TRAYLOR CHECKS
RUN ON HIS BANKS
Plea for Faith Wins at Two
Institutions Plot by
Enemies" Charged.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Melvin A.
Traylor, considered by many Demo-
cratic presidential timber, stemmed an
incipient run on his $25,000,o00 First
National Bank and $10,000,000 First
Union Trust & Savings Bank today
by appearing on the banking floor and
pleading for faith.
Traylor. who is president of Doth
banks-among the three largest in the
city-declared a well-planned plot for
a demonstration against the banks had
been laid by enemies" and said the
banks had taken steps to put them
selves in a more liquid condition than
ever before.
Able to Pay OF, He Says.
Both banking floors were crowded
with customers, a large number of
whom APPARENTLY intended withdrawing
accounts because of fear engendered by
recent closings. Four closingS today,
one in the Loop, brought to SO the
number of banks here that have shut
down this month.
"The bank will be open during the
usual business hours and will be open
Monday morning" Traylor told patrons.
"It will be willing and able to pay of
any depositor who wishes to withdraw
his funds"
Referring to the alleged plot, Tray
lor said:
This was promoted by those who
are not your friends or our friends.
Fortunately, we are in the best posi-
ton in our history. Please tell your
neighbors that we will be open Mon
day morning and every morning at 9
o'clock"
Crowds Disperse Quickly.
The crowds quickly thinned after he
had spoken and within an hour, bank
attaches said, normalcy had been re-
stored.
The Loop bank to close was the
Chicago Bank Of Commerce with S5.-
100000 deposits.
1t had absorbed the Union Bank OF
Chicago last September. Its assets are
understood to cover deposits.
Three other banks in outlying sec
tions closed. two of them in North
Shore suburbS-the First National Bank
of Wilmette and the Northbrook State
Bank The fourth was the South Ash
land National Bank. These three to-
gether had about $l,Oo0,oo0 deposits.

McNary Moves to Prevent
Conference Deadlock From
Killing Bill.
WILL AGAIN ASK SENATE
TO CALL BACK REPORT
Rainey and Byrns, Insisting on Pas
sage, Say Legislative Section
Could Be Voted Separately.

Despite the precarious legislative
situation in which the Federal economy
bill has been caught, the House and
Senate leaders refused last night TO
concede that the measure is on its
death bed.
Quite to the contrary, optimism pre-
walls over the final outcome.
On the House side, Majority Leader
Rainey confidently predicts the measure
will go through Congress before adj
journment.
In the Senate, Assistant Republican
Leader McNary has taken a rare par
liamentary step to prevent the bill from
being killed by deadlock in conference,
where it has been sent as a result OF
sudden revolt against the admitted
lnequities in the compulsory furlough
plan and other provisions.
Insists on Enactment.
"The economy bill has got to &c
through Congress before adjournment,
representative Rainey insisted. II
necessary Congress will remain on the
lob until an agreement is reached II II

Representative Bryns OF Tennessee
chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, shares Rainey's opinion
'It should not be too difficult TASK
for the conferees to agree between
themselves and eliminate some OF the
controversial issues in the report, ne
declared. Its up to Representative
McDufle, chairman of the House con-
ferees, to aid in getting the bill II

Both Rainey and Byrns agreed tha'
in the event Of another impasse ovel

House could divorce the Legislative
section and save that. That sector
contains the appropriations for the up
keep of Congress, so its fate Is dear u

Points to Inconsistency.
Another member of the House ever
went so far as to say he could not un

CHICAGO, June Ex-senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
today spilled the beans" for the
Roosevelt opposition.
His withdrawal from the race
for the Democratic presidential
nomination is the first big breach
in the favorite son wall erected
against the nomination Of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Whether the opposition can
close ranks and make successful
fight against the New York Gov

The Lewis withdrawal was
hailed here as a great boost for
the Roosevelt candidacy.
1t is a staggering blow for the
Roosevelt group.
IS in Illinois Delegation.
The immediate and practical
effect is to turn over to Roosevelt
on the first ballot from 20 to 70
delegate votes from Illinois. The
Illinois delegation numbers So.
The psychological effect of the
Lewis withdrawal is of tremen-
dous value to the Roosevelt candi-
dacy. 1t may lead the way Tor
withdrawal of other favorite sons
It may even bring about such a
swing to Roosevelt as to make his
nomination on the first ballot
assured by more than a two-thlrdS
vote of the convention.
NAV End Two-thirds Rule Fight.
The fight to adopt majority rule OF
nominating candidates In the Demo
ratio National Convention could, under
such circumstances, be abandoned
without fear of Roosevelt's defeat or
long drawn out contest. On the otner
hand, with the game so firmly IN ms
hands, the New York Governor ano

Up to the present time there has been

CHICAGO, June 25.-A brisk
prohibition argument developed
late today among the nine mem
bers of a Resolutions Subcommittee
named to write a tentative party
platform and it adjourned its first
session without taking action on
any of the proposed planks.
Gathering behind closed doors
after the full Platform Committee
concluded hearings, the subcom-
mittee remained in session only
about an hour.
No Final Decision.
There was no final decision on
anything" Hitchcock said as he
emerged from the committee
room.
The majority of the subcom-
mittee were believed to favor a
prohibition plank calling for sub
mission or retention or repeal to
the States.
Favor Brief Platform.
There was almost unanimous senti-
ment for keeping the platform brief,
1000 words or thereabouts being
favored.
1t was agreed to meet tomorrow morn
ing to systematize the committees work
and get going in earnest on the plat
form building.
Some of the committee members felt
a rough draft of the entire party declar-
alton on principles would be completed
by tornoTrow night.
TIE tentative tariff plank, brief as
are all planks in the new Democratic
platform, fayors:
"a competitive tariff for revenue pur-
poses. based on O consideration of all
factors influencing trade between ma
tions. with a fact-finding commission
free from executive interference; re-
ciprocal tariff agreements with other
nations; enforcement of the anti-dump-

national monetary conference for the
aid of silver, and the protection OF in
vestors in foreign bonds by regulated
publicity of all details CT the transac-
tions.
A long, blistering session over prohi-
bition, punctuated by cheers and boo:
for score of wet and dry orators, was
held.
Roosevelt leaders dominated the sub
committee. They were confident OF
beating down all moves to commit the
party to repeal, although several such
proposals were applauded vigorously al

Committee.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home
ADVERTISER EMIT

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough due to a cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. It is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou-
BILE at all to mix and costs but trife.
Into pint bottle, pour 213 ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
a full pint. This saves twO-thirds of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the inflamed
throat membranes. 1t is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly loosens the germ
laden phlegm. This three-fold action
explains why it brings such quick re-
lief even in those severe coughs which
follow cold epidemics.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
The greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
