" COURT OF HONGR DOOH 1 SEALED Councl Committee Yotes for Removal of Temporary Memorial The Court of Honor at the en- trance to Wainut Hill Park is doom- ed to go. The special committee of common council members decided last night that in view of the fact that the rows of pillars commemor- ating the loss of the New Britain _boys who gave their lives in the service of their country, were erect- ed only as a temporary memorial, and also on sccount of the erection ot the handsome shaft atop Walnut Hill park, it was inadvisable to at- tempt to keep the Court of Honor. A report will ‘e made to the com- mon council, recommending that the board of park commissioners remove the pillars and the memorial arch- way for the reasons stated, and the report will also mention the expense that would be incurred for repairs and replacements if the wooden pil- lars were kept. Alderman Johu F. Maerz, who was not present at the first meeting of the committee last week, was asked for his opinion. He said he regretted greatly that the Court of Honor could not be kept, as it was an inspiring and unique memoriai, but it seemed necessary to remove it and he favored having it done. Alderman Judd and Councilmen Bartlett and Maxon expressed the same feeling at the last meeting. Relative to the expense of remov- ing the memorial, the committee went on record in favor of having| it paid for out of the emergency funds. A discussion ensued relative to installing a fitting marker at the West Main street entrance to the park to replace the arch and the Court of Honor and it was voted to recommend to the council that the board of park commissioners be re- quested to consider this phase of the situation, Ornamental lighting stand- ards or similar markers were men- tioned. AL SMITH WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR Democratic Leader Does Not Desire to Succeed Walker as New York’s Executive New York, Feb. 7 UP—The New York Times said today that Alfred E. Smith would not be a candidate for mayor of New York city, next fall as has been advocated in vari- ous quarters, The paper said it had learned thdt Smith mform?d Mayor Walker of his position shortly before he de- parted for Florida. Mayor ‘Walker has not indicated his position. Former Mayor John Hylan again is a candidate. Smith's statement was made, the paper said, at about the time the first mention of “Smith for mayor"” was made in city political circles. Since then the suggestion has been made frequently in editorials and otherwise, : Opposition to the idea of having Mr. Smith become the democratic candidate in the coming city elec- tion is voiced in an editorial signed by Paul Block, publisher, in his papers and appearing in other papers as a paid advertisement. The editorial declares Smith should not become a candidate for any office unless he is again nomi- noted for president. Toronto University Paper Is Suspended Toronto, Feb., 7 UP—Students at the University of Toronto had to ob- tain their campus news from a bul- tetin published by the students council today owing to the suspen- slon of Varsity, the school daily. Leor:ard J. Ryan, editor of Varsity, was dismissed at a meeting of the joint executive committee of the student’s administrative council be- cause of an editorial appearing in yesterday's issue. The editorial continued a con- troversy which arose over editorials in the paper in support of “petting” and referring to the effect the wiles of the feminine students had in se- curing the approbation of the pro- tessors. This incident apparently was settled with announcement that the paper in future would not pub- lish anything which could be con- sidered improper. The editor yesterday, however, in the editorial columns of the paper, published what in effect constituted an attack on the joint executive committee over the attitude adopted toward the “petting” Incident and over salaries of members of the edl- torial staft of the paper.

For more than 17 hours Jensen had coasted his plane through chill rain, beating a monotonous circlet above Roosevelt and Mitchel flelds. Occasionally flippant notes came fluttering down from the Green Flash, wh e the man who won sec- ond place in the Dole derby from California to Hawall was relying upen the surly weather to help keep him awake. Jensen, hungry, soaked and cold, said an examination of his engine would have to be made before he could “>termine why the main gas- oline tank emptied so quickly. He declared the fuel pump might have overflowed. At the time he discov- ered the main tank was almost empty, it enough fuel for 20 more hours, he said.

After 8 conference of several hours yesterday between George L. Harrison, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Roy A. Young, governor of the fed- eral reserve board, and members of the bosrd, a statement was issued ‘which called attention to the growth of speculative credit during ihe year, the loss by the country of some $500,000,000 in gold and ad- vanees in the cost of credit for com- mercial uses. The statement sald the federal re- serve board did not assume the right to set itself up as an arbiter of security speculation but asserted that it was its business to see that the federal reserve banks function effectively. “When it finds that conditions are arising.” the statement said, “which obstruct federal reserve banks ip the effective discharge of thelr func- tion of so managing the credit fa- cilities of the federal reserve sys- tem as to accommodate commerce and business, it is its duty to Inquire into them and to take such meas- ures as may be determined suitable and effective in the circumstances to correct them; which, in the immedi- ate situation, means to restrain the use, either directly or indirectly, of federal reserve credit facilities in aid of the growth of speculative credit.” Practice I The board declared that the volume of speculative credit still was growing. In the last year loans to brokers and dealers by New York federal reserve member banks climbed from $3,816,000,000 to $5,- £59,000,000 last week, a new high record. ent paper representing speculative loans for rediscount at the reserve banks rediscount privileges was in- dicated by the statement: *“The federal reserve act does not, in the opinion of the federal reserve beard, contemplate the use of the resources of the federal reserve banks for the creation or extension of speculative credit. A member bank is not within its reasonable limits for rediscount facilities at its federal reserve bank when it bor- rows either for the purpose of mak- ing speculative loans. or purpose of maintaining speculative loans.” Last Appeal for Life Of Obregon’s Slayer Mexico City, Feb. 7 (P—An ap- peal for executive clemency for Jose Deleon Toral, condemned to die for the assassination of President-Elect Alvaro Obregon, will be put before President Portes Gil as soon as he arrives from Ciudad Victoria, Ta- maulipas, it was said today.
