Wisconsin, was killed today, riding

CURRENCY BILL
MEETS OBSTACLES
May Go Over Until Next
Session of Congress if the
Committee Controls.
RESOLUTION IS UP
Will BE Reported December > and
Made Unfinished Business
Idea is Favored.

Washington, Sept 4.-The attitude
of the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency today indicated plainly
that if it controls the situation the
administration currency bill will not
be passed at this session of Con-
gress.
In the Senate, Mr. Weeks. of Mas
sachusetts, Republican member of
the committee, today offered reso-
luton directing the committee to re-
port the pending bill it's recommen-
dations on December 2, and declaring
further that 1t was the sense of the
Senate that Immediately upon the
receipt of this report the Senate
should proceed at once with the con-
sideration of the bill, making it the
unfinished business The adoption OF
this resolution would postpone con-
sderation until the next session of
Congress.
If voted upon in the Senate this
resolution would be rejected 1t
probably will not receive the approx
al of the committee in terms, but
it will be approved in action. Being
of Republican origin Senators O'Gor-
man, Reed and Hitchcock would not
vote for it, but each of these senator's
is known to be favorable to extend
hearing on the pending bill. Sena-
tors o'Gorman and H'%cock be-
lieve it will take praoe~ w. %y5
months to take testimony and frame
a bill that can pass. That in effect
will postpone action until the next
session of Congress.
The House Banking and currency
Committee, by majority Democratic
vote, reported favorably today the
Glass-Owen Currency Bill. 1t will be
brought up in the House for con-
sideration by that body next Monday.
Leader Underwood estimates that
in ton days the bill can be passed
through the House.
Ragsdale, Democrat bolted the
committee meeting after the defeat
of his agricultural amendment. He
is expected to vote against the Bill
on it's baggage by the House.
The Ragsdale amendment provided
for extension of maturity from ninety
to one hundred and twenty days Of
rediscount agricultural paper. Rags
dale contended that in the South,
paper based on cotton securities, had
to run for several months to be of
help to the cotton planters.

Matteawan Fugitive Will Be
Across the Vermont Line
This Morning.
GIVEN ALTERNATIVES
Mother Expected to Join Her Son at

ment.

Coaticook, Que, Sept 4.-Harry X
fThaW tonight made final effort to
keep out Of Matteawan Asylum. With
his lawyers defeated at every turn
and the court OF inquiry, conducted by
the immigration officials overturning
his contentious, he sent a statement
to a New York newspaper that he had
no intention of making public the
names of the men who were referred
to merely as "Mr. - at his trial
for the murder of Stanford White.
Thaw intimated in this statement
that this clique of men was respon-
sible for his pursuit" and named De-
lancey Nicoll as their attorney.
The statement follows: Being in
formed that one motive behind this
illegal pursuit is a suspicion in a
small but influential quarter that if
put on trial in any court outside of
New York state we might uncover
those names that were protected in
1907 we are forced to state that we
have no intention of uncovering those
names that were left in blank. At the
same time we must recall that Judge
Olcott testified last summer that De-
lancey Nicoll in 1906 represented the
associates of the late Mr.. Stanford
White and desired that publicity about
his client might be avoided In this
connection we wish all our friends to
know that we have been told that the
present pursuit is assisted by that
same able lawyer"
In this statement, ThaW signed his
own name and that of his mother,
Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw. Mrs. Thaw
had been expected here tonight and
when the contents of the statement be-
had arrived and gotten into commune
cation with her son. At a late hour
however, it was impossible to locate
Mrs. Thaw here.
ThaW's fight to escape deportation
has apparently been lost The coali-
ton of the INN gration officials with
the provincial authorities at Quebec
made evident today at the first ses-
sion of the board of inquiry has caus-
ed the noted prisoners house of hope
to completely collapse.
I'VE have made a good fight and we
have lost" said w. l.. Shurtleff,
Thaws counsel of record, tonight ut
looks as though Thaw will be over the
border tomorrow morning"
Others of counsel for Thaw, were
equally pessimistic. They both said
there is absolutely no hope of staving
off deportation for much more than
twenty-four hours.
The only man who seems confident
OF victory before the board of inquiry
is Thaw himself. Today he spent al
most six hours on the stand and sub
mitted to searching cross examination
INTO every phase of his life from boy
hood. At the conclusion of the ses-
sion he was cool and smiling.

DOUBLE WEDDING
HERE LAST NIGHT
Miss Vera Bush and p. G. McLendOn
and Miss FOntaine Cook and
Mark Rice Wed.

A double wedding occurred at the
home of Mrs. Cook, No. 81 Georgia
street yesterday, when Rev. ]. w. Har-
rell, pastor of the First Methodist
church, said the ceremony that united
Miss Vera Bush and P. c. McLendOn,
of Gould, and Miss Fontaine Cook, OF
this city and Mark Rice, of McGehee.
That Dan Cupid has been playing
pranks is evident by the reluctance Of
the first named parties, Miss Bush
and Mr.. McLendon, to give out any
information about their wedding. A

PRESIDENT firm
AS To HUERTA
Wilson Will Not Recognize
Him If He Resigns and
is Re- Elected.
HALE is RECEIVED
Has Been in Mexico for Months Gath
ering Data For President vii.
son on Situation.

Washington Sept. 4.-President
Wilson will not recognize Victorina
Huerta as president of Mexico if he
resignes his office, presents himself
as candidate before the Mexican
people at the election called for
October 26, and is declared the win
aer by the suffrage Of his people
Such a resignation and candidacy
would be regardede by the United
States as subterfuge. The only
way that any administration in Mexi-
CO can gain recognition from the
United States, is for it to have a
head other than Huerta at fair and
free election.
1t Huerta insists on accepting Of
flee again the situation will remain
at the same impasse that has existed
ever since negotiations between the
Mexican government and John Lind
were broken off.
The administration today. however,
through its highest authorities sud-
denly developed a disposition to put
full faith in the Gamboa note, where
in the Mexican foreign minister
said that under the constitution
Huerta could not be a candidate fol
election as president.
This feeling is based only upon
assurances to this government
from Envoy Lind and Charge DAT
fairs O'Shaughaessy, which are their
impressions of recent talks Mr.. o.
Shaughnessy has had with Senior
GambOa
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan gave audience today to
DR.. William Bayard Hale, who has
been gathering exact information and
drawing valuable opinions on the de-
velopments in Mexico for the past
four months to be conveyed personal
ly by him to the President
President Wilson had long and
earnest talk with Mr.. Hale. The
President would not divulge what DR..
Hale had said, except in the most
general terms and to his friends
described rather the scope of Dr.
Hale's mission than any specific IN,
formation he had given him today.
A close friend of President Wilson
said today that the time had UNI
doubtedly arrived and that the con-
ditions demanded a sharp and vital
change in the Administrations policy
with reference to Mexico. Nothing
but such a radical change can pro-
duce satisfactory results, said this
friend of the President There is no
question, he said, that the present
impasse has been brought about by
an application of the views of secre
tary of State Bryan to the situation
rather than the views of the Pre-
sident himself.
What is now to be desired and to
to be hoped" he concluded, is that
the President will put into execution
his own personal plans after the
mature consideration he has given it
in all his reports, including those
from DR.. Hale, and take the matter
from the State Department to the
White House; in other words to
assume charge of the diplomacy with
reference to Mexico and Virtually
and actually take it out of the hands
of Secretary of State Bryan"
