BANKERS TO ATTACK
new CURRENCY Bill
Contend Requirements Cannot
Be Compiled With.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-While President
Wilson intends to stick by the Glass
currency bill and believes it will pass
the house of representatives as pre-
sented by the banking and currency
committee, many of the more infiuen
tial delegates to the bankers confer
ence to be held in this city will unite
In an attack on the measure to en-
force radical amendments or its de
feat in the senate.
Some of them contend that the re
quirements of the bill as IL now
stands are such that national banks
cannot possibly comply with them
that the resources of the banks are
not sufficient to meet the capital and
reserve conditions imposed.
Members of the currency commits
sion of the American Bankers asso-
citation are drawing up reports, based
on the statements of the banks to the
comptroller, to prove the impossible
ity Of compliance with the more i'm
portant provisions of the bill.

FORTY PERSONS DEAD

Thlrty-three Passengers and

gers who sailed from Seattle on the
steamship State of California were
booked for juneau and Skagway and
presumably were on the ship when
she struck a rock and sank in Gam
bier bay, Alaska. Twenty-Five passen-
gers were taken on board at Prince
Rupert, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wran-
gell and other points, and these also
were on the boat at the time OF the
disaster, making a total of seventy
six passengers.
Forty-three passengers were res.
cued and taken to Juneau by the
steamship Jefferson, leaving thirty
three who probably have perished.
Seven of the crew are dead, making
the total dead forty.
These figures Of the number of pas
sengers are given by the Pacific Coast
Steamship company. They cannot be
verified by the purser, who lost all
his records. Ii is possible that some
OF the ffty-four passengers booked to
sail from Seattle changed their minds
at the last moment.

orator, who is among the lost, was the

LIND CONFERS
WITH HUERTA
American Envoy Is Cor

MEDIATION YET POSSIBLE
Reported Uitlmatum Demanding Rec
opnition OF the Provisional Govern
ment OF Mexico Officially Denied by
the Highest Authorities.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Face to face
in conference during the night ex-
Governor ohm Lind and President
Huerta are believed to have reached
an understanding which may yet pre-
vent the severance of relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
and serve to continue negotiations in
which Washington may play the role
of mediator.
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
cabled Secretary Bryan from Mexico
that President Huerta, through For
eign Minister Gamboa, emphatically
denied there was ANY foundation
whatever" for the statement that
Huerta has issued an ultimatum to
the United States demanding recogni-
tion with the alternative of handing
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy his passports.
A dispatch from John Lind informed
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an that he had been in conference
with Provisional President Huerta. He

Official Circles Stirred.
The dispatches attributing the an
nouncement of an ultimatum by Huer-
ia to Minister Urrutia of the depart
ment OF the interior stirred official
circles here deeply.
Secretary Bryan, an early riser, read
the morning newspapers and hurried
reassuring cable from Charge
OShaughnessy, and then hurried over
to the White House to confer with
President Wilson. While there the
message came from Mr.. Lind telling
of conference with Huerta.
Members of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, alarmed by the ap-
parent gravity of the situation, hur-
ried down to the White House to ask
for conference with President Will
son. There seemed to be a division
OF opinion among them as to whether
Minister Urrutia's announcement was
unauthorized. Some were strongly in
clined to accept the explanation as
given by Foreign Minister Gamboa.
Charge O'Shaughnessy's dispatch,
backed UP by Mr.. Lind's, served to
dispel the impression the first news
dispatches had created, and while the
situation is considered delicate one
there is hope of satisfactory conclu-
sion.

II Is generally understood that
while negotiations are still In progress

that publication OF President Wilson's
views as presented by Mr. Lind be

Coaticook, Que, Aug. 20.-Harry X
Thaw is under arrest here. He will
be arraigned at Sherbrooke as a
fugitive from justice in the United
States.
The final disposition of the prisoner,
however, rests with the Dominion
government.
Thaw was arrested at Hermene-

hour before he had driven across the
line from New Hampshire. He ad-
mitted his identity and complacently
declared that he could not be ex-
tradited as he had committed no
crime.

captors Seek Reward.
Though not knowing what they can
do with their prisoner his captors are
interested in the $500 reward which
has been offered for his apprehension
and they will hold him until his re-
lease is ordered or other disposition
made of him by the government.
Thaw freely admitted his identity,
but would not discuss his movements
since Sunday morning, except to say
that he took train least of Boston"
He said that he was making for the
coast and planned to sail for Europe.
He did not appear greatly disturbed
by his detention here, declaring that
as he had committed no crime he
could not be extradited.
In company with two men, one
heavily built and the other slight and
both smooth shaven, Thaw, according
to the police, came over the Maine
Central from some point south of
Colebrook, N. III. This branch of the
road extends to Portland, Me.
His movements that attracted at.

the local police by Sheriff Kelsea In

The man replied that he did not
know, but added, pointing to Kelsea,

at once from the pictures he had seen
of him.
He explained that they were In Coos

HUERTA MUST GO.

Predicts Downfall of "Usurper" Who
Cast Aside Even Pretense of LEGAL
Right and Declared Himself Dicta
tor"
There is but one cloud upon our hori-
Zon That has shown itself to the
south of us and hangs over Mexico
There can be no certain prospect of
peace in America until General Huerta
has surrendered his usurped authority
in Mexico. Until it is understood on
all hands, indeed. such pretended gov,
crnmcntS will not be countenanccd or
dealt with by the government of the
United States. We are the friends of
constitutional government in America
We are more than its friends: we are
its champions, because in no other
way can our neighborS to whom we
would wish in every way to make
proof of our friendship work out their
own development in peace and liberty.
Mexico has no government The ut
tempt to maintain one ut the City of
Mexico has broken down. and n mere
military dcSpotism has been set ND
which has hardly mare than the sem
blanre of national authority. 1t origi-
mated in the uSurpAtion of Nictoriano
lluerta, who after Il brief attempt to
play the part of constitutional presi-
dent, has at last cast aside even the
pretense of legal right and declared
himself dictator. As a consequence n
condition of affairs now exists in Mex.
leo which has made it doubtful wheth-
er even the most elementary and fund
amental rights either of her own peo-
pie or of the citizens of other coun-
tries resident within her territory can
long be successfully safeguarded and
which threatens if long continued to
imperil the interests of peace, order
and tolerable life in the lands immc-
diately to the south of us.
Even if the usurper had succeeded
in his purposes, in despite of the con
stitution of the republic and the rights
of its people. he would have set up
nothing but n precarious and hateful
power which could have lasted but Il
little while and whose eventual down
fall would have left the country in "A
more deplorable condition than ever.
But he has not succeeded. He has for
feited the respect and the moral sup
port even of those who were at one
time willing to see him succeed. Little
by little he has been completely isoIat-
ed BY a little every day his power
and prestige are crumbling. and the
collapse is not far away We shall
not. | believe, be obliged to alter our
policy of watchful waiting. And then.
when the end comes, we shall hope to
see constitutional order restored in dis
tressed Mexico by the concert and en-
ergy of such of her leaders as prefer
the liberty Of their people to their own
ambitions.
