NJ 'ADOO AND BANKERS
WILL DISCUSS PLAN
Distribution of Funds For Crop
Moving viii Be Subject of
Conference.

The last of the series Of conferences
between Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and bankers as to the distribution
Of funds to relieve stringency during
the crop-moving season, will be held
tomorrow when representatives OF the
banks OF the Pacific coast will come to
Washington. No announcement as to
the details of the plan Of depositing
money in banks in the centers Of the
crop-growing sections Of the South.
West. and Of the Pacific coast will be
made until the conclusion Of these con-
ferences.
Neither will the banks bedesignated
which are to be made repositories until
after the coast bankers have been
heard. The tentative plan of the de-
partment, however, is to first designate
the repositories in the South, as the
cotton crop is the first to be harvested
and that lection will be the first TO need
the money.
What steps the department will take
to modify the plans for depositing the
$50. 900 900 or more Of Government funds
will be announced after tomorrow's con-
ference.
fcation OF the plan requiring that Gov
ernment bonds be given by the banks
as at least 10 per cent of the security.
| The provisions as to the acceptance
commercial paper may also be modified
slightly.
A significant statement is made by
Comptroller of the Currency Kane, ac-
companying his call for the condition OF
national banks at the close of August 9.
Special forms were sent out to all the
bankers with the explanation that the
Department wished to know what sec
tions of the country are in need of ad-
ditional circulation at stated periods Of
the year, what banks borrow in order
TO meet legitimate discounts and vary
ing conditions, and what banks should
be listed chronic borTowers-that is
those which borrow to reloan in normal
times"
Indications are seen in this statement
that banks which borrow or loan money
for speculative purposes will be denied
any part Of the fund to be deposited TO
assist in moving the crops

Brief Mexican Talk
Before Senate Body

At a short session of the Senate
Foreign Relations c mmittee today
Mexican matters came up for brief
consideration. Senator William Alden
Smith began an outline OF digest of
the report of his subcommittee which
some months ago inquired into the
question of what interests were back
ing Mexican revolutions. He did not
complete his statement, and the COM
mittee took no action. The Senate
met at II, and a call for a quorum
cut the committee meeting short.
The committee ordered favorable re-
ports on the nomination Of Paul S.
Reinsch of Wisconsin, to be minister
to China; William P. Cresson, to be
first secretary of legation at Quito;
and Madison r. Smith, of Missouri, to
be minister to Haiti.
Senator Shively had read through
the works of Prof. Reinsch, and found
nothing in them to object to. He so
reported to the committee, which
nowadays refuses to vote to confirm
a IL rsry man without finding out
what he has written.
