REPUBLICANS NOT ACTIVE
THEY ANNOUNCE THEY WILL
HOLD NO CONFERENCE ON
THE MONEY ACT

Washington, Nov 2S.-Location Of
the regional reserve banks to be es-
tabl'shad BY the new currency bill he
came matter of pressing Importance
when the democratic conference re-
sumed work today. The insistence Of
Senator Hoke Smith and Senator
Bacon Of Georgia that the territory
tributary to Atlanta would not do
business with a regional bank at New
Orleans, may force the conference to
at least informally outline districts
and locations for the banks.
While the administration will pro
pose eight regional banks, the cons
ference may finally increase them
to ten. The bill that passed the house
provided 70.
Republican senators probably will
not take up the currency bill as a
party measure. Leaders said today
that they had no plans for a repub-
lican conference, and declared their
efforts to amend the bill would be
taken up on the floor without regard
to any agreement the democrats may
reach to unanimously support ts
Owen bili
Work dragged somewhat in the
conference today, and the leaders
said if the bill was not completed by
tomorrow night the senators probably
would work Sunday.
A guarantee of deposits, proposed
by Senator Williams, was referred to
the democrats Of the banking commit
tee, Some form Of guarantee is ex-
pected to result. The number Of
members Of the federal reserve board
was left to be taken up later
Senator Thomas of Colorado an

FLEMING SAYS THE
Fight WAS FAIR
EFFORTS OF SANTA FE ON LhS
VEGAS BEHALF WERE
APPRECIATED

George Al. Fleming, secretary Of the
Commercial club, this morning stated
that had it not been for the efforts
and stanch support Of the Santa re

would not have made the excellent
showing It did in its efforts to get
the 1914 teachers convention. Mr.
Fleming strongly commended the ef-
forts Of the Santa Fe people and gave
especial credit to John v. Conway
superintendent Of the Santa Fe coun
ty schools.
Up to the hour Of the election
which would decide the location Of
the next meeting of the educational
association the general opinion was
that Las Vegas would win, according
to Mr.. Fleming. Many counties evil
IDENTIFY were in favor Of this city for
the next meeting and agreed to work
for It. Their support was appreciated
The advertising value Of the cam
paign equals all the money spent and
the Commercial club is satisfied and
willing to try again. Secretary Flen-
ing did excellent work at the Duke
city in his effort to bring the conven-
ton here and has been strongly COM
mended for his efforts.

AN ELDER SCOUT WITH
THE BOYS OF OC4LA

Mr.H., F. Weahrle, of Charleston.
W. Va, representing the Hagerstown
Shoe and Leather Co., of Hagers-
town, Md, has been spending several
days in our city visiting the trade.
One of the best features of his visit
was when he came to the Board of
Trade to inquire about the boy
scouts, he belonging to the organiza-
ton. AS | had made my arrange
ments to go out on the Blitchton
road yesterday, it was impossible for
me to take him in hand. However.
| at once telephoned several of the
boys and had them around at the
Board of Trade rooms and from then
on until today there has not been an
idle minute, as the boys seem de-
lighted. The information he has
been giving them is the best, as his
experience for many years has given
him an insight into the best way ito
get hold of the boy, and it has been
delight TO watch the boys follow
him around and listen to every word
of advice given.
Yesterday Scout earn took him
and number of the boys out TO Sill
yer Springs where they had a nice
swim. He also has been shown their
grounds out in North Ocala and ex-
presses himself very clearly on the
way the boys are taking hold of the
scout movement here, and that we
have one of the best organizations he
has come in contact with in the state
and he hopes when he returns in
January to find them all first class
scouts and taking their rank among
the best. His Instructions have GER
tainly been beneficial, and | appre-
ciate the amount of time he has de-
voted to our boys. Come again, you
will always find a real scout welcome
awaiting you. j. D. Rooney, Sec'y.
