William B. Hale Meets Con-
stitutiOnalist Commander
at Nongales
NO OFFICIAL COMMENT
ON MR.. HALE'S STATUS
But 1t Is Believed in Washington That
He Is Acting as Private Envoy and
is Furnishing Information for Official
Purposes.
Purposes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Confer-
enccs now being held between William
Bayard Hale and General Nenustiano
Carranza at Nongales are interpreted
in official circles here as the first open
move by the United States to show an
interest in the undertakings of the con
stitutionalists in Mexico.
No official commented today upon
Hale 5 exact status, but on previous
occasion when he spent three months
il Mexico City gathering information
President Wilson let it be known that
Hale was there as his personal friend.
Little doubt exists in diplomatic
circles that while Hale still retains the
character of an unofficial envoy he is
furnishing the Washington government
with information for official purposes.
Observers point out that his confer
ences are not necessarily the forerun-
ners OF recognition.

WILSON'S DICTATION
RESENTED IN SENATE
Senator Hitchcock Holds President
Responsible for Currency
Bill Delay

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-President
Wilson 5 interference with the
right of Congress to initiate legislation
provoked a storm in the Senate when
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, a
Democrat, charged that executive die
tation alone had prevented the Senate
from agreeing on a banking and cur
rcncy reform bill. He predicted that
the action of the President in applying
the lash through the medium of the
Senate conference called for Wed
nesday would rctard rather than expe-
dite banking and currency legislation.
Mr.. Hitchcock announced that he
would not be bound by the dictum Of
the party conference or caucus. On
the other hand, Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri, fenounccd his insurgency, declar-
ing that he was ga party man who
never drew pencil through the
name of a Democrat and that he
would abide by any decision reached
in party conference
Inferentially Senator Reed rebuked
the administration for making the
banking bill a party question by
throwing it into Democratic confer
ence.

KEEPING BOOKS ON YOURSELF.

A good idea is set forth by William
Sherer the manager of the New York
Clearing House:
There is one point on which I would
like to lay particular stress. and that is
the great advantages which every one
can enjoy from the careful keeping of
personal accounts. 1t is not necessary
for a man to be an expert accountant.
but / do think that an elementary knowl-
edge of reading and writing.
II is not so much a matter of the di-
rect benefit which follows from keeping
a perfect check upon your expenditures.
even to the smallest sum: it is the de-
velopment of sense of responsibility,
of self-accountability that arises from a
careful and constant attention to ac-
counts which has a beneficial effect on
the character.
Here in the New York Clearing House
We handle an average of about two
hundred and fifty million dollars day
of which perhaps twenty millions is in
cash. No one is allowed to close his
desk for the day until every cent of this
is accounted for. an exact balance
struck between debtors and creditors,
and we are left without a penny to be
responsible for. This has been going
on for nearly sixty years, and on one
occasion only in that time has there
been an unexplained mistake at the end
of days work. and that is so long ago
we've almost forgotten about it. When
you reflect that the sum of money han
died by the Clearing House up to the
end of last year amounts to $2,224, ,479.-

tribute to accuracy in accounting.
