TUESDAY, APRIL 7. IIS FDR THE RESERVEBOfIRD President Considering Well the Men He Has in Mind to Run Hew Money Eystom. Washington, D. C.—By the time filial Btrt.i* toward organizations of tha twelve tideral reaervs hank* have been taken —probably within another month —President Wilson will send to tho senate the name* of five men, who, with the secretary of the treasury and the ratnptroller of currency, will com pose the federal reserve board and put Into operation the nation's new cur rency system. The president to date has not determined on a single name. He has before him data concerning many men who have been . recom mended as worthy of places on the board. Information about their quali fications and personality has been carefully prepared for the president so that he can begin the sifting pro cess practically without need of fur ther inquiry Some Big Men, Few people know .lust what names are before the president, but It is ttn derstood that names of some of tha biggest men in the country are on the list. One of the reasons for extreme secrecy is the uncertainty whether those who eventually wIU be offered places on the board will accept. Homo of t!\e men being considered receive salaries of $25,000 and $20,000 a year in their present positions and would have to make sacrifices to tako the board salary of $12,000. The president has not made up his mind definitely on the character of the personnel of the board, but there Is reason to believe that two men of banking experience, two business men with a knowledge of finance and an economist of recognized ability will lie named. Not in Politics. It is said the men on the president’s eligible list are not prominent in poli tics Mr. Wilson has determined that political considerations shall not weigh in his selections. The president realizes the difficulty of his task and his friends are im pressing upon him the necessity of making the first federal reserve hoard a standard for the future of the coun try's financial system.

M. at the Oreene St. Presbyterian. “The Inheritance of Saints" was the subject of a beautiful message this morning at the Greene Street Presbyterian Church. The evangelist, Dr. Coman, showed from the word of God that the Christian has inherit ance which is incorruptible, undefiled and that fadeth not away. Such be ing its nature only Christian people would desire It. He showed that ills inheritance is not salvation for Chris tians have that now. Christ declared that “the meek shall inherit the earth,” Apostle Peter. When the Apostle Peter speaks of the destruction of the present order of things he says, “Nevedtheiess we, according to His word look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. He showed haw that Christian people shall re ceive back the ownership and con trol of a world which Adam and nia natural descendants lost in sin—and that this world is to be purified and delivered from all its evils. New Heaven. John saw a new heaven and eartb which Christ was going to give to hit people. Dr. Coman concluded with the admonition that if he look tot such things we should be dilllgent to make our lives pleasing unto Christ At the evening service at g the sub ject will be, "The Soliciting Christ."

WILLIE LEVY CO. WOMAN'S DEATH BE LOOKED INTO Lexington, Ky., Grand Jury Decides to Investigate Cause of Bullet Wound in Mrs. Simpson’s Head. Lexington, Ky.—With the meeting of the grand jury here today it be came known that one of its duties would be to Investigate the death of Mrs. Laura Wilder Simpson, who was found dead with a bullet wound in her head at her residence here on February 23rd. Two coroner’s juries rendered non committal verdicts and recently after the body of Mrs. Simpson had been exhumed for the second time, a corps of medical experts declared that while there was no powder marks on the outside of Mrs. Simpson’s head these marks were found In the interior tis sues, proving, according to the physi cians, that the Bhot whlcl) killed her was discharged at close range. Her husband asked for a special grand jury investigation to clear up the case. Mrs. Simpson was formerly Laura Wilder and was prominent In Chicago society. While Judge Charles Kerr did not specifically direct the grand jury to investigate the Simpson case, he call ed the attention of the body to It in the following words: “I was requested by Mr. Simpson to call the special grand Jury to in vestigate the death of his late wife. I put myself to considerable pains to ascertain what I cotild concerning that unfortunate occurrence and from no source could I ascertain sufficient facts to warrant me in taking that step. "Since that request was made Dr. W'. H. Wilder, of Chicago, father of the young woman, had an Investiga tion made by medical experts and ns a result the father published an In terview saying he was convinced ills daughter came to her death from a self-inflicted wound. Ail these facts are accessible for such consideration as you may think proper to give the matter.” WHEN MUSCLE WAS NEEDED It was a beautiful New Year morn ing In th» stone age, "Hey, Strongman," said TTairyhead, ■bend me your crowbar, will you?” “Whatty you want with it?” asked Strongarm.

ALL DISCOUNTS CASH REVENGE “I’ll Give You Your Money, Yar Rascal,” He Gasped. “Take it and Get Out of My Sight.” Mr. I.abrum strolled inn Jestlcaily down the main avenue of llrHton Hall, lie had owned the ball six weeks, but he walked us if pis ancestors had owned it for six centuries. In dress, too, and demeanor Mr. Lahruui was such a marvelous imitation of a country gentleman that no one would guess (hat he had spent thirty indus trious and profitable, ypars In tho wholesale sausage business at South wark, At a respectful distance behind him walked his steward. Mr. Lubrum stopped and surveyed the great en trance gates contemptuously. "Simpson,” railed Mr. Labrum. “Yes, sir," responded the steward, "Make a note to get an estimate for replacing this gate with something showy in gilt displaying the Labrum arms.” "Certainly, sir,” responded the steward, secretly wondering whnt the arms of the Labrum farfHly were. Mr. luthriim paused In his proprie torial survey of 'the village, and ills eye rested on a small collage and gen eral shop exactly opposite the park gates. A red flag waving outside bore the legend, "Cyclists' Rest.” "Simpson,” he said sharply, "I won der you allow that. Go in and tell that person to remove that flag in stantly. Besides, I can't have a shop just opposite the hall entrance. Give the tenant notice to quit, and tell him that lie can have a shop In one of the side streets of the village, but not on the main road. I cannot have tho picturesqueness of the street spoiled by a. 'Cyclists’ Rest.’ Get it done at once. I can’t have that eyesore there ” ‘'Excuse me, sir, but that shop isn’t your property. It’s Joseph Finch’s own freehold. It’s the one lilt of vil lage you don’t own." "I’ll soon settle that. He’ll know his own Interests better than to go setting himself In opposition to tho Hah.” Mr. Labrum strutted across the road and entered the dark little shop. A mixed odor of cheese, soap, red her rings and bacon greeted him. An elderly man who was sitting on a box smoking a clay pipe rose to his feet. "1 have merely called,’’ said Mr La brum in superior tones, "to tell you that I cannot allow this sort of thing You must take down that disgrace ful flag at once, and this shop muiff be discontinued. It Is Impossible that retail trade should be carried on at the very park gates, it’s not In keep ing with the rest of the surround ings.” “I’ve got to get a livin’ sotne’ow,” replied Joe Finch. "I take a loftier view of my respon sibilities as a landed proprietor." said Mr. Labrum sternly. “I will buy this place from you, and you tan carry on your business In some quiet corner of this village—not, of course, on the main street. I cannot allow a ’ey chats’ rest’ there, |-et me know which house you would like, and I’ll see that the tenant moves.” "Don’t you trouble to turn nnyone out for me, sir,” returned the old roan •*j doe* very well r this shop, an’ I’m not goln’ to move."

What’s your price?” . Mr. Finch scratched Ills head and meditated. "Well, sir, ns It’s freo’old an’ a rare stand for business i’ I in: summer, I should lie rohhln’ myself If I asked you four ’undred for It.’’ "Don’t talk nonsense,” replied tho great man. "Four hundred pounds tor a tumble-down cottage that will fall In on you one of these days and a tiny patch of land, i’ll give you a hundred pounds for It and let you have a shop somewhere else, and that’s a very liberal offer.” “No,” said Joe Finch, slinking his head, "this shop’s nty livin’. Why, of a Bank Ollerday I’ve sold as much as two gross o' minerals to cyclists. It’s cheap at four 'undred, sir. There’s tho good will of the business, you know.” "Listen, my man," said Mr La brum, ”1 waul none of your insolence You can either accept a hundred pounds stid have a check today, or you can refpse and lake the conse quences.” "Have you settled with him, sir?” asked the obsequious steward of Mr. Labrum outside. "Why didn’t you warn mo, Blmp son,” suld the great inHn angrily, "that he was a drunken and profligate vagabond without the least respect for authority ?” "I big your pardon, sir, but as lie whs not one of the tenants, I hud little or nothing to do with him.” "You ought to have known. I shall not overlook another lapse like this, fllmpaon. Now, you are to go at once |to my tenants !ri the village and warn them against doing business with that disgusting person. 1 have n. duty to my tenantry, lie shall not demoralize them. Warn them that If they wish to keep their cottages they must tie very careful, and that If l see them | doing business there tiiey will Incur my very grave displeasure.” XXX HUH, six months passed away and Mr. Finch was not yet starved out. Rumors spread through tile village that he was living entirely on his old stock, and Mr. Istbrurn congratulated himself that In a few weeks he would bring the obstinate old man to his knees. However, one morning Mr. La brum rose In the highest spirits. It had been arranged that the Karl of Ardmore’s hounds were to meet at tiie Hall. He eagerly anticipate!* meeting half the county, and his hos pitable preparations were on the larg est scale. At an early hour he was astir, and directly after breakfast he walked around his grounds to see that everything was to his satisfaction. He strolled down to the main gate to sur vey the effect of the I.abrum arms In Kilt. To his horror, tic noticed across the way above the "Cyclists’ Rest" a huge inscription: “Labrum’s sausages on sale here. Cheapest and heat.” He was standing half-paralyzed with rage and anger when the vicar etme up. “Isiok there!” gasped the potentate. “Dear me, dear me,” said the vicar, ’’lt must ho exceedingly annoying.” ELEVEN "The Earl of Ardmore hlinaelf is coming,’’ gasped Mr. Labrum. "Well, well, he’ll take it as a Joke. He’s a very good fellow." "Ask him to take it down,” said Mr- I.abrum feebly. "I can’t face the meet with thnl there.” The vicar went across the road. "Finch,” lie said severely, "you must lake down that inscription at once.” "Not me,” said the old man; "I’m Just doin’ wtiat you advised us all to do lent .Sunday evenin’, ’eapln’ coals o’ fire on ’ls ’cad. ’E’s been six months • ryln’ to ruin my business. I’m ’pipin’ ’ini in ’ls. What’s there wrong anout that ? You buy some of ’is sausages for yourself, vicar. They are good. I’ve ’ad some for my breakfast. Huv I II (tike that sign down for no man." "He’s quite obstinate,” Haul the dear when he returned to Mr. Labrum, "hilt don’t you worry about It. I’ll ex plain to everybody that It’s a bit of revenge. They’ll just laugh at It and forget all about It. Though, between ourselves, you've been a little hard on him.” “I’ll never give him Ids price,” shouted Mr. I.abrgin. "I'll see him—" ''Hush, my dear sir,” hastily Inter posed the vicar! "In Hanover ftFet,” continued Mr. Labnim, as he tramped angrily back to the Halt Tho meet was at 11 o’clock.. At 9 o'clocg Mr. I.abrum whs striding angrily up and down hls breakfast rntmi At half-past he s<> Ills steward to offer Finch two hun dred pounds down for Instant posses sion of the premises. Very promptly the man returned. “There’s no moving him, sir. He says you know Ids price.” Till 111 o'clock Mr. 1-nbrum strug gled with ids feelings. Then he tore down the drive, check-hook In hand. "I’ll give you your money, you ras cal,” he gasped. "Take It and get out of my sight.’’ "Four hundred pounds,”' said Joe Finch, examining the check minutely. "Well, I’ve cut all my stock except six pounds o’ your sausages But I'll' throw ’em In. I've always tried to he a falr-dealln’ man. They’re good sau- 1 sages, sir: If I w-as you I'd he proud of 'em. I’ll always cat 'em myself now. Another week, an' I should ’ave been starved out.
