whatever the outcome. Missouri
would stand by the ticket. He knew
AL Smith was close to heading that
ticket.
Reed and the group Of southerners
who are comforting here and there
on plans for blocking Smith appar-
emily are in accord on that PROPOSE
ton, but their movements against
Smith are Of different purposes. The
southerners make IL plain that they
are against Smith because he is
Smith. Reed is against Smith be-
cause he is the man he must down to
win the nomination himself. To that
end Reed and the southerners are
sympathetic but there is no coali-
ton.
His steel gray eyes flashed the old
fire Of battle as Reed went over the
situation at a series of conferences
during the night and early today
and he interrupted these discussions
long enough TO tell q throng Of news
papermen that "the only maxim Mis-
souri, knows is to the end of the

word passed along by Reeds friends

sourian was still under consideration
tonight. There are some who are
urging him to 60 personally before
the convention. They want him to
take q place on the Missouri dele
cation and place his plea for a brief
platform, hitting principally at cor
ruption in government before the
convention.
Faced with conflicting reports on
the present status Of the convention
lineup, Reed was smiling and conf
dent today when he met the news
papermen in accordance with an ar
rangement made before his arrival
last night. But he withheld any
opening war cry" pending further
meetings. indicating that tomorrow
he might say something along that
line.

under fire, just so long the Anti

the reelection Of those members OF

TO me, the present election speaks
very strongly the sentiment OF the
people to the effect that they are re-
senting the lax enforcement of this

howls Of the wet minority that the
law cannot be enforced.
We feel that we are on safe
ground when we assure you that the
more loyalty you stand by the 18th
amendment the better pleased will
your constituents be.
Il assure you that it was a great
pleasure to me 70 be able in the re-

their reelection. There will be much
needed legislation in the immediate
future, and we anticipate pleasure in

BERLIN, December 22.--The annual
trade report of the Central Association
of German Banks. appearing on the
same day as the communique over the

German government against accepting
reparations obligations too onerous for

The bankers report asserts that 'in

to give credence to false representations
concerning the German capacity to pay,
and even concerning the possibility of
raising the reparationS burden, which
in its existing measure is unbearable in
the long run.

Trick Cane-SwOrd
Causes Arrest OF
7O-Year-Old Guard
Officer Gets Suspended
Sentence After Awed
Audience Calls Police.

John E. Grady, 70-year -old watch
man of % street, has trick cane
and is proud of it. This in spite Of the
fact that he spent last night in cell
at the first precinct, and was given
suspended sentence Of $50 or 80 days
for carrying concealed weapon by
Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police
Court.
Friday night Grady let his enthu-
siasm-and his pride-get the best Of
him during a discussion ir q cigar store
at Ninth street and New York avenue
The recent increased activities of
hold-up men was the topic of discus
sion. Grady, expressing confidence in
his ability to deal with bandits, startled
the gathering by pressing a hidden
catch on his Silver-headed cane, with
drawing long sword and brandishing
it after the fashion of duelist.
The other men, not quite so confident
in Grady's ability to handle the blade,
called Park Policeman j. L. Law from
the Public Library grounds. Law
thought it a clear case of carrying a
concerted weapon, and booked Grady
on that charge.
Grady told Judge Mattingly friend
had given him the cane about a year
ago. The judge, expressing the belief
that Grady meant no harm, ordered
the suspended sentence, and told the
| defendant that he would try to see he
! got his cane back as a Christmas pres
| ent on condition he leave 1t at home
! IN the future
