team. each making eight points.
Some splendid basket throwing was
done by Ruth Olson, of Ashland,

position on the floor.
The boys received even a more
severed drubbing at the hands of
The Ashland quintet. At the end
OF the first half the score stood o

made by Bertotti on free throw.
In fact all of Hurley's points were
scored by Bertotti. During the

rough. Kirby put up the hardest
fight Of any OF the players and re-
Ceived several hard knocks which
nearly put him out of the game.

merically ever returned in this dis
trict and the bonds required of the
defendants aggregate $225,000.

HADLEY HAS BAD RECORD

GOVERNOR HARDING
EXPLAINS POSITION
OF RESERVE BOARD
TRepublican A. r. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, May 5.-The posi-
tion of the federal reserve board TO-
day towards participation in the fl
nancial rehabilitation of Europe was
defined here tonight BY Governor
W. p. g. Harding in an address
before the executive committee of the
American Acceptance council.
While not referring specifically to
the proposed international confer
ence of banks of issue at London,
where President Harding has let IT
be known the presence of Governor
strong of the New York reserve
bank would meet with no admins
tration objections, Governor Harding
declared that in view Of large part
of the worlds gold stock being held
in this country much interest at
taches everywhere to any question as
10 how the banking resources OF the
country can be utilized without det-
rinent to domestic interests in bring
ing about a gradual restoration OIL
more normal conditions abroad.
Both the reserve board and the re-
serve banks, he asserted must OBJ
serve the limitations of the statutes
under which they operate which 40
not permit investment in obligations
OF foreign governments, but they can
do much to aid Europe by maintain
ing a strong banking position IN this
country.
"The federal reserve bank" he
said. must always be prepared to
rediscount for their member banks
and. as their name implies, they are
essentially reserve banks They
hold the entire legal reserve OF their
member banks as well as the gold
4rf1 q
notes in actual circulation. which
amounts now to about s2,150,000,-
900.
"They are not permitted to invest
in long term securities except notes
and bonds of the government Of the
United States, nor are they author
ized to invest in obligations of for-
eign governments. The essential
principle of the federal reserve act
is liquidity."
at may well be, however. that the
federal reserve system can render
effective aid to foreign countries by
maintaining strong banking posi-
ton. The marketing Of foreign Is
sues in this country is effected Tar
more readily in the present circum-
stances. when the position of the
federal reserve banks is strong, than
was the case two years ago when the
situation was the reverse.
II have no doubt that the financial
/ interests of this country recognize
| the great benefits which would ac-
crue to the American agricultural,
I commerce and industry from the
economic and political stabilization
OF Europe. but the destinies Of Eu-
ropean nations are after all. in their
! own hands. When those things are
done which are necessary to win the
confidence of American investors it
will be found that not even the tra-
gedies of the world war can change
the immutable law that money and
credit tend to flow in the direction
where they can be most safely and
profitably employed"

Small Jury Gets
Setback When z
Men Challenged
Republican A. ?. Leased Wire,

WAUKEGAN. Ills. May 5. - The
jury to try Governor Len Small,
charged with conspiracy to embezzle
state funds, was torn apart today to
peremptorily challenge two men. one
of whom had been finally accepted
and sworn and had been sitting in
the jury box for more than week.
The dwindling hope of obtaining a
full jury by the end of the second
week of the trial was completely
shattered when a dispute arose over
the question of permitting the defense
to make, in the examination OF
prospective jurors, reference to its
contention that the state treasury act
of 1907 is unconstitutional.
1t was agreed that Judge Edwards
will not rule on the prosecutions OBJ
lection to this point until after the
last panel is tentatively completed.
The trial will start its third week
next Monday with two jurors yet to
be found and two of those seated
still liable to peremptory challenge.

sensational criminal cases in the his
tory of local courts. marked through
out by the devotion of wife, who
after being exonerated of murder
charge on which her husband was
convicted. committed another offense
in order to be with him in his con-
finement.
Hadley was first taken into Gus
tody at Kansas City, Mo-, March 20,

Texas.
After many fearful pleas, Mrs.
Hadley persuaded Sheriff w. J. Giles

accompany her husband to Texas TO
face his accusers.
While they were en- route to Texas.
Mrs. Hadley shot Sheriff Giles from
behind killing him instantly. EIadley
then procured the officers revolver

off the passengers and crew until he
and his wife escaped. Both were ap-

Their joint trial attracted nation
wide attention. Hadley was con-
victed of slayinE~the sheriff and Seu-
fenced to life imprisonment. His
wife, was acquitted on a plea of in
sanity. Later she was sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment when she
broke jail. At the same time she tod
authorities that she had no inten-
ton OF fleeing but wanted to commit
an offense that would send her to the
penitentiary so she could be near her
husband. More than a year ago
Hadley was granted a ten day leave
of absence to visit his sick mother.
