the boards OF these New York
banks; Guaranty Trust, New York
Trust, City bank. Farmers Trust,
an affiliate of the National City.
Morgan partners serve also on
the boards of nine large Philadel-

Favored With Morgan Money
In addition to letting bank Of
ficials in on the inside stock buy
ing, law firms employed as advisors
to banks also were favored. In this
category were lawyers Of the Guar

OF the many banks which we're
favored with Morgan deposits these
are a few:
Grace National of New York and
the Irving Trust.
Union Trust Company. Mellon

The examples of influence over
insurance company officials already
have been developed. Others are to
come.
Among those who were allowed to
buy Allegheny shares at $50 when
the market was $35 were Frederick

Life, the largest financial institution
in the world, and c. N. Bliss and
Charles D. Hilles, directors Of New

Influence Extends Far
The Morgan influence extends to
the sO-called private bankers. On a

given a chance at the Morgan easy
money were Kuhn, Loeb; Kidder
Peabody, Lee Higginson, J. and w.
Seligman; Bonbright, and Clark,

Denver held his left arm in

That was the earthly end of Bill

BUFFALO, N Y, September 13-The
leader of Buffalos striking grain ele-
vator employees yesterday telegraphed
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, N. r. A. adj
ministrator, asking that he force the
elevator operators to recognize the en-

defying the N R. A. by refusing to
recognize the workers union.
The striking groups belong to the

Elevator Employees Association. They
have decided not to attend arbitration
meetings called by Government repre-
sentatives seeking to settle the strike.
on the ground that there is nothing to
arbitrate. Kavanaugh said there is
nothing to arbitrate. The question of
union recognition Is an open and shut
issue. The law provides the union must
be recognized"
The strike. which has been in prog
ress for several weeks, has tied up about
2,700,000 bushels of grain now here

A LICE IN WONDERLAND" in
Y reality at last! Lewis Car
\ oils whimsical brain child

II oils whimsical brain child
\ was presented to a much
interested and amused audi
ence last night at the Sylvan Theater
as the final festival out-of-door pro-
gram of the year.
The plot found an even match in the
grotesque extravaganza Of the costumes
worn by the cast. What with cards,
queens. March hares, mad matters,
gryphons and white rabbits dashing
hither and yon, the stage was an out
landish sight, putting the widest night
mare to shame. Modelled on the original
Tenniel pictures, these costumes were
easily one of the features Of the
evening.
Nor could a sweeter or more wide
found within the bounds of local talent.
Inquisitiveness, wonderment and child
ish sophistication played across the
countenance of the mimic Alice with a
rapidity and facility that showed a
complete understanding Of her role and
a true ability.
Perhaps the antics of the White Rab-
bit Theodore Tiller, 2d), who gala
wanted with astounding agility, capti-
waited the hearts of the youngsters more
than any other character, but the Mock
Turtle Marvin Beers, with his Sob
bling songs, was a real treat, as was the
bass voice Of M. Forney Reese as the
Duchess. The composition of Alice's
dream was further exploited with merit
by Anne Ives as the Red Chess Queen
and by the White Chess Queen MAUD
Howell Smith, who was as meek and
bizarre as the other was intolerant.
The March Hare, the Mad Halter
and the Dormouse. portrayed by Kent
Dyer, George harrington and Eldred
Wilson. provided many a hilarious mo-
ment with their jokes and cratic &C.
tons at the dining table. The monde
script Gryphon, enacted by Paul Wal
ter, was another Joy for the eye and
the ear.
Maurice Jarvis and Lisa Gardiner as
the King and Queen Of Hearts made
an ideal couple. Humpty Dumpty and
the Frog Footman, both impersonated
by Chester Ring, gave added enjoy

BURNING UP MONEY
by r. A. ADAMS
(for the Literary Service Bureau)

A Chinaman hid a thousand dollars
in currency in a stove. Excited by an
attempt at robbery. he lighted the
paper and burned the money; then
he went crazy. He was to be pitied
for such misfortune. But people,
thousands Of them, burn up money in
many other ways. Unnecessary rid
mig in automobiles is one of the most
common ways. But l am thinking of
tobacco-of smoking-a foolish and
wasteful habit.
A young man of thirty has a wife
and children. His income has never
been sufficient for the support of his
family. They live with his wife's par
ents who must share with them.
These children are to be educated, and
that will cost. But, this young fellow
is an inveterate smoker. He will light
and smoke cigarette after cigarette
burning up the money which is need
ed for his family.
Here is another phase of it. Since
the wife'S parents are compelled tc
share with them, this young man is
not only burning up money which his
family needs, zbut he is burning ur
money these parents need to be saving
for their old age. This man is one Of
many thousands of his kind. And un
der such circumstances it is little less
than a crime to waste money in this
foolish way.
