I'ass Christian, Mis-!.. Doc. 31.
President Wilson did not sacrifice his
program of nine-hour sleep to the
custom observed by thousands
throughout the country of watching
the old year pass, lie went to bed
early, as usual, and hoped to get a
good night's rest before his confer^
enee tomorrow with John Llnd, who
* will report in full his observations
during his months in Mexico.
The President declined today to
say whether he would go aboard the
revenue cutter Winona or the scout
cruiser Chester on which Mr. Lind
sailed from Vera Cruz, but indications
were that the conference would take
place at the cottage where the President
is spending his vaction.
The entire affair is cloaked in deep
mystery, every effort being made to
keep secret all phases of Mr. Lind's
arrival or departure.
HIS USUAL GAME.
After the President had played his
usual game of gcdf, he met Representative
Harrison on the links, and
the latter hurried to the commander
of the Winona which was lying off
the pier.
Immediately the little vessel turned
her prow to sea, and tonight was
cruising about Ship island, about
eight miles due south of here. Mr.
Harrison said he was unable to talk
about the Incident. At the President's
cottage it was stated that Mr.
Wilson had not yet dieoded what he
would do tomorrow and that he
would await word of the sighting of
the Chester before making up his
mind.
It is apparent here that the President
desires to have Mr. Lind avoid
publicity in connection with his visit
here, and there Is good cause for the
belief that the original plan was not
^ to divnlge Mr. Lind's destination
when he left Vera Cruz. It was in
this connection that arrangements
were first made to have the President
board the Winona, it having been
stated that the President might use
the Winona "for a yatching trip."
PURPOSE KKPT SECRET.
The purpose of concealing Mr.
Lind's visit has not been disclosed,
but with the publicity that now has
been given his movement it is believed
the original plans have been
abandoned.
This afternoon the President walked
to town on a shopping expedition.
He bought a tooth brush and lamp
shade, while a group of villagers
waited outside the stores to see him.
The President looked robust and
healthy as he swung along the street
at a brisk walk.
The citizens of Pass Christian gave
a banquet tonight in honor of the
President and the attaches of his
party, but Mr. Wilson did not attend.
He sent his regrets through Dr. Cary
Grayson, tT. S! N., his naval aide, who
represented him at the dinner.
MANY BANKS DESIRE
TO EMBRACE SYSTEM
Nearly Fight Hundred to Snter New
Currency Organ!/.ation?FortyFive
States Itepresentde.
Washington, Dec. 31.?Six hundred
and ninety-five national banks; 4!
state banks and 23 trust companies
covering over 45 states and having
an aggregate capital exclusive of surplus
of approximately $300,000,000,
have informed the federal authorities
of their intention to enter the
new currency system. This was announced
by the treasury department
tonight, a week after the currency
reform law was enacted.
The department's statement said:
"Six hundred and ninety-five applications
have been received from na
tional hanks with an aggregate capital
of about $250,000,000, so that up
to this time national banks representing
approximately one-fourth of
the total national hanking capital of
the country already have signified
their Intention to enter the system.
"Forty-nine state hanks and 23
trust companies also have notified the
department of their Intention to become
members. Of the 695 national
banks applying, 53 are in the NewEngland
states, 112 In the Eastern
states, 191 In the Southern states. 22 7
In the Middle states, 69 In the Western
states and 43 in the Pacific states.
"Of the national banks 69 have n
capital of $1,600,000 or more. 142
have a capital of from $250,000 to
$1,000,000; 270 have a capital of
from $100,000 to $250,000 and 214
have a capital of less than $100,000.
"Two trust compnnoes applying
hav?"a capital of $5,000,j)00 or more
and four trust companies have a capltal
of from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000,

pie of this country hardly realize just $20,105,4
what that currency bill means to the Nevada lc
South particularly. He says that the
South will begin to realize the benefit ,
from it at once, because the changed ;
[conditions in regard to money will

the future the currency of the country
will be based strictly on the real
i wealth of the land, and it is backed
by the land itself.

For the farmer the benefits may be
