MEASURE
SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT
Argent Deficiency Bill is Approved
-Abolishes Commerce Court
Hearing on Currency COntin-
ues Bankers on Stand
Telegram by United Press.

Telegram by United Press.
Washington, Oct. 22.-The urgent
deficiency bill, arranging 10 abolish
the commerce court the first Of the
year, removing civil service protection
from a thousand deputy revenue col
lectors. providing funds for the Pana-
ma canal and other federal enterprises,
was signed today by the president.
Two witnesses discussed the admin
istration currency bill before the sen
ate committee Tuesday. Victor Mora
wetz of New York. who championed
the measure. completed his testimony
and Alexander Gilbert. president of
the Fulton Market bank of New York,
took the stand. Both generally in
dorsed the bill. but suggested a num-
ber of changes in the detailed provis-
ions. Both urged the reduction Of the
number OF federal reserve banks fixed
by the bill at twelve.
Mr.. Gilbert presented a table show
ing the resources available for the or
ganization Of six regional banks, to
be located in New England, the east
ern states, the south, the Missouri val
ley, central west and the Pacific coast.
He urged that the bill be amended to
allow the banks representation on the
federal reserve board. To avoid
stringency, which he said would follow
shifting of bank capital and deposits
to the proposed federal reserve banks,
he proposed that the shifting be done
gradually, in small installments.
Mr.. Morawetz objected to the pro
vision giving the federal reserve board
power to force any regional bank to
rediscount paper for any other regional
reserve bank. He said that this pro-
vision would lead to sectional politi-
cal demands for rediscount and result
in bad management of the regional
banks.
Questioned by Senator Nelson, Mr..
Morawetz said that the bill provided
for central bank, shorn Of many Of
its advantages"
ut would scatter the reserves of the
country in various banks" he said
"but would keep the system under the
domination of central board"
Senator O'Gorman remarked during
the examination that no partisan po
litical consideration, had entered In
any way into the framing Of the cur
rency bill.

Washington. d. c., Oct 22.-Much
pressure is being brought to bear on
congress by the various Confederate
Veteran organizations throughou the
south to have the government return
to the southern states all of the direct
tax collected on cotton after the war
between the states, which still remains
in the federal treasury. to the end that
it might be used to assist in pension
the southern soldiers and their widows.
In all about $60O0O.O0O as direct tax
or cotton was collected and the SUI
preme court of the United States has
held that the tax was illegally col
lected and that it should be returned
to the payers upon presentation of the
original receipts given for it, a large
proportion of which have been lost
or mislaid.
Representative Scott Ferris for a
long time has had a bill pending IN
congress for the return Of this illegally
collected cotton tax. Mr.. Ferris has
already taken a keen interest in Co
operating with those who are assisting
to bring about the desired result and,
if sufficient pressure can be brought
to bear upon congress by those now
engaged in promoting the passage Of
such legislation, either the bill intro
duced by Representative Ferris ol
something similar to it. may .tand {
sood change of passage at the mex

Washington. Oct. 22.-The admins

that the Mexican elections sunday will
be a farce and increasing danger for
foreigners there is feared.
II is believed that none Of the five
presidential candidates will receive a
majority and with the announcement
OF no choice, Huerta will continue his
dictatorship, precipitating demonstra-
tions that will possibly require immed-
late action by the United States.
However, the policy OF hands off"
will be changed only by serious ous-
RACES. Confidential advices received
here emphasize the gravity Of affairs
and the president and Secretary Bryan
are comforting frequently.

MlNco GIRL WINS
PONY IN A CONTEST.

If there is a prouder girl in Grady
county than Miss Bonnie Hale, aged
1S, of Minco, no one knows of it, for
little Miss Bonnie is near bursting with
pride and has a right to be. as she is
the possessor Of a perfectly fine Shet-
land pony and complete outfit.
AT that, Santa Claus didn't bring it,
but the possession Of the miniature
horse and runabout is made doubly
sweet by the fact that it was a prize
which she won by hard and constant
work. The work she did was taking
subscriptions for a farm journal, and
that she made a record is shown by
the fact that besides the Shetland
pony and cut-under. she won, saddle
and bride, a gold watch. two s6-piece
dinner sets. three bracelets. a leather
travelling bag, a writing set football
and a set OF silver spoons.
Miss Bonnie is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs Hugh Hale of Minco and
when she drives down the street she
is followed by crowd Of admiring
friends.
