KANSAS CITY AND
ST. LOUIS URGED
AS RESERVE SITES
Bank District Embracing
Lower Mississippi Valley
and Missouri Border
Is Urged

st. Louis. January I,--Plans for a re-
gional bank district, embracing the lower
Mississippi valley from tho northern Dor,
der OF Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico and
extending as far west as western Kansas
and western Texas, and as far east as
eastern Kentucky and southern Indiana,
We're presented at the federal reserve
bank hearing here today.
1t was urged by men who appeared
before Secretaries MoAdoo and Houston
that st. Louis be made the center of this
district, but on this point the witnesses
We're not unanimous some saying the
| banks of their towns preferred to be in n
district of which Kansas City was the
center.
o. II. Leonard Tulsa, Okla, banker,
| anxious that Tulsa be not attached to a
district having its center in Texas or
| Denver.
Suppose a regional bank were estab-
lished in st. Louis and branch of that
bank in Kansas City, would that be satis-
factory?" asked Secretary McAdoo.
s'Yes,n answered Mr.. Leonard.
Sterling Fort of Clarksville, Tenn, said
Clarksville bankers preferred first that
their regional bank be located in Louis
ville Ky, or Nashville and second in ST.
Louis. He explained that Clarksville was
in the center of the tobacco belt; that
the tobacco crop usually is handled in
December, January and February, and
that it was desirable that Clarksville
be embraced in district all parts OF
which would not want money at the same
time. His statements were indorsed by
Thomas w. Long of Hopkinsville, Ky,
which is in the same tobacco district as
Clarksville, Tenn.
st. Louis or Kansas City
l.. W. Johnson of Muskogee. Ola, said
bankers of Hrs city would be satisfied
with a regional bank either in st. Louis
or Kansas City, but thought it important
that they be not in southern district.
j. n. Brown, president of bank In
San Antonio, Tex. presented a resolution
from the San Antonio Clearing House as
sociation urging that all of Texas be in
cluded in reserve district reaching as
far north as ST. Louis and east to the
Mississippi river. The Clearing House as
sociation asked that IL a regional bank
could not be located in Texas st. Louis
be the center of the district including
Texas.
Mr. Brown explained that the San An
tonic bankers did not include Louisiana
and Mississippi in their district as the
interests of those states were identical
with those of Texas and all three states
would need money at the same time He
said Texas would be better served by st.
Louis than by Kansas City.
How about New Orleans?" asked Sec
retary Houston.
"Our interests would not be served by
being attached to a district centering
there" was the reply.
S. S. Faulkner, a banker of Helena
Ark, asked that Helena be included in a
district having st. Louis as its center,
as st. Louis is the clearing center for
his section of Arkansas.

PHYSIQUE AND HONESTY.

DR.. G. G. Elson, medical examiner
at the University of Wisconsin, has
evolved theory as to the relation
between physique and morals which
is not only humane. but highly sug-
gestive. Comparing the measure
ments of 1000 students who were
brought before the faculty on charges
Of dishonesty with similar measure
ments of 1000 students whose re-
cords were clear, DR.. Elson found
that every one Of the accused was
physically deficient in every require
ment of the standard of qualification.
This showing strongly supports
the contention, advanced by many
psychologists, that certain moral de-
fects should be treated ny cranial
surgery. Cases have been reported
in the newspapers in which surgical
operations on the Uranium We're said
to have caused profound and benefi-
cent changes In the character and
disposition of the patients. Whether
moral delinquency should always be
regarded as condition due to physi-
cal defect Is an open question. Prob
ably the average practitioner would
hardly care to go that far. But on
the principle that n sound body is
the best assurance of sound mind.
medical science is more and more
inclined to recognize moral deficiency
as the reflex of an unsound physiq"e,

ESTIMATE OF WHAT
INTERVENTION IN
MEXICO means

Certain military authorities have
asserted that an invasion of Mexico
would require an army of 250,000 that
the war would cost the United States
about S1,000,000 day while it lasted,
and that future expenditure of $780,
100000 would be required for pensions.
ITO maintain order in Mexico they
believe that an army Of 100000 would
be needed, and that guerrilla warfare
would continue for generation. The
opponents of intervention have also
pointed out that any invasion of Mex
leo would be deeply resented by the
South Americans, who are racially in
sympathy with the Mexicans.
at is the belief Of those best quail
flied to express an opinion that a
grave mistake was made by the
United States government in failing
to recognize the provisional admins
tration of President Huerta. 1t pre-
vented his government from raising
funds abroad, impeded the work of the
national army in restoring peace, and
thus tended to give support to the
forces of savagery and lawlessness.
The European representatives were
unanimous in recognizing the Huerta
government.
"While it is impossible to forecast,
with any degree of certainty, what is
likely to happen in Mexico, there is,
however, strong reason for believ-
ing that intervention by the United
States, although undesirable, is by no
means impossible. Certain European
governments having important inter
ests in Mexico are disposed to look to
the United States for remedial meas
ures of some kind Having refused to
recognize the Huerta government, the
United States, it is contended, is NOR
ally responsible for the disasters that
have followed"

OPENINGS OF FICTION.

A careful study of contemporary
fiction, says a writer in the West
minister Gazette, shows that there
are six recognized meth9ds of be-
ginning a story. These are:
ID The modern society opening.
(2.) The John Drivellcr, or tesla.
mentary, opening.
(3.) The local color opening.
a. The detective opening.
(5.) The peaceful country house
opening.
co. The spirited, or Gadzooks,
opening.
OF the specimens appended, the
John Driveller opening comes closest
to the mark:
I, John Driveller, of st. Mary Pip
lington, in the County of Devon, Yeo-
man, being now in my eighty-second
year, would fain make clear, while
yet there is time, those strange
events which befel me in the days
when George was King.
l have little skill in the use of
words, and my hands are more ac-
but if you would have a plain story
of stirring deeds and of the love of a
lad for lass
And here my dear wife looks over
my shoulder and playfully says she
must help me when l come to speak
of these matters-matters in which
she played so brave part. .
'Tis hard to realize that sixty years
have passed since first we met. 1t
seems but yesterday, and yet to-day
our grandchildren are swarming like
bees in the orchard. Strange, strange!
But to our muttons, as the French
"a curious people-say.
Well, you must know l was born
. etc.
This kind of opening is only too
familiar, and yet it is a type which
is not evil in essence, but in its
abuse. 1t would be easy to think OF
half dozen novels, all good and
some great, which begin in this
fashion.

PRESIDENT WILSON
WILL NOT MAKE
HASTy DECISION
WILL AVERT WAR
IF POSSIBLE
Tells Callers He'll Adhere to Peace
full Tactics as Long as Possible.

Washington-President Wilson re-
vealed to those who discussed Mex
lean affairs with him that he fully
realized the gravity of the situation
resulting from the killing of William
S. Benton, British subject, the re-
ported murder of Gustav Gadch and
Clemente Vergara, American citizens,
and General Carranza's denial of the
right of the United States to look
after the interests of foreigners gen.
orally in Mexico.
The president spoke deploringly of
armed intervention, but at the same
time pointedly referred to the size
and power of country like the Unit
ed States as being sufficient warrant
for calm and patient course while
compliance with the American de-
mands was being sought.
Try Peaceful Means.
Callers got the impression from the
president that he is determined to
try every peaceful means at his dis
posal to solve the Mexican problem,
but that he realized certain eventual
tiles might mean a drastic course.
He spoke with a firmness that
showed his determination not to be
stampeded into action by radical
speeches in congress, but with hint
that when the necessity arose, the
American government could be ex-
pected to move decisively and eff
fectively.
