BANK FOR
TRADE
United r~res1 ceased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Creation of
an international trade bank to control
exchange was proposed by Comptroll-
er of the Currency Crissinger in an
address before the National Republi-
can Club here today.
This bank, Crissinger said, could
either issue its own international cur
rency for transaction of trade between
nations, or could adopt the currency
of one of the sounder nations as its
medium Of exchange.
"Such an institution" Crissineer
said, would furnish to every country
not only an incentive, but valued
and ever present aid, to bring its own
currency system up toward parity
with the medium of internationa'

Something gurgled suspiciously
under Will Miller's bulging coat.
Don't go an let dat jug talk SO
much, Willyum," cautioned Miller's
companion, Andrew Lott.
They were skirting the Internation-
al line near Calexico and Mexicali. It
was night.
Again the jug gurgled and som :
liquid splashed noisily with each ne
gro's step. Both wore heavy overcoats
that bulked round and large near the
waistline.
And then something happened.
Lam sakes!" howled Miller dole
fully. "We's done been cotched"
Two deputy sheriffs closed in on
them ominously. Lott tried to remove
cork and let gallon of amber fluid
waste itself on the ground. But the
sheriff's men were too quick for him.
Hurried search revealed each man
with a gallon of whiskey tucked un-
derneath his coat.
Lock 'em up for smuggling" were
the directions given here today to
Jailer Weir.

partment One
Selection of jury 20 try the three
men together was begun this morn
ing and proceeded slowly.
The charge against the three men
grew out Of the burning of their res

Grill, here last October. An investi-
cation followed the fire, resulting in
their arrest.
Deputy District Attorney Ellison
is prosecuting the case. Opposing
him, as counsel for tho trio of de-
PENDANTS is Attorney E. R. Utley.
It is the States contention that the
thleo men set fire to the restaurant
TO collect Insurance amounting to a
few thousand dollars. Proof of the
theory rests largely on circumstan-
tial evidence, although the deputy
prosecutor said today nc would int
duce witnesses who will testify to
seeing ono or more Of the defendants
about the burned premises shortly
before the fire.
The defense will be absolute denial
Of the arson charge and resistance oI
