
leniently. They believe that the
bank paid him an inadequate salary.
