Have WAY TO GUARD
FUNDS OF MINISTERS
FOR FUTURE SERVICE
(By Associated Press)

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., May 81
A new plan to protect ministers from
ecclesiastical Ponzis" by affording
them sound opportunity for invest
ment has been formulated by the
Methodist Board Of Conference Clai-
mates, according to an address by
Rev. Joseph B. Hingeley, Of Chicago
before the Annual Conference of In
terdenominational Secretaries of Min
isterial Relief of Protestant Churches
here today. Tie proposed plan. &C
cording to DR.. Hingeley, would yield
ministers in some cases a dollar 4
day on savings of a dollar a week,
and would insure them against dlsa-
bility or poverty in old age.
in preparing the plan" said DR..
Hingeley, Eve based the accumula-
tons on interest compounded seminar
nually at four per cent on money paid
during the minister's active years on
which, when retired, he would receive
a. fixed income for life. The actuarial
computation showed that if he should
! begin the payments of a dollar a week
when he was % years of age and
should continue such payments until
he was 65, his accumulations at the
usual rates would yield a dollar a
| day for the remainder of his life"
In describing the need for such an
actuarial plan DR.. Hingeley said thai
book advising agents how to pro
mote a certain speculative enterprise
classed the best ministerial prospects
as Presbyterians and Episcopalians
because they get the best salaries
and also Methodists and Baptists
because they are easy marks "fol
the promoter.
The plan would supplement the
present Methodist pensions, toward
which pastors do not regularly con
tribute, with provision Incorporating
actuarial principles tried out by othel
denominations, DR.. Hingeley explain

POSITION
OF JAPAN OCCUPIES
MINDS OF BANKERS
CBy Associated Press

TOXIC. May 31.-The unfavorable
economic position of Japan at present
shown by the decrease in the specie
reserves abroad, the decrease of de-
posts and increase of advances, the
adverse trade balance and the reduc-
lions of dividends paid by the chief in
dustrial concerns from an average Of
"a percent to IA percent, a low fig
ure here, continues to occupy the
minds of the bankers.
At a meeting of the Banking Syn
dictate held here on April 81, Jun
nosuke Inouye, president of the Bank
of Japan, warned his colleagues
against a restriction of advances to re-
/ liable concerns, while Seichiro XII
mura, vice-president of the same bank
warned the meeting that the worst
elimination of the situation could only
be averted by the most judicious &C
tivity of the bankers.
President Inouye said: Since the
I bankruptcy of a certain Osaka specu-
! lator recently, the bankers in Osaka
! have been naturally but unWisely in
clined to refrain from investment even
if the enterprises of the most reliable
/ character. This nervous tendency OF
the bankers seems to be beginning to
mark the attitude of the Toxic bank
ers as we'll. Such an injudicious re
| striction placed on bank advances
would prove no less fatal than bold
attempt to invest in enterprises oil
| dangerously speculative nature, anc
would only aggravate the existing eco
nomic condition"
Economic World Burdened.
! Mr.. kimura, vice-president of the
same bank, giving a general review
! of the economic situation present anC
past. said: Contrary to the happy
/ spring season now enjoyed in this
part Of the world, the economic worlC
is in its bitterest of aspects under
/ heavy frost. During wartime, wher
the country was under the spell o
the industrial boom, Japan made more
money than she could spend, with he
| specie reserves abroad increasing
from the pre-war figures of Y 100000,
600 up to Y 2,20O,000,000 and her for
eign debts lessened from the pre-wa
! Y l 900 000. 900 down to Y 100000 a
the end Of the year 1920.
II was not long, however, before
Japan began to suffer from the eff
feet of reaction. What with a stead,
increase of imports and decrease o
exports caused by the reduced pur
chasing power of the foreign consun
ers, the country's foreign trade ha
continued of late years score a
increasing excess of imports over e2
ports and with it all sorts of evil e.
fects attendant on such adverse ter
dency of trade"
Under the economic circumstance
no normal condition of money marke
can be expected"

Examination of George S. Ward, faith
er of Walter S. Ward confessed Stay
err of Clarence Peters, former sailor
as to what he knows regarding the
events leading up to the shooting Is
desired by the authorities. They hop
ed to get in touch with the head of
the baking company today and ask
him what was in the message he re-
ceived from his son that caused him
to hurry back from Europe.
According TO the younger Wards
statement of the killing, the blackmail
ring of which he says Peters was a
member began their threats and eff
forts to get money about the time his
father left for Europe. The officials
of Westchester county believe that
George s. Ward has been acquainted
with the facts by his son and hope
through him to clear up the mystery.
Marine corps officers at Paris ISL
and. S. c., have made it plain from
their records that Peters could not
have arrived in New York until about
II hours before he was killed. 1t also
became known that Peters while in
the marine barracks there boosted he
had rich friends up north who would
aid him whenever he desired"
Another member of the marines now
living in Brooklyn, who was discharg.
ed at about the time Peters was re.
jected, stated that Peters had describ
ed TO him how he rode around in mo-
tor cars in New York and that Peters
had said a telegram would bring him
all the money he needed.
This angle of Peters history is be
ing run down by Investigators who are
searching telegraph offices to see
messages were exchanged by Peters
with anyone near or in New York be
fore he came up to Paris Island to be
shot 10 death.
