ton, Arrives on Warpdth After MarShaLShip

I didates for the marshaIship bobbed up in
Washington. including Jeff Gilreath. for
mer Sheriff Of Greenville County, and
also w. Mills Mooney.
Yesterday the fight for the marshalship
took another angle when Sheriff Rector,
of Greenville County, reached Washing
ton to see Senators Tillman and Smith,
and to fight Gilreath's chances.
In a recent election for the office Of
Sheriff "ector beat Gilreath. Gilreath,
1t is alleged by Rector, bolted the Demo-
cratic ticket by c-EaniZing a independ-
ent ticket and putting up a candidate
against Rector who was declared the reg
ular Democratic nominee. Bad feeling
sprung up between the two men, and as
soon as Rector learned Gilreath was
after the marshalship he came to Wash
ington to oppose him.
Yesterday, Mooney. who is a tall. rangy
mountaineer, wearing the distinctive
dress of the South Carolina hillmen, went
to the White House and was introduced
to President Wilson by Representative
Joseph T. johnson. The President Is
said to have been much pleased with him.
As the two candidates for the District
Attorneyship in South Carolina are from
the middle and lower part of the State,
Mooney contends part of the pie should
be given to the mountain section, and
hopes to ride in on the band wagon.

lima Wilson banner as the bearer.

crowd toward the rostrum.
Mooney is one OF the many after the
position of marshal for the Palmetto
State. He. however. is not laying claim
to the job solely because he knocked
Jim" Nugent down. but believes his part
of the State, known as the dark corner"
should be favored with part of the pat
ronage pie.
AS there was no change yesterday in
the deadlock of Senators Tillman and
Smith of South Carolina in naming Of a
United States district attorney and mar
shall, it was impossible to figure out who
would get the much coveted jobs.
Senator Tillman wants President Will

some DEMOCRATS HAVE
KNIFE FOR MONEY BILL
Questions Shot at Samuel Untermyer
Show that Several Want
Radical Changes.
LAWYER SUGGESTS AMENDMENTS

That tho sentiment Of several Demo-
cr:ts on the Senate Committee on Bank
ing and Currency in favor OF changes in
the pending banking reform bill is be-
coming stronger Is shown by their ques-
" ms ana the views they express. Sem
ators Hitchcock and Reed are the prin-
cipal advocates of material Alterations
in the plan, and they Indicated their
pIeasurc yesterday when Samuel Inter
myer' champion Of the bill, urged
several OF the changes favored by these
members of the committee.
Ihat the government should not be re-
quired to deposit all OF its receipts in
the Federal reserve banks, and that II
should by no means deposit with those
banks lts stock of gold, were among the
suggestions made by Mr.. Untermyer.
lie would have the bill provide that in
the event the banks do not subscribe IN
the stock of the reserve banks to an ex-
tent which would insure the success of
the new plan, the subscription to the
STOCK OF the regional banks should be
opened to the public. Mr.. Untermyer
advocated raising the rate Of dividends
TO be paid to the member banks on the
stock OF the regional banks to per cent,
instead of per cent
Senator Hitchcock questioned Mr.. I'm
'elhSSF ds 10 MS opinion or the plan
which the Nebraska Senator has ad-
vanced for limiting the Treasury note
issue to 10 per cent of the total capi-
talizatiOn OF the banks. Mr.. Untermyer
disagreed with the Senator, claiming that
the Issue OF currency should be based on
the varying demands of commerce and
that this country has no experience on
which to base any limit which might be
arbitrarily set on the total issue OF such
currency.
Mr.. UnteTmyer advocated the elimina-
ton OF the provision creating an ad-
Visory board Of bankers to confer with
the Federal Reserve Board. Mr.. Unte.-
myer suggested empowering the Federal
reserve banks to buy and sell domestic
bills OF exchange.
Senator Weeks asked why IT would not
be better TO have the Federal Reserve
Banks issue the proposed new currency
instead OF having the increased currency
provided by means of Treasury notes
That the notes of all the banks would be
discredited in the event OF one of the
regional banks being weak was the rea-
son given by Mr.. Untermyer.

Few DIstricts RcEistered.

Mexico City. Sept "a bill providing
for the indefinite postponement of the
general election set for October IS was
introduced in the Chamber Of Deputies
this evening by Senior Bloc, who is known
as a Maderoists.
The reason given for the motion to
postpone the election is that less than
half the total number of election dis
tricts have been registered and that
northern States OF the republic are still
in revolution. A postponment would
have the effect of legalizing the candi-
dacy OF Federico GambOa, the Catholic
party candidate, whose membership in
the Cabinet within less than sixty days
Of the eletcion would invalidate his cleo
ton according to the constitution. Post
ponement also would have the effect OF
improving the chances Of Felix Diaz'
whose campaign has been permitted TO
languish since he has been abroad.
A play called Las Musas de Pals in
which President Wilson, Special Envoy
John Lind. and the United States gov
ernment are ridiculed. was enthusiastic

HEARING Turns
AGAINST TAXIS
Evidence Adduced Indicated
that Companies Busi-
ness Is General. "
GIVEN SHARP REPRIMAND
Deci,iou of Public Utilities Commission
Will Be Rendered at
Later Date.

Adverse evidence was piled up
against the taxicab companies yester-
day at their hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission to determine the
question of that body's jurisdiction
over them. Further testimony was
given to show that the companies
drivers, although unlicensed, are doing
such general" business as may come
their way, and members of the com
mission sharply raised the question OF
the right of the taXicab people to the
exclusive occupancy OF space in front
Of hotels.
1t was made evident by the com
missioners that they look with dis
favor upon methods OF the cab com
panies to obtain a monopoly OF street
space through contract fiction OF
renting" exclusive cab service to the
hotels. Samuel V. Hayden, attorney
for the Federal TaXicab Company, was
pressed with a number of questions
concerning the operation of this par
ticular privilege Of his clients.
The hearing yesterday will probably De
the last one upon the question OF the
commissioner jurisdiction. Attorneys
for the cab companies will file written
briefs to show why the companies are
not common carriers" while James A.
O'Shea will file a brief for the individual
cab drivers to show that these componies
are common carriers and as such
come under the Jurisdiction of the com
mission. The decision of the commission
will likely be announced in the near fu-
ture.
Definite Answers Wanted.
During the thorough discussion Of the
subject OF private cab stands before the
hotels the commissioners strongly m
dicatef that they not only question the
right of a cab company to station its
cabs at such places to the exclusion OF
others hut they, also. intimated that they
may designate these places as public
cab stands. Mr. Hayden asked that in
event such action is considered, he be
granted a public hearing.
In the course OF Attorney Hayden
answers to questions, Commissioner
Newman had occasion to request that
he no longer beat about the BUSH but
give definite statements
Commissioner Harding asked Mr.. Hay
den whether his company did not enjoy
speciaI privilege in standing their cabs
before the Willard.
4 think the Willard Hotel claims the
right to stand the cabs in front of the
hotel" was his reply.
J. w. Bevens. an employe OF the
Treasury Department, testified that he
has hired cabs from the hotel cab stands
on four or five occasions to take him to
his home in Chevy Chase, and he was
never asked whether or not he was
guest Of the hotel.
John F. Davis. licensed chauffeur and
individual cab driver. gave in his testi-
mony several instances showing that
taxis are hired to persons other than
hotel guests.
