SECURE DIRECTORS IN JUNE
Elections of Directors in All Classes
: Are Being Made Rapidly by the
Member ; Banks. 5
AVashington. Treasury Department
officials were still of' the opinion that
it. would be possible to have the 12
Federal reserve banks in operation by
August 1 although 'they say the de
mand for money to move crops has
not been such as would suggest an
great strain to be t relieved by , the
reserye banks.
Practically the remainder of June
will be required for the election of
directors of , the " Federal reserve
banks. Banks . which are to . become
members of reserve banks now are'
balloting for; directors of the A and
B classes. Each reserve bank -will
have three directors of class A and
three of class B all named by electors
elected by .; the Various member
banks. - Three . directors of - class C
are then to be designated by the Fed
eral reserve board and must be men
with banking experience."
The organization committee has
not made any call upon . member
banks as yet for the initial one-sixth
of their subscriptions to the capital"
stock of the reserve - bank to which
they, wish - to belong. ; Such a call
"hardly would be made until efter the
Federal reserve board Is confirmed by
the senate and takes up Its work in
Washington. -
Much detail work awaits the Fed
eral reserve board jifter it assumes of
fice. Secretaries and assistants to
tie members must be selected and a
complete system rt reports for the
reserve banks must be worked out.

, 1 and Cavslng Work. . : ":
Niagara Falls, Ont.-4rhe crux of the
Mexican problem, " the selection of a
man for provisional president, accept
able to all factions in Mexico and for
eign governments generally ''was
reached in a conference between the
mediators r and the American' and
Mexican delegates. - v " :
For' more than an hour names of
various' individuals were discussed
but 'on none was there a semblance
of agreement. There will be another
conference on the same subject. De
tails of the peace plan are practically
set aside now for: the greater task of
finding the man of the hour--he ..who
can reconcile the warring : factions
and. maintain . peace- while a constitu
tional election is held and' normal or
der is resumed.
Jncidentally General . Carranza's note
transmitted : by Rafael Zubaran, his
representative in Washington, arrived
advising the mediators that Constltu
tionsfclist delegates were on their way
to the mediation conference Vith full
Instructions.
The mediator's made no comment
on the note. It contains no reference
to an armistice on 'which the media
tors have been Insisting and there was
nothing to show that the mediators
had fir any way altered their determi
nation reached not to admit officially.,
th$ jpresentatlves oT General Carran
za unless an armistice was declared.
Some other way of dealing with them
perhaps through the American dele-'
gates, may be found when they arrive.
The Constitutionalist.' represents
tives are needed here to facilitate the
course of the peace program" in :.. Its
present, stages for in the discussion
of names they can be of mush servire
to . mediation- generally . by lndirating
who will, or will not be acceptable."
At present the mediators have j ac
complished . only one step . in their
Journey toward the pacification of
Mexico.. This was the adoption of the
first protocol dealing with the trans
fer of authority fro in the hands of
the present . regime to' a new provi
sional government.

arrived. Afterward he , was r- to make
the trip by rail to San Francisco to
visit the exposition at some conveni
