TAKE LEAGUE AS IT STANDS

RESERVATIONS WILL VITIATE WHOLE COVENANT, PRESIDENT TELLS SENATORS. Washington, July 18.—President Wilson after holding several conferences at the white house with republican senators went to the capitol late today to confer with Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, ranking democratic member of the foreign relations committee. After a three-quarters of an hour conference with Senator Hitchcock, which was said by the president to have been for the purpose of removing some of the misinterpretation which had arisen during treaty discussion by the senate, he returned to the white house. Senator Hitchcock said he had discussed many features of the senate fight with the president, whom he 'had found “very cheerful” over the outlook. The senator did not go into detail. The president is still insistent that the peace treaty and league of nations covenant ibe ratified without reservations, Senator Capper, republican. Kansas, said today, after a conference with the president at the white house. f Beside Senator Capper, Senators McNary of Oregon, Kellogg of Minnesota, and Kenyon of lOwa conferred with the president today. Senator Capper said the president took the position that adoption of reservations by the senate was certain to be misinterpreted abroad and would set a precedent which might be followed by other nations. The president pointed out, he said, that if all nations adopted their own reservations and placed their own interpretations on the covenant the real meaning and purpose of the league might be vitiated. The senator said the president did not present arguments, but simply state dfacts, leaving him to draw his own conclusions. Senator Capper said the Shantung settlement was discussed at length and that the president appeared to be in possession of many pertinent and important facts. The senator declined, however, to say what these were. Senator McNary, of Oregon, after conferring with the president, said Mr. .Wilson had presented facts which materially modified first impressions of the Shantung settlement. Regarding the league of nations, the Oregon senator said that he found himself substantially in accord with the president. The possible effect of reservations in the senate’s acceptance of the treaty is understood to have been discussed at length at the conference, but Mr. McNary said he had not changed his mind on the subject. The senator said he had prepared an address dealing with the legal effect of reservations in which he expects to announce his views next week in the senate. Neither Senator Kenyon nor Senator Kellogg would discuss their conversations with the president, but as he went to the white house, Senator Kenyon said he intended to ask about the statement of Senator Swanson, dem'ocra'C, Virginia, in the senate recently that the United States could withdraw from the league whenever it desired, adding this was a very important point, which would clarify the situation.

CHURCHES NOT TO BE DEPRIVED OF WINE.

Washington, July 18. tions just issued by the bureau of internal revenue afford every religious organization in the United States opportunity to obtain wine for sacramental purposes. “We (have endeavored to cut out all ‘red tape,’ ” Deputy Commissioner Gaylord said, “and have made the regulations easy for bona fide organizations to follow.” Where sacramental "wines are produced and distributed under clerical supervision, as in certain monasteries of the Roman Catholic church, the usual internal revenue tax must be paid and accurate records kept of all shipments. In case of purchases of wine from dealers not under church supervision, the bureau expressed a preference that an affidavit of the use to which the wine was to be put accompany the order, for the protection of both the seller and purchaser. Churches not having hierarchal organizations ■will obtain wine on the application of the minister or duly authorized officer of the congregation. Jewish congregations, each of which is a separte entity under no superior prelate, will obtain wine for their services on application of the rabbi. The historic mead, brewed from grapes and honey, will continue to ’be used in the Passover feast. The bureau has ruled, contrary to erroneous reports that mead was prohibited, that the drink may be made in accordance with the ancient custom in the homes of Jewish families, when intended for use in the religious festival.

NEW INSTITUTION A NATIONAL BANK

FARMERS’ AND MERCHANTS’ NATIONAL BANK TO OCCUPY CORNER. The purchase of the Leopold corner building by A. F. Long brings to light a movement that has been under consideration for some time, the organization of a new bank in Rensselaer. 0 A definite statement has been issued by those interested in this new financial institution. They have purebased of Mr. Long twentythree feet front on Washington street extending to a depth of one hundred feet on North Van Rensselaer street. The new bank is to be known as the Farmers’ and Merchants’ National! bank and will occupy the front part of this room and the already organized Mortgage and Realty company will occupy the rear. In conjunction with Mr. Long the building' will be remodeled. Mr. Long will occupy' the room now being used by the Home Grocery. This room will be the same size as the bank room, twenty-three feet by one hundred feet, and as soon as it is remodeled Mr. Long will move his drug store into it. He will install a soda fountain and will serve ice cream and other prepared eats and drinks so often served in drug stores. These two rooms will extend back to just a foot north of the little room occupied by Werner the tailor. The fifty feet from there to the alley and extending forty-six feet inward will be improved by Mr. Long. The present buildings will be razed and in their place Mr. Long win erect a fine modern business room with basement, furnace and possibly three stories high. The two upper stories will be fitted up for offices. It is understood that Mr. Long will sell his present business building. He reports that he has a number of persons anxious to buy it. If he gets the price he is asking for it he will not have made a much greater investment in the new building than he receives for the old one. Auditor Joseph P. Hammond is the leading organizer of the new bank. E. L. Hollingsworth is much more interested in the Mortgage and Realty company. The charter for the Mortgage and Realty company has already been issued. The charter for the national bank has been applied for. The new financial organization is to be capitalized at $50,000, with SIO,OOO surplus. Pending the remodeling of the newly purchased property, both organizations will occupy the room in the Hollingsworth building on South Van Rensselaer street lately vacated by Wiseman & Winfrey.
