OWEN DISCUSSES
THE CURRENCY
BILL
The OKLAHOMA SENATOR, FATHER
OF The CURRENCY REFORM
MEASURE, IS TAKEN OFF The
FLOOR BY ANOTHER DEMOCRAT
ON A POINT OF ORDER.
HITCHCOCK (DEM.) WANTS
ACTION ON BILL PUT OFF

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-The
tion in the senate today served to ac
centuate the division of opinion among
Democrats.
Senator Owen, chairman of the
banking committee, and sponsor OF
the administration bill, in the upper
chamber, was forced off the floor by
Senator Hoke Smith, also a Democrat
while he was attempting to reply to
an attack on immediate Legislation de-
livered by Senator Hitchcock, another
Democrat
Senator Smiths point of order that
the tariff and not currency was what
forced Mr. Owen to yield, but he said
that he would reply to Mr.. Hitch
cocks speech later.
In the house Democratic leaders
smoothed the way today for opening
the currency fight there Friday Pro
vision was made by Leader Under
wood that the currency bill was to
have right of way over all business II
il is ready.
Hitchcock addressing the senate
openly opposed currency legislation at
this session of congress and especially
the administration bill introduced by
Senator Owen who had submitted a
resolution by the Democratic central
committee of Sarpy county, Nebraska,
urging immediate passage of a cur
rcncy bill
In presenting this resolution Sen.
ator Hitchcock said Il desire to say
t.at l do not agree with the authors
and | am strongly opposed to the at
tempt to pass any comprehensive cur
rency legislation in the expiring days
of the extra session. | am certainly
opposed to taking up the revolutionary
bill the senator from Oklahoma has
introduced"
Referring to argument that cur
rency legislation was necessary to
forestall a possible business disturb
ance Senator Hitchcock said:
This argument is most fallacious,
it is utterly out of the question to use
this bill as an emergency measure be.
cause it will take at least a year of
organization to put it into effect after
it's passage. Those who think we can
rass it in one week and that on the
following week the country will have
of additional currency
with easy credit are woefuly mis-
taken"
Advocates of this bill at this time,
said Senator Hitchcock, evidently go
on the theory that if a business dis
t rbance is to result from passage
of the tariff bill it can be cured by Gre
ating a banking disturbance to last
year or more.
II believe the mere agitation of the
Lanking and currency question at this
session has been a mistake. | believe
the plan of attempted banking and
currency legislation at this session
should be dropped" =

Recognition of "a state of public war
in Mexico" and of American neutrality
between the "belligerents" was de-
manded in resolution today by Rep

law prohibiting the expectation of

No action was taken and the reso

The resolution introduced today de-
clares there is not now in Mexico
any established government worthy
of recognition by the United States.
President Wilson has been unof-
1icially informed of the support OF Re-
publicans of the house in his Mexican
program so long as nonpartisan at
titude is maintained. Assurances TO
the president were conveyed from Re-
publican Leader Mann. At both ends
of the capitol there have been inform
al agreements to keep the Mexican
questions out Of politics.

thought the house rate of eight per

Senator Smith, or Michigan, depre-
Gated putting iron on the free list

Cuba were being opened up, thus de-
priving the government of revenue,

would flow into the Golfers of the

finance committee majority, declared
tat pig iron produced in this coun-
try last year was valued at $1S5,0OO,-
900 and that the imports were negll'
gible, less than 100000 tons. AS to
Chinese big iron, Senator Thomas
said, there was no prospect of serious
competition.

Lind NAV Succeed Wilson.

Mexico City, Aug. 5--The appoint
ment of John Lind, of Minnesota. as
personal representative of President
Wilson and adviser" to the American
embassy in Mexico City, is regarded
here as tantamount to his selection
as successor to Henry Lane Wilson.
The news created surprise as it
had been generally believed here that
John r. Lamb of Terre Haute, Indi-
ana, had been chosen for the place.
Mr.. Lind is practically an unknown
quantity among the American colony.
Mexican officials refrain from max
ing any comment on his appointment
giving as excuse the unofficial char.
acter of his position and lack of
knowledge of the man
The acceptance of Ambassador Will
sons resignation did not cause any
great surprise here as it has been
generally expected that his views
would prevent his retention of the po-
sition.
The retiring ambassadors course
during the exciting days of February
met with the approval of most for
eign residents here and his retire
ment is therefore a matter of regret
to many.

Former Senator Jos. B. Foraker was
the principal witness today before the
senate lobby committee. He appear
eG to deny many statements of Martin

Foraker denied that he ever favored
any legislation wanted by the Nation

that he talked with Mulhall about leg
is]ation. He said he frequently talk
ed to men in the capital, however, in
those days about legislation

Mr., Lind will inform inquirers on

Lind's position now is that of adviser

in reality as an unofficial ambassador
to be named ambassador when a stable
government is organized and recog.
milton is extended by the United
States.
Just what part Mr.. Lind will take
in peace negotiations is not made clear
here, but there is every reason to be-
ieve that he will merely represent the
views of the American government to
those who consult him and will not
directly interfere with the progress

grocers in Scranton, Albert H. Sch
lager, died last evening at his home,

of several months, aged sixty-one
