STRIKE SYMPATHIZERS RIOT
Trouble in Trinidad Street When Mil.
tia Breaks Up Parade of Women
and Children.

Trinidad Col, Jan. 24.-Twenty or
more persons, including eight women,
are under arrest and at least five are
known to be suffering from slight in
jurieS as the result of serious street
riot, which took place here, when the
militia under the personal direction Of
General John Chase, broke up crowd
of strike sympathizers which was at
tempting to march to San Rafael hos
pital where Mother" Jones is held
under military arrest.
Stones, bottles and bricks were
hurled at the militiamen by crowd
of angry women who precipitated the
outbreak when they were ordered to
turn back by the soldiers.
Several soldiers, including Major II.
M. Randolph, were assaulted, and not
until the cavalrymen with drawn
swords had charged the crowd several
times was it dispersed.
One soldier sustained a broken rib
when his horse fell and one of the riot
ers received a cut from a sabre.
The riot followed the parade of the
wives and children of the striking coal
miners which had been planned by the
union leaders.

LARGEST BANK ACCEPTS PLAN
NATIONAL CITY OF NEW YORK
ADOPTS CURRENCY SYSTEM.
No official Statement Is Likely Units
President Vanderlip's Return
From Paris.

New York, Jan. 26.-It has become
known in financial circles that the Ma
tional City bank of New York city,
the largest institution of its kind in
the United States, will accept the fed
eral reserve system, despite rumors
to the contrary
Officers of the bank gave out the in
formation that the National City would
in all probability enter the federal
system created under the new cur
rency Jaw
There had been rumors afloat that
NE National City intended to surren-
der its government charter, cease
business as a national bank, and
merge with the Corn Exchange bank,
the largest state institution. Such
financial institution would mean a
state bank, the combined resources of
which would probably overshadow any
regional reserve bank which might be
established here.
1t is probable no official statement
will be made until the return of Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the City
bank, who is now in Paris, comforting
with James Stillman, the chairman of
the board Of directors.
Financiers not affiliated with the
National City bank expressed surprise
when informed of its intention, chief
ly because OF the opposition to the
currency bill maintained by some of
its leading officers. Moreover, The mis-
understandings said to exist between
the bank and the treasury department
at Washington gave rise to the belief
in some quarters that the bank was
seriously considering the organization
OF an institution which would enable
it to become formidable competitor
with the reserve system.
The differences between the bank
and the treasury department began
with the expulsion from the depart
ment of woman employee of the bank
who for years gathered statistical in
formation for the bank.
Some of the largest national banks
of this city have already applied for
membership in the new system, in
Guiding the Chase National, the Park
National, the Fourth National and the
National Bank of Commerce. This
leaves few banks of the first rank yet
to be heard from.

Bill Not Introduced.

|
Pursuant to the purpose of admin
| istration leaders to exhaust the sub
| ject it was determined by the house
| judiciary and senate interstate COM
merce committees not to introduce at
this time the measures relating to in
terlocking directorate prohibition. de-
finitions of restraints of trade and
specification of "cut throat" compe-
tition.
Hearings on these questions are to
be held before the bills go to con-
gress.
The interstate trade commission bill
introduced Friday will be taken up
Immediately by the house interstate
and foreign commerce committee,
which may see fit to alter the provis-
ions suggested by the judiciary sub
committee and Senator Newlands,
chairman of the senate interstate COM
merce committee.
Fifth Bill to Wait.
The fifth of the proposed bills, that
to authorize federal regulation of rail
road securities, probably will not be
drawn for several weeks. AS a basis
for this measure however, bill in
troduced some time ago by Representa-
tive Adamson of Georgia probably will
be taken.
Plans for the hearings now are en-
gaging attention of the legislative lead
ers. When the Democrats of the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee
met to discuss the subject the sug-
gestion was made that hearings should
be conducted Jointly by house and SEN
| ate committees in order to expedite
consideration of the bills. This idea
! received very little encouragement,
| however, from the house leaders in
charge of the antitrust program and
the plan hardly will work out, unless
strong pressure should be brought to
bear on the ground that everything
possible should be done to expedite the
| business of congress SO there may be
an early adjournment.
Joint Hearings Difficult.
With two committees in the house
already engaged in preliminary consid-
| Grafton of the subject and with the
prospect of another division of juris-
diction in the senate between the jul
dietary and interstate commerce com
mittees it was pointed out that joint
hearings could not be conducted with
out considerable difficulty. Democrats
of the senate interstate commerce
commission were inclined to insist
that all the trust measures be refer
red to them when the bills are intro
duced in the upper branch.
Members of both committees after
discussing at some length the ques-
ton of making the bills party meas
ures through caucus action expressed
the hope that it would not be neces-
sary to handle them in this way, as
was done with the tariff and currency
| bills.
