NEAR-PANIC UNMASKED
BY REPORT OF BANKS
Raid on Street Engineered by Big In
terests. Is View Taken
CBy the Internation.I News serviee.)

(By the International News Seryiee.)
New York, Dec. 16.-When the bank
statement appeared in Wall Street to-
day traders who were able to interpret
its figures turned away sick at heart for
1t disclosed officially the secret Of the
near panic of the last few days.
Here are the figures:
Average acknowledgements increased
s2610 800; loans increased s1S.6ss, 900; net
demand deposits increased S5,29 900.
Actual statement up to close Of business
Friday night-reserves increased so. .656,-
go; loans increased s11, ,s72 900; net demand
deposits increased SIS, S2S.0 900.
This statement shows an absurdly
slight reduction of brokers loans at the
end Of the week, as compared with the
amount of Liquidation The statement
means that as fast as the loans have
been reduced in-the hands of the little
people the big people have borrowed the
money and taken the stocks. 1t shows
that the stocks are still in the hands of
brokers. SThe increase in demand de-
posits and in reserve Is due to the i'm
portation of gold
The important feature is that brokers'
loans have really not been reduced
materially. A government investigation
is much desired by Wall Street people
who have full knowledge of the great
speculative coup that has been accepted
with the accidental assistance of the
German peace proposal 1t is now evident
that most of what has happened in the
market would have happened without
anything from Germany in regard to
peace. The peace plea has made 1t q
little easier that is all.
Most important of today's developments
was the official announcement that nego-
tiations were progressing favorably In
regard to a settlement between the rail-
roads and their men over the eight-hour
dispute. Such a settlement will avert
the trouble that has seemed impossible
to avert and will let the big earnings Of
the railroads have their proper influence
on the market for their stocks. Southern
Railway was the leader today closely
followed by Union Pacific and Reading.

MODERN WOODMEN
TO HOLD MEETING
NUMBER OF NEW APPLICATIONS
ARE TO BE VOTED ON, AND
SEVERAL NEW MEMBERS TO
BE OBLIGATED.

An important regular meeting of
the local branch of the Modern Wood
men of America viii take place to-
morrow night, at which all of the
new members of the recently-organiz-
ed lodge are expected to attend. There
will be several new members to be
initiated, while a number of new APP
plications are to be voted on, and both
of these matters should be the means
of bringing out the entire member
ship Of the new branch.
A statement, giving some idea of
the growth of the order was received
from headquarters during the week,
and members of the new branch are
very much interested in the showing
made by the Modern Woodmen of
America. 1t shows that for the short
month of February, when the numer-
Gus lodges were instituted in West
Florida, that total of more than 12,-
600 new members were received,
showing. the largest February bust
ness in the history of the nj. w. Of
A. Local members are trying to make
the Pensacola branch one Of the
strongest in the state, and extra in
ducements are being held out to all
active members to enlist their respec-
tive services in this campaign for
new members.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE
SAYS PEN sACOLA
WATER IS PUREsT
TESTS ARE MADE OF FOUR SAM

AND RESULTS HIGHLY Salts
FACTORY.

From recent analysis made by
Prof. G. F. Chandler, of Columbia
College, N. Y, of water supplied by
the Pensacola waterworks, Pensacola
has the purest water Of any town in
the south, and as the letter says, "The
purest samples of water we have ever
analysed, free from all substances
which would indicate pollution, soft,
admirably fitted for all domestic and
manufacturing purposes"
Four samples Of water were sup
piled. These samples were collected
by a representative of the water
works under different conditions, and
were shipped in stone jugs.
The recent analysis follows in part:
Considering the analysis as a
whole the waters were of exceeding
purity, and many points in the analy-
sis show purity to the greatest ex-
tent"
James F. Phillips, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. has this
analysis and would be glad to show
it to any one who might be inter-
ested.

into Mexico is still interrupted, and
it is believed that rowing bands of
Villa men are responsible for the wire
cutting. Mexican Consul Garcia was
still without further word of the re-
ported fight the Carranza soldiers had
with Villa at FL oso. south of Mani
quipa-
Dispatches received at Mexico City
and Douglas, Ariz., apparently con-
firm reports to Ell Paso from General
Hertani in the field that the troops
Of the defacto government had come
into contact with Villa in the Santa
Clara canyon. General Pershing has
made no mention Of this battle, and
army officers here incline to the be-
lief that it was probably not more
| than an outpost engagement.

any leader stood. They are all ihdi-
vidualists and pay little attention to
any central authority. 1t is positive
that Herrera was bitterly opposed to
the entry of troops into Mexico, and
openly accused Carranza of being
false to the national honor of Mex
leo, but whether he has gone as far
as actual revolt | cannot say"
Yeats said that there was grave un-
rest in Chihuahua and a rising tide
Of hostility against Americans.
AS far as Ell Paso is concerned, in
terest seems about. as equally divided
as events in theSinterior of Mexico,
and the wild alarms over the border
situation which seem to give way in
the morning only to be revived with
every nightfall. These alarms were
given impetus last night when it was
learned that two companies Of the
Seventh infantry had been ordered to
report to the police headquarters in
full marching order. After having
been kept at the police station for
short time, they were sent to the court
house, where they passed the night.
At the same time the military patrols
on the streets were reinforced.
Neither civil nor military authori-
ties would give any explanation of
these maneuvers, and it was impossi-
BILE to learn if there was any reason
to fear an outbreak, either here or in
Juarez. The officers refused to dis
cuss the matters, and the soldiers
said they only knew that they had
orders to march and knew no more
than any one else where they we're
going or why.
The movement that was started yes
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-03-26

there from General Luis Gutierrez,
Carranza's commander in-chief, only
served to make the situation in the
held more puzzling from the view
point of the border.
According to the kilograms from
General Bertani, made public here by
Consul Garcia, the American columns
were cooperating with the Carranza
forces and formed part of the circle
drawn around the bandit chief. Gem
eral Gutierrez, however, made no
reference to General Pershing's
troopss.
Why General Pershing made no re-
port on the battles said to have been
fought remained unsolved. It is known
that the American columns have PEN
etrated the territory where the Villa
bands are operating and word is
eagerly awaited from General Per-
shing of the first clash between the
bandits and the troops Of the United
States.
The veil of mystery which has
dropped over the operations around
Namiquips was rivalled by the con-
tinued insistence of the reports that
General Luis Herrera had turned his
arms against the defacto government.
The latest news to be brought here
from Chihuahua came with the ar
rival of Charles Yeats, an American
mining man, who reached here from
Chihuahua City on an early morning
train. Yeats said that Herrera was
not in the Mexican state capital when
he left and that the city appeared az
much in the dark as to whereabouts
and intentions as Ell Paso.
II have lived twenty years in Mex
ico," he said, land I never left GER
tain form one day to another where

ately distorting border reports In the
hope of bringing about Intervention,
He reiterated that every effort should
be made to prevent the punitive expe-
dition from assuming the color of
war in public discussion.
Wilson wrote his statement with
the complete report from Funston be-
fore him. While the Funston report
was not made public, it was said to
be reassuring and satisfied army Off
Gals that the Carranza government
is doing all in it's power to aid in the
pursuit Of Villa. The raid on Gibson's
ranch IN which three were reported
killed last night, was officially denied
today.
Word from Querataro, the Carranza
capital, said that Carranza had reach
ed a favorable decision on the pro-
posed United States Mexican protocol,
and his reply was in the hands of the
American representative.
Senator Gallinger called the Repub-
lican senator's into a conference to-
day, the sense of which wss that adj
ditional troops should be sent. This
would mean doubtless calling out the
militia. The Republicans will meet
again Monday and it is expected the
storm over the administration policy
will break next week.

the best school average, and each
winner of first place was awarded a
silver medal.
The baseball game between the
Pensacola and DeFuniak teams for
the Chatauqua cup went for ten in
nlngs, and was called on account of
darkness with the score 5 to 5. Each
team had won one game and had
either club been able to win yester-
days contest it would have secured

One of the largest British sailing
vessels to come to this port in many

reached Pensacola in the afternoon,
coming to load cargo for the United

Company, and early Monday viii be
assigned to berth, to discharge sew

The KiImallie is direct from the
war zone, but brought no news OF
more than passing interest. A good
