Illness of Mr.. McAdOO
Causes a Postponement
Until January 5.
COMMITTEE DECIDES
DIRECTORS CAN ACT
Stockholders Need Not Be Called
to Indorse Applications for
Membership.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Although the Sec
retary OF the Treasury is still suffering
from the grip and will be compelled TO
leave town for o few days to recuperate
the work OF organizing the federal re-
serve system made some progress To-Day
The Secretary's illness however. has
made il necessary 20 postpone the dates
for hearings in New York and Boston,
which will be held, according to the latest
plans, as follows: New York, January
o, 6, : and s. and Boston. January and 10
The other dates will stand as previously
announced.
The following New York banks have
already applied for membership under the
new system: Merchants National OF
Middletown, First National OF Summit
First National OF Northport, Huguenot
National OF New Psltz and RidSewood
National. of Ridgewood. New York City
The work connected with the orGaniZa-
ton of the new system is flooding the
Office of the Secretary with work, but no
effort will be made TO increase the cleri-
cal force pending the organization of the
Federal Reserve Board.
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston decld-
ed to-day that action by the directorate
OF any bank was sufficient 10 authorize
the application OF such bank for mem
bership I'm the new system, and that II
would not be necessary TO call meetings
OF The stockholders OF such banks
According 10 the word that reached
Washington. several cities would prefer
to have reserve banks loca ted in centres
like New York and Chicago. rather than
in their own smaller communities. Since
the capitalization OF the reserve banks
represents a percentage OF the capital and
surplus OF tie member banks. reserve
bank in New York or Chicago would have
vastly larger resources and loaning ability
than one located. for instance. in Mil
waukee or ST. Paul or Minneapolis. II
Boston were put in tho New York district
the capital OF the New York reserve
bank would be so much the greater. and
Boston might be able TO take care OF
New England through q branch OF the
New York reserve bank. This side OF
the question probably viii be put before
the organization committee in several
cities.

CLARKE IS VICTOR
 IN SENATE CAUCUS

Washington, March At the caucus of Senate Democrats the first open, break between the conservatives and progressives occurred when, by vote of P to II, Senator James P, Clarke of Arkansas was selected as the Democratic candidate for preSi- dent pro tenn. of the Senate over Augustus o. Bacon of Georgia. The caucus nomination is equiv alent to an election.
 Senator Clarke, considered as conservative Democrat, was put forward at the last moment by the so-called progressive ele- ment, which is supposed to rep resent the wishes of President Wilson. Senator Bacon is crush ed and humiliated at the action of his Democratic colleagues.
 So unexpectedly did the oppo- sition to Senator Bacon develop that the old-time Democrats are unable to say what consideration they are to receive in the com mittee chairmanships and other Senate honors. Senator Sim mons of North Carolina, hereto. fore conceded to be the next chairman of the important Fiji nance Committee to succeed Senator Penrose of Pennsylva- nia, is anything but sure of the honor and the fate that befell Senator Bacon may be in store for him.

YOU HAD BETTER
 BE VACCINATED

Up to date no one in Prescott has had the small pox who has been vaccinated. The family of Mrs. Neal, living on East Fourth Street now have two serious cases of small pox. The Neal children were stopped from school rather than be vaccinated. One of them had a light case and now two of them have severe cases. This did not become known to the Board of Health until this afternoon. Unless people comply with the reason able orders to be vaccinated, the small pox cannot be suppressed.
 The Board of Health also or dered that everybody who was in Mrs. Ellsworth's room while she was sick at the Hotel must remain in their residences for fourteen Q4) days or be immed- lately vaccinated or show a certi- ticate from some physician of re- cent successful vaccination.
 Unless the citizens will co.ope- rate with the Board of Health we are going to have a serious out break of small pox.

 Health Commissioner.

REGARDED STAMPS AS HEALING.

One of the teachers in the Provi- dence public schools has been very active in persuading her pupils to buy, and also sell, as many of the Red Cross stamps as they could, and to stimulate their interest she gave a talk on the stamps and their mis- sion. In conclusion she said: "The stamps are something we should all be ready to spend our pennies for, because they are made to prevent that dreadful disease, tuberculosis. '"
 The children were duly impressed and boy in a rear seat begged leave to speak.
 "Please, Miss Mitchell, where do you have to put the stamps to cure you?"

In debate Representative Heartsill, with his scathing de nunciation of those who opposed him, was a power His recent speech in which he whipped a salary bill for Sebastian county through the House was a ma ster. piece.

MONEY!.

Money during the week experienced
some changes in the trend OF rates that
were interesting in view. OF the fact that
at the beginning Of the week time money
began TO show a hardening tendency,
which continued until toward the end
when a relaxation followed, and the un-
dertone was distinctly easier at the close
The cause Of the appreciable hrmness in
time rates was attributed TO the with
drawals of gold from this market for
foreign account, and the possibility that
the supply Of funds would be weakened
at a later period when money would be
required for crop purposes. Call rates
displayed no important change and funds
were plentifully supplied. The opening
was at pa per cent; high. 2i9 per cent /;
renewals 2H per cent, and the closing ,
per cent.
The ostensibe offerings for periods
some Of which were characterized as for
foreign account. were responsible for the
improved tone in time money during the
latter part of the week The closing
rates were ( to Az Der cent for sixty
days. 20 5lI per cent for ninety days
5i3 to 5E per cent for four months. 50,
10 per cent for five months and per

some betterment. No special evidences

BANK EXCHANGES.

Bank exchanges this week at all leading
cities In the United States. as reported by
X. q. Dun & Co.. aggregate S26ji.SlS,03S. a
decrease Of 5.3 per cent from the &'SQS'-
Gj6. .6SJ Of the same week last year, but a
gain Of 04 per cent as compared with the
t2.6f4. 1914 reported for the corresponding
week in 1911. New York's total shows
falling off Of 10 per cent from year
ago. but this is not especially significant
in view Of the extreme quietness IN fnan-
cial and speculative circles, while the
small decrease Of 81 per cent, as con
trasted with 1911. under these circum-
stances may be considered fairly favor
able. The total OF the cities outside tho
leading centre shows gains OF 81 and 6.3
per cent. respectively. as compared with
the two preceding years. 10 which the
majority make more or less contribution.
Some contraction appears at several
points as contrasted with Cne or both

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Slightly Lower-COrn,
Oats and Coffee Advance.

There was not much range to wheat
values yesterday and the market was
quiet at an early decline until covering
movement caused rally in the late trad
ing which partly closed the gap, leaving
prices net lsaAc down for the day. Fears
of black rust have been dissipated, in
terror receipts continue to run into record
figures, but the ready buying of the cash
article steadieg the market materially.
Corn recovered an early decline on late
unfavoTable crop reports. and closed net
&c up oats also were easier at the
start. but Il continuation of poor thrash
ing returns upset the market and the re-
suit was a net gain Of l2g%.c.
The bull side Of the coffee market
pushed prices up to a maximum gain Of
2! to 20 points. with better foreign senti-
ment and pessimistic views Of the new
crop as foundation, but the bulge
caused some realizing which shaved off
part OF the advance, leaving the close net
10 to q points above Fridays finals.
