BROKERS' LOANS
MAY Be CURbED;
SENATE is BUSY
Resolution Passed AskinI
Suggestions from Fed.
Reserve Board

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-The
Senate called upon the Federal Re
serve Board to suggest legislation
to check the increase in brokers'
loans from the Reserve funds o!
which it complained last week.
Expressing the view that "littla
good but no harm could come
from this course. Senator Glass 81
Virginia, assailed the Stock Elk
change as gambling institution
menacing the entire commercial
structure"
Senator Heflin introduced the
resolution asking the Board 10 sug.
gest legislation which was adopt
ed without dissenting vote.
Against Tinkerins
Senator Barkley, of Kentucky,
Democratic member of the Banking
Committee, warned against any
tinkering by Congress with the
nations credit system. He ex-
pressed the view no harm was
done in asking the Federal Re
serve Board for its views on legis-
lation but thought nothing more
harmful could be done than for
Congress to undertake to deters
mine what is speculation.
Would Forbid Loans
Senator Brookhart, however, has
urged Congress to prohibit mems
bsrs of the SanKs or the Feeraf
Reserve System issuing any loans
whatever to brokers' and declared
that this situation was a men
ace of our times"
Senator Glass reminded the
Senate the Reserve Board was not
charged by law with supervision
of Stock Exchange activities and
recalled also he was preparing a
bill for Withholding more reserve
funds from speculation.

London. May 28.-lF)-A dispatch
to the Daily Express today from
Plymouth related how Lady Astor
had haranged a crowd OF commun-
lists, who began their listening by
jerring her but ended by laughing
with her and applauding.
Lady Astor. an American born
peercss, was described as holding to
the small end Of her umbrella and
waving 1t at the crowd which had
packed the balconies about the court
yard in which she stood.
$50 you're bunch of bolshies are
you?" She cried. The Express COR
respondent saw one Of the women in
the balconies about to throw a cab
bage at her ladyship. SO he begged her
to desist. Leave this to me-" was
Lady Astor's reply.
A big rough man stepped up and
caught her by the shoulders but he
promptly fled when she turned the
club-like umbrella on him. Striking
a comical attitude then she stalked
too and fro. celebrating her favorite
temperance issue and ending: Don't
believe the darned idiots who come
around to you with fake promises"
The crowd cheered like mad, as she

MOVE TO SUPPRESS
STATE TROLLEY CAR
IS TAKEN Up AGAIN
City Commission Asked for Pc.
tltion Forms to Be Signed
by Fourth Street
RIGHT LAPsED, SAYS YOUNG
City Attorney Repeats Opinion
That Line Has No Fran.
chise and Trespasses

Mickey O'Connor sees the hand
writing on the wall.
Like Belshazzar Of Babylon, who
saw destruction OF his kingdom on the
frescoes of his palace. so Mickey secs
the days of his four wheeled street
car domain are numbered in a move
to rid Bismarck of its one trolley
vehicle.
L. A. Tavis, who has built fine
residence at Sic Fourth street, Is
leading the demand for the suppress
sion of the relic Of rapid transit Of
1895. So bent is he on relegating the
emblem of Toonerville to the scrap
heap that not even the florid coat Of
blue dye that was applied recently
by Mickey O'Connor. its custodian, Is
swerving him in the least from his
plan. Like General Grant, he pro-
poses to move on Mickey's works at
once.
The Tavis strategy is to sign up the
town against The Car. He applied
to the city commission Monday eve
ming for formal petitions to circulate.
Just in what form to couch these was
not clear to the commission. The
city In general can sign for the sup
preston of The Car, but when 1t
comes to paving. that may be some
thing for Fourth street exclusively.
The residents Of the street can petit
ton for the creation Of an improve
ment district. It is likely that two
petitions will be put out, one for each
proposal.
Easy to Suppress Says Young
Talk in the commission developed
doubt as to the procedure to be ap-
piled for the removal Of the tracks
and the discontinuance Of The Car.
Some members thought the matter
required action from the board Of
administration. Others felt that The
Car being creation Of the legisla-
ture, it would require legislative
enactment to end its long and serv-
iceable career. Still others contended
that 1t all depended on Mickey O'Con-
nor. II there was to be an end made
Of The Car. Mickey's consent would
have to be obtained. they said.
The situation is easier. however, In
the opinion Of G. L. Young. city at
torney. When his attention was
called to the matter, today. he re-
called legal opinion he gave June
20, 1925. when the existence Of The
Car wavered in the balance as 1t will
again shortly.
According to the city attorney, The
Car no longer Is operated on any
franchise rights. Those expired In
1923. Since then The Car has been
tolerated and any time the city so
desires 1t can proceed against 1t as
