 "T wish also to state and I hope that with your accustomed impartial ity in these matters, you will make it known to your honorable secretary of state that our conduct cannot be compared to that of the Huertaistas, for it is well known that the families of our followers are transported by the Huertaistas from one place to an- other in rains carrying soldiers and munitions of war, hoping thus to avoid attacks by our forces.

The amendments endorsed by the
 House were those providing that six
 months commercial paper shall be eligible for rediscount at the federal banks instead of three months pa per only, as originally provided in
 the House bill and giving national banks the right to make loans on five year farm mortgages up to one-third of their time deposits.
 The Senate amendment providing for establishment of a depositors' in- | surance fund was mentioned during the public debate, but it was not in- cluded in the instructions. The House confeTees held a session before meeting the Senate committee and decided 10 make a fight against the provision Strong support for she amendment on the floor of the Senate was evidenced during consideration of the bill and further fight was pre- dicted if the conference report elIm. mated the provision. 1 The House conferees were prepared also to make a vigorous fight against several of the reserve requirements changed by the Senate. On this point Representative Glass was particular ly emphatic during the debate in -he House.
 The bank reserve requirements of the Senate bill" he said, would re. suit in calamity. Under the Senate amendments. the total reserves of the banks in cash and credit with The reserve banks would be less than the banks at present hold in cash in their bank vaults. Within a few months we would have a saturnalia of expan- sion, of wild imitation"
 The reading of the bill was begun by the Democratic members of the conference committee immediate<v after they met Within an hour se- rious points of difference developed The House members announced their intention of insisting that the sec retary of agriculture and the comp
 troller of currency be retained as members of the committee 70 organ Nze the new system and as members of the federal reserve board. The Senate amendment removed them from both.
 On the number of regional banks the House members agreed to accept the Senate provision that not le.S
 than eigh. be created. but insisted
 that the provision be eliminated fix ing the maximum number at twelve They also announced that they would insis+ on the House provision that the capital stock of each regional bank
 be fixed at , per cent of he capital of the national banks in it's district
 instead Of at 6 per cent of the capital and surplus of the banks, as provid. ed in the Senate bill.

 mere have been many compromises between the Department of Justice and combinations brought to court as offenders under the Sherman act. but .it was an opinion quite generally shared that other big corporations are apt to follow in the footsteps Of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, Among those who already have sought to settle their involved affairs out of court is the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, and that case pre- sents difficulties far greater than pre- sented by the Bell Telephone.
 The departments attitude toward the American Telephone Company is not to be taken. ii is asserted, as an indication that it does not intend in the future to make use of suits in court nor that it does not expect to call into play the criminal features of that statute in cases of conspiracy in restraint of trade, where the real offenders can be reached There has been no final determination, it is pointed out, to prosecute New Haven directors, even after settlement of the reorganization of that road is agreed to.

Postal and Telegraph Workers Claim a Share Of Large Government Profits

LEICESTER, Eng. Dec. 6.-The threatened strike on Christmas of the governments 100000 postal and tele- graph employees will probably hs averted, but the movement is post. poned only as the result today oi d conference in which 200 delegates representing 22.0O0 members of the postal organization, participated
 The delegates adopted a resolution rejecting the report of the govern ment commission. At the same tin e they pledged themselves to push the original demand for a 15 per cent in- crease in wages throughout the ser vice. The meeting finally decided to leave the strike decision to a general vote of the members cf the organiza- ton.
 Proposal that the postal orsaniza- tions should be united with the min CTS and railway men and the trans port workers met with much favor among the delegates. The conference decided to oppose the government candidates at sII parliamentary cleo. tions until the demands Of the postal employees are met.
 The postal employees base their de mands for increase in pay largely on the argument that the postal service yields to the government great pro fits. in which the workers should have q share.

REPORTS IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Mexican interest in Washington today cen tered in the military operations. Con fidential reports received indicate that the victorious march southward of the rebels has received check, the extent Of which is not yet ho"n. That the rebel leaders themselves have taken alarm and are preparing to modify their plans to meet the threatening aspect Of the Fedora forces is positively affirmed.
 Owing to the absence of teiegraphIe commuu.ca cations. there is reluctance here to divulge any of the movements of the contending armies in Mexico which by any chance might aid one or the other. Therefore it is net possible to ascertain all that passes in this latest military development
 It is understood that the federais leaders in the north. who after theaf supposed defeat in the battle of Ter ra Blanca were believed to be hasten ing to find refuge in Texas, are re- organizing their forces anu hla Aih , a fanking movement on Villa, "h' rushed from Juarez to Chihuahua.

NEEDLE POISONING
 MYSTERY IS MAKING

! ederal Authorities May Take Hand. White Slavery Op- erations Being Suspected

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 6.--Federal as well as state authorities are likely to take hand in the investigation. of the poison needle mystery growing out of the experiences of Mrs. Ma Jorie Graf in moving picture theater two days ago.
 So far, only one arrest has been made, that of a young South Ameri- can, Armand Megaro. who is held in s2G.O00 bail on an assault charge made by Mrs. Graf.
 After the man seated himself near her in box. he jabbed a needle into her arm. She was siezed with dFowsiness The cases of live young women have been reported as victims of experiences similar to that Of Mrs. Gran. These are being inyesti- gated by the police of this city.

Lynch said tc- day that the government authorities would act if they were shown that a needle gang is operating between this city and Nek York.

JUAREZ, Dec. c.-The feeling spread today amcng rebel leaders that the Huerta government is pre- pairing some sinister surprises in con nection with the projected march of General Villas army toward the City of Mexico.
 Belief is now expressed that the federals had an object in evacuating Chihuahua and other isolated federal garrisons, where it was impossible for them to do much more than de fend themselves, and that their pur- pose in abandoning their posts was to permit of a more energetic and concerted defense in the central and southern states, where forts are more numerous and communication between them easy.
 General villas intention to aug ment his present army 27,G00 by scattered bands about TOrreon and Zacalecas and mass 20.O00 rebels for the march on Mexico City, would place the rebels in a position new to them. Hitherto they have been scat tered. while the strength of the fed erals has been divided by their hay ing garrisons in the northern cities As they gain territory the positions of the rebels ana federals are re- versed, the rebels having to protect the territory they win, while the fed erals are at liberty for aggressive fighting.
 
 1t is this condition which has le'l Villa to consider whether the govern ment in Mexico City is not planning a campaign of considerable extent and whether his comparatively un- disciplined rebel forces might not have to contend with greater num- bers and far superior fighting ability. Noon tomorrow is the time fixed by Villa for his entry to Chihuahua.
 The Villa rebels today heard the rsIS-rt that Huerta would welcome large bodies of revolutiOnists in the southern part of the republic. Hu- erta sent them word that if he could only get his opponents from the bor- der and concentrated at some inter for point he would nov them down like ten-pins with his machine guns, operated by trained troops. who. ne says. would be pitted against them in greatly superior. numbers.

EscUoERo IS REMOVED
Carranzs Declines to Give Reason Communication Opened
 With Inetrior

HERMOSILLO. Dec. 6.-Francisco Escudero, Carranza's secretary of TOT. eign relations, has been retired from that portfolio This was announced here tonight
 Escudero has been considered one Of the abfest advisers of the rebel leader. Neither Carranza nor mem hers of his diplomatic family would comment on Eseudero's retirement. The impression prevails. however, that the change is due to a personal matter which arose while Escu5ero was recently in Fl Paso. where he went to arrange for customs business on the Chihuahua border
 It is considered likely he vii be succeeded by Manuel BonillO, who served in President Madero's cabinet as minsster of communications. Bonii' 10 arrived here yesterday to cffer his services to the retel government However, his arrival here and the re tirement of Escudero while at Fl Paso were purely circumstantial.

Most 1 likely Half of Mine s Workings Searched-Oh- cers and Citizens Quarrel

BINGHAM, Dec. 5.-Search of over half of the labyrinth of the Utah Apex mine for Ralph Lopez, Mexican gunman, was completed tonight without result.
 The probability that the slayer of six men has escaped, grew as the deputies appeared at the various tun- nel mouths with announcements that there were no sign of the des- perado. dead or alive. Tonight the search is continuing III all tho parts of the mine not yet explored.
 A dispute between posse of Bingham citizens and the sheriifs arose today It brought the search to a standstill fer time. Sherin Aljets. of Tooele county. accused Dr. F. E.. Straap, mayor elect of Bingham. and others composing a searching party of having pooled in a bet of q ,000 that Lopez could not be found in the mine. As a result the. BiEg- ham men, who are most familiar with the mine. refused to re-enter until late today. when the disagreement was adjusted.
 Removal of the caved dirt in an upper working showed that Lopez had not taken refuge in the stcpe be. hind it. nor been through the workings More than 200 miners who were thrown out of work when the mine was filled with gases. returned to work today
