Declaring thnt "a grave situation Impends In the United States," Senator McCormick fill.) to-day called up hla resolution asking the Federal Be servo Board for Information as, to measures It Is taking to end currency and credit Inflation and to moblllro credit to move the year's crops. The resolution was adopted after a brief discission, which developed that others, besides Senator McCormick regard the situation as very serious. "Unless the reserve board takes steps to forestall a credit stringency we shall have something approximating a panic, said Senator McCormick. Tho Senator declared "that very much tho same symptoms of economic and credit dis orders that were manifested In 1907 are appearing to-dny." Senator Gronna (N. D.. chairman ot the Agriculture Committee, criticised the Reserve Board's raising the rates of Interest. "Tils', he said, Is hurting the farmers. He charged that preference In tho lending of money Is being given to automobile manufacturers nnd "others who can place tho burden on others." Senator McCormick agreed with this, and said that vast amounts of capital wero being used In" tho manufacture of silk stockings, phonographs and all kinds of non-essentials. "Unless steps aro taken to-day to mo bilize tho necessary credit resources farmers will be hard put to It to find money this fall when It Is necessary for their very lives," Senator McCormick stated. Senator McCumber (N. D.) questioned whether there was any serious danger as long as warehouse receipts wero good for cash. Senator Kenron (Iowa) told the Sen ate that somo banks were forced to pay 10 to 1J per cent for money, and that this was seriously affecting tne aoimy facilities by all the freight steamship of farmer8 to gct credit In any part of the lines that have teen running regularly country Ho wanted to know whether out ot New York." the Feierai Reserve system haB been No Improvement Noted, There was no apparent Improvement in me mSni suuauu.. , , ,r , t 0 thelr capltal ncxt and railway terminals are clogged with i' tn ",,. , v established for tho nubile Rood or as a money making Institution.

National Chairman Expresses 'Appreciation of Their Work. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Repub lican National Committee, in a brief talk to more than 1.000 women support ers of the various Republican candidates tot Presidential nomil ailon, gathered ln the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel yesterday afternoon, expressed the appreciation of the organization for what the women ore doing.

State, county and district leaders. $M-s Mary Garrett Hay. chairman of . women's division of the Republican National Committee, was unable to at tjW and in her place Mrs. John T. Pratt Continued from First Page. Secretary of State tor the Colonies haa been following a policy which would re quire that acquisition ot oil rights by a British company must provide that not over 25 per cent of Its capital be held by aliens and that a majority of Its directors shall be British with other pro- visions to Insure absolute untisn con trol. In Bolivia oil lands belong to the State, except those already taken legally by private owners. Any person may freely prospect the public lands without license, and It Is believed there are no restrictions against aliens, in v.oiom- hi- niiena h&va tho same' rights as na tlvcs to locate and own mines where euch rights are secured by treaty or where the aliens' national laws give rprlnroenl rlchta to Colombians. In Costa Rica there is said to be no distinction between natives and rorcign iriL The aam Is true ln the Dominican Republic. The proposed now mining law provides that petroleum or natural gas will be the property ot tne nauon. Ecudador petroleum or natural gaB will be tho property of the nation. In Ecua dor petroleum mines are reserved to the State. There ore said to do no roami. iinn rilxrrlmlnatlne ocalnst aliens. In Guatemala all petroleum Is reserved to the nation and leases ror expiouanon may be made only to active or natural lied citizens. In Mexico the new constitution pro vides that the nation must directly re tain ownership of mineral, petroleum and gas. Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization may acquire tanas, mmva and oil. Similar rights may be granted to foreigner If they agree to be con sidered Mexicans In respect of such property and "not to lnvoko tho protec tion of their governments In respect to the same under penalty ot forfeitures. Within 100 kilometers from the frontier and 60 kilometers from the seacoast no foreigner may acquire any ownership of land or water. Constitution Interpreted. The Attorney-General of Mexico ,has Interpreted the provisions ot tho now constitution thus : "Landed property oi all kinds Is covered by the constitutional provision, and only Mexican Individuals and associations may acquire It. Aliens may acquire It either directly from the nation or from other Individuals by com plying with the conditions; that Is. agreeing not to appeal to their own coun tries for protection. Allen corporations shall ln no event acquire such property." In Persia Americans arc barred, be cause the Anglo-Persian 011t Company has exclusive rights for Blxty years from 1901. Its concession has been greatly strengthened by the Anglo-Perslan agree ment of 1318. which places the Persian national, civil, financial and military administrations under British supervi sion. Replying to tho Senate's Inquiry as to steps the Government Is taking to re move restrictions operating against Americans, the department points out that generally the restrictions against aliens fall on aliens generally and there fore are not discriminatory against Americans, appears Justifiable in International law. The restrictions are largely enforce able by regulations giving great discre tion to the executive. The State De partment has endeavored to get detailed Information of particular cases In which Americans have suffered with a view to making representations to the Govern ment Involved. Representations have been made to tho Government of Colombia for fuller protection of American mining and oil rights. Philadelphia, May 17. All political parties In Pennsylvania will bold their primary elections to-morrow. 'Tho Re publican and Democratic parties each will elect seventy-six delegates to their respective national conventions. Pres idential preferences are not directly In volved in the Republican primary, the contests being largely over the per sonnel of the delegation and to settle factional differences. Edward R. Woo1, a retired Phila delphia business man, 13 the solo can didate on the Republican presidential preference ballot Attorney General A. Mltchcl Palmer was the only candidate to file nomination papers on the Demo cratic presidential ballot but during the last few days the faction opposing the Attorney General for control of the or ganization in Pennsylvania has been urging Its followers to wrlto tho namo of William O. McAdoo on the ballot There are fifteen candidates for the twelve places for delegate at largo on the Republican ticket The regular Re publican State organization lias a slato of twelve candidates and some of them are being opposed by the Varo faction In Philadelphia, All fifteen are under stood to be for Governor William C Sproul aa tlret choice and several of them are announced as for Gen. Leonard Wood as second choice. Senators Ven rose and Knox, Governor Sproul and the Mayors ot Pittsburg and Philadelphia aro among tho twelve slated candidates. Senator Penrose Is unopposed for rvliom- Inatlon to the Senate. The faction opposed to Attorney Gen eral Palmer, headed by Judge Uugeno C. Bonnlwell of Philadelphia, has placc.l a complete ticket ln tho field against the Palmer candidates. The twelve Pa.rwr men for delegates at large have prem ised to support the popular choice of the party In tho Stato 'or Prci'.'.ont. while the Bonnlwell twelve do not make any promises. One of tho hardest fights In tho Demo cratic primary Is tho effort of tho Bon nlwell faction to defeat Joseph P. Guffey of Pittsburg, Palmer candidate for mem ber of tho National Committee from Pennsylvania. Judge Bonnlwell is the opposing candidate. Attorney-General Palmer Is the present member. In 1'enn Bylvanla the Democratic National Conv mltteeman Is elected at the Statewide Primary. The Republicans nnd Democrats will also nominate candidates for United States Senator, Stato Treasurer, Auditor- General, thirty-six Congressmen, twenty tix State Senators and !07 members o( the lower house of the Legislature. In addtlon these parties will elect mem hern to the State committees and to local committees.

In 1898 when the Fifth Avenue Office then the Fifth Avenue Trust Company was first estab lished, business did not extend much above Thirty fourth Street. North of Forty-secorfd the Avenue was entirely residential. The carriagc-and-pair were fash ionable; the motor car was still a novelty. ' Within twenty years, Fifth Avenue one of the famous thoroughfares of the world has become notable for the beauty and, distinction of its buildings, the variety and character of its shops, the diversity of its interests, the fascinating panorama of its traffic. The Fifth Avenue Office of this Company has shared in the growth which has come to Fifth Av enue. The removal of the Office to its new location is typical of the constant changes along the Avenue, and is indicative of a purpose to keep pace with the full est development of this section of the city.
