By EDWARD W. PICKARD CK)LLOWING a series of confer- I " ences with bankers, business men ?and economists. President Hoover called to the White House the lead ing members of the senate and house, both Republican and Democratic, and laid before them a com prehensive plan to stabilize the domestic banking situation and relieve the depres sion. In general his project received the approval of his hear I era, and he then an nounced It to the peo Presldent pie of the country, Hoover. asking their full sup port. Briefly summarized, what the Pres ident proposes is: Creation of a corporation hy pri vate bankers, with capital of $300, 000,000, to take up the "frozen" pa per of Insolvent banks and other financial Institutions and otherwise to give elasticity to the financial situa tion. He said $150,000,000 of the stock already had been subscribed. j Liberal izatlfin of the rediscount lim itations by which the reserve board Is now prevented from accepting cer tain classes of securities. Expansion of the federal land hank system to provide further credit ac comodations for the farmers. Mr. Hoover also told the congress men assembled that he planned to discuss with Premier Laval of France, when the latter comes to Washing ton, the possibilities of an extension of the International moratorium. This was the only thing that brought forth any decided objection from the: lawmakers. Some of them said Ihe time for this had not yet arrived. The President said the congress leaders had agreed, regardless of party, to put through the legislation that might be needed to make his plan effective, hud It was not thought a special session would be necessary. If the privately financed institution falls to restore business confidence, lie said, he would recommend the for mation of a federal financed corpora tion similar In character atyl purpose to the War Finance corporation of World war days. DEATH, sudden and unexpected, came to Dwlght W. Morrow In Ills home at Englewood, N. J., and the United States lost one of Its best and most useful citizens. TKA aaw ??????? New,Jersey was I strjeken with a cere- I bral hemorrhage as he I slept, and passed I away without regain- I lng consciousness. He I was fifty-eight years I old, and while he had I accomplished a great p deal In his too short l| life. It was the gen- ? erai Denei tnat , ne was, as Ambassador Morrow. Dawes said, "at the threshold of ? great career of public usefulness." ? At Senator Morrow's deathbed were Mrs. Morrow, her daughter, Elisabeth, and a few other relatives. Another daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, Is In China with her hus band. Mrs. Morrow./ sent the Lind berghs a cablegram announcing tint death. The youngest daughter, Miss Constance Morrow, was away at Smith college, and the senator's son, Dwight \V. Morrow, Jr., was at Am herst. Born Id West Virginia anil educat ed at Ambers/. Mr. Morrow went through Columbia law school ,snd was successful It) the practice of law. Coming Into contact with big finan ciers. ha was made a partner in the great hanklqg house of J. H. Morgan k Co. tie gave the government emi nent ^service during the war. and aft erward was made amhnssndor to Mexico. In "this post he displayed remarkable skill as a diplomat, set tling In . a few months controversies that had long been the cause of ex treme III feeling between the Amer ican and Mexican governments. While he was ambassador his daughter was married to Colonel Lindbergh. Giving up the Mexican |>ost, Mr. Morrow announced his candidacy for the senate, and It was characteristic of bis straightforwardness that be at the same time declared himself In favor of rei>eal of the Eighteenth amendment. Ills victory at the polls was no surprise, for the |>eople of his stata held Mm In high regard. In ? deed, all the nation liked and ad mired him, and he w?? considered Presidential timber, though Ills name might not have been presented to the Republican ' convention of 1032. Putst year Mr. Morrow was one of the leading members of the American delegation to the I-ondon naval con ference, and the foreign statesmen who met him then heard of his death with deep sorrow. President Hoo ver's statement, on henring the sad news, was: J "The country has suffered a great loss In the death of Senator Morrow. His loyal and generous character as a neighbor and a friend; his pnhlic spirit as a citizen; his service during the war; his accomplishments as am bassador to Mexico; his unique con tribution to the success of the I<on I don naval conference?are the record of that sort of American who makes j our country great." LATIN America launched a strong attack on the tariff policy of the United States Immediately after the opening of the Pan-Amerlcari com inerciiii congress in Washington. Robert P. La moot, secretary of commerce, was in|4 the chair, and both he and Silas H. Strawn, president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, tried to head off the tariff discus sion, but without suc cess. The issue was _ _ , raised at once by R. P. Lamont. (he de|eBat|on and Its proposal that there .be a two years' truce on customs Increases was backed by the representatives of sev eral other countries. At the same time the Argentine del egation filed In behalf of one of Its members. Luis Flore, representing the Buenos Aires Chamber of Commerce, a hitter Indictment of American pro tectionism. Senor Flore charged that the United States with Its tariff bar riers "Is largely to blame for the pres ent evil situation" of the world eco nomically. Following the example of the United States, or seeking reprisal, other nations had adopted a protec tionist program with disastrous re sults on trade, he said. Chairman Lamont blamed the World war for the economic situa tion. The more direct factors, he said, were overproduction, overspecu latlon. artificial price stabilization ef forts and unwise budgetary practices, and he urged each country to correct Its own mistakes. SPEAKING of armaments. Senator Claude A. Swnnson of Virginia has Just put forward a proposition so simple that It sounds foolish?-and .perhaps It Is. His plans is mat rresi- ? dent Hoover nrrnnge I for a naval building ? holiday with the otb- ? er great naval pow- I ers, which would be K all right except that W the holiday Is to he ? observed by all of I them except the I United States. Brief- I ly, lie warns Wie * oilier tiowers almost to stop building na- 8*n^ 8w*n*0n val vessels until America can gradual ly arid slowly Increase Its fleet up to thsf limits ,of the London pact and modernize Its now outranged battle ships. "It Is Incumbent upon the United States to submit a definite proposal for a naval holiday," Senator Swan son said. "It seems to me we can properly do this and submit a proposal In which we can obtain aecnrtty and at the same time practice economy. The United States Is at present, under the terms of the London conference,, In agreement with Great Britain for equality In naval power and In an agreement with Japan for a substan tial ratio of Ave for the United States, and three for Japan." WHEN the American federation of Labor opened Its annual con ventlon In Vancouver. B. C.. Prest ldent William Green lost no time In setting before It and before the na tion the serious conditions that exist. He warned Industry that "revolutions In the past grew out of distress add hunger," and demanded that anoth er point be added to the bill of rights ?the right to work. He Insisted that standards of Jife and living must be maintained if a high level and that the policy of catting wages was all wrong. Recommendations of the executive council, contained in its annual re port, included the following: President Hoover should call a na tional conference of employers and labor to discuss how all workers may share in available employment. Immediate Inaugurated of the five day week and the shorter work day. The wage structure aud wage standards should be maintained. A guarantee that ail now employed shall be assured their positions and that work be shared equitably by all through spreading working hours. Prohibition of child labor. Stabilisation of industry, especially those seasonal in character, by carry ing on improvements during slack pe riods. While not liking the dele, the coun cil said there must be either work or unemployment Insurance. On the question of modification of the Volstead act the executive coun cil again expressed itself as favoring 2.75 per cent beer. TOWARD the end of the week the District of Columbia grand Jury started on an Investigation of the charges that Bishop James Cannon, Jr.. and Ada L. Bur roughs conspired to violate the federal corrupt puctice act during the last i'res I den tin I campaign. Miss Burroughs was treasurer of the anti Sinith committee in Virginia, which was headed by the hishopT Uulted States District Attorney Leo A. Ho . . ver is directing me Bishop James |nql|)ry an? ,le gay, Cannon, Jr. fhe charges u gainst the two resulted from their alleged failure to tile a proper report of cer tain campaign expenditures with the clerk of the house of representatives, as required by law. The 1028 Presidential campaign ac tivities of the Virginia clergyman are still under investigation by the state campaign funds investigation commit tee headed by Senator Geruld P. Nye. ? ? v ? ' FIRST nonstop airplane flight from Japan to the United States was made by Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon. Jr., the young Americans who flew across the Atlantic and then on to Japan, where they were arrest ed and fined for flying over and pho tographing fortifications. Starting from Samushiro beach and dropping their landing gear, they took the course over Dutch Harbor and down the coast to Seattle. Hut they didn't stop there. Instead they circled Mt. Rauier three times and flew on to Wenatchee, Wash., the home of Pang bom's mother, and there made a peril ous landing In the dust. The little capital of the apple country wont wild over the boys, and a represent ative of the Japanese paper Asahl handed them a check for $25,000, the prize for which they were trying. PARLIAMENT was prorogued on Thursday and a call was issued for j a general election to take place Octo- I ber 27. Prime Minister MacDonald's I national government decided not to re sign but to go before the electors as constituted. The campaign already is under way. Many of the Liberals pledged their support to MacDonald. Julius Curtius resigned as foreign minister to Germany because of the at tacks of the Nationalists due to his failure, to bring about the Austro-Ger man customs union. Next day the en tire cabinet resigned and Chancellor Bruening was instructed by President Von Hindenburg to form ? new gov ernment with enlarged powers.

BEDTIME STOW FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER RABBIT THINKS THINGS OVER - PETER RABBIT sat looking oyer his shoulder mournfully. He was looking at that* funny little tall of his, which, since Old Man Coyote had pulled a tuft of hair out of the mid dle of It, looked funnier than ever. You kuow that tall f I ways has worried Peter. If Peter ever is envious It Is when he sees some one with a beautiful tail. It was bad enough to have noth ing but a little white bunch for a tall, and now to have that torn and ragged ?ot dear I Peter felt so badly that 1 be almost forgot to be thankful that It was only his tsll and not he himself that Old Man Coyote had got hold of. But Peter Isn't the kind to worry for very long over thiDgs that cannot be helped. "The hair will grow out Th? Little 8ten Looked Down on Him and Winked and Twinkled. ?gain and then 017 tall aurh aa It la, will be aa good aa ever. Besides, when I am sluing on It no one can aee It," thought he. 80 he atopped worrying about hla tall and began 10 think over the warn ing Old Man Coyote had given blm. "He aaja I've got to get him a tat gooae to moke up for the one I cheat ed him out of by waking Honker and hla followers over there In the pond of Paddy the Beaver or elaa I never will get back to ttla dear Old Brier - Patch," thought Pater. "Ba known . ? v very well thnt 1 couldn't get him n fat goose If I would and that I wouldn't If 1 could. It's Just his way of telling | me that lie Is bound to get even with me and that lie's made up his mind to catch me. Probably he's biding some where along the way to the dear Old Brier Patch this very minute. "Now. If It were Keddy Fox, I wouldn't mind so much. But Old Man Coyote la so very smart and clever that I'll have to use all my wits to keep out at his way. 1 could fool Red dy, but Pin not so sure about Old Man Coyote. He knows I can't stay here forever. There Isn't enough to eat In this old bramble-tangle. And he knows, too, that I will want to get bnck to Mrs. Peter. She'll be worried most to death. Peter, you've certainly got yourself Into a peck of trouble this night. It won't be safe for you to poke your nose outside of tbU bram ble-tangle tonight, that's sure. Hut . you're glad you saved those geese even If It did get you Into a heap of trou ble. Now you've got to think of some way to get out of it. So Peter made himself as comfort able as possible nnd settled down to do some hard thinking. The little stars looked down to him und winked and twinkled, which was their way of try ing tovtel! him to keep his courage up. And so the night passed The little stars winked themselves out and dis appeared. The Black Shadows re freared deeper and deeper Into the.. . Green Forest until at last the first, . Jolly Little Sunbeam came stealing a Ions nnd crept into the old brumble tnngle and kissed Peter on the nose.

"Perhaps."* thought Peter, -Old Man Coyote was Just trying to score me. Usually lie spends the day in hit house up In the Old Pasture. But y??t never can tell what he'll da I wish 1 had wings nnd could fly: 1 wish hello! WUnt's Sammy Jay making such a fuss about?** > Peter pricked up Ids ears and lie tened. Finally there came to him tbo harsh voice of Sammy.Jay, "Thief! Thief! Thief'.*' screamed Sammy, and his voice enme from over near the edge of the flreen Forest* Peter sighed, r - , "I guess there Is nothing to do hut ti stay right there.** he muttered. "Sammy has found Old Man Coyote hiding over there. I know It just at well ns If I were there and could See him with my own eyes. Sammy.el-, wayo screams that way wher lie sees Ok*. Man Coyote.
