bered by Granite Marker
I Erected at Muskogee.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. lR.-Moved bv
the story of an Oklahoma Pocahontas,
Muskogee children are saving their pen
MES to erect granite marker to her
memory
Grant Foreman, historian who dis
covered the history of Milly Frances
Hadjo, Creek Indian maiden, told it
to the children at the local public Ii
brary, and for several weeks they would
listen to no other story-hour narrative.
The proposal for Milly's commemora-
tion was largely the development of the
children's own desires, Mrs. Dorothy
Coachman, librarian, said.
In 1877 Capt. Duncan McKrimmon,
on American officer, was captured by
TO tribal custom, was to be killed. Milly
appealed to her father, the chief, to
save his life, but was told his fate was
in the hands of the braves who cap
tured him
Thereupon the girl declared they
could not kill him without taking her
life first, and he was spared.
Afterward, legend relates, the captain
asked Milly to marry him, but she re-
fused, coming to Oklahoma when the
Five Civilized Trizes were moved West.
Many years later she was found. Ill
and in need, by Capt. Ethan Allen
Hitchcock. making an official inSpec-
tion of Five Tribes forts and agencies
for the War Department
AS a result of his efforts she was voted
small pension as well as the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor in 1874. She
died near here several years later.

Japan ANNOUNCES
us. TREATY PLANS
Arbitration Pact Reported
"CrystaIIizing"- Roosevelt
Denies knowledge.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 10-The Japanese
government hopes to establish new peace
pacts with all nations. including the
United States, and at the same time is
considering steps to curb British anti
Japanese commercial policies.
A foreign Office spokesman told the
Associated Press that efforts for a new
Japanese American arbitration treaty
are today hopefully crystallizing" after
it was suggested at the White House
talks last month between President
Roosevelt and Viscount Kukijiro Ishii
He emphatically denied newspaper as
sertions that the prospective better
ment" of Japanese American relations
would in any wise be due to Japan's
desire to strengthen its front in the
British tariff controversies.
The spokesman revealed that Japan
hopes by the proposed peace treaties to
offset "her secession from the League
of Nations"
Negotiations between Holland and
Japan for such an agreement We're first
announced April IA. 1t was said that
this accord would serve as a pattern
for similar treaties with other powers.
President Roosevelt was quoted as say
ing he did not know of any arbitration
treaty understanding between the
United States and Japan. 1t was said
his talks with Viscount Ishii embraced
nearly the whole field of international
relations but included no understand
ing for new arbitration pact.

International Desire for Establishment of
Stable Monetary Conditions.

being forced to operate on basis OF
inconvertible paper currency. Foreign
exchange fluctuated under very wide
limits In the years Immediately fol-
lowing the war the monetary systems
of Germany and a number of other
European countries broke down COM
pletely The reorganization process
lasted about decade. The Brussels
Conference of 1920 recommended re-
turn to gold and the Genoa Conference
of 1922 recommended a wide use of the
gold exchange standard. New monetary
systems were established in some coun-
tries. while in others, such as Great
Britain, where the currency had been
kept under control, there was a stabili-
zation on gold.
The reorganization process had no
more than been completed when the
financial crash of September, 1881,
forced Great Britain to abandon the
gold standard
Withdrawal of short term credits
from London by investors of other
countries followed other repercussions
of the series of events which COM
menced with the collapse of the
Creditanstalt in Austria earlier in 1881.
The demands of British gold reserves
were more than could be met with
Great Britain in abandoning the gold
standard. In the case of some of them,
such as the Scandinavian countries,
commercial relations with Great Britain
were so close that it was desirable that
they should adjust their monetary basis
to that of the pound sterling
Since that time about 35 nations have
officially suspended the gold or gold ex-
change operations with many restric-
tions A few countries, including Ger
many. Holland and Switzerland, remain
on gold. Without much doubt the
United States, with the largest gold re-
serves of any nation, might have re-
manned on gold in spite of attacks on
the dollar abroad. considerations bear
ing on internal price levels being an
important factor in the decision made
by the present administration.
The decision of the Roosevelt admin
istration to seek legislation for the
abandonment of the gold clause in pub
lie and private obligations and to make
all lawful money legal tender in fulfill
ment of obligations does not alter in any
way the purpose to encourage restora-
ton of an international gold standard
BY removing this burden on gold the
problem of maintaining gold standard
is somewhat Sinplified.

MORRISON DOUBTS
/ DOLLARS RETURN
Delegate to Economic Parley
Predicts Price Debacle if
| Parity Was Regained.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 10-The opinion
that there is not the slightest belief
in the United States that the dollar
would be returned to its gold parity was
expressed today in press interview by
Ralph W. Morrison of Texas, member
of the American delegation to the World
Economic Conference.
'If the dollar we're returned to its
old basis there would be the greatest
debacle in prices ever seen," the Amer
acan asserted.
People who are now running from
money to securities and properties
would run back to money, and the fall
in prices would be terrific.
Debacle of Prices.
st do not think there is the slightest
belief among the population of the
United States that the dollar will ever
he returned to par-that is, % and a
fraction grams gold,
IF it were, there would be the
greatest debacle in prices ever seen, be-
cause all these peopl who hav run to
property would Immediately run back to
the dollar
"A lot of our people would like to see
the President use his full power and go
to SO per cent, other would like to see
20 or is per cent devaluation.'
1t would be very difficult to establish
de facto currency stabilization, he
added, and say specifically that the
dollar. pound and franc should be held
to stated levels.
He contended that the removal of
trade restrictions is essential to any
stabilization of more than the most
temporary character
internal necessities of correcting
debt structures require the devaluation
of currencies in most countries" the
American maintained in reference to a
question on private debts.
He expressed the belief that stabiliza-
tion of the dollar at some point would
be acceptable to the administration, but
doubted if the administration itself
knows what figure should be selected.
Stabilized at 10-Cent Cotton.
When asked whether a price of IL
cents a pound for cotton would be
agreeable to the administration in
establishing its internal price level
Morrison said a lower figure would be
satisfactory
He mentioned around 10 cents" and
said cotton farmers in his section were
doing fairly well at 9 cents now. A
corresponding figure for wheat would
be, roughly, 81 bushel
Questioned concerning the partial
German moratorium on private external
debts, Morrison said it would "just be
the hard luck' of purchasers of Ger
man bonds and that the moratorium
is not a governmental matter. He ex-
pressed confidence Germany would
work its way out of the difficulties.

A Stimulus to Trade
The Bay Ferry

Among many requests which Public Works Admins
tration has before to assist in the financing of
dating projects the petition of the Chesapeake Beach Rail-
way Company for loan of slightly than 100000
enable the railway to provide ferry service from Chesapeake
Beach to Hudson, Nd
This is project which should receive the favorable and
immediate attention Of the administration
BY granting loan the administration would carrying
out in double the purposes for which estab
lished
In the first place the loan would permit the employment
at of hundreds of men.
These would be engaged in constructing the ferry boats
necessary to the service and also the piers and buildings at
Chesapeake Beach and Hudson the proposed terminal
points
This employment alone coupled with that speedy
repayment assured is enough to warrant the loan
But the second aspect which qualities the project to receive
the attention of the Public Works Administration of
greater Importance
That the stimulus which operation Of the ferry would
give to business generally in Washington and in large
section of Maryland.
The wide expanse Of the Chesapeake Bay looms
barrier to between the District and the lower section
Of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
There is direct of transportation between the
two and it necessary travel circuous route to
get from section to the other.
Naturally this condition STILES trade between the two

are anxious to do business with another.
The proposed ferry would eliminate many miles Of travel
between the two areas.
would enable the Eastern Shore to send its highly perish
able seafood produce to the National Capital by shorter
and much speedier route.
It would enable the business men of Washington to make
quick deliveries to Eastern Shore points
would enable residents Washington with greater
comfort the many resorts along the peninsula
The advantage of the ferry to trade and
obvious They should certainly sway the Public Works Ad
