Mr. Crisslnger and Senator Hitch-roc- k are working along somewhat different lines, but both have in mind fife creation of an agency which will help to stabilize internaionnl exiliange. The Hitchcock bill establishes a bans tf millions with a capital of $2400,000,-IMiO- . It provides that the secretary of the treasury shall subscribe t0 Of that capilal for ihe Uniten States, paying of it in gold s and In bonds which he has under his Control. These bonds might be British bonds or French bonds or any other bonds o solvent' nations. The bill provides that $200,000,000 of the ijtock of the bank shall he sold to the American people, principally to bankers, exporters and Importers interested in international commerce. The remaining $900,000,000 of the capital would be offered to the other nations of the world witli the privilege s d of paying in gold and in acceptable bonds. The bill permits the other nations by treaties made .through the president of the United States to establish their rights as stockholders in the bank. ' Criticism- reefed against - the Hitchcock bill on the ground that it provides for governmental participation In the banking business. Senator McLean of Connecticut!, who is chairman of the committee on banking and currency, before which the bill is pending, holds the view 'that if a bunk of this kind is established the capital should come from private personsand not be taken out of the treasury bf the United States. Leading hankers of the country hold the same view Senator Hitchcock, however, in answering these .arguments, contends that such a bank to be successful must have the power of the government belli ml it and thut, furthermore, it (mist have the bucking not only of the government of the United States, but of a union of govern-men- ts ' Gen.

Father Patrick Heslin Enticed From Home On Plea Of Sickness San Francisco A ransom of $50,-00was Friday asked for the return of Rev. Father E. Heslin of Coimar in a letter to Archbishop Edward J. Hanna, according to the police. Rev. Heslin, who had only been In charge of the Colma parish for two weeks, disappeared Tuesday after he had supposedly gone to bear a deathbed confession and administer last 0 rites. Archbishop Hanna turned the letter over to the authorities, who believed that Rev. Heslin is being held In the country somewhere between Colma and Salada beach. The letter stated that the exact conditions on which the priest would be released would be made Ijpown Inst nlgbt by a telephone Call,1 but no such , call was received. It Is thought possible the kidnappers hoped to obtain a large ransom from the Knights of Columbus, who have been In session here. - It Is also considered possible by the police that the demand for the ransom was made by swindlers, and not those having anything to do with Rev. Heslin's disappearance. Denver, Colo.
