PUSH CURRENCY REFORM BILL ID
 AN EARLY VOTE
Extreme Measures Have Been Decided Upon by Democrats in Senate to Force Measure Through, Even to Forego Recess
TAssoc1ArED PRESS DIspArcnl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-EXtreme measures have been decided upon by the democrats in the senate to force the currency reform bill to an early vote Determined to prevent the cur tailment of business activity and re- lieve the uncertainty in financial circ- les as to what form the currency legis- lation will take. the democrats have greed to make the bill a party meas ure at once and have no Christmas re- cess unless the measure is passed be- fore the time set for the holiday They will sit day and night until final ac- ton is taken.
 Senate leaders. acting in harmony with the president decided to sit behind closed doors the remainder of the week. including Thanksgiving, until an agree ment is reached to insure united sup port of the bill in the senate.
 The determination of the democrat leaders to press the currency bill to a vote quickly became more apparent tonight, when it was virtually agreed that the vote would be asked for when ever there came a lull in the speech making in the senate. It is believed the scaucuc will come to a complete agreement on all features of the bill Saturday and that the democrats will then unite in an effort to shorten the debate and push the bill to its passage.
 Speeches made in the conference to- day and tonight, especially by the sena- tors who recently returned to Wash ington from their home states, empha- sized the demand for immediate ac- ton so that conditions might resume a normal state and any contraction of credit be prevented. The caucus dis cussed the number of regional banks to be established but came to no decision. It is believed, however, that the eight bank plan of the owen bill will be en- dorsed.

COMBINATION ON
 COLD STORAGE
Attorney General Mickey holds Starts Investigation to Learn Just How Much Middlemen Control Sup ply and Fix Prices
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 26.-The Thanksgiving meal today will be the most expensive the average American family has eaten in recent years. It will cost from thirty-five to one hund- red per cent more than it did ten years ago and from fifteen to fifty per cent more than it did the last six years, ac- cording to recently gathered govern ment statistics.
 Thousands of turkeys have been spoiled by having been shipped to the market in the unseasOnably warm spell which oVerpoWered the country one week ago. The drought of last summer which spoiled the crop fields, particu- larly potatoes; an alleged cold storage combination which Attorney General McReynolds is Investigating to find if millions of dozens of eggs and millions Of pounds of dairy products have been withheld from the market by middle men to force high prices and a steady soaring of prices generally in the last decade are among the contributing causes to which the economists point.
 The great American hen, however is somewhat responsible for the extra ordinary price of eggs, according to the department of agriculture officials, who are reluctant to place all the blame upon the cold storage men. The heat and drought of last summer, they say caused the hens to stop laying sooner than usual. -.,....
 As to the turkey, the rise in price seems to have been all along the route to the consumer, beginning at the barn. yard, where the farmer received an av- craze of 15 cents per pound for the birds, about half cent more than he received last year.
 The family which turns from the turkey to the chicken or pork or beef, will find the prices uniformly ad- vanced. Hens show an average in- crease of eight cents per pound, pork from two to eight cents; rib roasts two to ten cents; sweet potatoes are about the same price as last year, but the white potato crop is one hundred mill lion bushels below last year and dang erous plant diseases abroad which have checked importations. have forced an increase in the price of apples, oranges, and grapes which are scarce because of short crops
 Cranberries with a normal crop are a little higher than last year. Flour and sugar are uniformly cheaper and butter shows no comparative advance
 Eggs, however, from incomplete re- turns dated November Is, from all the principal cities, show an increase rang ing from three to twenty four cents dozen over last years prices.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The reading of the textbook of the Mazdaznan sun worshipers cult occupied the entire day in the trial in federal court here of Ottoman Ear Adusht Hanish. the high priest of Mazdaznan. The book was branded as objectionable by the prosecutors, and Hanish is on trial for sending it by express in violation of the interstate commerce law.
 The crowd which filled the court room, in which were many women, gave close attention while the two district attorneys took turns in read ing the original philosophy expressed in the twelve lessons into which the book is divided. The subject matter, which is largely medical in it's na- ture, dealt with the subject of eugen- ics and the relations of the sexes Many of the paragraphs proved em- barrassing
 The reading will be finished tomor- row, the jurors having agreed to sit on Thanksgiving day. It is under stood that the government will rest it's case on the book, and that the lawyers for Hanish will contend that the book is proper to be circulated among persons old enough to under stand it's lessons

Fletcher Sanguine

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-A wire less report from Rear Admiral Fletcher indicates that conditions in the oil regions near TuXpam are not as threatening as previously report ed. It is indicated that no imme- diate aggressive action on the part of the United States to furnish pro- tection is necessary. Although there is no official report with relation to the Tampico district, the belief here is that the situation there will be found similarly controlled.
 The border situation. as result of the vigorous operations near Juarez, and the possibility of an other siege of the city has aroused the war department to action to af- ford ample protection to Fl Paso and the neighboring border territory. or ders were issued today for the move ment from Fort Douglas, Utah to Fl PasO of the Twentieth Infantry which will be used to preserve or der within the city limits. The ar rangement is to permit the use of two regiments of cavalry now in the vicinity of Fl Paso to guard the bor- der in each direction from the city.
 In addition, a battery of the fif- teenth artillery and Brigadfer Gen eral Hugh L. Scott. with q squadron of the twelfth cavalry will go to Fl Paso as soon as they have composed the threatened outbreak of the Ma vajOs in New Mexico.
 The war department, at the re- quest of the American Red Cross, has issued orders permitting them to bring wounded Mexican soldiers, federal and cOnstitutionalists alike. across the border into Fl Paso The Red Cross finds it easier to care for the wounded in American territol than to enter into international ne gotiatiOns necessary to cross the boundary
 It is suggested that one important result of a rebel victory might be to bring into greater prominence the question of recognition by the United States of the constitutiOnalists' party as the defacto government of northern Mexico. Now Carranza can claim that his party is practically in physical possession of all the north ern states of Mexico and it is eX- pected he will comply further with the requirements of the international law by setting up a permanent capi- tol at HermosillO or Magdalena and completing the organization of a provisional government. It is under stood this question was discussed by Hale, in the recent negotiations with Carranza and Escudero. Then it was rather hypothetical as the fed erals were in great force in the state of Chihuahua Hale is expect ed in Washington within a few days.

CALUMET, Nov. 26.-The Michigan Copper strike took a serious turn again tonight, when a attempt was made to blow up the compressor house of the Ahmeck mine.
 A heavy charge of dynamite was eX- ploded by a time fuse, but the force of the explosion was spent outside the building. The most serious damage consisted of shattered windows. Within twenty feet Of the compressor house is the bunk house occupied by the mine guards.
 Officials think those who planned the explosion expected to destroy the bunk house. as well as the compressor house The sheriff of KeweenaW county re- 0uested Governor Ferris today to de- clare martial law in Allouez township, where there has been considerable shooting recently.

Claim is Made They De -mand Removal of Gunboat Bravo on Threat of Fir ing Tanks and Devastat- ing Entire Town
FLETCHER IS
 NOT ALARMED
Says Conditions i'll the Oil Fields Are Not as Threat enlng as Previously Re ported-Says No Aggres- sive Action Necessary
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 MEAlCO CITY, Nov. 26.-"Remove the gunboat Bravo or We will fire on the oil tanks in the city of Tam pico and along the banks of the river above"
 This threat, according to private information received here, was sent the commander of the federals at Tampico yesterday. So long as the garrison at Tampico is aided by the guns of Bravo, there is little chance Tor the rebels to capture and hold the city. But they might easily de- Vastate the whole region by carrying out the threat to shoot the tanks and fire the oil, estimated at one hundred thousand barrels
 Should the oil tanks up the river be fired, the floating flames would be carried into the heart of the city, most effectually removing the men ace offered by the gunboat, destroy all shipping and probably a fair part of the town.
 That the rebels will carry out their threat is regarded by some officials as by no means improbable, although foreigners owning property in the neighborhOod of Tampico are de- pending on the promise of the rebels not to molest the tanks.

FL PASO. Nov. 26.-One hundred and eightyfour wounded men are in the hospitals at Juarez as result Of the unsuccessful federal attack upon Juarez General Villa and G,000 rebel troops are back in Juarez. south of Juarez for sixteen. to twenty miles there are no rebel soldiers Villa says he has some further south, and that the city is well guarded against the reappearance of the enemy.
 But Villa has made no effort to pursue the enemy. lie captured number of federal field pieces and several cars. Horses dragged in fif- teen field pieces, five were brought on the train that brought the rebel lead CT himself, and five more were brought in tonight on the train which Villa left on the field today, in charge of the burial squad.
 Villa had but nine guns when he went out He said yesterday he cap tured 600 federals. Today he brought less than 200 to Juarez. He admits having executed some of them. Ap- rarently the greatest number of dead as a result of the fighting are those who faced the firing squad and paid the penalty for supporting Huerta.
 A trip over the battlefield today revealed very few dead bodies. or new made graves There were plen- ty of empty cartridges and exploded shrapnels were found upon the field. Two new made groves were seen near Mesa where Villa made headquarters and dead bodies were loaded on the train at Mesa late today by rebel soldiers while the correspondent of the Associated Press was present io6 and each evidently had died at the hands of the exeCutiOner. These were the only dead or evidence of dead seen upon the field. There was no evidence of the dead at Bauche where the rebels had their artillery and turned back the federal effort on Monday to flank them on the left. None were found the whole length of the rebel line to Mesa, or straight south to the federal trenches several miles from Mesa. Ample evidence of very recent activity is apparent at the recent location of the two armies, but the field is no more strewed nor filtered than it would have been if any big encampment of men had been made there for two or three days.
 Rebel soldiers explained that the federal dead had been gathered up and buried and they pointed off be- ycnd the hills. If there are as many federal dead as result of the battle
