[AssocIATEp PRESS pIsPATcHl

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-F. Augustus HeinZe took the stand in his own defense in the suit in the supreme court brought by Edwin Gould to recover on notes for $1,000000 and interest given Gould by Heinze for stock in the Mercantile National bank. Heinze claimed he bought the stock under misrepresentations.
 He testified that he was offered the presidency of the bank at $20000 salary if he would buy 5000 shares of stock. He said he accepted, but as president and director of twenty five mining companies he had not time and turned over the affairs to the vice-p president and never examined the condition of the bank. His sal ary he applied on the stock.

Are Facing Starvation

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. - Admiral Howard, commanding the American naval forces off the Pacific coast of Mexico, reported to the navy depart ment there is shortage of food all along the west coast and the populace of Acapulco is facing starvation. Food stuffs are not available at any price, he said. Howard says it is absolutely necessary that corn and rice be pro- vided promptly for Acapulco.
 Transportation both by land and rail is virtually at standstill along the Pacific coast, inasmuch as the revolu- tionary activities of the past three years have engaged great masses of people and only meagre crops have been grown. Desultory firing about Acapulco is mentioned in the message. But this is not understood by the off cials here to involve the present issues under discussion between envoys of Villa and Carranza They say there is turmoil throughout the entire state of Guerrero, of which Acapulco is the principal port, indicating urgent need of the early establishment of a strong central government in Mexico.
 It is understood negotiations for the transfer of authority at Vera Cruz are making little headway, due to Carran zas refusal to comply with the condi- tions laid down by the United States.
 The question of the safe conduct out of the country for Mexican refugees, who feel their lives will be jeopardized under the incoming regime is one of the many problems with which the of ficials here are dealing. The next pas senger steamer will leave Vera Cruz next Saturday and assurances have been given that evacuation by the American forces will not take place be- fore next Sunday.
 The most important economic ques- tion under discussion between Carran- ga and the American authorities is the transfer of the customs receipts amounting to more than $1,000,000 col lected during the American occupancy Of Vera Cruz. Word comes to Wash lngton that Carranza has proposed to reimpose these customs duties on all goods upon which payment has been , made to American authorities at Vera Cruz To this proposition the United States government, which received pay 1 ment from the Vera Cruz importers ir good faith, let it be known that unless assurances come that no one will bt subjected to double taxation, the money 1 cS..x

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH]

OTTAWA, oct. 6-Canada will raise immediately and send to the front a second expeditionary force of 10000 men with d first reinforcement of ten per cent, making 22,000 in all.

This force will be organized as expeditiously as pos sible, and arrangements for providing the necessary arms, ammunition and equipment are already in progress. The government is also making prepara- tions to organize and train necessary further endorsements for the first and second expeditionary forces"
 As to the disposition of the forces all ready dispatched the prime minister said:
 According to the report of the chief authorization officer, the total force em- parked at Quebec amounted to nearly 35. 900 men, besides 1000 horsemen and the proper complement of guns and ve- hicles with full equipment for the men and horses.
 The transportation of this force re- quired no less than 31 large steamships. It is probable that upon their arrival | in England, the forces will be organized as follows:
 Field. troops. including the first re- inforcement of ten per cent. 26,40O; line of communication troops, 2,100; total | force at the front 2S,500. ! This will leave about 4,500 for training in Great Britain who will con-

of distilled spirits of cents a gallon was also adopted. Together the pro- posed taxes on liquors will yield an annual revenue of more than fifty million dollars.

A further addition of 25 cents a barrel by the senate democrats would yield another $16,000,00O. With five per cent discount for prompt payment the least derived from beer would be approximately s46,oOO,OO0. After a two hours discussion, the caucus tonight voted, 20 to r, to strike from the proposed bill the tax on gaoslne. The committee reduced the house tax from two cents to one cent gallon.

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-"There is evidence in some quarters that in dividuals and corporations are hoard ing money" said Secretary McAdoo of the treasury in statement.
 Tt is just as reprehensible for them to do so as for the banks. There is no reason why people should not deposit money in the banks in the regular way, with absolute con- fidence, and business should be con- ducted in the usual manner"
 The statement says the following rates are charged by banks, except m exceptional cases: New York, per cent: Chicago, per cent; St. Louis, maximum of per cent, but gen orally or per cent; Boston, 6 per cent, and few loans at 73-1O Fer cent; Philadelphia, 6 per cent.
 The statement says no further list will be published. because the of- lenders are showing a more liberal disposition.
 The secretary says he has a long list of banks with excessive reserves, which he will not hesitate to pub- fish if again necessary.
 Tn a number of places he states i the interest rate was put up arbi- i trarily by banks in concerted action There is no justification for high in terest rates There is no real req son for tight money in this country 1 The federal reserve board took steps to consider the plan proposed ! by middle western bankers for a s15O, O,OOOO00 loan to relieve conditions in the cotton market.
