She was at the time of her death president of the Current Lit erature Club of Columbia. Mrs. 11 Kohn's good works done in private were many and unceasing, her char-i itV openhanded, ungrudging, and I, thoughtful. She rend much and discriminatingly, maintained an informed and intelligent interest in the problems of the day, and in her public activities as well as in her household affairs showed herself possessed of executive ability, tact and a capacity for large undertakings. Mrs. Kohn removed in June, at | the advice of her physician, to a cottage on Sullivan's Island. She was accompanied by Mrs. Brunson. Mr. , l\Oljn Il.tu pceu sycuuiu^ mo ncooends with her there.

Hav< ow about Receipts, 1 THE LANCASTER 2STET PLAN TO PREVENT MONEY MONOPOLY Democrat* Hear Currency Hill l Amended?Without Test Arkankhu'h Scheme is I>?ferre<l. 1 Washington, July 17.?An amendment to the Glass-Owen currency bill, to prohibit interlocking directorates in banking institutions, was proposed at the conference of Democrats of the house committee today. The plan, offered by Representative Wingo of Arkansas, went over to the next meeting. after brief discussion aud without a test of strength in the committee. Earlier in the day the conference had defeated, 8 to 3, another proposal by Representative Wingo, that government funds should be deposited in the proposed new regional reserve banks upon a competitive basis, deposits being made in banks offering the highest rate of interest. The Democrats struck out of the bill a section to permit individual banks, in time of stress, to get direct discounts from the regional reserve banks upon securities recognized as "stock exchange collateral" and also eliminated a provision exempting notes or bills issued on government, state, county or municipal bonds iroiii ini* prupuseu pruuiuiituu against rediscounting by the federal reserve banks of notes and bills issued for the purpose of "carrying or trading stocks, bonds or other securities. The conference extended the maturity period of paper rediscountable under the law from 4 5 to 60 days. Sections of the bill relating to the regular constitutions of banks and penalties for examiners who express gratuities or loans from banks, were approved. In the case of the penalties for examiners, or for officers of the banks, giving loans or gratuities to examiners, the maximum penalty was raised from $500 to $5,000 and the maximum of imprisonment from three years to five years.
