B-2 = BATISHSCHOLAR INSPECT LBRARY Systems Used in Library. of Congress to Be Noted by Englishman. A group of eminent Brtish scholars arrived in Washington last night to in- form themselves about library practices in one of the greatest storehouses for books the modern world has known. At the Congressional Library, an infant institution compared with the Bodlelan Library of Oxford Univer- sity, England, with which the group is | affliated, the visitors will concern them- selves with the storage of and free ac- cess to the great mass of books which a cdopyright deposit library provides. Three Baronets in Group. In the group are three baronets, Sir | Frederick George Kenyon, director and | Pprincipal librarian of the British Mu- scum, founded in 1759; Sir Henry Miers, president of the Museum’s As- sociation of Great Britain, and Sir Edmund Kerehever Chambers, leading | Shakes) rean authority. As members | of th> ™odielan - Library Commission, which was appointed to study the prob- lems presented by the prospect of a new building for the Bodleian Library at Ox- ford, they are visiting this country under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundatior Sir Henry Miers is chairman of the delegation and others in the group are Lady Chambers, George Norman Clark, British histosian: Henry R. F. Harrod, an economist already an authority on gold and banking despite his youth, and Kennéth Sisam, secretary of the delegation and one of the managers of the Oxford University Press. The visitors rested today at the Cos- mos Club, where they are being enter- tained, and tomorrow and Tuesday will be in conference with officials of the Library of Congress. At 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday they will be entertained at luncheon by the British Ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay. Dr. Bishop Conducts Party. Dr. William W. Bishop, librarian of | the University of Michigan, is conduct- ing the party. _The visitors spent sev- eral hours in Baltimore at the library of Johns Hopkins University before coming to Washington. Dr. Bishop de- scribed the tour as the most thorough | preparatory investigation ever conducted in connection with library projects. | Three of the Oxonian delegates have been in United States before, Sir | Henry Miefs, Sir Frederic Kenyon and Mr. Sisam. Sir Henry visited North America during the Alaskan gold rush, an adventurs to which his “A Visit to | the Yukon Gold Fields” (1801) bears witness. TWO SAVINGS ACCOUNTS OF JUDGE CRATER FOUND Deposits $11,000 Tend Weaken Theory Jurist Was Robber Victim. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 20.— The twisted threads of the Crater case were tangled some more today with the reve- lation that the missing New York Su-| preme Court justice opened two savings bank accounts and put $11,000 into them a few days before he disappeared on_ August 6 One account contained about $6,000 and the other about $5,000. This information, revealed today by the district attorney, was believed to be connected with the judge's with- drawal of large sums from other bank eccounts at about the same time. The discovery of the new accounts tended to weaken the assumption that the judge was beset by robbers, or that he had a Jarge sum of money when he @isappeared.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The most important event of last | week in Washington has passed almost | unnoticed. It was the taking hold by Eugene Meyer, jr., of the Federal Re- |serve Board policies. | With the business situation in its most delicate stage of recuperation the credit | machinery of the Nation is easily the | most sensitive factor, requiring con- stant vigilance. The marts of finance |have been uneasy about credit condi- tions, evidencing their uncertainty by |a continued belief that the period of | easy money was not to be long-lived. The most essential thing from the | standpoint of the Federal Reserve Board | has besn to endeavor to impress the | banks of the country as well as the in- | vestment world that low rates for | money were not only justified but would | be_tully supported by the board. | Early last Spring when Federal Re- |serve Board officials were trying to a: |sure the business world that mon | would remain easy there was little evi- dence of any response. Many bankers preferred to keep their surplus funds in the call money market at rates which were below 3 per cent rather than buy gilt-edged bonds. Impression Materializes. The consequence was that it took several months for the impression to become definite that money would re- |main easy for a long time to come. | This Autumn there appears to have been ome recognition of this fact because the banks have been heavy purchasers | of bonds and the call money market has |gone even lower, showing the vast | amount of surplus money that has been | hesitant and cautious. | The low money rates have at last | produced a better market for good |boncs and this means that from now on there will be a good deal of refinanc- ing as well as new financing. The dis- tribution of these surplus funds, there- fore, will tend on the one hand to re- {4uce the fixed charges of companies | that are paying high interest rates on | old obligations and will furnish onew capital ‘or a needed expansion for more | S B Children’s Status ~ .

NEW YORK, September 20 (N.A.| | ¥.A).—1t it's romance you are looking | | for it is in the wide smoky harbor of | New York that yowll find it, for there | come ships from all the seven seas with | their salty tales of distant adventure, of storm and shipwreck and of the | strange, far places of the globe. Nor is it on the great gay liners that | .o you'll find the best of these tales. The little, battered ships that steam slowly in, sometimes so wearily, are really the ships of high adventure, though the | men aboard them may not know it or | may not care. Adventure to you might | be commonplace to them, and prob- ably is. My only adventuring now comes | through my talks with these seafarers, over the slow, strong drift from our | pipes, when I have sought them out on their smelly, shabby, thrilling old sea wagons away across the harbor at Staten Island, in the olly Jersey docks or at some dingy Brooklyn pier. Mass Cry of Terror. It is of these men and their ships and thelr wanderings that I propose to write once a week. Some of the stories I tell will seem incredible. of them, I believe, will be true. For the sea is a place of strange, wild hap- penings. “We were swinging at anchor at a| little port in Southeastern China," ex- plained the first mate of the tramp freighter Skule, now lying, salt-whit- ened and tired, at a busy pier in Staten Island. “I was in my cabin, writing Suddenly theré arose a strange, It grew louder and louder.

His eyes, ignoring the busy life of New York harbor, were fastened on the shore with a singular intentness. And perhaps with alarm, it occurred to me later. “See that boy,” one of the ship's of- ficers had said, pointing him out to me. “He’s 26, and the time he's spent ashore a few hours.” Then he told me the story of this sailor, Bucigalo. Bucigalo was born on the sea, on a salling vessel. His mother was cook on | that ship. His father was a sailor| whose love of the sea was a religion. | He wanted the boy to be a sailor and to know nothing else. “And so he proceeded to terrorize the child with fantastic tales of the land,” the officer told me. “The father painted pictures of terror and suffering and hnrr;y‘r, of misery and sickness and death.
