LEEDS, England. July 23.-In the
presence of a distinguished gathering
of medical men. the University of
Leeds today conferred the degree of
doctor of science honoris causa upon
Or. Charles Mayo. noted American
physician of Rochester, MINI.
The conferment took place at the
medical school where Prof. j. K.

cine, presented DR.. Mayo for the honor.
Among those in attendance at the
ceremony were Lord Moynahan, presi-
dent of the Royal College for Surgeons.
Prof. Jameson, in presenting DR..
Mayo, said that but for the fact that
the brothers William and Charles had
never taken leave from duty together,
the honor would have been conferred
five years ago when a similar degree
was conferred upon DR.. William Mayo
by Leeds.
He said that the remarkable work>of
which the University of Leeds was en-
deavoring to record appreciation con-
sisted in the assembly of every kind of
knowledge capable of adding to the
surgeons means of diagnosis and
prognosiS, in improving the technique
of the craft. IN disseminating evidence

which has been one of the greatest

MUSSOLINI HALTS
EMIGRATION TIDE
Fewer italians Leaving and More
Returning Under New
Methods.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME. italy, May 4.-The great
river Of Italian emigration which
poured a flood of new citizens into the
United States, South America and
Southern France in the last two genera
tons is gradually being damned at its
source by the Mussolini government.
Examination of figures just published
shows that not only is the number Of
emigrants from Italy to other countries
steadily diminishing, but also that the
number of emigrants who are returning
to the fatherland to resume citizenship
is increasing.
This effect springs from two causes,
both having their origin in the premier.
MusSolini strongly diScourages emigra-
ton, partly by moral suasion and even
more so by legal measures which forbid
Italians to leave the country without
government permission. Then through
propaganda, he tells Italians abroad
that under changed conditions in their
homeland they can live better and more
happily than when they left it.
In 1918, the year before the World
War, Italian emigration had reached
the amazing figure of 872,598 in one
year, or almost 2 per cent of the total
population. Thus the population of a
great city equal to that of Naples re-
moved itself bodily in one year from
one country and scattered itself among
a number of others.
After the war this outpouring went
on again. In 1920 some 4l6,0O0 Italians
sought homes in other lands. The first
years of Fascism, when it was uncer-
tain what the future of the new regime
would be, the figure remained high
900 in 1928. But from then on
there followed a constant reduction
292 900 for 1925; 100000 for 1926 and
$4,000 for 1927.
This last year It Is believed, the num-
Der fell below zoo, 000-although off1cial
figures have not yet appeared-and
great part of this number is made up
of persons who have emigrated for only
a short time and must return to Italy.
At the same time the number of "re-
patriateS" has become imposingly large.
In 1920 this number was 10000. In
1925 it was 1000, in 1926 $4,000 and
in 1927 171,000.
The difference between the figures
of the emigrants and the repatriates
is what counts. The emigrantS are
still larger in number than the repa-
triates, but this difference is yearly
growing smaller. In 1925 1t was 81 900,
in 1926 $4,000, in 1927 $1,000.
Thus MuSsolini is building up the
population of his elongated country. BY
rigidly prohibiting birth control, by re-
warding parents of large families, by
his own example-he has four children
himself-by diScouraging emigration
and encouraging re-entry into Italy, he
is forcing Italy's population up by leaps
and bounds.

LOCAL STOCK PRICES OF TODAY
COMPARED WITH A YEAR AGO
Movement In Bank Shares Is Less Active.
Railway Commons Erratic Changes
an Important Case.

While Wall Street has enjoyed its full
share of the limelight during the past
wear. with the elimination of the great
est bull market of all times, business
on the washington Stock Exchange has
moved along in slow, dignified man
ner without radical fluctuations and
with only q few important price changes
as compared with the figures current a
year ago.
For several weeks, starting from the
most recent warning of the Federal Re-
serve Board on Wall Streets credit ex-
pansion. our market has shown a
distinct let-up in trading and some re-
cessions in values as local operators in
the speculative market squirmed out
from under the high call money rates.
A comparison of the figures current
on the local exchange Friday and a
year ago in the public utilities group
reflects a 133s-point rise In Washington
Gas shares, a 10-point drop in Capital
Traction and 5 points on Railway pre-
ferred, while the fluctuations in the
common stock of the latter company
have varied from the $500 bid year
ago up to 5000 share and back to
S485, or IS points net gain for the year.
Let-up in Bank Share Interest.
There was decided let-up in the
volume of trading in bank shares. and
the advancing trend of the preceding
year was apparently checked, tempo
rarily at least. Exceptional circum-
stances-namely, the absorption of the
Farmers & Mechanics National Bank
by the Riggs National and the financing
incident thereto-being largely respon-
sible for the advance of so points in
the bid price of Riggs shares.
The trust companies have also held
their own, with National Savings &,
Trust one of the closest held stocks in
the city, scoring a 53-point advance.
In the savings bank list, Security
Savings & Commercial, and United
States Savings were the leaders in max
ing important advances.
There are in some instances wide
differences between the bid and the
asking price Of security, especially on
inactive securities, but where there is
any activity the range is much closer.

GERMANY'S CREDIT
STATUS IN DANGER
Settlement of Preparations
'TangIe Is Vital to Ma
tons Future.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, May 4.-More than q
settlement of the PREPARATIONS debt de-
ponds on Mondays resumption of nego-
tiations in Paris between the German
and allied representatives, with owen
D. Young the head of the American
delegation.
Germany is In a critical financial
condition. She, is at present the sick
member of the European money powers
and will have to have outside assistance
if she is to come through without a
serious disturbance to her credit struc-
ture. The loss of gold within recent
months from the Bank of Germany
holdings has amounted to $1s8, ooo, 900,
which compares with the gain in gold
of $206, 100000 when she was drawing
heavily on London and on this coun-
try last year.
This shrinkage has brought down the
gold cover of the German banks to
a dangerous point. 1t is now suggested
that Germany may be able to obtain a
temporary credit from London and
Paris, with the possibility that the Fed
eral Reserve or group of private
American bankers may be associated
with the English and French institu-
tons in this arrangement.
International bankers here recognize
the critical character of the German
situation, which has been almost as
acute as conditions In France three
years ago. A satisfactory settlement of
the debt question would go long way
toward encouraging bankers in other
countries to give Germany assistance
until she tides herself over the present
emergency.
The market for German bonds, while
heavy the past two weeks, has been I'M
usually calm in the face of possibilities
in the German credit situation that

defendants, including Carroll Bates, a
former Texas ranger and San Angelo
police chief, drew prison sentences to-
DAY OF 80 days to 10 months, with fines
IN some cases, after their conviction
for conspiracy to violate the Federal
prohibition laws.
The Government alleged that Bates

A Most Important Case.


In view of the large number OF bank
mergers that have taken place IN Ille
last few wears. the Fitchburg case, now
before the United States Supreme Court,
is of vital Importance as 1t VIII settle
the right of a merged institution 10 as
sumo the fiduciary function originally
given to one of the banks In the merger.
The Fitchburg Bank & Trust Co. was
merged with the Merchants National
Bank of Worcester, with new corpo-
rate title, the Worcester County Ma
tional Bank & Trust Go.
The McFadden act gave the rlght 10
national banks to act as trustees, etc.,
and to assume trust company functions
when not in contravention of local laws.
The Fitchburg Bank g. Trust Co. was
named as the executor OF Will. IN
time the Worcester County Bank, &C.
cepting the obligation, made report OF
its acts hereunder to the court, but the
court questioned the right to exercise
administrative rights and the MaSSa-
chusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled
that part of the McFadden act, sep
arabic from the act as whole, is I'M
constitutional, and that the bank was
not entitled to render an account"
The case was appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.
In view of the fact that 467 national
banks were merged with or absorbed by
State banks or trust companies to Janu-
airy Is from November. 1928, the case
involved the question of competition be-
tween the Federal Government and the
States for control of the credit machln-
cry of the Nation and that the exigen-
cies of the times demand that the Ma
tional Government retain its present
dominating position in the banking
field"
