Wilson Anxious for Action
on Currency Bill.
INSURGENTS WILL LOSE
Administration Confident That Its
Supporters in the Senate Would
Outvote Opponents Five to One
Should Plan Be Carried Out.

Washington, Nov. 7.-An open
break between the president and sena-
tors who are opposing his currency
plan is regarded as almost certain.
Following conferences between GER
tain senators who have had the con-
fidence of the administration comes
the statement that the president has
refused to approve the radical changes
in the proposed law by the combina-
tion of radicals and Democrats now
in control of the senate banking COM
mittee.
If necessary, the last weapon avail
able, party caucus, will be resorted
to by the president.
The president is reported to be con-
siderably troubled over the apparent
open opposition of certain of the
Democratic senators to his plan. He
has tried to induce these senators to
stand by the original Owen-Glass bill,
but has failed.
1t is generally reported that eau.
Gus of the Democrats would be called
to force the bill through the senate.
Senator Simmons admitted this was
being considered
Simmons viii Lead Fight.
The fight in caucus will be led by
Senator Simmons. 1t is confidently
predicted that the "insurgent" ele-
ment in the party would be voted
down to /.
Under provisions adopted into the
currency bill by the senate banking
committee, s100,000,000 worth of re.
gional reserve bank stock, bearing
either 5 or per cent interest, will
be offered the public and the banks
themselves will be under absolute
government control.
The stock will be offered the public
for sixty days, at the end of which
time the unsubscribed balance must
be subscribed by the banks.
Despite a bitter fight by Senator
O'Gorman the amendment removing
regional banks from control of mem
ber banks was adopted by the com
mittee, to 5, only two Democrats
Reed OF Missouri and Hitchcock OF Ne
braska, voting for it. Under its terms
| the federal reserve board will appoin
six of the nine regional bank direc
| tors, instead of only four.

Strike Rioting.
MARTIAL LAW WILL RULE

of Trouble State Executive viii Or,
der Military Authorities to Assume
Control of City.
indianapolis, Nov. 7.-The entire
Indiana state militia has been ordered
out by Governor Ralston on account
of the street car strike here. The
governor also announced he would de-
clare martial law.
The governor said he regretted that
the troops had to be called out, but
that the situation is critical and he
would not delay longer.
Men are being assaulted and kill
ed" said Governor Ralston. Property
is being destroyed and there is riot
ing in the streets, which the city au.
thorities have not controlled, and
feel it is my duty to take this drastic
action"
The governor was up all night with
Brigadier General William j. Mckee
and other officers of the national
guard perfecting arrangements fol-
getting the outside companies to In
dianapolis and their disposition there
The governor said it had not been de.
termined whether the troops would
be placed on the street cars.
Numbers About 1000 Men.
The Indiana national guard mum
hers about 1900 soldiers, including
three battery companies, and all OF
these are expected to be in the city
in few hours.
The governors decision was reached
after a conference with city officials
representatives of clubs and organiza
tions had failed to reach any agree
ment on a peaceable means of set
Ting the strike
The rioting in the streets when the
street car company tried to run a car
which was deserted by the strike
breakers, gave the governor addition
al reason for his action.
After the large committee of citi
zens urged Governor Ralston to cal
out the militia preparations were
made to bring the troops here as
quickly as possible.
The governor said that the -four
companies of infantry and the battery
in Indianapolis would not be called
out until other companies had arrived
so that there would be no question
about controlling the situation after
troops were once on the streets.
