16 TTTR WOUmG OREGOXTAy, ' TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1914. BANK HEARING is; TO BE SET AHEAD Federal Reserve Board Will Ar rive Here Three Days Ear lier Than Expected. JANUARY 30 MAY BE TIME Committees Working to Have Data Heady and Washington Cities As sist, as Well as Those of Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Hearings by the Federal Reserve Board on Portland's application to be come, a regional reserve center under the new currency law probably will be held here on Friday, January 30. in stead ot Monday, February 2, as planned originally. A change of schedule was adopted by the organization committee of the Fed eral board yesterday, which will bring thern into the Northwestern territory three days earlier than provid&d by the schedule adopted two weeks ago. Although the exact dates for Port land and Seattle have not been desig nated under the new schedule it is probable that the committee will sit In Seattle on Thursday, January 29, and in Portland the day following. This will enforce a change in dates at San Francisco and Los Angeles also. Ac cording to the new schedule San Fran cisco probably will be visited Monday, February 2, the date originally allotted to Portland. The committee, which consists of Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury De partment, and Secretary Houston, of the Agricultural Department, will ar rive in Portland, according to the new schedule, on Wednesday morning, Janu ary 28, and probably after a stay of an hour and a half here, will proceed to Seattle, arriving there the same day. The hearing in Seattle would then be conducted January 29 and the run back to Portland made that night. This change will require the local committee of the Clearing House and the Chamber of Commerce to hasten its collection of data and statistics that are to be presented to the committee in support of Portland's application. The committee is making satisfactory progress with its work and is securing the co-operation of bankers and busi ness men, not only In all parts of Ore gon, but in certain districts of Wash ington, Idaho and Montana. Support In the State of Washington is divided, however, between the three cities that compete for the business in that field Portland. Seattle and Spo kane. It is understood that "Spokane will be given opportunity to present its claims while the committee sits at Se attle. The committee plans to receive most of the information in written form and will ' file it for reference and future study. Maps and such other exhibits as .he local committee sees fit to offer also will be accepted and given con sideration, it is understood. The Federal committee has chartered an office car, in which it will travel and in which much of its work will oe done. Accompanying Secretary Mc Adoo and Secretary Houston are their private secretaries and a corps of clerks and stenographers. It is probable that Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Houston also will accompany the party on the west ward swing. athletics at the University of Oregon, is registered at tie Oregon.

EWERS- TO MEET HEADS OP ALL SOCIETIES ARB TO CONFER TOPflGHT. CEMETERY RECORDS GONE City Aid in Improvements at Brain ard Tract Suggested. All records of the Bralnard Cemetery were lost with the disappearance of the agent. Mr. Lawrence, several years ago, and have never been recovered, ac cording to S. H. Brainard, son of the late W. E. Bralnard, who platted the cemetery. S. H. Brainard said yesterr day that he tried to recover the records, but had been unable to get them. He said that the estate has no ownership in the cemetery. A large number of the lots, he said, were given by his father without charge to many who had no money, about half being dis posed of that way. Where the agent went, said Mr. Brainard, has never beenJ ascertained, and hence the only records are thoxe found on markings of the Kraves and in possession of the lot owners. Mr. Brainard suggests that a con crete wall be built on the East Glisan street side. This probably will be done by the association Tecently formed. Mr. Brainard said that owing to the loss of the records it would be practically impossible to move the erwves, as the consent of the relatives would have to be obtained. He ex pressed the opinion that the city might assist in the erection of a concrete re taining wall, as it did on East Stark street along Lone Fir Cemetery. PIONEER WOMAN IS DEAD Sirs. Mariah J.
