President Fix November | as
Earliest Possible Date to Expect
! Report of Committee on Finance
Republicans Are Said To Be PIa-
Gated by Wilson's Announce
ment That Legislation Will Not
Be Considered Along Party Lines

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s-All hope
of enacting the Administration cur
rency bill into law at the present ses-
sion Of Congress was given up to-day.
Confidential reports made to the Pres
ident set November 1 as the earliest
possible date upon which a report on
the measure could be looked for from
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee.
Al the same it was stated that six
eecks of debate would be consumed
by the Senate before the bill could be
passed on to the conferees of the SEN
ate and House,
The President was assured that
there was no disposition on the part
of legislators of the Upper House 10
hold out against the Administration.
Republican members of the Banking
and Currency Committee have been
piacated by the Chief Executives dec
Iaration that he had no intention of
making the pending bill a strictly
party measure, ana they too, will join
in signing a report so as to facilitate
matters
A suggestion has ueen made that
the Banking and Currency Commit
tee hold night hearings beginning next
week in order to hurry along a report.
The opening of direct negotiations
with Republican Senators, it is under
stood, was decided upon by the Presi-
dent because Of suggestions from out
side sources that they We're endeavor-
ing to delay action in committee.
Senator Stone Of Missouri, gave no.
tice in the Senate to-day that he
would address that body Wednesday
on the necessity of immediate action
on currency legislation. No session
Of the committee was held to-day.

FOrsakes Society to
Tame Savage Moros
Mrs. LorilIard Spencer, of New York
and Newport, to Sail for
Philippines.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Mrs. Loril-
lard Spencer, society leader of New
York and Newport, will forsake the
drawing room and the card table for
the wild jungles of the Philippines,
there to make good citizens of the
savage Moros by force of moral sua-
sion.
Shocked at the primal savagery of
the natives on the Island of Jolo,
which she visited several months ago,
Mrs. Spencer was inspired to the be-
lief that instruction in the religion
and Industries of peace would bring
surer, more substantial civilization
to the Moros than the militant meth
DDS of Uncle Sans soldiers, with
their rifles and their intimidation.

British Interests Are
Huerta' S Main Allies.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-No con-
firmation has been received at the
State Department of the rumors cur
rent to-day that General Huerta had
resigned the Presidency of Mexico.
A long distance dispatch received
from Charge d'Affaires O'Shaugh-
messy, however. made il clear that the
Huerta administration has received
its greatest encouragement from the
British Minister in Mexico City and
the British interests throughout the
republic These important things are
set forth in Mr.. O'Shaughnessy's mes
sage:
The British colony in Mexico City
and British moneyed interests else
where in Mexico are standing by
Huerta and the Huerta Government.
Wants to Guard Interests.
The British Minister has adopted
the views of his people on the situa-
tion, possibly on the advice Of his
home government The Minister holds
that when Huerta resigns his sue
cessor should be a man who will take
care of British interests in Mexico as
Huerta has done.
The belief of administration officials
here is that Great Britain is assert
ing a domination over the diplomatic
corps in Mexico city and is ignoring
the United States because this Gov
ernment has not shown an inclination
to consult with the others
The present alignment in the diplo-
matte meetings in Mexico City is:
How Powers Are Aligned.
Great Britain. Japan, Spain and
most of the important South and Cen
tral American countries on the one
side, ana Germany, Austria, France
and the remainder of the South and
Central American countries on the
other.
The announced purpose of the meet
ing of the diplomats at the office of
the German Minister to agree upon
some solution Of the situation in the
republic has caused some perturba-
ZION at the State Department, as such
a solution may not be in accordance
with the American policy and might
preCipitate an awkward clash.
There was a general disinclnation
at the department to-day to discuss
any phase of the situation in detail
or to even hint at what this Govern
ment proposes to do in the event Of
Huerta actually resigning.

Hoke Smith Certain
Currency Bill Will Pass.

Senator Hoke Smith. home for a
weeks respite from his work in Con-
gress, predicted Saturday night an
easy victory for the currency meas
ure Of which he has been an active
advocate. He thought that 1t ought to
reach the Senate from the Banking
and Currency Committee about No
vember 10.
Senator Smith said that the sup
porters Of the measure had deter
mined that there should be no inter-
Terence win the legislative progress
Of the bill as it was regarded as the
most important measure remaining to
be considered by the present Con-
gress Any attempt to obtain prece-
dence for another bill will meet with
prompt resistance that already has
been successful in keeping the path
clear for the passage of the measure,
the Senator declared.
All opposition to the main princi-
pies of the bill, which are to provide
concentration of the reserves and
10 make the currency OF the country
elastic so that 1t will meet all de-
nands in the time of panic, has been
abandoned, according to Senator
Smith.
Everyone is convinced of the
necessity of the Government having
more Of hand in the expansion and
contraction Of the currency" he said
The only difference Of opinion is on
some Of the minor details such as
how many members shall the board
contain and who is to be chosen to
assist In the regulation of the cur
Fency. These details must be consid-
cred carefully"
Senator Smith is in Atlanta merely
for a rest while the committee has
the currency bill under consideration.
He will return to Washington the
latter part Of the week.

Former Guard Declares Half OF
Horror at Federal Penitentiary
Has Not Been ReveaIed-Cites
Cases Little Short Of Barbarous.
H. 7. Thomson Charges Convict
Was Kept Beneath Earth Until
He Contracted Fatal MaIady.
Says Negroes Boss White Men.

L RESH revelations of inhu-
L name treatment of prison.
ers in the Atlanta Federal Peni
tentiary are coming to light daily
how that the first startling
charges have been made by Ju-
liam Hawthorne and DIR. w. J.
Morton.
Guards and attaches who have
insistently withheld their names
for fear of punishment or some
form of reprisal have made ac-
cusations of abuses, including
underfeeding and Imprisonment
in the "hOle" underground. A
! statement was made Saturday by
II. T. Thomson, a former guard
at the prison, in which he told q
narrowing story of abuses that
came within his observation.
Thomson, now a travelling
salesman, named many sensa-
tional details, among them tho
following:
A white convict, No. 180,
was kept in the dungeon for
three weeks, contracting iv-
er trouble which caused his
death shortly afterward.
Convict Sol was in the
dungeon several weeks. His
legs were swollen so that he
could not arise from his cot
for days.
Convict 521, a man named
Lang, was kept in the
"hole" for 145 days, charged
with assaulting an officer.
When taken in he weighed
180 pounds; when released,
115 pounds.
White men were sent into
the fields in charge Of an
armed negro overseer.
Men were placed in the
dungeon for trivial offenses,
and kept chained in stand
ing positions.
Thomson was outspoken in his -
cusation that conditions were little
short of barbarous at times, as they
came within his notice, and that the
instances of which he told were not
exceptions, but rather the horrible
custom.
The half OF the things that have
occurred in the Atlanta Federal pen
| itentiary can never be told" he de-
clared Saturday, talking to a Sunday
| American reporter. They will never
| be revealed, because the guards and
| officers can hardly remember the
| spectacles that come before their
| gaze l can not, I admit. Many
things l can not recall, and yet there
are some incidents that have fixed
themselves firmly upon the pages Of
my memory. The story told by Haw-
thorne and DR.. Morton is but a mild
| beginning.
The dark hole of which they
spoke is a reality. Men have been
kept there for weeks at a time, to my
certain knowledge. They have been
remanded to the hole for trivial Of
fenses and kept prisoners within its
sitting walls for days and weeks.
They have been kept chained in
standing positions for intolerable pc
riods, with great suffering as a re
suit.

HOO EAT HOG

The feeding of the roasted car

remainder of the herd has prov

remedy for hog cholera, accord

his misfortune and tired Of bury

let the carcasses accumulate be-
