Washington, Nov. 13-An unoffi-
cial poll of the senate today showed
that only Stone of Missouri favors
armed intervention in Mexico. A ma
jority favored permitting the rebels
to import arms and ammunition and
neforcing financial blockade against
Huerta. Practically every senator en-
dorses Wilson's stand.
After it was admitted that Wilson
is preparing statement regarding
the situation the president suddenly
announced that it's issuance would be
temporarily delayed. This action fol-
lowed the receipt of messages from
Charge d'Affairs O'Shaughnessy in
Mexico City and William Bayard Hale
at Nogales, Ariz., who is in confer
ence there with Carranza, the rebel
chief.

but found all available metals too
weak for the gun he sought to make.
He then began experiments in steel
making, with the ultimate result of
the production of "Bessemer steel"
His invention won for him fame and
fortune and the honor of knighthood.
This year marks the centenary of Sir
Henry Bessemer's birth. He was born
in England, but was Of French HUI
guenot descent. Since his pioneer in

iron into steel have been vastly i'm

81, 900, 100000 Steel Company Coming

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 13.-
Plans made public here involve one of
the most gigantic steel and iron pro-
jects in the history of the world
plans which include the construction
of railroad from the Mississippi val
ley to the San Diego tidewater, and
the erection of Q huge steel works in
San Diego. More than $1,OOO,OOO,OOC
is to be expended in all, and $10O,0O0,-
900 in the San Diego plant.
These plans were announced by En-.
gineer Rolla e. Clapp, who says he
has been investigating the proposed
project seven years for a proposed
corporation involving $1,0OO,O0O,OOC
of Scotch, English and American
capital
The railroad will run through Colo
rado, Southern Utah, developing large
areas of coal, iron and timber lands
with branches to many rich agricul
tural districts. The big shipping ia.
cllltles will be at San Diego.
H. w. Huttig, president of the La
Sale bank of Chicago, is said to be
one of the hackers. Clapp refuses to
make the names of the capitalists
public. He insists that the corpora
tion means business.
This deal, he declares, is distinct
altogether from the proposed Pacific
Steel corporation, which is being pro-
jected here this week, headed by Is
capitalists of the coast and north,
west. Under Harrison Grey Otis and
former Governor Gillett, this COM
pany contemplates erecting big steel
mills along the coast with shipping
facilities in San Diego. John C.
Middleton, London capitalist, is said
to be behind the undertaking. 1t was
said that Gillett will be general coun-
sci for the big company. Julian Ken
nedy, advisory chief engineer for the
U. S. Steel, has been engaged to ex.
anime the Utah coal and iron field foi
the new Pacific steel.

in the few cases where romance and

Los Angeles, Nov. f3-More rain
throughout the state is predicted for
today. Yesterdays rains were gener-
al. For the storm Los Angeles LA,
Pasadena IA, Riverside .43, Santa
Monica .33, Santa Ana 81, San Luis
1876, Santa Barbara 1.56.
The storm which now prevails on
the coast has brought great salts
faction, as it has seemingly restored
normal climatic conditions, with am
pie rainfall, after period of defici-
ency in this respect.
For three years there was precipita-
tion below the normal, with the result
that crops suffered heavily, especially
wild pasture, and it is believed that
the present rain is assurance of ample
feed this year.
The shortage Of feed has in the last
two years especially led to the ship
ment of large numbers Of cattle from
the coast to this valley, and it is sup
posed that now the work of restoring
cattle to the coast country will begin.
Los Angeles, Nov. 13-More rain
fell in Los Angeles yesterday after
noon than that which descended from
July l to November II, 1912. This
remarkable revelation was made by
the weather bureau following the
heavy downpour that drenched the citv
and made traffic difficult.
The total fall computed from the
intermittent showers which began at
9:54 a. m. measured 80 of an inch at
4 o'clock and the indications at that
time were that the rain would con-
tinue throughout the night and today.

What is the administration trying
to accomplish through the Currency
Bill that passed the house few day:
ago?
Chiefly it is trying to devise plar
under which business men at any time
can borrow the money their business
warrants for borrowing, and at as low
rate of interest as possible. "Busi-
ness men" include contractors, manu-
facturers, farmers, merdhants-any
men engaged in current business, as
distinguished from investment bust
ness. Incidentally the administra-
ton hopes to make available for com
mereial business much o. the money
now used in stock exchange specula-
tons, and to create an equalizing ten
dency on interest rates throughout the
country.
How does the existing system favor
Wall Street speculation at the ex-
pcnse Of ordinary business?
Through regulations which virtual
ly force banks to accumulate funds
in New York under such conditions
that they can get hold Of them at
any time The only way they can do
this is through loans on the stock ex-
change which can be realized on
promptly This system which tends
to concentrate money in the East,
coupled with the fact that there has
been no recognized market for com
mercial paper, has tended to make in
torest rates low in the East and high
in the West.
What is the central idea of the adj
ministration's remedial legislation as
embodied in the Currency Bill?
To arrange for the banks to coop {
crate in such way that they can
make the most advantageous use pos !
sible of their resources for the public +
that credit will be avail T
able where il is needed, and funds {
will not be damned up in one section y
Of the country through the clogging n
IF the channels by which they might f
How into other sections where they I
we're more needed. /:
How is the idea worked out? =
Through the device Of twelve ire b
yional reserve banks to be establish IL
ID in twelve commercial eenters. The
ranks of one region, both national v
md state banks, are expected to be
bile to cooperate effectively through Il
hese reserve banks, which will be CO. m
perative institutions, owned and &C
by the banks. They will bl
cal only with other banks and the tn
overnment and not with the public. ty
How are these twelve regional re- co
erve banks to be brought into har- ey
lonious cooperation? sa
Through the government board tn
'hich is to supervise them and in a fe
'easure control them. If the region pa

g to take stock in the reserve bank, an
y state banks are permitted to do so o.
S complying with certain requirements
Where are the reserve banks to ge
4 their deposits?
9 Not from private customers, bu
from banks. They get their nam,
from the fact that they are to be de
positories of the bank reserves.
What are bank reserves?
Resources which banks are COM
PEELED by law to have available to
meet possible demands for cash from
customers. National banks in New
York, Chicago and st. Louis are COM
PEELED by law to carry at least 25 per
cent of their deposits in their vaults
in cash. Banks in other cities are re-
quired to carry certain percentage
in cash, but may keep the rest on de-
post with banks in larger cities. In
this way reserves are piled up in New
York which are available for specu-
lation on the stock exchange.
How does the new bill rearrange the
reserves?
They are TO be carried in the re-
serve bank at home, instead of in the
other banks in big cities. In this
way money is removed from New
York and made available for local US
es. Besides, the amount of the re-
serve required is diminished, so that
more credit is available for business
How is this reserve money made
available for local uses if the reserve
bank cannot lend to private custom
ers?
The reserve bank may lend to 9TH
err banks. If a bank is cramped for /
any reason, it can take a customers
note to the reserve bank and borrow
money. The reserve banks are ex-
pected to furnish a continuous open
market for the purchase of mercan-
lie paper, which is merely another
way of saying that they provide the
for lending money freely
or legitimate business transactions.
Che provisions are so drawn that it
$ believed all classes of business men
farmers as well as merchants-can
'orrow money freely at reasonable
interest rates on good security.
What effect will this have in the
Vest?
The bills trainers hope it will end
he condition under which the Eastern
IAN often gets money at 5 or per 4
emit when the Western or Southern Z
usiness man in the small town or in
lie country, with just as good securi-
Z, has to pay from 8 to ~. OF
'urse the expense of borrowing mon
7 outside of the large cities is neces-
lrily heavier than in the cities. But
Ie administration believes the diff
renee in interest rates in different
lrts of the country is much greater r
an need be under banking curren-
system better adjusted to Ameri-
n conditions
What are the safeguards against
mics under the proposed system?
The reserve bank has authority, un-
r the supervision of the national
ard, to issue currency on proper Sc Y
rity, to pay out on loans. When
e loans are paid off the notes, of =
urse, would come back to the re- to
rye bank and be caneled. But there. to-
'uld never be any panic through the tw
re scarcity of currency. As the
serve bank would always be equip ~
i to lend money on proper security,
business man could get whatever
dit he was legitimately entitled to 20
any time, under conditions that (
h the present system would pro- r.
