AS TO FUTURE SUCCESS
Believes Wilson Administra
tion Is Considering Recog
nition of Insurgents.
XOGALKS. Sonora. November 8.?Gen.
Venustiano Carranza appeared unusually
optimistic today regarding the success of
the constitutionalist revolution.
Dispatches front his agents in Wash
ington and Xe? York indicated that offi
cial Washington wanted to know the ex
act extent and strength of the insurrec
tion against the Huerta government. I his
f'fenanza and his followers interpreted as
ftrong Intimation that the Wilson admin
istration was considering recognition of
the insurgents.
Such action, the rebel chief considers,
would insure the success of the revolution, |
and he asserted he could put lOU.OOO men
into the field.
;' Ammunition Smuggled.
<'arranza. was cheered by the news of
tlje successful smuggling over the line at
Xaco of a large amount of rifle ammuni
tion.
Dr. Henry Allen Tuppei. a Held officer
of the International Peace Forum, of
which ex-President Taft is an honorary |
vice president, was in Tucson. Ariz., to

some direct connection with the antici

{'While* 1 am in sympathy with the

BOLT OF HITCHCOCK
! TIES UP AMENDMENT
Joins Republicans in Vote on O'Gor
man Amendment?Caucus
Seems Assured.
A deadlock in the Senate banking and
currency committee today prevented
action to settle the number of regional
banks for the new system. The out
look for an immediate break in the
deadlock this afternoon is not promis
j ing.
A motion bv Senator O'Gorman of
'New York for not less than four region
al banks and not mora than eight, the
number to be left to the discretion of
the federal reserve board, was defeated
by a tie vote. 6 to 6. Senator Hitch
cock, democrat, and the republicans of
the committee voted against the O'Gor
man motion, and all the other demo
1 erats favored It.
When the committee adjourned for
luncheon, a motion by Senator Shafrotb
of Colorado, to tii the number of regional
reserve banks at eUht, was pending.
Reed Is Optimistic.
Following the meeting today Senator
! Reed of Missouri expressed an opinion
that the Committee Anally would get to
gether on a bill, breaking the deadlock.
"We have voted into the bill public
ownership and government control of
these regional reserve banks, and in my
opinion, those were most important and
desirable changes." said Senator Reed.
Unless the committee reaches some
agreement by Monday which will be satis
factory to the democrats outside the com
mittee It is expected that a democratic
caucus surely will be ordered. The sen
ators who have been circulating a petition
for a caucus to take up the currency bill
are confident that they will have enough
signatures to bring about a call of the
caucus.
Have Prepared Bill.
It is understood that the administra
tion forces on the committee are holding
meetings nightly, outside the regular
meeting hours of committee, and that
they have already prepared a bill, or will
have it ready soon, which they will sub
mit to the democratic caucus for ap
proval. if the caucus be held. ?
Reed and O'Gorman Shift.
A shift in the line-up on the currency
bill yesterday strengthened the position
of the administration forces, but left the
Senate committee in a temporary dead
lock. Senators Reed and O'Gorman, who
have been opposing administration pro
posals In the committee, rejoined the
democrats, and the committee voted to
reconsider the decision which cut down
from twelve to four the number of re
gional banks in the proposed new sys
tem.
Senator Crawford, republican, voted
with the democrats to reconsider, but a
discussion which at times waxed warm
and which lasted all afternoon, failed to
force a vote on a proposition to fix the
number of banks as seven. Senator
Crawford said he had voted to recon
sider solely as a matter of courtesy.
Double Liability Voted Down.
The committee voted down a proposal to
force a double liability similar to that of
the present national bank stockholders on
the stock of the proposed regional banks.
The section of the present bill which
would force all national bank? into the
system under penalty of losing their
charters within a year was changed. Na
tional banks, under the amendment, would
be required to signify their intention of
entering the system within sixty days.
Banks which are at present reserve
agents and which fail to enter the new
system within* ninety days would forfeit
their reserve agencies.
The committee voted down a proposal
by Senator Crawford to allow the regional
banks to be created to do a general com
mercial banking business.

ment Over Unionist,
LINLITHGOW, Scotland, November 8.?.
Mr. Pratt, the liberal candidate for Lin
lithgowshire. was successful over his
unionist opponent. James Kidd, but by a
greatly reduced majority, at the bye-elec
tion held here yesterday. The figures as
given out today were: Pratt, liberal.
Kidd, unionist, 5,094; Piatt's ma
jority, 521.
At the last election Alexander Ure, lib
eral, had 2,000 majority. Mr. Ure vacat
ed the seat a few weeks ago on his ap
pointment as lord president of the Scot
tish court of sessions, and it was difficult
for the liberals to find a candidate to re
place him, but Mr. Pratt, who was a for
mer bailie of Glasgow and practically un
known in the constituency, was selected
to meet the unionist, James Kidd, wh?
had been before the electors for years.
The contest was vigorously fought. The
result makes no difference to the strength
of parties in the house of commons.

Senator Lewis' Alleged Letter
to Prospective Ambassador
i
Criticised.
The publication this morning in a
New York newspaper of a letter alleged
to have been written by Senator J.
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois to H. M.
Pindell of Peoria, stating that Mr.
Pindell could be appointed United States
ambassador to Russia for a year, enjoy
himself traveling abroad and not be
compelled to attend to any of the am
bassadorial duties at St. Petersburg,
created a considerable stir at the Capitol
t0nfythig letter.- it is alleged. Sehator
Lewis told Mr. Pindell that lie had
I talked over the telephone with secre
tary of State Bryan and ttiat it had
all been arranged. >. .or.
Mr Pindell was an ardent supporter
of President Wilson during the cam
paign last year. The post of ambassa
dor to Russia was to have been a re
ward for this service, it is understood.
The nomination of Mr. Pindell as am
bassador to Russia has not been sent to
the Senate. If it should be senAtorssay
that the letter alleged to have beert writ
ten *>y Senator Lewis and itst.conte^.8
must be entirely disproved or the nomi
nation would be rejected.
The same newspaper prints as a dis
patch from Chicago:
Senator Lewis said tonight: -
"Any letter I write may be Posted
billboards for all I care. 'Confidential,
as I use the term, merely means that
the subject matter is confidential on m>
part. The receiver of the letter is per
fectly free to act as he sees fit.
"I merely meant to assure Mr. Pin
dell that if the financial burden in mair"
taining his position proved too great he
is privileged to resign at the end of a
year. ? ,
"I have the utmost confidence in Mr.
Pindell and will do everything possible
to secure his appointment."

REQUESTED PARK LflOGE
Vestry of St. John's P. E.
Church Objects to One Across
Street and Work Stops.
.At the instance of Rear Admiral
Charles H. Stockton, L*. S. X., retired,
representing the vestry of St. John's
Protestant Episcopal Church, at the
corner of 16th and H streets. Col. W.
\V. Harts, superintendent of public
buildings and grounds, has directed the
suspension of the work of construct
ing a lodge or public comfort station
on the H street side of Lafayette Park
opposite that church. It is explained
by Col. Harts that the work is suspend
ed in ordef to permit Secretary Garri
son of the War Department to pass
on the suggestion of the church au
thorities that another site be selected
for the lodge. Secretary Garrison, who
has just completed an inspection of the
Panama canal, is now on his way home
and is expected at the War Department
next Tuesday morning.
Col. Harts today explained that the new
lodge was being constructed in execution
of an act of Congress appropriating |3,500
for the purpose. The site was selected
by Col. Spencer Cosby, his predecessor In
office, on the recommendation of Mr.
EFhrnap, tiie public landscape architect,
who, he said, has devoted considerable
time to the study of the artistic develop
ment of the public parks of the city,
having in view their advantages to the
public at large, as well as the special in
terests of the residents of the immediate
vicinities.
Occupied for Thirty Years.
Col. Harts said he approved heartily oI
the site selected for the lodge. The new
building, which is now completed up to
the roof, he said, is on a site that had
been occupied for the same public use
for the past thirty years without a
single recorded objection. The old build
ing was a plain frame structure of cheap
construction, surrounded by shrubbery.
The new lodge, which has only one
story, will be made as inconspicuous as
possible. The walls are constructed of
hollow tiles and will be covered witii
stucco to give the appearance of stone.
The low building will be covered with
vines Of thick <foliage atnd set off by
trees and shrubbery. He said he was
confident that no one would be able to
find fault with it in its finished condi
tion.
Owing to the crowded condition of I^a
fayette Park, he said, it would be diffi
cult to find another suitable site for the
lodge. It could not be placed near the
Jackson statue in the center, nor near
the statues on the four corners of the
park. The site on whieh it is being built
was selected Col. Harts said, as the best
possible place for it and also because a
similar structure had been located there
for thirty years without complaint of any
kind. Col. Harts added that the lodge
was merely an incident in the general
scheme for the artistic development of
Lafayette Park.

Speeches of counsel were finished today.
M. Grusenberg, one of the attorneys for

not mince his words in referring to the
Vera Tcheberiak band of criminals."
He said he was convinced of their guilt.

M JIVES COSTLY
Bills Already $50,000 More
Than the $75,000 Origi
nally Appropriated.
j
ALBANY, X. Y? November 8.?Bills
for expenses incurred at the trial of Im
peachment of former Gov. Sulzer, not
including counsel fees, already total
$50,000 more than the $75,000 originally
appropriated to cover the cost of the
trial. A special bill for $50,000 will be
introduced in the assembly next week to
meet these expenses.
Practically all of the original appro
priation was spent for salaries of mem
bers and employes of the court.
Thus far $40,150 has been paid to sena
tors and members of the board of man
agers. and some money still is due them.
The pay of employes was $8,400.
Detectives Prove Costly.
One of the largest single items of ex
pense is for the salaries and expenses of
detectives. One New York agency head
drew $8,930 for himself and employes.
?His salary was $25 a day, and at times
he employed thirty operatives at $8 a
day. They traveled extensively and often
in pairs.
Although members of the board of
managers did not meet every day be
tween August AO and October 10. they
received $10 a day, including Saturdays
and Sundays, throughout thlB time.
There were twenty-eight doorkeepers,
a chief doorkeeper, a sergeant-at-arms,
an assistant sergeant-at-arms, three Jan

COTTON BREAKS $2 A HATTi

NEW YORK. November 8.?A break of
$2 a bale followed the publication of the
official ginning figures in the cotton mar

touched 12.93 under heavy general sell
ing, much of which seemed to come from
southern sources.
The report of the census bureau showed
8,8rt0,000 bales ginned to November 1.
While this was smaller than ginning to
the corresponding date In either of the
two preceding seasons, it was in excess
of expectations based on recent private
figures, and the selling movement was
supposed to reflect increased confidence
in the larger estimates of the yield.

The ? |
Little Giant
By
Herbert Kaufman
is a tine illustration of the
way In which to dissatisfy the
public?to d'ssatlsfy it with in
feriority, we mean, and, cause
it. to demand only the best.
There Is nothing that makes
for progress liioro surely than
healthy dissatisfaction. The
contented sort of people, who
think they have nothing more
to learn, will never write their
names large in the* Book of
Fame in any line of endeavor.
Kaufman's story shows this
strikingly in the tale of the
LJttle Giant bottle stopper,
and how it was made a suc
cess. without any of the "Col
onel Sellers act." in the form
of fiction, it is no doubt based
on fact, and like "The Three
Jays" and "The Tiojan Horse"
it depicts the miracles that are
wrought by advertising.
