HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Run-down,Weak and Nervous—Made Strong by Vinol. For the benefit of New school girls' who .overwork and get into highly nervous, weak and run- down condition, we publish this let- Jter from Dorris Coplier, of Forth Worth, Tex.,—*"I go to the high school and take music lessons, and became rundown, weak and very nervous, so I could not do anything. I would shake all over and could have scream- ed at times, and was really unfit to keep on with my studies. Mother purchased a bottle of Vinol for me aand within a week I was better, and In two weeks I had gained five pounds and felt fine.” It is the curative elements of the true tract, aided by the blood-making, re- vitalizing effect of peptonate of iron and beef peptone, contained in Vinol, 4 Which made it so successful in build- Ing up health and strength and over coming the nervous condition of Mi Coplier, and we ask every school girl In New Britain who is in a like con- dition to try Vinol, on our guarantee to return their money if it fails to benefit.

York, Feb. tice in baseball Bat- New 14—Regular prac- arted at Fordham university today, when all the aspir- ants reported to Billy Lush, the coach, in the gymnasium. The squad bids fair to be the biggest cver as- $embled there. Every place in the infield and outfield except shortstop must me filled by new men this year. Jack Berrigan, the captain and short- stop, is the only fielding veteran 1 at school. The others who remain are all batterymen except Sharkey, who may play left field this spring. <Lush is facing a hard task He started his pitchers and catchers at work on Thursday, and is well sat- isfied as regards battery material. Most of his hopes for fielders lie in the former high school stars who are coming out. Among this number are Eustace and Fitzpatrick of Fordham Prep. Stall and McGinn of Boston English High, and Cantwell of Spring- field High. What causes most worry, however, ig the fact that all of these men are out for the infield, and the outfield's composition is a mystery as yet. Last year it was the hitting power in the outfield that gave Fordham its record of forty-eight hits and thirty- nine runs in its three consecutive vic- tories over West Point, Dartmouth, and Mount St. Joseph’s. RUMOR WILL NOT DOWN. But Philadelphia Bankers Won’t Talk About Phillies. Philadelphia, Feb. 14—The three members of the Philadelphia syndicate of clubmen and bankers who are re- ported to have acquired the controlling ifterest in the Philadelphia National league club, held jointly by Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati and C. W. Murph of Chicago, yesterday declined to dis- cuss the deal, but the report would not down and many persons are convinced that the actual negotiations will be an- nounced officially at a reorganization meeting to be held in the near future. The statement of one of the trio of leading bankers is significant. Walter Clothier, Racquet club member and former college star, who is said to be jointly interested in the syndicate with Freg T. Chandler, now vice-president of the club and head of the Philadel- phia stock exchange when seen ye: terday and asked the date the trans- fer of the stock would take place sig- nificantly replied: “I do not just know when it will be but see Fred Chand- 1dr, he will tell you all about it.” Mr. Chandler quickly changed the subject when asked point blank whether the deal had or would take place. JOHN! \()\ WOULD PROTEST. Tennis Champion Not in Accord With Plan Effecting Former Matches. Los Angeles, Feb. 14.—Pacific coast tennis men will declare open warfare on the east if the National association ousts Maurice McLoughlin and Thomas C. Bundy from the amateur ranks because they have become part- ners in a sporting goods house in this city. William M. Johnson, tennis champion of the United States, is one who thinks that it would be an unjust move on the part of the national ten- nis body if that organization profes- sionalized McLoughlin and Bundy. “To my mind the accusation been an unjust one throughout,” said Johnson. Thomas C. Bundy of the pew firm of McLoughlin & Bundy, said: “Maury and I are not worrying at all about what the committee may do. I think there is little chance ot so drastic action being taken. The ma- jority of the members of the commit- tee are friends of both Maury and my- gelf, and unless some new rule is adopted we cannot see how we can be affected.” has .Y()B Univ. of Southern California Wants Former Harvard Football Player.

Not only have its fun- damental principles been fully vindi- cated but in most details the working of the measure has been successful.” Reserve Amendments Recommended The recommended would: Permit National banks to subscribe and hold stock in banks organized for the special purpose of doing a bank- ing busincss in foreign countries; Permit, with the approval of the Board, the issue of Federal Reserve notes to Federal Reserve banks either against the deposit of commercial paper or gold, provided that the gold =0 deposited shall count as part of the required reserve of the bank; Extend the acceptance vstem to the domestic trade so far as it relates to documentary acceptances secured Dby shipping documents or warehouse receipts, covering readily marketable commodities or against the pledge of goods actually sold: Permit national banks to establish branch offices within the city or county in which they are located. Permit advances to member banks against the member banks’ secured promissory notes or against the de- posit or pledge of U. S. government bonds; Authorize a wide making of farm loans by national banks so that a Federal Reserve bank might make proper loans of this kind within a radius of one hundred miles of its place of business whether in its district or another district. amendments Greatly Strengthen Operation. “It is believed,” says the Treport, “that the enactment of these amend- ments will, besides enlarging the use- fulness of the national banks, result in greatly strengthening the operation of the Federal Reserve act, and more completely realize the purposes of its framers The Board announces that it does not consider that it can direct the business operations of Federal Reserve Banks in respect to foreign loans, but that its function is to oversee these banks. A plea is made in the report for the entrance into the tem of more state banks and trust companies. Forcign Borrowing. In speaking of foreign borrowing in the United States the Board points out that it has received many inquiries on this subject and has given them care- ful attention. It has reached the conclusion, it says, supported by com- petent legal advice, “‘that the purpose for which goods are sold or exported, or the use to which such goods arc ultimately put,” does not fall within its province or jurisdiction. “If,” the report adds, “the trar tions which have given rise to such sales or shipments are of a true com- mercial nature, if the basis upon which they rest is such as to comply with the requirements of the Federal Reserve Act, and if the maturity of the loan falls within the limitation of the law, then the paper growing out of them, no matter by whom or for what drawn, may at will be discount- ed by Federal Reserve Banks, and must be regarded as falling within the legitimate sphere of their operations. The Federal Reserve Act makes no provision for collateral bond or stock loans or for the purchase of foreign governments’ obligations by reserve institutions. Neither such obligations, therefore, nor loans to member banks based thereon, are eligible as invest- ments for Federal Reserve Bank Matter of Business. “The operation of the reserve sys- tem is a matter of business to be con- ducted in accordance with the terms of the Reserve Act and the regula- tions of the Board. It is not the province of the Board to deal with problems involving international re- lationships of the United States, either for the purpose of restricting or ex- tending exportations in one direction or another. The eligibility of paper for reserve banks is determined by considerations which are as valid under one set of international relationships as another; the function of passing upon and dealing in such paper under these regulations belongs to the sev- eral reserve banks. The Board, how- ever, believes that the financing of the country’s export trade is at the present time one of the most important finan- cial problems with which the nation has to deal; and it is of the opinion that Fede: Reserve Banks cannot even if they could avoid the respon- sibility of assi financing what legitimately erly devolves upon them.” The Board expresses regret that i some states suits have been instituted to test the validity of the provision of the Reserve Act by which it may grant certain judiciary powers to na- tional banks, announces its intention to have its counsel intervene in these cases and says that every effort will be made to have the question settled by the Supreme Court at an early date. Tt is pointed out that only 32 state banks have been admitted to the system and 84 others have come conversasion into national and prop- banks. TLowered By Legislation. “It is regrettable,”” continues the re- port, “that in not a few states reserve requirements for state banks and Recommended to Congress in Re- | port of Federal Board discretion in the | trust companies have been materially lowered by legislative enactment since the adoption of the Federal Reserve Act. The only justification for the reduction of the reserve requirements for national banks is the fact that the national banks are members of the Tederal Reserve System and that the IFederal Reserve banks hold part of the consolidated reserve of the na- tional banks and are therefore in po- sition to come immediately with all of their resources to the support of national banks in case of necessity or emergency On the other hand it is stated, state banks have reduced their reserve re- auirements without the support of the reserve system, “This” says the re- port, “is an element of danger in our banking system, because the weaken- ing of the reserves of the state banks and trust companies makes them more vulnerable in times of emergency and it is conceivable that a situation might arise in the affairs of such state banks and trust companies where they might have to call upon the credit structure | of the national banks and the federal reserve system for support when they would not be entitled to it because they had not contributed to the strength of the federal reserve tem by taking membership in it. T board is giving serious thought to this auestion, and to the action that may be taken to guard against the conse- quences of this situation."” This part of the report is concluded with an expression of opinion that the credit resources of the country would be greatly enlarged and strengthened with corresponding benefit to busi- ness and the'people if state banks and tust companies were to enter the sys tem. Outstanding Feature. The report declares that a condition of remarkable ease was the outstand- ing feature of the country’s money market during the year. It says that the nation’s export trade has reached high water mark, that manufacturing in nearly all lines is active ana that it h. been the part of wisdom for re- | serve banks to conserve their re- sources “‘and hold themselves in read- iness to meet any unexpected devel- opments in the situation.” An in- crease of almost a billion doilars in the combined loans of national banks in the year and an increase of deposits of nearly two billien dollars are point- ed to as pertinent in considering the situation. “These facts” the report says, ‘would seem to indicate that it is prudent {o be prepared for a time when the re- serve resources of the country will be subjected to a severe test and when the leadership and operations of the federal reserve banks will become correspondingly more influential.”” Discount Policy. The discount policy of the during the past vear is declared to have heen the proper one under the board ing in this process of | existing circumstances but it is point- ed out that as time goes on there will be a disposition to make these rates as nearly equal in all parts of the coun- try as is possible. The reserve banks have not been greatly encouraged indulge in such commercial banking operations as the lew permits, open market operations might have been i creased and money rates further de- pressed More active participation in such transactions by reserve banks may be expected in the future. The board, the report announces, considering the establishment of branch agencies of reserve banks in cities other than those where such banks are located and for the present does not expect to approve the estab- lishment of branch reserve banks. The clearing operations of the banks, it says, have proved a success but too few of the banks have taken advan- tage of this function. is City Items City Engineer Hall estimates that the snowstorm will cost the street de- partment between $250 and $300.

Meskill in police court this morning on a charge of drunk- enness and breach of the peace pre- ferred against him by his wife after a decidedly sensational hearing and was fined $5 and costs on each count. Prosecutor George W. Klett conduct- ed the state’s case and Lawyer Wil- liam F. Mangan appeared for Sulli- van, Sullivan Tries To Escape. Officer Walter Malona arrested Sullivan at the depot shortly before midnight Saturday when Mrs. Sulli- van lodged a complaint against him. The officer said that Sullivan w drunk and when he placed him under arrest he tried to run away. He suec- ceeded in sliping out of his overcoat and leaving the officer holding the gar- ment, but when he tried to run awa he bumped into a woman standi nearby and both fell down. He wa then caught and taken to the police station. Mrs. Sullivan, wife of the accused said she went into the Arcade Res- tuarant shortly before 12 o’clock to get “a cup of coffee and a sandwich” and while she was in there her hus- band came in and called her bad names. With becoming mod the voung woman objected to repeati the name her husband applied to her but finally gave in. She inSisted that Sullivan not only called her the name in the restaurant but followed her into the depot where he again pro- claimed in a loud voice his opinion of her.

Mang: Cross examined by Lawyer Mrs. Sullivan denied that she was with another man when her husband entered the restaurant, but upon fur- ther questioning she admitted that a Burdick” was with “her party “Are you sure that all vou were drinking at the restaurant was cof- fee?” queried Lawyer Mangan, “Certainly—that's all I can get—i she replied with haughty of her head. 1l vou can get know vou, do 3 Mangan. Further questions of this were objected to by the state. Miss Kitty Anderson, who says she comes from Meriden, has worked as a waitress at the restaurant for a month and who is a close friend of Mrs. Sullivan and her er, Mrs. Ruth Barrows Reynolds, next took the stand against Sullivan. She de- clared that he came into the restau- rant drunk and declared he go- ing after his wife. The tried to induce him not to m: scenc but he called her a “vellow individual of bad character and that he was going to tell his wife just what he thought of he Mrs. Ruth Reynolds testified against her brother-in- law, repeating what her sister had said and adding that Sullivan had called her a vile name as well. Sullivan denied being drunk, al- though to his lawyer’s question he said he “had three beers.” He de- nied insulting his wife and explained that she has been traveling around with a male friend who takes her out and gets her drunk much of the time. He declared that he went up to the man in restaurant and addre ing him in no uncertain terms, ad- vised him to keep away from his wife and not to take her out and get her drunk any more, “I called him a name and said ‘vou keep away from her, ” Sullivan said. Cross questioned by as to how many bee taken of, Sullivan said know of.” “How many that of?” he was aslked. “One,” Sullivan replied. “How many more did you have he was asked. The answer was “two’ and then to further questioning he replied ‘“three or four more,” bring- ing the total up to nine. Sullivan then told a story about his wife chasing around with the follow who married man” and asked the pr cutor why he was not in court to- day. Prosecutor Kett informed the accused that if he had any grievance against his wife he should seek coun- sel and not take the law into his own hands. Judge Questions Witness' Ve Alexander Fanion, a friend of Suli- an, testified in his behalf, but when he had concluded and Prosecu tor Klett started to rip his state- ments to pieces Judge Meskill — wc. marked “don’t pay any attention him. Tn my opinion he lied on stand.” “Well, T suppose it is for judge who tells the truth,” Lawyer Mangan, who “In my opinion some lied on the stand too.” Lawyer Mangan then remark that it had been shown that Sulliv: works every day at the Rule Shor “Why didn’'t the prosecutor ask them (referring to the three young women) if they work? “Is the court less they do they in an unlawful judg “No but in ther: they ?

He then asked why, if the alleged words had been used in the crowded restaurant and crowded depot, other disinterested witnesses had not been brought in. “Not a single disinter ested witne; has been produced, argued.

Miss Flor- ence Deloy, daughter of the accused and also the complainant, said her father was drunk, but she did not know of any breach of the peace. Mrs. Freliger said there was a breach of the peace. Judge Meskill said the discrepancy between the statements of the two witnesses was due to the daughter’s feeling for her father. A fine of $3 was imposed for drunken- ness, while judgment was suspended on the breach of the peace charge. Round Up “Bufky” Gordon.
