Controversy Continues.
Meanwhile, the controversy over
efforts of the federal reserve board
to curb the use of credit in stock
market operations has given little
evidence of abatement, although
neither the board nor the governors
of the twelve federal reserve banks,
who were in session at the same
time, but not jointly, yesterday, went
into the New York situation.
The governors are having their
semi-annual conference and, al
though several of them dropped in
on the board meeting, which also
was attended by Secretary Mellon,
it was announced that they had
discussed only routine matters. Af
ter the board meeting. Secretary
Mellon said no mention had been
made of the action of Charles Mit
chell of the National City park, dur
ing the credit crisis last Tuesday,
in advancing 125,000,000 to broaK
the advance in the call loan rate.
That action, which drew demand
for his resignation as a New York
reserve bank director, from Senator
Glass, democrat, Virginia, a former
secretary of the treasury, was given
vigorous support last night by Lang
borne M. Williams, senior member
cf the banking firm of John L. Wil

of the late John Skelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency in 1920.
Attacks Senator Glass.
In a telegram to Mr. Mitchell, he
told the New York banker that "the.
country owes to you a debt of gra
titude for your attempt to ofTset what
many consider the vicious miscon
duct cf the federal reserve board in
attempting to destroy the large busi
ness interests of the country," and
in a message to the senator declared:
"Referring to your call on Mr.
Charles Mitchell to resign from the
federal reserve bank at New York,
I believe that it would be far more
appropriate that you should resign
as senator from Virginia and let some
one of broad and vision, like Gov.
Harry Byrd, who is not drowned in
self-conceit and narrowgauge think
ing, take your place in the senate of
the United States, as a real broad

"and most cf our roads will be gravel
roads for a good many years. So we
must look to it that they last for a
long time."
Six wheeled trucks, Cochran said,
injure the roads much less under the
same load than four-wheeled trucks.
The legislation requested by the state
engineer takes care of that contin
gency by fixing a" limit for each
wheel, so that six-wheeled trucks
might legally carry heavier loads
than four-wheeled trucks.
"What we are asking for," he said.
"is becoming the general policy over
the country. Many other states either
have taken or are taking these pre
cautionary enforcement measures to
save their roads."

rai:-,e money to repair the Methodist
church in South Bend. There has
been a report to the effect thnt the
Methodist Association was planning
on taking over the church. In such
case it was to be torn down and
moved. Mrs. Kline consulted the
superintendent of Methodist church
es of this district and he says that
this church was built by public sub
scriptions and dedicated as a Metho
dist church and therefore belongs to
the Methodist Association and is not
taxable. It is loaned to the communi
ty to use as a union church as long
as they keep it in repair and it is
used by Methodist people for church
services. The building needs repaper
ing and new sills put under it and
Mrs. Kline is working hard to raise
money for this purpose. Any dona
tions will be thankfully received.
