that he has received information that rec

Good Effect Elsewhere.

j one well informed man said to-day
that the failure to recognize Huerta
had almost certainly prevented revolu-
tions in several countries, notably
Guatemala and Venezuela. The revo-
lutionists were afraid TO go, ahead in
the face Of the obvious disapproval Of
Huerta by the United States.
The feeling is growing that it is not
likely that Ambassador Wilson will re-
turn to Mexico, at least permanently.
If his plans for th7 solution of the
Mexican problem are not adopted, it is
difficult for observers 10 see how he
can remain in office. His position,
however is well protected. IT is OBJ
vious that his whole case is based on
instructions which he received during
the last administration. Furthermore,
he has submitted his resignation three
times during the last few months, so
there would be no obvious sting were
IL to be accepted now.
Ambassador Wilson had a conversa-
ton tonight with oscar J. Branif, a
Mexican. who is reported to be an
agent Of the Huerta government. Mr..
Branin IS deeply interested in the stu
alton. and has a plan Of mediation
which is said to be receiving the con-
sideration of President Wilson.

tion Inspector. who was shot in Juarez
Yesterday by Mexican soldiers. was re-
leased from the Juarez hospital and
brought to a hospital in FL Paso to-day
after the American Consul, T. y. Ed
wards. had made a demand for his re-
lease and for the arrest Of the men who
shot him The officials believe he will
recover
The Mexican Consul. Miranda, and
Guillermo Porras. formerly Secretary Of
State Of Chihuahua. also interceded for
the release Of Dixon. after conferences
with United States officials. who repre-
sented to the MeXicans the grave i'm
preston that had been caused in Wash
! ington by the news of the shooting OF the
| inspector.
The demand Of Consul Edwards was in
vigorous language. First telling the
Mexican authorities that Dixon must be
delivered up to his friends and permitted
| to he brought to FL Paso without delay,
the consul said relative to reparation:
Il do not merely request the arrest Of
these men. but in the name Of the United

honor 10 represent. ] demand their I'M

which Walker had been implicated, told
the Mexican officials that Dixon was

the negro then bought drinks for the sol

When the soldiers had taken Dixon they

was going TO be executed.
As matter of self-preservation Dixon
declared, he took to fight, and became
the target Of many bullets, only one OF
which took effect, striking him in the back
and penetrating his body. Another bullet
struck his shoe but did not wound him.
Dixon was taken TO the Juarez Hospital
by his captors, and there, under mill

until late to-day. The MeXicans refused

work will be begun.
The granite is nearly all on hand

Magnus Swenson, a member of the

that while there had been some delay
on account of labor troubles at the
quarries, this had now been overcome.
The work of cutting the stone for
this curved work which is done in the
quarries is most particular, inasmuch
as each piece must have the proper
curvature both outside and in, and be
made to fit perfectly in the place for
which it is intended.

CURRENCY REFORM BILL
REPORTED TO THE HOUSE
As Approved by the Demo
cratic Caucus.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE admin
istratiOn currency reform bill, as ap-
proved by the Democratic caucus. was
reported to the house from the com
mittee on banking and currency by
Chairman Glass Tuesday A volnm-
nous report, including lengthy tech
nical discussion of the theory of the
bill, accompanied the measure, setting
forth the views of the Democrats on
the committee.
The bill. as approved by the Demo
cratic caucus, was reported to the
house from the committee on banking
and currency by Chairman Glass.
Representative Hayes of California
presented a report Irom the Republi-
cans, criticising the measure and pro-
posing various amendments.
Reviewing the arguments against
the so-called Aldrich plan outlined by
the national monetary commission,
and against all central bank plans
suggested, the majority report said:
ANY effective legislation on bank
Ing must include the following funda-
mental elements:
Creation of "a joint mechanism for
the extension of credit to the banks
which possess sound assets and which
desire to hQuidate them for the pur-
pose of meeting legitimate CONNER
cial, agricultural and Industrial de-
mands on the part of their clientele.
Ultimate retirement of the present
bond secured currency. with suitable
provision for the fulfllment of govern
i, ment obligations to bondholders.
coupled with the creation of a sat
isfactory flexible currency to take its
place.
Provision for better extension OF
American banking facilities in for
eign countries to the end that our
trade abroad may be enlarged and
that American business men in for
eign countries may obtain the accom-
modations they require In the conduct
of their operations"
