COOLIDGE Tells.
BANKERS To HOLD
TO HIGH STANDARD

Washington, Oct. 29-President
Coolidge told group Of investment
bankers today that the country
looked TO them to weed out" those
engaged in the banking business who
do not maintain "a high standard of
ability and honesty"
Addressing the bankers, who are
here TO attend the annual convention
of the Investment Bankers .tssocia-
ton of america, from the south por-
tico of the White House, the prcsi-
dent said it was almost impossible
to weed out every undesirable clc-
mcnt. but the country has come to
know that it can rely upon the rep
reservations made by its investment
bankers"
More than that? he added. there
is an additional service YOU can rem
der: the country is coming to realize
ii must depend upon your assistance
and help to weed out those who are
| not desirable by reason of not
| maintaining a high standard of sta
Eility and honesty"
Spea&u@ at the first day sessions
of the convention declared that bust
ness conditions were good, were on
a stable basis. and gave every indi-
cation of leading to still better
situation. Among them was Secrc-
tary Wallace. of the Agriculture de-
! partment, who outlined the federal
governments program of aiding the
/ states in constructing and maintain
! ing good roads. Commenting briefly
| on agricultural conditions. he said
| that if they continued to improve as
! they had during the last year there
would be no agricultural problem"
! Optimistic as to future business
| conditions in this country, John a.
! Prescott, of Kansas City, president
, of the association. declared the
! United st; ties held the key to settle
/ ment of the PREPARATIONS question.
| Participation by this country in an
| inquiry into Germany's capacity to
| pay, he insisted, :hould not involve
| America in European politics.
More than 1000 bankers are at
| tending the convention.

.P|NCHOT ASSURED
GOVT. DOING ALL
POSSIBLE IN PENNA,

Washington, Oct. Ex-Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Is advised
in letter sent him tonight by Sec
rotary Mellon that the Treasury is
invoking every available means for
prohibition enforcement and that
statements to the contrary by the
governor in a letter addressed yes
terday to Mr.. Mellon. are "gratuitous
and not founded in fact.
Mr.. Melons reply which took up
in detail the points raised by the
pennsylvania governor suggested
in conclusion that 1t would be better
to expend energy in ascertaining
Facts and actually enforcing the law
than in the promotion of "unjustified
criticism" He informed the governor
further that sit ought to be clear to
you that | could not be less desir-
ous' that the prohibition laws be
enforced in Pennsylvania than in
any other state or section of the
nation.
Before any question has been
raised by YOU" the letter continues,
Il had already directed a resurvey
of brcweries and of the allowance

be made in the state of PENNSYLVANIA.
and you may be assured that it is
my purpose to do all that | can to
enforce the law and faithfully CO.
operate with you in that respect. l
ieel constrained to say that it would
stand all concerned in better stead
IL energies were expended in a sin
cere effort, in the first place, to find
what the real facts are as to those
who arc charged with the duty of
enforcement, and next to enforce the
law as best we can. and, at the same
tlme, TO recognize the futility of I'M
Justified criticism based upon an i'm
perfect understanding of the facts
Governor Pinchot'S inquiry whether
secretary Mellon would authorize
state enforcement officers in PennsyI-
Eanla to make inspections of distil-
Iefles and bfeweries was answered in
the affirmative by the Treasury head
who assured the governor that he
desired to employ every means of
bringing about closer cooperation be-
tween the federal and state forces
But in this connection" the letter
ADDS. Il beg to call your attention
10 the authority for inquiry which
YOU already have under the laws of
your own state. Your attention is

GIVEN Freedom
BY CHINESE BANDITS

Shanghai Oct 29-(By a. PD-
Miss Mary Darrach and Miss Mary
r. Sharp, British missionaries, cap
tured by bandits last month, have
been released, according to mes
sage received here today by the
China Inland Mission from the
Missions Superintendent of Honan
Province. The message gave no de-
tails, merely saying:
Ladies released"
The first report of the capture of
the two women missionaries reached
Shanghai on September 26. The
women were captured when bandits
raided the town of Sinwahsien,
Honan Province. In addition to con-
siderable loot the brigands carried
off the two missionaries and several
mission school girls. The captives
were taken 10 the mountains where
they were held for $4,000 ransom.
Later reports said the women
were undergoing many hardShips,
being scantily clad and having lit
tie food.

The condition of the other man,
identified by his wife today as Will
liam II. Jackson of Fall River, was
said to be somewhat improved but

arrived here.
Continued investigation has failed
TO solve the apparent connection of
the men with the wrecked and aban-
doned mptorboat Alpatha, TANNED in
the rocks of Naushon Island since
October IS. A receipt in the pocket
OF White indicated the purchase of
gasoline for the Alpatha. Registra-
ton papers aboard the Alpatha,
however, gave the owners name as
John Camp. Holliston, Mass. The
fuel tanks of the boat when found
were empty and one was punctured.
A rum list found is held aboard the
coast guard cutter Acushnet.
Papers found aboard the Vitesse
bore the names of Harold c. and AL
fred b. Wing OF F'airhaven. the latter
listed as master. 1t was learned here
today that until two weeks ago the
Vltesse was owned in New Bedford
by Stephen c. Lowe and that 1t was
