BANKERS WIN POINT
SENATE TO GET FINANCIERS
OPINIONS ON THE O.LA83 CUR
RENCY BILL.
TO GRANT OPEN HEARINGS
Senator Owen, Co-Author of the Ad
. ministration's Measure, 8ees Merit
Tn Plan to Reduce the Quantity of
Bank Reserves.
Washington, Aug. 20. In answer to
the criticisms of tho currency bill
made by the conference of bankers
at Chicago, the administration's forces
in the house will tighten up the lines
and a more vigorous Indorsement of
tho currency bill as It now stands will
be the result.
Informal conferences of Democratic
members of tho house currency cam
.mlttoe emphasized the fact that the
active supporters of the president's
.currency plan expect to pass tho
measure through tho house without
substantial changes.
The proposal to .reduco the quan
tity of reserves and glvo country
baoUs the privilege of keeping part of
their reserves in the large cities had
many supporters, and ultimately may
be worked Into the bill in the senate,
but the change Is not expected In the
house.
The bankers will have an opportun
ity to present their vlows openly to
congress after the currency bill gets
into the senate. Chairman Owen of
the senate currency committee said
that while hearings had not yet been
arranged he expected leading repre
sentatives of the various "factions"
among the bankers of the country
would bo invited to give their views
of the bill to tho senate committee.
"I see a great deal of merit In the
,, proposal to reduce somewhnt the
'quantity of the reserves," said Senator
Owen.
The fact that the leading bankers
bold differing views of the effect of
the new legislation, particularly with
regard to the possible reduction of
loans and curtailment of credit, has
led members of the senate committee
to believe that a further discussion
of the bill at open hearings would re
sult In winning the co-operation and
support of a large portion of tho
banking fraternity of the country.
Few of the changes advocated by
the bankers' conference in Chicago
will receive favorable consideration
frpm the Democratic forcoc in the
senate. v
Senator Shafroth, a majority mem-
ber of tho currency committee will
Introduce in tho senate a proposed
plan for the retirement of all existing
currency except silver certificates,
and the Issuance of a general form
of treasury notes secured by a 50 per
cent, gold reserve.
Senator Shafroth's bill also would
substitute treasury notes at once for
all outstanding national bank notes,
and would cancel the government
bonds that now form tho security for
the national bank currency.
Hq said his bill would save 14,
800,000 In Interest now paid by the
government on bonds used to se
cure national bank currency, a sum
that would bo Increased to $22,246,
000 If the two per cent, bonds were
refunded with three per cent
bonds.
"It would take the control of the
currency out of tho hands of the
banks and place it in the govern
ment," said Senator Shafroth; "It
would satisfy the bankers, because It
would cash their two per cent, bonds
without loss."
Representatives who support the ad
ministration currency bill won a vic
tory In tho house Democratic caucus
on Friday when they brought to their
aid and unqualified ludoiaeinent of the
measure from Secretary of State
Bryan and defeated proposed "Insur
gent" amendments that would have
prohibited interlocking directorates In
national or state banks Incorporated
under the proposed law.
Secretary Bryan, In a letter ad
dressed to Chairman Carter Class of
the currency committee approved tho
bill as it stands, declaring President
Wilson had recognized fundamental
rights of popular control in Hb provi
sions. MEN DYNAMITE NEGRO STORES

Mulhall Reiterates Charges Against
Representative McDermott
of Illinois.
Washington, Aug. 25. Reiterating
his charge that Representative Mc
Dermott of Illinois had "tipped him
off" on numerous occasions regarding
the prospects of pro-labor legislation
which the National Association of
Manufacturers desired to fight, Colo
nel Mulhall, former 'obbyist for the
association, agaiti took the stand be
fore the house lobby Investigating
committee Friday. Mulhall said that
Uhs imembered specifically that In
1910 McDermott had sent him word
I to bj on the lookout for an eight-hour
law amendment to the sundry civil
bill. I. N. McMichael, he said, was
the bearer of the McDermott warning.
Mulhall's testimony was brief and
he was asked to step aside that the
committee might hear Henry E. Da
vis, a Washington lawyer who rep
resented the pawnbrokers who op
posed the loan shark measure of the
Sixty-second congress. .Davis told
of his employment by the pawnbrok
ers, and of his presentation of the
money lenders' side to members of
congress, to committees and to Presi
dent Taft
The senate lobby Inquiry committee
subjected the officers of the Nation
al AsBociaiton of Manufacturers to
further examination. Members of the
committee were Indignant at an at
tack made upon them by an agent of
the N. A. M. who declared the com
mittee had not given the manufactur
ers sufficient time in which to deny
the charges made by Martin M. Mul
hall. As soon as H. E. Mills, D. M.
Parry and John Klrby, Jr., have testi
fied. It Is said, the committee will ad
journ Indefinitely.
H. E. Mills of Racine, Wis., former
chairman of the tariff commission of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, confirmed Martin M. Mulhall's
statement that Mulhall advancod $500
to tho estate of James E. Watson,
former representative from Indiana.
Herbert E. Miles of Racine, Wis.,
testified before the senate lobby com
mlttee that, acting for tho tariff com

Mexico City, Aug. 26. Embassy Ad
visor John Llnd was prepared to leavo
fqr Vera Cruz upon an hour's notice
Monday. Seemingly certain that the
-Mexican government has misinterpret
ed the cause of his mission, he has
abandoned his task as hopeless. The
situation is regarded as more danger
oub than at any other period during
the last six months, and can bo remo
dled only by a change In the nttltudo
with which Huerta has accepted the
peace overtures of the United States.
Washington, Aug. 26. Besides Great
Britain, France and Japan, practically
all the Central and South American
countries are lending their support to
tho efforts of the United States to
bring about a peaceful settlement of
the Mexican revolution.
That tho United States Is backed
by a world-wide sentiment in Its peace
policy Is conceded In diplomatic cir
cles here. Tangible evidences of the
attitude of Franco came Sunday In
the news dispatches from Paris stat
ing It was practically certain Presi
dent Polncare and Foreign Minister
Pichon would not receive Francisco
de la Barra, appointed minister to
France by Provisional President Huer
ta and now en route to his post.
His status, It was pointed out in the
advices from Paris, is similar to that
of Gen. Felix Diaz, special ambassador
to Japan from the Huerta administra
tion, who. It was announced at Toklo,
would not bo welcomed. Great Brit
ain's statement recently that the 'rec
ognition of Huerta had been provision
al pending an election, taken together
with expressions from France and
Japan, all of whom have formally rec
ognized Huerta, are the only public
manifestations of sympathy with ttio
policy of the United States In oppos
ing Huerta, but tn the quiet realm of
diplomacy a greater pressure Is being
brought to bear upon the Huerta
regime to yield to the American sug
gestions for peace.

"I faced the death chair twice," said
Thaw. "Why should I worry about

For 100 years after the establish?

About that time some curious dolver
among old models found one of a,
stump extractor, which contained a
vial of nitroglycerin. Tho patentee
had literally followed Instructions and
put real "working" nitroglycerin in
the model. This incident precipitated
an Immediato change of rule. Where
