MEXICAN RAIL HEADS QUIT President and O«neral Masairer of Na •. tional Line He»i|pßM MEXICO CITY, June 23.— E. N. Brown and A.

Their eucceesors have I not been announced. : '■ ; \ ■"• ■'-; ' , *■-.-, '| ,; :>:"'- Continued From Page 1 and currency bill, but the president evidently intends to treat lie subject as one purely partisan, and he did not take the trouble even to discuss ot analyze the principles involved in bank ing and currency legislation. He erred in saying that the committees of con gress had consulted with him and pro pared- a bill. The committee of th« house has had no bill before it and has had no meetings to consider a bill Outside of dealing out a little bunls about new freedom,- there was nothing to the message. That was sopho morical. ; "The president came before congress like a schoolmaster before fourth grade school children, and told the members to be good, but he did not dare analyze what goodness in this case consists of. While congress' has had no help from the president's message on "banking and currency matters and , has received no enlightenment or suggestion of ideas from the president, still 1 do not wish to judge in advance the proposed bill because of lack of intelligent presenta tion by .the- president. It is evident that the measure is to be considered a democratic partisan bill, but even so. if it > will advance the interest of the country,, the republicans will support it, but if it threatens to go still fur ther than the tariff bill in breaking down I the prosperity of the last few years, then we can not support it, but will try to amend it. PARTISAN CONTROL AT/MCCED The one th , ig that we will not stand for is partisan . political control of banks or the issuance of currency. The Bryan administration, through Its Chinese and South American policy, is doing everything it can to prevent American business going abroad, and if the same sort of administration had control •of ; Wanking • and currency in this country, it would be absolutely ruinous to every business interest, and would make chaos. I shall strongly op pose any such ideas." On the senate side many republicans were of the opinion that the presi dent's message was a flat declaration congress must act at once on the cur rency question. They believe It set« forth the president's position as being so positive on that point that he would call another extra session of congress if necessary to dispose of the matter.
