WHO'LL TOTE DRUM"
IS BURNING QUESTION
BEFORE POLICE BAND
Chicago Officer Declares He
Will Not Garry Musical
instrument

CHICAGO, May 20-The prosaic
question Of who, if anyone. is going
to tote the bass drum in the Chicago
police band has suddenly become
burning issue in the life of the police
department, the local music world
and thousands of chronic parade
hounds.
Vice raids, the suppression of dan
gerous criminals and "shake-ups" on
the force have been temporarily for
gotten in the intense interest created
by the drum -toting problem. which
the police trial board will attempt to
settle next Wednesday.
The racket started through the vio-
lent revolt of Patrolman John II. Van
Den Brock. who claims that he was
not born to the abhorred job, but
! that it was thrust upon him. 1t is
the most inglorious job Van Den
Brock knows of. not to say de-
degrading.
Claims Indi&nity.
1t wouldn't be so bad, the patrol
man averred, if he could hit the dog
gone thing once in awhile, and set
a natural aversion to drums out of
his system. but he claimed that to
carry the thing just for someone else
to slam. gloriously was unbearable.
Van Den Brock S official duty is
to escort children and timid flappers
across Broadway at Wilson avenue.
He speaks several languages, includ-
ing traffic cop languauge. and hence
possessing distinction as an actually
educated cop, his plight he feels. was
rendered. all the worse. He said as
much, and resigned as the bands
drum toter.

RAILROAD AGAIN
DEFIES FEDERAL
LABOR TRIBUNAL
Pennsylvania President Re-
fuses To Recognize Broth
erhOOd Of Clerks

CHICAGO, May 20.-The Pennsvl-
vania railroad has again defied the
United States railroad beard in re
fusing to appear before the board
Monday when that tribunal hears a
complaint against the Pennsylvania
brought by the Brotherhood of Rail
way and Steamship Clerks.
The brotherhood claims to be the
recognized representative of Penn
sylvania employees before the board,
while the carriers claims its en-
pltyes are represented by the off
GERS of it's company union" The
board has persistently sought to have
an election of the employees to deter
mine whom the employees actually
want as their representatives.
Samuel Rea. president of the Penn
Sunday, declared that the Pennsyl-
vania has no dispute with it's clerical
and miscellaneous forces and hence
will not be represented at Mondays
hearing.
THE clerical and miscellaneous
forces on the Pennsylvania railroad
system. whom the Brotherhood of
Railway and Steamship Clerks claim
the right to represent, adopted the
plan of employee representatio ton and
selected by secret ballot the en-
ployees they desired to represent
them In matters pertaining to their
rates Of pay and working conditions"
Rea told the board.
There is no dispute between these
elected representatives and the man
agement which in our opinion Will
not be amicably settled"
The labor boards attitude toward
the case of the clerks union has been
the same as 1t manifested toward
the Pennsylvania shopmen. Is de-
cision declared the agreements be-
tween the company and it's employ es
null and void. The board has no
power to enforce this decision. but is
expected to condemn publicly the
Pennsylvania violation of it's rul-

Startling developments are expect

to die June for the murder of Kirby

committed the murder of Kirby Cole

erick Beddow of Birmingham, inter-
ested in obtaining Communication of
Wilson's sentence to life imprison-
ment. and if possible a parole, were
investigating the case all day Sunday,
and following a short trip out of the
city announced Sunday night that the
arrest of the real murderer of Kirby
Cole could be expected in the immedi-
ate future.
Prison Workers Active.
Mr.. Patton and James G. Rankin,
Athens, Ala, attorneys appointed by
Judge r. C. Brickel before the Lime
stone circuit court to defend Wilson,
are still working on the case, and are
being assisted by William Wise, Mrs.
T. B. Ridout. Mrs. r. ]. Foster, Mrs.
Julia B. McNutt. Mrs. A. J. Wilkinson
prison workers. and Roderick Bed
dow, Birmingham attorney.
Following the publication of state
ments Saturday by Fred Wall, deputy
solicitor of Limestone county, pur-
porting to give THE Truth as to Tom
Wilson," r. 3. Patton declared that
certain statements had been published
which he desired to take issue with.
In the first place. Mr.. Wall says
that Tom Wilson was sent to Bir-
minSham at the request of Mr.. Cole
father OF the murdered youth, because
be was afraid that Tom would escape
from the Limestone county jail, and
this is in itself absolutely wrong
Mr.. Patton said. The real truth OF
the matter is that Immediately after
Tom Wilson had been sentenced to die
by Judge Brickel, the Judge called Mr..
Rankin and myself, who had been ap-
pointed to defend Wilson, to the
bench. and asked if we did not think
it best that Wilson be sent to Biz
mingham for safekeeping because
feeling against the youth was run
ming so high in Athens at that time
that it was thought it would be dan
gerous to keep him in Limestone
county. Both Mr.. Rankin and myself
advised Judge Brickel that we
thought this would be the best action
to take, and accordingly Wilson was
brought to Birmingham.
Says Sentiment Reversed.
Since that time. however" Mr.. Pat
ton continued, public sentiment has
had complete reversal in Limestone
county, and the people are in favor of
having the sentence of the condemned
youth committed to life Imprisonment.

MANY PROBLEMS
FACING FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD
Advisory Council Will Meet
Today To Take Up Finan-
CiaI Questions

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The reg
ular quarterly session of the federal
advisory council of the federal re-
serve system will convene here to-
morrow, facing what is regarded oy
some officials as the most important
program for discussion that has been
laid before the council in many
months. The meeting, expected to
last two days, will be behind closed
doors.
Members of the council who come
from each of the reserve districts
will confer at time when concern is
manifest over the tendencies toward
expansion and initiation characterize
ing general business and economic
conditions. The reserve board has
made several public statements of
the situation, which were interpreted
by some as warnings against too
RAPID employment of credit and
undue expansion in commerce indus
try. The advisory council, 1t appears
certain, will go into every phase of
the situation. and while it Is hardly
expected to suggest cure all, it
probably will consider conditions
from the standpoint of a reserve sys-
tenn policy.
Cuban Banking Problem.
The knotty question of whether the
Boston reserve bank should be grant
ed permission to place an agency in
Havana, Cuba, or whether the privi-
lege should be according the reserve
bank at Atlanta will come before the
council for discussion.
Another subject expected to come
up for discussion at the council ses-
sons is that of international trade,
with the kindred movement of gold,
which directly affects the banking
industry of the United States. The
recent turn OF the trade balance
against the United States was not I'M
expected. Secretary Mellon, ex-offcio
chairman Of the reserve board, hav-
ing said it was only natural that
such change should result from the
lowered buying power of most of the
European nations, together with
low production cost, which has per-
mitted those nations to undersell
American manufacturers and pro-
ducers.
Watch Flow of Gold,
Regardless of the reason for the
increase in the value of imports over
exports, it is known that those who
are watching the flow of gold are
looking closely for signs that may
indicate whether the excess of gold
now held here may be drained out.
If such is the case, it was asserted,
then the reserve resources of the
banking institutions of the country
are reduced by that amount. Up to
the present time, the commercial
banks have been financing the trade
Increase without calling upon the re-
serve banks for accommodation, but
the concern OF the financiers as to
when. if ever, the demand for more
credit will overlap the supply avail
able at commercial banks.
