DECISION OF
RESERVE BOARD
To Date Only $4,000 of Cotton
Loan Fund Has Been Ap.
piled For.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The fed
eral reserve board. acting as the
central committee of the $135,0O0, 900
cotton loan fund, decided tonight not
to comply with requests recently re-
ceived to extend the time limit for
loan applications beyond February
l. Applications mailed on that day
will be the last considered.
1t developed today that bona flde
applications to the New York commit
tee In charge of actual administration
OF the fund amount only tU about
$4,000. This fact is taken here 10
indicate that probably not more than
q few millions of the SUM subscribed
ever will be applied for. In view Of
this, members Of the board felt that 1t
was ECt just to keep all thc money OF
the subscribing banks tied up for 8
period beyond February /.
In connection with its action on the
loan fund the board annouced that
w. p. G. Hardig, its southern mem-
ber, shortly would visit each OF the
southern federal reserve banks to dis
cuss with them questions Of discount
rates, eligible paptr and other mat
ters. He also will Investigate ana re-
port on the cotton market aud the
probable acreage Of the next crop.
Although the statement does not
show, it became known tonight that
one of the purposes Of Mr.. Harding's
visit is to talk with southern bank
ers about the transfer of government
funds to reserve banks. When Sec
retary McAdoo first broached this
subject to the board nearly six weeks
ago several board members questioned
the. policy of such transfers.
Since that time, however. Attorney
General Gregory has held that the
reserve board is sn' independent CO.
ordinate branch of the government
entirely distinct from the treasury
department At tonight's meeting 1t
was said no opposition was aroused
to the plan.
Mr.. Harding is expected to deter
mine the actual needs, of reserve banks
and through them the needs Of mem
ber banks. He probaly will discover
whether reserve banks actually desire
government funds and his report will
put the board in q position to give
intelligent advice In the matter.

. SENDS WARNING
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
MAY FOLLOW GEN. CAR.
RANZA'S THREAT
TO SEIZE FOREIGN
OWNED OIL PLANTS
The British Fleet Obtains Much
Of Its Fuel From the Tampico
Fields IN Mexico.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The Unit
ed States government has warned
General Venustiano Carranza that
serious consequences may follow
MS threatened conflscation OF foreign
owned oil plants in Tampico. This
announcement was made by Secretary
Bryan today after O conference with
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. the British
ambassador. and representatives OF
American oil concerns.
Already the Carranza officials have
enforced virtual embargo On the ex-
portation Of oil by big English COM
pany.
The British ambassador. ct Mr..
Bryan's suggestion. sent to the Brit
ish consul at Vera Cruz an urgent
protest for General Carranza. AS the
British fleet obtains much of It's fuel
from the TampiCo fields, the possihil-
ity OF serious complications over Car
ranza's attitude is fully realized by
the American government.
Mr.. Bryan said today that the for
eign owned oil companies feared
confiscatIon of their we'll" by Carran-
za and that today's action had been
taken to forastall such action. A de-
cree issued by the Carranza govern
ment makes It impossible to some
foreign oil companies to operate with
out the consent Of the Carranza au-
thorities and it is said some Ameri-
can concerns have been forced to pay
30 heavy tax that they have been
compelled to shut down.
The prospect OF battle on the out
skirts Of Tampico is expected here to
develop the situation further. II Villa
forces gre victorious, solution of the
problem is confidently expected be-
cause Of previous assurances by the
Villa-Gutierre7 officials.
The following summary Of the sit-
uatton In Tampico is O telegram from
that point dated late yesterday was
me6e' public by the state department:
The line between Monterey and
Tampico has been cut and American,
cplonists in isolated 2 districts. are
aending women to Tampico, which
place IS still anticipating an attack.
The food supply Is said 20 be short.
Many Americans have. been thrown
out OF work on account OF the closing
down OF the petroleum companies. On
account OF the recent petroleum de-
cree and lack OF confidence in con-
stitutionalist money. business is said
TO ne demoraiized. ii is said tnat in
the Tampico consular district there
