There were so many stockholders present that they were unable to get into the room and intense interest was manifested. James H. Craig, state bank examiner, read a statement of the condition of the bank which showed that the bank had $1,051,000 on deposit. Mr. Craig said the bank had two plans, one to reopen and the other to go into the hands of a receiver. Only two more weeks were available to take action. When the resolution whs stated that the bank should reopen, it was carried unanimously.

Agnes Ay res of "The Sheik" Says She Wouldn't Care to Be. "Speaking solely from movie experience." smiled Agnes Ayres, featured with Rudolph Valentino in "The Sheik," a Paramount picture that comes to the Rialto Theatre next Monday and Tuesday, "I am sure that I should not care to be a lady of the harem. I can imagine the life led by those poor women?they would soon become about as intelligent and active as pug dogs. There might be some who would rebel?and their end would be swift and sure. A lot of glamour has been thrown about the harem life, but from what I've read, it must be a near approach to a terrestrial Hades ?for the woman. "In the picture, the harem scenes are quite attractive, however?colorful to a degree, and very beautifully composed. When we wefe making them, Mr. Melford, the producer, had to almost barricade the place to keep people away. "There are hundreds of thrill* In the picture?It seemed to me that something was done every minute. I had escapes, fights, rescues, and so on till I began to get dizzy. Also I had a lot of bruises?especially after the fight with four negro 'slave-girls.'" , PThe man who doesn't want his will broken should take care not to be survived by any relatives who are broke. | * ?Washington Post.

"We thought that when when the efense declined to argue it had hrown up its hands," he said.

Members of the ways and means ommittce said today that the bill to e reported to the house, probably rithin two weeks, would provide for cginning the cash payments to the ormer service men on January I, 923. They said this would give time i which to l'aise the revenue and to ass upon the applications for the ash bonus. Reenactment of the excess profits [ix as a method of financing the bous was urged before the ways and leans committee by Representatives Woodruff of Michigan and Brown of triRcnnsin. both Renublicans.

Itinerant Baptist evangelists are * now endeavoring to spread the teachings of that doctrine very widely in >, Russia. A union of all the Baptists r. of this country is planned next June, e Until now they have been divided - into two branches, one located at d Moscow and the other at Petmgrad a The Russian Baptists say they e have not been persecuted under the y Soviet regime, the ire of the Com i- munlsts being mostly directed at the f Orthodox church, which they regarded as a tool of the empire. REFUNDING BILL I TO WDTE HOUSE i Washington, Feb. 3.?Congress fin ally cleared the way today for the n ? opening of negotiations looking to the 11 I refunding of the $11,000,000,000 for- b . eign debt. p > The house, by an overwhelming ma- s . jority, agreed to the! senate amend- t< ments to the refunding bill and the d ; measure was sent td "the president, a k Mr. Harding is expected to approve it v . as he did not press h's objections to p i the senate changes after he had discussed them today, first with Chair- tl . man Fordney of the house ways and a ( means committee andllatcr with Sec- ti retary Mellon who is l^cad of the com- si mission of five authorized to conduct tf, . the negotiations with the debtor na tions. j> I Appointment of the other- four n I commissioners by the executive is , looked for within a phnrt time. It 0 [ was made known today at the White ^ House that Mr. Harming planned to , name two members of the cabinet and c, a member each of the senate and ^ house. There was no indication at the White House who would be named but ^ , among those mentioned elsewhere in f( connection with the nnnointmerite - , were Secretaries Hoover and Weeks, j, . Senator Watson (Independent) and p Representative Longw^rth of Ohio. , While plans for conducting tlie negotiations with the jjebtor nations t. have not yet been formulated, it was n said that they probably would be con, ducted both in this country and y abroad. There has been some discus- y sion of a general conference of representatives of the United States and ^ the principal allied powers to discuss ,? the whole subject of the war debts of . those nations. Those, favoring this M plan have argued that it wn^iot to be ( expected that the debts owed the ^ United States could be refunded with- ^ out reference to the debts owed among the allied powers themselves. In this connection \ it has been . pointed out that Grejt Britain ad- . vanced to its dominion^and allies, in- ^ eluding France and ?*ly> approxi, mately $9,500,000,000 France 'f As finally enaet^ tbe ai&t refund ing bill was unsatisfactory both to the administration and Republican lead- 1 ers of the house but it was said that "v ' objections to it were not pressed be- J cause of the delay that would bo involved in sending it to conference for s i the ironing out of differences between s t the two houses. 1 : Chief objection centered on the sen- :l ' ate amendment requiring that the res funded obligations mature not later * i than June 15, 1947, and that the min- 1 ' imum interest rate me 4 1-4 per cent. I ? Both the president and Secretary Mel- * I Ion were reported as preferring a free 1 i hand for the commissions to the life * i of the bonds and the interest rate. f i i NEGRO DIES IN ' n urmir ruAio : aid this was n just tax which would e more popular than some others. Opposition to such a proposal was oiced by some of the Republican lembers of the committee and in the olloquy that followed Mr. Woodruff eclared that the repeal of this tax /as "one of the most reprehensible cts ever committed by congress." Both Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Brown pposed any form of sales tax, as id previous witnesses, including H. 1. McKenzie, f Walton, N. Y., rep esenting the American Farm. Bureau ederation, and Euward F. McGrady, rfaMMantal.ivp gf the tit Mr. Brown suggested that the reasury migljt be able to obtain con-! iiderable sums from the sources promised in the original bonus bill ofered by Chairman Fordney, such as dight increases in income surtaxes, itock dividends and a tax of ?neif h of 1 per cent on sales of stocks iml bonds. Representative Nolan of California old the committee that, there was no leed to levy any additional taxes to lay the bonus if congress would cut iown the army and navy approprlaions. Pointing to the agreement at he arms conference for a naval holilay and the scrapping of many existng ships, Mr. Nolan declared that rreat saving could be made in the ost of the naval establishment .Ho ilso urged that tho army bo cut to 00,000 mon. Opposition to tho kind of cash boius proposed was voiced by Representative GrifTith (Democrat) New Vork, a veteran of tho Spanish-American was. He said tho government, is a cash proposition, should return :he money tho soldiers paid for in mrance and as family allotments.
