 OFFICIALS TELL PUBLIC

 Little Rock, Ark, Nov Y P- Officials of the A. B. Banks X Com pany, Arkansas financial institution, announced today that 30 banks in the state with which the company is affiliated have suspended payments to depositors for a period of five days.
 Eight other affiliated banks ad- vised the A. B. Banks Gs Company they were remaining open.
 The company officials said they had not heard early today from II others in the utilization as to what action they were taking. Follows First Closing
 The decision of the board of di- 1ectors of the American Exchange Trust company of Little Rock, the largest bank in the state. to suspend payments and close for five days re- suited in the temporary closing of the others, the Banks company an- nounced.
 A. B. Banks, president of the American Exchange Trust company, is interested in the other affiliated | banks.
 Arkansas banking laws provide a bank may suspend payments 10 de- positors for five days and reopen at the end of that period or be placed in the hands of the state banking department.
 With the exception Of the Amer ican Exchange Trust company here, the Merchants & Planters Trust Co, i of Pine Bluff, and the Merchants X Planters bank at Helena, those clos l ing are comparatively small institu- i tions.
 J. J. Harrison. vice president ot the A. B. Banks x Company, said
 he expected "at least half" Of the
 banks will reopen.
 The temporary closing of tho ! American Exchange Trust company vas attributed by the directors tc ! public excitement resulting from the 1 placing of Caldwell X. Company, in vestment bankers of Nashville, Tenn. | in receivership November |.

Sergt. Amos Anderson, Famous for Work In Danien, Seriously Hurt
 Suspect: Held By Police, Identified By Officer in Hospital.
Jerome Melville, Facing Charge, Believed to Be Frederick Burke, Want ed in St. Louis for Mur- der of Policeman-Re- fuses to Talk.

Norwalk, Nov. 17 (Pl-Qulck work ,n the part of the NorwGlk police department early today resulted in the capture of Jerome Melville, 35. of lS1 West Tenth street, New York ,ity, suspected of shooting Sergeant Amos Anderson of Darien, after 2hase on the Boston Post road. Mel vile has been identified as one Of .hree men who fled from the scene of the shooting in a car riddled with bullets fired by the famous Hone aolf' as he collapsed to the road way with three shots in his own body.
 Condition Grave
 Anderson's condition was report ed as grave at the Stamford hos pital He is so weakened by the loss of blood that surgeons refuse to op- crate to remove two bullets remain ng in his groin and thigh.
 At 1 a. m. this morning Anderson signalled for a speeding machine to halt on the post road and when the ariver refused to heed his signal. he commandeered a car driven by Cliff ford Alexander, 1S-year- old Darien taxi driver. Overtaking the runaway New York machine, Anderson alight ad from his car as a man, believed 10 be Melville, stepped from the other machine. Anderson, with gun drawn, faced him and demanded the registration of the automobile. With lightning rapidity the New Yorker pulled a gun from his hip and fired point blank at the officer.
 The man jumped into the auto mobile as Anderson collapsed. The brave officer, who has won national fame for his exploits along the post road, emptied his gun ct the fleeing machine.
 Officer Identifies Man
 Alexander identified Melville in The Norwalk police station. The car, found in Norwalk is registered ln the name of William Dolan, of Brooklyn and is thought to have been stolen.
 Detective Lieutenant Martin Longyel of the Norwalk department, ir comparing finger prints and pie tures de fares that Melville bears a striking resemblance Frederick Burke, wanted in St Louis for the murder of a policeman and one Of the most notorious bandits of the middle west. He pointed out that when first questioned he said that he vas married and that his wife's name is Conley. One of Burke's many aliases is Bob Conley.
 Car in Norwalk Garage
 The Norwalk Hour today definite ly learned that the automobile used by the trio of New Workers was in a local garage from 6 to o clock last night. When the police brought this car, a big sedan, to the garage

N0RTHEND SCHOOL
 REPAIRS OPPOSED
Parents and Teachers Head DiS-
 likes Mayor QuigIey's Plan
ASKS POINTED QUESTIONS
Francis \. Clark In Lengthy state ment, Declares More Room Is Needed and Modern Facilities Re quired for Education Purposes.

Needed and Modern Facilities Re
 q,lired for Education Purposes.
 Arguments against Mayor George A. Quigley's plan to repair the old Northend school building rather than construct a new S20O,0o0 building were offered by President Francis A. Clark, president of the school Parents &, Teachers associ- ation. in q statement given to the Herald today.
 Mr. Clark went into detail on the many alleged unsatisfactory condl- tions in the present structure and asked what stretch of the imagi- nation so yisualzcs a repair opera ton that would provide room for q gymnasium. In another part of his statement he asked how it would be possible to repair a building of eight rooms so that it would include 10 large rooms. He said the conten- present building was not largl enough rather than the fact that Ii requires repairs.
 His statement, in full. follows:
 Mayor Quigley has suggested that no new school be built at this time and that he would rather have the Northend school building re- paired. But why repair the build ing which even the Parents X. Teachers association will admit is in good condition. No one contends that the building, as a building is not sound and weathertight
 The contention of the parents is that the building is inadequate and that it simply is not large enough. No amount of repairing can enlargg it.
 Sanitary conditions are not as they should be and the structure ot the old building is such that mod ern sanitary accommodations can not be installed where they shoul ] be al any figure.
 Fire Hazard Serious
 "The fire hazard incidental to this old oil soaked, dried out wooden structure cannot be mitigated to any worthwhile extent by any req gouahle renovation scheme. To re- move the floor joists, 10 tear out hazardous wooden staircases and replace them with fire resisting ma terial will prove very expensive. The erection of fire escape cer- tainly will be costly when considcra- ton is given from the point of view of early scrapping. Furthermore, z

Boy Scouts

A Little Picture of Boys Time.
Consider these startling figures,
which you may check yourself with
only slight variation.
The Scout age boy sleeps $3.50
hours a year.
He goes to school 1000 hours a
year.
He eats $50 hours year,
He has 1850 hours left every
year for his interests and activ-
tiles.
1t is this amazing block of time
which demands a program and es-
sentially the selection of this pro-
gram is up to the parent.
1t is because the Scout Program
has helped and is now being sue
cessful in helping a million homes
solve this problem of leisure hours
and worthwhile interest for boys
that it is now accepted as the
great national citizenship and char
acter building activity program for
boys.
Is YOUR boy having it's bene-
fits?
Tomorrow he will be grown with
the opportunity gone forever.
Consider today, briefly, just what
Scouting is and does.

Whale Not 4 Fish

One of the commonest popular
errors of zoology Is the notion that
the whale Is some sort of fish. 1t
is not; 1t is mammal which went
to sea. The whale Is warm-blood-
ed, has a well-developed brain, and
In all other respects shows a far
higher organization than any of
the fishes. It's young are born
alive, and are sucked and cared
for by the mother as with land
mammals.
