Although General Carranza an
nounced before leaving Nogacs that
he would repay a social debt here, it
was said today by members of his
party that possibly the prolonged stay
here was due to other reasons,
Carranza has been in close touch

From the south it was reported to-
day that General Ojeda's federals
again attempted sortie out of Quay

American soldier of fortune, in re-
cruiting Americans at Chicago, had no
connection with the constitutionalists
movement in Mexico. 1t was reiterat-
ed that neither General Carranza nor

attitude which has been a characteris-
tic of the present revolution III con-

was much improved when he reached
home. The physician was called. but
apparently there were no indications
that the patients condition was dan
gerous improvement continued un
til last evening when Mr.. Marble was
attacked with nausea He died al
7:3O o'clock a few moments after the
doctor arrived The news shocked
Washington officials, particularly Mr.

ONE PROSPEROUS
ANTITRUST
COMPANY FOUND

Chicago, H., Nov. 22,-One prosper
GUS Independent telephone company
was represented today by witness
for the government in the hearing
here in the governments antitrust
suit against the American Telephone
4 Telegraph company. Edwin d.
Schade, general manager of the Johns
town tPaD Telephone company, and n
vice president of the Independent
Telephone association, testified that
his company forced the Bell system
to the wall in his territory.
Mr. Schade said that he had urged
q few persons, including one of his
own directors to subscribe for Bell
service in order not to have the
trust" business reduced so far that
il would be driven out of the western
Pennsylvania field altogether.
The telephone rate between Johns
town and Pittsburgh is 40 cents for
three minutes" said Mr., Schade. Be.
tween McConnellsburg and Pitts
burgh, over which the Bell lines have
no competition, the rate, he said, is
sl.45 for three minutes. The distance,
he said was about 70 miles in each
case. Mr.. Shade complained of de
structive competition" by the Bell sys-
TEN, charging that the trust offered
free service on some local lines and
had reduced toll service to almost
nothing
He was cross examined by e. S.
Plllsbury, of San Francisco, represent
ing the Bell system.
Your company gets about S. a year
more from each subscriber than the
Bell does Your rates are higher than
Bell rates. You have TITS subscribers
where the Bell has only 2l0o in your
territory. You pay - per cent dlvl-
dent and have large sinking fund
first class equipment. In other words
you are in highly prosperous condl'
ton" said Mr.. Pillsbury,
I'VE are replied Mr. Schade.
"Then what do you complain Of"
I'VE object to unfair competition"
said Mr.. Schade. He said that his
company was operated more prollt'
ably than the American Telephone X
Telegraph company, because of the
complicated nature of the American
ccmpany's business which made its
operating expenses unduly heavy.
Mr.. Schade said that his company
was not in the market for merger or
sale to the American company.

ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES
IN ADMINISTRATION BILL

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-The
final legislative battle for President
Wilson's currency bill began in the
senate today with the presentation OF
reports from the divided banking COM
mittee. Submitting a report for the
administration Democrats, Chairman
Owen gave notice he would open de-
bate Monday. Their bill follows close
ly the lines of the house measure ana
contains only such amendments as
President Wilson was willing to ac-
cept. Senator Hitchcock, Democrat,
and the five Republicans, submitted a
draft materially changing the Dill ana
proposing four reserve banks owned
by the public and controlled by the
government.
The report submitted by Senator
Hitchcock declared many amendments
lit recommended had been endorsed IN
the entire committee before the ad-
ministration and anti-adminlstratlon
forces separated, and added that Its
signers were generally in favor OF a
eoyernment-owned central bank.
"Waiving strong preference whlch
prevailed in the committee in favor
of a single government bank with
branches" said the senator we ac'
cepted the regional bank plan as the
only hopeful outlook for action by TINS
congress, but retained the amendment
substituting four regional banks tor
twelve. While the single government
bank plan would produce the only per
feet mobilization of reserves, as has
been demonstrated by the experience
of other countries, the adoption OF
four regional banks under single con
troll will. it is thought. approximate
this result and, in country so large
as ours, with so many banks, probably
prove efficient

New York, N. Y. Nov, 22.-The
stock market closed irregular,
Bear selling of the speculative
stocks was in reduced volume today,
despite various adverse influences.
The discouraging tener of trade re-
views and hesitation of the London
market had little weight.
Changes for the better in monetary
conditions and the waning influence
Of Mexican affairs created percep-
tible better sentiment, but the bulls
showed no inclination to take on
stocks.
The short interest built up recently
gave stability to the market and
prices eventually stiffened slightly
The effect of this improvement, how
ever, was nullified by late selling OF
Union Pacific and Reading.
Bonds were easy.
