FINANCIAL DANGER IN
MEXICO IS CHECKED,
Proclamation of Holiday Serves to
Cause Reopening of the Banks of
London in MexiCo==Fighting
In Northern Country.

Mexico City, Dec. 22.-The Banks of
London and Mexico began tonight a
careful scrutiny of the affairs of that
institution and if the finding is en-
dorsed by other bankers it is not i'm
probable that assurances will be Of
fered the directors which will enable
a full resumption of the business of
the institution. 1t is reasonably GER
tain, however. that the bank will con-
tinue to avail itself of the decree of
President Huerta issued today, max
ing the last 10 days of the present
year legal holiday. With the posi-
bic exception of one other institution
it is believed that no other bank than
the Bank of London and Mexico will
take advantage of the ofHcial act
which authorizes financial institutions
to do as little or as much business as
they desire during what is regarded
as a financial crisis.
The Bank of London and Mexico
was crowded to its capacity at the
closing hour of business today by men
and women who were trying to with
draw their accounts. The lines of de-
positors extended from inside the bank
to the street. The amounts paid de-
positors were limited to 200 pesos and

this much would be given out in the
future. The approximate amount

TELEPHONE LILIES WOULD COST
LESS TAN S9,O00,Q0o,O0O.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Government
ownership of the nations telephone
lines would cost less than 5000, 00o, 600
and would present no greater difficult
ties of financing than did the Panama
canal, Representative Lewis of Mary
land told the House today. in an ex-
haustive analysis of his proposal to
have those lines operated by the post
office department
Representative Lewis, who took a
leading part in the establishment of
the parcel post, and who has made a
study with post office officials of gov
eminent ownership of the electrical
lines of communication, does not pro-
pose 10 have the government take over
tho telegraph companies. His plan is
to have the government first own the
telephone network of the country,
operate some of the telephone lines
as telegraphs as is now possible I'M
der modern mechanical conditions, and
have the government system compete
with the private telegraph companies
at the outset in the same proportion
as the parcel post now completes with
the express companies.
Tie perVerSlOn OF the laws or PUBIC
and private financiering," said Mr.
Lewis, "by which public governments
have been disinherited of their normal
functions has led to such corruption
and decentralization that cities like
New York with its street railways,
Philadelphia with its gas works and
San Francisco with it's telephones,
have shamed the scions of Roman cor
ruption in their most dishonorable
days"
Investigation discloses that our tel
egraphic rates are the highest among
20 countries. The result of these alb
normal rates is that we rank but ninth
as telegraph users. Against these con-
ditions it appears that our postal
rates average lower than other coun-
tries, and that the number Of letters
here is the highest in the world.

be lacking in institutional economy or
efficiency. The operation Of sending

than 90 of which would be replaced

SUMMARY OF THE BILL.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The new bill
affecting the currency, banking and
finances of the country, which both
branches of Congress prepared to pass
before adjournment tonight, and
goes before President Wilson for
his signature, is one of the most
ar-reaching measures relating to
finance that has been enacted in
many years. The magnitude of the
subject, the diversity of interests af-
fccted, and the length of the debates
IN both branches of Congress, has made
1t difficult for the ordinary observer
to follow the changes and grasp the
essentials of this highly technical
measure IN its important bearings on
money, finance, banking and the en-
tire range of fiscal subjects, public
and private which 1t affects. With q
view, therefore. of presenting sue
cinctly and in n-technical language,
an epiteme of the salient features of
the measure as finally framed, the fol-
lowing summary is given of the bill
as a whole and of its principal de-
tails.
Generally speaking, the first steps to
be taken to bring into operation the
nations new financial system will be-
through an organization committee
consisting of the secretary of the
treasury, secretary of agriculture and
comptroller of the currency. Banks
have 60 days within which to file their
applications for membership in the

A statement showing the growth Of
the postal savings business is con-
tanned in the report AT the close of
the first six months of operation, there
were 1913 depositors with $671, Jas to
their credit. On June 50. 1918, at the
close of two and a half years, there
were 931 ,006 depositors with 1873, S1S,S70
to their credit.
The use of the parcel post service as
a ready, cheap and efficient means of
transportation has been realized by the
people and they have accepted it as

sumner is placed in direct touch with
the farmer and producer, whose prod

lowest possible price and the way to
the lowering of the high cost of living

Washington, Dec. 22.-Although ad-
ministration leaders in Congress bent
every effort for a speedy approval OF
the currency bill today that 1t might
be hurried to the White House for
President Wilson's signature before
night, a series of delays developed to
hamper their progress.
Copies of the conference report were
late coming from the printers and the
parliamentary situation in both the
House and the Senate seemed to fav-
or delay. Democrats in both houses
were prepared, however, to ask for
speedy approval of the disputed points
agreed upon by House and Senate
conferees with the hope of getting the
bill out of the way in time for Presi-
dent Wilson to leave for his Christmas
vacation in Mississippi tomorrow.
1t was o clock before unanimous con-
sent was secured in the House to take
up the conference report. At that hour
the report had not been brought in. AS
the House must first dispose of it, its ap-
pearance in the Senate was not expected
before late in the day.
