NO FUNDS FOR
SPECULATIVE BANKS
NEW RULE IN CONNECTION WITH
GOVERNMENT CROP DEPOSITS
COMPTROLLER SEEKS DATA
Those Banks That Earnestly Strive to
Meet Currency D~emands-of Agricuh
tural Sections Will Get
Benefit of Loan.

Neutrality-suspicious. which borrow or
loan money for speculative purposes will
be denied any portion of the 100000 600
of government funds about to be de-
posted in the national banks to assist
in moving the crops, and the entire
amount will 60 to institutions that
earnestly strive to meet the currency
demands of the agricultural sections.
This policy of the treasury department
was announced when Acting Comptroller
of the Currency Kane, in connection with
a call for the condition of national
banks at the close of business August
8, asked every national bank in the
country to report detailed information
of all money loaned or borrowed. Upon
the basis of this data, expected to be
available in time for the distribution of
the $4,000, 900, the treasury depart
ment will aim to differentiate between
the banks which borrow or loan in con-
nection with speculative operations or
are chronic borrowers and those who apa
deavor to relieve financial strain wher-
ever it exists.
Information of this character, it was
announced, will now be regularly OBJ
tanned by the comptroller of the cur
renty as a feature of his calls for the
condition of national banks in order that
the treasury department may know what
sections of the country are in need of
additional circulation at various periods
Of the year.
This innovation Is the forerunner of
other material changes in the character
of information banks will be required in
future to furnish the government. The
forms which have been in use for years
are being studied with a view to further
steps to obtain detailed information.

EUROPE WILL

POWERS HAVE BEEN INFORMALLY
SOUNDED ON SUBJECT.
H. |. WILSON IN TROUBLE
Resignation of Diplomat Effective Oct
IA May Be Accepted at 0nce-JOhn
Lind Establishes Relations With
Mexican Foreign Office.

Washington.-The United States gov
eminent has informally sounded tht
powers and learned that foreign govern
ments generally will do nothing to EN-
barrass the peace policy of President
Wilson toward Mexico and are inclined
to support it.
Henry Lane Wilson, whose resignation
al ambassador to Mexico recently wac
accepted to take effect Oct. IA, issued q
statement attacking the reported state
ment Of the British foreign office that
recognition of the Huerta government
had been extended after he had made
"a congratulatory speech" to the pro.
visiosal president.
President Wilson read the ambassa.
dors statement and was so incensed at
Its tone and contents that he promptly
requested Secretary Bryan to ascertain
through the British embassy here wheth.
or the utterance of the British foreign
offic as reported was correct, and the
dismissal Of Ambassador Wilson by sum.
mary acceptance of his resignation to
take effect Immediately was under con-
s%ideration by the administration.
Dispatches from John Lind, personal
representative in Mexico of President
Wilson, indicated that he was in per-
sonal touch with FREDERICK Camboa, the
Mexican minister of foreign affairs, and
was preparing to submit the representa-.
lions of the United States on the resto-
ration of peace in Mexico.
Chief interest %centered in the admin
istration's attitude toward Ambassador
Wilson's remarks concerning the British
government and the information that
European governments were disposed 20
lend their moral support to President
Wilson's policy.

COTTON FUND
COMING SOON
PROPORTION OF $50, 100000 ADD
TIONAL FOR BANKS READY.
BANKERS POINT OUT NEED
Stipulation That Ten Per Cent Of So.
curity for Deposits Be In Govern
ment Bonds Withdrawn.

Washington.-Treasury department
officials practically decided Monday to
begin within the next few days placing
in banks in the cotton states their pro-
portion of the additional 100000 900
government deposits for crop-moving
purposes. The need for these deposits
in the Southern states was outlined by
the bankers from that section at the
recent conferences with officials OF the
department.
1t was stated at the department that
the cotton crop movement already had
begun and hat the need for the money
was urgent. Representatives from sew
eral Southern states told the department
that unless the money could be placed
within the new few weeks it would be
practically valueless to them.
A consideration that was most potent
in deciding the department was that
the South could return the money in
time for it's use in other sections. 1t
indicated that the cotton planters
would be through with money during
September and that it could be returned
to the treasury department not later
than the middle of November. No final
decision has as yet been reached on the
proportion of the deposits that are to be
made in the respective sections, but it
was made clear that at least half would
be placed in the South.
Announcement as to the proportion Of
the various kinds of security that will
be accepted has not yet been made. Gov
eminent bonds are not to be insisted
upon, however, it was stated at the de-
partment. 1t had been determined that
10 per cent Of the security should be in
this class, but at the request of the
bankers this condition has been waived.
Instead, it is said, the proportion of
good commercial paper has been in
creased.
On most of the questions involved in
placing these deposits, however, the final
decision and announcement will not be
made until after the conference at the
department with the far Western bank
ers.

LIND ARRIVES
IN MEXICO CITY
ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON WILL
BE RESULT OF REPORTS.
MAY PROBE THE WAR LOBBY
Charge of John Sharp Williams Has
Stirred Up Matters in the Senate.
Americans Safely Removed
From Danger Zone.

Washington.-John Lind, personal
representative Of President Wilson to
investigate the Mexican situation, ar
rived safely in Mexro City Saturday
night, according to adyices received at
the state department, from Charge
O'Shaughnessy, of the United States
embassy. Secretary Bryan remained at
his desk until long after midnight to
receive the news.
News OF the safe arrival Of Mr.. Lind
with his wife and party in the Mexican
capital followed several hours Of sus-
pense. The complete absence of any in
formation OF the progress of the party
from the time it left Vera Cruz added
to the uneasiness which was heightened
BY vague rumors OF attacks on Mr.. Lind
and his family and associates.
While the president has mapped out q
distinct course of action about which
strict secrecy is being maintained, 1t is
known that the instructions to be sent
Mr.. Lind from time to time will depend
largely on developments in the Mexican
capital in the next few weeks.
Mr.. Lind will make all his recon-
mendations to Charge O'Shaughnessy so
that whatever representations are trans
mitted by the latter to the Huerta gov
eminent will differ in no way from the
notes the American government has hith-
erto advanced to the de facto author
tiles in the Mexican capital.
Safe removal of American citizens De
string to leave the danger zone in the
vicinity of Empalme, Mex, was reported
to the navy department by Rear Ad-
miral Cowles, commanding the American
Pacific fleet, from Guaymas, Mex.

somewhat embarrassed by the presence
in Japan of DR.. Sun Vat Sen and Gen.

in disguise. The government was at
first disposed to refuse them permission
to land, but eventually consented, in
view of the fact that if they were de-
ported to China, where a price was set
on their heads, it meant their arrest
and death. 1t is reported that DR.. Sun
Vat Sen does not intend to proceed to
the United States, but will try to gather
funds to continue the campaign against
Provisional President Yuan Shi Kai.
