That a great many of the national
banks In the country will withdraw from
the national banking system and stop
under the state banking system, now that
the federal curronoy bill has passed both
houses and Is likely to become law In a
short time, Is tho opinion of F. IL
Davis, vlco president of the First Na
tional bank of Omaha.
That they- will ''do no such thins," Is
the opinion of O. W. Wattles, vice pres
ident of the United States National; II.
W. Yates, president of tho Nebraska Na
tional, and Senator Joseph Millard, pres
ident of the Omaha National.
When the morning' papers stated that
the senate had passed the currency bill
with somo amendments, F. II. Davl9
aid: "It will now remain to be seen
whether the 'national names wm accept
the terms, L believe that a great many
of them will now orgnlze under the state
banking system rather' than to accept
the provisions of the currency bill In
doing a national banking business. In
fact, I believe a great many of the na
tional banks through Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas nro already preparing to get
Under tho state banking system."
Some Amendments Faroratile,
Mr. Davis believes there are some
amendments that are favorable to the
bankers of tho west, for ozample the
provision extending the time to 180 days

bill was much better than when it first
camo from tho house, although It was
yet far from a perffcet bill. "Tho interest

HITCHCOCK YOTES FOR BILL
Goes with His Party When Final
Test is Made.
MORE INTERESTED OTHERWISE
Alt Ilia Demands and Amendment
Were Blade vrlth neadlneM
to Vote rrlth Tarty at
the Knd.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Dec SO. (Special Tele-
c gram) Senator Hitchcock yesterday Jus
tified his position in behalf of the bankers
of the United States and especially the
bankers of Nebraska, by voting for an
amended currency bill which passed the
senate by a vote of H to 34, nls colleague.
Senator Norrls. finding it as easy to vots
for the measure as the Omaha senator.
Senator Hitchcock defended his vote,
which up to an hour before final action
was taken many people had supposed
would be against the bill, by the follow-
ng statement:
I have moved to substitute for the
Owon bill, as it has been amended, the
bill as reported by" tho section of the
committee to which I belong, In order
that tho struggle of more than three
months may be drawn to an orderly close
by the final vote.
Atirnyn Intended VotlnR for Dill.
"When the record of that vote shall
have been made, we will have reached
the point at which I shall be compelled
to part company with some senators with
whom for months I have been closely co
operating. Some of them will vote against
ine diii upon us iinai passage, i biihii
vote for It. I have never for a momont
had any other purpose. My whole fight
has been to strengthen and improve the
bill and to prevent hasty and blundering
legislation. To attain any measure of
success I. found it necessary to go to ex
treme lengths and to make some sacri
fices. I feel Justified by the result as
'the bill originally Introduced has been
changed oyer 60 per cent in letter and
nearly as much in spirit.' "
AVhnt lie Claims.
Senator Hitchcock then pointed out a
number of changes that he declared he
and his republican colleagues had se
cured, among them being removing the
federal reserve board from "political
subservience," Insurance of bank de
posits, Jess disturbance of business inter
ests by the new bill, equal treatment of
member banks, better discount privileges
longer time farm loans, gold redemption
of treasury notes, increased gold reserves,
tax on deficiency In reserve banks and
the reduction of reserve banks from
twelve to eight
Congratulates Country.
His committee, he said would have pre
ferred other changes, which he recited.
He said in conclusion:
'We have cause to congratulate the
country on what it has secured. I nm
glad the struggle is over. It has been
long and has resulted In a greatly Im
proved bill. I have my misgivings, of
course, as others, have. The prospect in
the United States is not altogether
bright There are clouds in the ky
Thoro may be dangers ahead. I Join
others, however, in hoping that the clouds
may be dissipated and the dangers
passed, and that this legislation may
contribute to that result"
Legal Battle is to
Follow Pinding of
New Maruell Will
A legal contest In which the relative
of tho late IUchard It Marnell are en
gaged as a result of the finding of an
unexpected will, was officially opened In

WASHINGTON, Dec SO. The greatest
anti-trust victory of President Wilson's
administration thus farthe voluntary
dissolution of the eo-called telephone
truet, commanded the attention of all ad
ministration officials today.
Next to the fact that all features
against which the government was pre
paring an anti-trust suit will be elim
inated with the consent and co-operation
of "big business" Itself without years of
court fighting, the principal topic of ais
rrnnlnn in administration circles was
what effect will the. dissolution have
on the movement tor government owner
ship? It has been expected in congress"
that such a plan would be urged as an
administration measure.
With tho voluntary dissolution of the
so-called trust actually under way, how
ever. Attorney General Mclteynolds and
the Interstate Commerce commission to
day prepared to scan the details of the
separation of tho American Telephone
and Telegraph company from the West

which threatened federal action.
Toll Concession Greatest.
Not only has tho American Telephone
and Telegraph company agreed to give
up its control of tho, Western Union, but
It has agreed not to extona us monopoly
of local companies in the telephone field.
But tho most important point to me
American people, otfltcals declare, is the
telephono company's agreement to extend

General Superintendent Stephens pf the

MATTOB.BNA, flonora,, Mexico. Dec 20.
Deserters from the federal garrison at
Guaymas, a few miles to tho south of tho.
Insurgent camp hero, were arriving today.
Their number, it waa expected', would ag
gregate COO.
Already -eleven officers have surrend
ered. Among them was Major B. Flg
ueroa, a member of the staff of General
Podro OJeda, federal commandant ut
Guaymas, and commander of the .cavalry
stationed at the gulf port.
The enlisted men appeared ln groups of
five and ten, dust covered and suffering
from want of water and food. Tho fed
eral officers here say that many havo
not reached the cqnstttutionallst lines and
are wandering-from ranch to ranch, or
are lost ln the mountains.
It was asserted that practically all of
the outposts placed about Guaymas by
the federal commander has deserted with
their arms and ammunition.
The developments since yesterday morn
ing were considered a death blow to the
Huerta government in the northwest,
marking the overthrow of General.Pedro
OJeda, whoso stubborn fighting along the
border and at Guaymas long has been n
menace to tho southward progress of
General Carranza'a forces.
Tenth Battalion Disarmed.
Deserters brought news of tho disarma
ment of the entire Tenth battalion of in
fantry numbering moro than COO men
These men were disarmed following thn
discovery ot a plot to desert In n body,
officers and men, to the insurgent side.
This is believed to have reduced the fed
eral garrison by one-half.
That General OJeda himself would ac
cept amnesty was Indicated by a report
reaching hero from Crux De Piedras, the
nearest point to Guaymas held by the In
surgents. Colonel P. Mender, command
ing the constitutionalists there, reported
the federal commander had sought an in
terview with him under the agreement
that each should leavo his base with an
equal number of men and meet on neutral
ground. Colonel Mendez said he had de
clined the offer, fearing a trap.
Garrison Completely Demoralised.
General Alfaro Obrcgon, commander ot
constitutionalist forces In the northwest,
remained here today. The federal officers
who arrived assisted in locating the
scattered groups of deserting federals.
The deserters did not constitute any one
command, Uie officers said, but came
from various regiments and battalions.
This was taken an an Indication of the
complete demoralization of the federal
garrison.
There are 1,100 Mayo Indian troops sta
tioned here under command of General
Juan Cabral, and 1,600 Insurgent troops
are at Artlx, a few miles to the north, all
of whom will be moved Into Guaymas aa
soon as the city is evacuated and it be
comes certain that there will be no dan
ger of a bombardment by the two federal
gunboats which have been lying In the
harbor.

Motion by Republican Leader Mntin
to Instruct Conferees to Hulmtl
tutp Hitchcock 11111 Is
Defeated,
WASHINGTON, Doc. 20.-After a hot
dobato In the house today, administration
leaders hod their way and sent the cur
rency bill to a conference committee.
Attempts to concur at once in tho senate
amendments were defeated 291 to 69.
A group ot middle-west democrats made
a futile fight to accept tho senate pro
visions for guarantee of deposits, re
discount ot six months agricultural paper
and flvc-j'enr farm mortgago loans by
national hanks.
With thn houno In disorder, Republican
Leader Mann moved to instruct the houso
conferees to dlsagreo to tho sennto
amendments and ngree to the "Hitch
cock" bill . rejected by tho senate. A
parliamentary wrangle ensued and an
other roll call wait ordered to shut off
debate.
Tm Amendments Accepted,
Tho bill wont to conference, however,
with tho house managers Instructed to
accept tho senate amendments extending
the ro-discount privilege to six months
commercial paper and permitting national
banks to mako five-year farm mortgage
loans.
By a vote ot 211 to 61 the democrats
voted down Instructions offered by Rep
resentative Mann to substitute the
"Hitchcock" bill.
During the dobato Representative Class
declared that no Itntnedtato agreement
between the two houses waa likely, al
though other leaders predicted early ac
tion,
There are serious differences between
the two houses,' sold jUpresentatlvo
Glass, "and I cannot see, any prospect
ot an Immediate agreement."
Then, attar, the house had wrangled
back and forth for more than four hours,
Speaker. , Clark finally. got lhlng to ii
jolnt where' ho could Ram's" tho" confer-ir
ees, and ha formally named Jteprcsenta
tives aiasi. Korbley an& Hayes.
HtHkes Buna In Hease.
On Ha way to conference tho bill struck
a anar in tho house, where a fight over
the number of conferees and the ques
tion at a separate vote on some ot tho
senate amendments caused delay. Rep
resentative Glass asked unanimous con
sent to disagree to the senate amend
monts nnd tend the bill to conference.
Hard wick of Georgia and Madden of Illi
nois contended the house should have
as many conferees as the senate and said
they desired an opportunity to vote on
some ot the amendments.
Majority Leader Underwood was given
unanimous consent fb take up the bill,
but Representative Murray of Oklahoma
moved to concur In tho senate amend
ments, and the reading of the fifty pages
of changes made by the senate was or
dered, causing a long delay In .getting
the bill before the conference committee
The fight In tho house developed a
movement to Insure retaining the senate
amendment for guarantee ot bank de
posits. Representative Glass declared the enact
ment of the measuro Into law as it came
from the senate would be a calamity.
"I want the bill sent to conference," he
said, "because 1 am convinced that ns
the bill has been completed by the sonata
It would not bo a workable law." He
pointed out several provisions In the sen
ate amendments which he said conflicted,
Mr Glass attacked the bank reserve re
quirements as amended by the senate,
A Mere Pretend,
"Under this provision," he said, "the
