Of the senate banking committee II Q
question that has begun to give seri-
GUS concern to senate leaders. Both
bills-one representing the administra-
ton views and the other the work Of
the Republican committee members and
Senator Hitchcock-probably will ba
ready for the senate before the end OF
this week.
AS the committee Is evenly divided,
there can be no formal report on the
Glass bill. which passed the house, and
neither Of the new bills can be offered
as substitute. with the endorsement
OF majority Of the COMMITTEES. Both
factions OF the committee are anxious
to obtain whatever advantage there ID
to be had before the senate and 10
probably will be agreed to return the
house bill without a report and SUBJ
init the two new bills simultaneously
as amendments. Efforts will be made
then by some Republican members ia
have the senate consider the currency
bill item by item, SO that each side will
have a chance to advance it's amend
ments and have them voted on as the
reading Of the bill progresses in the
senate.

HIS MESSAGE Is READY.
President Huerta VIII Deliver It Il
Congress Thursday.

Mexico City, Nov. 1s.-General
Huerta planned today to submit to
the members OF his cabinet the mes
sage which he proposes to deliver to
his newly convened congress tomor-
row. The cabinet meeting was called
for this afternoon at which time It was
expected that General Huerta would
ask Its members to go over the mes-
sage with him.
The document is short and 1t is said

acts Of the Huerta administration.

OF congress and calling attention to
the strained relations with the United
States.
1t il expected congress viii receive
the message without protest, thereby
giving Huerta virtual ratification Of
his acts. It Is said that the message

but it would undoubtedly be a sur

eigners II General Huerta should not
be instructed to continue at the head
Of affairs.
Officials Of the Huerta administra-
ton have been moved by two emotions
since they learned that the constitu-
tionalists had insisted that William
Bayard Hale, the representative of
President Wilson, should show his
credentials before continuing confer
ences with General Carranza and his
advisers. The Huerta officials are
pleased that Carranza as q Mexican is
still showing a tendency to reject in
terference and are gratified with what
they interpret as indications Of q fail
ure Of the rebels and the United States
authorities to reach a working agree
ment. So far as had been ascertained

But IT WAS TRUE,

The story printed yesterday after-

and Harrison streets. was without

No report Of a holdup was made to
the police at this location.-Daily

because it was one Of those cases that
the police cannot remedy. Both the
woman and her daughter were 30 bad

a description OF the negro, except that
he had q handkerchief over the lower
part of his face. The police might
arrest every negro in town, and keen

result would be the same; the women

hold-up do not blame the police for
the occurrence. They blame the poll

There was no secrecy about the

Another case Of the same nature
which was not reported to the police
occurred about daylight Monday
morning on Harrison street. A younG

home of a prominent physician, was
pursued for a block by q negro who
crossed the street at Thirteenth ana

made some remark to her, which she

Saturday night young woman who
is employed in one Of the department
stores was robbed Of her purse by =

Two or three other robberies or at

within the past three or four weeks,
and In each instance the robber Wa
a negro and the victim a woman.
At noon yesterday, q rough-and-

of people were passing on foot and in

Rebels Capture VicS0ria, Strengthening
the Entire Garrison.

Rebels Capture Vic4oria, SlaughteEing
the Entire Garrison.
Brownsville, Tex. Nov. 19.-With
the loss Of hundreds OF lives and with
great destruction of property in what
General Pablo Gonzales, rebel COM
mander, described as the "bloodiest
battle of the revolution" Victoria,
capital Of the Mexican state Of Tam
aulipas. was captured by the constitu-
tionalists.
The fan of the capital city gives
the insurrectionary movement control
of the entire state except the impor-
tant seaport Tampico. where q strong
force of rebels already II operating.
General Gonzales, who commanded
the besieging constitutionalists. made
his report by courier to Jiminez and
by telephone from there to rebel
headquarters at Matamoras.
No definite estimate was given Of
the loss Of life. but 1t is said that dead
bodies Uttered tho streets and lay
thick through the court yard and
halls OF the government palace, where
q portion of the federal garrison
made a last stand. Every one OF these
defenders was slain.
The greater portion Of the garrison
of 5000 men, however. evacuated the
city after forty-nine hours Of fighting.
They retreated to Tu1a, several miles
away, where they were overtalxen by
tho constitutionalists and again de-
cisively defeated.
The attacking constftutionallsts
were reported to number 5000 men.
Their loss was four officers and be-
tween thirty and fifty men, probably
more. according to General Gonzales,
who said the federals had been
slaughtered and that the total loss of
life would run into the hundreds.
Terrible destruction to property
was done In the two days battle
which ragged throughout the principal
streets and many handsome buildings
not razed by shell wpre leveled by the
torch in the hand-to-hand fighting.
Victoria has population Of $1,000,
and is situated in a rich farming Sec
ton inhabited by many Americans.
No mention was made of non-comba-
tants in the report.
Before the federals abandoned the
city hundreds of guns were piled in
front Of the arsenal and burned, but
the const1tutionalfsts' leader reported
that many of these were salvaged. In
addition. 500 horses, as many saddles,
four cannon and much ammunition
were captured. A number of prison.
ers were taken.
