Centennial May Not
 Have to Close Sundays

Philadelphia, Aug. 12 LR - City Solicitor Joseph P. Gaffney does not believe the sesquicentennial expo sition will have to be closed on Sundays as a result of the ruling of Judge Edwin o. Lewis which indicated that Sunday opening was illegal.
 r Judge Lewis opinion was made public last night m deciding the appeal of E. L. Austin, director general of the exposition, from the s4 fine and s4.50 costs im- posed by a magistrate for alleged violation of the Sunday laws of 1794. The court held that Director Austin merely was an employe of the sesqui and placed responsibility for the Sunday opening upon the board of directors. The conviction was set aside and the fine ordered remitted.
 The court pointed out that high CT courts have recorded rather strong opinions that appear to render unlawful even the opening of the sesquicentennial gates on Sunday, If an admission charge is made"

HAYNES RESIGNS CREDIT BUREAU JOB
Goes to Waterbury-Ha
 Promoted to Manager Here

Captain Harry Haynes, organizer, and up to the present time manager of the New Britain Credit Rating bureau, has resigned his position in this city and has become associated with the Community Bond and Mortgage Go. of Waterbury.
 Captain Haynes. who attained his rank in the British navy, is the son of a British admiral. He sailed for years before the mast on merchant vessels and men-of-war in the Brit ish service. He came to New Brit ain about five years ago with the Beneficial Loan Co. Later he was associated with Joseph M. Chernoff in the Fidelity Finance corporation. When the credit bureau was organ ized he was the prime mover in the preliminary organization work and resigned to take charge.
 Although reluctant to leave his work here, the offer he received from Waterbury was SO much larger than the local organization was able to pay that he was advised by the directors to accept. He inn mediately resigned and his resigna- ton has been accepted.
 Captain Haynes will be succeeded by Albert R. Hauschulz of 241 Wells street. MT. Hauschulz was connected for a long time with the claims department of the Aetna Life Insurace Co. He came to this city to take charge of the credit department for Rackliffe

 Clemenceau's letter asked that the settlement of the French debt should not be treated as com- mercial matter.
 The senator predicted the next 50 years will mark the most se- we're economic war history has ever recorded and declared that in view of this impending struggle there is no just reason for the United States to give up war del { collection.

BORAH BELIEVES
 SENATOR'S DIFFER
Thinks Vote on Court Would Be
 Reversed Now

Nampa. Idaho. Aug. 12 P - In the light of the attitude of debtor nations toward the United States, and by virtue of developments on the function of the world court, the senate if vote was taken today. would reverse its decision and decline to ratify the world court. Senator William F. Borah declared in an address here today. T am glad to say that many of the American people are modifying their position of the world court" he said. The court was the ex- traordinary function of advising and counselling the league of na- tions. Thus the United States as member may be called upon for counsel In any political quarrels in Europe. It is my judgment and I venture it as a prophecy that if we become a member of the world court and by advice and counsel come into participation in the po- litical controversies of Europeans, we thus come face to face with the same old problem of the league of nations. If vote were taken in the senate today. the senate would reverse its decision and decline to ratify the world court"
 Senator Borah, referring to the fight of the league of nations, said that as soon as the league fight was over, the league forces threw their strength behind the world court He pointed out that i've have been drawn into the league of nations in an indirect way, through entrance into the world court" which he described as the agent, counsellor and attorney of the league of nations which is controlled by the four great pow CTS now writing us down as shy locks and userers.'
 Tt is my judgment, and I ven- ture it as a prophecy. that if we become a member of the world court and by advice and counsel come into participation in the po- litical controversy or Europe, we shall come face to face with the same old problems of the league of nations"
 In reviewing the history of for eign debt settlements, Senator Borah after showing that settle- ment ofathe French debt upon the present proposed basis will cancel seven billions of the eleven billion European debt, said 'logic dis closes that the desire of the French

MASS OF PROBLEMS ARE
 WAITING FOR ANDREWS
Head of Prohibition Forces Has Tough Job When He Gets to
 Washington.

Washington, Aug. 12 Pl-A mass of knotted problems-official and personal-awaits the attention of Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief of the prohibition forces, upon his return here from his mission to London.
 First. he will start putting into fighting shape his newly recruited prohibition super-army of about 500 men. Until that is completed, prob ably early in September, he will put aside the big personal problem as to whether he will continue in service.
 Colonel Ned NJ. Green. a personal friend and prohibition administrator for northern California and Nevada, is under suspension as a result of an indictment charging embezzlemcnt of seized liquor. This must be acted upon by the dry chief.
 Comptroller General McCarl has instituted an investigation of the pay given A. Bruce Bielaski, New York, under cover" man, and he is await ing a conference with Mir. Andrews on this. Investigations have devel- oped some irregularities among coast guard forces along rum row, and this probably will go before Andrews.
 The prohibition chief expects to complete reorganization of the serv- ice by early September. All admin istrators have been summoned to Washington for a conference in September.

RECORD ACTIVITY
First Six Months of Present Years Shows Industry to Be Going Along Fine.

Washington, Aug. 12 Pl-Record industrial activity during the first six months of this year, despite a recession in April and May, was re-
 ported today by the federal reserve
 board. It was accompanied by a stationary level of wholesale prices about five per cent below that of a year ago.
 The automobile industry and the production. of iron, steel and build ing material contributed chiefly to the exceptionally large volume Of output this year. The building in- dustry, however, was gradually fall- ing off and was less active in June than year ago. Distribution of the record industrial output to con- sumers was maintained, the board said. and likewise the demand of foreign customers continued. Bank credit also increased to a record volume. The growth of $9Oo,- 900. 900 in loans and investments to federal reserve member banks in- cluded an increase of about $3S3,- 000,0 in loans on securities; S340,-
 000,00 in other loans, largely com
 mercial, and about 70,000, 900 ir
 investments.
