 More than a score of those injur- cd were given emergency treatment at the Haymarket relief station and the Massa chusetts General hospital and then sent home. Two were held at the relief station for observation. They were:

REDlSC0UNT RATE
 STILL 5 PER CENT
Wall Sted RdisIed After
 Rodau R6dIe Bllk loeG

New York, Feb. IS WeWall Street was relieved today to know the Federal Reserve Bank of New York had left tho rs-discount rate unchanged 1t five per cent.
 During . five-houF meeting of the toard of directors of the bank, brokers kept their offices open and held private wire operators at their keys ready to flash the news to all parts of the countyr.
 At $50 ?. m. yesterday the notice was posted. there is announcement on the rate" which Is the boards way of saying the rate is unchanged.
 No information was forthcoming regarding what took place behind the doors of the directors room. but observers said there were unmistak- able indications that there had been a division of opinion among the members of the board over the ad- visibility of advancing the rate.
 The sharp warning of the federal reserve board last week against the diversion of federal reserve credit into speculative loans was fresh in the minds of operators when the board met.
 During the week there has been a tightening of credit conditions through the sale of government securities and reductions in their holdings of bankers bills. An ad- vance in the re-discount rate was tho strongest remaining weapon in the hands of the Federal Reserve bank.
 Ordinarily the announcement on the rate Is forthcoming shortly after 3:30 p. m. As the hours passed with no sign from the board room the tension increased. Brokers hung over the tickers and newspaper of- fices were deluged with inquiries.
 Among the board members who attended the meeting were Charles F. Mitchell. president Of the National City Bank; George l.. Harrison, gov ernor of the Federal Reserve Bank; Gates W. McGarrah. chairman of the board. and Edwin R. Kenzel. deputy governor.
 None of those present would make any comment or give any reason for the unusual length of the meeting.
 It was said in Wall street that some of the members have been op- posed to such an extreme step as an advance in tho rediscount rate in carrying out the policy of the federal reserve board in Washington regard ing credits.
 Another element which was re- garded as having . bearing on hold ing the rate unchanged was the tn- ternational situation. The advance from four and one-half to five and one half per cent in the discount rate by the Bank of England last week shut off the flow of gold to the United States from London and caused . recovery in sterling ex- change. It was pointed out that an advance in the rate by the federal reserve bank would have offset this.

Japan's Typical Farley Reply
,Kansas City Journal Post)

tkallsaS City JOurnal-POSt)
Japan has made a typical reply to the invitation to
the naval reduction conference in London. It assures
the most honorable inviting nations that 1t is sincerely
fer peace and much against the evils of war and that
naval expenditures should be limited and. Of course, 1t
will have delegates at the conference. thank you very
much!
It Is not committed to any special terms. as yet. But
It will take UP with its honorable ally. Great Britain.
certain preliminarieS and 1t Is optimistic over having an
agreement with such ally prior to the conference in
January.
What these preliminaries arc is left to conjecture. Bu.
that Is not difficult. IN view Of tho firm attitude Japan
took at the Washington conference il the matter Of the
naval bases and Notifications in the Pacific. It is very
much incensed over the elaborate work at Singapore,
which the sensitive Japanese interpret as aimed at Japan,
since It Is the only power with a fleet worthy Of the
lame III the Far East.
This work was suspended during the previous Labor
ministry. and Premier Macdonald Is opposed to it now,
although adequate appropriations for continuing work
were made by the Conservative parliament. Australia
and New Zealand have been very solicitous about push
ing the work. Even Mr.. Macdonald is on record as
denying that the work violates the Washington agree
ment.
Japan is also aversc to applying the capital ship ratio
OF the Washington conference to all classes Of vessels.
It insists on more vessels especially fitted for its needs
IN the part OF the earth 1t dominates or can dominate.
So Japan will be at the conference, either with Great
Britain acceding to its wishes or lined up with France
and Italy to battle for the kind Of naval equipment each
feels that it ought to have. All the expressions of polite
ness on the part Of the Japanese or of the United States
Will not alter this condi ion. Each nation must protect
its own interests II they are to be protected.

Editorial Comment
Multiplicity Of Crime Probes
New York World

Afecr carrying through a notable survey Of surveys.
inc johns HopEin Institute Of Law announces tina. the
United States now has under way approximately 200
investigations into Law, law enforcement. crime repression
and related subjects. Sixty -eight universities arc en-
gagged, 81 foundations, and national, state and municipal
commissions galore. This is striking evidence Of the
painful way IN which the prevalence of crime. the SLOW
ness OF justice and the ineffectiveness of law have i'm
pressed the American people. It Is rs il we realized some
cancer Is eating at the national breast and we're making
desperate efforts to find a cure. Probably no other SUBJ
JectS in American life today are being investigated so
thoroughly and cxpertly.
To Mr.. Hoovers commission on law enforcement, which
rises In Importance above all these bodies. the news that
200 Investigations arc under way ought to carry a spe-
cial warning. The chief danger this commission faces
Is tina. It Will thresh over a lot of straw that is already
being failed and reflailed by others, and in SO doing will
neglect the ono subject which the lesser bodies unani-
mous!y surrender to it-prohibition. The enforcement.
OF other laws and the general Improvement of Justice arr
getting plenty CT study. But the enforcement of prohihi-
ton and the more vital question whether prohibition is
really enforceable or not are for Mr.. Wickersham and his
associates to deal with. They will lose their best oppor-
tunity II they do not make these topics their chief study.

Defense Up-to-D Date

IL Is possible to call for a revision of the nations de.
Tense program as Representative James Of Michigan does.
without coming under suspicion Of being an alarmist or
2 lingo, and common sense IS on the side of the acting
chairman Of the house military committee when he points
out that q program mapped out at a time when military
men deemed 1t an impossibility for airships or planes to
cross the ocean needs to be brought up to date. The
average American has no doubt taken 1t for granted that

tense program to make allowances for them, but to Judge
from the congressman'S remarks that Is not the case.
4 hundred years ago . plan f7r defending the nation
could safely be worked out by war ~strategists and put on
Ice to use when occasion required and 1t would probably
have kept unspoiled for years. There was not much In
1885 that would make l825 war plans out Of date. Com
plans that could be worked out this year would probably
look like antiques. New developments In aviation. war
chemistry. radio. televsion. and . half dozen other fields
are certain to make even the new methods az today oh
solete. To the layman It Is incredible that the nations
military should pursue any other course than to keep
IN touch with such developments and work them into the
defense scheme and that Is probably just what It does,
