NEW YORK, Feb. 16. - ANY
lingering doubt that exists as to
the means of the disposal Of the
federal reserve board to curtail the
excessive use of credit for specula-
tive purposes has been dispelled
with the announcement from the
advisory council that the co-opera-
ton of all banks in the system has
been requested. The advance IN ac-
ceptance rates and the heavy calling
of loans further attests to the meas
ures being used for this purpose.
A reduction of long lines at every
favorable opportunity, we believe is
the wisest plan until such time as
abnormal credit conditions disap-
pear.

QUIZ KERSHNER
ON ARM0RIEs
Adiutant- General Again Is
Summoned to Give
Further Details.

Adjutant- General William II.
Kershner again was summoned to
appear before the senate arnory
probe committee today and gave
further details of the financing and
construction of armories during the
last four years under the CLOSED
corporation" plan.
The committee expected to be in
session throughout the day and
called Henry Ostrom, president of
the Ostrom Realty and Construc-
ton Company, as the first witness.
Ostrom accompanied President
Felix T. McWhiy-ter of the Peoples
State bank when he appeared to
testify at a closed healing Of the
committee Friday night.
The Ostrom company has built all
the arrnories under the "closed cor
poration' plan and the McWhirter
bank handled the financing. The
Ostrom company is a subsidiary Of
the bank.
Report Expected Monday
Lack of competition and the re-
quest for $350,000 to further the
armory building program caused
members of the budget committee
to ask investigation by a senate
committee.
The committee report is due Mon
day under the resolution asking. the
probe.
Kershner announced this morning
that he will appear today armed
with deeds OF trust to combat evi-
dence submitted to the committee
by A. G. Mcdaniel, state budget
clerk in the Office of Lawrence Orr,
chief examiner of the board of ac-
counts.
Mcdaniel, according to Orr. lives
at Franklin and gathered data re-
garding the arnory building there.
Kershner listed the Franklin armory
in his report to the probe commit
tee as costing $4,000 to construct.
McDaniel's data shows that 1t will
cost the state $40 000. The latter
figure was based on the arrnory
board rental lease covering a fifteen
year period.
Mcdaniel merely set up a man of
straw, created from the few facts in
his possession" Kershner declared
today. "He never came to my Of
flee to learn If there were any in
strurnents to counteract the lease.
Explains Interest
81 will present the committee with
a trust deed showing that the
fifteen-year period has nothing to
do with the exact time the armory
will become state property. This
deed shows that it will, be turned
over to the state just as soon as
the bonds are paid off,"
The bonds bear Az per cent in
terest and were sold as tax exempt.
Mcdaniel figured that they should
be amortized before the end of the
fourteenth year and the state, un-
der the lease contract, will be pay
ing $7,o0 more than needed to pay
the principal and interest.
According to the adjutant-gen-
erals figures the total interest on
the Franklin ar1nory will be $22,980,
making the total rental cost to the
state $4,000. In this case the bonds
will amortize before the end Of the
f1fteen-year period, Kershner de-
clared.

GUNMEN FIGHT
FOR Freedom!
Two Attorneys Retained to
Seek Liberty for Five
Men Held Here.
BULLETIN


Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter
held the five alleged Chicago gum
men to the county grand jury on
robbery charges this morning, dis
missing vagrancy and carrying
concealed weapon charges. Bonds
were fixed at $4,000. The men
were locked up again. Their at
torneys, Ira MI. Holmes and Henry
Winkler, were expected to start
habeas corpus proceedings, on the
ground that bond is excessive.
Prediction of the five alleged Chi
cago gunmen, held in Jail here, that
plenty Of help and money would
come from Chicago, was fulfilled
partly today, when two Indianap-
oils attorneys appeared at city prison
to begin the fight to obtain their
release.
Although the law won the first
round of the battle, bitter fight
was forecast to spring" from Jail
the men who have undergone an
eighteen hour grilling as to their
possible connection with the seven
man gang massacre at Chicago
Thursday and recent big holdups
here.
The attorneys retained are Henry
Winkler and Ira Holmes, 1ligh-priced
lawyer who appears in most big
criminal cases here.
Appearing at the turkeys office,
they were referred to Detective
Chief Jerry Kinney, who told them
they could not talk to the five pris-
oners at present. The attorney left
without indicating further moves.
Holmes Mum On Case
Holmes refused to discuss how or
why he became engaged in behalf
of the men, whose admission that
they are from Chicago and posses
sion of nine automatic revolvers
more than justif1es the title of gun
men, according to police.
Winkluer told of a mysterious visit
to his home last night of three men.
One came to the door, but refused
to enter, and Winkler conferred
with them in their automobile. They
paid him a part of. his retaine in
the case, Winkler said.
All the men were slated at city
prison following their arrest Fri
day noon on charges of vagrancy
and carrying concealed weapons. AL
are under $4,000 bonds.
One, giving his name as Frank
Myles, Al, also was charged with
robbery. He has been identified as
one Of the bandits who staged a
holdup at the /. Wolf Company
salesroom, 555 North Capitol avene,
two weeks ago tonight, police said.
His recognition Saturday by Ger
aid Maholowitz, Wolf company en-
ploye, at the Hollywood cafe, 430
North Illinos street, led to the ar
rest of the five.
