TO SIGN CURRENCY
BILL ON MONDAY
Measure Being Placed in
Shape by Senate and
House Conferes.
B L L SATISFACTORY.
Its Passage Last Night Brings to a
Close neutrality-suspicious. Are
Still Pessimistic.

Washington, Dec. 20.-With the
currency bill passed by the Senate.
the measure goes to conference COM
mittee today, and all the indications
favor speedy final enactment and
signature by the President.
Unless there are unexpected COM
plications, the bill will be agreed 10
by the two houses in time for the
President to sign it Monday night or
TuesGay.
All that is now left for Congress is
to agree on points of difference and
detail as between the Senate and
House measures and then will follow
the tremendous administrative task
of organization.
This herculean duty will fall in
large measure on the shoulders of
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoO
and also on the men who go on the
organization committee The Federal
Reserve Board named under the bill
has the ultimate responsibility for or
ganization of the system, piece of
executive work comparable in magni-
tude with the greatest that has been
undertaken by any set of officials
since the foundation of the govern
ment. On the perfection of the work
will largely depend the success of
this work will largely depend the
success or failure of the new sys-
tenn.
In view of the fact the Administra-
ton has been complaining of the de-
lay of Congress, it is now up to the
administration to see there is as
little delay as possible in getting the
new system organized. And it is
generally believed there will be just
as little boiling as possible in this
matter.

Mexico City, Dec. 20.-Another de-

rebels, heavily reinforced in numbers,
arms, and ammunition was consider
ed inevitable here today. Renewed
fighting at the seaport was expected

Latest reports In the capital were
that he rebels, carrying eight big
guns were advancing on Tampico.
The besiegers, it was officially
stated, have obtained an additional
car of rifles and two cars of powder.
together with two cars of dynamite
and eight locomotives.
Their plan is to blow up all means
of retreat open to the federals, which
at the same time would cut off the
APPROACH of reinforcements, and then
make a concerted attack on the
town proper.
The oil companies have emptied all
the big oil tanks in anticipation of
the renewed attack.

This Sum, in Addition to
Usual Appropriation,
Said to be Required.
$4,000 ARE ILLITERATE.
Compulsory Education Said to be I'm
polite Under Present Unsatisfac-
tory Conditions.

! Richmond, Va, Dec. 2O.-Education-
al needs Of Virginia from the barest
one-room mountain school house to
the comprehensive plans for enlarge
ment of the University of Virginia,
and for the creation of a coordinate
college for the higher education of
women, were presented to the Senate
finance committee ia series of hear
ings yesterday.
The utter inadequacy of the State
! to carry on the work of public adu-
cation was graphically brought out
from the statement that there are
today $1,000 white persons over ten
years of age in Virginia who can
neither rea:, nor write-that there
are all over the State large groups of
children absolutely without access TO
itany schooi-that the average pay for
! teachers throughout the state is less
than $26S per annum, on to the show
ing that the state maintains four
collegiate institutions for men, but
has no :chool for the higher education
of women, even of sufficiently high
standard to train it's own high school
teachers.
Facts and figures were presented to
ishow that Virginia is far behind states
of similar per capita wealth ii its
provision for education, and in the
total value of schol property. With
all the progress the State has made
financially and in other directions, the
appropriation for common school edu-
cation-that is for the support Of the
small country schools-is now no
larger than it was in 1906.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton r. C. Stearnes led in the presen-
tation of the scholo budget, and bol'-
ly asked for an immediate increase Of
not less than 100000 for the common
schools alone. Laws for compulsory
Education, he said, wer eutterly futile,
while in many sections the state pro-
vides neither the teachers nor the
schools.
In Buchanana county, which has the
largest birth rate, with one exception,
of any county in the United States,
"a per cent of the children between
7 and 81 years of age cannot read
or write. Of the $4,000 children of
school age in Virginia, only 427,OoO
are in school, and SO per cent OF those
who enter the primary schools never
reach the high school grades.
