r TTTE MORNING OREGONIATf, FRTDAT. NOVEMBER 31, 1913. RAIN DIMINISHES JOS BRAVERY Bad Weather Helps Chances for Peaceful Capture of Violators of Law. MEDICINE MEN LOSE SWAY Complaint Is That Agency Schools Hurt Occupation Renegades Encamped on Beautiful Mountain In Storm. PARMIXGTOX, X. II., Nov. 20. Con tinued rain for 24 hours made the posi tion of the recalcitrant Navajo Indians encamped on Beautiful Mountain near the Shiprock Agency exceedingly trying today and cooled materially the ardor rf their sympathizers. These conditions grave encouragement to agency offi cials, who have been trying to secure a settlement without bloodshed. The hope was expressed today that continued un favorable weather would cause the In dians to weaken in their avowed deter mination to fight if any attempt were made to capture the seven braves wanted by the United States Court in New Mexico. Another hopeful sign was the action cf one of the accused Indians in sur rendering today to Indian Agent Shel ton at Shiprock. The brave was con fined in the County Jail awaiting or ders from United States Marshal A. H. Hudspeth, at Santa Fe. That order will be restored and the present differences adjusted with little, if any, actual re sistance, was the opinion expressed to day by Agent Shelton. Medicine Men Fear School. The medicine men, who declare that the school work at the Agency destroys their occupation, continued their efforts today to induce others to join In the uprising, but it was said with little, if any, success. The present incipient uprising devel oped from filing with Agent Shelton in September of charges of murder, big amy and statutory offenses against several Indians in a remote part of the reservation, known as the Black Hills. It is said the information on which the charges were based was secured from Na-vajo women, who were held at the Apency for their protection. In Shelton's absence a dozen Indians, Including the accused men, visited the Aneney, overpowered the police and carried away tlio women prisoners. Agent Shelton's efforts to induce the loaders to surrender were unsuccessful and tiie cases were taken to the United States District Court for New Mexico. Indictments were returned and war rants placed in the hands of United States Marshal Hudspeth. Renegades Still Obdurate. Negotiations conducted by Marshal Hudspeth and Agent Shelton, through mediators, secured a promise that the men wanted would surrender Novem ber 13. Kelying on this. Marshal Hud speth returned to Santa Fe, where he received word from Agent Paquette, of the Defiance Agency, that he had posi tive information that the Indians were on their way to Shiprock to demand ab solute pardon for all the braves, failing In which they . planned to attack the Agency. - The chief of the recalcitrants was taken sick and the expedition delayed. Riving Marshal Hudspeth time to reach the Agency with a force sufficient to resist the promised attack. The rene gades then retired to Beautiful Moun tain and negotiations were reopened for their surrender. Three finally were turned over to the authorities, but with the exception of the fourth, who gave himself up today, the remainder continued obdurate. THREE CURRENCY BILLS UP (Continued From First Page.) accept. The Republicans reduced the number to four, holding that the small er number .could more effectively con centrate the reserves of the country. Tolnt of DlHOKreement Reached. The 12 regional banks proposed by the House bill would be owned by the banks, through compulsory subscrip tion to the stock, and the banks would elect six of tho nine directors of each regional institution. This plan was re tained by the Democrats of the Senate committee, although it was further provided if the banks did not furnish enough capital' to run the system, the stock might be sold to the public On this point Senator Hitchcock and the Republicans departed from the Ad ministration theory of creating a "bank of bank9" and materially changed the bill. They provided that the reserve banks' capital should be subscribed by the public, the banks taking whatever part the public would not take, and that tho Government through the Federal reserve board should appoint five of tlie nine directors of each regional bank. This was the proposition which split the Senate committee into two camps. Each Bill Reduces Reserves. Each of the bills materially reduced the present reserve which National banks must hold against deposits. The House bill would fix the reserve at 12 per cent for country banks and 18 per cent for banks In present reserve cities. These rates were retained by the -Administration forces in the Senate com mittee, but the Republican wing cut down tho reserves of the city banks to 15 per cent. In the Houso bill the paper made eligible for rediscount and as a basis for currency is commercial paper based on actual merchandising transactions, maturing in not less than 90 days. This provision was retained by tho Demo crats in tho Senate committee, but the Republicans broadened it materially. Under this bill, a part of the member banks' rediscounts may be made in paper maturing up to six months. The provision gives the advantages to banks with small capital which have little so-called short-time paper. Under the House bill and the draft by tho Senate committee Democrats, the regional bank directors would have discretion as to rediscountlng for mem ber banks without limit. In the Re publican bill each member bank- has the right to secure rediscounts up to the full amount of its capital and, un der a tax, to twice that amount. Reserve Question Opens. The gold reserve to be held by the regional banks in their vaults and in the treasury against the new circula tion is fixed at 33 1-3 per cent in both the House bill and the measure drawn by the Senate committee Democrats. The Republican draft, however, pro vides for a 35 per cent reserve, with a tax on reserve below that figure down to a minimum of 25 per cent. The House bill provided for redemption of the new notes in "gold or lawful money", at the treasury or at the re serve banks. The Owen amendment would make the notes redeemable In gold at the treasury and gold or lawful money at the banks and the Repub lican draft would provide for a straight gold redemption In both instances. Both the House bill and the Owen bill would allow country banks to lend on one-year farm mortgages. The Re publicans amended this to allow banks to lend one-third of their time deposits on five-year farm mortgages. Steering Committee Meets Today. The Republicans eliminated from the bill a provision which would have re quired National banks to maintain sep arate departments to handle savings account business. Numerous other dif ferences, principally on minor matters or relating to the language of the measure, are apparent. To prevent a disturbance of financial conditions while bank reserves are be ing shifted to the proposed new re gional banks, the Owen bill would pro vide that banks may deposit commer cial paper and currency as part of their reserve, under certain conditions. The Hitchcock-Republican bill would extend the life of the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency law for another year. The Democrat steering committee will meet tomorrow in an effort to arrange a programme for the debate and to determine how the bills shall be handled on the floor of the Senate. The debate is expected to open early next week. PINDELL'S NAME GOES IN WILSON NOMINATES EDITOR FOR RrssiAsr post. Dana Child . Chosen for Postmaster at Spokane Many Transfer in Comnlar Service Made.

Doctors at Head of Their Specialty In County Said to Have Declared Hans Schmidt J Insane. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. District At torney "Whitman's office heard a report today that someone had come to the aid of Hans Schmidt, the priest who confessed the murder of Anna Aumul ler last September, and had made it possible for him to employ eminent counsel and alienists. This report followed an application today by Schmidt's lawyers for the ap pointment by the court of a commission of two alienists to pass on Schmidt's sanity. -In making the application, W. M. K. Olcott, who was brought Into the case a week ago, said that Doctors Menas Granery and Smith Ely Jolliffe, two of the best-known experts in their specialty in the country, had examined Schmidt and believed him to be Insane. Olcott did not say how or by whom the alienists had been retained. The court will make decision tomorrow morning on the application. Schmidt had $700 in the bank. This, in the opinion of the District Attorney, would hardly attract two medical ex perts and a lawyer of Judge Olcott's standing to the case.
