To Give Coin To
Revive Business
Washington, July 31.—The Federal
Reserve System Sunday stepped into,
the industrial situation of the Nation
and acted to furnish money to revive
industry, trade and agriculture.
While the amount placed at the dis-
posal of current business is unlimited,
the board made no estimate of how
much it would be.
Acting under an amendment to the
Federal Reserve law signed by Presi-
dent Hoover, July 21, the board au-
thorized Federal Reserve Banks to
make direct loans to individuals, part-
nerships and corporations for an
emergency period of six months be-
ginning Monday. The loans may be
made upon paper eligible for redis-
count by the Federal Reserve Banks
and must be signed to finance current
business operations.

Manchurian
Difficulty Boils
Over Week End
Tokio, July 31.—Sino-Japanese dif-
ficulties in Manchuria boiled sudden-
ly into action over the week-end.
Briefly they were:
The death of General Ma Chan
Shan, the Chinese hero of Nonni Riv-
er bridge, killed in action against
Japanese troops north of Hailun
Manchuria.
The execution by Japanes of two
air raids over Jehol province between
the great wall and Manchuria proper
and a threat of more bombardment
if Chinese forces continued to gather
along the Jehol border.
Continuation of the postal and cus-
toms dispute, with mountains of mail
piling up in Manchuria.
Announcement by the Nanking gov-
ernment that heavy duties will be im-
posed on luxuries to account for cus-
toms retained by Manchukuo.
Meanwhile, China was harrassed by
cholera and floods. The disease was
in the Yangtze valley and the floods
in the Yellow river valley and in
Canton, where 200 lives were lost.
Mt. Pleasant Is
Again Defeated
In Sunday’s Game
Mt. Vernon took the measure of the
Mt. Pleasant team Sunday afternoon
in another game full of errors and
costly plays. Wright pitched a good
game for the locals, but was given
poor support, while Mt. Vernon back-
ed up Temple very nicely. A big
crowd was present, in spite of the
unusually hot weather.
The box score:

Topeka, Kan., July 31.—A young
physician who applied tourniquet ban
dages to his mangled legs after they
had been almost cut off by a speed-
ing train, was recovered Sunday night
in a hospital here.
Dr. Paul E. Belknap, a graduate of
the Harvard medical school, was
making an emergency call when his
motor car plunged over an embank-
ment about five miles from Topeka.
He was hurtled out of his automobile
and fell unconscious on the railroad
tracks below.
A passenger train passed over his
legs, the wheels crushing him. The
train went on. The doctor regained
consciousness.
Dr. Belknap, realizing he probably
would bleed to death before help
chanced along the desolate stretch of
tracks, dragged himself to his auto-
mobile. His medical kit supplied
enough bandages for a tourniquet on
one leg. He stripped off his shirt
for the other. .
Three hours later he was found sit-
ting propped against a tree. He was
brought to a hospital here where both
legs were amputated.
