Los Angeles. Aug. 20 P-Ten persons connected with the presen- taton of a play called Bad Babies Ut local theater were at liberty under bond today, following their arrest at the final curtain last night They were charged with staging an indecent and lewd exhibition"
 Patrons of the show, who wit messed the rush of detectives from the audience to the stage, applaudel the action, believing it to be a cleV- CT finale.

 Whalen said most of the con- plaints carried only vague allega- tions" and cited one which charged liquor was being sold at drug store because one of our clerks who comes to work at midday is seen to stop there and then comes to his employment feeling very happy"
 Whalen is "Razzed'
 While victory seemed to rest temporarily with Whalen. he receiv- ed what was referred to as rag berries from at least one of the G. 000,000 spectators in the game of Uncle sam vs. Father knickerbock- CT. While Whalen was riding in his automobile yesterday. one Prescott Robinson. who was digging a ditch. looked up from his position below the street level and made a derisive noise.
 Robinson said Whalen's car stop ped, a detective stepped out and took him to police headquarters where he was held 15 minutes and then released
 The ditch-digger explained that he gave the ''raZZberries' to persons frequently as a means of breaking the monotonv of making holes in the earth and then filling them up again.

DEMOCRATS READY
 FOR TARIFF MOVE
Plan to Offer Amendments to
 Senate Bill Next Week

Washington, Aug. 29> LP) - The senate finance committee democrats were ready today to go forward with consideration of amendments to the republican tariff bill in preparation for the long, bitter controversy that will move next Wednesday from the field of public statements to the senate floor.
 They had before them the final craft of the bill which will be pre- sented blythe committee republicans as the product of their swelterin9 work through the summer, re-writ ing the house version. They also had available special studies of var Ious proposals in the measure made for them by experts employed for the purpose.
 The expected advance publication of the committee maiority's report on the bill, however had been post poned until next Tuesday. The dem- ocrats had counted on having this available today or tomorrow for consideration before deciding whether to present a minority re- port.
 Brought into the open in it's final form, the majority bill showed only q few important changes not al- ready disclosed to the public. It inspired, however, a fresh outburst Of criticism from democratic and republican independent opponents of the legislation.

Federal Men and New York Agents
 Play Football With Prohibition
Campbell and Whalen Put Ball Back and Forth and Refuseto Rush Against Line of
 Speakeasy Owners.

New York, Aug. 29.-UP)-The federal government and the New York police department were play ing football with the prohibition is sue today, and it seemed that Fcder- al Administrator Maurice Campbell was in possession of the ball on his own one-yard line.
 The trick in this game apparently was to get rid of the ball. Three days ago Campbell punted the ball over into the police departments territory, but last night Police Con- missioner Whalen kicked the ball right back at Campbell. who. some what beWildercd. grasped it and sought to revise his strategy.
 Prominent among those who were enjoying the game were the 32,OO0 owners of speakeasies in New York
 Campbell kicked off last Monday by mailing batch of prohibition complaints to the police department pointing out that Whalen could prosecute speakeasy owners under the state nuisance act.
 The state prohibition enforcement act in New York has been repealed. and since that time federal officials

have admitted that New York is one of the major problems confronting the enforcement agents. Attempts to prosecute under the Jones law have. in most cases found juries here un- willing to convict.
 Whalen held the ball for three days and then went into a huddle with county prosecutors, city magis- trates, and police officials The police commissioner then called signals for punt formation and the ball went flying back to Campbell accompanied by the following letter:
 If you are unwilling to discharge your sworn obligations to the federal government or wish to make a con- fession of your inability to direct effectively the activities of your de- partment. The admission should be made primarily to your superiors in Washington instead of passing the buck 10 the state law en- forcing officers"

FelIoVships in Universities Are Important, WiIIiamstoVn Hears

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 29 (P)- Fellowships offered by American un- iversities have been vital factors in strengthening Canadian American relations, P. E. Corbett. dean of the law faculty of McGill University, said today before members of the Institute of Politics.
 'Canadians owe an unforgettable debt to universities like Harvard. Yale, Johns Hopkins. Columbia and Chicago" Dean Corbett said. Their generous fellowships have opened the way to. scientific careers to which many Canadians might not otherwise have attained. We look forward to the day when Canadian universities may have the means to offer scholarships to many Ameri- cans and thus knit closer our in tellectual fraternity.

International Banking


 Professor T. E. Gregory of the London School of Economics, discuss ing the relationship between exist ing central banks and the proposed bank of international settlements, said that adequate understanding of that relationship required guard against exaggerated estimates of what central banks can really do toward exercising a control over the money market.
 Fundamentally central bank is a bankers bank performing for the commercial banks all of those functions which a commercial bank performs for it's customers" he said. But there is an important difference between commercial banking and central banking, which must be emphasized.
 "Whilc the former is organized for profit. the central bank has a public duty as the holder of the central gold reserve of the country, and as the issuer of a large portion of the currency. It's duty to protect and maintain the stability of the money market may at times con- flict directly with the profit motive.
 "While it is true that by the use of the discount rate, open market operations, publicity and other methods, the central bank can eX- erciSe a considerable direCtional control over the money market, the extent of this control will be de- pendent upon three factors:
 G-Influence of monetary stan dards and varying types of money markets on the position of the cen tral bank,
 (D-Methods of control which the bank can use, and
 (3)-Presumable relationship be- tween central bank action and the cause of price changes"

gains in real wages during the past jobs, have been wholly offset by the losses of those who have not had jobs.
 He said it could not be known whether wage earners as a whole had a share in the prosperity indicated by daily stock market reports, until present fragmentary and mislead- ing statistics of the unemployed are replaced by comprehensive data" and an important step toward ob taining such data would be taken in the next census of population.
 Would Not Bribe Europe
 Rear Admiral C. l.. Hussey, T.. S.. N. retired, speaking before the limi- tation of armament round-table, said: "There are various fantastic projects for disarmament. One of these is for the United States to use cancellation of war debts as a lever to get Europe to disarm. I cannot conceive of anything that would tend to detract from international morality more than for the United States to bribe people to regulate their means for national security in accordance with American ideals.
 "The political and economic situ- alton in Europe is by no means fa- vorable to general disarment There is political and economic unrest in Africa and in Asa-in the near east and far east, which indicates an in stability of political and social con- ditions that make people reluctant to attempt to adopt substitutes for the means and methods which, how ever, defective they may be, are the only means and methods they know how to use.
 "Economic necessity is eventually going to force a reduction of world armaments as they exist today. The adjusting of policy to economy will continue to bring about natural linn | itation of ornaments"
