Sec. MCAdOO Makes No Re-
portOf Result Of Session.
All New York Bankers Favor
One Large Regional Bank.
Probable Solution: Series Of 8 or 4
On the Atlantic Seahoard.

New York, Jan. THE federal re-
serve organization committee today
concluded it's hearings in New York.
The committee, consisting OF Secre-
tary McAdoo of the treasury depart
meut and Secretary Houston of the
department of agriculture, will pro-
ceed tomorrow to Boston, where hear
ings will be held on Friday and Sat-
urday.
After the hearings here had been
concluded Sec. McAdoo was asked
whether he had been impressed by
the arguments advanced almost unan-
imously by the New York bankers in
favor of establishment here of a re-
gional bank of such size that 1t would
overshadow all the others.
Il hope" said the secretary smil-
ingly. that I am not as green as l
look
Mr.. McAdoo allowed his questioners
to draw their own differences as to
what he meant. He would say moth
ing more further than that the COM
mittee had reached no conclusions,
These who attended the hearings and
listened to the objections raised by the
committee to the proposal for huge
New York bank believed the most
probable solution of the question. IN
the light of evidence so far addueed,
was the placing of three or four re-
gional banks on or near the Atlantic
seaboard, instead of having one large
district centering in New York and
including New England and part or
all of the Middle Atlantic states.

ALI of these things have received
attention fn law which lii sure I'd
contribute much to the appearance Of
the state, identifying the landscape,
and making Maryland roads and
streets comfortable and more attrac-
tive to the passer-by. For this law
gives the State Board OF Forestry
power not only to care for and i'm
prove trees already planted along any
highway. but provides for their
proper planting i'm desirable places.
1t is forbidden under this law, and
a penalty provided, to trim, cut down,
or in any way to mutilate roadside
trees without the approval and permits
sion Of the State Forest Officers. And
further, the placing of any advertising
matter on fences, stones, trees or
buildings i'm or upon the public high
ways is now prohibited, and fine
provided for the enforcement of this
provision.
The direct benefits to BE- derived
from such a law are only too appar-
emit, and the State Board Of Forestry
proposes in the immediate future to
show the people of this State how
they may themselves assist in carry
ing out this new law and aid in i'm
proving the appearance OF their own
particular district.

Latest News From Mexico.

Observers in Mexico express the
opinion that the taking Of Tamplco by
the Constitutionalists forms eof the
closing scenes of the dictatorship Of
General Victoriano Huerta. They be-
lieve that his downfall is a question

days, while some are inclined to give
the dictator only a few hours before
his control in the Federal capital
ends in possible riot and bloodshed.

And miss her oh, how sadly miss her,
And my heart il still aching SO.

She ID free from all sickness and pain.
And trust when my journey is ended,

Now there ID no joy at home.
Think not dear wife that thou art forgotten.
For by me you never shall be,
For as long al breath and memory last,
My thoughts will be of thee.
