WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD
VVashington. ID. C.. Sent. 21


 Invitations were extended to bank CTS In Alabama today to attend ses- sions of the joint congressional com mittee, beginning October 2, at which an effort will be made to ascertain reasons why state banks have not joined the federal reserve system as generally as the government desires.
 According to statistics, already in the hands of committee, the south, and Alabama particularly, is a most serious offender"
 The par collection feature of the law which until a decision of the supreme court state banks generally opposed and in which Alabama was greatly concerned, will be given es- pecial attention.
 The real object of the investiga- tion, it is pointed out, is to remove friction in order that all state banks might become members of the system. Alabama member and non-member banks were invited today.
 Representative Henry B. Steagall of the Third Alabama district is a mem Der of the joint committee.

PRESBYTER|ANS TO NE w HOME FUR REV.E.C.SCOTT
EnSIey Enthused Over Pro- posed Establishment Of
 Mission
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD [

In order to provide a convenient and suitable manse for the Rev. E. C.. Scott, pastor of the Ensley Presby- the church has secured the residence adjoining the site for It's new build ing. The house presently occupied will be used by Mir. Scott within a shor. time.
 Purchase of this property by the congregation now gives the church one-quarter of a block at Avenue G and Twenty street, whereon will be located first, the Sunday school building, later the church building and the manse of the min ister in charge. The purchase and the plans of the Presbyterian con gregations are perhaps the most ex- tensive of any congregation In Ems ley at the present time, The build- ing secured was owned by Ramsay and Mccormack, and when the church purchased the lots for the tiinal lot would be taken, thus rounding out the quarter of block. This was the result
 It was stated Friday by pr. W. H. Wynne, chairman of the building committee, that details for the con struction of the building are rapidly maturing and that definite steps would be taken within a few days looking to the beginning of construc- tion.
 There will follow in church con struction the Fhptist church for which properties have been secured on Avenue E near Twenty second street. However, nothing definite has been given out lately by that congregation relative to their plans.

Three Men Held After Raid of

One of the most complete race
track betting outfits ever seized in
the District was discovered yester-
day when police from the First
precinct raided the apartment of
Jack B. Keleher, living at the Chau-
mont, 1886 street northwest, and
seized a large amount of para
pheFnalia. Z Included in the equip
ment were seven telephone trunk
lines. BY orders of Captain Brown,
employees Of the telephone company
disconnected the instruments, and
they are now being held at the
First precinct as evidence.
Keleher, who is forty-one years
old; Claud Lester Burrows, forty
years old. of Wardman Park Hotel
and William B. Carnes. thirty-nine
years old, of the Burlington apart
ments, were charged with making
a handbook on the races, and were
later released in $4,000 bond.
Police say that hundreds of we'll

Paris Regards Offer
AS Effort to Draw
u. S. Into Debt Tangle
BY International News Service.

PARIS, May 2.--Germany's new
reparations proposals., demanding
evacuation of the Ruhr, received a
hostile reception in Paris. 1t was
generally accepted as foregone
conclusion that the offer would be
rejected by France.
French officials believe that Ger
many's prime object in formulating
the new proposals was to draw the
United States into the reparations
negotiations. However, advices
from Washington strongly Indicate
that the United States will remain
aloof.
France will stand pat upon the
original program worked out first
in Paris and then reaffirmed at
Brussels. Under this plan the
French and Belgians will not
evacuates the Ruhr until Germany
makes PREPARATIONS offer that is
acceptable to the two governments.
Then evacuation win be gradual,
troops being withdrawn as Germany
pays.
French officials declare that 3d.
0O0,000,000 .gold marks Cess than
$7,500,000. 1000 is too low, although
it was intimated that France would
consent to $12, 900, 900 900.
1t is improbable that France will
deem the German offer sufficiently
satisfactory to open any negotia-
tionS with the other allies.

INQUEST I ODAY
IN DEATH BY
HAZING
President of Northwestern
University and Students Call
ed to Solve Mystery.

CHICAGO, May president
Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern
University, members Of the 1921
sophomore and freshman classes
and former companions of Leighton
Mount will be called today in the
inquest into the death of the UNI
fortunate youth, whose body.
weighted with debris was found
Monday night under a pier ut
Evanston. Indications are Mount
was slain by group of sopho-
mores who were hazing freshmen,
of whom Mount was one when ne
vanished in September, 1921.
81 have been told the president
of the university is not interested
in this investigation, said Coroner
Wolfe, in announcing thu names
Of witnesses. 'sHe win be today.
He Is witness. !"
Much Importance is being at
tached to discovery Of a knife
found in the Cairn from which the
body was taken. Efforts will be
made to identify it.
From the police at Evanston
came the startling disclosure today
that chemicals had been used on
the body in an effort to hasten
decomposition before it should be
found and thus make Identification
impossible.
It was generally accepted today
that young Mount was a victim
of drowning. Ducking freshmen in
Lake Michigan was a favorife
method of torture among sopho-
mores who were hazing freshmen at
the time, according to students.
