Committee Will Receive Additional In
formation Up to To-
day,

Washington, March 9.-Under deci-
sion of the reserve bank organization
committee all information designed to
affect the definition of reserve bank
cities must be received at the treasury
department by March ..
Although the committee has spent
much time discussing the location of re-
serve cities since its trip through the
country ended here Feb. Is, it was de-
cided that additional information should
be considered if filed before o-day. Ow-
ing to the illness of Secretary Houston,
the committee has met only few times
recently. Beginning Tuesday, however,
the task of making the selections will
be taken up in earnest, and it is under
stood will be completed in time to al
low President Wilson to name the men,
bers of the federal reserve board before
April /.
The law provides that not more than
one member will come from one district
and the districts must be defined before
the nominations are made.
A story that ii federal reserve cities
had been decided upon by the organiza-
ton committee was classed as mere
fabrication" by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo Saturday. In a formal
statement the secretary said:
''The committee has reached no con-
clusion whatever and in order that the
country may be prepared for such state
ments, we desire to say that any stories
purporting to give the views or opinions

Much Gossip on the Mexican
Situation at Wash

SPEAKER CLARK IN
HOT REPLY TO CRITIC
Using Personal Privilege
for First Time in 20 Years,
He Denounces Zueblin

Washington, d. c., March al
though President Wilson has been out
of town and the Senate was not in ses-
sion. Washington did not have an unin-
teresting Saturday. Gossip and discus
sion as to Mexico are in full swing.
There is feeling that important devel-
opments may come very soon. A story
that England had interposed to bring
about the resignation of Huerta was
prominently published in an anti-admin-
istration paper here Saturday morning,
but it brought positive denial from
President Wilson, while he was on his
way to Baltimore. The downfall OF Huer-
ia was ascribed to the diplomacy of Lord
Garden, with whom the president con-
ferred a few days ago. Back of all the
Misrepresentation, however, is the fact
that Gen. Felix Diaz is in town, and that
certain adroit forces are maneuvring
in anticipation of some change to the
southwark.
The Senate apparently adjourned over
till to-day, that Senator Fall of New
Mexico might not have immediate oppor-
tunty to exploit his INSTRUMENTATION
views about Mexico. Senators generally
are adverse to big debate on Mexico
at this time, but there has seemed no
reasonable way of shutting it of. SEN
ator Fall, however, has sufficient data
on the situation and is speaker of such
force that friends of the administration
believe he should not be ignored.

Zueblin of Chicago not many days ago
accused the speaker of miscounting the
votes in the House. The speaker from
the rostrum denied this emphaticaily and
castigated the professor in very positive
language. There probably has been care
less counting in the House by various
speakers, but not when important mat
tiers were at issue.

of labor in her factories, but could not
stand to have her transportation faeili-

was real danger and somebody should

ment at New York Saturday afternoon
that they had succeeded in signing up

ject the proposals of the Federals.

Directors Are Said to Be
Against Divorcing Bos-
ton & Maine
CONVINCED FURTHER
PARLEYING USELESS
Battle Would Come Over the
Disposal of Boston &
Maine Stock

Boston, March 9.--More reports are
current that the directors of the New
Haven railroad at their meeting Friday
decided to fight the federal government
ON the question of divorcing the Boston
& Maine.
They are said to have lost patience
with the department of justice and 9th
err public officials, who during the re-
cent conferences have been debating the
terms on which the New Haven must
part with their investment in Boston &
Maine stock. 1t is said that the New
Haven directors even question their le-
gal right to consent to terms that might
compel the sale OF the stock at large
sacrifice.
At the outset of the Washington con-
ferenees it was generally accepted that
the New Haven entered into dissolution
negotiations TO save itself from long lit
igation, but it has since been asserted
in official circles that its action was a
confession that it had been violating the
Sherman antitrust law.
II the directors have decided upon the
new course ii probably means that they
will set up the claim in court, if nee
essary, that the New Haven has le-
gal right to keep its stock control over
the Boston & Maine. Ii is said that
this will be their reply to the request
of Attorney General McReynolds that
they agree to sell their Boston & Maine
holdings within two years, instead of
within five years.
Gov. Walsh OF Massachusetts, said
Saturday afternoon:

New Haven road has changed its atti-
tude toward the government or that
