posed to do. Such a course would
work such a reduction in the volume

prices which would result would be
most disastrous to the commercial and
industrial interests of the country
At present there are $169,000,OO
silver certificates of treasury notes
outstanding. These are backed by
silver dollars on deposit. In addi-
tion the Treasury has $54,O00,OO0 in
silver dollars stored in its vaults. The
sum in silver dollars in circulation is
not stated, but it runs to many mil
lions of dollars. If the Platt bill be-
comes a law the silver dollars in the
Treasury will all be recoined into dol
lars at the lower weight provided.
Legislation similar to that proposed
by Mr.. Platt was enacted in 1853
when silver in subsidiary coins be
came more valuable in bullion than in
money.

''THE LIGHT OF
WESTERN STARS

At the Nogales Theater today the
"silver screen" will present in after
noon and evening performances
another of Dustin Farnum's great
plays of the magnificent West, en-
titled "The Light of Western Stars"
telling of life on the vast deserts,
rolling ranges where cattle feed,
mountain glens and valleys, and great
fertile savannas (irrigated) with
vivid portrayal of the strong, vigor-
Gus, virile characters that are de-
veloped amid such environments, in
the region indicated. Mr.. Farnum as
an artist is one of the most attrac-
tive personalities in the moving pic
ture world, and his support is of
phenomenal quality.
Many of the scenes were laid at
"Las Moras," the noted ranch of Mr..
w. Beckford Kibbey of Nogales, and
on some of the representations there
appear Mr.. and Mrs. Kibbey with
their little ones, all known well in
Nogales, where Mrs. Kibbey was born
and reared-she was Miss Josephine

HAS WILSON BROKEN WITH HOUSE?
TOO OMUCH SILVER IN COIN
PLAN TO DRILL OIL WELL !
IN TOWNS PUBLIC SQUARE

WOODSFIELD, Ohio, Dec. 8.-A
gushing oil well in the middle of the
beautiful public square, with various
municipal improvements being paid
for by the revenue.
This unique situation is possible
here.
Oil men are trying to interest the
City Council here in the proposal that
such well be sunk. Under the pro-
posal the city's share of the revenue
from such we'll would be large.
Inspiration for this move is based
upon the claim that Woodsfield is on
top of big oil pool. The contention
is strengthened by the fact that big
gusher, drilled next to the city ceme-
terry and within 300 feet of the court
house, has been flowing intermittent
ly since the top of the sand was
reached few days ago.
The well came in snorting and puff
fling, the golden liquid flowing over
a number of persons and covering the
ground with a thick layer for a con-
siderable distance before it was got
ten under control.

Secretary of the Navy, information
that the battleship Arizona will be

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Because
of the rising price of silver bullion
in the great financial marts of the
world, Representative Platt of New
York, chairman of the House Banking
and Currency Committee, has intro
duced bill to reduce the weight of
silver in the American dollar from
1926 grains, Toy, to $50 grains.
"Unless some such measure is en-
acted" predicted Mr.. Platt in his re-
marks upon introduction Of the bill,
stthere will be wholesale melting of
silver dollars into bullion, which
would reduce materially the volume
of coined money in circulation, as well
as a great deal of currency, for out
standing silver certificates will be
presented and dollars they represent
taken from the treasury to convert
into bullion. At the present price of
silver the metal in a dollar is worth
so much more in the form of bullion
than it does as a coin, that there is

The article in the World has Gre
ated decided sensation and it is dis

Various shades of opinion are ex-

MEXICO ON WILSON
President Writes Fall That
He Considers His ResOlu-

With Mexico Hardly Cor

(United Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Today
the President sent Senator Fall let
ter saying he would be gravely con-
cerned to see passed by Congress any
resolution like that introduced into
the Senate by the New Mexico sena-
tor, demanding breaking relations
with Mexico.
Immediately following announce
ment of President Wilson's letter by
Senator Fall, Senator Lodge, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the Senate, declared that
Falls resolution is dead, and will not
be considered farther.
In his letter to Mr.. Fall the Presi-
dent said that passage of the resolu-
ton would constitute reversal of oul
constitutional practice which might
lead to grave confusion with regard
to guidance of foreign affairs. Mr.
Wilson said that such guidance had
been left by the Constitution solely
to the President, and that the Senate's
part in foreign affairs is only ad-
visory.
After receipt of the letter Senator
Fall conferred with Senator Lodge
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee. Lodge then said:

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The article
by Louis Siebold in the World, this
morning, creating the great sensation
of the day, .recited incidents wherein
it is claimed that President Wilson
and Colonel House were not in accord
at the peace conference, and it ex-
pressed a doubt that the President
even knows that Colonel House has
returned to the United States. 1t is
pointed out in the article that since
his return House has seen neither the
President nor Secretary Lansing.
According to the tenor of the ar
ticle it is apparent that House is no
longer factor in the peace negotia-
tions, and it ascribes to Colonel House
belief that the President is
esstranged from diplomats and poll
ticians in the peace conference, and
it declares, also, that they express
belief that the reason is found in the
authority House assumed, and the
mistake he made in the part he played
in selection of Paris as the seat of
the peace conference.
Mr.. Siebold's article alleges also
that action taken by Colonel House
resulted in sacrifice of the freedom
of the seas" feature in President Will
sons fourteen points manifesto, and
his dealings with Orlando; the italian
premier and chief representative In
the conference, in connection with the
dispute over Fiume, are cited as the
principal points upon which the Presi-
dent and Colonel House broke their
extremely friendly and cordial rela-
tions maintained through many years.
