SIXWEEKS MORE OF CONGRESS f Senators Realize That They Must Set tle Down to Trust Bill Grind— McReynold Won't Talk of New Haven Case. Washington, - June 30.—Secretary McAdoo mailed a Tetter today to each of the 7,400 national banks in the United States asking whether they |* Delieve it will be advisable for the treasury department to lend a hand again this year in the movement of crops by distributing additional gov- ernment deposits. : The secretary asked for an opinion as to what cities in each state may be used to the best advantage as centers from which the national banks may Place the. money among their country correspondents, and as to the sort of collateral ‘which the bankers regard as best for the security of govern- ment funds. ~ “While it is expected that the fed- eral reserve banks will begin business in time to assist in moving the crops this fall,” the letter concluded, “the treasury department will nevertheless be prepared to: help business, to the full extent of its powers through the ‘proper use of government funds, if it becomes apparent that such help is needed in any section of the country.” Last year Secretary McAdoo depos- ited more than $37,000,000 with na- tional banks for crop movéments, and every cent of the money was paid back with interest before April of this year. SENATE DOWN T0 HARD WORK Members of Upper. House Realize There Can Be No Adjournment - Until Trust Bills Pass. Washington, June 29,—Convinced that there is no other path to ad- journment but the one which begins with trust legislation, the senate will settle down this week to the steady grind of work on the federal trade commission bill. i The senate is far from resigned to the thought of six weeks or more of discussion .of. trust legislation in ‘mid- ~gummer, but it is not probable ‘that the spirit of open revolt will shew it- self on the floor, and unless senate leaders are at fault, in the predic- tions, the three house bills or legis- lation designed to cover the same ground will be put through by the fa- milfar process, weeks of debate in fruitless effort to amend and then passage. There is no doubt whatever that if the President would relent in his in- sisten¢ée upon the anti-trust program congress could and would get away trom Washington in two weeks or less. The house is in such shape that lt could be ready to get away in a tew days and the senate is not far behind as far as appropriation meas- ures are concerned. ‘ WON’T DISCUSS NEW HAVEN Attorney General McReynolds Re- fuses to Announce Program Re- garding Rallroad’s Affairs. Washington, June 27.—Attorney General McReynolds’ determination not to announce at present his pur- Pose as to possible criminal prosecu- tions in connection with the affairs of the New Haven railroad system was emphasized in a letter read be- fore the senate today by Senator Nor- ris, The letter, written by Mr. Mc- Reynolds, criticized statements made on the floor of the senate by Senator Norris as to the department's atti- tude toward the interstate commerce commission investigation of ‘the New Haven. Senator Norris had declared in dis- cussing the matter: “The attorney general did not have ‘in.contemplation any criminal action and nobody: has been given immunity in that case,” and referred to a “state- ‘ment from the attorney general's of- fice to the effect that there never was “{m contemplation any criminal action; that. there was no violation of any federal statute in all the proceedings | that were had in the New Haven af- seated on the observation platform of | were walking along the tracks, and the women in the party waved their re 4 N W.

HUERTA’S TROOPS MAY REVOLT =—_|Dictator Losing Grip on Army and Uprising Is Imminent, Declares , British Minister—Refugees at Vera Cruz. The City. of Mexico, June’ 30—In view of the existing condition in Mex- ico, Sir Lionel Carden, the British minister, has advised all British -sub- jects temporarily to leave the country. He said that the shortage of fuel used in the operation of trains was grow- ing more acute daily and that the trains probably soon would stop run- ning, which would make difficult the departure of persons in the interior. Sir Lionel Carden said he believed it to be his duty to urge all British subjects to leave the capital immedi- ately and he especially advised that the women be removed. The minis- ter declared he had no desire to frighten the members of the British colony. He said he had not ordered them to go, such a course only being |" advised, se] English Arranging to Flee. Eight hundred British subjects are registered at the legation as now re- siding in Mexico City. It is the min- Aster’s plan to get a sufficient number of these to sign an agreement to leave the capital so that they can obtain a special train from the Mexican govern- ment to take them to Puerto Mex- ico and also secure a transport to con- vey the passengers to Jamaica, where they can remain until the close of the present Mexican trouble. Britishers lacking funds to enable them to get out of the country will |” be. furnished with money by the le- gation as a loan, notes being taken for the amount. - Huerta Losing Grip. Vera Cruz, Mex., June 80.—The fear that the spread of disaffection among the Mexican federal troops might re- sult in an uprising in Mexico City caused the British residents there to hold a meeting to arrange final plans for the defense of the concentration district. British refugees who arrived here, and who had attended the meeting, | said the. general opinion expressed there was that Provisional President | Huerta’s hold on the situation in the capital was wavering and many pre- dicted an uprising or a revolt of the federal army within a week or ten days.

The | sensational correspondence between New York financiers and their Wash- ington agents and General Carranza and other constitutionalists, confirms in great detail the exposure of some days ago. Under the circumstances Senate leaders feel there is but one thing to do, that is to set at work a new sub- committee of the senate foreign rela- tions committee, of which Senator William Alden Smith is chairman, and to give it full powers to probe to the very bottom of one of the greatest_ international scandals of the age. Nothing that has occurred recently has aroused such intense interest as the publication of the private corres- pondence between the, Washington junta of the constitutionalists, the moving figure in which is Sherburne G. Hopkins, a Washington attorney; H. Clay Pierce, the oil man; Charles R. Flint, who has large financial re- lations with South and Central Amer- ica; General Carranza as “supreme chief” of the revolution, and other constitutionalists. - On the one hand, the Standard Oil interests are backing Huerta and are in control of the situation so far. as the Mexican railroads and oil inter- ests are concerned. On the other, the Pierce-Flint interests are support- ing Carranza. In the opinion of everyone here until the differences between the great interests are com- posed the war in Mexico will continue.
