 Judge Ritchie was turned down because of his attitude toward the Constitution of the United States wherein he said that he did not regard it as crime for anyone to violate the 18th amendment.

On examination he ad mitted that Foster had been guilty of acts that totally un- fitted him for that office, not ably the incident of the Val deg Hotel this with a woman of Ritchie's own official family.

NEW YORK, July 17.-This has

Time money has been firTner all

In fact, the reserve ratio this week IL
