The chief evils of the present. bank

the fact that banks, have no place

a counter suggestion by Senator
Weeks (republican) which it is un-
derstood would be advanced as a pos

New York. Sept. 3.-The semi-an-
nual payment on the outstanding
$2S.582,000 Of New Orleans, TEXAS
and Mexico first mortgage FIVE per
cent bonds amounting to $714,000 and
due today, was not paid. c. w. Hill
lard. New York representative of the
receivers for the St. Louis & San
Francisco railroad which CONTROLS the
New Orleans. Texas & Mexico, said
the receivers had made no provision
for payment Of interest. It is un-
derstood that interest on the $2,600,-
600 six per cent notes Of the road
also due today and unpaid, might be
met later. The agreement under
which the notes were issued provides
for the thirty-days' grace for the
payment of interest and within that
time the court will probably be asked
to authorize the Frisco receivers to
meet the payment.
Interest on both bonds and notes
was guaranteed by the Frisco. 1t
was said that default on the interest
payment would not necessarily cause
the Frisco to lose. the New Orleans,
Texas & Mexico. and that no immedi-
ate action was contemplated by the
bondholders' protective committee Of

HALE LATE TODAY
Interest in Mexican Situa-
ton Revived-No Word
From John Lind.

Washington, Sept. 3.-With the re-
turn Of the president from his sum-
mer white house and the arrival of
William Bayard Hale. who also has
been making observations in Mexico,
for the administration. interest in the
Mexican situation was revived today.
Bryan announced that no word was
received from John Lind, who still is
at Vera Cruz. Conferences between the
president and Hale were arranged for
late today.
Since the departure OF the presi-
dent from Washington, the daily char
acterization Of the Mexican situation
at the state department has been that
the word encouraging" just as the
president returned to the capitol was
regarded in official circles as signifi-
cant Of possible developments Mr..
Bryan. however. had no explanation
for his statement, except smile the
first he has worn in discussing the
tense diplomatic affair with Mexico
for many days.
Encourages Bryan.
One source of encouragement to
Mr.. Bryan was the action of the
house appropriations committee in
recommending in the deficiency bill
the 100000 asked for by the secre-
tary to meet the expense of bringing
American citizens from Mexico. Mr..
Bryan today discussed protection of
American property in Mexico with
Senator Swanson Of Virginia. who
called to submit q complaint of a
sugar company near Vera Cruz which
did not wish to leave its property un-
guarded by Americans. Several re-
quests for further information as to
the purpose Of this government with
regard to the protection of American
property in Mexico have been re-
ceived here. and 1t is probable that
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
will confer on this matter later.
