quired $25O,O0O already subscribed,

There have been more than
$500 subscriptions to date, Hoo
yer, also a vice president Of tho
bank, said. The doors of the
institution are kept open every
night to receive stock pledges.
In the meantime efforts are
also being made by stockholders
and depositors of other banks
which failed to open at the close
of the banking holiday, tying
up approximately $4,000, 900, to
learn as quickly as possible the
fate of the institutions.
Walter ]. Cummings. executive
assistant to the Secretary of the

ports on these banks, to de.
termine when and under what
conditions the institutions may
again function.

net sessions on proposed economic
reforms and social measures.

\. .Y,DRYS BEGIN
REPEAL WAR

ALBANY, April 18 d.N.SJ.
New York State drys today
launched an attack on the con-
stitutionality of the law providing
for a convention to be held in
Albany, June q. to ratify appeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The foes of repeal are seeking
to restrain Secretary of State Ed
ward j. Flynn from accepting pc
titions designating convention del
egates to be elected May %.
Alfred E. Isaac, the complain
ant. charged the repeal conven-
ton, provided for in the bill en-
acted by the last legislature,
would cost the taxpayers Of the
State $1,000,000.
The drys claim the repeal con-
vention violates Article 5 of
the Federal Constitution in that
it provides "for a referendum
and not a convention" They also
claim the election of $50 dele
gates at large is invalid.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Ed
ward P. Mulrooney, chairman of
the State beer control board,
announced that only breweries
with State permits would be al
lowed to operate in the State
after June !.

explanation. This sounds better, until
we consider that there is no great differ

that of Toronto. Why, in the matter of

The criminal law in England and
Canada is not cruel; gallows do not deco
rate the street corners. But there is both
swiftness and fair degree of certainty
that something or other unpleasant will
happen to the wiliful murderer They
like to hang women no more than we do,
but fancy that had Mrs Pollak chosen
Canada rather than Illinois for her pistol
practice she would have been detained
for at least few years in some place less
merry than the State Congress Theater.
1t is matter of betting odds. The
potential murderer in England can
reckon about 20 chances in hundred
that he will hang if he kills his victim.
With us the odds are so long against his
execution that it seems good policy to
take a chance. In 1890 there were more
than $50 killings in New York City, and
not one execution of any one from the
city.

THE NEW BONUS MARCH

TTNHOSE who remember the events Of Black
L Thursday last July will rejoice in the
Roosevelt administrators plans for receiving
the 1888 bonus marchers in Washington.
The White House today is no more snypa-
thetic than was Mr.. Hoover to cash bonus de-
mands. But this administration is more SYM
pathetic with the plight of these ragged le-
gions. And it recognizes the right of all citi-
zens to petition their government without being
driven from their capital before the torches
and tanks of soldiers
In contrast to the hysteria and brutality
OF the government last summer President
Roosevelt's way is fortnight and orderly The
White House has agreed to plans of the march,
ers for a five day convention, beginning Sat-
urday.
The veterans will be represented by dele
gates twenty for each congressional district
The government will feed and house those who
have no food or shelter and give free trans
miles from Washington.
The response to such decent treatment al
ready is apparent, The veterans have prom
ised to return to their homes after their con-
vention and after they have made their de-
mands.
OF course these plans can be upset by fool
ish acts of police underlings, provocateurs or
trouble-makers. They probably will NOT be
The New Deal seems to embrace the principles
OF that old deal, as dealt in the Bill of Rights,

of the CosSackS.

PASSAGES BOY HEROES

THOSE six orphan boys of Passaic, N. j.,
- whose presence of mind saved an Erie
railroad train from a disastrous wreck, seem
to be getting about all the honors that any
six youngsters well could handle
Both the city of Passaic and the Erie rail-
road invited them to go to the circus A citi-
zens' committee has been formed to take them
to ball game Medals are to be awarded and
trust fund to educate the boys is being sub
scribed.
New York banker has presented them
with new baseball gloves. And last, but never
least, Babe Ruth himself telegraphed his con-
gratulations and asked them to be his guests
when the Yankees next play in New York.
So far, so good. But one wonders Just
what all this sort of thing does to youngsters
like these, in the long run. Does it make them
pulled up with pride? Do they get cocky and
self-assertive?
Or do they have the balance to take it in
their stride? The private thoughts of boy
hero would be worth examining, if there were
any way of looking at them.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY

CENATOR HAMILTON F. KEAN of New
- Jersey objects to the provision in the
pending federal securities bill which would
require directors of companies to sign state
ments concerning the affairs of their corpora
tons and which would make them civilly
liable for losses by stockholders.
Nobody, the senator argued, would want
to be director if he were apt to lose his shirt
because some company about whose inner at
fairs he knew very little should go into a
tailspin.
That may be true: and the result might
well be that directors would be extremely care
ful to know just what their companies were
doing, which would be very fine thing indeed.
We have had enough of dummy directors
IN the last few years. if the new law would
induce directors really to direct we should
all be better off

THE WOUNDED

NTHEN the President presented his farm
= relief bill to congress, he pleased the
country and shocked the conventional poll
ticians by admitting that it was an expert
ment which might not work AT that time
there was much praise of Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
freshing sense of realities He realized the
difference between leader and a stuffed
shirt dogmatist.
Now there has been another test of the
Roosevelt type of leadership. His aids started
to make and enforce regulations under the
economy law which were cruelty unjust to
veterans disabled in the war.
This provoked protest not only from the
injured veterans but also from newspapers
and organizations which had supported the
general veterans cut. on the understanding
that those with service-connected disabilities
would continue to receive adequate care.
When this protest reached the White
House, a strange thing happened. Instead of
the usual bureaucratic attitude and the
President-can- do-no-wrong sort of CUFF, the
White House quickly admitted the injustice
and proceeded to try to correct the error.
A smaller politician never would have con-
1eSSe0 the pIu4IueI' anu Il AAla44y 4OICeu " uo
so he would have been Inundated by loss Of
face President Roosevelt is big enough to
take the other course. He also is intelligent
enough to know that by such honesty he in
creases public confidence in his leadership.
In this particular case, it is essential that
the President keep an eye on future admin
istration of veterans relief. There must be
M further sims in the care of men suffering
from actual war injuries.
