SYSTEM Of BARTER
AIDS CLOSED BANKS.
Depositors Give Orders on
Accounts in Trade to
Debtors of Institutions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, May 1e.-Bank-
ers and business men Of this city of
1o4, 900 have found a way to transform
bank closures into stimulus for trade.
They have turned banking accounts
IN three closed institutions with aggre-
gate deposits Of S9000.000 from 2l,000
depositors into a medium of exchange
which the clothier, the butcher or the
grocer accepts in lieu OF cash for goods
purchased by the depositors.
Experiment Success.
And the experiment, its sponsors de-
clare, has increased sales, speeded
liquidation of the closed banks and re-
stored buying power and means of
livelihood to thousands, who received in
trade, dividends ranging from 10 cents
above cash market quotations for their
savings accounts to 100 cents On the
dollar.
j. D. Emmons, liquidating agent for
the American Trust Co., which closed
last year with S4,200,000 on deposit,
said the plan was simple:
Merchants who owe banks money give
depositors 100 cents on the dollar in
trade. They retransfer the accounts
to the banks and have their obligations
set off in like proportion.
Open Banks Favor Plan.
The tenant of a building, whose
landlord is indebted to the closed bank,
accepts accounts, pays his rent with
them and the landlord in turn sets off
his debt. Physicians, dentists and other
professional people are participating.
The closed banks themselves encour-
age the exchange, Emmons said. Four
banking institutions remaining open
view the program as sedative TO con-
fidence and are said to favor 1t.

OLD INDIAN SCOUT
WILL RETIRE MAY 81
Sergt. Bones, Apache Indian, Il
One of Last IL of Once
Famous Force.

After 80 years of service in the Army
of the Great White Father" Sergt
Charles Bones, one of the - survivors
of the once formidable force of Indian
scouts, will be retired on May 81 to
spend the rest of his days on the
Apache reservation in Arizona.
The retirement of Sergt. Bones, q
full-blooded Apache, leaves only "
others in the detachment Of Indian
scouts, all of whom are stationed at
Fort Huachuca, Ariz. There are still
many old-timers in the Army who re-
cell the famous scouts in the heyday
of their service. when they matched
their own Indian wits against Indian
cunning in many of the campaigns that
sprang up spasmcdically during the
early days of the once wild and
woolly' West.
Sergt. Bones enlisted in the Scouts
back in $780, after most of the Indian
disorders had ceased. Since 1918 the
Army has received no further enlist
ments in the indian scouts, and the
body has been maintained as separate
enlisted mems detachment.

FURLOUGH PLANS

COOLIDGE REFUSES
TO OPEN OIL LYMP|AD
Declines Invitation to Take
Place of President at
Los Angeles.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
An invitation for Calvin Coolidge tc
represent President Hoover at the open
ing of the Olympic games in Los
Angeles July 81 has been rejected by
the former Chief Executive.
Shortly after it became known here
that President Hoover had asked Mr.
Coolidge if it would be possible for him
formally to open the games. the former
Presidents secretary said he lis not
going"
He declined to amplify this state
ment, made at Plymouth, VT, or to
answer other questions.
Edward T. Clark, secretary to Cool
idge during his presidency, was White
House visitor yesterday, but he declined
to comment upon his mission. He had
just returned from a visit to his former
chief in Vermont. Il was assumed that
he had taken part in the conversations
looking to the former President taking
the place of the present Chief
Executive. who had previously indicated
governmental business would prevent
his making the trip.
Given Political Significance.
The move to have Coolidge 60 TO
California was regarded in the Capital
as of considerable political significance.
The former President has remained
silent recently upon what part he will
take in the coming campaign, although
he wrote a magazine article some
months ago declaring Mr.. Hoover
should be renominated.
The possibility was also speculated
upon that both Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Speaker Garner, the Democratic
presidential and vice presidential
nominees, might attend the games.
However, it has been customary for
heads of Governments to open the
Olympics, and after Mr. Hoover found
he would be unable to go, it was ex-
planned in one quarter that the former
President would be a logical choice to
represent him.
Accepted Invitation.
Several months ago Mr.. Hoover &C
cepted an invitation to open the Olym-
pic games, when rendered by COM
nittee which presented him with an
elaborate leather-b ound d invitation
Since that time, however, he has told
visitors that the trip appeared i'm
probable because of the length Of the
congressional session, coupled with the
domestic situation
1t had been assumed in political
circles in the Capital that the Presi-
dent might make his speech Of &C.
ceptance on the West Coast after open
ing the games and going to his hcmc
at Palo Alto. where he delivered hi,
acceptance speech in 1928.
His statement of several weeks ago
however, virtually ended this specu-
