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.

ACCUSED PRIEST AIDED
EMINENT LAWYER AND MEDICAL
EXPERTS APPEAR IX CASE.
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.
SHORT HAUL RATE ORDERED
Railway Commission Rules in Fa
vor of Independence.
SALEM, Or, Nov. 20. (Special.)
The State Railway Commission has Just
held that the Salem, Falls City & West
ern Railway Company must give its
patrons the benefit of short .haul
freight rates between this city and
Independence.
The company has two lines between
this city, the one via Dallas being al
most twice as long as the one via Ger-
linger. It has been handling all freight
over the longer route because it had
no freight warehouse at Gerlinger. It
has agreed to erect a warehouse there
and meanwhile will transport freight
over the Dallas line at the short haul
rates. ....
