Cut in Pay Seen
For Police Units
Under Fund Bill
Would Slash Allowance
of Bicycle and Mounted
Men, Statement Says.

Bicycle and horse mounted members
of the Metropolitan Police Force face
what will constitute substantial re-
duction in pay unless certain main
tenance provisions written into the Dis
trict appropriation bill for 1880 are re-
moved by the Senate, according to a
statement issued yesterday by Sergt.
Milton D. Smith, president of the
Policemen's Association.
Sergt. Smith pointed out that the bill
as passed by the House would cut the
annual allowance to horse mounted
policemen from $3.50 to $3.50 and for
bicycle men from $40 to $50. Police
inspectors who use their private motor
vehicles for official assignments also
would suffer a reduction in maintenance
allowance from $480 to 1912 year, ac-
cording to the statement. Motor cycle
officers, Smith said. apparently are not
affected by the cuts.
Police assigned to horse-mounted
details, the statement explained, must
buy their own mounts, feed them,
keep them shod, stable them and give
them veterinary service when needed.
This cannot be done on $3.50 a year,
the allowance granted by the House,
he declared. Moreover. if the horse
dies, even in line of duty, the officer,
he said. must replace it. Bicycle men
he declared also are required to pur-
chase mad maintain their own mounts,
while the inspectors cannot operate
their cars on less than 81 a day ex-
elusive of depreciation.
THE men on the force have been
looking forward to better working con-
ditions and salaries" Sergt. Smith
said, "but the bill reduces the income
of number of them and is very dis
couraging to the entire force"

RENO, New, January ga decree
Of divorce was awarded today to Mrs.

teed through establishment of trust.

GLASS BILL PLANS
LESS SPECULATION
Another Measure Designed to
Make Federal Reserve At
tractive to Members.
BY the Associated Press.

A bill designed to reduce appreciably
the amount of bank loans available for
STOCK speculationS was introduced yes
terday by Senator Carter Glass, Demo-
cfat OF Virginia, one of the group who
tooK an active part in urging adoption
OF the Federal reserve system. He also
introduced another measure which he
believes would make the reserve system
more attractive to banks,
The effect of the first measure. he
explained, would be to restore the re-
serve against time deposits He said
Inat since the rate on time deposits had
peen reduced to per cent banks had
manipulated their funds SO that money
was transferred from demand accounts
TO time accounts. This, the Senator
declared, increased the amount of
money available for use on the call
market.
Inc other measure would make the
reserve system more attractive by pro-
".ding for an additional dividend to
member banks. The Senator said that
eXlsting law gave member banks per
cent accumulative dividends from the
pronts to Reserve banks. Further, he
said, the present law provides that Re-
serve banks must build up out of their
pronts a surplus equal to 100 per cent
or their capital, and then each year
carry 10 per cent Of their earnings to
their surplus fund.
The Senator explained his measure
: would cut off the 10 per cent require
ment and provide for an additional 2 per
cent dividend to member banks. ANY
surplus after payment of the per cent
dividends would be turned over to the
Treasury as a franchise tax.
1t Is my opinion" the Senator added
that the Government has received an
excessive share of the net earnings of
the Reserve banks as a franchise tax
and a portion of this should go as an
added dividend to the member banks

FRANKFORT, KY, January 26.-
The second effort to convict William
H. Shanks, former State auditor, of
misrepresentation Of funds of the State
to his own use, failed today when the
jury reported it could not agree on a
verdict and was dismissed. A previous
trial on the same charge, last Septem-
Der, also resulted in a mistrial. The
jury today voted eight to four for
acquital.
There are nine additional counts, all
charging misrepresentation of the State
funds, against Shanks. Wade H. Whit
ley, commemorative attorney, said
however, that he did not know yet
whether Shanks would be brought to
trial on these other counts.
