NATIONAL BANKS TO AID
 IN MOVING THE CROPS

Washington, July 2S-The cooperation of the national banks with the treasury department in furnishing small bills to meet the demand growing out of the move ment of the crops in various parts of the country is urged in a statement given out at the treasury department today,
 The relief sought is to have the na- tional banks issue $5 bank notes to their legal limit in place of the larger denom- nations and then to exchange their 8 certificates for $1 silver certificates of equal aggregate value. The statement in part follows
 Tt lies within the power of the na- tional banks of the country to render further material assistance in this matter. Banks are permitted under the law to take out 33 Ia per cent of their circula- tion in s5 bank notes, or about $200, 900, ,O0O They have availed themselves of this privilege to only about 19 per cent
 "The national banks could, if they de- sired, increase their bank notes by $s4,- O0O,0O0.

WHERE TAFT AND
 DIAZ WILL MEET

Mexico City, July 23.-El Imparcial pub fishes an article today, apparently o1il- cially inspired, in which 1t was stated that President Diaz would not meet President Taft at the border city of El Paso, as has been intimated in press dispatches from that place and Washington, but that the meeting, if it took place at all, would occur in San Antonio. The article declared that the International club or the latter city has been making efforts to bring this about and it was intimated that its success was probable. It is pointed out that as San Antonio is the metropolis or Texas, the city containing the largest Mexican colony it is more fitting that the historic meeting should take place there.
 While 1t was admitted officially that numerous communications relative to the meeting had been exchanged between the state departments of the governments It was denied here that anything definite had been settled. It Is said that in the next 20 days something definite would be decided upon and that before the middle of August the date and place of meet ing would be made public.

CONGRESSMAN RANDELL
 MAKES CRAFT CHARGES

Washington, July 23.-Openly charging the Congress and the court" had received and were receiving valuable gifts. em- ployment or compensation from public service corporations, trusts and persons engaged in interstate commerce or hay ing an interest in legislation, MT. Ran dell of Texas. in the House today pre- sented a resolution directing the speaker to immediately appoint the judiciary com mittee that it may consider amending the law so as to prohibit such conduct. The resolution was voted.
 MT. Randel declared that the opponents of such legislation had not only sue eeed in preventing the passage of a law of that character but even suppressed dis cusson of such measures on the floor of the House. Looking the facts squarely In the fact he said "the conclusion forced upon us causes blush to mantle

 No man, he said, could serve two mas ters. It was, he contended "a pitiable but uncontrovertibe fact that the dis interested and faithful servants of the people are helpless fin the present con- dition against the organized plunderers of the nations wealth."
 He declared that the beneficiares of special interests, "entrenched in power and firmly combined with the dominant political party" openely derided the American people and brutally demanded the pound of flesh.
 Never until officers, agents, represen- tatives and attorneys of parties interested in legislation are forced to cease such employment or are driven from the halls of Congress, he concluded. could a tariff bill be passed or legislation enacted consistent with the rights, the honor and the great name of the American people,

'In some instances it would involve the banks in some small expense and trouble of having plates engraved for $5 bank notes. But the banks would undoubtedly incur this expense and trouble if they fully understood how much 1t lies in their power to relieve the scarcity of s1 bills. For if the banks were to issue as many $5 bank notes as they can legally do in stead of issuing larger denominations, it would supply the banks with 8 bank notes and enable them to send to the treasury their $5 silver certificates to be exchanged for $1 silver certificates.
 AS in the case of money for wages or redemption, the banks can effect these exchanges at no other cost that the ex- press charges at government contract rates.
 The $2 bills have not proved popular. The banks are not requesting the ship ment of these bills and the treasury Is not issuing any extra supply of this de- nomination.

 BLOW AT TAMMANY

New York, July 23.-Mayor McCIel- Ian, himself a democrat, jolted Tam many Hall today by vetoing the re- vised building code, measure recently pushed through the board of aldermen by Tammany. It's almost prohibitory clause concerning fire proofing material, which practically gave 8 monopoly to hollow tiling, created a rumpus among politicians. The allied real estate in terests fought the proposed regulations tooth and nail.

SPANISH PEOPLE
 AGAINST THE WAR

Hendaye, France. July 2S-Mail advices from Madrid tonight say that the demon strations against the war in Morocco continued Wednesday and Thursday. When King Alfonso visited the barracks to say farewell to the soldiers bound for Morocco, the troops and their wives made violent manifestations. Three companies of Chasseuers mutinied and threatened the officers who tried to dsperse them. but finally were surrounded and deprived of their cartridges.
 During the rioting at the railway sta ton, the crowds shouted: Down with the war. and tried to wreck the cars. Troops were ordered up to aid the police in re- storing order During the manifestations women and children were trampled under foot and many of them were injured.
 The advices added that all meetings called to protest against the war are being suppressed, and that the newspapers have been forbidden to publish false dispatches from the front, under penalty of confis- cation. Public excitement is increasing

Houston, Tex, July 23.-Other than to add several hundred thousand to the mon- etary loss, tonight's dispatches from the storm-swopt coast sections of Louisiana and Texas and into the interior for 100 miles add but little to that already told of the hurricane of Wednesday. which riy- aled in intensity the storm of 1900. To- night the number of killed is conserva- lively estimated at 2S, those more or less seriously injured S7, and the property loss Is conservatively estimated at s1s1s,00n While belated reports may add to the list of casualties. and the property damage. other than to isolated points communica- tion has been restored
 Late dispatches add the towns of Rock Island, Wharton and Wemer to those which suffered to an extent from the sweep of the wind. At Rock Island nine of the largest buildings were either razed or partially wrecked the damage being estimated at s75,ooo. Fifty houses were blown down at Weimer. and the prop erty loss will approximate S100, 600. Whar- ton suffered more than from the storm of 1900. The streets are blocked with debris, and a shortage of labor is delay ing the restoring of normal conditions while from. Quintana comes the report that the soop Columbus, with all hands on board, had been blown out to sea. Dis patches tonight do not increase the list of fatalities. Whether or not the boat es- caped to some other port is not known.
 Advices show that damage was done by the storm throughout a section in Texas extending on an average 100 miles into the interior. In some counties some reports indicate that very few home own CTS escaped losses of at least a minor sort, which in the aggregate total a large sum. While the property destruction has been great the life loss and serious in- jury is almost inexplicably small. This is attributed largely to the fact that storm warnings gave the inhabitants an oppor- tunity to prepare for the expected blow
 Again, the severest of the blow came in daylight.
 In many places crops have been prostrated, but the hot sun following the hurricane is doing much to restore normal conditions in the fields and loss estimates from this source are very easy of exaggeration. Along the coast the storm extended from point near New Orleans to Brownsville, with the center of severity in the neigh borhood of Bay City and velasco At Browns Vile there was heavy wind but small damage. In the interior the damage zone furtherest north Is along the Gal veston Harrisburg and San Antonio railway, with zigzag dives at towns and Into rural districts to the north of it. The following is list of towns from which reports of the greatest damage have come:
 Galveston, Bay City. Velasco. Angle ton, Wharton, Columbia, Columbus. Dol. ..nt.- Ialra TAt. Ulma, Schukenburg. Allenton. Beasley, Kendleton, Sublime. Glidden. Markham. LaGrange, Bastrop. El Campo. Yoakunl. Garwood, Matthews, Bonus, Waelder, Flatonia and Austin.
