Owen Says Proposed
Currency Law Will
Aid Small Banks
WASHINGTON, Aug. t-ln a circular
etter to country bankers Issued today,
Chairman bweri 'of ' the senate hanking
committed enumerated what he considered
to be the advantages to them of tho
Olass-Owen currency bill and stated that
it would relieve the banking business
from tho control of a half dozen ''very
ambitious gentlemen who could today
shake this country to Its foundation by
panics whenever they pleased."
"It an exhaustive Investigation were
made of the panlo of 1907 to osaertaln
who were tho beneficiaries of that panic,
this country would learn a much needed
lesson In finance," said he.
After an array of figures Senator Owen
reached the conclusion in his letter that
the net result of the average 1100,000
bank would be a substantial gain over
the system of approximately 13,000
a year or 3 per cent on lta capital
He deqlared another advantage of the
bill wpuld be to permit country banks
to loan half their time deposits or a
fourth of their capital and. surplus on
farm loans.
"I should bo In favor also," said he, "of
giving them other advantage's whtoh we
can do more Intelligently when we
codify the national bank act next winter."

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.-Hmmanuel
Cadtlllo Brlto, former governor of the,
Mexican state of Campeche, was ar
rested hcrctoday by federal authorities
and held without ball, preferred by the
existing Mexican authorities.
A telegram purporting to have come
from Attorney General Mollcynolds, va
rlously declared a fake nnd genuine. In
which It was requested that Brlto be ar
rested, was the medium through which
detectives say It G. Mathews, special
ngont of tho Department of Justice; J,
L. Mott, his assistant and Ernest Fer
nandez, tho Carranclsta envoy, got Brlto
to pay to Mathews 1500 on tho pretenco
that Brlto would bo protected from ar
rest StnrUeil Money Found.
Tho arresting officers say they saw tho
marked money pass from Brlto to
Matthews.
The trio was taken to tho offlco of Fed
eral District Attorney Gulon this morn
ing, where a long secret conference took
place. It was not announced whether the
government would take hold of the case
or whether tho accused men would be
given a hearing before a state court
The men have not been allowed to give
bonds. Femandex was minister from
Mexico to Honduras under tho Madero
administration.
Brlto admitted he killed two representa
tives of Huerto, who, he said, were try
ing to arrest him Illegally during the re
cent revolution.
The former Mexican governor's appre
hension came close on the heels of
charges of blackmail, which resulted late
last night in the arrest of two United
States Department of Justice agents and
representative of tho Carranza branch of
Mexican revolutionist in Now Orleans. It
wan charged that R. G. MatAews and J.
L. Mott accepted tMW In marked bills from
Brlto to protect him from arrest, the af
fair having been arranged by Ernesto
Fernandez, who claims to bo connected
with Governor Carranza.
Ilrlto Telia Story.
Brito was arraigned beforo Unntted
States Commlssloer Browne. He pleaded
not guilty and was sent to the parish
prison without ball.
I Brlto declared that when the Huerta
'agents made an attempt to arrest him
In Mexico ho knew their action would be
followed by his death, probably under
the notorious fugitive law. IIo resisted,
drawing his sword. 'The Huerta agents
took the sword from him and slapped
him with It Thereupon, Brlto says, he
drew his revolver and killed , the two
mon. This was In wartime, however, and
they were his enemies. This he said
would be his defense In resisting deporta
tion. No neqnest for Arrest.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. State depart
ment officials disclaimed today having
any request from the Huerta government
for Brlto's arrest The Department of
Justice on a direct representation, how
ever, ordered the arrest and the Huerta
government If it expects .to -extradite
Brito, now will have forty days In which
to present Its formal case, Nothing of
the merits of tho charge on which
Brito Ib held is known here.
Immediately on receipt of advices of the
arrest of the Department of Juatlco
officials in New Orleans, charged with
blackmail, A. Bruce Btelaskl, chief of tho
bureau of Investigation, today dispatched
a special agent to Investigate. J, L. Mott,
also under arrest, Is employed to watch
shipments of arms and ammunition de
signed for Mexico. The Department of
Justice will take no action until the spe

Ambassador Wilson

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Henry I.ano Wil

was the vlctom of pickpockets who se
cured his wallet containing tlfS, white
the ambassador was escorting two women
friends to a Long Island train In Penn
sylvania station yestorday, it was learned
today.
News of Mr. Wilson's loss became pub
lic when railroad detectives, who had re
ceived the ambassadors complaint had
consulted with detectives from police
headquarters. All parties were reticent
regarding the details, but it was said that
the ambassador was not greatly concerned
over the Incident He had arrived from
Washington during tho afternoon and af
ter luncheon with a party of friends he
had undertaken to escort two women In
the party to the Long Island train. A
large crowd passed about the gates and
there was a scramblo for the train, during
which tho plckpochets were evidently At
work. It was not until after he had bid
den his friends goodbye that Mr. Wilson
discovered his loss.
Thtre is no Intimation that the theft
was the work of any one seeking secret
papers In the ambassador's possession, but
that it was simply an ordinary case of
pocket picking.
Ambassador Wilson today said the
stolen wallet contained no offlolul papers.
"I lost merely my purse." he dcolared,
"and some visiting cards. The Incident
Is so trivial as to be hardly worth mentioning."

Means Non-Interference.
Far from beltur regarded
ary to interventlon-whlch President Wil
son noa told friends on various occasions
Is out of the question the request for
funds Is really thought to be the fore
runner of a policy of non-interference.
From the first the president haa bo
lleved that In crises in turbulent re
publics tho single sollcltuae of the Amer
ican government should bo the protec
tion of lives and property. Should tha
administration here adopt a policy ot
non-lnterferenco it might bo well to re
frain from action with respect to the
destruction of property on the ground
that claims for damages would, under
ltternational law, eventually, cover loss'ji.
The chief consideration has always been
nnd will be caring for the lives of Amer
icans and foreigners. In any crisis Amer
icans of means on warning would bt
able to flee the. country, but dangers
always havo beset those who. througn
lack of funds, could not make the Journey
promptly. To meet sucn an emergency,
the present request for an appropriation
is directed.
Precautionary Measure Only,,S
The administration, while honrm th.t
peace negotiations may bring the two'
ucuons to a suspension of hostilltios,
realizes that with the resignation ot
Huerta or any other political change,
Americans may become alarmed, aud th
desire to obtain funds with which to
caro for those who may be anxious to
leave Mexico Is a precautionary measure.
Secretory Bryan's request will corns up
at tho first meeting of the house appro
priation committee next week. Chair
man Flood of foreign affairs committee
said today he believed tho committee
would vote to Include the 3100,000 appro

"We at least owe It to the stranded
Americans In Mexico to provide means

said Mr. Flood.
The senate foreign relations committee

When Truth
Hurts Them
If any man is ablo to convince mo and show mo
that I do not think or net right, X will gladly change,
for I seek tho truth, by which no man was over In
jured." 31rcus AurolitiB, Roman Emperor. 1
Somo shrink and try to close their eyes and ears
to the haunting fact that the little 2YZ grains of Oaf.
feine in every average cup of coffee is the demon whih
relentlessly pursues and starts various ailments, such
as biliousness, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness,
bowel trouble, hearj; failure and a long string, of aches
and ails, taking one form in one person and jinother in
another.
The effect of repeated doses of coffee, on those,
who are susceptible to caffeine poisoning, is so .com
plex that it is difficult to foretell where its hurt will
be most serious; in Heart, Head, Eyes, Nerves or where.
The stroke of trouble will come somewhere if the
daily doses are. persisted in.
Of course if anyone prefers to treat his body in
that way it is useless to suggest relief.
Let him "follow tho trail" until badly wounded.
,,j Some go so far they can't get back to health.
Others quit tho foolish, losing game beforo fixed
1 chronic disease sets in.
There is a mighty army of sensible ones, however,
who have bravely tested the truth with their own bod
ies to see whether or not it was the truth that coffee
caused their ailments.
It's an easy test. Quit coffee absolutely for 10 days.
Take Postum hot and well-made and keep track of the
change toward health day by day.
It's tho most exquisite pleasure in tho world to be
perfectly well with all the delicate and beautifully ad
J. justed machinery of the body working in harmony, not
' interfered with by drugs, one of the most insidious and
deceptive of which is caffeine in coffee.
. This is Truth.
Meet it bravely with head up and a hearty hand
clasp. Truth thus made welcome will prove your best
friend.
Theso are facts without regard to our own opinion,
or to whether or not you use Postum.
However it is well to consider that famous food
drink because it supplies a hot beverage of the deep
seal-brown color of coffee, which turns to the rich
golden-brown when cream is added.
It has a snappy fluvor much like tho old-time real
Java, but there is no "sting" in it, no caffeine or other
dmg of any sort. It is skillfully manufactured of wheat
apd a trace of New Orleans molasses.
. It comes in two forms. One called Regular Postum,
must bo boiled full 15 minutes.
