REORGAN|zE BANK
HUGHES DECLARES HE CANNOT
SAY IF DAY AND NIGHT
BANK WILL REOPEN.
MEETING HAD HOPEFUL TONE
President Hohensehiid States Board 10
Considering How to Pay 100 Cents
on the DoIIar---Vaiue Of Loans
Must Be Determined.

st. Louis, Mo.--Commissioner OF
Finance J. G. Hughes, who met with
the board Of directors Of the Night and
Day Bank for the purpose Of discussing
the reorganization of the bank through
the raising of sufficient capital TO offset
its losses, said that while the meet
ing had hopeful rome" not enough
progress was made to warrant the
statement that the bank can or will be
reorganized.
The meeting was held in the law
office of former Governor Elliott w.
Major, a director, and was attended,
among others, by ii. II. Hohenschild,
president; F. J. Cornwell, Jr.. and
Major. Hughes said he Is without per-
sonal acquaintance with some of the
directors and could not give the names
of all Of the directors present.
Hughes declined TO say how much
money will be needed to swing the re-
organization, or whether any of the
directors gave assurances that any Of
the amount needed had been pledged.
Plans to Pay In Full.
Hohenschild, heaviest stakeholder In
the Night and Day Bank, the doors of
which were closed Jan. 6, when bank
examiners discovered that the cashier,
Arthur o. Meininger, had misappropri-
ated the funds of the institution, said
that plans for reorganization are I'M
der way. He authorized the following
statement upon being questioned about
the meeting with Hughes: "The board
of directors is considering plans for a
reorganization, which will insure the
payment to every depositor of 100
cents on the dollar" The total deposits
are about $2,S20,O0O.
Hohenschild declined to say whether
additional capital had been pledged,
and said that the statement quoted was
all that he cared to say about reorgani-
cation.
The Interpretations Of the cashier
have now been definitely determined
to be $754,000. This is the amount an
nounced by Howard sidener, circuit
attorney.
Offsetting the cashiers mlsappropri
atoms and protecting the depositors t.
that extent are the capital stock, sur
plus and undivided profits, aggregatinf
100000; an indemnifying bond of $75.
600, and assets discovered or dug VI
by Hughes and his examiners aggre
eating 100000. The total Of those
items is $685., 900.

PER CAPITA CIRCULATION or
MONEY DECLINED LAST YEAR

Decrease Of Nearly $1,000, 900 In
Federal Reserve Notes.

Washlngton.--Per capita circulation
of money in the United States declined
5000 during the last year, according
to statement issued by the treasury.

71S in circulation and an estimated
population of 107,249,OO0.
The reduction in the amount of
money in circulation was accounted
for mainly by the decrease of nearly

ing $2,443, 7S9,730 in circulation, as

BILL To MUZzLE
PRESS ASSA|LED
REGULATIONS ARE MORE SEVERE
THAN EuRoPE's, SENATORS
DECLARE AT HEARING.
CALLED BUREAUCRATIC PLAN
Measure Would Arbitrarily Limit the
Freedom Of Speech, Is Essentially
Vicious and Indefensible, De-
elares Stanley Of Kentucky.

Washington.---A third and final
hearing was held by subcommittee
Of the Senate judiciary committee on
the bill ostensibly designed to close
the mails to newspapers carrying tips
or suggestions for racetrack gambling,
but which would, in the opinion Of
newspaper publishers, virtually pro-
hibit the publication of sporting news.
At the hearing representatives of the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION presented arguments against
the bill and officers of reform organi-
cations, who had presented their case
at the first two hearings, closed both
of the debates.
Discussion, however, went beyond
the immediate effect Of the bill and
took into consideration the general
tendency of such legislation. During
the hearing Senator william f. Borah
of Idaho, member Of the subcommit-
tee, remarked:
"The bill Is merely symptom Of the
constant building up Of a bureaucratic
system of government. There Is hardly
an industry which is not being brought
under the control Of some bureau here
in Washington. There is scarcely any
business that isn't in a straightjacket
1t is burying the people beneath bur.
den of taxes and destroying the initia.

the committee, Senator Stanley APP.
peared in the defense Of free speech
| for, as he said at the outset, $50 far
as section is concerned, this is not
a bill to prohibit racing, but to limit
| freedom of speech. 1t places arbitrary
restraints not on the race tracks, but
on the press. To directly and arbi
trarily limit freedom of speech, in or
der to reach, possibly and indirectly
some local violation of the law, such as
wagers on race track, it is essentially
vicious and indefensible."
"Do you believe" interrupted Sena
tor Thomas Sterling Of South Dakota
chairman of the subcommittee, "tha
the giving of information on race tract
bets should be prohibited?"
Does the senator believe" respond
ed Senator Stanley, "that the fedora
government should prohibit everything
that is morally wrong?"
'There are limits to the power OF thu
federal government"
81 am glad to hear that" said Sena
tor Stanley. 81 have sometimes doubt
ed 1t of late"
This is the worst phase Of this leg
isIative itch with which the country 4
afflicted" he continued "This passion
for regulating all details of life ant
morals. One bad law breeds a mil
lion." He quoted the dissenting opin
ion of Chief Justice Fuller in thu
Supreme Courts decision on the Louis
lana lottery case: '"The scope Of tn
commerce clause of the constitution
cannot be extended because Of thu
present state of public opinion"
