CIRCUS TAXFRAUD
|SLA|D TO SIX MEN
Lawyer and U. S. Agents In
dicted as $3,359,016 Con-
spiracy Is Charged.
Bv the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Ten indict-
ments were returned by a Federal
grand jury yesterday charging six
men with conspiracy to defraud the
Government OF $3,359,01648 on in
come tax returns of the Ringing
Bros. -Barnum & Bailey combined
shows from 1918 to 1882. inclusive.
None of the Ringing family was
named as a defendant. John M.
Kelley, a lawyer and member Of the
Wisconsin and Florida bars, was
named in all Of the true bills.
The others indicted were Ralph d.
Sullivan, Chillicothe, Ohio, formerly
with the Bureau Of Internal Revenue;
Nathaniel F. Rabner, formerly an
Internal Revenue Bureau auditor,
whose address was given as the Ma
tional Press Building, Washington,
D. c.; Charles D. M. Greer, an
internal revenue agent, Sarasota,
Fla; William Blum of the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue, TomkinSville, Mo-,
and Richard Fuchs, secretary to John
Ringing from 1919 to 1884, now a
Brooklyn, N. Y, resident.
Kelley, general attorney for the
Ringing interests since 1908, could
not be reached Immediately for COM
ment at his New York office He main
tainS homes in Harrington Park, N. j.,
and Sanford, Fla.
The indictments were the culmina-
tion of two years of investigation in
New York, Sarasota, Chicago, Los
Angeles and Washington by special
agents Of the Department of Justice
and Internal Revenue Bureau agents.
The indictments charged that ap-
proximately $2,000,000 in spectacles
produced and abandoned by the circus
interests before 1915 were fraudulently
deducted as depreciation between the
years 1918 to 1925.
A statement issued by United States
Attorney Lamar Hardy set forth that
Kelly fabricated inven-
tories of circus properties that were
never owned by the circus
upon his own responsibility and with
out the knowledge or consent of the
Ringing brothers or the representa-

THE portion of existing excess re-
serves which will be absorbed by the
boards action, if permitted to become
the basis of a tenfold or even larger
expansion of bank credit, would
create an injurious credit expansion"
said Eccles.
1T is for this reason that the board
decided to lock up this part Of the
present volume of member bank re-
serves as measure of prevention on
the one hand and of further encour-
agement to sound business recovery
and confidence in the long-term in
vestment market on the other hand"
There is no excessive credit eXpan-
sion now, he said. He argued that it
was better for the Reserve Board to
act now than when expansion occurs,
because then the action might bring
on "deflationary cycle"
The action was taken under powers
granted the Reserve Board by the
banking act of 1885, which allows the
board to increase reserve requirements
by as much as 100 per cent
1T Is far better to sterilize a part
Of these superfluous reserves while
they are still unused than to permit a
credit structure to be erected upon
them and then to withdraw the foun-
dation Of the structure" Eccles said.
He added the present excess was
caused almost entirely by the inflow
of gold from abroad and not from the
systems policies of encouraging re-
covery through the creation and main
tenance of easy money conditions.
This easy-money policy remains
unchanged and will be continued" he
said.
THE part of the excess reserves thus
eliminated is superhuous for all pres
ent or prospective needs of commerce,
industry and agriculture, and can be
absorbed at this time without affecting
money rates and without restrictive
influence upon member banks.
Furthermore, by this action, the
remaining volume of excess reserves,
which will still be larger than at any
time in the systems history prior to
the recent large inflow of gold, Is
brought within the scope of control by
the Federal Open Market Committee,
which, as constituted by the banking
act of 1885, consists of the members
of the Board of Governors and five
representatives elected regionally by
the Federal Reserve banks"
Eccles said that board surveys dis
closed the reserve balances were so
we'll distributed that virtually all mem
Ter banks were in position to meet
the new increases, either by utilizing
their excess balances or by drawing
upon their excess balances with cor
respondent banks.
Unless large additional increases in
reserves occur through gold imports or
otherwise, no occasion for further ad-
justment in reserve requirements is
likely to arise in the near future" Ec-
o2es said.
