Probably one of the most laugh
able sights in Burlington County is
the sign which adorns the West City
Line of Beverly, which has been
erected by the Police Committee. un-
der the leadership of the Chief, Dill

Apparently the Chief has allowed

BY MASSES
Josephus Daniels Heads Meet
ing of Committee at La
fayette Hotel Here

Silver donations from the COM
mon people OF the United States
will build the national memorial to
William Jennings Bryan, in the Ma
tionaI Capital. This much was de-
cided today by the Bryan memorial
committee, headed by former Sec
rotary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels, meeting in the Lafayette
Hotel.
Mr.. Daniels was elected president
Of the Permanent Memorial Assoc
citation OF which the committee is a
nucleus. Others elected were: Vice
presidents, w. H Thompson, of Lin
coin, Neb.: John Shelton Williams,
Of Richmond, Va. and Raymond
Robins, of Chicago; secretary,
Colonel p. H. Callahan, of Louis
vile, KY, and treasurer, Willard r.
Dunlap, of Jacksonville, Ill.
The meeting was attended by
men prominently associated with
every place of Mr.. Bryans career.
There were statesmen and national
political figures, friends from his
home State of Nebraska and his
adopted one, Florida, Catholic and
Protestant clergy, former associates

BY FRED J. WALKER

TT0Slu0uL OOOllUR0 was CON-
fronted today by sharply divided
opinion in his Cabinet as to what
the Administration should do in
the aircraft controversy.
The President has declined thus
far to reveal his views in the
matter, leaving it to the War De-
partment to deal with Colonel
William Mitchell, now scheduled
for court-martial for his attacks
on the conduct of military avia-
ton.
Wide Inquiry Sought
Furnishing of Mitchell however,
will not be sufficient, in the opinion
of Acting Secretary of War Davis,
who favors an investigation by an
impartial body to get at the root
of the problem and to determine,
to the satisfaction of all concerned,
whether Mitchell or his superiors
in the department are right.
An inquiry of this kind, conduct.
ed probably by a commission
named by the President, would
scrutinize the aircraft activities OF
both the War and Navy Depart.
ment, but this is opposed by Secre.
tary of the Navy Wilbur on the
ground that little, If anything,
would be accomplished thereby.
After discussing the situation
with the heads of both departments
the President was expected either
to approve the steps already taken
by the War Department in the
Mitchell case, or to adopt a new
course should he decide that the
situation is grave enough to call
for separate executive action.
Department Waits Report
In the meantime, while the War
Department awaited a report from
San Antonio upon which will be
based, court-martial proceedings
against Colonel Mitchell, reports
reached officials here that Score
tary OF War John w. Weeks will
return shortly to his desk here to
personally face the storm that has
been raised over military aero
nautics.
Friends of Weeks have been in.
formed that the Secretary of War
is practically restored to health
with the exception Of slight short.
to be on the ground to defend the
War Department, which he has
headed since 1921, from the attacks
of Mitchell and other opponents of
the policies which he has approved.

in Washington life, reformers,
prohihitionists and Government
officials. One woman was pres
emit, Miss Margaret Rauber, of
this city.
Many were the brief eulogfes dur
ing the course of the meeting. Vari-
Gus were the plans proposed for a
memorial. Several favored a uni
versity to perpetuate the teachings
OF the Conmoner.
Colonel Callahan, who with Mr..
Daniels and others had worked on
ARRANGEMENTS for the meeting for
several weeks, told the committee
that several different groups had
approached him with projects for
the memorial-an arch OF triumph,
a replica of the Roman Pantheon, a
Temple of Peace in Washington
Mr. Daniels, in his opening address,
listed still more suggestions.
People to Contribute
Several speakers stressed the I'M
portance of allowing the plain
people of America, who loved Bryan
and were loved by him, to contri-
Eute toward the memorial, building
it by small donations only. A num-
Der Of these short talks were de.
livered while a committee headed

met in the hotel lobby to nominate
permanent officers and suggest gen.
eral. plans for carrying on the

citation through the States.

affairs of his country, he has let
no one know it. To his friends he
merely says he Is mot out of touch
with Indiana politics" but there is
no hint of the dreams that might
lie in his heart.
Although he keeps one eye on his
own future, McCray's immediate in
terests are centered on uplifting
men within the prison. He is a
strong advocate Of several prison re
forms, the chief one of which is
vocating this change in the Federal
system he draws his own career to
point a moral.
''Indeterminate sentences should
be the basis for a revision of prison
laws" says McCray. THE present
system in which judge can mete
out any sentence he desires is cruel
and unjust. For instance, two New
York swindlefs were sent here the
other day on sentences of one year
and day. They had confessed to
stealing about $4,000, 900 from poor
people, mostly widows and orphans.
They pleaded guilty and were given
a year and day.
Guilty of No Crime
Now, / was guilty of no crime,
but others said was, and because
fought the charge a judge gave
me ten years. / put my own for
tune behind my business and /
never harmed anybody.
Yet l am here for ten times as
long a term as these two confessed
thieves, and not because my crime
was ten times as great. There are
scores of other instances here.
There are men here on long terms
for using the mails to defraud, who
can neither read nor write. And
there are other polished crooks, who
f1eeced the poor, confessed their
crimes and got off with light sen
fences. That is not justice, and an
indeterminate sentence law would
eliminate these inconsistencies.,'

CONGRESS
Likely
To ACT
Rackers of McF adden Bill Are
to Rush Measure-Little
Concerns Put Up Contest

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
A fight between the little banks
and the big banks is expected to
come before Congress in Deem
Der when again will be brought
forward the McFadden banking
bill and the question of branch
banking.
Treasury officials are split on
the subject of whether or not the
great banks should be permitted
to extend their power to the ter
ritory where in the past banking
facilities have been left mainly to
the smaller institutions, it was
learned today.
Federal Reserve View
Many high officials have opposed
the alleged encroachment Of the
larger financial instructions upon
the small State and national banks,
but some Federal Reserve Board
members are taking the opposite
view.
Statistics available at the Treas
ury disclosed that few large banks
have failed in United States since
the war, but that collapse OF the
smaller banks have been SO FIRE
ouent as to be characterized as a
natinoal disgrace to Americas fl
nancial system.
Both viewpoints have supporters
tn Congress.
Many Senators feel that it is to
the economic benefit of the nation
20 have added protection in all
communities of the powerful banks.
A less conservative element in
sist that q greater extension Of
branch banking simply will give
the great banks a throttle hold on
the country's business.
Backing McFadden Bill
According to opponents of branch
banking the system represents an
effort of the big banks to acquire
q monopoly on banking and to
gobble up all the country banks.
Some officials said, however, that
every period of financial depression
with its consequent bank failures,
Ia followed by an agitation to per-
NIT extension Of the larger banks
facilities.
Comptroller Of the Currency I,
W. Mcintosh, in backing the enact
ment OF the McFaaden Dill as II
passed the house last year, is ex-
pected to tell Congress that branch
banking is opposed to public policy
and in its essence monopolistic.
Essential points of the comp
troller's recommendations are ex.
pected to include:
"a Except under certain condi-
tons national banks shall not be
permitted to engage in branch
banking.
90 State banks shall not be per-
mitted to acquire additional branches
after passage Of Federal legislation
and be eligible for membership in
the Federal resrve system.
An exception was given permit
ting State banks to continue to es-
tablish branches within the limit
of the municipality of the parent
Institution in States where the laws
permit operation of branch banks.
CD If States not having laws per-
uniting branch banking pass such
legislation after enactment of a
prohibitory Federal statue, national
banks shall not have their facilities
extended by the State laws:

The files OF the Navy Department
