Justice Siddons celebrated his sixty- sixth birthday anniversary on Novem- ber 21. He had been in good health of late, from all outward appearances. It is known he was much affected by the sudden death of Charles F. Carusi, with whom he had been associated in the conduct of National University. Several weeks ago he presided at a memciial service for Mr. Carusi. Namea ¢o Court in 1915. Appointed to the District Supreme Cour. in 1915, Justice Siddons had made a brilliant record on the bench. One of his notable decisions was his so-called “family car” opinion, in which he held that the head of &| family is responsible for his son or other members of the family who operate the “family automobile.” This decision stood the test of appeals in the higher courts. Justice Siddons was prominent as an educator. He was a senior member of the faculty of the Law School of Na- tional University, to whieh he was first appointed 32 years ago., He was pro- fessor of constitutional law and of law of evidence. Recently he presided at the annual comencement ceremonies of the university in Memorial Continental Hall. His first public post of prominence was that of District Commissioner, to which he was appointed in 1913 by President Wilson. At that time he was & member of the law firm of Rals- ton, Siddons & Richardson. He always was active in civic affairs of the com- munity. Born in London, Born in London, England, November 21, 1864, of American parents, Justice Siddons was a great-grandson of the famous English actress, Sarah Siddons. He came to America, at the age of 10 and had been a resident” of “the | District of Columbia since 1878. | He received his early education at| home. He studied law at the old Co- lumbian (now George Washington) University, receiving his bachelor and master degrees in 1887. After graduation he was employed for several years in the Treasury De- partment, later beginning the private practice of law. He served at one time as one of the commissioners on uni- form State laws for the District of Co- lumbia and was a member of the Com- mittee of the National Divorce Con- gress which framed a uniform divorce law for the various States.

Served Nine Months. ‘The Ohioan became chairman of the old commission by virtue of his post as Secretary of War when the watxr power act was passed in 1920 and held the office for nine months. Prominent among his acts was the issuance of the Niagara Falls license, which led to a valuation dispute not yet settled. ‘The Appalachian suit is the result of a commission order warning the com- pany not to build without first accept- ing a Federal license. The license it offered contained provisions for recap- tura at the end of 50 years and for val- uation of the plant by the commission. The company contends that New River is not navigable and that the commis- sion has no jurisdiction, or, at the most, a very limited authority to protect the - flow into the Kanahwa and Ohio Rivers. The commission must answer by July 10, but the case probably will not be heard until Fall. The two important legal posts in the Federal agency, gen- eral counsel and solicitor, have been vacant for six months, but both prob- ably will be filled by July 1.

By the Associated Press. ROME, June 19.—Search for a formula to satisfy the Pope's demand for an “apology,” and the question of the church’s alleged political activity were stated officially today to be two of the points at issue between Italy and the Vatican. Apology Demand Answered. ‘The Pope's imperative demand for an apology Wwithin 24 hours, it was said, was answered with assurances th violence and insults to the Pope were being investigated and some of the guilty had been arrested and would be punished. The Vatican, in replying, still asked for what is described as “reassuring words,” but the word apology, it is as. serted, no longer figures in the nego- tiations. One of the government's main points of protest arose from speeches by the hich, it was asserted, attempted to try the case in the court of world opinion. Ban Blamed for Trouble. Another of the principal points was that the Pope forbade processions and therefore was responsible, in the gov- ernment’s view, for a certain amount of violence in the Naples district, where the people demanded these outdoor celebrations. It was remarked in this connection that processions often were molested before the Fascists came to power, but since then they have never been both- ered, and the theory is advanced that it was the Pope's ban which caused the trouble. An incidental protest was that Catho- lic action clubs were installed and held meetings in the Papal ‘“‘Chancelleria” Building which is extraterritorial. It was asked by officials what America or any other country would think if the Fascists held meetings in the Italian embassy. Many Permitted to Reopen. ‘The government already has per- mitted the reopening of many clubs which are assumed to be free from politics and which never conflicted with the Fascist theory that youths should be trained and supervised in play by the Fascist party. The Vatican insists that none of the clubs were itical, but unofficial indications are the Pope is willing to safeguard others from any possible tendency toward politics. ‘The Pope already has transferred Catholic Action and its subsidiaries to the direction of the bishops who, when appointed, must be approved by the government and must take a special oath of allegiance to the King. In this transfer the Pope left in abeyance the status of the Central Board of Catholic Action, the politics of which is in dis- pute, and that is regarded as a con- ciliatory feature. Negotisiions are continuing through diplomatic notes, but officials refuse to discuss unofficial conversations, al- though it is assumed they also are pro- ceeding. PRIMATE IN SECLUSION.

It was understood to represent the attitude of the other members of the cabinet. While insisting that he lamented the Cardinal’s expulsion, the President said he hoped the prelate would “voluntarily stay outside of Spain for some time.” The government did not reveal what steps it would take in reply to the for- mal protest of the Holy See against Cardinal Segura’s expulsion.

STONE, Btaff Correspondent of The Star HOT SPRINGS, Va, June 19.—Re- cent cuts in interest rates by many banks all over the United States were Jjustified by O. Howard Wolfe, cashier of the Philadelphia National Bank, in a most comprehensive address before the second session of the District of | Columbla Bankers' Associations here to- day. Following this address, the con- vention was absorbed with important reports on assoclated activities during the past yeer, Washington Chapter, American Institute of Banking, being accorded special attentién. Speaking on “Interest on Deposits and Methods of Computation® the Philadelphia banker plaged banking in an unusual light by summing up these peculiar facts bearing on interest rates: “No other business is compelled to shut up shop if it ceases to earn money. “No other business is so restricted jand regulated by law. “No other business has the price of its product fixed by a law that ignores the cost of what it mus. buy. “No other business, excepting rail- roads, which compete with automobiles, competes with private individuals as banks do in seeking public investments such as bonds. + “No other business is more highly | competitive, and finally “No other business is so foolish as to bid the same price for raw material, lwhet.h‘cr it is able to sell its product or not. Beginning to See Light. “Fortunately we are beginning to see the light,” he continued. - “From one end of the country to the other the past 12 months have seen marked reductions in interest rates. In nearly every case the most hopeful sign is that these changes have come about as the result of rules agreed upon by clearing house assoclations. That, I think, is more significant than the reduction itself, because it gives promise of a return to common sense and a disposition to stay put. If any of you bankers in Wash- ington think you have done a novel or crastic thing in reducing rates, I would suggest you take a look around the coun- try. Your city and mine were among the last to take action. “Let me warn you the Federal reserve authorities at the present time are very properly, in my judgment, considering a tightening up of regulations govern- ing time deposits. I am telling no taks out of school when I say that too large, far too large, a proportion of time money lsrllm demand deposit. Let any banker refuse to pay time or savings accounts when asked to do s0; let him insist upon the observance of the 90-day clause, and he may as well close up his doors. “At the Bank Management Conference held in your city in February, I made the statement that the bank paying more than 3 per cent on savings at | present s in one of three positions: Either it is losing money, or it is paying the interest out of the earnings on cap- ital and surplus, or else it is badly frozen, becaus: none but frozen loans are yielding 6 per cent at the present time.

By the Assotlated Press. ‘The Government is attempting to col- lect $21,339 from Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, Los Angeles evangelist, on income which it claims she failed to re- port for 1926, 1927 and 1928. Mrs. McPherson has challenged the Government’s findings and a hearing has been set for next Wednesday befor the Board of Tax Appeals. The evan- gelist 'contended she had reported all of her income which was taxable. A large portion of the money not re- ported was contributed by Angelus Temple, of which Mrs. McPherson is astor, for use in her defense follow- l;gs her mysterious disappearance in 1926. 3 For 1926, Mrs. McPherson reported $8,110 income which the Government estimated at $42,368. She reported $9,- 712 in 1927 to which the Government added $9,523. For 1928 she reported $18,668, which the Government in- creased to $107,395. She was assessed $544 on the amount she reported. The records showed $31,658 was ex- pended in 1926 and $9,523 in 1927 in defending her against possible criminal prosecution. When it was reported an indictment would be sought, she sald an appeal was made in her behalf to Angelus Temple for funds. She con- tended they were outright gifts and not taxable Most of the remainder assessed by the Government represented real estate transactions. In addition, the Govern- ment listed $12,000 in cashier’s checks, Which it said she received in 1638 from an account in the name of “Elizabeth |is dealing with Al Capone in Chicago.
