.RUMOR FALSE
 OF DISPLACEMENT OF BIRMINGHAM

The wild rumor, published in an evening paper, yesterday, to the ef- feet that Superintendent of Police Flu gene Birmingham is to retire, that there are numerous candidates for the position and a reorganization of the Department of Police planned under the incoming administration, is today branded as a deliberate fa1sehood.
 Supt. Birmingham denied that he has any intention of retiring or that he has been approached on the sub ject. Looking to be in much better health than for years and admitting feeling much better, he appears to be good for a considerable time yet.
 That the administration can not consistently retire him unless upon his request or on account of unexpected relapse in health, is shown in the pub usheds statements by President George $. Hill of the board of police commis- stoners and Mayor Clifford B. Wilson. They were published in The Standard July 29.
 In connection with the same report and in the same paper, Mayor Wilson is quoted as branding the rumor as made up out of whole cloth and with absolutely no foundation.''
 With Supt. Birmingham in much improved health and having no in tention of retiring, it does not appear that any -'runored'' change is likely to take place unless those in power now want to go back on their assur- ances

Missing Minister
 Of Stamford Is In
 Chicago Sanitanium

Stamford, Nov. 6-Rev. c. H. Prid- dy, pastor of the Stamford Methodist Church, who disappeared suddenly on Sunday evening, is probably in a sani- tarium in Chicago. A message came, today, to Rev. Arthur H. Goodenough, district superintendent, to whom Mr. Priddy had addressed his letter of re- signation, and Rev. 10. M. Wiley, pas tor of a Presbyterian church in the west, to that effect
 The supposition here is that MT Priddy left for Ohio to stay with his mother but instead wandered to Chi ca,go where he got word to MT. Wiley who is a personal friend.
 The opinion is held here that Mir Fridays nerves were shattered from his arduous work in the no-Iicense campaign a year ago and the excite ment of attending the convention of Methodist ministers in Indianapolis undid the work of his restoration

Income Tax Law Enforcement Is Expected to Result in
 Change in Methods.
LARGE SURPLUS MAY

Sharp Advances of All Securi- ties of the Allied Com panies Feature of Wall
 Street Trading.

New York, Nov. 6-A sharp rise in the securities of Standard Oil Com panies was the. feature of today s operations in the curb market. The rise is supposed to have been stimu- lated by the belief that enforcement of the income tax may result in an early distribution of the large sur pluses held in the treasuries of the subordinate companies.
 Standard Oil of Kentucky advanced 45 points to 525 during the morning. Atlantic Refining rose from 655 to 690. Standard Oil of New York also registered an advance and stocks of foreign companies made minor gains.
 At the offices of the Standard Oil Companies knowledge of an approach ing distribution was denied but it was admitted that the income tax might work some change in prevailing div1- dend rates

WHITMAN RESUMES PROBE OF CHARGES MADE BY HENNESSY

New York, Nov. 6-The John Doe Investigating into the charges of Tam many corruption made during the re- cent campaign by John A Hennessy, was resumed, today, by District At torney Whitman. The examination of witnesses by Magistrate McAdoo was set for this afternoon.
 Among those cited to appear were Eugene D. Wood, a IobbyTsrs of this city and Albany and George H. Me Guire, of Syracuse. According to Hennessy, it was Mcclure who gave him much of the information concern ing the alleged "sandbagging'' of con tractors upstate to contribute to Tam many campaign funds. The district attorney has been supplied with a list of 43 firms and individuals said to have given Tammany money which was never reported.
 Wood, it was thought, would be questioned about the reported confer ence in New York relative to the nomination for the supreme court fin 1904 of Edward E. Mccall, defeated Democratic candidate for mayor.

COnStitutiOnaliStS
 Want United States To Lift
 Embargo On War Munitions
Pressure Brought To Bear On Presi= dent Wilson To Reconsider His Well Defined Position==Fur=
 ther Message Not Unlikely

Mexico City, Nov S.-There was still no indication here this morning as to whether Provisional President Huerta would make a formal reply to the communication made to him by the United States. The nature of the memorandum is said not to call for reply other than compliance.
 Opinion generally in line with the unofficial information obtainabIe Is that Huerta intends to refuse compl1- ance with the demands placed before him.
 Washington, Nov 6-The-n news that Huerta would reject the American de- mands for his elimination was received in official circles without comment Secretary Bryan had a long confer ence with President Wilson and Chair man Bacon of the Senate foreign re- lations committee was an early White House caller.
 Talk of lifting the embargo on arms was revived in congressional circles with considerable vigor. Some sena- tors have told the President there was an overwhelming sentiment in Con- gress in favor of permitting exports of arms to Mexico. The President, in his address to Congress last August, took a position against lifting the em- bargo. Many persons have been point ing to him, however, that one of the alternatives open if -Huerta declines to resign through the efforts of dip 1omacy, was to lend a moral support to the constitutioIa1ists' movement Constitutiona1ists here declare they do not desire recognition of their be1liger- ency, but only wish to obtain arms on an equality with Huerta.
 Although discretionary power to per- init exportatfons of munitions of war is vested with the President, some ob- servers think it unlikely that he would take such step without some commit nication with Congress. That phase of the situation has given rise to ex- pectations that President Wilson might soon read another message to Congress outlining the status of the negotia- tions with Mexico and making specific suggestions for future policy.
 Officials declined to say today wheth- CT they had received any answer, dt- rectly or indirectly, from Huerta to the latest demands.
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German turned to this country, had an engage ment with the President late today. Although the ambassador came to pay his respects, it was not improbable that the Mexican situation would be discussed. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the English ambassador, returned to the capital today.
 The foreign relations committee dis cussed the Mexican situation at length and considered chiefly the question of removing the embargo arms. Sem ators said nothing definite was done.

USED MONEY
 TO KEEP UP
 APPEARANCES
Not Tn Wall Street Did Greene Lose Funds of
 Others

Travel worn and showing clearly the effects of severe mental strain, Henry R. Greene, formerly prominent real estate dealer and business man under the firm name of Bartram and Greene, faced Judge Frank L. Wilder in city court this morning on a charge of embedding $2,000 from Louis ". Hill, trustee of the Hill estate. He was unaccompanied .by counsel and none of his relatives were present No testimony was taken and a contlnu- ance was allowed until Saturday. Bonds were continued at $6,OOO and there appeared to be little chance that the amount would be secured. Police intimation is that his shortage may amount to much more, possibly reaching $20,OOO. This has not been definitely determined.
 Contrary to rUmor, his difficulties. according to the police, are not due to speculation or stock market, but are the result of competition and bus in ess falling off.
 He has been missing since October 21. He arrived in Bridgeport yester- day and late in the afternoon surrend- cred himself to Detective Sergeant Pc ter H. Hackett of police headquar- ters. Bonds were fixed at $6,OOO bu1 were not secured.
 Since the trouble, Mrs. Greene has been seriously i'll as a result of worry and the former home at 1131 Noble avenue was closed.

Huerta Is Determined
 To Seat New Congress

Mexico City, Nov 6.-The purposes of Generad Huerta were voiced this morning by a personal aide to the pro- vfsionaI president. This man said the President was determined to reject all the demands made in the latest Amer jean communication and that he was resolved to seat the congress just elect ed. If congress, however, declares the recent presidential election to be null and makes arrangements for another election, Huerta would be disposed to abide by this decision and submit to the peoples choice Of man who would occupy the presidency until the autumn of 1916.

HEAR ARGUMENTS
 IN BUONOMO TRIAL

The testimony of Joe Buonomo be- fore Coroner Phelan which the state attempted to introduce before the jury in the criminal superior court this morning was ruled out by Judge Reed after objection had been raised by At torneys Cham berlain and Cullinan for the accused. They maintained that the record failed to show Buonomo had been warned his testimony might be used against him.
 When the testimony was finished this morning the arguments com menced Attorney John J. Cul1inan representing Buonomo, was heard first and presented the facts in an able manner to the jury.
 The arguments were still on at press hour. It is not probable that a verdict will be rendered before tomorrow.

Government Supervision
 But Private Ownership D Of
 Stock For Regional Banks
Two Democrats Join With Five Repub lican Members Of Committee Tn Drafting New Resolution-==Party Conference Urged To House
 Action On Bill

Washington, Nov. 6-The stock of the regional banks of the new cur rency system will be owned by the public and the regional banks will be controlled by the government. The Senate banking committee, today, in corporated that feature in the admin istration currency bill by a vote of seven to five.
 Senators Reed and Hitchcock, Dem ocrats, joined the five Republicans in voting for the resolution despite the protests of Senators Owen, Pomerene, Shafroth, Hollis and O'Gorman, the other Democrats. Jointly framed by Senators Reed, Hitchcock and Weeks, the resolution was regarded by some as the basis of a compromise between the White House and Senators in con- trol of the committee. The provi- sion in the House bill to compel na- tionaI banks to subscribe 10 per cent of their capital to the new system un- der penalty of losing their charters, would be eliminated. If, after sixty days, the public had not subscribed all the capital, the banks entering the system would be required to take up the remaining stock. That was one of the proposals in the Vanderlip plan.
 Control of the regional banks was settled by compromise resolution of fered by Senator Weeks providing that each regional bank have nine di- rectors, five to be selected by the gov ernment federal reserve board and four by the banks. Under the House bill, six Of the nine would be chosen by the banks.
 The action, today, is thought to have cleared the way for an agree ment of the committee and may has ten progress of the bill.
