Dan," the California seeker for u share
In the 100000 estate of the late Daniel
Russell. Of Melrose. is declared the
rightful claimant In the report filed in
the supreme court today by Philip
Peavey. master in the case. who lis
tened for eleven months to the testi-
mony.
Fresno Dan," says the master, is
undoubtedly Daniel Blake Russell, a
long lost son of Daniel Russell.
Dakota Dan," the rival claimant
from Dickinson, N. D.. is declared to be
James Delbert Russell. He has neith-
er the mental moral. physical and In
telectual characteristics Of the Russell
family. says Mr.. Peavey. The master
calls the courts attention to the testi
mony given by two witnesses for the
Dakota claimant which he says was
grossly false.
Before Courts Four Years.
The report OF the master settles the
case SO far as the facts are concerned
and any appeal must be based on
questions Of law.
The Russell will case has been be-
fore tho Massachusetts, courts for four
years and has occasioned two unusual :
ly long hearings. first In the probate
court, from the adverse decision OF
which the North Dakota claimant ap-
pealed, and second before Master Pea
vey.
It was In tho midst Of the probate
hearing that the claimant now declared
to be the rightful heir Jointly with VIII
liam c. Russell, another son of the
merchant, was discovered at Fresno,
Cal. He was acknowledged by the
Russell family.
Counsel for the Dakota claimant
filed with the court seventy-five OBJ
jections to the masters findings. and
asked that Mr.. Peavey be required to
report In full the evidence pertaining
to the various objections. The prin-
cipal objections relate to the findings OF
the master that the Dakota man Is
not the son OF Daniel Russell: that
William C. Russell is not mentally de-
ficient, and the intimation that two OF
"Dakota Dams" witnesses committed
perjury.

give his views as to the attitude Of

II am not going to discuss either the
policy Of the United States or the mes
sage that President Wilson is going to

General Diaz said he had no present
intention Of returning to Mexico and
added:
II will only return to my country in
case q foreign nation attacks 1t and
you may rest assured that in such an
eventuality all Mexico will be solidly
united in its efforts to throw out the
invaders"
The former dictator said that II Gen.
Felix Diaz had followed his advice he
would not have attempted to land at
Vera Cruz. He concluded:
when was in power had both
men and money and nobody can do
without them. Now that Provisional
President Huerta has both he may find
out sooner or later that the president Of

Currsney Committee Turns Down Ad-
ministration Plans.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The senate
pandng and currency committee last
night tentatively agreed on four reg
ional reserve banks for the proposed
now currency system. with a provision
that after two years the federal re-
serve board may add as many addi-
tionl banks as It deems necessary, not
exceeding twelve. The pending bill
fixes the number at twelve and it has
been understood the administration
would not consent TO have 1t reduced
below nine.
The sharp reduction in the number
OF reserve banks was the first radical
amendment the committee has agreed
upon and it was earnestly opposed by
tho administration supporters in :he
committee. Senators O'Gorman and
Hitchcock. however. voted with the five
republicans for the reduction, leaving
but fve democrats. Owen. Pomerene.
Hollis, Reed and Shafroth behind the
administration proposal. The White
House was silent tonight as to the
committees action. It has been gen.
orally supposed that the president Wig
orously opposed cutting the number
below nine
The administration supporters con-
tested every step in the reduction Of
the number Of regional banks. Two Of
them voted to retain the number at
twelve and three voted for ten banks.
The proposal to fix the number at
eight was defeated. seven to five. and
by the Same vote the number was fix
ed at four. The proposition to insert
the provision that the federal reserve
board might increase the number af-
ter two years. up to twelve. was vot-
cd into the bill with only two men,
bers opposing 1t.

AsASAASo lily, NOV. L. ue PolIlACd
intrigues Of the White House against
our country have entered q period OF
apparent inertia recently, President
Wilson showing himself reserved. un-
decided and 1xpectant like one who
prepares a most telling blow" says FL
Pals. in an editorial article on the stu
alton today. It continues:
"The cable. however. in spite of it's
lacontctsm. furnishes a glimpse of the
Vaccinations Of the government al
Washington which may be summarized
as follows:
President Wilson has not resolved
70 proceed frankly and openly against
Mexico. doubtless, because he compre-
hends the colossal injustice Of his
cause, but he searches for allies and
accomplices in the crimes against hu-
manity plotted In the White House of
annihtlattng and despoiling us as in
the time Of Santa Ana. To this end
are all the efforts of the Puritan presi-
dent. and we know by recent dispatches
that an effort is being made to bring
about q combined diplomatic move-
ment by at least some Of the European
powers, to sanction acts which the
American government may attempt
against Mexico.
1T Is said that France. England and
Germany will aid President Wilson in
the work either by Intervention or thru
Carranza, or by obliging Provisional
President Huerta to renounce tho high
post he occupies. We arc still obliged
to believe that the friendly powers
which 1nvoluntarily and openly recog-
nized General Huerta as provisional
president Of Mexico vii, not aid the
United States either morally or ma
terially. because this would be the
equivalent Of fragrant contradiction
at variance Of International practices
and the decorum OF honorable govern
ment."
Says Mexico 10 Sole Judge.
Ell Pals continued:
President Wilson has doubtless
tried to wheed1e the European govern
ments into the perfidious belief that
violation Of the suffrage in Mexico is
notorious; that Provisional President
Huerta is to blame; that he can not
now be considered by them as the con-
etitutionI president and that those
governments are not obliged to stand
by their recognition OF him. Nothing
can be more sophistical; not more un-
Just than such an argument
Nobody but ourselves has any right
to determine whether General Huerta
has violated the suffrage: nobody but
ourselves should place the responsible
ity: none but our authorities con-
form to our laws and thew should re-.
fuse to recognize him, depose him, sub
NIT him to q process. or condemn him
to death.
Foreign governments can not mix In
this sort Of thing. They should ignore
1t completely as they are ircapaci citated
by decency, by morality, and by COM
mon sense to fix the political course Of
other countries"
