GIVEN TO FIRST LADY
Tiny Ire Will Not Be Kept at
White House, but Will Be
Sent to Georgia.

prize-winning English sheep dog, joined
the White House kennels today.
The dog was presented to the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt by Mrs. Louis
Roessler of Great harrington, Mass,

dent was not on hand to take part in
the presentation. but Mrs. Roosevelt
made the acceptance and posed with
the new pet for photographs and motion
pictures.
Major, the large police dog. and
Meggie. the little Scotty, that up until
today comprised the White House ken
nels. were not in evidence during the
ceremonies, some little trouble prior to
their getting acquainted with the new

James O'Hara, president of the dog
show opening at the auditorium to-
morrow
Tiny Ire" will be exhibited at this
show, but not entered in any competi-
ton. The big fellow has already won

no intend to keep the new pet at the
White House, but to shortly have him
shipped to the Presidents estate at
Warm Springs. Ga

Graves Reported
Looted to Obtain
Buried Treasure
Sergt. A. C. York, War
Hero, Declares Tombs of
Two Ancestors Opened.

BY the Associated Press.
JAMESTOWN, Tenn, April 20.-A
legend of buried treasure, nearly q
century old, was recalled yesterday
when Sergt. Alvin c. York. World War
hero reported he had found the tombs
of his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Mrs:
Coonrod Pile, and her daughter opened
and wrecked.
tuesday night Sergt. York, Sheriff
]. M. Peavyhouse and several others
stood guard beside the opened graves
in a cemetery near here, In the belief
grave robbers might return to search
other burial places in the family plot
for a quantity Of silver and "keg OF
gold" which tradition says was buried
BY Coonrod Pile shortly before his
death almost 100 years ago.
The two graves, brick lined and for
merly covered by heavy stone slabs
were found open yesterday. Into the
grave of Mary Pile, Sergt. Yorks an,
cestor, has been thrown bricks and
other debris from the grave Of her
daughter. Mrs. Pile was buried In
1843.
Coonrod Pile was one OF the earliest
settlers in Fentress County, and re-
putedly wealthy. During his last i'll
ness, legend says he told an aged slave,
Aunt Mary" that he would reveal to
her the hiding place Of the gold.
Treasure hunters have dug over most
of the land owned by Pile, but nothing
eve, was found.
One version Of the legend was that
the treasure, or part of it, was buried
in the grave of Mary Pile or that OF
her daughter. Sergt. York expressed
the belief that violation Of the graves
was due to the treasure legend.

the problem.
The first banks to which the gen
eral plan would apply will be mem
beers of the Federal Reserve System
Mr. Cummings explained.
Mr. Cummings attended the general
conference today Of the Federal Re-
serve Board with the IL governors OF
the Federal Reserve Banks. This group
held morning and afternoon sessions.
Secretary Of the Treasury Woodin
Joined the group this morning at IL
O'Clock and was understood later to
have gone to the White House.
Progress is Reported.
The only members of the Federal Re-
serve System among the Is closed
banks here In the hands OF conServators
are the three national banks-the FED
eral American National Bank and Trust
Co., the District Nationa, Bank and the
Franklin National Bank.
Some Of the other 10 may become
members Of the system if they succeed
IN recognizing as national banks. FOR
instance. the Potomac Savings Bank
has underway movement to reorganlze
as the Potomac National Bank and the
Industrial Savings Bank is working on
q plan also to be a national bank. The
group of Is closed banks thus divides
itself into two main groups for the
present, the three national banks which
are members of the Federal Reserve
System and 10 savings banks which are
not as yet members. These 10 occupy
the status of so-called state banks.
= While Cummings reports he has been
making progress. there seems to be no
definite information available at present
as to when any of the closed banks may
be expected to reopen. Cummings not
only has complete information IN hano
showing detailed reports OF the condi-
ton of these banks, but he has con-
ferred personally with several OF the
conservators. He is thus equipped to
weave the local problem OF the closed
banks. with $50, 10000 in deposits tied
np, into the general consideration now
being given to reopening all banks
throughout the country.

MOVE FOR HONEST
DOLLAR RENEWED
GoIdsborough Reintroduces
Bill to Fix Buying Power
Based on 1926 Prices.
By the Associated Press.
ReNreSenfative GOld

By the Associated Press.
Representative Goldsborough, Demo-
crat. of Maryland, today reintroduced
his bill for an honest dollar"-a dol
lar with fixed purchasing power
based on 1926 prices.
In 4 statement, Goldsborough said
his measure would increase immedi-
ately the metallic base upon which
our currency and credit rests by nearly
three billion dollars"
He added that commodity price levels
Of basic products would be boosted by
nearly 100 per cent and that there
would be an immediate market for ex-
portable SURPRISES.
Under the bill, which was passed by
the House last year but not acted on
in the Senate. the standard price for
gold would be fixed at S36.l7 an ounce.
equivalent to q reduction of fine gold
in the dollar from 1922 to about 1927
grains.
A monetary board would be set up
to adjust the price from time to time
to maintain the normal purchasing
power-that is. the average purchasing
power of the dollar for all commodities
during the year 1926.
The honest dollar" would make 1t
easier for foreign debtors to settle their
obligations, Goldsborough said, adding
that he hoped it would meet with the
approval of the administration.
President Roosevelt's action in cut
ting the American dollar loose from
gold, the Maryland Democrat said,
shows the clear concept" the Chief
Executive has that an expansion Of
price levels will open closed banks and
start business wheels turning.
