AT HOME IN THE PARK

Walking through one of our local parks the other day. l was interested to watch a young mother who had evedently decided to set up her sum- mer home Inere I knew she must live in one of the tenement buildings a few blocks away, with hot baked ground in place of green lawn, and the scorchIng pavements for little feet to step out on.
 She sat quietly sewings6n n shady bench, a straw cushion under her and a double cushion thrown over the back of the seat to lean back on. A toddler crept around on the thick turf near by, and in his go-cart the baby waved a balloon and watched puppy gambling on the other side of the path. I sat down beside the placid little mother and talked with her a little.
 Why, the apartment is so hot and stuffy nowadays" she confided to me, little shyly touch foreign ac- morning work is finished I bring my babies and my lunch and here I live all day l keep a bottle of milk for the baby-it is in the cool water of the lagoon there, In the shade-and there are gl/ham crackers and lit tie cup of spinach for my little girl, and some sandwiches for me. I have book and magazine, as well as my sewing, and when I tire of sitting in one place. we take a little walk and find another place farther on.
 Both the children take their maps out here-the baby in his go-cart, for you see the lower part turns up and it forms little bed for him-and my little girl sleeps on a bench on the cushions which I have brought. While they sleep I sit on my shawl on the grass and lean against a tree. You see 1t is just as if this were my own great estate, with the little lake, the flowers and the great trees. | City people need not feel shut in so | long as there are these beautiful parks everywhere for us to live in. l After our supper, my husband and 1 often come out and spend ehe eve ming here, letting the baby sleep in his cart and our little girl on a rug on the grass. No rich man could have more beav%iful or comfortable grounds to roam about in. We are most grateful for all this"

DENIES vETE RANS'| LIQUOR REMOVED.
StOrekeeper Says None DeIiv- cred From Bureau Hos
 pitaI Without Permit

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-An em- phatic denial that there has been any wholesale delivery of liquors or narcotics from the veterans bureau supply depot at Perryville, Maryland was coupled in testimony today be- fore the senate Investigating com mittee with details of the sale of huge quantities of property from that depot at mere fraction of their cost
 Nebins B. Hendrick, general store keeper at the depot, was on the stand. His declaration as to the liquors and narcotics came voluntarily and apparently unexpectedly. He had concluded his recital about the sale of the supplies, much of which he testified are now or soon will De needed at Perryville, and was about to be excused from the stand after oommendation by Major General O'Ryan, general counsel for the com mittee, for his good work at the de- pot.
 Starts Fireworks.
 Before leave this witness stand" Hendrick said, T want you to ask me about the booze and narcotics at Perryville. There has been a lot in the newspapers about testimony that whisky and narcotics have been re- moved. We have resented that.
 T know that from March 15, 1921, when became general storekeeper, until l left Perryville today that neither Thompson & Kelly, Inc, Ca Boston firm that bought the other supplies), Charles R. Forbes nor any other person has gotten any liquors or narcotics and any man who says to the contrary Is g liar and the truth Is not in him. The narcotics and spirits that were there three years ago are there today except such as have been taken out In the regular course for hospital use.'
 Members of the committee inter- jected that there had been no testi- mony of the actual removal of either liquors or narcotics for illegal pur- poses.
 Questioned by General ORyan, Hendrick said his superior had a set of keys to the storehouse and con ceded that some of the stuff could be removed on Sunday when he Is not on duty. He added, however, that only small quantities could be taken away without his discovering the loss.
 Enters Denial.
 Lieut.. Com. Charles R. O'Leary, United States navy, formerly in charge of the division of supplies of the veterans bureau, also testified that 1t was his belief that none of the liquors or narcotics at Perryville had been removed illegally or with out proper authorization.

.LUS|TAN|A CLAIMS
 UPHELD BY BOARD
Four Decisions Determining Germany's Liability An
 nounced By Commission

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Four deci- sions determining German liability for American claims resulting from the war, including those growing out of the Lusitania's torpedoeing, were announced today by the mixed claims con mission.
 While upholding, broadly, the Lusi- tania claims, numbering PTS and ag- grsgating approximately S22,600, 900, the commission dismissed 3,190 claims, totalling about $S45,o00,000 for the recovery of insurance premi- ums paid by Americans for protection against war hazards.
 General principles governing the assessment of the American claims were laid down by the commission. Three of the decisions. including that of the Lusitania claims, were unan imous, but in the other interpreting obligations Edwin B. Parker, umpire, concurred with Chandler r. Ander son, American commissioner, over the dissent of the German commis sioner, Dr. Wilhelm Kiesselbach.
 An important feature of the Lusi tania decision was the refusal of the commission to assess exemplary or punitive damages. It held that such damages were penal in their nature, not compensation, and, therefore un- authorized by the treaty of Berlin.
 No specific awards in the Lusitania cases were made by the commission, it's decision merely announcing prin- ciples in determining each claim. In this connection it held that actual dan.agees for mental anguish and suffering of relatives of AmGrrcans lost on the Lusitania would be com pensated for but that Sentimental and vague" mental suffering would not be considered.
 In dismissing the claims for war risk premiums paid, the commission

 Mcintosh also admitted he was with the party, but that he did not leave the highway. He said he had been invited by Captain Skipwith to par- ticipate in the raid, having been told 1t was a "sheriff's party" He said skipwith led the party and gave all the orders.
 Russ Hardness, testified he heard Marvin Pickett at a cafe say the day after the raid that he was at Brad docks the night before.
 Cox Eldridge and "Cud" Pickett denied they participated in the raid and presented alibis.
 A flaw in the bills of information, charging the men were armed with shotgu uns Instead of pistols as sub- sequently testified to, caused de- lay in the proceedings. The state moved for permission to correct the bills. The defense objected, but Judge Odom granted the states motion.

FEDE RAJ RESERVE l FACING PROBLEM
Wisdom Of Bringing All EIigi- bIe Banks Into It Brings
 Challenge

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-Testimony chal- lenging the wisdom of any proposal seeking to bring all eligible banks into the federal reserve system was given by several witnesses today be- fore the congressional joint commit tee of inquiry into the reserve sys- tenn membership.
 Other witnesses urged a larger membership, embracing all eligible banks, as the most promising method of increasing the efficiency of the na- tional reserve agency. Opposition of the entire principle of credit control through the reserve banks was voiced by some of the middle west bankers who appeared today.
 Representative Louis T. McFadden, republican of Pennsylvania, is chair man of the committee. With him In the present inquiry, which will be continued tomorrow, are Representa- tives Strong, republican, Kansas; Wingo, Arkansas, and Steagall, Ala bama, democrats.
 The joint committee is composed of members of the banking and cur rency committees of the Senate and House, and is constituted to report on the reasons which restrain eligible banks and trust companies from af- filiating with the federal reserve sys- tenn.
 Recommend Legislative Changes.
 The inquiry is also to determine the effect of the present limited fed eral reserve membership upon finan- ciaI conditions in agricultural sec 1R l,a fn . mend administrative and Legislative changes calculated to bring about in- creased membership in the federal group.
 Members of the committee indi- cated following todays hearing that many bankers throughout the coun- try are not familiar with the federal reserve law, or the practical results of operation.
 Other testimony. it was found, demonstrated somewhat general lack of knowledge among the coun- try bankers as to the benefits of the federal reserve banking as against correspondent-af -affiliation with a large metropolitan bank at generally more costly rates. Several members of the congressional committee indicate that first among the recommends tions for legislative action VIII pc one aiming to familiarize all bank CTS with the practical workinS-out of the federal reserve system.
 Opposition to the inclusion Of more than the present number of member banks in the reserve system, came from Elgin Case, president of the state Bank of St. Joe, Ind, whose re- ply to the committees questionnaire, read into the record today, urged that the smsller banks be not per mitted to burden the reserve banks by direct operations, but that they continue to participae in he system Indirectly, namely through the mails.

Laurie Calhoun Not Guilty

BASTROP, La, Nov. 5.-Laurie Cal houn, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon" was found not guilty and another charge against him of "'conspiring to compel per son to leave the town of Bastrop," growing out of the same incident was submitted to the court by MT. Coco with the explanation that the evidence in that case would be the same as in the former one. Judge Odom formally found the defendant not guilty of this charge, thus dis posing of 1t.
 Calhoun was made a defendant be- cause of the Kidnapping of Fred Cobb on the streets of Bastrop in July, 1922. Cobb was on his way home from work when an automobile con- taining five men wearing black hoods drew up. One man leaped from the machine. presented pistol and taken into the country, lecture,d and told to mend his ways" Cobb testi- fled, adding that he was warned he would be killed if he did not do so. When the party reached the point where the lecture took place, Cobb said he noticed the mask of one of the men was torn off at the nose.~ He said he recognized him as Calhoun and that Identification was confirmed through the recognition of Calhoun's voice, which he knew well.
 Sets Up Alibi.
 Calhoun said he was at the home of Ernest Baker, mile from town, the day in question, playing poker with a party of friends, that the game began around 3 D. m. and con- tinued until 6:30. The ,abdrction of Cobb had taken place shortly after 5 o'clock. Four of the other five men who participated in the poker game testified as to Calhoun's presence. Cobb had said the man he recognized as Calhoun was not the one who left the car and held him up with a pis- tol, and the court held that Calhoun's
 participation had not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
 Cases to be tried tomorrow are those of Laurie Calhoun, Jeff Burnett and Harley Rogers, charged with as- sault with a dangerous weapon; J. k. Skipwith, Burnett and Fred Higgin- botham, conspiring to compel a per- son to leave his place of business, and J. K. Skipwith, Marvin Pickett. Cud Pickett, Sam Cox, Benton Pratt, Sam Eldridge and W. G. Mcintosh, con- spring to compel person to leave his home.

 Before Ambassador Jusserand sought his appointment with Secretary Hughes information had reached the state department that Great Britian, Italy and Belgium had reached an accord on the form of the invitation to the United States to participate In the inquiry. As the situation then was understood by Washington of ficials. 1t was said authoritatively. French insistences that the experts be limited to an inquiry into the present capacity for Germany to pay alone prevented final agreement.
