Reconsideration by congress of the powers of the federal trade commis sion to give it a more constructive function in determining the proper scope of "open price" associations activities in the light of tne anti trust laws was advocated last night by Secretary Hoover. By permitting the commission, sud- Ject to review of the-attorney-general, to pass on the practice of the associations as affecting prices, he maintained the uncertainty "so de structive to business" could be re? moved. A similar view was advanced by Attorney-General Daugherty.

Both asserted that the great piajority of trade associations were not re sponsible for price-fixing. Intelligent People, Mrs. Anna Keiser Declares, Thrown Into Prison to Die of Hunger. CONSTANTINOPLE. Mrs. Anna Keiser of Philadelphia, who recently arrived here, after having been al lowed to leave Odessa as a British subject, says that in leaving that city she felt as If she were escaping from a madehouse. Odessa now is ruled by the bolsheviki. Mrs. Keiser is the widow of Ell Keiser, formerly of Phil adelphia, who died in Odessa, and she is the daughter of Mrs. B. Wilier of 1355 .North Irving avenue, Chicago, to whose home she hopes to return. "I want to spend the rest of my time until bolshevism falls telling what . terrible people they are," she 6aid. "It is a crime in soviet Russia to criticise. -If any of us complained of being hungry we were taken before brutal and illiterate officers who are trying to do away with intelligent people, and were then thrown into prison to die of typhus and hunger. "I got along partly because I wasn't afraid. After my husband died I didn't much care what happened to me. I lived by giving lessons In Eng lish. Once, when women without working papers,' mostly widows and daughters of well-to-do families, were being gathered together and sent to the farms and garrisons to clean, up for the soldiers, the guards tried to take me. I said, "You can shoot me right now, but go I won't.' So they let me pass. "I had to leave as a British subject because I was always told that the Americans had not been asked for. as was the case of the English, Italians or French." Describing the marriage laws of soviet Russia, Mrs. Keiser said: "Of ficials ask 'For how long do you wish to be married one month, two months?' A couple can even be mar ried for a day and get a divorce on the minute by appearing together and asking for it." Mrs. Keiser said that Henry Potter, an American who used to be employed in the American consulate as a cour-ier-or servant and who was left there to take care of the effects of the con sulate, was executed in Odessa last June because papers addressed to the American state department and com plaining of the soviet system were found in his possession. "He had a list of papers, files and furniture missing from the American con sulates at Petrograd and Odessa," said Mrs. Keiser. "He tried to help me escape." issued by William Lawlt. roilce had been seeking her for some time and when she called at the station last night to visit her brother, Lucien La tourelle, who is serving a sentence of six months as a drug addict, she was locked up. BANK DEPOSITS WITHHELD Vienna Financial Situation As cribed to Stringent Law. VIENNA Bank deposits here have remained virtually stationary for three months, thus forcing the banks to resort to emergency measures to meet demands of large depositors for pay rolls and similar purposes. They are depositing securities with the govern ment and having money printed to order. The curious situation is ascribed DrinciDallv to the law governing de positors, which requires a complete .identification of the individual. Many persons object toyhis, not wishing to disclose tneir aeseis lor taxation ana preferring to have many small bank accounts under different names. The bankers have asked for the repeal of the law. Another explanation is that there Is so little faith in the Austrian crown that the people spend it as fast as they get it for something of tangible value.
