WAR OF WORDS WILL OPEN
IN SENATE NEXT MONDAN

washington, Nov. 24.-The final
legislative battle for President Wilson's
currency bill began in the Senate to-
day with the presentation of reports
from the divided banking committee
submitting a report for the admins.
tration democrats, Chairman Owen
gave notice he would open debate Mon
day. Their bill follows closely the lines
OF the House measure and contains
only such amendments as President
Wilson was willing to accept. Sena-
tor Hitchcock, democrat, and the five
republicans submitted a draft mater
tally changing the bill and proposing
four reserve banks owned by the public
and controlled by the government.
Both sections Of the committee
agreed on concentration of reserves,
their volume and mobilization, the
volume Of the capital Of the proposed
banks, promotion Of an open discount
market, provision for elastic currency,
that the federal notes should be obliga-
tons of the United States; that the
system should be a regional federal re-
serve bank system, instead Of a central
bank. n on the control Of the sys-
tenn itself BY the government.
The report of the administration
democrats, reviewing the differences in
the committee, concludes:
These differences arise in the main
because of the two schools CT Thought,
one part OIL the committee Del1eVlQS III
a central bank administered by a eel
trail board, and the other part of the
committee proposing to establish a
number Of comparatively independent
district banks administered by boards
Of directors chosen from the several
districts"
The report submitted by Senator
Hitchcock declared many amendments
it recommended had been Endorsed in
the entire committee before the adj
ministration and anti-adminiStration
forces separated and added that its
signers were generally in favor of a
government-owned central bank.
"Waiving a strong preference which
prevailed in committee in favor
of a single government bank with
branches said the report. 1--WE ac-
cepted the regional bank plan as the
congress, but retained the amendment
substituting four regional banks for
twelve. While the single government
bank plan would produce the only per-
feet mobilization of reserves, as has
been demonstrated by the experience
of other countries, the adoption of four
regional banks under a single control
will, it is thought, approximate this
result and, in a country SO large as
ours, with so many banks, probably
prove efficient"
Senator Hitchcock will speak fol-
lowing Senator owen.
The presentation Of the divided re-
port today placed before the Senate
without amendment the bill as it
passed the House. The amendments
recommended by the two wings of the
committee will be taken up in the de-
bate.
The bill was made the unfinished
business of the Senate on motion Of
Chairman Owen, who he
would make no effort to begin it's de-
tailed consideration or to secure a vote
on any amendment before the end of
the special session.

Uncle Sam Makes Elaborate
Preparation to Give His Boys
a Great Feast.
BEST FED BODY ON EARTH

The commissary sergeant, that busy
old housewife Of each company In the
United States army, is this week turn
ing upside down each company bar
racks where federal troops are sta
toned, in preparation for the APP
preaching Thanksgiving feast. The
commissary officers on board each of
the fighting ships OF the nation are no
less busy below decks. AS a result Of
this activity there will be spread next
Thursday such q banquet for the ma
tons $4,000 fighting men as might
make the mouths of the 90,0oo, 900 water
with envy il they only knew.
For Uncle Sam provides literally for
his fighting force when there is an oc-
.casion for the observance of n of the
great natal days. The men of the army
and navy are but boys for the most
part. Most of them are but q few
years removed from the times when
their mothers made the most of such
occasions and there Is not an unocca-
sional touch of homesickness In the
breast of each. The kindly uncle
knows OF this and bestirs himself to
lessen the pang, his balm being the
The result is surprising. The men of
b service sit down on Thanksgiving
day to such a dinner as it would be al
most impossible for the average civil
ian to buy. For the commissaries Of
the army and navy are great, well
oiled machines such as 1t Is almost i'm
possible to duplicate in private life
These sumptuous spreads are accom-
plished out Of the regular rations Of
h men In the w branches Of the
service. 1t seems q marvel in these
days OF the high cost of living hat
such meals are possible out of an ex-
penditure for food in the army of but
1885 cents per man per day, and in
the navy Of but 1868 cents. Yet the
marvel is regularly performed. These

full of variety and of those elements
that are said to stick to the ribs"

MOTHERS LAW HELD VALE
Minnesota Supreme Court Passes or
Recently Enacted Statute.

st. Paul. Nov. 15.-The state SUI
preme court has upheld the mothers
pension law passed by the least leg
islature as being constitutional and ap-
plicable in all parts of Minnesota.
The case decided arose in Stearns
county, where it was alleged that the
law was unconstitutional and the coun-
ty commissioners decided that the pro-
bate court overstepped it's authority
in ordering aid for the children of a
woman whose husband was living.
The supreme court holds the pro-
bate court had the right to order this
aid and that child dependent upon
the public for support is within the
terms of the law, though the sole rea-
son of such dependency is the financial
inability of the parents to support it
and though there is neither deinquen-
cy on the part of the child nor unfit
ness on the part of the parent.
The court also holds that the law
is applicable where the town system
of caring for the poor prevails.

that no news was good news Presi-

They are well satisfied with the

premature publicity at this time would
possibly interfere with their consum-
nation, so it has been decided to
withhold all information until the en-
tire question is cleaned up.
Huerta is going to get out Every
official of the government is con-
fldent of that. The time and manner
OF his going still remained to be ar
ranged But there is no doubt left
from the reports of both Charge

last made up his mind that 1t is i'm

Belief Grows That huerta

SOME OYERTURES MADE
Negotiations Pending Between Ameri-

Member May Result in Special En-
voY lind Returning to Mexico City.

Mexico City, Nov 15.-Confidence
In the early accomplishment of the
aims of the United States toward
Mexico was expressed by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, American charge daft
faires.
The overtures made by the Mexican
minister of the interior, Manuel Gar
"a Aldape, are taken as evidence that
Huerta is ready to recede from the
stand ne had previously taken.
Although Mr.. O'Shaughnessy was
uncommunicative on the subject and
refused information as to any phase
of the latest development, it was un-
derstood that he expected to have a
further conference with Senator AL
dape.
At this conference 1t is expected
that the ideas of Washington as to the
wisdom of John Linds returning from
Vera Cruz to the federal capital, or
receiving a committee representing
Provisional President Huerta, will be
made known to the representative OF
the provisional president.
Dispatches from Washington pub.
lished here indicate the probability OF
a settlement of the Mexican question
without resort to arms, which during
the past week appeared here to be q
forlorn hope, created an atmosphere
of optir dsm and greatly relieved the
tension.
