Harding Denies
Board Sought to
Control Prices
Plane Wrecked Near Mail Field
Governor Says Object of Body
Was to Prevent Collapse of
Country's Banking
System.
Washington, Aug. 5. Reserve
bank policies of 1919 and 192U were
formulated solely to prevent the
country's banking system from col
lanse and were successful in their
obiect. Governor Harding: of the re
serve board declaed today, in clos
ing a two days' appearance before
a joint congressional commission.
To questioners, he repeated time
and again a declaration that the
board had not sought to influence
prices, either up or down, nut had
prepared to meet a price break that
was world-wide, and yet to maintain
and expand credit lines.
There was a bare possibility, he
said, that if, in 1919, the reserve
board had raised national rediscount
rates, "the runaway in prices might
have been checked and the result
might have been better," but he
mentioned needs of the government
financing as influential in determin
ing the courses actually taken.
Representative Sumner, demo
crat, Texas, suggested that "the
word might .have gone out," from
the board to bankers to be fearful
of prices, "but Governor Harding
said that nothing had been done in
consistent with his statement.
"It wasn't a good time to be talk
ing too much -in 1920," he remarked,
"but We can be bolder now."
He made a suggestion that the
committee might utilize the farm
loan boards as a means of extending
credits to farmers for nine and M
month periods, but said he would
make no detailed recommendation,
"All over the country we find that
agricultural and five stock interests
find they need more credit facili
ties," he said, "and want something
to make themselves independent of
ranks. The farmers! credit horizon
is necessarily limited and local. Any
man hesitates about getting the gov
eminent in business and we can't use
the reserve system for that, because
its funds are essentially reserve
funds, but I consider there is a pos
sibility that the' tarni . loan banks
might be extended to meet the need
Ihe question needs study.
: Governor Harding denied .that his
administration of reserve, bank poli
cies had deflated cotton prices.
, He emphasized his present belief
that cotton prices, were stabilized
with a short .crop riir prospect and
that prices could be relied- upon com
pletely for all proper ' credit- opera-
upas. ,..... . .

New York, Aug. S. Believing
herself to have been wooed and won
by a poor man, Miss Marion A.
I'ovie now Mrs. Thomas H. Wells,
jr. has awakened to find herself the
bride of a millionaire.
It was all just like the old-fashioned
story books. Miss I'ovie,
daughter of Mortimer Povie, an as
sociate editor of the Ladies Home
Journal, lived with her family in a
modest -flat on the top floor of a
West Ninety-sixth streetapartment.
Along came Thomas H. Wells,
jr., ot nubbaru, U., who. made no
boasts of who he was or what he
had. The girl and her parents liked
him, but were under the impression
that he wasVa struggling real estate
dealer.
Only on the eve of the marriage
:did Wells let it be known that lie
was a rich man. The couple were
married June 2iu last, and are" now
in Pasadena on tneir noneymoon.
The marriage was tccpt secret until
today because of the notoriety given
Wells in his recent . divorce from
Mrs. Stacia W. Wells, on. May 13,
in Warren, O., He accused his first
wife of miso9n,diict,4'an(J(he' retal
iated with charges "of cruelty. Her
counter charge was dismissed, but
she was awafded $300 a month alii
mony so long as she remained un
married.
Wells' second romance started
while he was stricken with a nervous
breakdown in this city and was in a
sanitarium. Miss Povie, at that time
a canteen worker, met him and they
fell in love;

Pledged to Withdraw Troops.
The reoublican party. Senator
Borah declared, was solemnly pledged
to withdraw the troops from Ger
many at the earliest possible mo
ment. Despite the fact that Ger
many, under the terms of the armis
tice, was under obligations to pay
for their maintenance, the fact of the
matter is that the cost of their up
keep is coming out ot the pocKets oi
American taxpayers, he said.
"France is maintaining an army
of 800,00,0 men," said Senator
Brandegee of Connecticutt, repub
lican. "I am at a loss to understand
the necessity of maintaining our
small force here. It seems to me that
three years after the war is over,
the American people are entitled to
kijow, jivithout anybody being em
birraseed, why an American army
is being maintained in Europe."
Senator McKellar pointed out
that the peace resolution was sup
posed to restore a status of peace
with Germany under which it would
be unlawful to keep the .American
troops in Germany. Senator
FMrhf-r of Florida, democrat, in
sisted that the United States "had
no right to maintain troops in Ger

No Security to United States.
The recent bombing 'experiments
off the Virginia cape demonstrated
that the United Mates was now
spending 5240,000,000 on . naval con
struction "in a way that will never
add any security to the people of
the United States," said Senator
Borah.
Senator Jones of Washington, re
publican, said he had witnessed the
bombing tests and told the senate
naval officers he regarded it as a
1,000 to 1 shot that the aircraft
would sink the dreadnaught.

Senator McKellar, however, doubted

Senator Borah introduced a resolu
tion to reduce the army to 100,000
men. It was referred to the military

Wyoming Purchases
Its Own $1,800,000
Highway Bond Issue
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. .5. (Spe
cial.) WhHe Colorado is frantically
appealing to Henry rora and John
D. Rockeffeller, jr., to buy its state
highway bonds all other people
having refused to do so Wyoming
is going, ahead with its road con
struction program. ' '
About a month ago this state's
$1,800,000 issue, authorized by the
voters last spring was put up for sale
at p,ar, but no one wanted it. So
the state itself, with enough money
in its general fund to allow it to do
some buying, took over the entire
amount.
Two years ago the same procedure
was followed by State Treasurer A.
D. Hoskins with regard to the $2,-
800,00 bond issue carried at that. time.
To date $530,000 of that amount has ,
been retired. ' The state treasury is
now in good condition, and will re
main so unless the state supreme
court decides in favor of those who
are seeking to have a portion of the
revenue from the state school lands
turned over to the schools for their
immediate use. In that case there
might be some embarrassment.

today on a charge of bigamy. Gross
is a deserter from the Great Lakes

Ohio. -He says Gross married his
daughter, Grace, more than a year
asro without taking the trouble of
obtaining a divorce trom the woman
who then wore njs weaaing ring.
A jolly, dry-land tar was Gross,
with a wife in every prairie port. He
would rollick up from the railroad
station, his gait still rolling from a
stormy passage aboard the Pullman

admitted to Prosecutor Joseph

New York, Aug. 5.-Evidence
against Jacques Roberto Cibrario,
held under bond on charges of having
defrauded the , Russian soviet gov
ernment out of large sums of money,
was laid before a grand jury today
by Assistant District Attorney Sim
mons. Although the warrant on which
Cibrario was arrested charged him
with obtaining only $136,000 of a
$1,000,000 fund placed at his disposal
by the bolsheviki for the purchase of
moving picture machines and films.
Mr. bimmons said he had evidence
to show Cibrario had fraudulently
obtained about $890,000.
Cibrario is alleged to have formed
several fake corporations through
which he sold to himself as bolshevik
government purchasing agent, a
quantity of worthless motion picture
paraphernal, which he is alleged to
have shipped to Russia.

personnel of the corporation will be
discussed.
Continuance of President Frank
Fowler in office depends upon the
wishes of the majority of stockhold
ers, according to his attorney, W. J.
r. . .. , . f-i ; ....... !
Louringni. ine iouowing siaic-
rpent was given out by Mr. Court
right today: ,
Time for Statement.
"It has been our attitude to do
a lot of thinking and very little talk
ing. Perhaps the time has now come
for a brief statement. Our attitude
all the time has been to do the
wise thing in the best interest of
all of the stockholders. It has been
very hard, to note the various
slanderous and liberous matters be
ing circulated and still keep quiet.
Mr. Fowler has persistently urged
upon me, time and again, that there
was only one thing to consider and
that was the best interest of the
stockholders as a- whole, and that
his personal interest was at all times
to be subrogated thereto.
"I notice the repeated assertion
in newspapers that his refusal to
step aside was the chief difficulty in
financing the corporation. This is j
wholly unfounded. Three weeks ago
I told the bankers m Chicago that
Mr. Fowler's personal attitude was
one of willingness to retire, condi
tioned only on the finding of the
right man to take his place, and in
vited them to get busy to find the
righf man and submit his name to
us for consideration.
Names Other Men.
On last Monday I told a banker
at Omaha of Mr. Fowler's real de
sire and named two other men,
either one of who would be satisfac
tory to us to take his place, if nec
essary, and stated that there were
others if they would be found. I
told him further that Mr. Fowler
recognized first duty to his stock
holders, that it was up to them to
say what he should do, and that he
would not step aside except on con
dition that the stockholders were in
good hands with a successor, and
the banker told me that that attitude
was correct, and he did owe that
duty to the stockholders.
"It is true that there are a large
number of stockholders, and I am
one of them," who believe that the
stockholders' interest vill be best
conserved by Mr. Fowler as presi
dent, and that the banks be made
satisfied on this basis. Let me add
that Mr. Fowler is by far the larg
est stockholder, with capital hold
ings of nearly $500,000, the largest
amount he ever held, and has asso
ciated with him in the main office
a large number o fsalaried em
ployes with large holdings in the
company."
Efforts to Locate

to have dodged all his pursuers. He
is not at Chihuahua, Mexico; Pre
sidio, Tex., or Rodeo, N. M. All
these places have been industriously
combed' for the fugito'e, but while
there were indicationlrthat he had
been in these places, he slipped out
without leaving any trace of his des
tination. It is believed he is work
ing his way down through Mexico
to Honduras, although he is rea
sonably safe in Mexico under'present
relations with that country.
Official responsibility for the af
fairs at the bank will be fixed by the
state, which has . employed an in

all the books and accounts. This

had been made for 20 months, al
though the state banking law re
quired one every six months. The
state bank examiner says he was
short of help and unable to get
around to' the task.

( hlcaKQ' Tribune -Omaha 1ie Lraad M'r,
Chicago, Aug. 5. Doom cracked
in Zion early this morning. It
cracked with such vigor that the
faithful sprang from their beds and
hastened out to discover six fires
blazing at once. Certain vitriolic
signs Voliva, general overseer of the
holy city, "had caused to be erected
in front of rival churches, had taken
fire by some agency and were blaz
ing merrily.
"What next?" whispered the
trembling faithful. Voliva, the fight
ing leader of the hosts, had tossed
his gauntlet into the ring and the
faithless and the scoffers had soaked
it in opal oil and touched a match
to it.
Several weeks ago Voliva began
a scorching campaign against anti-
Zionist churches in Zion. There
are independents living in the holy
city, property owners, who do not
bend the knee to Voliva and there
are meetings of the Holy Roller so
ciety in a hall. Grace Missionary
society also has a small group of
worshipers. Voliva erected large
billboards in front and around these
places, denouncing them in letters a
foot high and in vitriolic language.
Whether it was due to his burning
words or to a kerosene torch, the
six great bill boards took fire at
dawn today.
"It is the end , of the world,"
blubbered one hysterical woman.
"It is not," warned a long
whiskered member of the faithful.
"The world is flat. Voliva has said
so. If this be the end of the world.
why can we not see over the edge?
Peace be with thee, foolish woman."
At any rate the fire caused gen
eral disregard of one of Voliva
sternest decrees. His people came
torth showing ankles, knees, scrag
gly back bones, scrawny necks and
some ot the women s arms were
actually bare to the elbows because
of their sudden flight from their
homes without regard for attire.
Ihe fire and its consequences arc
expected to bring irom Voliva an
eruption of words that will fairly
make the north side rock and scare
the lake clear back to the five-mile
crib.

Caruso Took All
Of His Property
With Him on Trip
His Art Objects, Coin and
Curios Collections Shipped
to Naples as He Believed
He Wouldn't Return.
New York, Aug. 5. E n r i c o
Caruso left virtually no property,
either real or personal, in this coun
try when he sailed away last spring
to his native Italy, Bruno Zirato, his
private secretary and confidant for
years, announced today.
Even his beloved Objets d' Art, his
Ceremics, his pictures, coins and
curios, ofwhich he had a marvelous
collection, were packed into 20 large
trunks arid boxes and most of them
were shipped to Italy. So were all
the personal effects and furnishings
with which he had beautified his
hotel suite here.
Caruso's frankly spoken reason for
this, though jocularly expressed
zirato saia, was me oenci tnai ne
might never get back to New York.
Mr. Caruso owned no real estate in
this country, Zirato said. He had
summer home in East Huntington,
L. I., which he had leased for a term
of six months, and his city residence
was the hotel suite.
"As for personal property" added
Zirato, "practically all of Caruso's
stocks and bonds with the sole ex
ception of a comparatively small
block or liberty loan securities
which he still retains in a safe de
posit vault, were sold out completely
something like two years ago.
"His reason for this action I pre
sume, was the heavy government
taxes imposed upon such holdings,
though during war time and there
after, there were few men if any who
paid large income tax imposts more
cheertully than he.
Mr. Zirato declared that neither fie
nor anyone else in this country could
give an accurate estimate as to the
amount of Mr. Caruso's estate. The
tenor made out a will, he explained,
shortly after the birth of his daughter
Gloria, about two years ago.
It was written in the tenor's own
hand, he added, and so far as is
known, its contents were not revealed
to anyone. Zirato and two close
friends of the tenor signed as wit
nesses.
Washington, Aug. 5. Final ae
tion by the senate finance commit
tee on the Fordney tariff bill ap
peared tonight to be farther away
than at any time since the measure
was turned over to it two weeks
ago. There were no si gaff that the
committee would be able for some
days to enter into executive con-l
sidcration of the two controversial'
phases of the bill American valua-'
tion and the dye embargo and no
hearings have been held or study
given to rates and other provisions.,
Indications that senators will de-'
mand figures on production costs,
profits and a multitude of other de
tails of the dye and chemical busi
ness developed today.
Chairman Penrose tiad planned
early in the week to begin executive,
sessions next Thursday. The dye'
embargo controversy, however, has'
developed so much discussion that it
was said the testimony will prob-j
ably not be completed by that time.i
The subject has brought letters
from Secretaries Weeks and Denby,
it was announced, expressing the I
keen interest of the War and Navy
departments in the matter from the
standpoint of national defense.
The committee heard witnesses in
opposition and for an embargo. An
tagonism between the two sides was
frequently shown during the day.
The American Dye institute was
brought into the discussion several
times and its statement of expendi
tures covering; activities in behalf ot
legislation was read. Senator Smoot,
republican, Utah, who read the
statement, explained that it showed
expenses of $104,000 for "lobbying,"
and that Joseph H. Choate, spokes
man for the dye interests, seeking
an embargo, had been paid mor
than $25,000 for services last year.
