Fletcher Denies Leave
To American Sailors

VERA CRUZ. Nov. 6.-The unrest
here today caused Admiral Fletcher to
deny shore leave to all officers and
men of the American warship fiotilla.
He wishes to avoid friction with the
natives. who are wildly excited over the
story that John Lind. President Will
sons special envoy to Mexico, had con-
firmed the reported notification that
General Huerta must relinquish the
provisional presidency.
Lind was silent today, but 1t was said
on good authority that he did not con-
firm the report that President Wilson
sent Huerta an ultimatum. Lind was
quoted as saying that the United States
had verbally told General Huerta that
he must resign and see to it that he is
not succeeded by any of his family or
close advisers.
This. of course, was nothing new, but
its repetition caused excitement among
the natives and the newspapers here
The United States now has seven war
craft here, and the report that two NOR
vessels have been ordered into Mexican
waters, made a decided impression on
the Mexicans. Admiral Fletcher has
made the Rhode Island his flagship in
stead of the Louisiana.
The German warship Bremen today
anchored of Tampico. Her commander
sailed from here after a conference with
Admiral Fletcher. and ii was reported
that trouble had broken out at Tampico,
but this was unconfirmed.

French Deny Report
Of Gen. Huerta's Request

PARIS, Nov 6.-TNe French foreign
Office today denied the report that Gen.
eral Huerta, provisions. President OF
Mexico, had asked France to mediate
in Mexico's misunderstanding with the
United States.
France has not been asked to med
late either by Huerta or any other per-
son or government" an official said.
such a report is absurd on its face.
There is. officially, no difference be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
so how could there be mediation by a
foreign power?"
A diplomat in high standing said that
IN his opinion the dozen or more Mex
lean canards that are yeXing the Wash
ington Government in regard to Mex
leo, have been circulated maliciously
for the purpose of creating an interna-
tional impression that President Will
sons policy is vacillGting.
''That Is absurd he said. Because
the policy of the United States toward
Mexico has been most consistent from
the outset"

Decides on Public
Ownership Of Banks

Public ownership and lhNblic control
Of the regional reserve banks was DE-
cided on by the Senate Banking aand
Currency Committee today.
This highly important step was taken
by a voice of to 8. Senators Reed
and Hitchcock voted with the Repuon-
cans for this proposition. Strong oo-
lection has been raised in many quar-
ters because the Administration bill as
it passed the House provided for bank
control and bank ownership OF the re-
glonal banks.
Under the resolution as passed, the
directorate of each regional bank will
consist of five named by the Govern
ment and four named by the banks.
Under the bill that passed the House,
the banks would have selected six and
the Government three.
The resolution provides that subscrip-
tions to the capital of the regional bank
ing system shall be open to the public
for sixty days. The banks will under
write the capital and take what the
public does not take.
In the form in which the resolution
finally passed, 1t was prepared by Sena-
tor Weeks but was q composite of ideas
of Senators Reed, Hitchcock and Weeks.
The fact that Senator Weeks was at
the White House last night leads to
the impression the plan will satisfy the
President.
The fact that Senator Kern, Demo-
Democratic senators to return to Wash
irgton to be prepared for a Democratic
caucus next week, was learned today.
At the same time, it is asserted that
whether there is caucus will depend
on what the committee does. More
over, though it is going to take time.
indications are fairly good that a bill
will be worked out by the committee
in non-partisan fashion, on which the
committee can agree, and which the
President will be willing to sanction.
This is the situation following on the
conference last night between the Presi-
dent and Senator Weeks Of Massachu-
setts.
Senator Wilson is understood to have
been assured by Senator Weeks that
there would be no central bank, but
that a regional system under Govern
ment control would DE worked out.
On this basis, the President is show
ing willingness to meet the committee
half way on a number of debatabv
features OF the measure. These include
the question of personnel of the Federal
reserve board, the method of control of
th regional banks. whether lawful
money shall be used for redemption of
notes, and the number of regional
banks. President Wilson does not in
sist on twelve regional banks but op-
poses fewer than nine, though he might
60 as low as five.
Senator Vardaman.- who also discus
sed the currency situation with the
President, was equally positive in as
eerting that he would not vote for re-
port from the committee to which the
majority of the Democrats in that body
had not given their Endorsement
81. for one" he said, lam in favor of
submitting the question to a caucus,
but to an open caucus"
Other Senators who discussed the
situation with the President during the
day were Senators ]. Hamilton Lewis
OF Illinois, and Senator Lane. of Oregon
