ALL FIGHTERS
On CLUB CARD

Five bouts of six rounds each,
without a So-called star name on
the card, but with the statement
that each bout means a real battle,
is the offering for tonight at the
Imperial Valley athletic club
AL of the boys booked to show
their wares are evenly matched
and several of them are known to
DE hard punchers, indicating that
there may be something doing in
the kayo line.
Young David an old valley favor
tie. will be seen in the top spot
against Al Gerhardt, a San Diego
boy who is popular in the coast
city and who has put on several
good bouts there. David has re-
Gently returned from trip TO Ma
Mia and is in good shape for to-
nights fight, his first appearance
in the local ring in nearly two
years.
Alfred Austin and Pete BantiSta
are booked for the semi-final, Ban
tista is one of the hard punchers,
and the dope is that he is likely
to knock out Austin, though the
latter is no slouch and has put on
some good battles here.
Johnny Cavos, former high
school football star, who has a
hefty wallop, will take on Guy Nc
Kinney of San Diego, who also had
kick in his fist. This fight is
not likely to go the limit in the
opinion of those following the box
ing game.
Mariana Cebu, who always could
nit like mule when he fought
here two years ago, will take on
Fred Garlic in the special event.
Cebu can take it as well as give it,
and usually like to take plenty un-
til the other fellow can't send them.

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Perry Mozart (Dem., PaolD will

said.
Minton conferred with the Gov.

William H. Woodin, who will be his
secretary of the treasury, indicated
that he would not issue any state
ment on the subject.
Washington dispatches had re-
ported pressure upon him to make a
reassuring declaration before he is
inaugurated Saturday.
The states in which banks had
been authorized to operate on emer-
gency status before Wednesday night
were Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ar
kansas, West Virginia, and Mary
land.
In several others, legislatures
passed measures permitting Cover
nors and banking officials to restrict
Withdrawals should it become neces-
Sary.
In Indiana, Illinois, and some
other states, some banks operated
under restrictions without formal
authorization of the state govern
ment.
Efforts continued in Michigan to
put into effect the plan of Henry
Ford to take over two big banks and
reorganize them. One of the banks,
it was indicated, might reopen soon
without FordS assistance.

Slashing of Petty Loan Interest Rate
to 2 Per Cent MOnthLy Seems Sure

Petty loan interest rate of not to
exceed 2 per cent monthly appears
assured for Indiana.
With a sharp clash in prospect,
the house of representatives is eX-
pected, by Saturday. to concur in a
senate amendment to a house bill
fixing the ? per cent rate. The
senate adopted the amendment
Wednesday.
On more than one occasion, di-
vergent views of what the interest
rate should be have caused clashes
in both houses with administration
forces favoring the Setup in the
original house bill.
Maximum of 81 per cent is per-
mitted now. A senate bill, slumber-
ing in the house, sets a rate of per
cent.
The house measure prior to the
senate amendment provided the rate
should be 5 x per cent on loans UP
to $3.50 and 2l4 for any amount over
that sum. These rates would pre-

AWAIT VOTE ON CITY
GAS COMPANY BILL
Enabling Act to Bring End

Final vote in the state senate on
house measure to permit the city
of Indianapolis to acquire the Cit

The measure provides that the
city may issue f1fty-year 6 per cent
bonds to pay present stockholders of

property. Bonds are to be retired
from the earnings of the plant after
the city takes it over.
Described as an enabling act, the
bill, if it passes the senate and is
approved by Governor Paul v. Nc

to conclude lengthy negotiations
concerning purchase Of the gas COM

merely to prevent runs" said
the executive.

Of deposits, and Louisiana went fur
Their by ordering a three-day holi-
day for all business.
Executives, announcing the new

extension of restrictions by placing
an unusual strain on banks which
sought to continue business normally

Withdrawals as an aftermath Of the
