bankers to comment In any way upon
their interest in the situation and the
surprise occasioned by the reported

which the news was received. Other
banking houses and institutions that
have competed for the business were
without direct confirmation by cable,
but it has been generally understood
that blair 4, Co. Inc, have had Bid

The Car Shortage Danger

The danger Of an early shortage OF
transportation is due less to the
amount Of equipment in bad order than
to the fact that there has been within
recent years great decline in the
number of locomotives and Of cars
built and put into service. according
to "The Railway Age" which in it's
current issue says: Development of
the railways had already seriously
slowed down before the big in
crease in business came in 1915
The decline in their development has
been much greater since 1916 than il
was before. If the increase in traffic
now coming is to be anywhere near
that in 1915 the railways will find ii
exceedingly difficult, If not actually i'm
possible, to cope with it."

Mexican Petroleum skyrockets Again

A sensational advance of more than
ten points in Mexican Petroleum yes
terday, despite rise in the call money
rate to 5 per cent, served to recall the
runlors that were current when the
stock went above 200 earlier in the
year. Among these was the old yarn
that the present common stock will be
done away with as listed security
through its exchange for Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum shares. Another, of
more recent origin, has to do with the
present dividend rate, which rumor
says may be increased at the next
meeting Of directors. The rapidity of
yesterdays upward squirt suggested
that it was caused partly by hurried
short covering.

An advance in the call loan rate to
5 per cent yesterday, the first time this
level has been attained since August
10, was associated entirely with prepa-
rations for to-day's disbursements The
rise had little influence on the fnan-

Fascist Group
Gaining Ground
In Parts Mexico

Mexico City, Dec. "a (By A. P.)-
The fascist movement, which at its
inception in Jalapa several months
ago, was ridiculed as of no import
ance, has made such rapid strides
during the past few weeks, that high
government officials now are recog-
nzing it as a political factor to be
reckoned with in the near future.
Reports from various cities Of
clashes in which the fascist have
taken part against the radicals indi-
cate that the movement is gaining
impetus.
Senior De La Huerta, minister Of
the treasury, speaking to the news
paper men Saturday, admitted the
presence of fascist organizations in
Mexico, but he described fascism as
mere exotic plant" and as "the
| conservatives war against the MeXi-
can people,"
Fascist headquarters here report
that the movement is receiving hun
dreds of new adherents daily and that
preparations are in progress for a
national convention which is to be
held in Mexico City during the second
week in January, at which every
state in the republic will be repres-
ented.

Mexican President
Asks Pardon for
Rebel Prisoners

Mexico City, Dec 24.-(By A. P.)
A request that amnesty be granted
all rebel prisoners. including those
already sentenced and these await
ing trial. was contained, in bill sent
to the Chamber of Deputies last
night by President Obregon. The
president urged immediate passage
OF the measure SO that it might be-
come effective January /.
Wholesale pardons for all revolu-
tionists against the central govern
ment, are provided for in the meas
ure, which assures the Chamber of
Deputies that introduction is
prompted by the knowledge that all
Mexico is at peace and that the re-
lease of the rebel prisoners will not
disrupt national order. The bill
points out that the federal armies
everywhere are triumphant; that ex-
petitions originating in the United
States have been suppressed and the
various leaders Of them either have
died in battle or before firing squads;
and that leniency should be shown
the prisoners because either they
had a false conception of loyalty or
were merely striving to keep prom
ises which they could not break"
Coinciding with the presidents re-
guest for amnesty for the rebels was
an order dispatched today by the
War Department dissolving the nu-
mcrous rural auxiliary military
bodies. which. throughout the past
two years, have acted as home de

Paris, Dec. "a. (By A. P.)-Sarah
Bernhardt, the famous actress, suf-
fcred relapse during the early
hours this morning, when she had
another fainting spell which lasted
for a considerable time.
Courage alone is said to be sus-
tanning the actress. Her physical
strength is declared to be fast ebbing
away. The doctors who constantly
are in attendance upon her expressed
the opinion this evening that only a
miracle could save Bernhard.
Christmas eve in Bernhardt's little
mansion IN the Boulevard Periere was
a silent one. The servants and 9TH
ers of the household moved noise
lessly through the semi darkness of
the halls. which usually at the
Christmastide glowed with brilliance.
Bernhardt's seventy-year- odd butler,
Arthuer. was sad of eye and dis
consulate. Madame is very low" he
said With quivering lips. MADAME
was progressing favorably," he add
ed, until this relapse"
Professor Obissier, chief of the
medical staff attending Bernhard,
said to The Associated Press this
evening:
while we still hold hopes for her
recovery, it is certain that Madame
Bernhard never again will face the
footlights. Absolute reposc and quiet
for many long months are essen
tial"
During the physicians talk with
the correspondent several lifelong
friends of Bernhard entered the
drawing room and stood beneath a
large buffalo head presented to
Madame Bernhard during one of her
trips through America. They desired
to go into the sick room, but the
doctor declined to permit them to do
so. Madame must see no one" he
said. "The least excitement might
prove Immediately fatal"
Madame Bernhard is being kept
alive with consomme with the white
of an egg beaten into it. She is be-
ing Siven no solid food whatsoever.
She is gradually growing weaker.
THE last Italian trip greatly ia
tigucd her." declared Arthuer, the
butler, who added somewhat bitterly,
and there was no need of it,"
Madame Bernhard is said to real
ize the hopelessness of the situation,
but to be meeting the crisis with the
same fortitudc as she has met many
other crises in her IS years Of life.
