MONEY WAR
SCOFFED AT
BY PREMIER
U. S. Refusal to Agree to
Sterilization Discounted
by Macdonald.
BY HARRY FLORY

Unlteu freSS stan correspondent
LONDON, June 23.-The big ma
tons are not going to engage in
currency struggle, despite refusal
of the United States to consider
immediate sterilization, Prime Min
lister j. Ramsay Macdonald, presi-
dent of the world economic confer
ence, announced today.
He made an important statement
to the international press not long
after informal conference with
Secretary of State Cordell Hull. at
which the foundations for Anglo
American cooperation were be-
lieved to have been laid.
Macdonald declared with the
greatest emphasis that the confer
ence would not adjourn, and that
work would proceed at full speed
He indicated clearly, however, his
belief that the final success of the
conference depends on eventual
sterilization.
MacDonald's statement was re-
garded as showing that the big
powers momentarily have turned
their backs on temporary stabiliza-
ton and established an informal
understanding equivalent to a cur
rency truce without actual stabiliza-
ton, at least for the present.

BANK MAY PAY
IS PER CENT
Little Will Be Left for
Washington Trust Co.
DepOSitorS.

Dividend of Is cents or more
likely less on the dollar deposited in
the defunct Washington Bank and
Trust Company may be expected by
creditors, according to new APP
praiSal of assets.
Oren S. Hack, receiver of the
Washington bank, filed a report in
circuit court Thursday, revealing
that assets of former book value of
81, 1897 ,529.85 have shrunk to a pres
ent day value of $304O84.S2, a de-
crease of IS per cent.
From the remaining assets. the
expenses of receivership admins
tration must be paid, Hack pointed
out, which automatically indicates
that the maximum dividend to de-
positors will be less than Is cents.
Depositors liability of the bank
is $1,213,289.47, according to Hacks
report. The receiver requested the
new appraisal more than six weeks
ago, in a petition to Circuit Judge
Earl R. Cox, with the declaration
that the book value carried at the
time the bank closed was not a
true indication of receivership as
sets.
Appraisers appointed by the court
were Kenneth Woolling and Rollin
W. Spiegel for intangibles, ard
Harry Nicoli and Claude Richie for
real estate.
Accounts receivable, formerly car
ried at $559,05338, show the great
est drop, with a new appraised
value of $15,742.88.

NEW YORK, June 23.-One rat
tlesnake, seven feet long and very
hungry, was loose today somewhere
in the thickly populated Bronx
where wild animal life had been
unknown except for the inmates of
the Bronx zoo and the Gagged canary
birds in tenement house windows.
Policemen walked their beats with
extreme care, delivery boys kept as
close TO the curbstones as possible,
and timid housewives remained in
doors. Snake experts, realizing
that the Bronx covered many a
square mile, said there was nothing
to do but wait until it turned I'D

stopped at municipal airport for
repairs to his plane, while Ell route
to Los Angeles to participate in the

One of the majors first questions
when he arrived at the port was
whether or not he could get some
beer there. Asked what he thought
of the 80 brew. he replied:
It's very good. I like it better
than German beer in this hot
weather, because it is lighter
The visitor was taken to the
