ASK ALL BANKS TO CURB SPEGULATION Federal Advisory Gouncil Ap- proves Stand of Reserve System Washington, Feb. 16 (#)—Coopera- tior by all banks that are members of the federal reserve system in an effort to prevent the use of federal reserve credit for speculative pur- poses h: been suggested by the federal advisory council. This proposal was made by the council at the end of a two-day ses- sion’ here at which the action of the federal reserve board when it fssued a sharp warning against speculation was warmly endorsed, The ' federal advisoPy” council is composed of one member from each federal reserve district and it acts in an advisory capacity to the board, having the power to recommend changes in the discount rate. Its action was, taken to mean that sen- timent for a curbing of speculation had crystallized in the federal re- serve system and that further steps toward that end might be expected. The board alrcady has warned that it would take whatever measures it thought necessary. The statement issued by the ad- visory council said: “The federal advisory council ap- proves the action of the federal re- scrve board in instructing the fed- eral reserve banks to prevent as far as possible the diversion of federal reserve funds for the purpose of carrying loans based on securitics. The federal advisory council sug- Kests that all member banks in each district be asked directly by the fed- eral reserve bank of the district to cooperate in order to attain the end desired. The council believes bene- ficial results can be attained in this manner.” Truck Hits Sedan Doorl Opened on Wrong Side As Mrs, Idella L. Brown sof 128 Dwight street opened a door on the left side of her sedan in front of 188 Main street about 5:30 last evening, a truck owned by the Bwedish American Baking Co. of 350 Arch strect and driven by Paul Swanson of 39 Cambridge street, struck it and banged it against the hood of the sedan.

The president got this impression from conferences with legislators end he feels it will make little dit- ference 8o far as the building of the ships are concerned whether work is postponed on them until after the begiuning of the next fiscal year or not. He thinks that construction should be postponed until after June 30 becausc of the condition of the treasury. However, in some quarters the president’s recommendation was in- terpreted as & move to forestall work on the cruisers during the present fiscal year, despite the fact that a time clause in the cruiser biil speci- fied that five of the 15 cruisers called for should be laid down respectively, in 1929, 1930 and 1931. The chief cxecutive opposed the time clause, but it was retained against his wishes. Following the president’s recommendation, the senate appro- priations committee voted to make $700,000 available for construction of the cruisers during the present tiscal year. On the house side, some members fecel that the $12,370,000 recom- mended by the president is inade- quate, and Chairman Britten of tho house naval affairs committee has announced that as soon 28 the senate completes work on the naval supply hill he would inquire as to whether the budget bureau did mnot “ar- bitrarily” cut down the sum pro- posed by the navy depariment to get the building program under way. The senate seems satisfied with the amount recommended by the presi- dent, but after the measure is passed there, it goes back to the house for consideration of amendments. Chair- man Britten could move then to add !to the amount recommended by Mr. Coolidge. No English household is complete without & weather barometer.

Judse Btanley J. Tracesk! discharged her, saying he was not convinced that she had committed an jntentional theft and he was fnclined te give her the benefit of the doubt. Officer James Sullivan was called by Margonelli's son-in-law and brought Mrs. Panasavage to the poe lice station about § o'clock wftes having questioned her about the al« leged theft. Margonelli's pocketbook! was on the kitchen shelf in Mrs, Panasavage's home, Margonelll have ing gone thers after recelving his pay in two envelopes, at the Stane ley Works. Frank Pizsza of 109 Orange street had followed Margo- nelll to the Panasavage home and oni looking ‘n through a window, saw Mrs. Panasavage take the momcy, oft the table, where Margonelll had put it. Pizza went to Margonelli's daughter's home and notified her and she went to Mra. Panasavage's home where she found her fathee intoxicated, she testified. Bergeant Feeney testified that Mrs, Panasavage first told him a man had given her $10 to pay her rent and then she said she found Margon« clli's pocketbook on the sidewalk and later she said she picked up the money on the floor. BShe did mot produce the money until Sergeant YFeeney warned her that she would be secarched by the police matron, Then, he testified, she produced the money from her dress. Margonelll was unable te help with the prosecution of the case, his testimony being contradictory, and Mrs. Panasavage, in her own behalf, denied that she had stolen the money but admitted that she picked it up on the floor and did not retura it to Margonelli, although she kiew he had dropped it. Her husband volunteered the testimony that Mar. gonelli came to the house intoxicated and barely able to stand u Margonelli's daughter said, in re< ply to questions by Prosscuting At torney Woods, that she did not know why her father visited at Mrs. Panse savage’s home, but he has come home without money frequently on Friday night after receiving his pay in the factory.
