Bankers Report Favorably to
McAdoo on Wade’s Proposal
To Raise Funds.
ADVANCES TO BE MADE
X AT 6c. MIDDLING BASIS
Decision i« Reached After Long Con
ference—Steps to Start Action
Will Be Taken at Once.
St Louis, Oct 10.—(Special.)—A
plan evolved by Festur J. Wade, of
Louis, whi'h contemplates raising a
cotton loan fund of $150,000,000 from
the country at large to be advanced
on bales of cotton, was formally ap
proved by nine leading southern bank
ers in a telegram sent to Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo. They had
been asked by the secretary to come
to St. Louis and report upon the
plan ‘ , n
This action was taken after an all
day conference at the Mercantile
Trust Company.
Loans Upon Cotton.
The plan, which was submitted to
Secretary McAdoo last week by Mr.
Wade and George W. Simmons, treas
urer of the buy*a-balc committee of
St. Louis does not involve purchase
of any cotton. The movement is to
create a vast fund available for loans
upon cotton at not more than 6 cents
per pound, middling basis.
Thia would nean an average loan of
S3O per bale, and the fund as contem
plated would suffice tc finance 5,000,-
Ofii* bales, ‘Or a comfortable margin
above the estimated surplus cotton.
Win Start at Once.
Steps will he taker, instantly to pm
the idea into execution, since the cri
sis in the eotton markets will-be here
within the next two weeks.
Secretary McAdoo requested the
southern bankers tc report to him on
two points: First,’ whether the plan
would meet the situation in the
south; and, second, whether they
thought it would be feasible.
The plan proposes to raise the fund
by subscriptions from banks and trust
companies, manufacturers and mer
cantile houses, and to distribute it in
the cc.tton growing states and cotton
manufacturing centers, among the
farmers, merchants, manufacturers
and, others whose fortunes are bound
up with the fate of the cotton crop.
To Supplant Buy-a-Bale Move.
The new remedy for the cotton
situation probably will supplant the
“buy-a-bale” movement, which start
ed in Georgia, received its first big
impetus in St. Louis ahd has been
successful beyond the most sanguine
expectations of those behind it.
Not only has the “buy-a-bale” move
ment succeeded in retiring a re
spectable amount of'“distress” cotton
from the market thus aiding the
sellers of that cotton and ultimately
the owners of other cotton as well,
but it also has prepared the public
mind to receive such a plan as is now
offered by Mr. Wade.

(By United Press.)
Boston, Oct. 10.—A Copley portrait
r of Jared Ingersol, property of the
, Philadelphia branch of the Armory
5 family and now owned by Ingersol
' Amory of Boston, ha:> been brought
to lignt by workmen in the repair
shop of the Museun: of Fine Arts in

I Preparing for the opening of the
Evans memorial wing of the museum,
repairmen found a canvas, 40 inches
long by 50 inches, covered with a coat
of wex and varnish that had dried to
1 a tar-like consistency and that com
» pletely obscured the original colors
1 and much of the detai: of the picture.
1 Judges of paintaings have denied
' that the portrait was by Copley, but
the removal of the wax covering is
said to prove beyond a doubt the au
thored p of the work.
Jared Ingersol was a native of Mil
ford, Conn. After graduating from
school he was sent to England as an
agent of the colonies, at the time
Benjamin Franklin was in London in
a similar capacity for the state of
Pennsylvania It ir believed that
while on this visit to London this
portrait was made and later brought
to this country.
Upon the opening of the new wing
of the museum, which will be in the
near future, this newly-found portrait
will le placed on exhibition.

City Sunday school workers who at

Sunday school union at the First
Methodirt church Friday evening, de
clare the meeting was a most inter
esting and helpfid one. An unusually
large number «f Sunday school lead

Church and the Sunday School.”
Vocal solos by M:w Lillian Scott

‘GONCILIATION’COUfIT
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Investigation by Social Workers of
Cleveland's Municipal Courts
Shows Valuable Aid Rendered.
■ --- ~
(By United Press,)
Cleveland, Ohio., Oct. 10.—Informal
investigation by social workers of
Cleveland’s municipal court today
showed perhaps the most valuable aer
vice rendered by those institutions is
that of tho “Conciliatibn” court, the
one of itr kind in America.
Founded by Judge Manuel Levine,
a Russian Jew, the work of this
stranger to American justice has
come to be looked upon here as indis
pensable .
To temper justice with common
sense, to reduce court costs to a mini
mum, to render court procedure so
simple as to be understood by even
the uneducated foreigner—these are
to be tli» three main objects Judge
Levine has in mind in conducting his
court.
A foreign woman recently came in
i to the court with a suit for |IO.OO
against 3 boarder whom she claimed
burned here mattress while smoking
cigarettes in bed. The boarder re
fused to pay the sum declaring it was
• too much. Judge I-evine reached for
: his telephone and called a depart
ment store. He found such a mat-
l tress as the one destroyed could be
1 bought for F-LSO. The boarder paid
this sum cheerfully and the landlady
was satisfied. Many such cases are
disposed of in a day. Some require
only a few minutes. Others require
• patient inquiry and an hour of ’ccon
; eiliation” talk by the judge and his
• interpreters, but in the end the con
-1 tending partier are sent away satis-
• fied and the object of the court has
been reached.
