WILSON CONFERS NEW PLAN FOR PEACE President Will' Discuss Mexi can, Situation With His Cabinet Tomorrow. ML NOTE TO NAT1QIIS I UI1II Diaz is Denied Visitors on Board the Louisiana Mexican Newspapers -Dislike United States Policy- Fighting. Wlashington,- Oct..- 29. President Wilson has under consideration a new plan for restoring peace in Mexico which" he, will diseuss "with his cabi net Friday . and make public within . a few days. -, '': . --'. ... : - '. Officials were reticent as ; to . what is contemplated. As the United States has asked not only the European gov ernments but those of Latin-America and the Orient to Withhold the formu lation of their-policy toward Mexico until the Washingtongovernment can make known its plana for dealing with the situation, the solution of which the President and Secretary Bryan are working, is. believed to be more comprehensive than any suggestions heretofore made for . the pasification of the Southern Republic. High offi cials of the government, while de clining to say what steps wojld .be taken by the United States, .decjared that the purposes-and aims of the government had been explained in the President's speeches at Swarthmore, Pa., and Mobile, AJa. The Americari governments, course of action ;wilHbe embodied in a formal note which- it is expected will set .forth the prlnci-. ple that constitutional . government alone must be established out of the chaos in Mexico - - and - wilt- suggest means' for accomplishing .

The inability: of the Huerta govera ment to -conduct a constitutional election; it. is thought, ; will lead the American govetnment to suggest , a method of holding the ; elections in which safeguards and guarantees can be given which ;.ill permit the -con-4 stitutionalists vtov participate ireeiy. Diplomats here generally believe that before suggestions concerning . any election can be icarried out the elimi nation of Huerta from the situation must be accomplished. - It is thought that in much the same way as President Wilson outlined re cently to John bind, the points on which a satisfactory settlement "of the trouble in Mexico, seemed to be conditioned, ihe will repeat his sug gestions, but will add the "stipulation that some one acceptable to all fac tions be placed, in provisional authori ty to conduct a fair and free election. Details of an election plan, it is thought, would accompany such sug gestions. A Other Alternatives Various alternatives, "suchas more support for the constitutionalist, cause, or lifting the: embargo on armsj, have been suggested as ways to Influ-. ence Huerta's retirement. That some comprehensive - plan for - dealing with the situation -is expected by Europe was apparent today: when the char acter of the representations made by the diplomats at--Mexico - City- to their home governments -. became known. Although no collective opinion was reached at the recent conference of diplomats at the; , Mexican - capital, many of them, it was learned today. criticised the United States severely for not taking such steps as would in . . . j. Ji restore tranauillty. Some suggested intervention in one form- or. another. The French minister Is said to have been among those who roundly criticised the American policy "while the Spanish minister is declared to have made caustic reference to the invasion of the Tights of 'Spanish na tionals while the United States main tained a quiescent" attitude. Notfe to Nations. Secretary Bryan said today that a formal note had been sent to all Euro pean governments asking them-to sus pend formulating of a policy Jdward Mexico until . the "United States .had denned its attitude. ' England, France and Germany, : he -said, already, had been heard from and it wasexpected that the other governments would fol low. :: :: . It is expected" that the ; 'i United States will first niake formal demand for the elimination of Huerta and the conduct of fair i and free, elections, possibly with some safeguards to sys tematize the election machinery. There was absolutely no comment forthcom ing, however,! from -executive -quarters as to just what was Intended by. the United States, Steps to secure a new election ..would " Involve negotiations with the Constitutionalists and there is a -confidence aipong administration ofiicials that if guarantees for a free campaign can be arranged through the establishment, of provisional author ity at Mexico City acceptable to the Constitutionalists.tbe latter are ' like ly to fall into line. ' : ' Secretary. Bryan, said that the State Department had hot: yet decided what dispositionwould be made" of -General Felix Diaz, a refugee aboard the bat tleship Louisiana. a s The sailing today .of four American battleships from Hampton Roads to relieve those at Vera' Cruz, marks the first step on the part of the United States toward complying with the re cent declaration, of:.

MADE Many Amendments to Administration Currency BJIl Were Adopted by Committee' Yesterday In- " crease Board. Washington, ;Oct. 29. Important change? in the administration cur reftcy bill resulted from today's 'exe cutive work on measure by the Senate Committee. - -, Tile committee passed over for la- rier . acuon ine proposition to sudsu- vums .f a ctJBira, governmenx-coniroHea ban' for the regional bank plan in the Dili on which the membera were even- ij' qivmeu auu pruceeuea to peneci the details of the measure. The complexion of the proposed re- rserve Doara was materially altered by amendments adopted today, , and - - it probably will be further changed. It was -decided to increase the member ship of the board, from seven, as fixed in the House bill, to nine and to elimi nate the secretary of agriculture and the comptroller of the currency from service on the board. The committee decided to arrange the terms so that one member s service would expire each- year.. " " "This provision is designed to meet the demand that the service of mem bers of the board be given continuity to enable them to profit by their expe rience on the board. It was. decided to eliminate the or ganization committee proposed by the House bill, and.- to have the Federal reserve board appointed immediately with the power to organize and place In-operation any system "devised, whether a central bank plan or a re gional bank scheme is finally agreed upon. t - - A large part of today's session was devoted to a discussion of the number of regional banks, to be created if the regional Dlan is retained, but no con clusion was reached. Administration supporters endeavored to keep the number "as near twelve as possible but other, members of the 'committee favored four, five or six banks.

C, Oct. 29. As in timated in a note made public the day he signed the urgent deficiency bill carrying- the Overman resolution ex empting deputy marshals and collec tors from the civil service - law. Pres ident . Wilson tonight, through Com-' missioner Osborne, notified every col lector of internal revenue in the unit ed States that in selecting deputies the one and only requirement: must be efficiency, and that politics must not enter into the question. Commission er Osborne's letter says that the law was changed for no other purpose than to get : more efficient men and that" the discharging of deputies for political reasons will not becounte nnced for a moment. That President Wilson .wOuld take the action he did today .was forecasted exclusively in these dispatches the day Mr, -Wilson Signed the bill. That he would inter fere in the matter has been repeatedly denied. His actionr today, however, confirms everything that was stated in this correspondence a:few days ago. Senator Simmons has recommended former State Senator E.. M. Green, of Newbern, for appointment, as assiHtaui. district ' attorney for the n East. Sena tors Simmops and Overman will call upon Attorney General McReynolds to morrow and; tell Mr. McReynolds they are about ready to make recommenua tinna trr flistriftt attorney and United fStatesv marshal for the - Eastern and 1 ' i ..a i. ml. mill r western Qisiricis. xuey make these recommendations, . how ever, before Saturday., The call tomor row will be in the nature of a notifi cation to the attorney general in or der that he may request the resigna tions of the Republican incumbents, if he desires to do so, and it is be lieved he will do so at once. Guilford, Rockingham, and Randomh bounties have been taken from ; the Eastern Internal revenue district and added to that of the West. The change was made by an executive or der jof President Wilson. It has no po litical significance. The-change was made in order to more equally divide the State. - P; R. A.- : - WILL. yOU GET -O N E ?

Speakers for the society to lower rents and reduce taxes on homes, ac companied by two women distributing', , their literature, sought to . win votes - - opposite, the hall. Crowds of Tamma ny sympathizers watched the invaders take their stand opposite the office oc- cupied by Charles, F, Murphy, leader of Tammany, and heard one of the speakers point to the hall and shout: "The man who Is responsible for high ; rents -and taxes is. over there." "Votes for Mitchell' banners and signs soon were trampled under foot . and the women were escorted without; ceremony-to their wagons-where the- speaker got no further, than ihs first declaration. 1 ; other speakers had no better success and the 'meetiner was adjourned to another neighborhood. ;i .
