Six Local Democratic Lawyers Anxious to Debate League of Nations or Any Other Campaign Issues

W. A. McINERNY. AMERICAN BANKERS INDORSE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Pledge Aid to Railway Corporation Organized to Help Carriers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Blanket endorsement of the federal reserve system coupled with a pledge to aid the National Railway Equipment corporation, organized to help the carriers obtain equipment, marked the conclusion Thursday of group meetings of the American Bankers' association convention. As an outgrowth of the convention, however, bankers and others from cotton states took steps preliminary to the organization of a $12,000,000 crop export financing corporation to meet the situation which led to numerous appeals from cotton growers for government relief. The corporation will be formend under the Edge act and start operations with an initial paid in capital anl surplus of $6,000,000. Unstinted Praise. The federal reserve system was given unstinted praise by the National bankers group in resolutions adopted at their final meeting which the approval of the equipment corporation, and the pledge to go before the state legislatures, where necessary, to obtain revision of laws prohibting [prohibiting] investment of trust funds in such securities was voted by the savings bank section. The action was based on the increased values given all railroad securities through creation of the equipment corporation, the resolution said. Indorsement of the federal reserve, which included approval of its administration, brought the National bankers again in sharp opposition to the stand taken by the state bankers who yesterday denounced several phases of the reserve board's work, eaders [leaders] in the the two groups of bankers believed Thursday night the differences between the two sections might come to light when the report of the resolutions committee reached the floor of the convention Friday. All resolutions adopted in sectional meetings will be considered by the association committee and final action be taken by the convention as a whole The national bankers elected officers Thursday, choosing H. H. McKee, president of the National Capital bank, Washington. D. C. as president, oJhn [John] G. Lonsdale, president of the National bank of Commerce, St. Louis, as vice president, and Waldo Newcomer, president of the National Exchange bank of Baltimore, chairman of the executive committee. RESERVE BOARD WILL ASSIST U. S. FARMERS DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 21.—Assurances that the federal reserve board will cooperate with the farmers to the fulest [fullest] extent by granting longer credit on cotton notes was given this morning by Judge W. H. Ramsey, federal agent for the federal reserve board in the eleventh district, in addressing a state-wide conference on ginners, bankers and business men here. Judge Ramsey asserted that the financial condition of the nation is as good as it had ever been. RELEASE JEWEL SUSPECT. NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Harry C. Toback, arrested several days ago as a suspect in connection with the $500,000 Caruso gem theft, was discharged in court Thursday. The state recommended that the defendant be exonerated, after investigation had been made of his attempt to sell two women jewels which he was alleged to have represented as part of the singer's collection.

Republican Effort to Befog League Issue Gets Stinging Rebuke from Chairman Grube

Will Debate Entire War Administration or Compare Peace Administration With That of Taft. Declaring Republican Chairman Fred C. Klein's evasion of his invitation to debate the League of Nations issue a subterfuge, and the effort to introduce extraneous matter an attempt to befog the minds of voters, Democratic County Chairman Harry E. Grube last night took up the gauntlet thrown down by the republican chairman, and in behalf of the six democratic lawyers who had volunteered to debate the League in behalf of democracy, extended his former challenge to take in the entire democratic war record. Chairman Klein's letter to Chairman Grube is published elsewhere in this paper today (see page four), and Chairman Grube's reply, which is self-explanatory, follows in full. The new line of debate in order to leave no opportunity for further evasion by the republicans, especially proposes a comparison of the Wilson administration of the part of the United States in the world war, with the McKinley administration of the Spanish-American skirmish, and a comparison of the Wilson administration, behind which democracy stands without schism and that of the last republican administration, under Pres't Taft, preceding the 1912 republican disrption. Consults With Speakers. The answer was prepared by Chairman Grube yesterday after a consultation with Samuel Parker, Charles P. Drummond, William A. Mclnerny. Samuel B. Pettengill, Dan Pyle and Isaac Kane Parks, all of which announced themselves ready for the extended fray. Mr. Pyle, pronounced "dry," is especially anxious to debate Gov. Cox's "wet" and "dry" record in comparison with that of Sen. Harding, a matter that

Statement

SAMUEL PARKER. ENGLISH CABINET DISCUSSES THREAT OF RAIL WORKERS Fail to Take Action Regarding Plans Made to Government. LONDON, Oct. 21.—The cabinet discussed Thursday the grave situation arising out of the threat of the railroad and transport workers to strige to force the government to negotiate with the miners. Whether and decision was reached was not disclosed up to 10:30 o'clock. Two grave questions are evercising the political and indistrial world. larst, to what extent the labor leaders and losing control of of the workers; second, whether a political e risis and an appeal to the country will develop out of the miners dispute. Exerts Efforts. It is stited that James Henry Thomas, en. secy, of the National Union of Railwaymen has exerted the greatest efforts to get the action taken by the railwaymen postponed for a few days, but that his influence was over born--. Premier Lloyd-George n;is in informal conservation with some of the leaders Thursday but little hope seems to be entertained that the government will recede from its position, insisting upon an increased emtput. cr submission of the dispute to an independent tribunal as a condition fer an increase in wages. AeuJon is Surprle Even had the government inclined to recede from this position it is pointed cut, it could hardly do snow in the face of the railw ivmeri's threat. Undoubtedly the solidarity of the workers as shown by the notion of the railway an-1 transport workers, comes somewhat as a surpprise to the public, because th" miners strike is uppopular with almost the entire community. The seeming inconsistency is explained by some of the labor leaders as due to the universal belief among the workers that the government under pressure of bi business interest had decided that a halt must be called to the continual in-r is-- m wages. llohert Smillie. the miner's Je-: ler. speaking Ir.

! ARMOURS IMGTED FOR PROFITEERING Action Follows Secret Investigation by Government Agents. NEW YORK. Oct. Cl. The federal grand jury Thursday, as ther esuit of a secret investigation conducted bv an assistant of the at torney weneral's office, returned an j indictment against Armour & Company, Chicago packers and against the officers of the company individually, charging them with profitterIng in violation of the Leer act. The company officers indicted include: J. Odgcn Armour, president: S. Eison White, vice president; Herbert A. Phillips, manager of tae dressed sheep department in Chicago; Arthur H. Vanpelt, district supt. in Ney York. More Indictments. Indictments were also returned against Charles A. Meyer an assistant in the office of vice president White and Wm. A.

May and June, the meat it is charged t ost Armour 7 Company, $ 1 S.4 6 per 100 pounds; that the lowest it was sold for was S2:i and the highest All the sales were made to customers in Manhattan and the Lronx. ' Tho investigation on which the indictment was based covered eight weeks, during which period it was found, according to the indictment, that the average telling price of the entire shipment of New Zealand lamb disposed of by Armour efc Company was 125.17 per hundred pounds and the average pet profit to the company was 16,61. CHICAGO, j,-t. 2L Declaring that with 'Mir lamb business as a whole showing a los it seems a rather bitter joko to indict us fcr making too murh money," officials of Armour and Company late Thursday issued a statement commenting em the federal inlictm. nts returne d in New- Yetrk today, charging profiteering. The statement follows: "We are at a less to understand the New York Indictments. The reasonableness cf promts cannot be judged by consideration .f a few transactions. We made some money through th'j iale of New Zealand lambs. Imt wo did not make e-nuenh on them to offset the los.s.-s wer sustained in the sale e-f domestic lambs and with our lamb business ;us a whole showing a loss, it seem rather a bitter joke to indict us for making teo much p.oney.
