rEH1s Is the crucial day in the campaign for new

Committees at the meeting held In the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms last evening were encouraging and
when the committees get together this evening for
other hoped that practically entire amount
needed will have been subscribed. Chairman ]. NJ
Hartley OF the general committee Of the Chamber OF
Commerce made few brief remarks the meeting last
night but right to the point and gave all pres
emit incentive for vigorous work today Farmont
needs o new hotel and the men who back OF the
movement making earnest effort get the need
ed amount to make the hotel certainty.
One change in the general program was made last
night. It had to do with the first payments. 1t was
rst intended that % percent of the each person
subscribed should be payable January first, but In
order to make the payments easier It was decided to
make the first payment due on January Is and to make
II 10 percent OF the amount subscribed and to make an
other payment OF is percent come due about February
10 and thereafter to follow the original schedule Of
payments as set forth in the subscription cards.
Those who are approached for subscriptions should
keep In mind that they are subscribing to community
benefit well as taking stock in what should be pay

THE PRESIDENT ON PANzAMERI.
CANISM

Il A LTHoUGH President Wilson in his Columbus adj
~ dress made one or two pointed references to the
coming peace and to the influence which the Amer.
lean people might bring to upon the task of making
1t permanent he was speaking to business men chiefly
on business topics and naturally laid greatest upon
the need Of organizing the economic and Industrial forces
of the country to meet the worlds need This was In
effect an ampfcaon of that portion Of his address to
Congress when he emphasized the aspect of the
broader problem of national preparedness But it u.s.
perhaps not without significance that the President re-
turned to the Virginia bill of rights as furnishing the
guide Tor his own policy in dealing with other nations
OF this hemisphere, and applied to Mexico specifically

Mexican problem but in the development OF closed rela

IN tu recognition OF this fact that the President used
the Columbus speech as the opportunity for another de-
tense or explanation of his determination to allow no.
oody to butt in to alter the Mexican government for the
mexican people, 1t may be pertinent In passing to won
der how the present position of the President can he
onced with his efforts to drive Huerta from the CITY Of
Mexico and with his policy of supplying arms to Hueras
enemles But the more immediate point OF interest is
the implication contained in the Presidents
ance that he intends to interpret the Monroe Doctr
as meaning that the United States must never MEDIA

out that 1t will resoutely uphold the doctrine that M
other Power shall be allowed to intervene, no matter
what the provocation.
While the United States is being urged to formulate

NO 00NE IS INJURED
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT Three Machines in Mix-Up at Avenue D and Twenty
 First Street

A three-cornered automobile accident occurred on Avenue D and Twenty first street yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock in which three machines were damaged, one very badly and the other two slightly. The participants in the mixup. in which no one was hurt, were Bob McCarty, Jr., B. A. Schroeder and Ira Dement,
 The exact circumstances surrounding the accident were hard to obtain on ac- count of each of the parties to the ac- cident having different version of the affair It is said that Bob McCarty's s car was standing still on Avenue D and Twenty-frst street, and that the ma- chimes of Schroeder and Dement, collded as they each tried to turn at the inter- section of Avenue D and Twenty-first street. Schroeder was about to turn into Twenty-frst street and Dement, was about to turn into Avenue D, when the two machines crashed together, and then careened into McCarty's machine which enacted the role of innocent bystander. McCarty's machine was the most dilapi- dated one after coming out of the melee.
 McCarty preferred cnarges against De- ment and Schroeder, charging them with reckless driving. Dement, was put under bond last night. The crash following the collision caused much excitement and a large crowd gathered

SENATOR BANKHEAD
 MUCH SURPRISED AT UNDERWOOD 'SSTAND
Senior Senator Is Opposed to Rule of ClOture in Senate. To Attend Conference
 November 29

Senator Banlhead was surprised when informed through The Age-Her-
 ald that Senator Underwood had de- elared for a rule of cloture by means of which to limit debate in the Sem bate.
 The senior senator was a visitor yes terday. When interviewed at the Ho- tel Morris, he gave expression to his surprise
 q am opposed to the rule of cloture and such a rule will not be adopted in my opinion before the passage of many years--if at all. I was surprised when I read the interview said to have been authorized by Senator Underwood. 1t Is barely possible that he was misquoted. For if I remember correctly he in informed me that he favored the put ting of certain limitation on debate
 rather than rule which would operate automatically and in peremptory man ner.
 "Practically every member of the Senate would favor some scheme to | prevent an infinite extension of de-
 l bate. But I have never known bad | bill to win after thorough debate. all though it Is possible that some good l bills have been temporarily filibustered | out of commission
 Cecil A. Beasley. private secretary l to Senator Bankhead, who was also a visitor yesterday. expressed an opinion to the effect that Senator Underwood had not been fully quoted. He added | that the morning and afternoon papers of Washington had editorially criti- cized the expression credited to the junior Alabama senator.
 Senator Bankhead stated that he had received summons from Senator Kern
 to attend a conference of Senate demo- 1 crats November 20 on proposed | change of the rules governing pro | cedure in the Senate. but that he ! would in all probability be unable to attend Senator Bankhead recently suf- l fered the loss of grandson, William l Perry, who died of typhoid fever in | Jasner and while he did not discuss the subject he presented visible proof
 1 of the grief he had undergone.
