ATLANTA DEPENDS
ON SM|THF0R BANK
Many Believe Capitals
Claims Fell Short Of What
Was Expected
BY ROBERT MORAN

Atlanta February 17.-(Special.) belief
is strong here that If Atlanta should sue
ceed in securing one of the regional banks
under the new currency law, that sue
cess will be due altogether to the work
of United States Senator Hoke Smith.
The presentation of Atlanta's claims by
the Atlanta committee, even in the opin-
ion of many Atlantans, fell far short of
what was expected. and it was too APP
parent that the members OF the commit
tee did not supply the bank reserve or
ganizstion board with just the informa-
ton they were seeking. This came out
specially in pointed questions that were
asked by members of the board, and for
which frequently replies were not ready.
Atlanta was not alone In this manner
of presentation of her claims, as repre-
sentatives from the other cities which
appeared to urge their claims were also
occasioned some embarrassment by ques-
tions which members of the poard thrust
at them unexpectedly. The members o.
the board seemed to know exactly whai
they wanted. and one of the things they
didn't want was oratory. Tney cut II
off whenever it began to show itself. They
wanted not only facts but certain kinds
of facts, some of which the petitioners
had not prepared themselves with.
But when Senator Smith took hold of
the matter. he seemed to Understand just
what the board desired and he gave it to
them, although he did not come as a Pc
titioner but rather as a member of the
United States Senate. where he assisted
In working out the new currency law
He also told the board very emphatically
that he had secured the amendment in
crea sing the number of regional banks
from eight to IL, so that there might be
no question of placing one OF them In
the southeastern section; and he further
declared he had no second choice insist
ing that the bank should pe placed in
Atlanta.
IF we had known you were going to
have Senator Smith here" remarked one
of the Birmingham committee, I'VE would
certainly have brought Oscar Underwood
down.
Senator Smith put up Atlantas case
very forcibly. and it is believed here tina.
his influence will have some material
bearing on the decision to be reached
by the board.

MAYFLOWER ORDERED
TO MEXICAN WATERS

Washington, February 17.-After a con-
ference with President Wilson today,
Secretary Daniels ordered the presiden-
tial yacht Mayflower to Mexican waters
to relieve one of the battleships at Vera
Cruz. The President has had no use
for the yacht lately, and boats of the
gunboat class are regarded as particu-
larly useful in Mexican waters because
of their light draft
Capt. Harry Mel p. Huse will go on
the Mayfiower to Vera Cruz to. become
chief of staff to Admiral Fletcher The
Mayfower Will be away about two
months.
The state department has not been
moved by inquiries of any foreign gov
ernments as to the sending of a ma
rine force to the Mexican capital 1t is
said that such step is regarded as
unnecessary.
The statement was repeated today that
the dispatch of machine guns and anmu-
milton by the British admiral at Vera
Cruz to the British legation in Mexico
City was within international practice
The state department has no knowledge
that British marines actually have Oc-
cupied the legation, though it has as
sumed that this would be done in case
of necessity.

SECRET SERVICE MEN WERE HERE
Many Violations Il Is Said We're Found III
This District.

During the past ten days several secret
men have been operating in this territory
headed by Brent. Many violations of the

They left Tuesday for Minnesota. Sells
the new commissioner certainly intends
keeping his promise in regards stamping out
the salesof liquor to Indians and instituting
a campaign against the sale OF liquor to
indians. but then the government is large to
blame in liquor matters. Why don't they
shut down the distilcries throughout thr
country. Hwhiskey is bad for the Indian
than it is just as bad for the Whiteman.
