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

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

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.

MRS. GREY MAKES
SERIOUS
CHARGES
Gives Sensational Testimony
Regarding Wrongs of
Crow Indians.
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

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

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.
