ERSGONDE Pending Currency Bill Opposed as Worse Than No Legislation. ; RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED lieprespntativcs of Chicago National Banks Point Out Defects and Ad vora t o Re f erence of En 1 1 re Matter to a Commission. CHICAGO, April 2. At ft meeting of the representatives of the National banks doing business in thLs city, held yester day, resolutions were unanimously adopt ed expressing the views of the bankers regarding the Aldrich currency bill. To day they were siETied by every member of the Chicago Clearing Huse and given out. The resolutions are In substance &s follows: "That the tranefer of nearly $300,000,000 from the liquid resources of the "bank?, where It Is available for loans to an idle fund, on which the banks are forbidden under any clrcumRtances to encroach, will seriously impair the working capital of the country. Indicates True Method. "That the true method of dealing with r crisis is by providing means for readily increasing the supply of currency when it is needed rather than by locking up continuously and permanently an unnec essary proportion of the country's bank ing capital. "That the substitution of bonds in the vaults of country banks for balances in the reserve and central reserve cities will not promote safety. One Serious Objection. "That there is no objection to the pro hibition of loans to bank officers, but there Is serious objection to such prohi bition against directors and companies in which directors are interested. "That the restrictions will affect the institutions of the National banking system unfavorably In their competi tion with state banks and trust com panies, which have already more lati tude In the character of business they am allowed to do, ami in most of the states tho requirements upon them as to reserves are less than those to which National banks are now obliged to con form. Against Had lea I Change. "That ns the Aldrich blU Is avowed ly a measure for temporary use only, to bridge over until a comprehensive and final system Is determined upon, no changes In the existing system which will seriously disturb present conditions should be included in its provisions. The regulations of the National banking system as to the re serves against deposits have stood sinee the system was established, the business of the banks is adjusted to them and the credits of the country are adjusted to them. May Precipitate Panic. "If the banks must prepare to do business under the proposed regula tions after January 1, 1909, there can be no expansion of loans meantime, even for crop-moving purposes next Fall, but further liquidation will be required and serious consequences may ensue. "A temporary measure should not contain harmful innovations, which in a final treatment of the subject may prove to be unnecessary and, unless they can be eliminated, it will be bet ter tv have no legislation until the whole subject can be referred to a commission for Inquiry and report, which we believe would be the most practicable disposition of it." CONDEMNS ALL PENDING BILLS New York Chamber Advocates Com- mission on Currency System. NEW YORK. April 2. None of the cur rency legislation now before Congress, with the exception of the Covering bill, which provides for the appointment of a commission to investigate the currency and banking pystems of the United States, will have the approval of the New York Chamber of Commerce. This was the decision today when the chamber adopted the report of Its special commit tee to investigate and report upon pend ing legislation. It Is the belief of the committee that there is little chance of any currency legislation being enacted at the present session of Congress. The committee's report recommends the enactment of a law providing for the appointment of a commission to investi gate the currency and banking systems of the Vnited States and other leading commercial nations and to report such measure "as may be found necessary to place our currency and banking system on a sound basis, which Is absolutely es sential for the permanent welfare and progress of the country." AGENT WORKED ON LOUD Method of Electric Boat Company Are Revealed. WASHINGTON. April 2. That an at torney of the Electric Boat Company was pressing and "bearing down" upon a member of Congress in reference to submarine boat legislation was the charge made today before the special committee of the House Investigating the charges agalns the Electric Boat Company. The charge was made by Frank I. Edinbor ough. of Bay City. Mich., a State Sena tor and former private secretary to Con gressman Loud, of that State, who Is a member of the House committee on naval affairs, Mr. Edinborough testified that the attorney In question was A. G. Gor don, and a member of Congress whom he was pressing was Mr. Loud. Mr. Kdtnborough was not a willing wit ness, and at first refused to answer cer tain questions on the ground that they were confidential owing to the fact that he had been private secretary to Mr. 3 iond. hut Mr. Ioud released him from such obligation and he told his story. Mr. Kdinborough produced an anony mous letter which he said he had re ceived In Bay City on February 17, from Washington, D. C, stating that Mr. Loud BANK D CH MEASURE had voted for the SI. 416.000 graft in the naval committee, that there was a story in circulation that the Holland people had secured a prominent attorney to be come a candidate for Congress against Mr. Loud; that Mr. Loud had finally agreed to vote for the submarine bill or condition that the attorney withdraw as a candidate. Mr, Lilley today made a statement correcting part of the testimony given yesterday before the committee of the House by Franklin Taylor, of Waterbury, Conn. In this statement Mr. Lilley re ferred especially to Mr. Taylor's an- J nouncement concerning the possible re sult of the committee s Inquiry. On that point he said: "Mr. Taylor stated that he heard me say in the Waterbury Club before about a dozen members that I expected an adverse report from the committee and that I mould go tin the floor of the House and tell all I knew about submarines. Hie testimony differs only In the following particular: "While taking lunch at the Waterbury Club, some one present asked me what would happen If the committee reported adversely. It was at that moment, as I remember, that Mr. Taylor entered the room and he heard only my reply which was that in the event of an adverse re port. I would still have the privilege of making an argument on the floor of the House to present my side of the case." Silas L. Berger, former president of the Berger Subsurface Torpedo-boat Com pany, and now consulting engineer of that company, also testified before the com mittee. He said he had been informed that the pending naval appropriation bill contained an appropriation of S44O,ftO0 for subsurface boats, which had been pre pared by Representative Hobson, the only member of the committee with whom he was acquainted, and he added that. Rep resentative Littlefield had introduced a bill In the company's behslf. PUBLISHES NOTE TO ROOT CASTRO'S ORGAN TELLS WHY DEMAND WAS REFUSED. Previous Request for Arbitration of American Claims Given Scant Consideration. CARACAS, Venezuela, March 19. President Castro's official organ, El Con stltucional, publishes part of Venezue la's answer to Secretary Root's lost note, reiterating the Secretary's previous de mand for arbitration of the live Ameri can claims. In part the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs said to Min ister Russell: "The Government of Venezuela refuses for the time being to take under consid eration the Insinuation made in your note because up to now. Mr. Minister, you have not contradicted the notes of this ministry of dates July 9 and September 20 last, which treat of the points which have been the subject of discussion and In which the reasons on which this gov ernment then founded its negative were perfectly well defined. 4'ln view of this, the case In question cannot be considered and the govern ment of Venezuela would see with satis faction that the United States would consider this matter terminated, the in terested parties always having the right of recourse to the tribunals of justice of the republic if they deem it con venient." The paper goes on to allege that al most five years after the claims In ques tion had been arbitrated the American Government demands, through its Min ister in Caracas, that two of these claims shall be newly submitted to arbitration. Suggesting that the usefulness of the Monroe doctrine will be destroyed by the present attitude of the State Department, the editorial continues: "We do not believe for a moment that the Inited States Congress, the high representation of the Nation, can possi bly authorize any proceeding which will create a situation contrary to the rule of justice among nations.

PUTS GARFIELD ON GRILL Newspaper Woman Charges Secre tary With Having Had Knowl edge of Crimes Against Help Jess Wards or Government. "WASHINGTON, April 2.-Mrs. Helen Pierce Grey, the newsnaoer writer, ar rested last Summer because of her con nection with the protests of Crow In dians against the manner in which the Government agents managed the Crow reservation In Montana, resumed her statement today before the Senate com mittee on Indian affairs. She charged that to keep from starv. Ing the Indians were compelled to eat the flesh of diseased cattle and sheep; that they were frequently thrown Into jail without cause and kept at the mercy of the agents; that the children of the Government reservation school were mistreated. She stated positively that all of these things must have been done with the knowledge of some of the officials at Washington. An other interesting chapter was added also to her account of her own ex perience as an investigator. May Order Inquiry, That some of the members of the committee were impressed by the charac ter of the charges which Mrs. Grey said were susceptible of proof, was evident from the character of the cross-examination. It is not unlikely that a Senate Investigation will be ordered. Mrs. Grey read from a prepared state ment. It developed that she had made this at the suggestion of Senator Owen and Senator Clapp and that she had con ferred with Senator Teller concerning the case. During her testimony today Secretary Garfield, who is Involved in her sweep ing charges, was present. Mrs. Grey was describing her experiences and In telling of the six times she was arrested and of the attempt on the part of Indian Agent Reynolds to "trump up" a charge of in sanity against her. said that Mrs. Gar field, when In Billings, Mont., told the Chief of Police that she was a "dangerous blackmailer and adventuress." Garfield Resents Charge.. "That statement is without any founda tion whatever," declared Mr. Garfield. Mrs. Grey responded that the chief of police would testify to the con trary. Mrs. Grey said Mr. Garfield was in Billings, which place Is near the Craw reservation, while many of the indig nities against her had been committed and could not have been Ignorant of what was going on. She said that In dians v--re constantly mistreated, and when they were thrown into jail that act constituted the whole legal pro cedure; that no charges were brought at the time: incarceration depended upon the will of the Indian agent. In her own case she declared the charges were brought against her on the sixth arreBt. Previous to that proceeding she was put in Jail over night and that ended the matter. On one occasion she said that Agent Reynolds had threatened to Incarcerate her with an Indian, but that the feeling was such that he had not dared to carry out his purpose. Passing on to the alleged mismanage ment of Indian affairs, Mrs. Grey said that it was current report that Senator Carter was part owner of Charlie Bear's sheep. She had testified previously that Bear, through influence with the agent, had pastured about 125.000 sheep on the reservation, while paying for 35,000 head. "Why do you not investigate this matter before bringing charges against Senator Carter?" asked Senator Dixon. "How far would you have me go?" demanded Mrs. Grey. "I was arrested six times for making investigations. Must Eat It or Starve. , Mrs. Grey said that while Mr. Dalby, former secretary to Mr. Garfield, was investigating the conditions on the res ervation he had. ben told at one of the Indian councils at Gordon that the In dians knew they were eating lumpy Jaw cattle and sheep that had diea of disease, but that It was either eat that or starve. Mrs. Grev broke down in reciting the alleged wrongs perpetrated upon the In dians and with a voice trembling with emotion she almost sobbed: "Sheep that died by disease are what the Indians get. The white man gets their land and the live sheep." Proceeding, Mrs. Grey said that the In dians were absolutely helpless; that if they protested they were thrown into jail. She said she "could not see how Senators can have this thing put up to them, and pass it by." She declared that protests to the Indian office had been made without number and that invariably they had resulted in bringing punishment on the Indians, owing to the fact that complaints were always sent back to the agent at whose mercy the Indians were. Decoyed to Hotel. Mrs. Grey told of an Instance In which she was decoyed to a hotel where plans had been made to arrest her, but that she saw the purpose and there wrote a telegram to President Roosevelt stating that she was to be arrested and asked Major Reynolds to send it. It developed that the tele gram was sent. "Did you not at the same time send telegrams to a number of newspapers asking them if they did not want sen sational articles about your arrest?" asked Senator Dixon. "How did you know about those tele grams?" demanded Mrs. Grey. "I am not on the stand," replied the Senator. "Well." said Mrs. Grey, "those tele grams were stolen from my hand bag when I was arrested. That is one of the things 1 wanted investigated. Now I want to know what you know about It. Dixon Given the Laugh. Senator Dixon's colleagues laughed heartily over the turning of the tables, and he said that it was stated in the press that such messages had been sent by Mrs. Grey. "They were not sent." said the wit ness, "and were not Intended to be sent. They were written as bluffs and Intended to fall into other hands in order to pre vent my arrest. A statement was made by M. K. Snif fen. secretary of the Indian Rights Asso elation, in corroboration to a large ex tent of Mrs. Grey s testimony. Den-ics Garfield Said It. BILLINGS. Mont.. April S. Chief of Police TaJgo, who arrested Helen Pearca Gray in Billings, tonight oeclared untrue her statement that Secretary Garfield bad told hfm that she was a "dangerous blackmailer and adventuress." He says he has never met Mr. Garfield and would not know him if he met hirm ACTION' PUZZLES THE POWERS American Consul at Harbin Ignores Russian Administration. "WASHINGTON", April 2. Profound In terest is manifested in diplomatic circles ovep- the situation which has grown out of the refusal of Fred D. Fisher, the American Consul at Harbin, who since taking office In January, 1907, has re fused to recognise the Russian adminis tration In Manchuria. Especially among the representatives of the European countries having commercial connections in Manchuria was the matter a ques tion of paramount importance, and it is understood they have supplied their chancellories with a complete statement of the case as it appears in the Amer ican press. Secretary Root is awaiting certain In formation from China bearing on vari ous aspects of the concesblons given by that country ror railroad extension and other purposes and having a bearing on the treaty of 1566. which figures in the present case, before making a reply to the representations of the Russian gov ernment. When that data arrives it will be given prompt consideration and the attitude of this government regarding its position respeoting foreign rights in Manchuria will again be stated. HAKRIMAX'S BILL TOO HIGH House Claims Committee Advised to Reduce It by $1,000,000.
