GIRL is BURGLAR "QUEEN'
12-Year-oId Wore Boy's Clothes,
Smoked Cigarettes, and Directed
Activities of Bandits.

Chelsea, Mass.-Led by a twelve
year-old girl, who planned their raids
and divided the loot, IL boys, ranging
from nine to fifteen years old, COM
mitted more than so thefts from homes
and stores in Chelsea, Mass, during
the last two months, according to the
police.
Wearing boys clothing, smoking Gig
arettes with her pals, and on occa-
sions delivering a punch which had
plenty of force behind it, the young
queen of the gang" maintained, it
is said, a powerful and relentless lead
ership over the youthful bandits. 1t
was said by the police that the boys
who are alleged to have committed
the robberies carried flash lights, Skel-
eton keys, and jimmies and used them
so skillfully that for several weeks
the authorities blamed a gang of ex-
pert thieves.
The accused youngsters are said to
have handed over the most of their
loot to the queen" who, in turn, dis
posed Of it through various fences"
The girl is registered as pupil in one

new RESERVE
BANK BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION OF NEW EDlFIcE
IN DENVER WILL BEGIN
SOON.
WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED
SENATOR PHIPPs Is SUCCESSFUL
IN URGING NECESSITY OF
STRUCTURE.
western Newspaper Union News serice)

notwithstanding of Treasury
Mellon has authorized the construction
Of the Federal Reserve Bank building
at Denver. The site having already
been obtained, construction work may
now begin as soon as weather condi-
tons permit.
Senator Phipps, speaking for his
colleague and Colorado members or
the House as we'll as himself, conferred
at length with Secretary Mellon re-
Gently with the result that the treas
ury head gave his approval for carry
ing forward the building plans.
The federal reserve board called a
halt on the Denver building plans a
few months ago when the Senate
adopted the Harris amendment to the
reserve act providing the board should
not construct bank buildings without
the consent of Congress, except where
the cost was less than $250,OOO. The
House, however, has never passed on
that amendment and therefore it new
er has become law.
No question has been raised about
the necessity for properly housing the
Denver reserve bank. Senator Phipps
urged not only that the necessity for
the building exists but that now is a
highly favorable time to begin con-
struction work. Besides filling a me-
cessity, construction of the new build
ing will provide employment for many
men.
There will be employment for those
who manufacture building materials
as well as tradesmen engaged in the
construction work. The Denver Clear
ing House bank and many Denver
business men have been urging that
the construction work be no longer de-
layed.
Now that Secretary Mellon has per-
sonally authorized construction and
there being no legal barrier, in view
of the Houses failure to adopt the
Senate amendment, the building plans
may be pushed to completion.
1--WE have had no official notice OF
the orders to go ahead with the con-
struction Of the bank, but we are
might glad to hear that Secretary Mel
lon has issued the order to proceed"
said Charles A. Burkhardt, manager
of the Denver branch of the Kansas
City Federal Reserve bank, on being
told that Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon had authorized construction of
the Federal Reserve bank in Denver.
eve were just working out the
plans when the bill was introduced
into the Senate and the order to stop
was received
"Orders to take up the work where
it was left off probably will come
through the Kansas City bank to the
Denver branch
The property on which the bank is
to be built is the eight lots on the
northeast corner of Eighteenth and
Curtis streets where the old "Keeley''
building now stands.

Reject Golf
Club Offer
Army and Navy Men
Turn DOlUn Member
ship Proposal.

How's the new Congressional Coun-
asked that question. I really don't
know, but of course one hears rumors
about everything and the new club
is no exception; the air is full of ru-
mitting a proposition to purchase
900 shares in the Congressional Coun-
try Club was fatty rejected at a
meeting of the resident members Of
the Army and Navy Club about a
week ago. 1t gave the Army and
Navy Club members the privileges
of the club. which meant they could
enjoy golf and such sports the Army
and Navy Club does not now pro-
vide.
1t was the largest special meeting
ever held by the club and those at
tending overwhelmingly supported the
action of the directors in reporting
against the scheme.
Some time ago the proposal was re-
jected by the board of governors. A
petition was circulated for a meeting
of the resident members for the pur-
pose of considering the arrangement.
1t came up in the form of a resolu-
ton under which the proposition
would be submitted to q vote of the
entire membership.
A lengthy and at times animated
debate took place before the resolu-
ton was submitted to a vote of the
members present.
Those opposed to the scheme at
tackled the soundness of the financial
features Of the proposition. 1t was
insisted that 1t was an expensive lux
ury which the Army and Navy Club
could not AFFORD. The claim was made
that the Congressional Country Club
is not fully financed The proposal.
1t was urged, amounted to a sub
scription Of $4,000 to assist in
financing a project over which the
members Of the Army and Navy Club
would exercise no control
Another argument that was made
against the proposition was that 1t
would necessitate a loan of $4,000
with which to purchase Congressional
Country Club stock. For this the
club was to receive only 800 member
ships. which It was insisted would be
available for resident members only.
1t Is argued that such an arrange
ment would be unfair to nonresident
members. Especially is this true, It
was stated. as five-sixths Of the club
members live outside Of Washington
and the District Of Columbia. Mem
bers were further urged to vote down
the resolution as 1t would cost about
$500 to get the vote of the club MEM
bership on the proposition.
The issue also developed into the
question as to whether the board Of
governors was to be sustained In its
action. 1t was claimed that the board
had ma lie thorough Investigation Of
the merits Of the question and that 1t
should be sustained. It was sus-
tanned. emphatically.
