‘Statements of WEEKLY RESERVE REVEAL LOSSES Steel Under Pressure in Early Wall Street Dealings. Bu Cuffed Preaa NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Weekly Federal reserve statements both for the system as a whole and the local bank showed losses in reserve ratios due to heavy increases in rediscounts ana notes in circulation These changes reflected preparations to meet autumn business requirments. However, steel was under pressure in early dealings on the stock exchange today, apparently due to further selling based on George F. Baker’s statement that he expected no immediate action regarding a special distribution. Steel dipped to 11off 7 * from the previous close, while General Motors lost % to 208 and other industrial leaders reacted in proportion. Traders who had been looking for continuation of an irregular market in the pre-holiday session saw a jfcpwerful buying movement spring VTp in many sections of the list around noon. Seasoned rails furnished good leadership hy advancing sharply on active dealings. C. & O..moved up 1% to a fresh record high at 159, responding to President Harahan's statement that,this year's operations should leave a balance for the stock in excess of the $.’1.32 shown In 1925.

Wheat opened % to lc lower, with September $1.29%. Sentiment in the pit was generally bearish. iLiverpool cables were weaker.

More rains over Texas, Nebraska, Illinois and lowa is considered bad for tl.o corn crop and caused that cereal to open %to s ,c higher, than yesterday's close. September went at 74 *4 c.

iCORRESPONDENTS VERIFY DISPATCH ((.'ontituiefl From Page 1) Hotel. Indianapolis. The Sun reporter was accompanied by Frank Prince, manager of the Indiana News Bureau, representing a nuin her of Indiana newspapers. Both Mr. Prince and the Sun reporter made copious notes during the progress of the interview. "The remark made by Mrs. IVheatcraft regarding her 'poison squad' came voluntarily from her without prompting or suggestion of ally kind. The reference to 'whispering women’ was in a measure suggested by the Sun reporter, who drew a comparison between the 'poison squad’ and the widely published story of war days concerning 'the whispering women of the Piave.’ Mrs. Wlieatcraft, as stated in the Sun report, agreed thoroughly with the parallel. "At tlie copclu.-ion of the Interview Mr. Prince went 10 his office, where he copied down his notes and his recollection of the questions asked and answers given during the interview. The Sun repprter went to the Indianapolis Athletic Club and did the same thing. Later both he and Mr. Prince met and compared their typewritten copies. These were ; found to be exactly similar." Further Details Prince confirmed the statement of Douglas. Asa further confirmation of the accuracy of tfie interview, he pointed to a part of his own account of that Interview sent to the Richmond Palladium which said: " ‘Some might call it a propaganda j unit, but to me it's my poison I squad.' "Thus spoke the much discussed lieutenant of Senator Janies K. Watson and the commander-in-chief of his women forces—Mrs. Vivian Tracy Wheatcraft. “'There is one thing that has never been seen by anyone save myself, one thing that they cannot take from me. because it belongs only to me—my poison squad. In my little black book are the names of five women from each county. When I want to start something 1 tip off my poison squad. Inside of twelve hours it's all over the State.' “ ‘That's it. victory by gossip.’ when reminded of '.he ‘Whispering Women of the Piavt,' whose defeatist propaganda crushed the Italian war strategy ir. 1917.' Not a Stitch Skipped "Let Mrs. Wheatcraft lift the curj tain and show you the motive plan | of her well-oiled, highly efficient niaI chine which did not to skip a stitch. “ 'First of all. I visited each of the thirteen congressional districts and selected a district chairwoman. With these thirteen women I picked a county chairwoman for each of the ninety-two counties in the State. I picked them and made it a point to know that they were for my candidate first, last and all the time. “ 'Then,' continued Mrs. AVheatcraft, 'the task was to organize the precinct committeewomen, of whom there are 3.551. By now my organization was beginning to take shape and form. " 'From one end of the State to the o*her 1 made speeches. Speeches of instruction and suggestion. Each of these 3.551 women chose ten active workers In her particular prescind. One woman would do , the I telephoning, another look after the | music, yet another look after the | babies, so that active work would ! not be Interfered with.’ "Our observation that such diligent efforts must have been remunerated with a handsome salary brought the rejoinder. 'Very little. | tpwo hundred dollars a month and expenses’ " 'How long were you actually | working in this primary?’ “ 'For twelve months,’ “ ‘Then you were on it while vice chairman of the Republican party?’ *" ‘Yes, hut 1 resigned when the candidacies were filed.' ”

Allen County Interested Hu Timm Special FT. WAYNE. Ind., Kept. 3.—The denial made by Mis. Vivian 'U'heateraft of the interview given by her to the Baltimore Sun, which has been reprinted throughout Indiana, has not eased the storm which it aroused among the women of Allen County. Although Agatha Diek, district chairwoman and secretary of the local board of works, denied that the Wheatcraft story had been the subject of discussion at the Republican rally held at Tri-Lakes yesterday and refused to be quoted on the matter, Mrs. Clara Emrick, city chairwoman, said that the matter had been discussed. "I do not know what to think." said Mrs. Emrick. “We are, of course,, very sorry that it happened, but we agreed yesterday that we would fight for Mrs. Wheatcraft to the end.” ‘‘.Just Too Rad" That the full significance of Mrs. Wheatcraft's interview has not dawned on the women workers here is made evident by the questions in the minds of many of the workers interviewed. Mrs. Robert Spice. Jr., 71" precinct committeewoman, said: "Mrs. Wheatcraft is a wonderful worker. Her work is shown in the results obtained, and it is just too bad. I hardly know what stand to take. I do not want to say anything that will hurt the candidates." Mrs. E. J. Long-field, former county chairwoman and woman manager in Lew Shank’s campaign for the gubernatorial nomination likes Mrs. Wheatcraft and declares "Mrs. Wheatcraft's ’poison squad’ was prompted by the men under whose direction she was working.” Resentment Shown An unmasked resentment was shown in the conversation of Mrs. James A. Liggett, vice precinct committeewoman, who made an unsuccessful race for county recorder. "I do not know whom Mrs. Wheatcraft referred to In Allen County, but I positively resent the Imputation and couldn’t work with an or. ganl'zation that tolerated such things because it is against the best interests of the Republican party.” Many of the organization women

fiete refused to comment until they had had an opportunity to get together and discuss the matter. The hope had been expressed that the matter would be allowed to drop. Others are fearful, however, that the full story lias not been told by the newspaper men. who secured the in lerview, and that other remarks may have been made hy .Mrs. Wheatcraft which would be more detrimental than the "poison squad" story. Believe Interview There Is disposition on the part of the women -here to doubt the authenticity of the interview. Smiles and frowns decorate the faces of the men workers and, as one remarked: "This is a greater blow to party solidarity here than when Benjamin Heaton was promised the Federal judgeship by Senator Watson and was thrown down, or the time that Frank Rawley gave the chicken dinner at Crooked Lake in celebration of his appointment as Federal prohibition director, which did not conic."

RESERVATION TALK IS HALTED (Continued From Page 1) sion,ends, when the full conference will begin the second reading of the reservations M. Roliu. representing Belgium, made a definite proposition for amending the fifth reservation. “I think we could accept the fifth reservation,” he said, "if it Mere made to read that the court cannot render advisory opinions in cases where the United States’ claims has an interest." That amendment apparently would permit the cour. to decide whether a United States claim to interest in any proposition referred t,o the court for an opinion had any basis in fact. The discussion, which ended today, was on the first reading of the American reservations. Results Summarized President Van Eysingn summarized the results of the conference to date as follows: # 1. It had demonstrated the unanimous sympathy and desire of the court signatories to accept the reservations. 2. It was unanimously recognized that the United States desired equalily and all were disposed to grant that and some even were willing to grant a privileged position. 3. The conference was unanimous in believing the fifth reservation merely was intended to obtain equal itv- hut its drafting permitted a wider interpretation which might have grave Influence upon the constitutional rights of both the league and the court. Canadian in Attack Sir George Foster of Canada and Sir Francis Bell of New Zealand both attacked the reservations. In a caustic address, Sir George Foster demanded that the conference examine some actual consequences of accepting the fifffi reservation. He declared that it could not be overlooked that the United States, by legislation, had enacted a mandatory act declaring that The Hague Court should not be deliver and advisory opinion without its consent. This, he said, the league itself would not dream of doing. Sir George pictured the situation which would arise were the reservation accepted. He sail) that it must then constantly be borne in mind that whenever The Hague court was asked to give an advisory opinion its first duty would be to ascertain whether the United States was interested.

M hat Is the United States? This information, he emphasized, was available only from the United States itself. If the reservation provided that the President could determine the matter of interest it would boa different matter, Sir George declared. But he pointed out that the court must get its answer rot from some designated source, but front "The* United States” itself. Hence, he said, it must first be decided what constitutes the United States in this case. After the court had received its statement from the United States that it was interested, he continued, the court did not have the right to decide whether the claim of the United States was just. He said that as a result of this, the reservation would .mean the utmost delay, which in certain cases would be fatal. He declared that the whole experience of the league demonstrated the necessity of quick decision and action. Man to Man Sir George expressed himself as willing to go to any extent necessary lo assure the Unted States equality', even though nations within the league were carrying burdens and obligations which the United States did not carry. He said he was certain that if the United States found that it had asked more than equality the quetsion could be discussed with the United States in man to man fashion and an adjustment could he reached. President Van Eysinga announced that the discussion of the first reading of the American reservations probably would be ended today and that a committee would be appointed to continue the work during the meeting of the league assembly here next tveek.

SOME DO AID AND SOME DO NOT AT FEDERAL BUILDING Employes Named Through Senators Help Campaigns Financially. Although Federal employee in Indianapolis are not contributing 10 per cent of their annual wages to aid the campaign of Senators James 12. Watson and Arthur Robinson, certain members of the Government's staff whose appointments are on direct recommendation from the Senators, have and are contributing heavily, it has been learned. It is understood that all officials at the Federal Bldg., except those holding civil service jobs, contribute under the unwritten law of "give and take." According to information from Washington the Senators and Republican State Chairman Clyde Walb met there in June, chief of the questions discussed being the levying of 10 iter cent on employes' wages for campaign finances. Officials and employes deny that they have been approached for the assessment. However, the higher-ups at the building, declare it is a matter of etiquette and that under a gentlemen's agreement they voluntarily contribute to the fund, the fact being that noncontribution would be checked carefully. "Hardly Wise” "Os course, n person can realize that after being put into office on recommendation of thg Senators it hardly would lie wise not to contribute,” one official said. Ho admitted making substantial contributions. Prohibition agents, employes pf the clerk's office, and others at the building declared they never had been approached, and many declared they had no political affiliations and were not contributing to any political funds. Denial by Meredith. Along with other political gossip In the Government building comes United States Marshal Linus P. Meredith’s denial that he has heard lie will not he reappointed Oct. 1, the expiration of his four-year term. Rumor lo (his effect is current in Republican political circles. Meredith, according to information, has become a load "too heavy" for Watson since the W. P. Squibb whiskey theft in the Federal Bldg. At the other end of the building, United States District Attorney Albert Ward does his work and remains silent on reports of his moves to tender his resignation as district attorney soon.

Merrick, assistant pro hibition director -of the Thirteenth district, who, with Administrator E. U. Yeliowley, visited the Indianapolis enforcement offices today. Both men agreed that in many districts the failure of the Government and State to prosecute cases was one of the weakest points in prohibition enforcement. They also assailed the constant dismissing of important cases. The two officials also admitted the bootlegger has a great edge on enforcement agencies, since he can redistill denatured alcohol and present it to customers as “good stuff." Sees Them Drunk In explaining his remark about the nonsuccess of prohibition, Merrick said he saw on an average of "one drunken man a week on the streets.” “But in the next five years the country will get drier and drier," he said. Yeliowley declared “great strides" were being made in enforcement *ti Indiana. Court congestion, which holds up trials and prosecutions, is not evident in Indiana, Yeliowley and Merrick said. Work Fast A. R.’ Harris, Indiana dry chief, stated that if bootleggers are not given their proper punishment in the State courts, they will get It in Federal courts. in handling denatured alcohol, Merrick and Yeliowley declared ‘loggers, now can obtain completely denatured alcohol, redistill It and sell it to customers, within four hours. • "Its poison, but those who drink take the bootleggers hint of ’good stuff’ before they’ll listen to chemists and -agents who tell them it is poison,” Merrick said. "Ninety-nine per cent, of the booze confiscated in this district over a period of months was tested and found to he poisonous,” Yellowley said said. Births Bo.ts Rusrpll *n<! Era Mote.
