F. L. WILLIAMSON, p. M. Negroes Are Urged to Prepare for ' '.. War. YV; Washington, Jan. 6. Negroes were urged to spend their money for guns - i ,;;tni-T. orliipntinn tonicrht bv L. N. Ross, pastor of a Washington negro church, speaking r.t a celebra tion of the birthday, of Charle3 Sum ner. . ' The preacher pleaded with tb.9 audi ence to prepare for war for their so cial, political and industrial right 3. Cries of "We are with you, that's right," greeted the speaker. When Oswald Garrison Villard, of New York, vigorously dissented from Ross's advice the preacher again arose and repeated his declaration, draw ing another outburst of approval. Villard made an address attacking the attitude of the Democratic Admin istration toward the negro, declaring that the position "in which the Demo cratic party finds itself today, with its President preaching 'a new free dom' and a number of reactionary senators, congressmen and cabinet of ficers urging a 'new slavery' is indeed extraordinary." "There are no bosses today like them.' he continued. "The Vardamans, Tillman's Hoke Smiths and all the rest of the negro-baiting crowd who have risen to eminence on the back of ths negro, defaming and oppressing them as they went, are the apostles of reaction. They misrepresent the heart and conscience of the true south." divisions. - One is under General Or tega, at a point on the river 20 miles west of Ojinaga. A division com manded by General Herrera is report ed enroute from Chihuahua with fresh supplies of ammunition. Gen eral Herrer is believed to be within easy march of Ojinaga. V While the rebels are waiting, the federal army lias thrown out defenses against as udden storming of Ojin aga by the reb!s. Outposts have Lee extended along the road to Chihuahua over which rebel reinforcements must come. The capture of three rebel au tomobiles hurrying from Chihuahua with ammunition indicated how well the federals were guarding the road. Should the Villa army bi'eak down the outerdefenses and regain their posi tion at the foot of the tableland i which the village stands, there still would remain the high aproaches up which the rebels would have to climb in the face of the federal guns. General Castro said he believed with his 4,000 soldiers he could with stand an attack of 10,000 rebels. Burden of the Pork Barrel Grows Heavy. :V- Washington Jan. 6. Basis for ac tion by Congress to rid itself of the burden of the "pork barrel" and clear the way for uniform and less costly construction of public buildmgs will be furnished soon in a report from the public buildings commission, created by the last Congress to look into the manner in which the government er ects its structures. V Among the proposals under consid eration are two of vial imi.. ' -""e, the creation of a Department of Pub- i lie Works, and the establishment of ; a -new system of estimating in con-j nection with public buildings. A pub- j lie works department would lead, ; members of the committee declare, to j more uniform construction and a de crease in the cost of maintenance of Federal buildngs. , Among some of the points to be brought out by the commission are these: That Congress and the taxpayers alike are dissatisfied with the present scheme for the authorization of build ings and better suited to the trans action of government business. The commission will express the aope that Congress will be less liber al in the future and cut down it aver age of a million a month for public buildings to a more reasonable figure. It is expected to point out that $50, 000 has been provided for buildings in villages of less than 1,000 inhabi- tants. Another . step to be suggested to Congress is the abandonment of the J policy to make use of only corner lots.. 'V. VV ' Rebels Are Waiting Coming of Fran cisco Villa. Presidio, Texas., Jan. 6. Scattered over the hills and westward along the Rio Grande, Mexican rebel forces to night waited to learn whether Gen. Francisco Villa would reunite them and in person lead another attack on the Mexican federal army at Ojinaga opposite here. The rebels, who withdrew from the outworks of the federal fortifications after six hours' fighting are in three Morgan Advocates Big Federal Bank. New York, Jan. 6. -J. P. Morgan today aligned himself witha dvocates of a regional bank of commanding size in the district which is to incluu j New York. Most of the other wit nesses who appeared at today's hear ing of the Federal reserve organic tion committee sharted Mr. Morgan's views, aruging for the establishment of ar egional bank in this territory which would represent 40 per cent, or more of the capital of the entire Na tional system. Secretaries McAdoo and Houston, who compose the com mittee, intimated that they did not share this view, although both said that they had reached no decision. ' . Mr. Morgan indicaed that the in vitation to give his views was right much of a surprise. Explaining that he had not consid ered carefully the division of the country into regional districts. Mr. Morgan said he would not attempt to outline any detailed plan. "I'm trying to see why the whole United States is to be handled," he explained. "That's all I'm good for." Mr. Morgan surprised his hearers by saying he did not consider it im portant whether a regional bank were located in New York. It might as well be in Boston, he believed. The important thing, he said, was to have the bank wheih served the New York district of sufficient size to command the respect of the business men and bankers of all countries. Mr. Mor gan attached comparatively little im portance to the amount of capital in this bank, which many .witnesses had said should be larger than that of any member bank. "It isn't so much the capital," he said, "as the assets the bank repre sents." ; "Do you think," asked Secretary McAdoo, "that foreign banks would look at one regional bank, in forming their estimate, or at the entire sys tem of units under a co-ordinate board?" "That depends upon the action of the co-ordained board," Mr. Morgan replied. He said that if the board could show that the system was o ordinated, foreign bankers would feel that they were doing busine" with one comprehensive bank. "The real idea," he said, "is to get the most convenient arrangement to serve the whole reserve associa tion." . '.p Secretary McAdoo handed to Mr. Morgan a large white sheet of paper on which was an outline map of the country and asked him to indicate on it at a later time, the lint's at which he thought regional banks should be placed, and the district they should cover. Mr. Morgan looked doubtful ly at the Secretary and said he fear ed he would not have the time to go into the matter exhaustively. He nevertheless folded up the map and and walked off with it, promising to do his best. ; In the opinion of Henry Bizallion, president of Gotham National Bank, the matter of capital of the New York regional bank was not of primary im- portance. The National system of regional banks, operating under the Federal Board and having a combined bapital of over $100,000,000, would be looked upon, he thought, as one great banking entity which stood back of each regional bank. Edward Townsend, president of the Importer's .and Traders' National Bank, and J. H. Copperthwaite, of the New York Merchant's Association advocated establishment of a large bank . here. Max May, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co., of New York recognized as a foreign exchange ex pert, was asked to what extent for eign business of the banks should be considered in framing the new sys tem. He said this was an important feature as it involved control of thi international gold movement. "How is the movement controlle tow?" asked Secretary McAdoo. "Mostly, we lock the stable afte: thee ow is stolen," said Mr. May "After gold has moved out of th. country money rates go up to make them higher than in Europe wher a;old is flowing." He said the nev banking "system should prove effect ive in controlling the gold movement Lewis L. Clarke, president of th. American Exchange Bank, of Nev York, said t,he country banks woult 'ose money by joining the new systen because at present they are enable? to keep part of their reserves on de posit with other banks where the; draw interest. Mr. Clarke advocated the creatio; of a large bank here because, he sai New York always has been looked t is the financial center of the Unite States. He suggested that other reg ional banks be established in Wash ington, or Richmond, Atlanta, Chi ?ago, Kansas City or St. Louis, Oma ha or Denver, San Francisco and Nev Orleans or Houston. M. G. Elliott, secretary of the com mittee, left tonight for Boston to ar range for the hearings there Fridaj and Saturday.

The other five were kept alive after hard work by the surgeon and crew. One man was seen swimming near :he ship. Captain Aspinwall heaved urn a life buoy at the end of a line, ihe man had it in his grasp when a ;reat wave heeled the ship over and .vhen it swung back the man had dis appeared. The lifeboat righted itself, tnd as it floated pa6t the Gregory rew saw a man jammed under the eats. Officer Buck wanted to jump l after him but his captain held him ,ack. When the agents of the Booth line .ere sent a report of the rescue to the ome office in Liverpool tonight they ecommended Buck, Williams and Roberts for promotion. John Kosich, the Oklahoma's mess oy, a Norwegian, said he and his ten hip mates in the lifeboat that reach id the Gregory, saw the other boat ut off from the opposite side of the ank garner. "That boat," he said, had almost twice as many in her as .urs." Captain Loring A. Cates, a Boston kipper, formerly in command of the ank steamer Ligonier, and a pass--nger on the Oklahoma, commanded he other lifeboat, Kasich said. From memory, Kosich and his eom lanions gave this list of the names of hose in their boat who perished: William R. Dodd, first assistant en rineer, who took charge; Walter Hannan, second assistant engineer; Vxel Andersen, a seaman; John Sul ivan, second cook ; Manuel Gomez, a .Spanish fireman. Emerson Was Worth Quarter of a Million. Wilmington, Jan. 6. The estate of the late President Thomas M. Emer son, of the Atlantic Coast Line i estimated at Over $250,000, and some think it may go considerably above that amount. The fact that the es tate will run over $250,000 was learn ed yesterday when the People's Sav ings Bank qualified as guardians for two minor heirs to a part of the property. The bank became guar din for T. M. Emerson, a little son of the late president of the A. CM.., and Lillian Davis Emerson, daughter of an older son of Mr. Emerson, w .o died some years ago. It was set forth in the papers that the proportion that each will get of the estate is estimated a $50,000. There are three others who will share in the estate, these being the widow, two daughters, Mrs. C. VanLouvsn and Mrs. A. S. Williams. Each of the Ship's Chief. Officers the Saver of Human Life. New York, Jan. 6. rThirteen sur vivors tonight had been accounted for out of the 38 men aboard the tank steamer Oklahoma, when she broke in two Sunday in a storm off Baregat. Another story of heroic rescue was written beside the tale told by the wireless that brought the first news of the disaster. Until the Booth liner Gregory, fresh from a 2,000-mile voyage up the Am azon, arrived today, the eight men taken off the Oklahoma bv the steam ship Bavaria were believed to be the only ones saved. But the Gregory had five more of the shipwrecked crew that her officers had drarced from the boiling sea at the risk of their own lives. So the Oklahoma's death list stood at 25 tonight: and there was little hope that more of the crew had been saved. What little hope remained was based on the fact that men brought to port by the Gregory said another lifeboat besides theirs had been launched from the sinking steamer. There was little doubt, how ever, that this was the boat sighted by the revenue cutter Seneca with three frozen bodies under its thwarts. The hoat that carried the five sur vivors within reach of the Gregory contained but one body when it was cast adrift after the rescue. Of the Oklahoma's crew of 38, 11 manned the boat that reached the Gregory, 19 took to the other boat, and eight stayed aboard, to be saved by the Bavaria. Of the larger boat load, probably 11 were lost. Of. the 11 in the smller boat, six were drown ed when the boat capsized barely a hundred yards away from the side of the Booth liner. When the Gregory sighted thn Ok lahoma's lifeboat the benumbed sail ors had hoisted a sail which enabled them to kep their craft from boimr overwhelmed by thei gigantic seas. As tne uregory came within hailing dis tance, the shipwrecked men dromed them to keep their craft from being ost its steerageway and turned over. Then, one after the other, the three chief officers of the Gregory, without waiting to throw off clothes, plunged overthe side. They were First Officer -c. ti. Buck; Second Officer J. S. Wil- Mams, and Third Officer, F. D. Rob erts, all young Englishmen. Buck tied a bowline to himself. The :thers took no line and all but caid ;he penalty with their lives. Each officer seized a struggling sailor and 200 Striking Students Fired by Shaw University. . Raleigh, Jan. 6. The 200 "strik ing" students of Shaw University, col ored, here were entered on the regis ter of the institution this afternoon as "dishonorably discharged." They had until 3 O'clock this afternoon to apply for reinstatement and all fail ed to do so. They will be obliged to vacate the dormitories at once. About 25 students remain in good standing, these being the mala theo logical students and the girls in the industrial departments. In refusing to go on recitations last Saturday the students rebelled against alleged too rigia regulations by President Me serve, the fight being to force Doctor Meserve from the presidency. The latter declares that he will remain at the head of the institution during his natural life. He has the full support of the American Baptist Mission Board, which controls and maintains the Uni versity and of the people of this city, being highly regarded. TAKE OUR WORD.
