Committee Votes for Four Re-
giOnaI Reserve Institutions,
Instead of Twelve.
WILSON TO INSIST ON TEN
Only Two Members Stand by
the Administration Currency
Bill, but Decision Is De-
clared Tentative.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. oct 3l-As a compromise
between the administration bill and the
plan recommended by the bankers ;or
four or five regional reserve banks. the
Senate Banking and Currency Committee
decided to-day to FIX the number Of re-
gional banks at four, and to empower the
Federal Reserve Board TO increase this
number to twelve after two years.
Only two Senators supported the pro-
vision Of tine administration bill Tor
twelve regional reserve banks Three
favored ten banks and five voted for
eight. A majority was rot recorded in
the Affirmative however, until the num-
Der was reduced to four, as proposed i'm
the resolution offered by Senator Nelson.
The vote on this was seven to five.
When this was adopted Senator OGor-
man offered the resolution to empower
the Federal Reserve Board to increase
the number to twelve, as il might deem
advisable. The pending bill provides for
twelve regional banks.
Senator Reed offered n resolution pro
yidng that federal bank and clearing
house for the regional banks be estab-
lished at Washington in which the re-
serves of the system might be Honcen-
trated, and authorizing the establishment
Of four or more regional banks. THIS
failed to carry by vote Of Ia .. The
suggestion has not been abandoned, how
ever. and possibly will come up for fur
Their consideration.
The number of regional banks HAVING
been tentatively settled. the next question
TO occupy the attention of the committee
will be the character of the regional
banks There is A strong sentiment in
favor of throwing the stock open to pub
lie subscription, instead of compelling the
banks To take il. 1t is probable. also
that a suggestion will be made TO en-
power the Federal Reserve Board to an
point the directors instead Of having
them selected by the member banks, as
the Glass-Owen bill provides.
The possibility that there may be fur
Their discord between the President ana
members of the committee appeared Oh
the surface to-day. II is understood that
the administration will insist that there
be at least ten regional banks, and thar
various provisions Of the pending Dill
which are not acceptable to tine Senate
committee be retained.

DEN0UNCES BRITISH
POLICY IN MEXICO
"The Nation" Declares 1t Is
Anti Liberal and Has Exposed
the Country to Suspicion.

London, Nov. LIN an editorial to-day
THE Nation" following an outline OF
recent Mexican history, sharply criticises
the policy of Great Britain in Mexico
After asserting 10 the propositions that
Great Britain cannot intervene in the
affairs of half civilized nation because
its morals are bad and it's politics illib-
eral and that the first concern of British
diplomacy is with British interests, the
editorial says
Our complaint is not that British diplo-
macy has declined TO intervene against
President Huerta. 1t is rather that i'm a
peculiarly cynical way it has given him
countenance and at a moment when the
United States was using its influence TO
restore some approach TO constitutional
rule. If all the world had recognized
Huerta as a matter OF routine our action
would have had little significance, but it
was taken at a dramatic moment, when
it could be interpreted only as rebuff
and counterpoise to the efforts of Presi-
dent Wilson. The term British interests
in this connection requires some defini-
ton Cheap labor. for one thing, is not
a British interest"
The editorial concludes with deEuncia-
ton of the policy OF the British Foreign
Office as not being in accord with liberal
principles Ii says this leaves Great
Britain standing alone among the liberal
powers and exposes the country TO sus-
picion at a moment when the government
more than ever deserves British 5000
will.
THE Outlook" declares that President
Wilson'S Mobile speech means a policy or
'idcalistic grab" by which all other ma
tons except the United states will be

EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO end FRANK TRIAL
State and Defense Willing to
Hurry Matters

! Atlanta, August 21-A concerted eff
fort will be made by both state and
defense in the Frank trial today to get
all evidence in before court adiourns
this evening, so as to give some reas-
enable hope of reaching verdict and
dismissing the jury before Sunday. The
case will have already run three weeks
and all concerned are agreed that i'm
material concessions may be made on
both sides to bring the taking of tes-
timony to an end.
Hugh Dorsey, solicitor general, won
another point when he succeeded IN
getting in evidence, over the states oh
lection that Franks character was
bad and that his reputation as to his
relations with women was bad. Several
women employees at the factory were
permitted to testify to this general
fact, but were not allowed to go into
detail.
The statutus of Franks character ia
the eyes of the jury is just about the
same as the status of every other fea.-
ure of the case; it is simply a question
of which witnesses the jury is going TO
believe If the jury believes the states
witnesses, a case has been L4ade out
against Frank, but if the jury believes
the witnesses of the defense, it is
scarcely likely that a verdict of guilty
could be obtained purely on the chain
of circumstantial evidence.
