planned that until some details were
changed he could not present it to the
house, He expects to introduce the
bill this week, however.
President Wilson freely discussed
the Glass currency bill with the

stand as firmly behind it as he does
behind the tariff bill The general
principles of the bill, Mr.. Wilson
considers clearly detensible, but he ex-
poets there will be amendments of
detail
Mr.. Wilson is inclined to believe the
bankers, themselves, eventually would
be glad to have direction by federal
reserve board of which they have no
control, but which would properly
safeguard their interests. The presi-
1ent made it clear that he had no fear

WALL STREET. i.

New York, June 23.-The Wall
Street point Of view underwent a
change over the week end and there
was no trace during the morning of
the acute weakness of Saturday. Be-
lief that the decline had been over
done led to heavy buying today and
the early rise in prices was we'll main
tanned through the morning. although
the trading became dull at the higher
level.
The Improvement was due partly
tc the belief that the bearish inter-
probation placed ON the interstate
commerce commissions ruling on Sat
urday was hardly justified in view of
the commissions decision to institute
an inquiry as to whether existing
freight rates were adequate.
Bear traders, disconnected by the
movement of American securi-
ties in London. following the severe
decline here which brought last weeks
trading to close and practically all
of Saturdays losses were made up be-
fore the morning session ended, the
rise being greatest in Union Pacific
which was the weakest feature OF
Some short selling was again evi'
dent. especially in Union Pacific,
which cost it half of its early rise
Bears were inclined to strengthen
heir commitments in their Hartman
shares owing to the uncertainty as to
what form the dissolution would ulti-
nately take.

The market closed steady. Special
weakness in certain stocks drew at
tention to the continuation of inter
mittent liquidation. Baltimore and
Ohio lost l IA and Virginia Chemical
points. Metal stocks did not resist
the late pressure, Steel and Amalgam-
ated losing all but fraction of the
lays rise. Buying orders made their
appearance just before the close and

short interest showing some inclina- F!
ion to run to cover.

DURANGO REPORTED
TO HAVE FALLEN

Douglas, Ariz,, June 23.-Reports
that General Pedro Ojeda, the feder
al commander in Sonora. had sur
rendered after a four days battle at
Ortiz, were denied today by the con-
stitutional junta in Douglas, Official
messages from Hermosillo said the
battle was resumed today.
Junta members asserted however,
that Ojeda was surrounded and cut
off his base of supplies. General Pc
dro Ojeda, the federal commander
who fought a three days battle in and
around Ortiz, Mexico, with the at
tacking state troops under Obregon,
was reported to have surrendered.
The constitutional junta here was un-
able to confirm the report.
Advices received by the junta and
from private sources at Nogales last
night stated that Ojeda had been sur
rounded and, handicapped by the
greater strength of his enemy and
steady loss by desertions, would be
forced to surrender. This gave color
to the report today, which received
credence not only among sympathiz-
ers with the Sonora insurgents but
also among observers on the Ameri-
can side of the line.
The enmity between Ojeda and the
commander ObregOn
has not been merely that of opposing
soldiers. Personal feeling caused
Obregon to announce some time ago
that when he had whipped Ojeda, who
beat him several times at Aqua Prieta
he would have the federal
general shot.
