Los Angeles, Cal, May 2.-The Jap
anese village north Of Santa Monica,
which narrowly escaped landslide two
weeks ago, was practically DESTROYED
by fire before daylight today. Five

effort to check the conflagration by
forming a bucket brigade between the

On Moments Notice
By E. T. conkle.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent.1
El Paso, Texas, May 2.-What were
regarded as final instructions for the
American representatives in the con-
ference with General Alvaro Obregon,
Mexican war minister, arrived from
Washington today and General Hugh
Scott stated that second meeting
would take pace this afternoon. The
time and place will probably be left
to the convenience OF the Mexican mem
bers.
The instructions which the Americans
are to follow conform to the outlines
given in Washington dispatches and
confirm statements that the conference
will have no power to decide future
movements of American troops in Mex
leo and that there will be no immediate
withdrawal of the United States expedi-
tion.
Win Not Ezscuss 1t.
At the next session, Scott win adj
wise Obregon that Washington refusel
to consent to discuss at this conference
the question of immediate withdrawal
Obregon is expected politely to decline
to discuss any other question until
proposition of having the American
forces leave his country is settled, In
which case the conference can only adj
iourn in a deadlock.
0bregon, in statement to the United
Press yesterday, said that, in such an
event, he would report the whole sit
uation to President Carranza.
This was taken to indicate that fail
ure of the conference would be fol-
lowed by further diplomatic exchanges
rather than by military operations. A
break is considered unlikely.
The date of the American expedi-
tiOn IS final withdrawal and details of
cooperation with Carranzista troops
while hunting Francisco Villa in Mex
leo are expected to be fixed by nego-
tiatiOns between Secretary Lansing and
Mexican Ambassador Arrendondo in
Washington.
They Want Intervention.
Interventionists are still busy along
the border, especially in ri Paso, trying
to bring about situation that will
make intervention inevitable. The gen
eraI belief here is that they viii fail
unless some hothead among the Amer
lean or Mexican forces permits a clash
to occur, which might be so serious as
to render peace impossible.
In the meantime, both the Mexican
and American armies are inactive. AT
some points along the line taken by the,
American expedition the forces are only
few miles apart. No alarm is felt
for General Pershing's command as it
has been heavily reinforced, strongly
equipped and proviaoned to meet any
situation which may arise. There are
now $1,000 Americans in Mexico, all ex-
cept about 200 along the line from the
border to Namiquipa, protected by en-
trenched and fortified camps General
Funston is confident that the Amer
leans could hold out indefinitely against
much larger forces Of Mexieans, and
could take the offensive IL 1t were de-
sirable.

HAMPERING
THE SMALL BANkS

The happy thought which Mr.. NC
Adoo developed and which Mr.. Bur
Lesson found the means to carry out is
likely to have a disastrous effect upon
the small banks of the country.
The Federal Reserve board, in trying
to find some way to demonstrate its
usefulness conceived the notion of col
Iecting checks all through the coun-
try; and, in those communities where
there are no member banks, the post
office was called upon to render first
aid to the scheme. Accordingly Mr..
Burleson ordered the postmasters to
receive checks drawn upon such
banks and to collect them-thus TAX
ing away from the small state banks
a large and lucrative share of their
business.
The method was quite of a piece
with the general policy of govern
ment as developed in these days of
new freedom"-which is to put the
government into direct and generally
ruinous competition with individuals
who would consequently be put out OF
business and thus come to realize the
new freedom" in a very literal sense.
There are about eight thousand of
these small banks throughout the
country who derive no inconsiderable
amount of their revenue from the ex-
change upon checks which come to
them for collection-and it is manifest
hat if the machinery of the p~ostoffice
department is to be used, without
charge, to transact this business, the
result will be either to put the small
bank out of business or to compel it
to increase its charge for making or
binary loans, thus %hampering, in turn,
the merchants and others who do bus
mess with it.
Naturally. there was an cutlery. But
it ayailed but little until one Claude
Kitchin, Democratic floor leader in
Congress, discovered that there are
many banks in his state of North Car
DINA which will be affected by the
operation of the McAdoo-Burleson
scheme; whereupon he began to make
the air vocal with his cutlery. Up to
this time Messrs. McAdoo and Burle-
son had been very Indifferent to the
---
But when Claude Kitchin marched in
and told them that if they did not
revise their orders the state of North
Carolina would go Republican by
$4,000, they became very different.
Hampering a banker-who generally
is a Republican anyway-and hamper
ing the Democratic party are widely
differing propositions.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-08-15

The shipping bill is not yet passed
though the administration and the
Democratic leaders in Congress are
~exerting every effort of power and
pleading which they possess to push
the measure to an early and success
full vote. Before that time comes, how
ever, there will be ample debate in
the Senate-both on the bill on its
original passage and on the confer
ence report which is sure to follow
and we shall be much chagrined if the
Republican orators are not able to
force from the reluctant majority
some statement relative to the real
motive for clinging to such a social
istic and revolutionary measure. 1t
cannot be mere faulty which impels
Mr.. Wilson and his secretarial son-in-
law and the others who are pressing
the shipping legislation to their
course. The ugly rumors which once
attended discussion of the measure
have never been wholly put to flight
and If the bill should nov become a
law with these sinister surmises still
in existence it would be more than a
pity-it would be a shame.
