GURRENGY PLAN
House Committee in Favor of
Credit Notes and Guar
anty of Deposits.
RETJRE PBESENT CURRENCY
Republicans Agree, Reserving Right
to Differ on Details All Govern
ment Payments to Be
, Made Through Banks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. By a vote of
11 to 5. three members being present and
not voting, the House committee on bann
ing and currency today- authorized the
chairman Representative Fowler, of New
Jersey, to report to the House the Fowler
currency bill with the recommendation
Hint it be passed. The vote was cast as
follows:
Ayes Fowler (N. J.), - Prince (111.),
I'owers (Me.), McMorran (Mich.), Weems
(O.), McCreary (Pa.), Waldo (N. Y.),
Hayes (Cal.), Weeks (Mass.), Durcy N.
Y.), Gillespie (Tex.).
Noes Burton (O.). Ollie James (Ky.),
McKinley (111.), Lewis (Ga.), Crawford
(N. C).
Present and not votingT-McHenry (Pa.),
Pirjo (La.), Glass' (V.).
Mr. Weeks, In voting- for the favorable
report on the "bill, reserved the right to
oppose on the. .floor the cause providing
for a Federal guaranty of National bank
deposits. -
Reserve Right to Dissent.
Thoush the conclusion to report the bill
favorably was reached as the result of
weeks of hearing and exhaustive discus
sion of its various provisions in executive
session,1 the decision does not commit the
banking and currency committee to its
support on the floor of the House.
Ten of the eleven members who vt-a
for the favorable report reserved the in
dividual right to oppose any section or
to offer and urge any amendment w..en
the bill is called up. A majority of the
committee felt the necessity of getting tne
bill before the House without further
delay, so that its provisions as revised In
committee may become a subject of open
debate, both In the House of Representa
tives and In the press of the country.
Six Important Changes.
The committee amended the bill in six
of its salient features. The clause per
mitting National banks to do a trust and
savings bank business was amended by
striking out the savings bank section. The
clause making all of the National banks
within ach of the proposed reserve dis
tricts specifically liable for 10 per cent
of the check and note liabilities of failed
National banks within that district was
revised to read 25 per cent.
The bill, as originally framed, allowed
efti-h National bank to take out National
credit notes to the extent of 100 per cent
of its capital stock with the approval of
the Comptroller of the Currency and an
unjimited additional amount with the ap
proval of the Board of Managers of the
rcserve district to which the bank' be
longed. This provision was revised so
that the total amount of credit notes Is
sued to any. bank could not exceed 200
per cent of its capital stock. ' '
, Guaranty of Deposits.
The- bill' originally provided that of the
deposit guaranty fund to be created by
a tax of 2 per cent on the credit notes
issued. 80 per cent should be invested
in United States 2 per cent bonds and
20 per cent should be held, in reserve.
This is a gold fund. The bill as re
vised stipulates the investment of the
entire fund In United States 2s and fixes
their flat purchase price at 104. which
Was the average price for the month of
February last.
The revised bill, in order to carry out
the bond currency retirement clause, pro
vides that after the guaranty fund has
reached the sum of J:i5,000,000. the Sec
retary of the Treasury shall issue gold
certificates to take the place of an equal
amount of outstanding greenbacks. As
the estimated annual tax on credit notes
would be J14.000.000. about 14 years would
be required frir the total retirement, of
the country's present bond-secured cur
rency after the guaranty fund reached
the amount of J25.000.000.
One of the most interesting provisions
of the bill, as revised in committee, re
quires the Government to collect its
claims and pay its current expenses
through the banks. That is, the Gov
ernment would continue to hold In the
Treasury the greenback redemption fund
amounting to J150.000.000 and the gold
certiticate redemption fund amounting to
TS25.flOO.0O0, but its general fund for tho
conduct of the Government would be
kept on deposit in various National banks,
subject to check; and Instead of paying
out general moneys by voucher and
Treasury checks, payments would be by
bank checks.
Democrats for Williams Bill.
At the minority conference some weeks
ago, which resulted in the introduction
by John Sharp Williams of the minority
currency bill, the plan was practically
agreed -to- that the -Democratic members
of the- banking and currency committee
should at the. proper time make a mi
nority" report offering' the Williams 1)111
as a substitute for the Fowler bill. This
was to be tentatively submitted to a
Joint conference to be held by the minor
ity of the finance committee in the Sen
ate and of the banking and currency
committee in the House. That confer
ence has not been held. The reason re
ported is that the minority in the Senate
has bound itself to the Bailey bill as a
substitute for the Aldrich, and therefore
is unwilling to confer with the House
minority on the Williams bill.
Ten days were granted by the com
. mittee to the Democratic members in
which to agree upon a substitute for
the Fowler bill and to submit a minor
ity report.
What Bill Will Accomplish.
Mr. Fowler tonight made public a
synopsis of the committee report which
he will make up and submit to the House.
The synopsis claims for the bill that it
will unify the banking interests of the
United States; will secure a. uniform and
adequate- reserve in gold coin to protect
all bank credits and thereby protect the
interests of all depositors; establish a
scientific and simple monetary system;
will give the country a true credit cur
rency system, by which current credits
will also Increase and decrease in strict
accordance with the demands of business;
will give to bankers, farmers, producers,
manufacturers and merchants and to all
others having bank accounts the right to
have their credits in that form which
will best serve their need; will give to
the masses of the people Just as econo
mical and cheap credits as the rich and
powerful have; will establish a currency
based upon the products of labor and
redeemable In gold coin; will give to pro
ducers and merchants the opportunity to
coin thetr commodities into currency,
which the banks will be compelled to
redeem In gold coin; -will establish in the

thereby preventing panics and stopping
the hoarding of money; will' completely
divorce the operations of the United
States Treasury from the trade and com
merce of the country and thereby prevent
continuance of a disturbing factor in
the business of the country.
HOUSE RAISES FAY' OF ARMY
Rejects Provision for Joint Maneu
vers by Majority of One.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Without a dis
senting voice the House early in the
day, under a special rule, restored
to the Army Appropriation bill the
provisions to increase the pay of non
commissioned officers and men and to pro
hibit the private employment of Army
musicians for pay, both of which yes
terday went out on points of order.
The House took up an amendment of
fered by Foster, of Illinois, appropriating
Jl.500,000 tor joint maneuvers of the mil
itia organizations of the several states
and the Regular Army. It provokeu ex
tended debate, Hull and Tawney leading
in opposition.
The latter repeated his recent warning
that, if appropriations were not kept
down the country would surely be con
fronted with a large deficit.
Against the amendment Holllday, of
Indiana, was especially vigorous. He
could see no war specter on the horizon
now or in the dim luture. The country
was in no danger from any quarter near
"or 40,000 miles away." The American peo
ple, he declared, were tired of jingoism,
militarism and the effort being made to
divert men from peaceful pursuits to enter
the military establishment. He was
roundly applauded when he expressed the
conviction that the money could be bet
ter expended in - giving employment to
men out of work. v .
The amendment was altered so as to
limit the amount to $1,000,000 and as mod
ified was agreed to. on division, 56 to 4S,
but on the vote being taken by tellers it
was lost, 59 to 60.
COXEY BILXi FOR UNEMPLOYED
"General" Proposes Bonds to' Secure
'. Currency for Payment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Mr. Brumm,
of Pennsylvania, today introduced in the

Jacob S. Coxey, "to provide for public im
provements and employment of the citi
zens of the United States to encourage
industry and produce prosperity, and to
procure money to purchase and pay for
public utilities, and for the redemption of
6aid money."
The bill- provides that when there is a
surplus production, with no demand for
labor at living wages, states, territories',
counties, townships, municipalities or in
corporated towns and villages may, for
the purpose of employing idle men and
women on public works. Issue non-interest-bearing
25-year bonds not in excess
of one-half of the assessed valuation of
their real estate, these bonds to be depos
ited with the Secretary of the Treasury,
who shall issue Treasury notes on this se
curity, the money so realized to be used in
employment of idle persons at a minimum
rate of $1.50 a day for common labor,
women to be paid the same as men, and
eight hours to constitute a day's work.
The bonds are retirable at the interest
rate of 4 per cent.

STRUCK BY
1J
Causes Exposure of Bulldozing
of Operators on Santa
Fe Road.
BLUFF CALLED BY KNAPP
Inquiry Into Nine-Hour Law Brings
to Light System of Intimidation
of Operators Harriman's Man
Is Flatly Contradicted.
WASHINGTON, Feb: 28. A boomer
ang was sprung by C. H". Gaunt, assist
ant general manager of the Santa Fe
Railroad, when he declared that he
had letters from. 1400 telegraph
operators on the system denying that
H. B. Perham, president of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers, was author
ized to represent them before the In
terstate Commerce Commission in the
inquiry into the necessity for postpon
ing the operation of the nine-hour
law. He had no sooner made the
statement today than Chairman Knapp
interjected.
Letters Obtained by Threats.
"I have a score of telegrams from
operators on your line which state
that they signed such letters as you
refer to under protest."
"I would like to know," suggested
Mr. Gaunt, "who they nre."
"I cannot furnish you with that in
formation," responded the chairman
laughingly.
Thereupon Mr. Knapp read two or
three of the telegrams, which in ef
fect stated that the signers had been
threatened with dismissal if they re
fused to sign letters, which were writ
ten at the dictation of officials of the
Santa Fe Railroad. Mr. Gaunt pre
sented some of the letters which he
had in hand, and Mr. Knapp inquired if
they had been prepared by officials of
the company.
"They were not," replied Mr. Gaunt.
The chairman then read a letter
from an operator who said that he had
been presented with a letter prepared
for his signature by an official of the
company.
Perham Tells of Intimidation.
Mr. Perham explained that he had in
in. his possession letters from a thou
sand or more men on the Santa Fe
system authorizing mm to represent
them at this hearing. He alleged that
the Santa Fe endeavored to Intimidate
its operators;- that operators had been
discharged for trivial causes, among
the causes being membership In the
Order of Railway Telegraphers. He
produced a telegram informing him
that three operators had been dis
charged because they had declined to
sign a letter to the Interstate Com
mence. Commission presented to them
by the company.
Mr. Gaunt explained that the Santa
Fe . had had difficulty with the
telegraphers' order because of the
strike on the line several years ago
and that, owing to that trouble, It is
experiencing difficulty now in secur
ing men to man its wires under the
new law.
Santa Fe May Close Offices.
"Suppose you cannot get. the men,"
inquired Mr. Knapp, "what will you
do?"
"Close the offices which we can
not man," replied Mr. Gaunt, "and in
cur the additional hazard of operation.
In the course of time we shall re
open these offices, but it may take us
six months."
Hilary A. Herbert, ex -Secretary of
the Navy, made an argument in behalf
of the Seaboard Airline. He contend
ed that owing to the financial condi
tion of the road it could not comply
With the law without embarrassment
in its operating expenses.
'Dillard Flatly Contradicted.
Mr. Dillard, representing the Union
Pacific, stated that it would be impos
sible for his line at various remote
stations to supply accommodations to
a third operator.
Mr. Perham stated that he had re
ceived information from points along
the Union Pacific that it was entirely
possible for the extra operator to be
provided with the accommodations
named by Mr. Dillard.
E. L. Stump, general chairman of
the Union Pacific telegraphers, also
stated that accommodations could be
furnished.

JAPAN SENDS CBTHSER TO IN

Signs of Resentment at Capture of
Tatsu Manx With Arms for
Revolutionists.
TOKlO, Feb. 28. The Japanese armored
cruiser Idzuml sailed today from Shanghai
for Hongkong, where, it is understood,
she will investigate the seizure on Feb
ruary 7 by the Chinese customs cruisers
of the steamer Tatsu Maru.
This movement is possibly intended as
a demonstration against the Chinese offi
cials, although the Foreign Office denies
it has such an object in view, adding that
negotia-Uons are proceeding at Pekln and
that the Japanese flag has been restored
to the Tatsu Maru.
The whole question of the seizure of the
Tatsu Maru, which carried a cargo of
arms and other munitions, now turns
upon the character of the merchant to
whom the arms were consigned- It is be
lieved that he is a sympathizer of the
revolutionists in China, for whom the
arms were possibly intended.
The Tatsu Maru, a Japanese steamer,
was seized by the Chinese customs cruis
ers while anchored in Chinese waters off
Macao. She was escorted to Canton by a
cruiser and three Chinese gunboats. She
carried several cases of rifles and thou
sands of rounds of ammunition. This
cargo, it is believed, was destined for
Chinese revolutionists,, but was consigned
to a merchant.

Ton may be called upon to spend hundreds of dollars
to eradicate disease in some one dear to you. Spend a
thought in keeping disease away. As the Government
considers Government inspection of such vital importance
as to spend vast sums of money just to see that meat for
the consumer is healthful and sound, the consumer should
profit by the Government's precaution in his behalf, and
eat only meat that is stamped "U. S. Inspected and
