Taking No Chances Leader Underwood Gets Through
 a Binding Resolution.
AMENDMENTS MADE
Time On Loans On Mortgages Are EXtended.-Re Reserve Percent
 ages Reduced.

Washington, August 2S-The House Democrats today approved finally the Glass-Owen Currency Bill. which has met the approval and endorse ment of President Wilson and the administration.
 Leader Underwood had tho caucus adopt a resolution binding the Democratic members to support tht bill when it is taken up i'll the House for action This was done to guard against Democratic division, which might lead to adoption of Republi- can amendments, changing the character of the bill.
 The Currency Bill was amended today in caucus so as to provide that country banks belonging to the re- serve districts shall carry twelve in- stead of fifteen per cent reserve against their total deposits and that city reserve banks shall carry eigh- teen per cent instead of twenty per cent reserve. The entire section of the bill regulating these reserves was rewritten by the Committee.
 Bankers throughout the country demanded reduction of the reserve percentages, so that a larger propO.- ton of their funds could be kept to the credit of the working accounts. The reductions made place tha re- serve percentage practically on their present basis.
 The caucus extended also the time of loans on mortgages and paper secured by improved an1 unencum- bered farm lands from nlu. months to twelve months. It Vas contend ed that the lease period Tor which the mortgage is drawn is one year and that loan on such mort yay's shou;n run for that length Of time.
 After the lapse of t.a twe.ve months bankers holding such nort. gages can use discretion abou. fore. closure or continue the loan imdefi. nitely and as long as the interest payments are made.

PANAMA CANAL
 OPENS OCT. 10 Water Will Be Turned Into Canal on Oct. 5 and Dikes
 Opened Later.
17 DAYS TO FILL IT
ShOyels Working to Remove 9SS,OOO Cubic Yards of Earth By
 That Date.

Panama, Aug 2S.--All steam shovel operations in Culebra cut proper will be discontinued September l5, and between then and October ,, when the water will be admitted, all epip- ment and other material, including 36-miles of track, must be out of the nine-mile channel between Gambo Dike and the Pedro Miguel locks.
 The shovels formerly engaged on the Cucaracha slide have been set to work in a section of the cut which is not yet fully down to grade. All bottom material remaining after Sep tember 15 will be drilled and blasted preparatory to its removal by dre- dges.
 On August 1 there remained to be removed 9SS,900 cubic yards inside the theoretical canal prism, and the steam shovel operations between that date and September 15 it is estimated will reduce the amount to 65O,000 ydIuS, WHICH Will UC lClloNCu ie%eSA by the dredges. This is exclusive ol all, slide excavations and inclines.
 Water will be admitted to Cuplebra cut under this arrangement October 5, five days in advance of the date set for the destruction of Gamboa dikes. For this purpose four 26-inch pipes extending underneath the dike and now used for pumping the drain ing water out will be employed. It is estimated that it would take seven. teen days to fill the canal to the level l of the dike by this method. There fore, water will be admitted during l five-day period so that it may ac, as a cushion against the sides of the dike. The blast on October 10 is ex- pected to cause a small opening in the barrier, which will gradually in crease in size until a considerable stream flows into the cut and com pletes the work of filling it.

Jerome Trying to Get Matteawal Fugitive Into Hands of lmmi-
 grafton Authorities.

Sherbrooke. Quebec, Aug. 2S.-Har- ry K. Thaw may be in Europe within fortnight The International News Service was informed tonight by an ! unquestioned authority that prepara- tions are being made to secure the re- lease of the millionaire murderer from the Sherbrooke jail on bail.
 Before taking any steps in this di-
 rection we shall wait until the Amerl
 canism in Sherbrooke has worn off,
 was the pointed statement of one cf the Thaw coterie of Canadian authJri
 ties today. "We have perfect Ii9hi
 tc bail Thaw under yesterdays dec!s-
 for of Justice C. obensky. The reas )i
 we do not apply for bail immediately is because Thaw feels that he is safer in jail. As soon as we have received
 definite assurances that the federal government will not arrest him on an i immigration charge we shall ask Jus
 tice Globensky to grant him bail" ! "Does this mean that Thaw could go to Europe or anywhere else in
 the meantime?' was asked
 Ut most certainly does" responded 1 the attorney But you can gamble
 that he will not cross the United
 States border"
 Thaw himself is absolutely silent on the question of his immediate plans | if bailed. It is known however that his agents have been inquiring into
 steamships sailing from Montreal. The scene of the battle over Thaw' s
 release temporarily shifted today te 1 Quebec, where William Trayers Je-
 rome sought to have orders given by 1 the Premier of Quebec, Sir Lomel Gouin, to quash the present proceed ings against the prisoner and order | him freed. This done, Jerome guar antees to have him across the border
 within a week.
 The defense, realizing the vital inn
 portance of Jerome's mission, today
 hurried Louis St. Laurent to Quebec Laurent was retained by Thaw to act for Educated Roger" Thompson, his
 jail mate and companion in the sensa-
 tional flight from Matteawan.
 St. Laurent is an influential mem
 Der of the Liberal party, to which also Sir Lomar pledges allegiance. St
 Laurent took with him number of let
 ters from prominent Liberals in Sher-
 brooke, begging the Premier to keep
 his hands off,

Husband of Mrs. Cook is Suspected But
 He Denies Knowledge of the
 Double Tragedy.
 Symrna, Tenn, Aug. 28.-Mystery envelops the brutal murder of Mrs. William Cook and her niece, Lucy Stan ford, fifteen years old, whose butcher ed bodies were found in their home here. The husband. who claims that the tragedy occurred while he was at church and that he did not find the bodies until Tuesday morning, has been questioned, but he denies know ledge of the crime. T.
 A bloody shirt, admitted by Cook to have been his, and the finding of blood spots on the pillow and foot of the bed in which he slept the night Of the double murder, are the only clues upon which the officers have to work. Cook, however, claims that he killed goat for neighbor last week, wear ing the shirt at the time. He also declares that the bloody marks uHh the bed clothes were possibly caused by placing the pillows on the floor when he retired.
 The authorities are unable to fix a motive for the murder, neighbors de- claring that Cooks domestic life was ideal.

Mexico City, Aug. 2S.-Warlike preparations were ordeded by the Mexican government today, but a semi-official announcement was made this evening that within a few hours the situation involving the United States and Mexico 'had improved and there is now hope for al amicabls settlement of all difficulties"
 It was stated that Mexico had taken the initiative in reopening negotia- tions with Special Envoy Lind; that the Huerta administration had shown an inclination to recede somewhat from the stand it had taken ia the early conference, and that Lind may arrive at a complete understand ing with the government.
 Dr. William Bayard Hale, who was investigating conditions here for President Wilson before Envoy Lind was sent from Washington, will sail for the United States tomorrow from
  N portant conference with Lind. Dr.. Hale lay the latest phase of the situa- ton before President Wilson. It is believed he has knowledge of sensa- tional developments in the situation hereto untouched upon in the negoti- atiols made public.
 It is believed that the influence of some of his advisers has had great deal to do with lessening the defiance of Huerta. They have told him that the great mass of the Mexican people are averse to war with the United States. The feeling of the better class of Mexicans was reflected today by one prominent man who said:
 "The majority of the people in Mexi- co will not support Huerta. Ihey don't love him enough to fight the United States for him.
 There is no excitement here over President Wilson's proclamation oi neutrality, the call upon Americans to leave this country or the warning to Mexico that all citizens of the United States must be protected. There has been no evidence of anti-American feeling, though hundreds of volunteer soldiers carrying muskets paraded the streets during the day. :..5 TEXT OF CAMEO NOTE
