Then Makes It Hotel Again
''Demand for hotel accommoda

the country," declared Dr. D. , B.
McCreary, surgeon of Lake City, la.,
in Omaha today. '
"I bought the Columbia hotel at
Lake City a number of years ago
and turned it into a hospital. I
found, however, that in spite of the
large number of patients which the
hospital drew that the demand for
a hotel was' greater, so I've decided
to change the property back into a
hotel." '

Caused Great Loss.
"This car shortage situation has
caused a great loss to owners of
live stock and has stagnated the
business of those who handle crops
and has created a condition border
ing on financial panic. What we are
aiming to 'do is to have restored
to. the railroads of the northwest an
equivalent of their own rolling
stock or, in other words, 100 per
cent efficiency. The situation has
been complicated by eastern rail
roads starting many of these' oars
back to their home roads only to
have them sidetracked or get caught
in freight tieups, thereby aiding in
the general congestion.
"Then again the banks are loaded
up with paper on both grain and
live stock until . they have about
reached their limit. The country
bancs carrying this security have
called on the Omaha banks and they
in turn have called on the federal
reserve bank and in order to get rcf
lief we 'must get our grain to mar
ket; that is all there is to t." 1
Shorthill Is Chairman.
At the conference this morning,
J.;H. Shorthill of Omaha was elect
ed chairman and A. F. Stryker, sec
retary of the Omaha Live Stock ex

ber, as well as Thome A. Brown, a
member of the Nebraska Stat? Rail
way commission, will have a con
ference with Senator Cummins and
Representative Esch, chairman of
commerce committees of their re
spective bodies. '
At the meeting of the conference
on car shortage this afternoon, Gov
ernor Harding of the Federal Re
serve board spoke extensively on
the question of bank credits. In ad
dition to those already mentioned
there are present at the conference
from Omaha: J. D. David Larson,
commissioner of the Chamber of
Commerce; E. P. Peck and Anan

Bankers to .Protest.
The conference of state bankers
brought together representatives of
state banks from all sections of the

Clearing Hftuse association, also
accompanied the Nebraska bankers,
but is not a member of the confer
ence. " '" '
The conference decided to appear
before the ules committee in suo
port of Representative King's reso
lution calling for the appointment
by the speaker of a selection of nine
members to investigate the alleged
arbitrary methods used by certain
rj i i i.
icaerai reserve oanics againsi non
member banks with reference to par
clearances, the alleged concentra
tion of power in the hands of the
reaerai Keserve ooara to a greater
degree and- in the hands of fewer
men and the alleged attempt to reg
ulate the conduct of nonmember
state banks, and to force such banks
into business relations with the fed
eral reserve system. .
Little Hope of Success.
A committee will also have a' con
ference with the banking and cur
rency committee of the nouse with
a view of trying to harmonize the
views of certain members of that
committee with those! of the state
bankers.
While the Nebraska delegation
of state bankers does not believe it
will get anywhere on their charges
of coercion against certain opera
tives ot the Kansas City and Omaha
reserve banks, they have about de
cided to go through with their side
of the case and will have a hearing
before Governor Harding Thursday.
