sources Are Vast.
WASHINGTON. July 3L Present
Wilson and the Administration acted
promptly today to reassure the coun
try against any threatening financial
dangers growing out ot the European
war situation. First, the President
' took steps to bring about an Immediate
completion of the organization of the
Federal Reserve Board, in order that
the new currency law may become el
Xective. Secretary McAdoo. expressing ap
proval of the closing of the stock ex
changes throughout the country. -issued,
a statement announcing that-a
1500.000,000 issue of emergency cur
rency waiting at the Treasury Depart
ment would be made immediately avail
able to the National banks. ' .
"Airarlca is in a position to take
care of herself," be asserted.
Emergency Act Taken.
To make more easily accessible this
half billion of emergency currency, au
thorized by the Aldrlch-Vreeland act,
the Senate late in the day. at the sug
gestion of Mr. McAdoo. passed unani
mously an amendment to the currency
law modifying the clause providing
that banks of National currency asso
ciation in order to avail themselves
, of the issue must have outstanding
currency notes "secured by bonds of
' the United States to an amount not less
than 40 per cent of its capital."
, The amendment would give the Sec
retary of the Treasury authority in his
discretion to Ignore this restriction. It
will be passed early tomorrow by the
House and probably will be signed by
the President before night.
To hasten the perfection of the Fed
eral Reserve Board It was made known
at the White House that President Wil
son would send to the Senate tomor
row the name of his choice Of a suc
cessor to Thomas D. Jones, of Chi
cago, whose nomination was with
drawn. Edwin A. Potter, of Chicago,
may be the nominee.
" The tense situation also brought tD.
Immediate action Paul M. Warburg, of
New York, who had been for weeks
holding back from an examination by
the Senate committee on banking and
currency. Mr. Warburg notified the
President that he would come to Wash
ington at once, and telegraphed to
Senator Owen, chairman of the bank
Ing and currency committee, to the
same effect.
It was arranged that he appear be
fore the committee tomorrow after
noon. Prison's Words Impressive.
In the Senate optimistic notes were
sounded on all sides, regardless of
party affiliations, and Senator Nelson,
of Minnesota, dramatically declared:
"In Europe they mobilize armies and
navies; in America we mobilize bank
reserves."
The Senate paused only long enough
to allow several Senators to laud the
present banking and financial condi
tions ani to explain that the measure
was passed merely as a precautionary
measuie and not because of any press
ing present necessity.
"Europe Is in a crisis," Senator Owen
''said in presenting the measure. "The
great central banks of France and
Germany and England have practically
suspended specie payment. Something
should be done to prepare this country
to meet any emergency that may arise."
Senator Smoot said the bill should
not be taken for a "panic measure."
and added that the "treasury and the
banking business of the country were
In a splendid condition to meet any
emergency."
"There is In the treasury fifteen
hundred million dollars In gold and
silver," Senator Owen added, "1150,
000,000 in gold reserve and $130,000,000
free gold In the general fund. These
immense funds, with $500,000,000 emer
gency currency available, would en
able this country to face any financial
crista"
KCSSIA'S ATTITUDE EXPIi:IXED
"Execution" of Serviu, Not to Be
Permitted, SayKnvoy.
PARIS, July 31. The Temps today
relatos details of the conversation be
tween Count von Pourtales, the Ger
man Ambassador, and Sergius Sazonoff,
the Ilussian Foreign Minister, in St,'
Petersburg yesterday.
Count von Pourtalea first asked
whether, in case Russia were assured
Austria would not retain any territory
conquered in Servla, Russia would
stop her mobilization.
To this Sazanoff replied: ,
"No." and said that Russia could not
permit the "execution" of Servla which
had been announced by Austria.
.Count von Pourtales then asked M.
Sazanoff under what conditions Rus
sia would demobilize.
Sazanoff answei-ed that any question
of thia sort must first be- raised at
Vienrfa, which had committed acts - of
war and made declarations which alone
had determined Russia to mobilize.
The conversation did not continue
further.
The German government, on receipt
of Count von Pourtales" report, accord
ing to the Temps, did put itself into
communication with Vienna, which up
to that time' it had refused to do, but,
to be exact. Germany affirmed that it
was not exercising pressure nor hav
ing recourse to mediation, but was sim
ply asking for information nothing
else.

under command of Colonel John C F.
T'ltSwas suggested tonight that If a

troops other than those of the United
States, and. possibly Japan, might be
withdrawn to augment home forces and
to prevent complications in China. It

spiked today to the County Clerk re

that, as they swore allegiance to the

Most of the men expressed their un

though they said they regretted losing
possible citizenship. Others said they
would, try to return after the war and
apply all over again. Whether they
would be allowed to do this is a ques

they had a dubious sort of citizenship
if they dropped it every now and then

G. E. MARCY 'MAN OF HOUR'
Firms and Individuals In Distress
Because of War Crisis Invited

CHICAGO, July 81. Armour's mil

President George E. Marcy, of the

circulated word on the floor of the
Board, partly in person ana pamy
through his lieutenants, that any mem.
ber in trouble today need only come
to him and before nightfall Armour &
Co. had taken over 8,000,000 bushels of
open trades, which if not transferred
were critically in danger of not being
lately settled in due contract time, the
expiration of business hours at the
end of the month.
In addition to the relief extended
directly, President Marcy ordered the
sale of 8,000,000 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
instrumental in preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool today
came ahead of a steep subsequent fall.
Duty Owed to Country.
The Armour sales of wheat were sup
plemented by simultaneous disposal of
1 000,000 bushels of corn and an equal
quantity of oats. These sales were
afterwards covered by numerous
gradual purchases whenever pit condi
tions would allow without disturbing
the course of prices.
Mr Marcv said tonight:
"The Chicago Board of Trade today
owed a duty to the country not to olOBe
It was not a similar case to that of
the Stock Exchange in New York. Mil
lions of bushels 'of grain in transit
had to be cared for, and the effect on
railroad and other interests had to be
taken into account. Grains are com
modities almost wholly unlike stocks
and bonds."
Possibly a clear idea of the strain
that reached a climax today can be
obtained from one well verified
example. On a single trade one firm
here of excellent standing was called
on for J650.000 In margins $400,000
at first and then on a second demand
$250,000.

notice tonight: -
"The rise in the price of 'heat in
all the markets of the world, the prob
abilities that the harvests of France
will be below the average and the pros
pect of seeing this commodity go into
hiding as gold does on the eve of grave
eventualities have caused the govern
ment to prohibit the exports of grains
and farinaceous foods of all kinds.
This measure was taken by Belgium
and Germany today and is supplanted
by the prohibition of the export of va
rious products, which are considered
contrabrand of war." -

Cotton Exchange 8eslo Brief.
The Cotton Exchange was open 1 hour
and 10 minutes, in which time the three
failures were announced. In Its brief
session the Cotton Er-Jango had Its
worst experience since w days In 1904
when Daniel J. Sully failed. The Pell
firm, largest of the thre,e which sus
pended, did an extensive business and
had contracts widely scattered.
William Allen Butler, of counsel for
the firm, in a statement tonight said it
was not possible to give an estimate of
assets and liabilities at the moment,
but that accountants were at work.
MILLIONS
The rotton market was extremely ex
oltrf during- its neriod of trading. Flue
tuations ranged from 150 to nearly 200
points meaning a -change of values of
$7.50 to $10 a bale.
For half an hour the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, usually known as the
"Little Board," was the only open se
curities market in the world. The Con
solidated opened a half an hour before
the New York Stock Exchange. A com
paratively small amount of business was
done during the first half hour today
at prices which showed only small
changes. The Consolidated closed as
soon as word came that "the big board"
would not open. The Coffee Exchange,
the Produce Exchange and the Metal
Exchange quickly followed suit.
Outside Market Discouraged.
The Stock Exchange took steps early
in the day to discourage in every pos
sible way the formation of an outside
market for Its securities by venture
some or irresponsible traders. It Issued
a notice to members pointing -out that
tha constitution Drohiblts dealing on
any other exchange In this city or pub
lielv outside of the exchange, either
directly or Indirectly, in securities listed
or quoted on the exchange, rrivaie
transactions, it Is believed, win con
tinue In moderate volume as long as
the exchange remains closed.
Foreign exchange was more demoral
ized than before, but it did not prevent
the engagements of more gold to tne
extent of about $3,650,000. all for Lon
don. Bankers took up the matter of
gold exports in the course of the sev
eral conferences today, and a meeting
of foreign exchange bankers will be
called shortly to consider the proposi
tion of canceling, or at Jeast postpon
ing, the fulfillment ot future contracts
in exchange.
Insurance Risks Rejected.
Insurance companies continued to
ask $10,000 per million, and even then
rejected some risks, it was asserted.
The whole question of gold exports
took on a new phase .when It became
known that ships of the English. Uer.
man and French lines surely would be
pressed into the service of their respec
tive governments in case of war.
All problems arising from the status
of call loans were solved when it be
came known that loans of that charac
ter 'made before the closing of the
stock exchange hold over automatically
until operations there are resumed.
This was relief to many brokers, but
was not particularly relished by bank
ers, as the continuance of these loans
makes heavy drafts, on the reserve ot
some Institutions.
WAR lYlI HARD
CALIFORNIA EXPORT IJliSI.ES9
LIKELY TO LACK SUIPH.
Dally Average ot 40,000 Barrels Oot
of Dally Production of 300,000
Barrels Goes Abroad.
SAN FRANCISCO. July SI. (Special.)
An absolute stoppage of oil export
by sea from California ports, with a
consequent glutted local market, fall
ing prices and great depression In the
producing business In this state Is
feared as a result of general war
among the European powers.
Practically every uarrcl of oil shipped
abroad from California goes out in
British or German tankers plying be
tween the Coast and South America or
the Orient With snips of these na
tionalities afraid to venture out on the
high seas there are nj oil carriers left
to handle the California export busi
ness. 2
At the present time, according to one
of the best-posted men In the export
business, California is shipping abroad
a dally average of 40,000 barrels out
of a total dally production of 300,000
barrels. With the aver-seas business
cut off there will be, according to the
same authority, no room In California
for this oil. Present storage facili
ties are not adequate to handle more
oil than they are taking now.
Seventeen tankers under the British
flag and six under the German are now
engaged in handling the Standard's
export business out of California ports.
These vessels are owned under the
foreign flags by the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey through subsidiary
British and German corporations. The
Union Oil Company Is employing half
a dozen more.
The Standard OH Company of Cali
fornia owns all Its tankers under
American registry, but employs them
solely in coastwise business. None of
them, it is said, could be used for
foreign business. Its oil is sold f. o. b.
California ports to the Eastern com
pany's subsidiaries operating the for
eign tankers.
A proposed solution of the present
difficulty is that Congress might pass
an emergency measure permitting the
transfer of American-owned vessels
from foreign to domestic registry.
There is a question, though, as to
whether the foreign governments
would permit this after war has been
declared.
