CURRENCY BILL
READY FOR REPORT
THREE DEMOCRATS OF THE HOUSE
COMMITTEE OPPOSED TO IT.
CHANGES WERE MADE
Federal Reserve Board Will Remain Un-
der Government Control, but q
Board of Bankers Will Be
Named.

Observation-Disclosures of the adj
ministrstion currency bill >was practi-
cally concluded Friday by the Democrats
of the house banking currency commit
tee, after more than five weeks of con-
slant and stormy discussion. The bill
will 60 to the caucus with the disap-
proval Of at least three members of the
committee, it was virtually certain.
As closed the bill differs little in its
essentials from the administration meas.
ure framed by Representative Glass,
Chairman Owen of the senate committee
and Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo,
and approved by President Wilson.
Complete government control of the
federal reserve board, which will direct
the new banking and currency system,
deemed by the president the all-impor-
tant factor of the bill, was retained.
AT the eleventh hour Democratic MEM
bers of the committee Incorporated an
amendment providing for an advisory
board of bankers to advise" the fed
eral reserve board. This amendment was
in the nature of q compromise with the
banking interests, which protested Wig
o%rously against the exclusively govern
mental feature Of the control of the
board.
Another important amendment incor-
porated in the bill altered the rediscount
section comforting the power to require
federal reserve banks mutually to redis-
count paper. A change was made in the
division of the earnings of the federal
reserve banks created by the law. Orig
inally the banks were allowed a yearly
cumulative dividend of five per cent and
a surplus equal to 20 per cent of the
paid-in capital stock. All earnings above
these amounts reverted to the govern
ment.
As amended the balance of earnings
after the five per cent dividend and the
20 per cent surplus will be paid 60 per
cent to the government to be used as a
sinking fund to reduce the national debt
and 40 per cent to be divided among the
members banks in proportion to their
balances in the federal reserve bank con
cerned.
As finally passed, the reserve section
requires that after Il period of gradual
changes, the country banks must keep
their Is per cent reserves either in their
wv vaults or in the federal reserve bank
of the district in which they are 10.

HUERTAOETERM|NED
TO FIGHT TO FINISH
HIS REFUSAL TO RESIGN HAS BE.
CLOUDED THE ISSUE.
BROOKS NO INTERFERENCE
Gen. Hay, Representative of Rebels, Will
Appear Before Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee ard Argue
Their Cause.

Washington. - Official Washington
read with keen interest the declaration
OF Aureliano Urrutia, Mexican minister
of the interior, that Provisional Prcsi-
dent Huerta would not resign and, more
over, would brook no interference by
foreigners in his administration
While no plan that the American gov
ernment has had under serious consldera-
ton involved any direct interference IN
Mexican affairs, the admitted attitude
OF the administration here is one OF UNI
alterable opposition to the saeognition
of the Huerta regime.
Without the recognition Of the unlte;.
States. leading Mcxicans Hitherto have
claimed Mexico would nc4 be able to
extricate itself from its financial diff
~culties. On this account il had been be-
lieyed here that pressure would be
brought to bean to persuade Provisional
President Huerta TO rcsign.
The announcement tnat he has deter
mined not to do so aas beclouded the
situation and has spared the const;tu-
tionalists to fusther activity to oosain
the repeal OF the enlarge on arms. They
claim that if they Go not get arms The
revolution will he e. %protracted s%t"uggle.
With muniticns cf war they say they
can quickly bring matters to "a Crisis.
Gen. Ed~uaNdo'iiay, who has neen Sc.
lected by the constitutionalists as their
spokesman, now is in Washington and
will present this view to the senate for
eign relations committee this week. Hav-
ing taken part in many BATTLES, Hay is
familiar with the military situation in
Mexico and is prepared to answer all
questions as TO the aims and aspirations
Of the revolutionists.

PERSONAL AGENT TO MEXICO
John Lind Named Adviser to Embassy
at Mexico City.

Washington.-The single fact that
President Wilson has commissioned en-
Gov. John Lind of Minnesota to go to
Mexico as his personal representative to
succeed Henry Lane Wilson, whose res
ignation as ambassador was formally ac-
cepted by Secretary Bryan, is susceptible
of but one construction. This admins
tration does not think hat the alter
native of Intervention at this time is
necessary or ever advisable. For the
very reason that ex-Gov. Lind goes to
Mexico City as the personal representa-
tive of President Wilson without refer
ence to the official title that would have
preixed his mann in ordinary circum.
stances means first and in the fullest
sense that the Huerta regime is not rec
ognized by the United States.

MULE BALK" THE LATEST
Washington Society Has Satire on Mod
ern Dances.

Washington.-The mule balk," a ga.
tire on the modern dance, is Washing.
toms latest contribution TO modern
dances. 1t originated in the army set,
and Miss Janet Allen, the society Wild
West rider, has been hailed as its in
ventor. Miss Allen laughingly denies
the impeachment. aowever.
The first movement of the mule halk
is that of the turkey trot, with a swif.
reversal into the horse trot and tango
steps. Suddenly an a~lluring dreamy
waltz is begun by the band. The dane
ers stop short and refuse to dance a
step. In vain the music wooes them !;
they will have hone of the time-honored
waltz. With a loud crash the music
then breaks into a turkey trot. the floor
wakes again to life and ''everybody's
doin it,"

SAVING AN ANCIENT INDUSTRY.

Justice Scudder's decision that II is
not SANDER to call a horse dealer "a
skin" establishes another bulwark for
free speech. AS the justice remarked
IL Diminishing the suit, Things like
that are nearly always said In the
course of a horse deal" They are, In
fact. an essential part of the transac-
ton, says the New York World. There
probably never was a horse deal one
party to which did not think he had
been cheated, and to prevent by law
the free expression of his grievance
in the trades time honored terms of
invective would amour to an inter-
ference with an ancient American in
dustry. The decision in effect a u
thorizes the continuance OF horse
dealing under Its traditional methods.
whereas an adverse ruling would
have tended to hamper II not destroy
it In thus Identifying the language Of
horse trading the learned judge does
not, 1t is true. raise 1t to the level
OF the language of politics. 1t may
still be hazardous to call a dealer a
crook or liar. Apart from its new
legal status, Skin" is defined in the
dictionaries as "a cheat, or fraud. or

like scamp" and "loafer" on the lips
OF a mayor. it has lost its original
force from frequent and promiscuous

A BIG CUT IN
EXPRESS RATES
EXPRESS COMPANIES WILL TEST
THE ORDER IN COURTS.
SIMPLIFY PRESENT RATES
Question of Applying Block Rates May
Be Taken Up at Any Time-Parcel
Post Not Justification for
Higher Rates.

Observation-Disclosures in express
rates which will cost the companies fully
$4,000, 900 a year, approximately 16 per
cent of their gross revenues, were or
dered by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, to become effective on or before
October 16, 1913. Notable reforms in
practices were also ordered.
The most important change prescribed
by the order is by way of modification of
the pres ent graduated scale of parcel
rates. One hundred pound rates for
short distances either have been left I'M
changed or slightly reduced; for longer
distances they have been lowered. For
so pounds or less all rates have been
practically reduced. For packages Of
more than four pounds going more than
200 miles and less than 1000, the new
express rates are generally lower than
the parcel post rates; for more than
5000 miles the rates sre practically the
same.
The report and order Of the commits
sion, prepared by Commissioner John II.
Marble, are a virtual affirmation of the
findings of former Commissioners Frank
lin X. Lane, now secretary OF the in
terror.
By prescribing a so-called block sys-
TEN, dividing the United States into $50
blocks averaging $500 square miles, as
originally proposed by Mr.. Lame, 9oo,-
DOC, 900 different rates o published by
the express companies will be reduced
to less than 100000 and the Interstate
Commerce Commission believes that the
system points the way to a solution OF
the existing maze OF freight rates.
The general impression in official quar-
tiers is that the, express companies will
attempt t test by legal means the con
~stitutionality of the commissions order.
Commissioner Marble holds the conten'
ton of the companies that the govern
ment parcel post service j%ustities higher
rates is untenable.
