Jones tells Senate of UGG with trust approval
Chicago financier T D Jones, President Wilson's choice for the Federal Reserve Board governor, testifies before the Senate banking committee about his links to the Harvester and zinc trusts. He says he joined to oblige McCormick, voted with him, and fully approved the trusts' acts, opposing dissolution and a court-ordered Missouri dissolution. He also heads a Mineral Point zinc firm and sits on the New Jersey Zinc board. The committee adjourned without action as the Senate confirms Hamlin, Miller, and Harding to the Fed board. George Williams seeks resignation as U.S. minister to Greece and Montenegro.

Indiana still has funds to cover June expenses
Indiana’s auditor W H O'Brien says about 1 million dollars remains in the treasury after paying June bills, repaying borrowings, and canceling bonds. The amount covers only one month’s expenses about 400 thousand dollars, with fees and revenues expected to enter later. The finance board and attorney general debate funding for Purdue and agricultural extension, with funds to be drawn from education appropriations, not the general fund.
