Bankers Oppose
 Currency BiII
 Offer Suggestions
Especial to The RcpubIican)

Especial to The Republican, WASHINGTON, August 30--The bankers of the United States are put ting up strenuous opposition to the Glass Owen currency bill. now pend ing in congress. They have pointed out many features of the present bill which they claim are weak.
 Perhaps their foremost objection is to that clause of the bill which pro vldes for twelve reserve banks. They favor rather only one reserve bank but realizing the impossibility of get ting congress to see their point of view, they are asking that the num- Der be not greater than five.
 They object further to the amount Of stock which banks should sub scribe to the reserve institutions. The bill provides 20 per cent of the unim- paired capital; the bankers favor re- ducinS that number to 10 Here are the demands of the bankers for al- terations in the bill:
 One central reserve bank preferred but not more than five in any event
 Optional not compulsory, subscrip- tion of stock in reserve banks by na- tionaI and state banks and trust companies, to the extent of 10 (not 20) per cent of it's unimpaired capital Federal reserve board deprived of power to remove directors of reserve banks if il decided they do not repre- sent the interests of respective dis tricts.
 Federal reserve agent not to be chairman of reserve bank directorates. Subscribing banks that increase their capital shall purchase addition al stock in district reserve bank equal to 10 not 20) per cent of it's increased capitalization.

|S FOR MEDICAL INSPECTION IN
 CITY SCHOOLS
pr. Ira $. Vile Says Stu pervision is Not Only for Detection of Contagious Disease But for It's Pre- Nnntinn as Well
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 BUFFALO, August 30.-Dr. Ira $. Vile, a member of the New York city board of education, today read his second paper before the Fourth International Congress on School Fly sene. His subject was medical in spection of schools as a community investment, and he spoke in part as fellows:
 "Originaly medical inspection was instituted to detect contagious dis eases in order to eliminate their spread by school children. Later the belief arose that retardation and de- ficiencies in studies were due to physical defects. particularly those of the sense organs. This caused an expansion of medical inspection to medical examination. Today medical inspection virtually includes the dis covery of contagious diseases and the determination of physical defects which interfere with the ability to perform school work or the detection of physical abnOrmalities which if neglected will affect the future eff ficiency of the children.
 Medical inspection extends in two directions: CD The inspection of the environment, that is the site, the school buildings, and the various fac tors of health therein contained; CD the child-With all it's defects and diseases. The medical inspector should consider problems of hygiene, such as light, ventilation, heating, toi- let facilities, etc, but primarily he must solve educational questions, such as the establishment of time schedules, the arrangement of re- cesses, the grouping and specializa tion of classes Broadly Speaking, the work of medical inspection covers two general fields of endeavor: the preventive and the remedial. With the existent physical defects, correc- ton is the aim of the medical in spector. The more valuable field of effort is in the realm of prophylaxis. It is within his power to obviate fur ther defects, deformities and diseases during the period of school life so

Representative of President Remains in Vera Cruz and May Soon Go Back to Mexico City if Conditions Warrant
WILSON AND
 BRYAN ABSENT
Every Indication Seems So Favorable That Ameri- cans Are Disregarding Advice to Leave Mexico at the Present Time
rAssocrATED PRESS D1sPArcH1


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. - With President Wilson at the summer capitol in Cornish, N. H., Secretary of State Bryan lecturing in Pennsylvania and Maryland. and Secretary to the Presi- dent Tumulty spending the week. end in New Jersey, the waiting policy of the administration in the Mexican sit uation became more emphasized Be fore Bryan and TumuIty left Washing ton early today, messages were received from John Lind, at Vera Cruz, which added assurances to the already con- fident attitude of the administration. Secretary Bryan asserted nothing had been received to cause any discourage ment. Lind, it is authoritatively stated, had a thought of returning to the Uni- ted States at this time and is ready to proceed again to Mexico City at a mo- mentS notice.
 It is the general opinion, however, that he will remain at Vera Cruz for some time keeping in touch through Charge d'affaires O'Shaughnessey with the actual conditions with the Huerta provisional government, and aiding American citizens who desire to re- turn to this country.
 President Wilson's urgent appeal to Americans in Mexico to leave the coun- try is declared to have been, deteEpined upon not alone because of the Yresent conditions in Mexico, but because of conditions which might arise despite the efforts of the provisional govern ment to prevent harm coming to for eigners.
 That the administration is content to give the situation plenty of time to work it's self out was demonstrated by the present attitude of the president and his advisers and is regarded as one reason for Lind remaining in Vera Cruz. Under no circumstances, it is learned, would Lind leave Mexico at the present time. Not only would his departure be an indication that this government had abandoned hope in the situation, but it is thought would have depressing effect on Americans who chose to remain in the country.
 Refugees Return.
 DOUGLAS, Aug. 3O.-Under promise of protection from the state authorities American refugees who hastened across the border when the president issued his warnings that Americans quit the country, returned today, and resumed their occupations. The absence of an ti-American demonstrations and assur- ance of protection from the Sonora state officials apparently have served to cause the Americans in Sonora gen orally to desregard the warning of the President
 At close of 9 twenty-four hour en- gagement which casualties reported have been heavy on both sides, Sinoloa state troops captured the city of Topo- lobampo according to advices received by the Mexican junta here. The Con stitutionalists were marching on the city when 1000 federals disembarked from the south. The fighting began almost immediately.

 The weather was perfect, and 5O,00O persons saw the contest, in which twelve cars started.
 Rickenbacher, pilot of the Mason, went out of the race in the first lap. The car ahead of him had slidded and to avoid pumping it Ricken- bacher drove into ditch breaking a rear axle. Haupt, in another Mason. was a contender in the race for 245 miles. when his engine burned out and he limped off the course Bob Burman also drove a pretty race in his Keston, but he, quit at 159 miles with a cracked cylinder. Henning' S Velie car lasted only B miles.
 Anderson, by his performance, broke the record for the event. His speed of 71H miles an hour compares with the 621a, made by Mulford in 1910; 66.43 in 1911, by Len Zengel, and 6S.4 d year ago by De Palma.
 Anderson did more, for he emerged from under the shadow of racing mis- fortune in which he had gained his title of champion hard-luck driver of the country.
