WILSON OPPOSES
SINGLE BANK PLAN
HEARING OF TIE COMMITTEE ON
CURRENCY REFORM WILL
CONCLUDE SOON.
TRYING TO FORMULATE PLAN
President Reiterates That the Owen
Glass Bill rs Suited 20 the Needs
of the Country.

Washington there shall
be one Federal reserve bank with
branches throughout the United States,
or several banks, as provided Tor IN
the administration bill, promises TO
be the chief issue of the final curren-
cy reform fight in the senate commit
tee. The hearings OF the committee
will conclude and the committee mem
beers will begin the arduous task on at
tempting to agree upon a revision or
the Glass bill that will prove accepta-
BILE to President Wilson and the house.
The president made it known in en-
phatic terms that he was opposed TO
the central bank plan. as suggested
by Frank A. Nanderlip of the National
city Bank, of New York, and as indors-
ed informally by many members Of the
senate committee. He reiterated
through Secretary Tumulty that the
Glass-Owen BILL with its system OF
70 regional reserve banks related only
through the functions of one Federal
reserve board sitting at Washington
was admirably suited to the needs
Of the country.
While members Of the senate com
mittee, including several Democrats
we're drawing out witnesses in further
support of the single bank idea, Presl-
dent Wilson talked at length with 9TH
er senators, outlining his desire mat
the Glass bill be left unchanged IN
this particular.
1t was apparent that the course OF
several members of the committee,
probably, will be determined finally
by the attitude taken by President
Wilson and other party leaders as to
the expediency of the single bank plan.
Senators O'Gorman, Hitchcock ana
Reed Democrats, all favor the idea
of a single Federal reserve bank as
opposed to many separate ones, but II
is believed that their advocacy OF the
plan may be abandoned in committee
if the Democratic leaders insist that
such a measure could not be passed
through the house.

MEXICAN ELECTION A FARO E
In Mexico city Not 10000 People Went
to the Polls.

Mexico City.-At the close OF the
elections the indications were that not
sufficient votes had been cast i'll Mex
leo TO constitute a legal choice for the
presidency to succeed Gen. Victoriano
Huerta.
No official announcement was made,
but it was unofficially estimated, judg-
ing from the results in the capital,
where it was expected the vote would
be I'D to the average that less than
10000 of the $4,000 eligible voters IN
the Federal district went to the polls.
There are said TO be more than 5000
600 eligible voters in the republic.
1t would be no surprise if congress,
the members of which also were voted
for, declared the elections and when
that body is organized and reTises
the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
of votes polled for their candidates,
FREDERICK Gamboa and General Ras-
con.
If this claim is correct, it is gener-
ally thought that Gen Felix Diaz and
Senior Requena ran second. The Lib
eral candidates, Manuel Calero and
Flores Magnon, had not printed tick
cts at the polling places, their con-
stituents being obliged to write their
names on blank ballots. t.
A decree will be issued by General
Huerta increasing the army from So
900 men, its alleged present number,
to 10000 General Huerta proposed
such an increase some time ago, but
the congress, which he dissolved, lin
| tied him to $4,000.

Huerta pefied General Diaz.

Vera Cruz.-General Felix Diaz, in
defiance of the intimation from the
government that he proceed to ram
pico aboard the steamer Corcovado
and there disembark, has decided to
remain at Vera Cruz. He is unWlil-
ing to admit he is not free to come
and go and talks of trip to the cap
ital According to reports current
here, he is likely to return to havana
aboard a Mexican warship and unless
the orders from the capital are alter
ed he will be left no choice. General
Diaz was to have been notified on
the high seas of the government
wishes, but the captain of the gun
boat Zaragoza, who put to sea III the
night. with Colonel Vidaurrazaga, sec
rotary to the minister of war, to whom
the mission had been entrusted, lost
his course. A new captain Tor ths
Zaragoza was named.

important capture, For more than u

Cox, a negro, was selling liquor in e.

on the mercy of the court.
