Statement Made by Officials
!
of the Institution Sets
Rumors at Rest.
TALK OF REVOLT ENDED
Some Surprise Expressed by
New YorJc Financiers at
the Announcement.
NTDW YORK, Jan. 23. Tho National
City bank, tho largest Institution of Us
kind In the country, will In all prob
ability enter tho federal reserve system
to be created by the new currency law.
It was learned from officials of the bank
today. This put at rest rumors recently
current to the effect that the National
City bank contemplated surrendering' Its
federal charter and merging with the
Corn ISxchunpo bank, the largest stale
Institution. Such an Institution would
create a slate bank whose combined re
sources probably would overshadow uny
regional reserve bank which -might be es
tablished at this center.
Jt Is probable no official statement
will be made until the return of Frank A.
Vanderllp, president of the National City
bank, who Is now In Paris conferring
with James Stlllman, the chairman of
the board of directors.
Surprise Expressed.
Financiers not affiliated with the City
bank expressed surprise when Informed
of Its Intention, chiefly becauso of the
opposition to the currency bill maintained
by some of its leading officers. More
over, the misunderstandings said to ex
ist betwoon the bank and treasury de
partment at Washington .gave rise to the
belief that tho bank was seriously con
sidering the organization of an institu
tion which would enable it to becomo a
formidable competitor of the now reserve
system.
The differences between the City bank
and tho treasury department began with
the expulsion from the department of a
woman employee of the bank who for
years gathered statistical material in tho.
department for the City bank.
Makes It Unanimous.
It was the opinion of other bankors
today that the attitude of tho City bank
assures the entrance of virtually all the
other national banks of Importance In
this section of tho country whose oppo
sition to the law has been most pro
nounced. That the City bank strongly favored
the so-called AldrJch central bank idea
was indicated by the views given by
President Vandcrlip before the national
legislators. Later, as the Owpn-Glass
bill assumed more definite shape, ho ex
pressed the opinion that It was "SO per
cent good," while still objecting to some
of Its provisions.
Ends Kevolt Talk.
Talk of a revolt from tho national sys
tem by reason of the enactment of the
new law has converged largclv around
tho City bank and- otlier banks with
which it was known to possess Influ
ence through stock ownership by officials
of the bank and Interlocking directorates.
Some of the largest natlonul banks of
tills city have already applied for mem
bership In the new system, including tho
Chase National, the Park National, the
Fourth National and tho National Dank
of Commerce. This leaves very few banks
of the llrst rank yet to be heard from.
One of tho chief causes of opposition
on tho part of the New York banks to
tho now federal system has been the
belief that they would bo deprived of
tho power of keeping funds of out-of-town
institutions, which aggregate hun
dreds of millions of dollars and tho han
dling of which lias been extremely profit
able. Under the new system these funds
will be diverted to the regional banks.

Expelled by United Mine
Workers of America.
PRESIDENT LOSES
SCALE COMMITTEE
Hereafter the Delegates Will
Make Selections; Protest
From Trinidad Is Read
to Convention.
rNDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 23. On
charges that it was an organization
maintained by a detective agency for
the purpose of "gotting a spy into
the convention," local union No. 970
of Pocahontas, W. Va., was expelled
by the convention of United Mine
Workers of America today. M. D.
Whitesell, the delegate accredited to
the union, was not present vhon the
action was taken.
Tho attack, on the union was started
by A. E. Watkins of YorkviUe, Ohio,
an international board member, who
asserted that it was dangerous for a
union minor to appoar in tho neighbor
hood of Pocahontas.
"Show the spy to us and wo '11 take
care of him," shouted Thomas Cairns
of Charleston, V7. Va., president of the
district in which Pocahontas is located.
Tho resolution to expel tho union from
tho organization was adopted unani
mously, amid chcora. Tho convention
votod to further a campaign, for fed
eral old ago and mothers' pension, laws
and for liability and compensation
laws.
Must Join the Miners.
Carpenters omployed in and about the
mines must give up thoir membership
in the Brothorhood of- Oarpontors and
Joiners and affiliato with the miners,
according to a resolution adopted to
day. "William 0. Green, international
sccrolary-troaBurer, announced that
stops looking to this action wero taken
at- the convention of tho American Fed
eration of Labor in Seattle. He said
tho minors' officials had conferred
with the carpenters' officials in Scat
tic and that tho carpen'tera had agTeed
to tho changes. It was pointed out that
siuco tho minors had taken a stand
for industrial unionism, it was the duty
of tho miners to include over; work
man omployed about tho mines in their
organization.
Tho question of tho consolidation of
tho United Mino Workers of America
with tho Wostcrn Federation of Miners
was brought up, but postponed until
the fratornal delegatos from the metal
miners could bo hoard. Charlos IL
Mover, president of tho "Western Fodo
ration, of, Miners, is expected to attend
the convention later.
Thd -proposition for tho formation of
a national labor party, which was pro
posed at tho convention of tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor, -was voted
down without debate. The convention
already has passed a resolution stating

CHICAGO. Jan. 23. Edward W. Hlnes;
special attorney for the interstate, com
merce commission, left here for Washing
ton today to prepare a petition to the
federal court that will establish one of
tho most Important precedents over put
In effect to fix tho powers of the .com
mission to force answers from unwilling
witnesses. The commission's petition to
Federal Judge Landls io compel F. W.
Ellis, vice president of the Armour IJe
frlgcrator .Car Linos, to answer Ques
tions in tho rate hearing here, will bo
lied Tuesday, air. Hlnes said lie expect
ed Immediate action on it.
"Ruling on our petition will establish
how far witnesses may go in refusing
to testify," said Mr. Hlnes. "This ques
tion Is now. In a previous application for
a ruling, E. IT. Hnxriman was allowed to
declino to testify, but. tnu ground taken
then was that tho commission did not
contemplate making a complaint, but
morely was seeking Information on w?ii;h
to base possible recommendations. This
Is an entirely different case, as there Is
no question that a complaint may be
mado on tho basis of this hearing."
Mr IJlnes stated that tho rebate ques
tion was involved in tho Inquiry- Into

"Evon if these refrigerator cars are
privately owned and are not common
carriers," he said, "the commission will

wise, rebates may not be accorded."

The f.xhlblts filed in the contest today
were a certified copy of a deed showing
President Wilson to be the owjier of the
land, as trustee for his wlf, and a let
ter from Mrs. Wilson, who, answering a
query of Goddard. said she had pahl

HUERTA REGIME I
" IS EXPECTED TO I
GQLLAP5E SDQN I
How Events Will Be Shaped H
When Structure Falls Is
Now a Matter of
Importance.
SENOR DE LA BARRA H
AGAIN MENTIONED H
Some Diplomats Believe He
Could Compose Situation
Until People of Mexico
Choose a President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Conviction in
administration circles that the Huerta
regime in Mexico is rapidly approaching
a collapse has led to much discussion
here of the nature of John Liud's frc
qucnt conferences with Mexican leaders.
Belief Is expressed that President WII
son's representative Is sun-eying the situ
ntlon to dctcrmiuo how events will shape
themselves when the Huerta structure
Mr. Llnd's latest conferences with
Jesus Florcs Magon and other Mexican
statesmen have interested members of
the diplomatic corps, who pointed out
tonight that In view of President Wil
son's reiterated statements that he would
not recognize Huerta nor any of the
things for which he stands, the Amorl
can envoy might naturally bo Induced to
throw out hints as to what type of man
would meet approwil at the White
house. They thought that Mexicans would
in all likelihood cmbraco an opportunity
to sound Mr. Llnd Informally as to fib
acceptability of various leaders who
might arise when the crisis Is reached.
De la -Barra Mentioned.
So far as officials here arc adised, J
the vicissitudes which preceded - the Ma
dero ruvolt and followed the downfall
of that leader's stormy Incumbency bae
not detracted from (he high standing
wh.ich Krauclsco do la Barra, at present J
minister to France, attained as the man
of the hour when General Diaz was
forced to abdicate. jf
Senor dc la Barra was brought for- jJ
ward as the leader who, as provisional
president, would placate factions peud
ing a new election. Some of tho dlplo-
mats believe that dc la Barra could IH
again compose the situation In Mexico H
so as to permit of the choice of a sue-
cessor' to Huerta. Thoy regard him as jH
the man under whose leadership all fac-
tions would bo : ost likely to shift their jH
activities from the battlefield to the bal- IH
