Perfecting of new Federal Re

at the Treasury yesterday.

OF the day.
Secretary Mellon and other
members OF the Reserve Board
Joined the group late in the after

ported under discussion. No an
nouncement was made, however,

was forthcoming from those who
attended.

A. Young's answer to all in
Quiries.
George L. Harrison, governor
of the New York Reserve Bank,
who has been the systems rep
reSentative in immediate touch
with the market crash and at
tendant credit readjustments, was
present as a member Of the open
market committee.
Besides Harrison, the governors
Of four other Federal Reserve dis
trictS attended today'S meeting.
They were: w. p. @. Harding, OF
Boston; George w. Norris, OF
Philadelphia; E. r. Fancher, Of
Cleveland, and j. B. McDougal'
Of Chicago.
Out of yesterdays meeting, and
one Of the Federal Advisory Coun-
Gil set for next Tuesday, are ex-
pected to come many Of the prin-
ciples which will guide Reserve
policy In the near future.
1t is known that this will aim
at making credit for business
more abundant and cheaper. A
start has been made by reducing
the New York rediscount rate and
buying considerable quantities Of
Government securities through
the open market committee.
Both actions were to some ex
tent makeShift, however, being
framed to meet situations as
they arose. AS market nquida-

trend Of the immediate future
in other lines is indicated, the
Reserve authorities must decide
how. far credit shall ebe eaSed. by
continued buying OF securities
and whether it Is desirable to
effect 4 general reduction Of re-
discount rates below the now
uniform per cent level.
Although the break in stocks

lieved to have been suffocated by
poisonous chemicals. Some Of the

patients, doctors and nurses were
taken off the roof.

horribly. Others were unconscious
Many were crying out In fright and
bewilderment. They were rushed as

Scores OF bodies were brought out
Of the building with firemen not
