GATES TROUBLE; BELL
CONTINUES BANGING AWAY
FOR TEN MINUTES

This morning at 4:40 o'clock
there was heard in practically al
parts OF the city the irregular
banging of the bell of the fire
alarm system which continued
over period of about 10 min
utes.
1t was learned later that wires
of the system had become crossed
because OF the high winds, caus-
ing a condition which was re-
spOnsib.e for the ringing of the
bell.
City Electrician Sidney Thomp-
SON located the trouble within a
short time and made temporary
correction of the tangle until i'm
proved weather conditions will
permit of complete repairs.
The only other trouble report
ed during the night was to a
short cable OF the Key West Elec-
trio company's equipment, which
was burnt out.
This occurred about a o'clock
this morning. was Immediately 10
Gated by employees of the COM

effected temporary resumption of
service until complete repairs were
made today.
Both of the conditions were
brought about, it is said, by the
wind which, at its highest velo-
city, was 36 miles per hour, as the
information contained in reports

Every year the Department of

both produced and paid out. The
income produced is the market
value of commodities produced
and services rendered, less the
value of raw materials and equip

Announcement by Great Britain
that she will not scrap 10000
tons of average destroyers next
December as provided by the 1880
Naval Treaty, confirms what has
been a fOregone conclusion for
months and automatically gives
the United States and Japan the
right to retain destroyer tonnage.
This means that the United States
and Great Britain will have 190,-
600 tons of destroyers and Japan
10000. The British action was
no surprise because early in 1881
they stated that unless France re-
duced her submarine tonnage,
they would invoke the special
clause in the Treaty allowing
them to retain destroyers. Ad-
miral Standby points out that the
United States has in excess of
10000 tons of average destroy
ers which should be disposed of
by January 1st and that tonnage
sufficient to match the British
over-quota allowance would be
taken from the best Of these old
vessels.

In 1922, the national income
produced was $500 900, 900,
and that paid out was $78,632,-
100000. By 1882. the income pro-
duced dropped to $39,545, 100000
and the income paid out was S48,-
1862, 100000. Since 1929, income
paid out has exceeded income pro-
duced, making it necessary for
business to dip into reserves to
pay wages, dividends and interest.
Gradually. however, there has
been a tendency toward a balance,
reflected in the figures for 1885
when the income produced was

$50, 587, 100000.

The Townsend Convention at

by the leaders Of the movement
assisted by such other leaders as
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, of
Detroit, and the Rev. Gerald
Smith, present head of the late
Huey P. Longs "Share-the-
Wealth" movement. With about
$500 voting delegates, staying in
tourist camps, boarding houses
and various hostelries, the conven-
ton was noted by an absence of
smoking and an abstinence from
liquor. The barge of oratory
brought rousing demonstrations
from the audience. which, at
times, gave the glad hand to con-
flicting statements. For example,
Father Coughlin, the Detroit priest
got a rousing reception as he rip
ped off his coat, vest and Roman
collar and applied epithets of
''liar and betrayer" to President
Roosevelt. However, Conner Smith

Following a course that has
been urged for many months by
certain bankers and economist,
notably Winthrop w. Alrich, chair
man of the Chase National Bank,
the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System raised
the legal reserve requirements of
member banks fifty per cent. thus
eliminating some S1,450, 100000
of excess reserves now estimated
at So, 100000. This action
disregarded the advice of other
bankers, notably S. Parker Gilbert
of ]. P. Morgan and Company,
who insisted that there was no I'M
due expansion of credit and to
raise requirements at this time
might jeopardhe recovery.
