HAEDING DEFENDS RESERVE BOARD SYSTEM ‘Washington, Aug. 5.—Reserve bank policies of 1919 and 1920 were formulated eolely to prevent the country's banking system from collapse, and were success- ful in their object, Governor Harding of the reserve board declared today in closing a two days' appearance before a joint _ congressional commission. To questioners he repeated time and again |2 declaration that the board had not sought to influence prices, either up or down, but had prepared to meet a price break that was world wide. and yet to maintain and expand credit iines. There was a bare possibility, he said, that if in 1919 the reserve board Igfd raised national rediscount rates, “the runaway in ' prices might have been checked and the result might have been better,” but he mentioned needs of the government financing as influential in de- termining the course actually taken. Representative Sumner, democrat, Tex- as, suggested that “the word might have gone out” from the board to bankers to be fearful of prices, but Governor Hard- ing said that nothing had been dwme in- consistent with his statement. “It wasn't a good time to be talking too much—in 1920, he remarked, “but we can be bolder now.” He made a suggestion that the commis- | sion might "consider the utility of tne farm, loan boards as a_means of extend- !ing short term ecredits to farmers, for nine and twelve month periods, but s he would make no detailed recommenda- tion. | “All over the country we find that ag- ricultural and livestock interests feel that théy meed more credit facilities.” he said, “and want something to make in- vestments independent of banks.” Governor Harding denied that his ad- ministration of reserve bank policies had deflated eotton prices.

Mokas Will be brought back to Norwich as soon as ex- tradition papers can be secured. The charge is larceny of $400 from Hannibal L. Hamlin, a private detective in Boston. After his arrest Mokas made an affidavit before Bail Commissioner W. V. James that the money was given him to each Captain Frank W. Quilty of Springfield on the cparge of liquor run- ning. According to his story to the Spring- field poice Mokas stated that he met a mna named Hamlin in the office of At- torney Gordon Ireland Springfield, and that he came with Hamlin to Norwich some time in April. Here the detective gave him $400. which was to be the first payment for 15 cases of whiskey. Mokas was to get men named Leo and Pepe in Springfield to secure Captain Quiltys care and come to Norwich where the whiskey woud be put in the car and started toward Springfield. On the way the automobile load of booze was to be intercepted. The plan procéeded smoothly Mokas said, up to the actual purchase of the whiskey. He then decided he would keep the $400 as payment for two months’ work. He went to Buffalo, he sald, and after staying there a few days proceeded to Chicago where e remained until the money was spent. He then returned to Springfield and has been there a week or two keeping in hiding most of the time through fear of arrest for absconding with the de-. tective's money. ONE-THIRD OF STATE'S POPULATION UNDER 15 According to the census of 1920, 30 per cent., or almost one-third of the people in the state of Conmecticut, are either infants or chiliren under 15 years of age; 7.7 per cent. are young Deople 15 to 19 years“old: 39.9 per cent., about two-fifths, are men and women in the prime of life, being from 28 to 44 years old: while 22.2 per cent. being 45 years of age and over, are well along in middle life if they have not reached old age. The wurban population as compared with the rural shows some rather strik- Ing differences in age, the percentage 20 to 44 years of age being 41.7 for the urban population as compared with 36.1 for the rural, while the percentage 45 years of age and over is 20.5 in the ur- ban population and 25.8 in the rural Probably” those differences in age com- position result of foreigners and natives in the active years of adult life, The percentage of children is about the same in the urban population as it is in the rural being 29.9 (urban) as against 30.4 (rural.) Just about three-fifths of the popula- tion, 60.7 per cent., are old emeagh to vote, being 21 or over; and in this class the men outnumber the women in the ratio of 102 to 100. The males of mili- tary or fighting age, 18 to 44, consti- tute 43.1 per cent. of the male popu- lation and.217 per cent. of the total population.
