Franke, Garden road, Rt. 7, box1 . I New York, Feb. 21. Charged with having defrauded the government of uniform cloth valued at approximately $5,000,000, eleven manufacturers and handlers of the cloth in New York were indicted today by a federal grand jury. They are: Louis Davidson, Abraham Pursch, Javon Wcinstein, Hyman Horwitz, Leon LeLvine, Irving Weinsteln, Ben jamin Horwitz, Barney Tietz, Ira L. Janowsky, Barnet Robinson and Morris Alewitz. It is alleged these men, all involved in the process' of preparing cloth sup plied by the government for uniforms, fasificd records in such a manner that they were able to steal eloth and sell it. Janowsky is an employe of the quartermaster's department, with of fices here. The men were arraigned before Judge Manton in federal district court, where they pleaded not guilty and were held in bail. "Particularly in the east, officers of the federal banks are selling their in fluence so that certain persons who really have bribed them, may obtain federal loans," Gl'.isa said. "To break up this practice and tc clarify to penal provisions of the act, which have been the excuse for some of this work, the amendments make it a crime punishable by imprisonment for an officer 'to accept any fee, com mission or gift in obtaining loans or to take any loan of more than $10,000 from the reserve bnak for his personal use'." - Other amendments which were in cluded in ono bill extend the scope of the federal reserve system in the line of general trust business State banks have bitterly fought the encroachment of the fedoral reserve act on this phase of banking butlhe provisions regarding trust business were recently held in valid by tho supreme court. Changes in the groupings of banks so as not to ignore tho small institu tions in the elections of directors were also recommended. ' ins airectors now are not repre sentative enough," Glass said. "Too many of them come from the big banks. Looking toward American business after the war, the provisions of the act concerning foreign banking are modified so that American institutions may greatly extend their operations. Banks of this sort would be granted cnarters of the federal system By the new amenamcnt. Authorization of reserve notes in denominations of $1,000, $5,000 and ?iu,uuo is provided.

LEAGUE Leaders Defeated Watt Shipps la Basketball Game Last Night Capital National Bank.- Watt Shipp Co Bishops Hauser Brothers -1,000 .334 ., .334 - .223 The Capital National Bank added an other scalp to their belt when they de feated th Watt Shipp team in the first baske ball game at the Y. M. C. A. las night, by the overwhelming score of 24 to 4. The game showed no spectac ular playing, the Bankers plainly win ning through their perfect team work and well direeted goal shooting. So far the Bankers have shown themselves to be far superior to any other team in the Commercial league, having won every game in the series, and there be ing but one game with the Bishops yet to play, there is a fine chance for the Bank to win tho Commercial league series with a percentage of 1.000 per cent. However, Bishops have at last got into the game and have twice won over the Hauser Brithers team, and also over the Mauser Brothers team,aud also them to second place in the percentage list and they now expect to be able to win from the bankers. The second game was more interest ing. At the end of the first half Hauser Brothers were in the lead with the score 3 to 1. When the second half began Eoff replaced Nist as forward for the Bishops and he started scoring early in the half. This steadied the Bishop team and they piled up baskets until they had secured 9 field baskets to the Hau ser Brothers 2. This defeat brings the Hauser Brothers team to fourth place in the percentage list. Next week they will play Watt Shipp Co. The lineups for last night were: Capital National Bank:Harra, (7); Baker, (13); Socolofsky, Robinson, Steiner (4); Purvine. Watt Shipp Co:Shafer, Secor, Jas koski (4); De Lapp, Radcliff, Clark. Final Score: Capital National Bank, 24; Watt Bhipp Co. 4. Tow-ley's Position On Wheat Price Slated Bt. Paul, Minn., Feb. 21. Farmers do not desire higher wheat prices, provid ed the cost of things they buy is reduc ed, according to A. C. Townley, presi dent of the National Nou-Partisan lea gue. Denying the league would support bills in congress for increasing the wheat price to $2,50 or $3 ft bushel, Townley said: " In my opinion, these bills will please the profiteers. These sentry think they can boost prices all around, if essentials are boosted. Thus they would place the farmer in their own class. Farmers will not benefit from $3 wheat, if mill leeas, farm machinery and other necessities continue to advance. rj "Labor troubles might result, but if eongress does not give the administra tion power to compel great monopolists middlemen and other profiteers to re duce prices, then in self defense the farmer must cet more for. his wheat or farm production will fall off." Farmers Ara Hoarding. Chicago. Feb. 21. With farmers still hoarding their wheat and the govern ment continuing seizure at flour mills, there was no relief in sight- today for the nation-wide flour shortage. North west grain depots reported light re ceipts. Trainloads of flour were being sent from mills to the Atlantic coast for shipment to tho allies. State Food Administrator iiarry a. Wheeler called a meeting of 200 flour distributors of northern Illinois this af ternoon to discuss possibility of com mandeering the supply. OREGON MUST EIGHT FOR SHARE OF FUNDS Opposition to State's Claim On Proceeds of Ccos Bay Wagon Grant If Oregon is to save for its school, road and port funds a just share of the proceeds that will bo derived from the Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands, it ill be necessary to present informa tion which will convince the members of congress that the state is entitled to a aliure of the proceeds. And .just now the big job is to convince a majority of the committee on publie lands of tho lower house of congress to this ef fect. That is the situation as emphasized by Attorney General Brown and S. W. Williams, special assistant to the at torney general of the United States, following a conference between the two yesterday afternoon. As the sit uation now stands it is understood that a majority of the publie lands com 'mittee, before which is pending the Chamberlain-Sinnott bill providing for the government to retake the 93,000 acres left in tho grant, are opposed to the provisions of the bill which allow Oregon CO per cent of the net pro ceeds. To overcome this sentiment the at torney general and the officials of Coos and Douglas counties are devot ing their energies to gathering infor mation on the subject for use by the Oregon delegation in congress. Tho attorney general is sIho send- ing word to the county courts of those two counties, in wiucn tne grani lanus are located, to make arrangements to confer with M'. Williams, who attend ed the hearings held by the public lands committee on tho Chamberlain Sinnott bill, so they may obtain first hand information and a better under standing of tho situation in reference t) the bill. It is estimated tho lands aro worth a least $2,000,000, and that something over $1,000,000 would be the net pro ceeds from their disposal. This means that under tho present provisions of tho Chamiberlain-Sinnott bill the state common school fund would receive about $250,000, tho road and port dis trict funds about $2.r0,000, the U. S. reclamation fund $400,000, and tho U. 8. treasury $100,000.

Pursuing their skyward eonrse, oats and brewing bar ley moved up another mark in valua tion today, with prospects of further ad vances.

' "No, I am getting too old," said the judge to his friends. ' ' By the time an. other term should expire I would be nearly 92 years old, and it is doubtful: if I could properly fulfill the duties of the office. There are a number of younger men wiio could mi me oiuw much better than myself. I know that, there will be several candidates. I am i going to step back and give them an i open field and a fair fight und just wutch the lun." Although tho judge is an old man in point of years he still loves a iigiu and has the spirit in him that carried him through numerous Civil war en gagements. Ho intimated that if the term of office was only two years as it used to be he might be tempted to try for it again. "But let a younger man have it, said Judge Webster. "There's r'rauk Davey, for instance. He would make one of the best justices of the peace 1 know of. Frank ought to be a candidate and make a campaign for tho office. And there's Glen l.'nruh.

If people past Bixty years of age" could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for ono or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especial ly if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
