The Cerman government announced the formation of the bank and Guarantee" with a capital of $43,000,000 to facilitate the immediate financial transactions of the country and to of all make possible the German banks. The Reichsbank and eleven other leading German banks guaranteed the credits to the new bank. In addition to removing the restrictions on banking activities throughout the country, Dr. Hans Luther, president of the Reichs-bnnand Chancellor Bruenlng said dividend ratea Farrell amounts to $4 share instead cf $7 and is the lowest paid by the corporation in sixteen years. At the same time the directors dealt with the wage question through a recommendation that salaries of oflicers and employees be adjusted, leaving it to the management to determine the amount of reduction in pay. There was no mention of readjustment of wages and the officials would not comment on the possibility of this action, but in some quarters it was thought the directors were authorizing the first move in a program that would be extended to labor in case this became apparently unavoidable. President Hoover's administration took occasion to repeat its plea that there he no lowering of wage scales in key industries and of living standards, and President James A. Farrell of the United Slates Steel corporation lias been regarded as one of the stanchest supporters of this policy. The reduction in salaries, it is understood, will be put Into effect as soon as the adjustments can he worked out. The proposed cut will he applicable to all salaried employees and will average about 10 per cent, It is believed. One rumor Is that some of the higher executives will accept larger reductions. I'resident Farrell himself Is in this latter category. The exact amount of bis salary has never been made public, but one guess places It between $100,000 and k, CO I D ER A-b- le Interest Is evidenced in Washington In the political future and plans of Henry P. i i ;"xf er ll Latin-Americ- R M A N NODavis, one America's most H. of e- minent financiers and at present trustee of the Bank f of New York and ; Trust company, announced that he had accepted a post on the finance A. com-mltte- e of the a.

P. vember 13. Being M r. Interviewed, Fletcher said tersely: "My plans are Indefinite, but I certainly don't intend to go into a convent." There were rumors that he would seek the Republican nomination for the Pennsylvania senatorship as successor to Senator Davis, but this he denied. Also it was thought he might be appointed governor-genera- l of the Philippines. In view of the long experience of Mr. Fletcher In the diplomatic service and the fact he served as ambassador to both Italy and Belgium, there is talk that, if any change should be made In the office of secretary of state, he would be a logical man for the post. Following the election of Hoover In 1028, he was mentioned freely for secretary of state and for ambassador to Great Britain and ambassador to France.

The opinion reversed the conviction of five policemen of Indianapolis who last year were found guilty of conspiracy to protect a speakeasy. "That there was a conspiracy to violate the prohibition law, there can be no doubt," said the Appellate "The conspiracy court's opinion. was conceived by the three prohibition agents, who enlisted the services of a decoy, Lyle, to more effectually accomplish their object."

In New York workers In the men's and children's clothing industry went on strike on orders from the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. The objects of the strike, according to union officials, are to prevent a return of sweat shop conditions and to put an end to gangster's intimidation of union workers and officers. The two unions in the textile Industry at Pnterson, New Jersey, which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, bad scheduled a strike for August 3, but their hand was forced by a premature strike engineered by the radicals, and the more conservative ones were compelled to quit work earlier than Intended.

One Important step taken by the government was the appointment of Hermann Schmitz to assume control of all German banks during the crisis. He was made controller of the country's financial structure with power to draft plans to stop the flow of funds from the various banking houses. Herr Schmitz has been closely identified with the great chemical Industries of $150,000. from Washington on their long and perhaps perilous aerial jaunt to Japan in their big scarlet and black seaplane.

T Under the proposed system all prisoners would be paid wages, their treatment would be more hu manized, the choosing of prison of-ficials would be removed from politics and guards would be trained specifically for their task. It is advocated that "no man should be sent to a penal institution until It Is definitely determined that he Is not a fit subject probation." Extension of the parole system also is urged as the "best means yet devised for releasing prisoners from confinement." San ford Bates, director of federal prisons, replied to the Wickersham report with the statement that the government already had put Into effect the major improvements suggested. punCorporal ishment in federal prisons has been he asserted, while Imbanned, proved personnel Is being secured by requiring officials and guards to enter under civil service and to train In a school now in operation. 30,-00- IBA- ARLOS nez, ipresident and dictator of Chile, who held his own throughout all the revolutions of last year, has fallen at last. The "man of Latin-America- destiny," as he styled himself, faced with a popu- uprising that arranged, Carlos Ibanez verbally just before the general strike. The congress promptly accepted the resignation but apparently withheld the safe conduct out of the country which Ibanez asked. Therefore, in the early morning hours the overthrown dictator, accompanied by his wife and three army oflicers, tied from the palace In a motor car. At Los Andes they boarded a special train for Argentina, and it is considered unlikely that any attempt will be made to bring him back to Santiago for trial. When Ibanez fled, Pedro Opazo, president of the senate and vice president of Chile, became acting president, but he lasted only a few hours, for the people were convinced he had aided Ibanez to escape. He, therefore, stepped out In favor of Juan Esteban Montero, who presumably will be chief executive until a president Is elected. Montero Is one of the country's leading lawyers. Chile balled with approbation the announcement that Pedro one of the most popular men In Chile, had agreed to accept the post of finance minister. His "bread and water" policy during his eight-da- y term as premier has been accepted by most Chileans as a great step to rid the nation of Its economic distress. lar was all resigned Blan-quie- r, DRIDAY saw the belated dedica-- ' tlon of the marble column at Put Ohio, memorializing the victory of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry over the British In the battle of' Lake Erie in 1812.
