little group Of lobbyists and also-rans
on the outside Of the door to the finance
committee while the democratic con-
ferees were at work hammering together
the TOO patched places where Senate
and House had disagreed on the tariff.
And 1t was this one-eyed Ben Franklin
which was reported duly to the House
by Representative Murdoch. the single
progressive member OF the conference
committee Of the House. The veteran
Victor had to make a report TO the
Speaker. he thought, about what he said
was this one-eyed Franklin which claim
ed his attention most of all.
This Is What He Told.
Why. Because the democrats wouldn't
let him In. Listen to what he told
Speaker Clark and tho House:

Then Mr. Murdoch went on to describe
the other things he saw.
1.-The suave Albanian, Mr.. Underwood,

be no opportunity for any one claiming
that the American government has not
acted with absolute fairness In the Mexi-
can crisis. It ID generally believed that
the administration IL preparing to recog-
niZe a Mexican government chosen In the
October elections, II they are held. and
for this reason it Is declared that prior
to the elections the administration must
be impartial.
Word received here today from Mex
leo City made it increasingly evident
that determined effort is to be made by
members Of the chamber Of deputies to
postpone the elections. A special COM
rnittee has been named to Investigate the
subject and report by October 10.
States Not to Secede.
Constitutionalist representatives here
today emphatically denied reports that
the northern states of Mexico, which are
almost entirely controlled by them, are
about to secede and form q separate ma
ton. with Gen. Carranza as president
Senior Romero, chief constitutionalist
in Washington at present,
declared that this Is absolutely false.
Gen. Obregon has been named by Gen.
Carranza as commander-in-chief of the
forces in the northern
part OF Sonora. according to word re-
ceived here today. He is to concentrate
his strength against GuaymaS. an I'M
portant seacoast city. in an effort to
capture 1t from the federals.

Senator BuIkeIy's Statement
Is Corrob0rated by Expert

Commenting on q speech recently deliv-
cred In the Senate by Senator Bulkely re-
garding the importance to American busi-
ness interests Of the provision In the cur
rency bill for American branch banks in
expert today said:
resents one Of the largest manufacturing
and exporting districts in the United
States. Over fifty firms In hts district are
exporting to South America alone. I
choose South America because there are
no American banks there whatever. That
means that every American firm must
pay tribute to q bank belonging to Its
trade rivals. II II wishes to do business
with South America
eigners to do business for US. This money
could perfectly well 80 to Americana. In
England the same man can be director In
q bank which has branches In South
America. an exporter OF goods thereto,
and the director in q steamship company
going to South America That is real
team play.
mo American can do that now, but
when tho currency bill il passed he can
do two-thirds az well a. the Englishman
have made over $50. O00. 600 out Of United
States citisens In Argentina alone since
1883, when the nrst English banks were
opened there.
"The growth Of German banking il
South America should be q lesson to US
opened In South America. Germany had
less than One-sixth OF the trade with
South America that we have today. II
boldly invaded the field and has slowly
and surely built up a large chain OF
banks all over the continent.
Take Peru. for instance In Lima. the
capital, there Is a large and imposing
German bank building. There Is $50. 600.
GOO worth OF American capital invested

can bank there. and 1t Is perfectly well
known. as Senator Bulkely says, that the
European banks make a practice OF copy.

Gently sent its vice president. Francis
Abbott Goodhue, on a trip to Brazil, Ar

expenses which would have to be met and
OF the grueling competition which they
will encounter from the foreign banks
already established there.
He points out that the 20 Der cent div
idends which are now being paid by va
rious English and German banks In South
America are not wholly paid from the
pI ofits OF the current year, but that their
enormous surpluses and assets from past
years can be freely drawn on when 1t
comes to paying dividends. Besides. tenn

IN DENIAL
Of CAPITAL CHARGES
Chesapeake & Ohio Defends
Rates as Not Being
Unjust.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company today filed with the interstate
commerce commission denial Of the
charges contained in the long complaint
filed several weeks ago by o. J. DeMoll
an dothers Of this city, and containing a
general attack upon all rates, both in and
out of Washington to and from points
north and south. Several roads were
named in the complaint. but the Chss-
apeake and Ohio Is the only one 20 far
which has filed its reply.
This road declared that 1t does not
participate in any way in traffic to and
from Washington and eastern territory,
and denies that the rates in question con-
stitute undue advantage to other cities
over Washington. 1t declares that the
rates from Washington in which it par
ticipates are not unjust, unreasonable or
in violation Of law. and denies that during
the past two years it participated in
or unreasonably prejudicial or disad-
:vantageous. The respondent asks that
the complaint be dismissed.
Holding Conferences.
Counsel for the Chamber Of Commerce
and Retail Merchants Association are
holding a series Of conferences to deter
mine just what their future course In the
Washington rate fight shall be. All Of
the attorneys are reticent concerning the
proceedings OF these meetings. but de-
clare that they will make an announce
ment within q few days. One Of the
conferences was held yesterday afternoon
and another one began at II o'clock to-
day.
Just what the attorneys are proposing to
do is not known. but it was intimated this
morning that 1t is proposed to have all
of those interested in the coming rate
fight hold big meeting where there would
be extended discussion Of the matter. OF
course. 1t is known that the matter OF
funds is facing the merchant bodies as
outlined at the meeting of the Retail
Merchants Association several nights
ago. 1t is probable that there will be
a big meeting in the near future of the
various trade bodies where the discussions
will develop just how much support can
be expected in a movement to wage a
rate war which would be far-reaching in
its effect.
