SIMMONS FAVORs MEASURE
Southern Banks Are AbundantIy Able
to Loan the Money Necessary to
the Moving Of Crops.

Washington.-The bill to allow
banks to loan more than 10 per cent
on their capital to one man or con-
cern on non perishable property se-
curities was discussed again in the
senate.
Senator Simmons advocated it's pas
sage on the ground that 1t would help
to move the crops Of the south. He
said it was absolutely safe and had
been practiced in the south and other
sections Of the country for years. The
measure has already passed the house
and will pass the senate when a vote
is reached which will be within the
next day or two. All southern bank
ers and cotton buyers dealers are in
terested in it.
Urging the measure Senator Sim
mons said:
$50 far as my section OF the coun-
try is concerned, do not believe there
Is any scarcity Of money at this time
l think the banks are perfectly able
to loan all the money necessary to
carry on the business of the country.
I'm agricultural states like mine
they all recognize the fact that at
certain seasons of the year more
money is needed for the business Of
moving the crop than at other sea-
sons. We market our crops in the
fall.
''For years and years the south, at
this season OF the year, has been COM
PEELED to draw heavily upon the great
central cities for money to move the
crop, but now, for the first time in
the history the south has sufficient
money of its own without calling
upon the banks in the center of the
country and they are ready to Joan
this money. There is no hesitation
on the part of the banks. They are
not afraid OF the credit; they simply
ask permission to loan their custo-
mers the money necessary to carry on
the business OF the community.

THE PRESIDENT IS
A VERY SICK man
CONSULTATION HELD BETWEEN
PHYSICIANS WHO AGREE ON
LINE OF TREATMENT.
CONFINED TO BED ALL DAY
There 10 Much Speculation In Capital
As to the Presidents Real Con-
dltion and Concern Expressed.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson is
"a very sick man." and his condi-
tion is less favorable" 1t was said by
DR.. Cary T, Grayson. the Presidents
physician. in a statement issued at 10
o'clock p. m. from the White House.
The following bulletin was issued
by DR.. Grayson:
THE President is very sick man.
His condition is less favorable and
he has remained in bed throughout
the day.
President Wilson'S condition was
not so favorable and DIR. Grayson, his
personal physician, held two hour
consultation late in the day with a
nerve specialist and three other ply
sicians at the White House. Also for
the first time since the President re-
turned from his interrupted country
wide tour in the interest of the peace
treaty, he was compelled to keep to
his bed all day.
1t was explained that this did not
necessarily mean the President had
received serious setback, as he was
to be expected to have bad days from
time to time with the nervous ailment
from which he is suffering.
The decision to call in a nerve spe-
cialist, DIR. Grayson said, was made as
precautionary measure
There is much speculation in the
capital as to the Presidents real con-
dition, and concern is generally ex-
pressed.
