.BAPT|STS MAY
CONVENE HERE.

Rev Carl C. Harwood, pastor Oh
the Baptist church in FL Centro'
who is at present in attendance aO
the Baptist convention IN BAKERS
field has telegraphed that there is
a possibility that this church group
will hold their 1894 convention III
Ell Centre, or if not in 1884, the
1885 convention is pretty well as
sured for Ell Centre.
This matter was discussed with
Rev. Harwood before his departure
by Robert Hays, manager OF the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce and
M. Q. Simms, president of the tour
ist and convention bureau of I'M
perial Valley, and the chamber had
supplied Rev. Harwood with litera-
ture and lapel buttons to use IN
urging that Impreial Valley be
designated as the meeting place OF
the Baptist convention either IN
1884 or 1895.
If this group comes to Ell Centro
it will bring about 600 persons to
the community for several days
and will mean much in the way of
publicity as we'll as in financial re-
turns to the business people. The
tourist and convention bureau, re-
Gently organized, has Immediately
taken steps to bring conventions to
Imperial Valley and, in addition
to the Baptist convention, expects
the reserve officers of California to
meet in El Centro in 1885,
To assist Rev. Harwood in his eff
forts to have Ell Centre designated
as meeting place of the Baptist
convention w. A. Tondro, president
of the Ell Centro chamber and John
r. Rice, mayor Of Ell Centro, have
sent kilograms inviting the group
to this city and promising suitable
accommodations and agreeable en-
tertainment if El Centro is decided
upon as a meeting place.

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

Here we are with the frost gone
from the bows, filled with an emo
tional surge toward spring matri-
mony. If you still have grand
mothers IS trunk in the attic, saved
from the days of covered wagons
and non-heated houses, thatH be
just the ticket for choosing to-
day s bridal trousseau.
Starting from scratch, the trav-
cling nightgown may be Of cotton
and should be long-sleeved and
high-necked. The lines are the
same as grandmother when in
the dead of night, she had to whip
up the horses and flee with the
pioneers from the whooping In
dians. Nightgowns for other &C.
casions, should follow dress lines,
Victorian that is, and should be
foolishly ruffled, cap sleeved, pin
tucked, and of satin or diaphanous
silk materials.

TWO CLUBS TO
CONDUCT JOINT
INSTALLATION

In answer to a number of ques-
tons received by Mrs. Roy Edgar,
Ten Thousand club president, con-
cerning the annual meeting to be
held with that of the Junior Ten
Thousand club on Wednesday, May
II, Mrs. Edgar states that the meet
ing is for club members only.
Since it is the last meeting of
the year and since installing of
club officers and other items of
club business viii be considered, it
has been considered wiser not to
invite the families of members.
A delicious dinner is to be served
at $50 o'clock and an entertaining
program for the amusement of
members has been arranged. Dur
ing the evening joint installation
ceremony for officers Of the two
clubs will be held.
Ten Thousand club members are
asked to make their reservations
with Mrs. D. B. Roberts or Mrs.
David L. Goodrich while those OF
the junior club should make theirs
with Miss Lillian Holiday.

Chest Side Lights
Undertaken Contributes IL
Ambulance Rides and
Complete Funeral.

A local undertaking establishment is
credited with making the most novel
contribution In the history Of Com
munity Chest campaigns.
Joseph d. kaufman, leader of the
metropolitan unit, announced yesterday
that this fnortician, name not divulged,
had offered. in lieu of cash, IL afl1bu-
lance rides and one complete funeral.
Miss Mildred Merrick reported that
she called upon one woman who gave
her s1.34 In pennies. This woman stated
that her income was very small. Early
In the Summer she decided to save a
penny a day so that she might be a
contributor to the Community Chest.
Ekippy King is q doc, but never
theless, his mistress felt that he should
do his .bit' for the Community Chest.
Therefore. she signed a check for him
to the amount of cent a day or 1855
for the year.
Mrs. Raymond Shepler Of the Central
Application Bureau was rather fabber-
gasted when a young lad who had ap-
pealed to her for aid and was given
food. shelf and clothing handed her
big badge He said:
Lady, that badge is worth $500. a
construction company for which / was
working owes me one days pay, and
that badge will verify their debt TO me.
Because you have been so nice 70 me,
I want you 10 take the money and neip
others through the Community Chest.
Two agencies Of the Community Chest
reported 100 per cent pledge. They
were the Jewish Foster Home With
seven pledges totaling S15l and the
Juanita K. Nye Council House With
three pledges of $40.
Mrs. Charles A. Goldsmith convinced
a friend that If she gave up one SOFT
drink day she would be able to con-
tribute Sl825 to the Chest. The friend
gladly agreed to do this and went home
and induced her husband to give up one
cigar day and he contributed an ad-
ditional amount Of $3.50.
Although the mistress of one house
refused to make any contribution to the
Chest three servants gave total OF
500.
One worker reported that contrib
utor who had given $500 last Saturday
called today to say that he had decided
to add another hundred to that amount.
The workers were called to lunch by
the whang of ships bell, loaned to
the Chest from boat of the Sea Scouts
The ringer was Robert Myers, an assist
ant Boy Scout executive.
Political creeds were forgotten when
Frank ]. Hogan, chairman of the Com
munity Chest Campaign, called upon
Edward r. Colladay, national Repub-
lican committeeman of Washington and
Joseph p. Tumulty, one Of Washington's
outstanding Democrats, to stand and
shake hands for the good win of the
Community Chest.

D. c. BANK ASSETS
/. LIQUIDATION AIDED
Home Loan Bonds to Replace
$4,178,911 in Mortgages
Heretofore Frozen.

The Federal Home Owners Loan
Corporation, after survey of home
mortgages held in the frozen assets of
II Washington banks which have joined
in merger reorganization plans, or are
still In control of conservators or re-
ceivers, announced today that it Is
ready to take over tctai OF 81 17B. .g1T
of this paper. SO that that sum may
be paid Immediately to the depositors
In dividends.
The announcement followed the rev.
elation early this week by John H
Fahey, chairman of the Home Loan
Bank Board, that his organization was
ready to assist in liquidation of. closed
banks throughout the Nation.
The Home Owners Loan Corporation
will substitute its own bonds for the
mortgages. Arrangements have been
made under which the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation will accept the
bonds on a basis of 80 per cent. This
money in turn may be paid out di-
rectly to the depositors by the receivers
or liquidators of the closed banks. The
corporation made no estimate of the
number of persons to be affected.
Mr.. Fahey explained earlier this week
that the bank board and corporation
are taking this action in an effort to
speed solution of the problem of re-
opening closed banks throughout the
country For some weeks agents OF the
corporation have been in the field
checking home mortgages held by
banks. No effort has been made, be-
cause of restrictions made by the law,
to take care of mortgages held on farm
properties or business properties. Only
mortgages on homes can be taken over
by the Home Owners Loan Corporation

.SOV|ET-AMER|CAN
ACCORD FORECAST
Statement on Resuming Nor.
NAL Relations Expected
From White House Soon.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The conversations between President
Roosevelt and Maxim Litvinoff, the
Soviet commissar of foreign affairs, are
reported to have made sufficient prog
ress to enable an early announcement
that the main problems between the
two countries having been satisfactorily
settled, normal relations between the
United States and Russia will be re-
sumed.
Whether this announcement viii be
made tomorrow by the President before
his departure to Warm Springs or early
next week is not known yet.
Debts Prove Problem.
The main problem which has slowed
down the pourparlers was the question
OF the handing of the Russian debts to
the United States.
The state Department demanded
that the Kerensky and czarist debts
should be Jumped together with the
claims OF the American citizens whose
property was confiscated by the Soviet
government in 1918 and 1919
The proposal set forth by the State
DSPaA AtAliCAAb hdo bAldt INuSSld TCCOSIllZc
these debts. This done, an American
corporation, under Government super
vision, should be set up to deal with
the purchases the Russian govern
ment intended to make in this coun-
try. A percentage, to be agreed upon
by both governments, should be added
to the purchasing price of the goods
the Russians are to buy in this coun-
try, and in this manner sinking
fund to indemnify the American claims
should be formed.
Russians Register Objections.
The Russians are reported to have
baked at this proposal. They were in
agreement that some OF the claims of
those whose property was confiscated
compensated by the addition of a GER
tain percentage to the actual purchos-
ing price, but did not want to mix the
governmental debts with the private
claims
The former, they said, formed a sep
arate unit which has to be settled taking
into consideration the. international
situation
The Soviets have signed with most of
their former creditor countries most
favored nation agreements. If they
were to discriminate In favor Of the
American Government on the matter
of their public debts. they would be
forced to offer a similar treatment to
the other nations. But. while the Rus
sian debt to the United States is insig-
nificant, the pre-revolutionary govern
ment had borrowed billions of dollars
from France and Great Britain. Both
these countries have In fact written of
that debt Should the Soviet govern
ment, however. recognize the pre-revo-
lutionary debts to the United States,
France and Great Britain would un-
doubtedly endeavor to reopen their own
debt question.
Unexpected Difficulty.
This was the situation on Sunday
night. Litvinoff. who saw President
Roosevelt on that matter was puzzled
as he did not expect this dificulty.
He hoped to obtain recognition on the

SUSTA|NS CHARGE
OF GOLD BOARDING
Judge Upholds Indictment of
F. B. Campbell, Accused
of Having S2O0,574.

NEW YORK, November 16.-Federal
Judge John M Woolsey today sustained
an indictment charging Frederick Bar
Der Campbell, lawyer and capitalist
with failure to report the possession OF
27 bars Of gold valued at $500, ,574.34, in
obedience to a presidential order.
Judge W'oolsey sustained both an orig
inal indictment and the first count OF
a superceding indictment, which related
only to failure to report possession.
As to the charge that Campbell failed
to turn in the gold, however, Judge
Woolsey sustained a demurrer. The
court noted that the act of Congress of
March 9 gives the Secretary of the
Treasury not the President. the right to
order that gold be turned over to the
Government.
Dismisses Equity Suit.
Judge woolsey dismissed the equity
action brought by Campbell to restrain
United States Attorney George z. Me-
dale from prosecuting Campbell GRIM
inally. and stated the matter was one
for thc Criminal Courts. where an ade-
quate remedy for any abuses in prose-
cution was provided.
The court also dismissed Campbell's
suit to restrain the Chase National
Bank, custodian of the 81 bars of gold,
from delivering the gold to any person
or organization other than its owner.
The court noted that this action was one
to be brought In the Supreme Court of
the State.
Medalie said he had notified the De-
partment of Justice in Washington of
the decision
Judge Woolsey's decision is against
the Government only on one point"
