SERIOUS SNAGS MENACE BANK REFORM BILL Deposits Guarantee Proves Stumbling Block, and Delays Passage. BY KAY TUCKER Time* ‘-nrrlal Writer uwTON, June 9.—Power vested in President Roosevelt during the period of the banking emergency may continued longer than was planned originally as a result of the prospective failure of the Gla.ssSteagall reform measure. House and senate conferees still are at odds over the Vendenberg amendment for a temporary deP'lsit.s guarantee, and the time for ironing out differences is getting short. President Roosevelt has indicated his opposition to this feature. although he has not said he would veto the bill if it reaches him. The Vandenberg clause guarani ees all deposits of and below $2,500 at 100 per cent pending operation of the provision for a permanent guarantee. Failure Is Surprise, Failure to enaet the measure will be one. of the real surprises of the session, in view of lessons learned during the banking crisis and from the investigation of J. P. Morgan A- Cos. The bill divorces banks from their affiliate companies and places restrictions upon such operations, in an effort, to prevent speculative use of depositors’ f unds. It also forces great “private" banks like J. P. Morgan Sc Cos , to choose whether they want to be a bank or an investment house. They can not be both. Another difference agitating the conferees is the provision under which non-member state banks may take advantage of the guarantee system. Under t lie senate bill, qualifications for non-member participation are drastic, while the house measure makes it comparatively easy to qualify. Protects Small Ranks The house insists that its system prevail, on the ground that otherwise the small state banks would be sw’ept, out of business. Much of the power conferred on the controller of the currency and other regulatory agencies by the pending measure are enjoyed by the President, or officials to whom he delegates his authority, under the emergency banking law that ratified executive orders issued during the March 4-11 crisis. But that system is rather slow and cumbersome in operation, and does not pretend to get at the root of existing evils and weaknesses. DRY CLAIMS ACCOUNT OF ARREST IN ERROR Not Barred From Practice in Court, Thomas Asserts. Owen D. Thomas, Seventh ward dry chairman, Thursday pointed out several errors in an account of his arrest published Wednesday. It was stated that he was chairman of the Fifth precinct, Seventh ward, instead of ward chairman. Hr was arrested on charges of assault and battery and resisting an officer after an altercation at the Fifth precinct polling place, 329 North Liberty street, on Tuesday. The charges were filed by Joseph Tragresser, deputy sheriff, who asserted Thomas, an attorney, and other dry workers were crowding entrance to the polls in such a manner as to interfere with voting. Arraigned Wednesday in muncipal court before Paul Rochford. judge pro tern., Thomas argued with the court regarding a change of venue, and Rochford suggested Thomas refrain from practice in that court pending disposition of the case, However. Rochford did not order suspension, and Thomas’ status as an attorney is not changed. Trial was set for June 17. TELEGRAPH MESSENGER PRACTICE IS FLAILED Use as Delivery Boys for Advertising Assailed by Editors. The uniformed telegraph messenger should maintain the status of the bearer of important tidings and no! be a delivery boy for • throwaway’’ advertising circulars, the National Editorial Association convention at the Claypool was told Thursday. In a resolution asking the association to call this to the attention of telegraph companies it was pointed out that housewives are drawn from their tasks to the front door with, the expectations of receiving an important message. Instead, they are handed some advertising dodger, the resolution said, in asserting that the uniform of the messenger boy should be regarded as the symbol of a harbinger of vital tidings.

Starvation Wage Charge Denied by Brewery Heads Humors that a 75-cent daily wage scale was being paid to workmen cleaning up the old Indianapolis Brewing Company's plant. 1300 Madison avenue, was denied today by John J. Darmody, one cf the heads of the new firm

"The lowest we re paying any of the men working for us is SI a day. Some are getting $2 a day," Darmody said. The firm soon will start manufacture of 3.2 beer. Reports were received by The Times that thirty-five worken cleaning up debris and old machinery were being paid at ihe rate of 75 cents for between 8 and 10 hours' vor ’ daily. "I don't know what I'm getting. Boss,” one Negro told a Times reporter, “for they ain't paid me yet." Darmody admitted that wages of $2 a day and as low as SI were being paid only while the rehabilitation work of the old brewery was being earned on.

HUNTRESS WHO FEARS DONKEY SLAYS LIONS

New York Woman Kills King and Queen of Beasts —Then Gives Way to Tears

BY EARL SPARLING limrs v oerial Writer NEW YORK. June 9.—Sally Harfield grew up in New York. The wildest spot she knew of was Central Park. Then she got married. .She married James L. Clark, big game hunter, curator of preparations for the American Museum of Natural History. That was in 1918. Things began hapliening immediately. Asa sideline Mr. Clark ran, and still does, the James L. Clark studios. Some wives help their husbands by not being afraid of housework, others by not making an i.ssue of blonde stenographers, a few by trying not to talk too much. Mrs. Sally Clark decided to learn taxidermy so she could direct the studios while her husband was busy elsewhere Unusual work for a young woman whose acquaintance was limited to dogs and cats—and mice, of which same she was in fnortal terror. But this state of circumscribed acquaintanceship did not last long. In 1922 Mr. Clark announced he was going on another hunting trip to Africa. He announced furthermore that he intended to take Mrs. Clark with him. This announcement, one gathers, was made as offhandedly as some other husband would state that, he intended to take his wife to a baseball game. Said Mr. Clark, ‘‘You had better go down and get an outfit.” tt tt tt WHAT shall I get?” inquired Mrs. Clark, who had never been in the woods or the field, or even in t> , country. “You v.on’t need much in particular.’’ said her husband, “except riding clothes.” This was the point at which Mrs. Sally Clark should have up and said that she was scared of horses, that she had never been near one in her life, that riding was completely out of her line. Instead, she kept quiet and went down next day to the horse tailor her husband suggested. At the horse tailor’s Mrs. Clark learned there was more to getting a pair of breeches fitted than she had ever imagined. There was a big dappled papier-mache horse standing in the middle of the floor and the tailor said, “You can mount (he dummy now Mrs. Clark, for the final measurements.” The lady taxidermist looked at the tailor. Then she looked at the papier-mache horse. She was game. Which side one got on a horse she had no idea. She made a quick choice, picked the wrong side made a leap and a heave. The result was that she wont completely over and landed flat on the floor. "My word!” exclaimed the tailor. "How did that happen?” Mrs. Clark sat there on the floor and began laughing. "It happened because I’ve never been on a liorse in my life.” The tailor laughed and she laughed. It w r as agreed that the incident would not be mentioned to Mrs. Clark's husband. She went home, applied liniment and said nothing. ana COMPLICATIONS developed some four or five months later when the hunting party had reached Africa. The complications centered around a donkey, an ugly-looking little brute which it seemed Mrs. Clark was expected to ride for the duration of the expedition. “Maybe you can imagine my emotions,” reminisced Mrs. Clark, sitting in her drawing room and still chuckling at it these years later. “There were five white men in the party. I was the only woman. of course. “I hadn't breathed a word to anybody that I couldn't ride. Nobody had asked me. I was dressed up iike a veteran, so they just took it for granted that I could, including my husband.” Picture it. There were 150 porters. a regular army. The expedition was ready to set forth. Mrs. Sally Clark was supposed to ride at the head of it and she knew not how to ride. "Well something had to be done. That was certain. I discovered one of the boys was detailed to take care of my mount. I got hold of him and motioned to him to bring that donkey along for a walk. "When we were out of sight, I made some more signs. What I meant was’ ’Now, you show me how to get on and off this animal. “Finally, he understood. It was terrible. I couldn't speak a word of the language. It all had to be done with signs. "After I’d learned how to get on and off. I made signs and did pantomime. ’Tomorrow.’ I told him over and over, ‘you walk here, like this. See. like this. And don’t you dare get out of feach of this donkey.’ ” a tt tt SO that is how Mrs Clark started off on the morrow to see Africa. Four miles she rode that

"Were spending a lot of money now and will spend a lot more. When the brewery is running, we'll not pay any man less than $5 a day." Darmody promised. Workers at the brewery declared that it would be unionized and the union scale for bottlers and apprentices would be paid later. Tire union scale in bottling companies is 525 for forty-eight hours’ work. Apprentices receive as low as $lB a week. Efforts are being made by union officials from Cincinnati to organize the brewery trade and bottlers of the city, with the restoration of beer.

first day, with the black boy trudging along at the donkey's head. If he budged from his position the lady huntress flicked her whip at him and made the most threatening motions. At the end of four miles she knew several things about riding, chiefly that she could not ride another step. "I got off and started walking. We covered eight miles that day. I rode four and walked four. The four miles on that donkey all I'’ saw was his ears. It was the walking that saved me. It kept me from getting too stiff from those first four awful miles.” Os all that has happened to Mrs. Sally Clark that first ride sticks most in her memory. A few weeks later she was hunting lions in N'goro-N’goro, an enormous extinct volcano crater filled with a hundred thousand head of game, but lion hunting proved tame compared with donkey riding. The first day in N’goro-N'goro the party spotted seventeen lions in one pack. Within three weeks they had sighted sixty-five in all. "But I didn’t get a lion. We spent five months in N’goro--N'goro. but I didn't get a lion. Neither did my husband. Other members of the party got nine. “You see, we always drew straws for positions and it just happened the lions didn't break our way.” Not until 1928 did the lady get her lion. Then she got two at once. Also a rhinoceros. That was during a second trip to Africa with her husband. The husband played no part in the proceedings, however. ana THE museum party,” recounted Mrs. Clark, “was camped about 400 miles in from Nairobi. I got the idea I wanted to see what I could do on my own. I went back to Nairobi with one of the supply trucks and outfitted my own expedition. They say I am the only woman wno ever outfitted her own expedition. I got fourteen boys, a white guide, two trucks and a touring car. We were going into a waterless belt and had to carry 150 gallons of water. # I stayed out for a month, shooting for two weeks until my license ran out, taking pictures the rest of the time.” The lions? Well, at first the lady W'anted to try hunting lions with a bow and arrows. The guide drew' the line at that. There was additional difficulty about just what kind of a lion she wanted. They spotted sixty-eight of them before she deigned to lift her gun. She deigned to lift it only when she found two together, both

When summer blossoms, city dwellers begin to dream of vacation, freedom, far places, adventure. It is their interlude between work and bitter routine. But to a few others adventure is their job, their stock in trade, and in a series of six articles Earl Sparling will write of some of these women who have had strange experiences. In the first story, which follows, he talks with Mrs. James L. Clark, who killed two lions without reloading—and cried.

males, feasting on a zebra's carcass. Now it seems to be something of a well-known fact that to try to shoot two healthy male lions at a time is a dangerous stunt. A wounded lion becomes dangerous. The guide apparently did not take much to the lady’s ideas of lion hunting. “He kept telling me to shoot, but I didn't want to miss such a chance. They were black-maned lions, very rare. I insisted on getting closer. “The guide kept saying he wasn’t going to be responsible. I kept on creeping in. We got to within eighty yards. Then I took aim. “I aimed at the spine of one animal, just back of the neck. I fired and he went down. I can still hear myself counting. One, two, three . ... I counted ten.

thinging. Then they were dead and I started crying. "Some way I always cry after a kill. I was told later that I was the only person on record who had ever killed two male lions with a right and left shot.”

LABOR DEFERS APPROVAL FOR RECOVERY ACT Unions' Plans Are Held Up 'Until Measure Is Passed and Signed. BY MAX STERN Times social *- riter WASHINGTON. June 9.—Union labor, who.se stakes in the forthi coming recovery act arc of tremendous proportions, will withhold announcement of its plants until the act is passed and signed. A two-day conference of the American Federation of Labor leaders here, terms of the act were praised warmly and spokesmen for the big international unions described the benefits that will come to labor if it is administered fairly. They insisted, however, upon labor j representation in the administra- ! tion and upon labor’s viewpoint in its execution. The federation leaders declared that the act must be kept simple and that it be handed to the President minus amendments that will weaken its purposes of increasing buying power, conserving the rights of collective bargaining, absorbing the unemployed into inI dustry. and lifting the American ' living standard. A minimum code of fair competition was undertood to have been adopted. This is said to include the following:The principle of the thirty-hour week for all industry, subject to modification in particular industries that require it. The principle is recognized in title 2 of the bill, which provides that the $3,300,000.000 public works program shall be carried out under this principle: Adequate wages for organized and minimum wages for unorganized workers; Abolition of child labor. Abolition of night work for women and minors. Unemployment reserves. A dismissal wage, and other principles. General Hugh Johnson, attorney Donald Richberg, and others told the unionists the purposes of the act. SALESMEN IN SESSION Business Men's Assurance Company of Kansas Holds Meeting.
