plans designed to make available the
resources of the Federal Reserve Sys
tem in the annual fall movement of
the cotton and other crops, have been
worked out by the Federal Reserve
Hoard. In a letter address-."! to reg
ional banks they pointed out bow the
crop movement could be financed.
The board called special attention
to the marketing of the cotton crop
because it is "clearly to the common
Interest that credit based upon this
crop be protected us fur as possible
from the (lunger of demoralization."
It shows that no staple commodity
is subject to greater variations In
prices than cotton.
"Sudden and violent fluctuations,"
it continues, "are clearly to the ad
vantage of neither the loaning banks,
the producer, the manufacturer nor
the consumer. They offer, on the con
trary, ua inviting Held for the specu
lator." The board suggests that the Reserve
Hanks communicate with their mem
bers and others interested and point
out that cotton producers should he
gin at once arranging proper storage
anil insurance as rapidly as ginned.

r 15 Indictments Being
Prepared By Grand Jury
London, Aug. .1. According to tele
phone experts here, a vast stride ,n
tho mechaaiical perfection of the tele
phono has been made through an in
vention by Pierre de Uangc, a Dutch
engineer, who Is visiting Ixindon.
De Hange as-serts that his appli
ance goes a long way toward making
wireless telephony practical. Varieus
technical bodies In England have ex
amined his invention and think h'gli
ly of It.
The Invention is a simple contriv
ance In the receiver that regulates th-i
sound waves, eliminating the rattling
noises over the telephone and making
long-distance talking easier. The
phone will lie an aid, says De Lange
in every household or office, by doing
away with the disquieting noises thai
now ore so disturbing. Scotland Yard
has accepted De I-ange's Invention
as practical and is Installing It. De
I.anse showed Scotland Yard how It
Is possible to hear a whlf)per over the
phone thru his invention. This appeal
ed lo Scotland Yard and a comprehen
sive system is to be adopted.
The whole Idea of De lunge's In
vention is concentrated In utilizing the
air waves inside the receiver and do
ing away with resistance offered by
an electro-magneto Instead of a dia
phram. as now used in receivers. De
Inue lias a thin platinum wire In the
air chambers, which Is quickly res
ponsive, and lie says this prevents the
strong vibration that now Is respon
sible for the "Jarring" wave. De
I.ange calls his Invention a thermo
plione. COL. ROOSEVELT r STICKS

dore Roosevelt reached home, yester
day from his western trip and Issued a
statement last night relative to the re
cently published announcement of

ment said:
"As regards the Progressives who
have announced their Intention of en
rolling as Republicans in this state, I
have nothing to say except that I
think It has been fine of them to have
made the great fight they have made
during the past three years for Pro
gressive principles and I am sure tney
are acting conscientiously In the step
they now take and with the purpose of
doing what they regard as most use
ful to the community.
"Holding the convictions I do It
would be an Impossibility for me my
self to take that step. I shall enroll
as a Progressive and if any man In
this state asks my advice I shall ad
vise him to enroll as a Progressive."
Colonel Roosevelt was accompanied
home by Mrs. Roosevelt.

eral deninl of stealing tiny of the
articles, the defendant claiming he
had purchased liquor from the Redd
negro and had gone to the home the
time of the alleged burglary looking
