Confabs on Currency

Washington, Nov. 7.-Prospects
OF separate conferences of Republi-
can and Democratic senator's over
currency legislation loomcd up again
today with some sentiment that con-
gress might adjourn while they were
being held. Chairman Owen Of the
banking committee and Majority
Leader Kern said they saw no oblec-
tion a short adjournment, but they
did not know the presidents atti-
t,,de. Both sections oft he banking
committee continued work today.
The Democrats expected a report
ready for the senate by Wednesday,
Senator Newlands Of Nevada, in
a speech fromthe floor today cut
lined his plan ny which reserve as
socIations would be formed in each
state and federated into a general

CITY SEEKS MORE FUNDS TO PAY
TAYLOR Administration DEBTS

fore the supreme court in the Dem
yer county matter resulting from the
controversy with Commissioner of
Finance Clair Pitcher.
The i3-miil levy OF the TAYLOR
administration was made at a time
when Mayor Taylor was interested
more than anything else in bolster
ing his record" There had heen
u remarkable change in public senti-
ment and the revenue provided by
the l3-mill levy was Insufficient to
care for the expense OF the city.
Thus. when the new administration
came in. the funds reached bed rock
about the second month. Moreover,
unable to pay city warrants. the
warrants were registered and are
now standing unpaid. Dunlavy has
been dragging this mill stone since
he took office. The funds are 30 short

of 6Gi mills authorized for the fiscal
year 1913 by the city council at its
last meeting in October and which is
an Increase of % per cent. the limit
of increase under the law. and which,
1t is declared by the present council.
will provide ample revenue to run
the city.
At the conference Saturday former
Mayor Taylor sought to shift the re-
sponsibiity upon, the shoulders of
the present administration by charg-
ing extravaganza. Mayor Dunlavy
in a very few words silenced his crit
ic by pointing out the deplorable
condition ofthe city's finances re-
sulting from the "grandstand' meth
ods ofthe Taylor regime and the lack
of foresight and good Judgment of
Taylor.

That the militia searched the un-

It mildly. Empty coffin cases were

The suspicious circumstances
which probably led to the search be-

coffin boxes were delivered At the

bad shape financially and has been
ever since Dunlavy and the present
council took office. The funds are
depleted. All Improvement work
has been halted. All because former
Mayor Taylor foisted upon the city

the only way out is the step that the

Houston, Texas, Nov. 1.-THE
strike OF operating employees of the
Southern Pacific lines In Texas and
Louisiana was ended today when the
railroad yielded to demands of the
men to meet federated committee OF
the four unions in the controversy.
The men were ordered to resume
work Immediately.
Within thirty minutes after the
announcement was made that the
strike had been ended, wheels which
had been idle began to turn in the
Houston railroad yards.
Announcement OF the settlement
was made by General Manager ]. w.
Van Fleet of the Sunset Central lines
here and which was confirmed by
the federated committee OF the strik-
ers.
During the strike mail piled up at
many places and supplies OF merchan-
disc ran low in towns which depend
ed exclusively on the Southern Pa
cific for service.
Several Houston contractors sus-
pended business temporarily today
because shipments of material by ex-
pected demands over the Southern
Pacific was delayed indefinitely. The
railroad did not attempt to move any
freight after operating employees in
Louisiana and Texas went on strike
last Thursday night.
Orders have been issued for gem
eral resumption of train service on

al activities on the Southern Pacific
