That Multiplicity of Finance
Systems Also Hurts.

George L. Harrison, governor OF the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
told the Senate Banking Investigating
Committee today the "abuse OF the
privileges provided by law" rather than
violations had caused lasge part OF
the 5000 bank failures in the last 10
years.
MIR. Harrison also said the multiple
ity of banking systems in this country
had done as much as any other thlng
to cause some Of our present trouble.
Another factor entering into the STU
ation he said. was the loans banks are
authorized to make on real estate.
Pole First Witness.

BOWS LIFE
BARRED IN TRIAL
Actress Feels She Was Being
Tried Instead Of Her
Former Secretary.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, January 20.---A legal
curtain shielded the private life of Clara
Bow from the public gaze in the trial
of her former secretary, Daisy De Boo,
on grand theft charges today.
Daisy's promised expose of the init
mate affairs OF the film redhead fizzled
quickly yesterday and the Bow-De Doe
audience frankly matched the jurors,
yawn for yawn.
Silenced by Judge.
Clara's ex-secretary was Shushed by
Superior Judge William c. Doran be-
fore she could unlimber a single bomb
shell. the court ruling that the issue
was simply whether Miss De Doe stole
SIS 800 from the actress, and that mud
singing was not in order.
The judge decided Daisy had told
enough. She previously had testified of
the redhead's alleged gifts to boy friends
imprisoned love letters and kilograms
to Clara from various admirers.
Looking wan, but very pleased in her
big canopied bed in the House of Bow,
in Beverly Hills, Daisy's former boss
sighed with satisfaction at the courts
action.
Denies Asking SI25,0OO.
"You'd have thought 1 was the one
being tried, instead of Daisy" said
Clara, tossing her red mop Indignantly.
Why, until I got my cold and broke
down and had to stay home from the
trial 1t was more of trial for me than
for her" Clara had wept on the stand
while testifying against Daisy.
On the stand yesterday, Daisy denied
having attempted to obtain $125,O00
from Clara through the actress attor-
ney on pain of disclosure of things
that would be better not known" about
Miss Bow She said the various articles
which she is charged with having pur-
chased with Clara's money were all
bought with her former employers
