EAGLES CLASH!
Ladies' Auxiliary i'm Police Court. Urinary Barlow
- and EmbezzIenent =.HffOrney moss Says
charge Cannot Be proven.

A large number of witnesses were
in the Police Court last Tuesday
morning in the case of Mrs. Mable
Barlow, charged with appropriating
to her own use the sum Of S50.O0t
the money of Ladies Auxiliary or
the Eagle Beneficial Club. This
money was collected from the mem
bers and turned over to her to be
deposited in the Commercial Bank
and Trust Company. A death claim
was ordered paid and check writ
ten and it was found that the money
had not been deposited in bank and
the claim could not be paid.
Attorney Charles W. Moss ap-
peared for Mrs. Barlow and made
no denial Of the facts simply stat
ing that the money would be made
good by his client. Attorney Alfred
E Cohen appeared for the Ladies
Auxiliary. The warrant named Ma
m e Hill as witness, although many
others were present. Mr.. Peters OF
the Commercial Bank stated that
the organization had only 1929 to
its credit. The books Of the club
showed ample funds that should
have been on deposit. The case was
continued by Judge Haddon the un-
derstanding being that Mrs. Barlow
would make the deficit good. -.

RECOVERY IN STOCK.
PRICES IS GENERAL.
Market Rallies Briskly in Late
Afternoon as Money
Rates Drop.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

special Dispatch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, February 18.-Opening
irregularly higher and reacting in the
forenoon, today's stock market rallied
sharply in the second half of the ses-
sion. The reversal of the trend in the
afternoon conceded with reduction of
call money from the renewal rate of 8
per cent to 71a per cent and later to Z
per cent This was taken by traders
tc mean that there would be no re-
newal of the stringency that had been
experienced on Friday, when the run
up In money to 10 per cent looked like
drastic enforcement of the Federal Re-
serve anti-speculation warning. To-
days easing in day-to-day loans stinlu-
lated short covering and revived droop-
ing spirits of the bull contingent.
1t was noteworthy, however, that the
volume of trading was abnormally low,
judged by preSent-day standards This
was both when the market was declin-
ing and when it was advancing later on
Up to noon the turnover was 1,410,500
shares, which compares with 1888 400
shares on Friday at the same hour.
The copper stocks were the leaders
Of the afternoon advance. Andes stood
out, touching new high since issue.
Above SO the stock was up more than
5 points from Saturdays close. The
report that Anaconda would make an
offer for the minority holdings was
factor in the advance. Anaconda it
self came back emphatically for a gain
of from 2 to 3 points net.
For the first time in long while U. S.
Steel showed signs of recuperative abil-
ity. 1t sold off easily In the morning,
but was strong in the afternoon, al
though still far below last weeks high.
Doubtless short covering was the most
influential factor, although there are
those who still insist that Steel is to
be split up this Spring before the an
nual offer of stock is made to employees.
Bethlehem Steel was in active demand
late in the day.
The motors moved sympathetically
with the general list. In the morning
Hupp went to a new low for the year,
but rebounded with others of the group.
Chrysler and Packard were prominent
on the buying side. AS has come to be
expected in recent sessions. American
and Foreign Power was the feature
among the utilities. At 121 it was up
Z points on the day.
What has been said of the industrials
applies to the rails. They sagged in
the earlier dealings and hardened after
ward. It was characteristic of the mar
ket of the day that it moved as a
whole in greater degree than ordinarily.
The inference was that it was governed
by its technical position and not BIZ
developments pertaining to individual
stocks.

Wall Street Briefs

The Richfield Oil Co. of California
is planning to expand in the Eastern
market the annual report of Presi-
dent James A. Talbot discloses. No
indication is given of which marketing
concerns Richfield might absorb.
A Nationwide system of credit con-
sumner" institutions organized regionally
along the lines of the Federal Reserve
Banks is expected to be established
soon with the Industrial Finance Cor
poration, the Morris Plan Corporation
of America and the Industrial Accept
ance Corporation as a neucleus. The
banks will make personal loans, write
life and property insurance, sell high
grade securities, discount installment
paper and make other credit accommo-
dations for the small borrower.
An effort will be made to open the
New York Hide & Skin Exchange In
May, month earlier than had been
planed. Three sites in the Wall Street
district are under consideration.

ing Corporation has started installing
cigarette vending machines in depart
ment stores On Nationwide scale.
The company explains that IA per
cent of the cigarettes now produced
are smoked by women. Hence the rea-
son for placing the machines in depart
ment stores.
Nervous over the Federal Reserve
policy against speculative credit, Wall
Street attaches unusual Importance to
the regular executive committee meet
ing of the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York thi; afternoon. Some deci-
sion on the rediScount rate may be
made then, altL ough observers generally
believe an advance improbable. The
executive committee includes the class
A directors, the governor of the bank
and the chairman of the board.
A committee of the National Metal
Exchange has been studying the
feasibility of trading in standard cop
per futures. Only tin futures are now
dealt in on the exchange. but copper

describing it as the most popular Of
metals.
A new $5,00o,000 coal power plant

New Reserve Move Unlikely Now.
The Wall Street Journal, which keeps
very close to the financial pulse OF the
country, says today
illumination. at least temporarily, OF
the move by Federal Reserve officials,
which started with the warning against
SPECULATION February 7. Is seen in the
announcement of action by the Federal
Advisory Council. The Reserve system
has stated its position, and the probable
ity Is that the near future will see only
continued pressure along the line indi-
Gated, namely, by discouraging of specu-
lative loans by member banks. How
much pressure the system will exert Is
prpblematical
Developments might at any time force
Western banks in the system to abolish
the u of / per cent rate di6erential
which now exists between them and the
East, for instance. That possibility has
existed for several months"
Reserve Income Up s21,00O,0o0.
Earnings of the 10 Federal Reserve
banks in 1928 were $64, 053, 900, an in
crease of S21 900 900 over the, year be-
fore, the Reserve Board announced to-
day.
Since there was little change in cur
rent expenses the net earnings Of $751;
14S,000 showed corresponding increase.
These increases were attributed to the
fact that the combined holdings OF bills
and securities were about 80 per cent
larger in 1928, and bore an average
rate of return of 4.24 per cent, as COM
pared with $50 per cent in 1927, owing
to the higher levels of discount and
