CURRENCY CAUCUS MAY BE NEXT MOVE President Seriously Considers Taking Bill From Senate Banking Committee. THAT BODY NOW DEADLOCKED. Is Tied on the 0'Gorman Resolution to Reduce the Number of Regional Banks. 608 Fourteenth Street. Eagle Bureau, Washington, November 8 President Wilson and the leaders of his party are tonight seriously considering the calling of a caucus of the Democratic members of the Senate to jam through the Currency Bill.

The Administration forces think the time has arrived when there will have to be a caucus on the measure, and unless the Senate committee on Banking and 1 Currency shows a disposition to get to gether and report the bill to the Senate, a caucus is to be called. Senator Kern, the majority leader of the Senate, has sent out a call requesting the Senators of party to be in Washington the first the week. A petition huis has already been circulated among the Democrats, asking for a "conference" on the bill. This petition has a suflicient number of signors to warrant the calling of the conference, which can readily be turned into a caucus if necessary. The movement to take the Currency Bill away from the Committee on Banking and Currency and give it to the majority members of the Senate to handle, gained considerable ground today, when the committee became deadlocked over the resolution offered by Senator O'Gorman to reduce the number of regional banks.

The majority of the Democratic members of the committee favored this resolution--all of them with the exception of Senator Hitchcock, voting for it. The Republican members," together with Hitchcock, were able to make it a tie vote, ever. Late this afternoon some of the lead- ing Democratic members of the Senate were callers at the White House. They were sent for by the President, and though they profesed ignorance as to what, was to be discussed, it is known that a caucus on the Currency Bill WAS the Eubject of the conference. In just what this conference will result is, of course, problematical, but it is declared here by infiuential Democrats that unless the Banking and Currency Committee reaches some agreentent by Monday which will be satisfactory to the President and the Democrats outside the committee, a caucus will be ordered.

The Administration forces on the committee are understood to have already prepared a bill. or will have it in shape coon, to submit to the Democratic caucus for approval, if the caucus be held. The President does not want a caucus unless it is absolutely necessary. A good many of the Senators of his following have wanted a caucus for weeks past, and it was only in deference to him that they held off. The Senators declare that the deadlock of today has brought the matter to a head and that the only way 10 hasten the passing of the new banking law is Lo call a caucus and take the bill from the committee, CRAZED; BEATS POLICEMAN.

Man Playing With Death on Car Tracks Lands in Cell. Throwing himselt in front of passing trolley cars, was the form of amusement resorted to by a man of about 25 years, last evening, at Broadway and Hayward street. Policeman George Heins of the Clymer street station, was attracted to the corner by the large crowd gathered around the man and elbowing his way through, he grappled with him. Several of the crowd had been knocked down in their attempt to rescue him, and 85 soon ny the officer appeared he received the same treatment. The man, who was well dressed and of a powerful build, tripped the officer in the mud.

Lieutenant Smith of the Clymer street station, was notified that Heins was getting the worst of it. Patrolman Martin Short jumping into a passing automobile, went at top speed to the rescue, and arrived pust as It appeared that Heins was becoming exhausted. He struck the stranger a sharp blow under the jaw and knocked him unconscious. The man was taken to the Clymer station and locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct and assault. He was evidently suffering from intoxication, and refused to give his name or his address.

Will Go Slowly Enough to Be Sure He Is Right, He Says at Dinner of Merchants Association. Mayor- -elect John Purroy Mitchel, speakIng at the dinner of the New York Merchants Association, held last night in the Waldorf-Astoria, said that he was going to make his appointments very slowly and pay more attention to the qualifications and abilities of the men SO chosen than to the prominence of their names. He invited suggestions, and said he would welcome applications for the positions which he had to fill. "The greatest problem, the first problem of my administration," he said, "Is the organization of the city departments and bureaus through the appointments that the new mayor must make. "If that problem is successfully solved, the administration is launched successfully--or at least with a prospect of success.

If it be solved wrongly, the administration is likely to be wrecked at the beginning. I propose to go slowly enough to be sure that right before I actto go slowly enough to make full inquiries into the qualifications of every man whom I consider for appointment to any post, whether it be high or low. Will Not Seek First Men Prominent Community. "I think also that it is more desirable, in selecting appointees for these important posts, to seek out men who have the qualifications, the energy and the character, rather than merely seeking to find men with names that are 'prominent in the community. Very often the name will be found possessed by the man who has the ability and the equipment, but my first thought will be the latter, the equipment, rather than the name alone.

"I will welcome applications for appointments to the offices that I shall be called upon to fill. I shall welcome suggestions and advice, and I will deal with them with the same business method of procedure, investigation and inquiry that is employed by successful business houses in dealing with applications for positions." Mr. Mitchel said that there was going to be complete co-operation and harmony throughout the incoming administration, and added that it was the first time in many years that men of the same ideals and principles with reference to municipal affairs had contorlled the government of city. In introduction, the Mayor-elect then said that it was very. befitting that he should attend, as his first formal dinner, after his election, the banquet of the Merchants Association, because it was in co-operation with them that he first took part i in civic affairs.

They helped him, he said, in the Ahearn investigation and the Fire Department investigation, following the Parker Building holocaust. Mr. Mitchel also said that he considered the result of the recent election a mark of the publie approval of the policy of the present Board of Estimate and that in view of that it was up to the new administration to continue the same policy. He invited the co-operation of the members of the Merchants' Association in future undertakings the administration and said that they had already been helpful to him in the work of initiating the South Brooklyn Terminal improvement and the West Side Dock improve- ment. Whitman Pays Tribute to Mitchel.

District Attorney Charles S. Whitman, who was next introduced, paid a nigh tribute to Mayor-elect Mitchel and gave assurance that there will be the heartiest co-operation between the Mayor and the District Attorney's office. "I never believed in Fusion so strongly I do tonight." asid Mr. Whitman. "In fact, I claim to be the original and most absolute Fusionist here at this table.

and I believe that when the four years of the new administration have passed the good people of the city representing all the parties will do what good people of all parties did a few, weeks ago, and however many columns there will be on the ballot, there will be but 0110 ticket. and the names on that ticket will be those of the three gentlemen just elected." Mr. Whitman then spoke of the personalities which were engaged in during the recent campaign. do not agree with Mr. Mitchel," said he.

"that in the campaign just ended personalities were not used. If I recall there were many personalities. And I do not agree with him that it was altogether a victory for principle, although it was a victory and a glorious vietory for principles and good citizenship. was a glorious victory for the honcrable, faithful, upright, able American citizen and public officer, who, during an unusually bitter campaign, conducted himselt always with great propriety and dignity and made himself all illustrious example and model for candidates in all future campaigns in this city." William A. Marble, president of the sociation.

was tonstmaster and the first speaker of the evening was Mayor Kline, who referred ed to the South Brooklyn Torminal improvement as one of the biggest undertakings and the most important commercial improvement that the city has on foot. Among those at the guest table were: Charles J. McCormack, Borough President. of Richmond: Douglas E. Mathewson.

Brough President-elect of the Bronx: Marcus Marks. Borough Presi of Manhattan: George MeAneny, President of the Board of Aldermen. The dinner was given in the honor of the newly elected city officials. All of them were invited and nearly all attended. Lewis H.

F. B. TORREY DIES ON RAILROAD TRAIN Well-Known Crescent Athletic Club Member Succumbs to Heart Failure. RETURNING FROM PRINCETON. Had Witnessed Football Game-Apparently in Usual Health When He Started for Home.

On the way back from HarvardPrinceton football game yesterday afternoon, Frank B. Torrey of 103 Second place, Brooklyn, dropped dead on board of one of the special trains, from heart disease. He was 55 years old. Two physicians on board the same train worked over him until the train reached the Pennsylvania station in Jersey City. The body was taken off train to the emergency hospital in the railroad terminal, and was later removed to an undertaking establishment.

Mr. Torrey wasa member of the Crescent Athletic Club, and for many years had been themanager of the baseball team. eH had attended the football game at Princetono Field in company with Samuel J. Reid, formerly a Princeton baseball captain, and last season captain of the Crescent Club nine; E. S.

Pendleton and Walter B. Cosgrove, also members of the Crescent lub. There was absolutely no warning to his companions that Mr. Torrey was ill. He had not complained of feeling badly during the game, and at the Princeton railroad station, the party boarded the second special train that pulled out.

The train had not traveled many miles out of the college town, when Mr. Torrey suddenly leaned forward, and his glasses fell into the hands of Mr. Reid, who sat beside him. The Crescent men raised Mr. Torrey up.

and he appeared to be lifeless. A search for physicians in the train resulted in the finding of Dr. Nathaniel Mill of the St. Francis Hospital, Manhattan, who was a passenger in the same car, and Dr. Brennan, who gave his address as the University Club, New York.

The two physicians tried to restore life by means of artificial respiration, but to no purpose. The Crescent Club party had seats near the end of the car, and the fact that one of them had dropped dead, did not become known but to a very few of the passengers in the adjoining seats. A previous attack of heart disease had been suffered by Mr. Torrey last summer, but he had apparently recovered completely. Only six weeks ago, Mr.

Torrey'6 mother, who was 78 years old, dropped dead suddenly while sojourning in the country. She also was the victim of heart disease. Mr. Torrey was a bachelor and the only surviving member of the family is a sister, Miss, Gertrude Torrey, who also lives at the Second place residence. No plans for the funeral had been made last evenin, For the past twenty-five years, Mr.

Torrey had been connected with the Union Trust Company of 80 Broadway, Manhattan, and at the time of his death, he held the responsible position as trust ofAcer for that company. He was a graduate of Columbia University, class of 1881, and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and the Psi Upsilon fraternities. In the Crescent Athletic Club he was considered as one of the mainstays of the club, his special hobby being the baseball team, for which he had been the manager for many years. He had been a member of the club since the time it was a comparatively small organization. For the past forty years the Torrey family have been members of the South Congregational Church at Court and President street, and Frank Torrey was one of its trustees at the time of his death.

"EXCELLENT IDEA," HE SAYS. Colonel Goethals Would Make an Ideal Police Commissioner, Is Consensus of Opinion. There is a possibility, that Colonel George W. Goethals, chairman of the Panama Canal Commission, will be the new Police Commissioner under the administration of Mayor -elect John Purroy Mitchel. The Mayor -elect, who will visit Maternal during be a his guest cruise of in Colonel Southern Goethals during his stay on the Isthmus, and it is regarded as very likely he will discuss the matter with the man who has been the master genius in the construction of the great waterway.

Mr. Mitchel did not have Colonel Goethals in mind until the suggestion was made to him yesterday afternoon. "'That is an excellent idea," he re- Colonel George W. Goethals, Who Is 8 Possibility as Police Commissioner Under New Administration. marked with great enthusiasm, "I never thought of it before." As an organizer Colonel Goethals has work of restoring out of the chaotic achieved videos distinction.

The conditions, that prevailed in the canal zone when Colonel Goethals took hold, was the heaviest burden of the whole undertaking. But in addition to this tremendous task he also wag the arbiter of all disputes, official, civil and even in families. The personal interest that he displayed in the thousands of civil employes on the canal gave him a keen insight into human character. He was the prosecutor, counsel for the defense, jury and judge in all these matters, and today he is, perhaps, the most popular as well as the most feared man in the canal zone. As practically the ruler of the thousands of civil.

employes, it has been suggested that he would make an ideal head for the 10,000 men who compose New York's police department. -elect Mitener will sail on Wednesday on the Zavapa of the United Fruit Company.

No Final Word From Huerta Yet. That no final word had come from Huerta as to the American demands presented by Charles O'Shaughnessy was admitted tonight by State Department offcials. The next step, it is believed. will not be decided until Huerta's reply 1s actualy received. In the meantime, the President expects to keep members of Congress closely informed.

He did not take his customary Saturday afternoon automobile ride, but remained at the White House absorbed in the dispatches from Mexico. Besides Senators Stone and Swanson, Speaker Clark saw the President late today, but declined to say whether he had talked about Mexico. The President expects to forego his usual Sunday custom of banishing official business for the day and will see some of the members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The President is said to be impressing upon all those who discuss the subject with him that it is the duty of the United States to see to it that the arbitrary assumption of power by Huerta, followed by his dictatorship, should not be permitted to ripen into a precedent in Latin- America. No Official Comment on Tidings From Mexico.

Absolutely no official comment was forthcoming tonight on the dispatches from Mexico City announcing that Huerta would be aided by English financial interests in meeting the immediate expenses. Prominent senators said, however, they did not believe the Huerta government could be sustained long by private interests. Information of the part the English interests are said to have played in supporting the Huerta Government has been in possession of the United States Government for sone time and persons in the confidence of President Wilson declared he had this phase of the situation in mind when he made his Mobile speech attacking the influences of material interests of foreign nations in the political affairs of Central and South American republics.

Mrs. Marie Cooper, who lives at 1065 Flushing avenue, believes that she is a lucky woman even if she did try to end her life last night by swallowing two tablets of bichloride of mercury. Although she did not make a success of the mercury job, she was successful in recovering a set of false teeth which had been reposing in her stomach for several months. Mary did not know whether to cry last night in St. Catherine's Hospital, or to laugh over the fact that she once more has her false teeth.
