By The United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Emphatio

Louis that representatives of the
American Bankers Association came
here only to voice a patriotic warning
against danger to the republic and
not at all as bankers, marked the
opening of today's hearing by the
senate banking and currency commit
tee.
Explaining his motive in testifying
Wade said the bankers regard the
issuance of currency by the treasury
as weakening the republic The
witness declared he had no particular
currency bill in mind. but he advised
that a reserve bank be established
with branches in the larger cities
that notes BE issued by the bank as
a bank obligation. redeemable in gold
and having a gold reserve Of fifty
per cent behind them and that q
board on which the government
should be represented should control
the increasing or decreasing of this
reserve in times of stress. Wade also
favored depositing all of the money
OF the nation in the central reserve
bank and requiring that bank to act
as fiscal agents of the government
under government supervision.

UNOFFICIAL ADVISOR

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-Trouble
within the administration over the
Mexican situation is thought 70 he ndi-
Gated by the departure from the State
Department OF John Bassett Moore,
councillor OF the department Ostensibly
MI Mooie has gone on vacation and 1t
Is said Will return az the end OF a month.
Friends OF Mr. Moore declare that II
he returns at all il win be because
cau.ts Of friction between himself and
sec.elary Bryan have been removed.
Air. Moore is recognized as the highest
authority in this country upon diplo-
matte matters and international law. lie
was appointed 20 the State Department
by presiden Wilson.
I'm an Mr. Dryan's absences. when he
was busy delivering Chautauqun lee
lures. Nh Moore was the acting secre
tary of state and as such was consult
ed by the President.
Il is now asserted that when the
Mexican ST lation became acute Mr..
Moore was excluded by Secretary
Bryan from all discussions Of policy.
He was not informed Of the instruc-
tions given to Mr.. Lind and learned
them only from sources outside the
department. MS Allcnuc drnNlA AhAN
he did not approve the course taken
and that had he been consulted a
policy more likely to have proven
successful would have been urged.
However this may have been, when
the President found 1t necessary to
deliver a message to Congress ex-
planning what had been done with
( reference to Mexico Mr.. Moore was
again consulted, but only concerning

/ It is now asserted that the differ
ences between Mr.. Moore and Secre-
tary Bryan have become of a char
acter which is responsible for MIR.
Moores withdrawal from the depart
ment and the likelihood that he will
not return.
Even those who deny that there Is
any trouble admit that this is rather
singular time for Mr. Moore to Sc
lect for his vacation, in view of the
Mexican situation.
1t is understood that Dr. William
B. Hale will be the unofficial adviser
of the administration upon all mat

BONDS SOLD

Several Of the county bonds offered
for sale by the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company we're disposed
Of this morning and many inquiries
have been made concerning the bonds
at both the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company and the Farmers
Bank.
II was stated to a reporter OF THE
EVENING JOURNAL this morning at
the Security Trust aud Safe Deposit
Company that $4,000 Of the 5000 900
bonds taken by the bank have been
disposed OF and in a short time the
few remaining will be sold The
officers of the bank are highly enthu-
siastio over the success Of the sale.
When the proposition was first made
there was some doubt as 10 whether
IL might not he a hard matter 10 sell
the bonds quickly but the first day
that they were offered to the public n
was seen that in a short time they
would be taken by investors who
we're looking for a safe and sure in
vestment with the advantage of aid
ing the community
The Farmers Bank has sold about
$4,000 of the 100000 issue that It
took. Several inquiries we're made az
the bank today regarding the bonds.
Yesterday afternoon gentleman
from Maryland made inquiry at the
bank about the bonds. but because he
wanted those maturing in ten years
he was sent 10 the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company, where he pur-
chased two bonds.
That the 100000 bond issue to be
made by the city. to pay for its share
lin the joint city and county building.
can be disposed of at par in the same
manner as the county bonds are be-
ing Sold is the opinion of John s.
'Rossell. vice-persident of the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company.
Mr.. Rossell, in speaking of the
matter, did not intimate that his bank
would undertake TO dispose of the
city bonds, but said he felt sure that
they should bring par and that the
entire issue could be fioated in this
city. AS the securities are gilt-edged
there should be no reason why they
should be sold TO outside parties be-
low par. They will bear interest at
the rate of 1-2 per cent, the same
as the county bonds.
When asked about the proposal ol
selling the city bonds the same as
the highway improvement bonds
Ezekiel Cooper, cashier OF the Farm
ers Bank, said that he knew nothing
Of the matter, and that it. Of course
was for the board of directors Of the
institution TO decide.
Whether any proposition will be
made TO Council with respect to suct
plan is not yet known. Council has
passed the ordinance authorizing the
loan. but Il has not yet received the
signature of Mayor Harrison w
Howell, and therefore no action has
been taken with respect to disposine

PASSING OF

RAILROAD CAR
Representative Allen Frames
Bill That Will Make Rid

ALL STEEL CARS BY
1918 is HIS PLAN
Bv The United Press.

BY The United Press.
Washington, Sept. 4-The aboli
ton OF every wooden passenger car IN
the United States within five years,
will be demanded in a bill that is be-
ing drafted today by Representative
A. G.. Allen of Ohio. the member OF
the postoflice and post roads cont
mittee who framed the steel mall-car
provisions in the postoffce approprl7
ton bill, and Representative Steven 5,
of New Hampshire. chairman of the
safety appliance committee Of he In
terstate Commerce Committee.
The Allen-Stevens bill which will
be offered for passage at the special
session of Congre S, If possible. will
demand that every railroad in the
country retire twenty per cent Of
its wooden passenger cars per year,
beginning January l. 1914. II will
provide for a special corps of inyesti-
gators. directly under the supervision
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. TO see that the provisions Of the
measure are carried out
Wooden cars in these days of great
Mogul engines and complex trafflc are
anomalous" declared Representative
Allen today "At the hearings be-
fore the postofiice committee, when
the steel mail car provision was up,
it was proven that they are the great
weak link in protection against
wrecks
"In a collision or derailment. the
engine serves as a barricade. over
which the wooden cars ride. showing
the car bodies from the platform and
pinning occupants in the debris With
steel cars, accidents of this sort are
impossible A steel car cannot be
broken or telescoped. Its body is a
guarantee against that. II will be de-
rallied and roll over. but the great
loss of life in wrecks comes from the
debris crushing the life out of pas
sengers."
The bill will not apply to Pullman
cars alone. 1t will cover every car that
carries passengers from the combination
baggage and smoking car TO the finest
type Of Pullman.
Representative Stevens. who. as chair
man of the safety appliance subcom-
mittee. will have direct charge Of the
bill, after it is presented in the house
and referred to his committee. said to-
day that he would use his best efforts to
see that it was reported out promptly.
"1he railroads. of course, will have a
fair nearing" he said. They may be
unable to get sufficient steel cars to
comply with the proposed time ~tipula-
tion in the measure. In that case the
bill will be amended, 20 provide that
certain trains where the risk is greatest
be equipped first

American refugees and other for

changed and that in his opinion
Americans in Mexico should take the
advice of President Wilson to quit the
country. He said that he saw no
revolutionists on his trip into the in
