"I advocated the establishment Df such an institution in my regu lar in at least one special mes sage to the last session of the leg' ielature, and we did secure enact ment of a measure which gives the governor authority to trans ler first offenders from the prison to the training school when he feels justified In doing so."

After a delay of nearly threo years, the senuto today heeded the repeated urgiugs of the White House and began debute uu a reso lution proposing American mem bership in the world court. Eveu In its beginnings, the dis cuesion took on many of the same characteristics that vitalized the senate's long strugglo over th league of nations.

The resolution of adherence up on which debate began was offored by Senator Swanson of Virginia ranking democrat on the foreign relations committee, without the approval of Chairman Borah. 11 proposed reservations, framed the basis of those Originally sug gested by President.

At the outset of. the formal hearing today the bunking board and the Portland National bank representatives and attorneys dis agreed as to what the inquiry was to be about. The board took the position that the bank reprcsenta uvea at the informal hearing last Friday had made, or at least in ferred charges against tho ability and integrity of Bramwell rela tive to his attitude toward tho unidentified bank. Today J. N. Hart, attorney for the Portland Nuliunal, insisted that no charges had been made, and that the whole question was whether the Portland National bank was to bo chartered by Bramwell as a reserve depository for stato banks As the inquiry proceeded the tes timony was along the lines de manded by the bonrd.
