Jan. 5.?That Gen uerta intends to resign the presidency of Mexico in t.:e near future? a rumor often denied by him in the cost emphatic terms?again is percicftintl v roiinrto^ in t Vi a ? > r?51 .? 1 WWWV41WI,* * V^Vi * ii tUV/ wu A . A ' is said that iie will take the field ic jfcerson against the rebels after yielding the presidency. Enrique Gerostieta. minister of justice, will be selected as his successer, according tc the understanding. Sen or Gerostieta is said to have been offered the portfolio of foreign affairs, succeeding^ Queredo Moheni with the understanding that he assume the presidency. He has consented to the plan, it is said, only on condition that the deputies imprisoned by Huerta last October be freed He had many friends among tbe deputies and never has been in sympathy with Gen. Huerta's treatment of them. Under the alleged plan, Senor Gerostieta will hold tue presidency for a limited period, turning it over to Gen. Geronimo Trevinor of Monterey, who on previous occasions has been talked of as possible successor to Huerta, and to whom, it is urged, Washington could have no objection. Gen. Trevino was the friend and trusted officer of Porfirio Diaz. He has kept aloof from the* politicial developments of the last three years. The release of 26 deputies on New Year's day and the announcement of the early release of virtually all tae other deputies are pointed to as further evidences of the possible truth of the report. Persons close to Huerta are quoted as saying that failure to obtain funds in Europe is shaking the faith of the president is his ability to cope with the situation It is said he appears N less reluctant to listen to the suggestions of friends on the subject of iis resignation.

Jonn IjIMU oi upiiuon i uai >> in Mexico is Certain.?For Close Patrol Along the Border. Washington, Jan. 7.?Word has reached Washington that when President Wilson and John Lind conferred on board the cruiser Chester, Mr. Lind expressed the belief that the waiting policy of the Uaited States government towards Mexico was certain to be rewarded with) success. The president is said to have been well satisfied with the rer.ort of his personal representative. The severity and long continuance ot the battles in the neighborhood of Ojmaga have lea omciais 10 me conclusion that there must be a weak spot in the American patrol through which ammunition is being smuggled across t.ie line. It has been understood constitutionalists were obtaining ammunition by capturing federal supplies, but federals in the north, with few exceptions, for many weeks have been completely cut off from communication by rail or road with any base from which they themselves could get ammunition, and it is believed the constitutionalists must have been supplied from the Ameri^ ^ ^ +V? /\ lin a Affnrf Cclll S1UC UJ.

Florida, and Utah, which will leave Hampton Roads soon for winter manoeuvres in the West Indies, will relieve the Rhode Island, New Jersey and Nebraska, which are expected to leave their Mexican stations the middle of iFebruarv. Asked today as to the United states maintaining a continuous patrol in Mexican waters despite the notice last summer from Senor Gamboa, Huerta's former minister for foreign affairs, that American war craft would aiot be welcome, after October. Mr. Daniels replied that the United States did not recognize the Huerta govern merit. ( lenison >otes. Special to The Herald and News.

New York, Jan. 7.?The federal reserve organization committee today concluded its hearings in New York, having devoted three days to ascer! taining the views of New York bank' ers concerning the task with which the committee is charged, of setting ' up the regional reserve districts provided in the new law and selecting ' the cities in which the banks are to ' be placed. The committee, consisting : nf s^prptarv McAdoo of the treasury 1 and Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture, will proceed tol morrow to Boston. After the hearings .'here had been concluded, Secretary McAdoo was asked whether he had been impress-! ed by the arguments advanced almost! unanimously by New York bankers I ! who have appeared in favor of establishment here a regional bank of, , such size that it would overshadow I all the others. i "I hoDe." said the secretary smil-1 ! ~ j ingly, "that I am not as green as I; i look." J >o Conclusions Keached. j Mr. McAdoo would say nothing1 ! more, further than that the commit-! tee had reached no conclusions. Those I : who attended the 'hearings and lis- j tened to the objections raised by the : committee to the proposal for a huge New York bank believed the most j i probable solution of the question, in j the light of evidence so far adduced,1 was the placing of three or four regional banks on or near the Atlantic instead of having one large ; I district centreing in New York and ; ' including New England and part of all of the Middle Atlantic States. ! The cities most frequently men-1 tioned in this connection were Xcw , York, Boston, Baltimore and Atlanta. Washington and Philadelphia 1 were also alluded to often, but it was ! the opinion of a majority of the wit- | nesses that Baltimore was entitled to preference over either of these . i cuies. Object to Washington. i Washington was objected to be- i cause no large commercial interests j ; centre in that city, although some of j the witnesses said it would be of ad- j I vantage to establish a bank there to ! be in close touch with the federalj ! I i board. Arguments in favor of Balti- j i more rather than Philadelphia were > based on the supposed advisability of a more equal geographical distribution of the regional banks, it being j thought that New York and Philadel1 nrAvnn'tv tn ! yxua were ux wu nuoc - i have each a bank. It was said also ,'that Baltimore, by reason of its lo| cation and foreign and domestic trade affiliations, would serve better than Philadelphia the States of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and other ter: ritory north of the section which may j be attached to Atlanta. Doctors Form "Black List'' The doctors in Greenville did a good thing the other day when they met i nnd dpfidpd nnoii a black list to pro tect themselves against people who ; can pay but will not. In all communities there are those in unfortunate circumstances who are worthy; and all truly good doctors are kind and charitable, but every community j'has among its citizens a certain class | who are able to pay but who are so | dishonest they don't hesitate to chcut ' a doctor or a merchant or an editor I or anybody. It is against that class ; the doctors of Greenville are to have I the black list. The man who is able to pay a kind and good doctor, but will not, is the meanest sort of man ' in any community. , j i NEGRO SHOOTS MERCHANT. I T.
