RESERVE BOARD
TO BE NAMED
By President At Once, But E.
C- Simmons of St. Louis,
Has Been Dropped.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., June 15—
President Wilson has stated that
he will nominate the Federal re
! serve board under the new cur- i
rency act this afternoon, but ;
will not name the Board of Gov
ernors today.
E. C. Simmons of St. Louis
has declined appointment and
Charles S. Hamlin, assistant
secretary of the Treasury, will
probably be governor.
Other nominations will be
Thomas B. Jones of Chicago and
Paul Warburton of New York.
The circular letter sent to
! firms throughout the Southwest
and Coast country by E- iC.
Simmon, head of the
; Simmons Hardware Company of
; St- Louis whose appointment as
,a member of the Federal Re
I serve Board was generally ex
jpeeted, the White House refused
; to discuss.
Mr. Simmons’ friends claim
■ . i 11 t i* i j
■ Li let i lit; ueciintru liic appuuit
I ment, but on good authority .it
■ is learned that when copies of
the letter reached the Presi- j
dent, Simmons’ name was im-1
mediately eliminated, although !
up to that time Simmons was j
the only candidate.
The circular letter declared |
that the Simm/ons Company’s !
business was far below normal
as a result of the uncertainty re
garding crops, the freight rate
advances and the anti- trust
agitation at Washington. Cor
respondents of the Simmons
Company wrote President Wil
son and Congressmen to ad-;
joum and “give the country a 1
rest.” !*••. .. : m ,•
