BANK PROBLEMS
FIGURE IN TRADE
RUSSIA, JAPAN
TOKYO, Aug. 21. (vP)—The resump
tion of trade relations between Russia
and Japan has attracted the attention
of Japanese to the question of banks
and currency in Russian territory.
The unit of currency now employed
in Vladivostok is the chervonets, be
ing equivalent to 10 of the former gold
rubles, $5.15 in American money and
10.30 yen at the par of yen. The cher
vonets is now being quoted in Vladi
vostok at 13.4 to 13.5 yen.
The only foreign bank at present
in operation in Vladivostok is the
bank of Chosen, Branches of the Yo
kohama Specie Bank, and the Hong-;
kong and Shanghai Banking Corp.
formerly maintained in that city were
closed during 1924. The Bank of
Chosen also has an office at Alexan- j
drovsk.
The Bank of Chosen notes circulate
together with Japanese currency, in
Chosen (Korea) and since December
1, 1917, they have been the sole legal
tender throughout Kwantung and the
South Manchurian Railway zone in
Manchuria and even in the coastal re
gions of far eastern Russia.

! merchandise to Vladivostok are fi
nanced by Japanese banks; that is,
no drafts are discounted against doc
uments, and no bank will buy export
bills on Russia. Japanese exporters
deliver their goods in Vladivostok, re
ceiving payment from the Russian gov
ernment in chervontsy, which are then
exchanged at the Bank of Chosen for
notes or drafts on the latter banks.
At present two Russian banks are
located in Vladivostok, both govern
metal institutions. One is a branch
of the Russian State Bank, which is
a bank of issue. The other is the
Russian Far-Eastern Bank, a semi
governmental institution supported by
both the Central and Far Eastern So
viet governments. Its head office is
in Chita, and it has been organized
principally for foreign trade.
The Russian Far Eastern Bank, has
made application through the prefec
tural government of Hyoko for the es
tablishment of a branch in Kobe, and
it is stated that further branches are
planned for Tokio and Hakodate.
Bulgarian Wheat Crop
Very Large This Year
SOFIA, Aug. 21. (/p)—One of the
results of the promised bumper wheat
crop viewed with favor by the Bul
garian people is the assurance of the
abolition of mixed bread. Bulgaria
will have plenty of wheat for its do
mestic use3 and expects to have sev
In anticipation of this, bakeries have
eral millions of bushels for export,
begun to materially lessen the admix
ture of corn in wheat flour. The re
turn of the unadulterated wheat loaf,
absent from the counters of the bak
eries for many months, now is look
ed upon as a certainty.
While taking on fuel at the Stan
dard Oil dock at Ketchikan recently,
the purse seine boat Pioneer II took
fire, the blaze being subdued only
after a stubborn fight by the local
firemen, the Standard Oil Co. em
ployes and the crew of the boat. The
damage is estimated at about three
thousand dollars.

Scenes of Anto Fatalities
In Ohio Marked by Cross
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 21. (jP)—•
Dotting the sides of Ohio’3 highways
throughout the length of the state at
frequent intervals stand white cross
es. They mark spots where automo
bilists have been killed.
Automobile drivers rounding a
sharp curve in many sections come
squarely upon a w'hite cross, or pos
sibly two or three, mute reminders
that one or more persons have been
killed at that spot.
Governor Vic Dohaney wa3 respon
sible for the placing of the crosses.
It was his idea that they would help
to cut down automobile fatilities by
making drivers more cautious. They
have not been installed long enough
however, to draw any conclusions.
Many automobile drivers declare
they experience a sinking sensation
when they suddenly come upon the
crosses. The governor has been
condemned for the move on the
ground it gives rise to morbid thots;
others have praised it as being a good
“sedative” for reckless drivers.
Report Shows 111 Killed
In Fireworks Accidents
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. (JP)—'The re
sults of a survey of causaltie3 of this
year’s Fourth of July celebration by
the American Museum of Safety and
the National Committee for the pre
vention of blindness given out today,
shows that 111 were killed and 1,030
injured. The analysis is made of re
ports from 500 cities in 36 states. A
majority of the victims were child
ren. Approximately 800 of the cas
’d t’tie; occurred July 4, while moto
that, two hundred were re^ircied be
fore anu after Independence Day w :h
some as early as June 24, and others
as late as July 23. On’y 30 of the
casualties occurred in connect’o i with
public celebrations.
The report gives evidence of only
62 arrests.
Of the 111 deaths 37 of the victims,
mostly children, lost their lives as a
result of their clothing being Ignited
by so called harmless sparklers Six
very young children are reported to
have died from poison by eating fire
crackers.
1 iie largest list of casua tie?, was
repoiled from St. Louis where 73 per
sons were seriously hurt and 60 suf
fered minor injuries. A statement
accompanying the report says: The
•acc that in New York City among
a population of more than six million
there were only ten casualties, is con
vincing evidence of the effectiveness
of restrictive legislation properly en
forced.”
The statement emphasizes that the
study represents only a part of the
actual sacrifice of life and limb as no
reports were received from 12 states
including several in the South, where
few restrictions are placed on the
sale and use of firecrackers.
Dan A. Moreny and Mary Anderson
of Cordova -were quietly married by
Commissioner E. P. Harwood, at his
