NO MOVE FOR CREDITS BUREAU.
Washington Omcials Deny Reports
Of Conference on Plan.

VACCINATION. Oct s-If serious con-
slderatlon is being given by financial In
terests in New York to any project LOOKING
toward the establishment OF great inter-
national bureau for the clearing OF credits
il has not been taken up with officials In
Washington.
Published reports to-day credited j. r.
Morgan with being interested in the es-
"a bll shment OF such bureau which would
operate In regard to the International
credit balances as the New York Clearing
House operates for its members, Under
this plan only the actual balances among
the members of the international bureau
would be paid In gold.
President Wilson said that he had heard
nothing of the plan, and members OF the
Federal Reserve Board declared II nad not
been discussed with them. Az the Treas
ury Department the statement was made
that Mr.. Morgan had no appointment 10
discuss this subject with Mr.. McAdoo. The
state Department which would be con-
suited In regard 10 any understanding OF
this Importance, also knew nothing or the
reported plan,
that some such scheme has long been
greatly desired, but they expressed grave
doubt as to whether any progress could
be made with 1t at this time In their
opInion the most favorable and friendly
relations would be necessary between ma.
tons for the successful inauguration OF
the plan. Furthermore II was pointed
out that questions would be raised In the
consideration OF such "A plan inHolVins
President Wilson's stand on neutrality
In this connection II was pointed out
that the State Department had expressed
It's dlsa approval OF loan by the United
States bankers TO France, which was In
tended merely as credit balance In this
country. The same objection II was con-
tended would be raised in any erort that
might be made at this time 10 bring about

his automobile and asked me 20 ride down
with him.
II upbraided Mr.. Morse. for trying to
assist Mr.. Heinze In his desire to control
the bank, and told him that | person.
ally would not care to have any interest
In the bank II 1t were to go into the con-
troll Of a man with Mr. Heinze's reputa-
ton as Spectator. Mr.. Morse asked
me how much l wanted for my shares
We talked over the situation. with the re-
suit that | told him / would agree to sell
Mr.. Heinze 1000 shares then and 1000
more in about sixty days, because the
1000 shares in question were in the con-
troll Of William Nelson Cromwell as the
representative OF certain owners. and Mr..
Cromwell was away at the time.
Morse Check for s35O,OOO.
80 Mr. Morse closed the deal by Civ
ing me his check for $3.50. 900. which was
the amount of cash asked. Mr. Morse
asked me II | would take his note for the
balance, and | said didn't care to take
his note, but would take Mr.. Heinze's note
tr the remainder. In closing the deal
for the first 1000 shares Mr. Morse gave
me memorandum stating plainly that
hp was buying the stock from me for
Mr. Ileinze.
THE best proof OF the fact that my
fears about Heinze in control were well
founded was that at the time that he be-
came president of the Mercantile II had
deposits of 5000 900. which gradually
shrank to about s5.000.000. I bought
back the bank afterward and the depoSts
Increased. and when II was merged with
the Irving National the deposits were
up to 100000 900"
This ended the direct examination Of
Mr.. Gould The first question put to him
on cross-eXamina;ion by Senator Bracket
related TO the memorandum Morse gave
him when he bought the stock. The mem
orandum was put in evidence. and read
rs follows:
This confirms sale made for you
CGould) TO f. Augustus Heinze
CHARLES w. MORSE"
TN the light OF this memorandum,
asked Mr. Bracket. do you still claim
on your oath that Morse did not sell your
stock for you to HeinzeH'
Morse bought the stock for himself
and Helnze," said Mr.. Gould.
AS matter ~ fact. you knew that
Helnze had come back from the West
with millions and YOU weren't backward
about taking his notes.
II didn't hesitate AT that time TO take
his notes" said Mr.. Gould.
You knew he had about $40 900, 900
didn't you?'
Yes"
And II smeled good. didn't it,
Yes" replied Mr.. Could smiling.
The case will go on to-day.

s1.200.0O0 as the amount due on 5000
shares OF Mercantile National Bank stock
which put Helnze in control OF the bank,
from which he was forced Mt the time OF
a witness on short notice because Heinze's
attorney. ex-senator Bracket, rested the
defence to the suit without calling Charles
w. Morse to substantiate HelnZes testi-
mony that Morse was an agent OF Gould
in selling the Mercantile National stock
to Heinze.
Alton d. Parker. trial counsel for Gould.
announced that he had subppnaed Morse
and that he would give Morse an oppor-
tunity to take the witness chair and say
whether II was true that the Gould stock
was bought under an agreement by
which he and Heinze were to share II
and that In engineering the deal he was
Goulds agent In closing his testimony
yesterday morning Henze said that Morse
paid $4,000 down on his agreement to
