CAR RANZA'S THREAT TO SEIZE FOREIGN OWNED OIL PLANTS The British Fleet Obtains Much off Its Fuel From the Tampico Fields in Mexico. WASHINGTON, Jun. IS?The Unit ed States government has warned General Venuatiano Carranza that "serious consequences muy follow" his threatened confiscation or foreign owned oil plants In Tampico. This announcement was made by Secretary Bryan today after ? conference with Sir Cecil Sprlng-Rlce. the British ambassador, and representatives of American oil concerns. Already the Carranza officials have enforced a virtual embargo on the ex portation uf oil by a big English com pany. The British ambassador, at Mr. Bryan's suggestion, sent to the Brit ish consul at Vera Cruz an urgent protest for General Carranza. As tho British fleet obtains much of Its fuel from the Tampico fields, the possibil ity of serious complications over Car ranza'8 attitude is fully realized by the American government. Mr. Bryan said today that the for eign owned oil companies "feared confiscation of their well" by Carran za and that today's action had been taken to forestall such action. A de I cr?e issued by the Carranza govern I ment makes it impossible to some foreign oil companies to operate with out the consent of the Carranza au I thorltles and It is said some Amerl- 1 can concerns have been forced to pay ' so heavy a tax that they have been 1 i compelled to shut down. The prospect of a battle on the out- ' skirts of Tampico Ib expected here to ' I develop the situation further. If Villa 1 forces are victorious, a solution of the ! problem Is confidently expected be cause of previous assurances by tho , Vllla-Gutlerrex officials. The following summary of the sit- . uatton In Tampico Is a telegram from , that point dated lato yesterday was , made'public by the state department: "The lino between Monterey and lamp I co has been cut and American. , .colonists in isolated districts are sending women to Tamptco, which place is still anticipating an attack. The food supply Is said to bo short. Many Americans have* been thrown out of work on account of the oloslng , j down of the petroleum companies. On account of tbe recent petroleum de |cree and a lack of confidence in con stitutionalist money, business is said to be demoralized, it is said that in the Tampico consular district there are at least 1,200 Americans."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.?The fed eral reserve board, acting as the central committee of the $135,000.000 cotton loan fund, decided tonight not to comply with requests recently re ceived to extend the- time limit for loan applications beyond February 1. Applications mailed on that day will be tbe last considered. It developed today that bona fide applications to the New York commit tee in charge of actual administration ?f the fund amount only tu about (10,000. This fact 1b tokeu here lo Indicate that probably not more thnn i few millions of the sum subscribed svcr will be applied for. In view of this, members of tbe board felt that it ivas net just to keep all the money of the subscribing banks tied up for a period beyond February 1. In connection with its action on the loan fund the board annouced that Vf. P. G. Hardlg, its southern mem ber, shortly would visit each of the southern federal reserve banks to dlB :uss with them questions of discount rates, eligible paper and other mat ters. He also will investigate and re port on tbe cotton market and tbe probable acreage of the next crop. Although the statement docs not mow, it became known tonight that me of the purposes of Mr. Hardlng's visit is to talk with southern bank ers about tbe transfer of government funds to reserve bunks. When Sec retary McAdoo first broached ' this subject to the board nearly six. weeks igo several board members questioned the. policy of such transfers. Since that time, however, Attorney General Gregory has held that the reserve board is &n" independent co ordinate branch of the government entirely distinct from the treasury department. At tonight's meeting it was said no opposition was aroused to the plan. Mr. Harding is expected to deter mine the actum needs of reserve banks and through them the needB of mem ber banks. He probaly will discover whether reserve banks actually desire government funds and his report will put the board In a position to give Intelligent advice in the matter. WOODS TO SCOTLAND FROH GEORGETOWN Lot of Several Hundred Thousand Feet Is Shipped to Fill Many . Uses. ^ GEORGETOWN, Jsn. 14.?A con signment of several hundred thousand feet of sweetgum, tupelo gum* pop lar and sycamore logs went forward from this place a day or two ago, destined for Glasgow, Scotland. The l?ge will go across the ocean from New York. An order for more than 1,000,000 feet of such woods, in logs, has been placed here. . Inquiry develops the fact that the tupelo and sycamore are wanted In Scotland for tbe making of spools for the One cotton thread that comes from Paisley and other points; while the other woodb are wanted for pails, butter-boats, toys and the like. The Paisley thread mills atone use millions of spools per year. It is es sential to have a wood that is light In weight, white or nearly white in color and hard of texture. Tupelo gum and sycamore suit admirably for the purpose. The sweetgum will be used for veneers and for toys of-wood In which a solid, touch fibre. Is . es sential. In consequence of the great war It is thought that toy.. wooden Boldlers will be much in demand next fall and wlntsr and'that the German toymakers Of the Black forest win lose much of their patronage on tbe continent ami j m ? Great Britain ; wherefore the thrifty Scoth are. pre paring to take up. toymaklng as a side line. Sweet gum has a ,tough, .Inter laced grain, making It well udapte? for toy soldiers, croquet and other balls that must sustain smart ham mering, ten pins, mallets and the like, arlous articles of sporting goods, too. may be made from the sweet gum.
