Skaters Are Abusing
Privileges at Pond
. Persons using the Community
Skating Pond on Cottage Hill pro
vided through the courtesy of steel
plant officials, are abusing their
privileges, it was learned this morn

may mean the closing of fiie pond,
it was intimated. According to au- j
thorities some of Steelton's dis- '
tinguislied residents are among the
violators. Among the violations < I
the rules is reported the removal
of boards from the fence to gain
entrance to the pond after it has I
been closed. It is understood an of- i
ficer will be placed at the pond to
take all violators into custody.

A. E. F. Officers Were
Penalized by Baker
Washington, Dec. 30. Army offi
cers who served with the A. E. F.
in France feel that the course pur- ,
sued by Secretary of War Baker and
General Peyton C. March, chief of
staff of the army, in dealing with
demotions has penalized overseas
service at the expense of service at
home and has had not only that ef
fect, but will result in placing offi
cers who served overseas behind of
ficers who served at home with the
same rank in chances of promotion.
Such has been the record thus far
in handling the problem that many
are asking whether Secretary Baker
and General March, after trying sev
eral methods and doing former A. E.
F. officers the maximum of harm,
have not now thrown up their hands
and put the whole question up to
Congress. There have been repeat
ed changes in policy, but their upshot
has been that the case of many A.
E. F. officers was so serious that
General Pershing has had to take up
the cudgel for them.
NEW YEARS AT P. O.
On New Year's Day, the Main
Post office and Hill Station will be
closed from 10 a. m. to 12 p. m.
One general delivery and collection
of mail will be made by the city

Federal Reserve Boards
to End Undue Speculation
Washington, Dec. 30. — New dis
count rates and interest rates on de
posits, designed to provide an indirect
check on further expansion in specu
lative operations, will be discussed at
a general conference of bankers called
by the Federal Reserve Board to
meet here January C.
The constant bidding of great fin
ancial houses for balances of smaller
banking institutions through the of
fering of higher rates of interest on
deposits was viewed by many officials
as being conducive to speculation.
Federal Reserve Board officials hope,
through the coming conference, to ef
fect a change in the present relation
ship between interest rates on de
posit and the discount rates of the
Federal Reserve Bank, of New York.

Tells of Plot to
"Get" Captain Detzer
\fiy York, Dec. 30.—The alleged
plot to "get" Captain Karl W. Detaer,
on trial charged with cruelty to
American soldiers at De Mans, was
told to Sergeant Stephen Madden,
former (lrst sergeant in the D. C. T.
[Company, he testified yesterday,
through a hole dug under a two-foot
I wall separating his cell from that of
Sergeant Frank Hoyt, his informant.
According to Madden, who was
[formerly in the Pennsylvania State
Constabulary, Hoyt told him through
the underground passage that "the
I only way for him to get out of trou
ble was to put the blame on Captain
| Detzer." Hoyt also informed him.
Madden testtfled, that he had got
Sehmitt, Dacey, Yates and other pris
oners to make statements incriminat
jing Detzer to the inspector general.
The witness denied ever having
'seen in France, Murray Phillips, of
, Brooklyn, who testified at the trial
jthnt Madden had stolen 5100 francs
[iroin liini on July 16, 1919, in the D.
C. I. prison at Ijo. Mans, and had dl
hided it with Captain Detzer. On.
ithat date, he said, he was a prisoner
■ in solitary confinement.
! Madden admitted under cross
examination that he had "smacked
I several prisoners in the mouth for
I insubordination to examining officers,
lie accused Sergeant Hoyt of bru
talities.
