An amusing incident oc.
eurred at the Sewickley Horse
Show this year.
Roger Bailey, of Upperville,
went there to show three horses.
Two of them belonged to the
late DR.. S. Taylor, of Middle
burg, and with one of these, a
bay mare called Ganadora,
Mr.. Bailey won several ribbons.
The third horse was his own.
Spectators noticed that when
he showed this horse he
mounted him in the ring in
stead Of riding him in from
the paddock.
The night before the last day
Of the show Mr.. Bailey was
sitting around a large round
table in the bar of the Allie
ganey Country Club talking
with several other gentlemen.
One of them asked Mr.. Bailey
why he had mounted his horse
inside the ring instead Of out
side.
Mr.. Bailey replied it was be-
cause he simply could not make
the horse enter the ring gate
when he was in the saddle. The
other gentleman a Pittsburgher
whom Mr.. Bailey had just met
expressed astonishment and
said that he had never heard
of q horse that couldn't be rid
dren in any direction the rider
selected. Mr.. Bailey who is
one Of the best show riders in
the country said that for his
part he couldn't ride the horse
into the ring but that perhaps
someone else could, aQS that If
he, the Pittsburgher, thought he
was able to do it he was well
come to try. The Pittsburgher
seemed convinced that he could
and was inclined to make a
wager with Mr.. Bailey to that
effect.
X II X
After some discussion as to
the terms of the bet, Mr.. Bailey
said:
"Well, I'll tell you what I'll
do. The horse is entered in o
class tomorrow. He is q nice
jumper-yOu saw him go. He
il o nice hunter. You ride him
tomorrow, get on him outside
the ring, and if you can, unaS-
sisted, ride him in and get him
over the first fence the horse
is yours. But il you fail you
owe me $780,"
This bet was very satisfactory
to the Pittsburgher. Then all
the details were settled. The
time limit was the duration of
the class. No dope could be
used. No one but the rider was
to be allowed to touch the
horse or his bride during the
competition. When the terms
of the wager were finally set
tied, witnesses were called and
the two gentlemen "shook" on
the bet.
The curious part of the bet
came to light after the end Of
the negotiations: the Pitts
burgher couldn't ride. This dis
covery astonished those present
who naturally had assumed that

For Equal Rights

More than 800 women in the

of the District Branch Of the
National Woman's Party-in
the fall will begin in earnest
the reorganization Of their
group.
This large group, whose pur-
pose is to work for the best in
terests of women and for bet
ter laws affecting women, has
not been very active during the
past few years because of the
depression and for other rea'
sons.
The outstanding object Of
this organization, however. Is
to obtain for women complete
equality with men under the
law and in all human relation
ships.
The National Woman's Party
has discovered that there are
more than a thousand laws dis
eliminating against women IN
the United States. These laws
cover more than so points OF
inequality. There are discrim'
nations in the laws of every
State of the Union. These dis
examinations touch woman in
every sphere Of her life and
activities her children, her
marriage, her property, her
right to a livelihood, her right
to public service, etc.-accord-
ing to the organization.
The entire list of discrimina-

STATE BANKERS
OFFICER SLABS
RUCKER REPORT
Charges Court Prober Has
Little knowledge of
Indiana Laws.

A sharp rebuke to Alvah J.
Rucker. special bank investigator.
for alleged failure to familiarize
himself with the state banking laws
was administered today by Don E.
Warrick, Indiana Bankers ASsocis-
ton secretary, in a letter to Mr..
Rucker.
Copies Of the letter were given TO
the daily newspap ers.
Mr.. WarrIck took exception to
Mr.. Fuckers plea for new banking
legislation by saying. I am wonder
ing if you have made yourself IA
miliar with what has transpired in
the way of Indiana bank legislation
since March 9, 1881
The reading public is led to be-
lieve that you are a specialist in
this field and they Immediately be-
gan to look for your recommended
tons"
Mr.. WaTick traces in detail the
legislation sponsored by the IN
diana Bankers Association and
pushed by Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt
He refers specifically to the new
Indiana financial institutions act
and the establishment of financial
institutions department with its
banking commission, appointed by
Governor McNutt.
Gives Laws History
He cites, too, the fact that the
law went into effect six days before
the banking moratorium at time
when there we're $40 state banks,
trust companies and private banks
in Indiana operating under a char
ter basis.
There are now 412 chartered
banks operating on an unrestricted
basis. 1863 of which have their de-
positors' funds insured up to $4,000
on each account, according to Mr..
Warrick
These statements are followed bv
this observation by the bankers
spokesman:
Il am at loss to understand
how you could lead the reading
public to interpret your report as
recommending new legislation for
the protection of present depositors
in going Indiana banks in view Of
the foregoing.
One would have thought that you
would have Informed yourself upon
the new law and its administration,
as you by indication point out the
application of the old law as it re-
lateS to your case in point.
Best Law in U. S.
Possibly there are some minor
changes to be made in the new law
as experience of its application UNI
folds these points to be found in
any new law. However. people who
have an understanding of banking,
banking laws and administration are
in accord that the new Indiana law
and its administration is probably
the best law in the United States"
Mr.. Warrick concludes his sting
ing slap at Mr. Fuckers report with
the observation that the Indiana
Bankers association is interested n
seeing that the banking public is
given the benefit Of recent and cur
rent information pertaining 10
banking and is not misled by lack
of such understanding.
