WILSON, Warning
ON MEXICAN NEWS
Declares People Who Profit
from Trouble Give Out False
Reports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. President
Wilson spoke a word of warning to
the public today regarding reports
on the situation in Mexico. At his
weekly conference with the Washing
ton correspondents the President de-
elared there were many persons in
Mexico, as well as the United States,
who found it to their advantage to
have trouble in the Southern re-
public, and were interested in giving
out false reports of the situation.
Dispatches today from American
Consul Silliman in Mexico City re-
ported the arrival in person Of Gen
eral Zapata, Sunday The general at
once restored the tram car properties
confiscated by the Constitutionalists
to the owning corporation, and re-
stored the property of an American
named Hill, which also had been
taken.
General Angeles arrived the same
day with the advance guard Of Villa ;
army, and later Zapata left for
Puebla.
The city was quiet and orderly. Mr.
Si,liman reported, and the diplo-
matte corps was being consulted on
measures of safety.

tai and Vera Cruz was restored late

LOCAL BANK DIRECTORATES
HIT BY NEW FEDERAL LAW
Suburban Institutions Will Be Affected More Than Newark
Institutions Result of Prohibition of Interlockng Boards
Under the Clayton AntiTru Ac-Savings Exempt

A number Of changes will be eff
fected in the directorate of banks
and trust companies in this city and
the surrounding suburban towns as
a result of the enactment of the
Clayton antitrust laws and the Fed
eral Reserve act. The changes wifi
neither be SO radical or SO many in
Newark as in other New Jersey
cities, however. for in many instances
boards of directors in the local banks
confine their activities to but one
institution.
But in the Oranges, Montclair, Nor
ristown and other communities of
like character, radical changes are
certain. In these towns banks have
been founded by men with large
financial interests in New York and
other cities The Clayton law de-
rnands that these men give up either
their directorates in New York or In
the local banks. 1t is, therefore,
positive that before the end of two
years, when the provision affecting
them becomes operative, these men
will retire from the local banks.
Briefly, the law, aiming to abolish
interlocking bank directorates, pro-
vides that from and after two years
from October Is, when the statute was
approved, no person shall be an en-
ploye, officer of more than one bank,
banking association or trust company
organized or operating under the laws
of the United States, either of which
has deposits, capital, surplus and un-
divided profits aggregating more than
IS 100000 This also applies to any
national bank in cities with popula-

tion of 100000 or more. But bankers
Who are directors in banks or trust
comrasakes need not resign similar po-
sitions held by them In a mutual saw
ings bank. But a man engaged as a
private banker may not also be di-
rector in a national bank.
Few in Newark.
1t was pointed out today by an Of
ficer of one of the largest financial
institutions in this city that but few
of the local banks have on their
boards men who are directors nm 9TH
er banks or trust companies.
Among these is the Union National
Bank. In this instance nearly all of
the directors will have either to sever
their connection with the institution
or retire from others. Clinton w.
Feigenspan is also a director in the
Federal Trust Company, as Is Joseph
NJ Byrne, T. M. Woodland and for
mer Judge Gottfried Krueger. WILL
lam Scherer, Uzal H McCarter,
Thomas NJ McCarter and Forrest r.
Dryden, of the Union Bank, are
directors in the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, while Fanklin Conklin is a
diector in the Ironbound Trust Com
pany, and v. p Snyder is in the
directorate of the National Bank of
Commerce, in New York. Other local
institutions who have directors oc-
cupying similar positions in other
banks are the Essex County National
Bank, the Manufacturers National
Bank and the Merchants National
Bank. But few changes will be
necessary in these institutions, how
ever
