UNTERMEYER SEES BUSINESS
REVIVAL THROUGH CURRENCY
eo.ai bv United Press Wire.

spec.ai by United Press Wire.
New York, Dec. 22:-New and
healthful impetus to business will
result from the enactment of the
currency bill, in the opinion of Sam
uel Untermeyer, who conducted the
congressional investigation of the
money trust. 81, of course, regard
the enactment of the currency bill as
a great triumph for popular govern
ment," he said. ''It is the entering
wedge of a body of laws that is to
decentralize the concentration of the
control of credit in the hands of a
few men,"
Among many desirable features to
be mentioned, the establishment of
national clearing house for the col
lection of checks was discussed. This
innovation should alone lift from the
commerce of the country an annual
burden of approximately s50,0O0,-
600. 1t will also relieve the small
banks in the great cities from the In
tolerable depotism of the great
banks.

DELUGE Of MAIL
At TPOs7OFF|CE
FOR CHRISTMAS
Rush of Post Cards and Gifts
BY Regular Mail and Parcels
Post Breaks All Former Rec
ords by Big Margin.
TYRRELL HAS EXTRA HELP
Post Office Is Working Night
and Day To Keep Up To the
FIood-0utgoing Mails are
Also Enormous.
TYRRELL HAS EXTRA HELP

Big bundles, little bundles and
mlddle-sized bundles formed small
mountains as they were piled at the
local post Office at o'clock this
morning ready for distribution.
Between 1900 and 1000 parcels,
representing Christmas tokens await
ed the arrival of the wagons and
carriers. Three delivery vehicles
were kept busy most of the morning
distributing the record breaking
number of bundles. Never before
were there so many packages beseig-
ing the post office at one time. OF
course the parcel post Is RESPONSE
BILE for the large volume of presents
being sent through the mail, in
stead of by express as a great part
OF the Christmas gifts were sent
last year.
Assistant Postmaster John II. Tyr
rell, anticipating the big rush of in
coming packages over the week end,
obtained a concession, whereby an
extra mail from New York stopped
here about / o'clock yesterday after
noon. This mail brought in the ma
1ority of the packages that would
otherwise have reached the post office
late in the evening. Clerks and
carriers were summoned to duty yes
terday, and the tremendous midday
mail was soon sorted and put in
shape, so that the carriers at 7 o.
clock this morning started on their
routes on regular time and system.
Three wagons were put on to aid the
regular carriers, whose force has
also been augmented by three addi-
tional auxiliary carriers. Two addi-
tional auxiliary clerks help to handle
the packages and other mail In the
office.
The post Office by working early
and late is coping admirably with
the unprecedented volumes of out
going and incoming mails which to-
day have begun to attain mammoth
proportions, and IL is the ambition
of Postmaster Pfeiffer and Assistant
Postmaster Tyrrell to have every
piece of mail received up until early
Christmas morning in the hands of
the addressee by 10 o'clock of that
day. The outgoing mails are assum-
Ing enormous sizes, the increase of
today's despatched mails being at
least fifty per cent. over the normal
amount. Everybody seems to be let
ting Uncle Samuel carry their Xmas
gifts this year, because of the mini
mum rate charges. The parcel post
window is open as usual every night
until Z o'clock.
Rush in New York Postoffice.
New York, Dec. 22:-The Christ
mas rush of mail was bearing evil
dence today in the central postoffice
or any other sub-station. Postmaster
Morgan attributed this partly to the
notices asking people to send their
packages early marked mot to be
opened until Christmas"
Although there is no congestion
here SO far" he said today, more
packages than ever before are being
sent by mail, because of the parcel
post, while fewer postcards have
been sent than in previous years.
Four hundred extra men have been
employed to handle the Christmas
mail, clerks are working overtime,
but this year they are being paid for
that work"

FINANCIAL CRISIS
T00UST HUERTA
Bankers and Business Men To
Appeal For Relief.

Vera Cruz. Dec. 22-The elimina-
tion of General Huerta by January
is the only thing that can avert the
complete financial wreck of Mexico,
in the opinion of business men in
Mexico City and throughout the Re-
public. 1t was learned from a semi
official source today that the bust
ness men of the capital, acting with
those outside, are planning to lay
the proposition before General
Huerta, asking him to get out on the
grounds that a crash of all banks is
inevitable if he remains In office.
Senior Cambiago, the newly ap-
pointed Italian minister to Mexico,
arrived here today. On the way over
Cambiago was halted at Havana by
wireless instructions while his gov
ernment considered the protest by
the United States against Italian
of Huerta. The minister
was ordered to proceed, however,
which was taken to indicate that
Italy would recognize the dictator.

Spec1aI on United Press Wire

Mexico City, Dec. 22:-Six Ameri-

and the German cruiser Bremen Is
on her way there in anticipation of
the renewed rebel attack, according
to latest advices here. The rebels,
heavily reinforced, are reported in
possession of all the country around
Tampico and were said to have al
ready begun their advance.
The decisive defeat of the govern
ment party by the workingmen's S
party in yesterdays municipal cleo
tion is regarded today as highly sig
nificant of the growing discomfort
against the Huerta government. The
election was to name members of the
city council. Chairman Teralta, of
the council and a government man,
demanded that, notwithstanding the
results of the balloting, the seats
should be equally divided. The
workingmen leaders refused this,
but were forced to give up several
seats. They still retain a majority.
