The fugitive president crossed the
narrow valley through which the
Mexican railway passes. stopping for
a few moments TO watch the liberal
revolutionary forces occupy the
stalled trains; then disappeared
among the mountains.
Ii Is believed certain that Carranza
is heading northeast toward the coast
by the way of Cofre de Perote, with
the intention of boarding a steamer
at small port and escaping from the
country. Judging from the list or
captured officials and generals re-
cetved sunday at the headquarters
in Mexico City OF the liberal revo-
lutiOnary government, few are ac-
companying Carranza.
Inventory OF Funds.
An inventory of the funds Of the
national treasury aboard one of the
trains, shows a great quantity of
gold and silver bars, but compare
lively little minted coin.
A motor truck load OF gold coin,
which the Carranza party attempt
ed TO carry off, broke down and the
soldiers appropriated most of it.
With more than $500 prisoners
already counted, ii is believed that

Era of High Prices.
BY Associated Press :


WASHINGTON. May 1s-Bank-
ers of the country through repre-
sentatives attending a conference
with the federal reserve board
pledged themselves to help the board
in drive on high prices and TO aid
in efforts at dehation.
Specifically, the bankers agreed
unreseryedly 10 support the board 5

and unnecessary borrowings" and TO
seek curtailment OF long standing
non-essential loans as an initial
step toward ending the era of high
prices and speculation.
Boards Policies.
Gov. Harding set forth the board s
policy in a speech designed 10 clari-
fy the general situation and TO eN-
plain the governments views. He
warned of impending dangers in the
cycle of continued borrowings ami
speculation, and appealed 10 bank
crs and the public alike TO be con-
servatiNe q in its demands for bank
ing credit
1T Is evident" Mr. HARDING said.
that the country cannot continue 10
advance prices and wages, to curtail
production, 10 expand credits and
attempt TO enrich itself by non pro-
ductive operations and transactions
without fostering discomfort and
that such a course # persisted in.
will eventually bring on real
crisis
Use Discrimination.
Nr Harding said that everything
must be done" TO expedite the re-
lease of money I'm frozen loans and
in commodities held either for spec
ulative purposes or because of lack
Of transportation and urged bank
ers 10 use the utmost discrimination
in granting new loans.
Mr. Harding deplOred the falline
of in production in virtually all i'm
poTtanJ lines. He said il constituted
a very unsatisfactory element" in
the national problem because il in
indicated a slowing down of indus
tial effort"
Every effort should be made TO
stimulate necessary production, es-
peCially of food products and TO
avoid waste" Mr.. Harding continued.
Planting operations in many sec

and business.
No small measures of the diIi-
culties in the present situation were
attributed by Mr. Harding TO the
nationwide freight congestion. He
added pointedly, however that the
freight tie-up was not responsible
for profteering. The board expects
to deal with prohteering 'in ahother
