station until after October IA, in which event, the house would con- ,inue three day recesses until later in the fall.
 Under the constitution, one branch of Congress cannot adjourn Tor more than three days without consent of the other body. The period already set aside for three day recesses of the House is the ongest in recent years.
 Unlike the Senate, the House has restricted the organization of com mittees for the special session to those necessary for the considera- ion of legislation recommended by the President. It could not, there fore. begin work on general legis- ation without first setting up some additional committees.
 The administration of the final touches to the tariff bill is the last of the special session work that remains for it to do. Already fl has cleared away the farm bill. the census and reappointment measure The repeal of national origins, the fifth legislative proposal of Prcsi- dent Hoover for the special session was not passed by the Senate.
 Several other Legislative proposals of an emergency nature were passed by the House.

PRIV ATE MONEY OPPOSES BANKERS
 IN CALL LOANS MADE TO BROKERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Bankers who find lending money to brokers a lucrative business have a new source of worry.
 Information on brokers loans is furnished in New York from two sources. The federal reserve bank complies a total of funds advanced to brokers through member banks. The stock exchange complies a to- tai of funds advanced to brokers through private individuals as well as banks.
 The difference between these to- tals on any one day is the amount that is being supplied to the call loan market by private lenders without the aid of banks.
 This figure has passed S1 100000 co and the tendency is upward. The banks have no control over this money, they profit in no way from its use and they are finding them- selves more and more in competi- tion with the individuals who are lending it.
 Early this year the banks were watching the steady growth of

 These loans, representing money handled by the bank for large de- positors and corporations, finally exceed the volume of funds lent in the call market for their own &C., count.
 The banks were obliged to charge the others" for this service and maintained a certain amount of control over the money.
 In the case of private lenders acting by and for themselves, how ever, the banks have no part in the transactions One effect of the increase in private lending to a billion dollars has been to dimin- ish the importance of the official call loan rate"
 Private lenders are under no obli- gation to observe the official rate. For that reason, frequently when the rate goes to 10 per cent or higher, brokers find they can bor- row money outside the call market at cheaper rates.

 A bomb was tossed through the window of the S6,O0o000 club house tearing a hole in the wall of the natatorium.

 The force of the explosion was felt by nearby hotels and homes
 Assistant States Attorney LoeSch was aroused from sleep in his hotel and he joined in the investigation
 Persons who did this bombing advanced to the very door of civic leaders in Chicago. This bombing must be solved" said Loesch.
 The police are Investigating two theories, one that the bombing was done by racketeers, angered by club members parking their cars in vacant lot near the club, and the other that rival taxi concerns became aroused over the clubs policy of allowing only one com- pany to solicit fares.
 The bombers were in an automo- bile and were seen to throw the bomb through the window but the auto outdistanced the witness who pursued the bombers car.
