HISSING. HEARD ON FLOOR
Resolutions Finally Adopted, How
ever, Commend President, See
retary ol Treasury and Con
gress for Efforts.
BOSTON. Oct. 8. Tbe bankers of
the United states declared again today
their opposition to the proposed Fed
eral reserve plan of reform In the cur
rency and banking system.
With only one dissenting volco on
the final vote, more than 2000 bankers
from all sections of the country, gatb
ered at the first day's sessions of the
annual convention of the American
Bankers' Association, ratified , the
action of the conference of bankers in
demanding amendments to the Federal
reserve act, now pending In Congress.
The convention also approved the
work of their own currency commis
sion, which earlier In the day had re
ported the system of governmental
control, proposed in the Glass-Owen
bill, to be socialistic and Imposing "un
wise hardships on the banks and
equally unwise hardships on the gen
eral public"
President and Congress Commended.
The resolutions In which this ratifl
cation and approval were contained
also included commendation of "the
President the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Congress for their efforts to
create in this country an elastic as
well as safe currency," and pledged
them "heartv support for the enact
ment of proper legislation to that ef
fect." The addition of this paragraph as
an amendment to the resolution was
proposed at the afternoon session by
ex-Representative O'Neill, of Boston.
Mr. O'Neill was one of several speak
ers whose remarks had been hooted
from the floor in the forenoon. He
and ex-Represcntatlve McRae, of Ar
kansas. together with H. A. Moehlen
pah, president of the Wisconsin Bank
ers' Association, had rallied to the de
fense of the Administration, which had
been attacked by many of the previous
speakers.
Defender Is Hooted Down.
Acting President Reynolds, of Des
Moines, in his annual report, had criti
cised the currency bill and ex-Representative
Bill, of Connecticut, had at
tacked the good faith of the Admin
istration and v Introduced resolutions
against the bill, when Mr. McRae took
tha floor. His attempted defense of
the Government was treated with, de
rision. Delegates tried to howl him
down with cries of "no, no; question,
ciuesMon." Mr. McRae stood his ground
and esked for a hearing, saying:
"I am a banker myself, but I am un
willing to sanction the language of
Chairuutu Hepburn, of the currency
commission, when he charged the Pres
ident and Congress' of this Republic
with Doing- a pack of Socialists.
"Don't side step the Issue. The
question really at stake In the cur
rency bill is this: 'Shall the bankers of
the United States control the currency
of the country or shall the Govern
ment of the United States control ltr "
"We Should," Hundreds Cry.
From hundreds of voices there came
a reply to the question: "We should;
we shouldl"
Mr. McRae then exclaimed: -
Tea, in just the same way every
criminal would like the right to be tbe
jmlge of his own offense, so that be
could deliver a verdict of 'Not guilty '
Some hissing was heard as Mr. Mc
Rae finished.
Mr. Hill, in Introducing the resolu
tions, had characterised the bill as it
now stands as "providing tor a legal
ised Government combination and mo
nopoly as a substitute for the indi
vidual competitive enterprise of 25,000
independent banks, organized under
the existing laws of the states and Na
tion and in which billions of dollars of
the people's money have been Invested
in cood faith.
Ho said the recommendations of the
Chicago conference should be followed.
Spirit of Hostility Deplored.
Mr. O'Neil In presenting an amend
ment of thanks to the President and
Congress, said:
"I want an amendment to the Glass
bill; don't mistake me. But If you gen
tlemen think you are going to win a
compromise from Congress if you go
before them in a spirit of hostility, 1
tell you, you will get nothing."
Mr. O'Neil'8 amendment was carried.
The resolutions as adopted as an
amendment were considered and voted
on, sentence by. sentence, then 'as a
whole, and as finally adopted were:
"Resolved, That we approve the work
of the Currency Commission and that
we ratify and Indorse the action of the
Chicago conference, the conclusions
they reached and the recommendations
they made;
"That we urge on Congress the wis
dom and the necessity of Incorporating
Into the proposed law the amendments
recommended by the Chicago confer
ence, all of which have been elaborately
presented to the -committee on bank
ing and currency of the United States
Senate, in which body the proposed law
Is now pending.
"Any law passed by Congress In order
to be effective and in full measure ful
fill the hopes of those seeking currency
reform must command the approval and
the co-operation of the banks of the
country, both state and National.
"Resolved. That we commend the
President, the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Congress for their efforts to
create in this country an elastic as
well as a safe currency and pledge them
our hearty support for the enactment
of proper legislation to that end."

PRINCE JOINS WIFE
Ernest August and Victoria
Louise Are Reunited.
SUCCESSION IS TANGLED
Rnval Husband Willing to Make
Concessions as to Throne of
Brunswick, lrat Prussian Na
tionalists Are Dissatisfied.
BERLIN Oct 8 Prince Ernest Aug
ust of Cumberland and hla wife, who
was the Princess Victoria Louise, were
reunited today. This is regarded in
official circles as an Indication that
tbe recent trouole over the succession
to the throne ot the Duchy of Bruns
wick was rather a controversy be
tween the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, and . his - advisers
than between the Hollenzollern and
Guelph families.
Prince Ernest Auerust authorized tne
statement today that he considers him
self bound for all time by his distinct
promise in a letter to the Imperial
Chancellor to do nothing and to en
courage nothing against the present
comDOultlon of Prussia and the German
emoire. His statement, however, does
not contain the explicit renunciation
of his claims to the Hanoverian suc
cession demanded by the Prussian Na
tionaliats.
Thft Prlnre'a statement, which in
eludes the assurance that his pr6mise
would remain in full force In case he
became a Prince of the Empire, was
drafted after lengthy conferences at
Gmunden, Austria, with the Duke of
Cumberland and Prince Auolph of
Schaumberg Lippe. and 1b regarded as
representing the extreme concession
the Cumberlands are prepared to
make to Prussian sensibilities. It Is
generally regarded that It will scarce
ly satisfy the Prussian nationalists,
since It does not bind the Prince's
father, the Duke of Cumberland, or his
posterity.

EXPLOSION INJURES TWO
Seamen on Revenue Cutter Lose
Arms and Xegs in Accident.
MILWAUKEE. Oct. 8. The explosion
today of a primer in a three-pound
shell on board the revenue cutter Tus
carora seriously injured two men of
tbe crew, F. Dielbold.- a seaman, whose
left arm was blown off, and who was
wounded about the legs, and Olaf Foss,
gunner, who lost bis right leg and sus
tained wounds in the neck, hands and
chest.
The two men were knocking out the
primers of tbe tbree-pound shells,
which had been fired, preparatory to
reloading them. They failed to notice
that one of the primers bad not been
exploded and struck It with a bar and
mallet. The vessel, which was off Port
Washington on the way to Manitowoc
for target practice when the accident
occurred, returned here at once. It Is
thought both men will recover.
WASHINGTON. Oct 8. Further steps
to determine the policy of the Depart
ment of Justice toward the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company, the
so-called "Bell telephone trust," were
taken today, when N. C. Kingsbury,
vice-president of the company, had a
conference with Attorney-General Mo
Reynolds, Department officials de
cllned to comment on Mr. Kingsbury's
visit, but it is probable that suit under
the anti-trust act. contemplated tor
several months, will not be begun for
the present.
Before his visit to the Attorney-wen
eral Mr. Kingsbury was at the Inter
state Commerce Commission, which is
expected to report its ideas of whether
the best policy for the Government to
pursue toward the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company Is to regulate it,
compel competition under the Sherman
law. or approve its acquisition and
operation by the Government.
Suit is pending in Portland, Or., to
separate the "trust" from Its Pacific
Coast holdings. This will determine
the applicability of the Sherman law
to the telephone companies which do a
much greater portion or business witn
in a state than between the states,
which many economists call a "natural
monopoly" and which some lawyers
hold is not barred by the anti-trust
act.
APPEAL MADE FOR NOME

No responses were received yesterday
at the Chamber of Commerce to the

"SEA-G0INGHACK" SOUGHT
Secretary Daniels Chance to Choose
Covers Wide Range.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Secretary
Daniels probably did not know there
were so many second-hand vehicles in
the world when he decided recently to
advertise for a brougham which had
seen its best days, his Idea being to
help in a small way the theory of Gov
ernment economy.
F. S. Curtis, the chief clerk of the
Navy Department is now trying to
figure out which of tbe 23 "broughams"
would most become the Secretary of
the Navy.
Both in design and in price they
cover a range as wide as the sea. One
of them was offered for the modest sum
of $85, while another was said to be
worth $800.
What seemed to some of the officials
of the department the most appropriate
conveyance offered was described as a
"fine sea-going hack." What could be
better, they said, for the head of the

NATIONS TO OBJECT
MRS. GAYNOR MAY CONTEST
Sons Offer to Aid Widow, Cut Off
With Only $3000 a Tear.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Rumors that
an effort would be made by Mrs. Wil
liam J. Gaynor to overrule the provi
sions of the will left by the late Mayor
were based on a belief that sufficient
provision had not been made for Mrs.
Gaynor. The will gives her only the
Eighth-avenue house with its furnish
ings and an Income of $3000 a year.
The house is mortgaged for $12,000.
While the matter has not been fully
decided by Mrs. Gaynor, it is under
stood that the stand taken by her two
sons, Rufus and Norman, probably will
cause her to forego her dower rights
In the estate. Both the sons have ad
vised their mother that they would
aid in bearing the expenses of the
home for her and the three unmarried
daughters.

Administration Favors Repeal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. If the con
sent of Representative Underwood and
other Houbo leaders can be secured to
morrow, a Joint resolution will be
passed through Congress within a few
days repealing that portion of the new
tariff law authorizing a S per cent
tariff rebate on goods brought to this
country In American-owned ships.
The decision to ask for the repeal of
the clause was reached by Administra
tion officials today after experts of the
Late and Treasury Jjenarunems oau
decided that to carry out its exact
terms would mean a reduction of S
rier cent in the tariff on goods from
practically all of the chief exporting
countries except Brazil, France and
Russia.
After a conference with President
Wilson, in which the latter gave his
indorsement to the plan. Solicitor Folk,
of the State Department took up with
Congressional leaders tonight the plan
to have the objectionable clause elim
inated from the tariff law. Senator
Simmons, chairman of the Senate
finance committee, gave assurance that
the Senate undoubtedly would agree to
a repeal of the entire clause, as it
had originally rejected It. An attempt
was made to reach Representative
Underwood over the long-distance tele
phone but Mr. Folk could not find
him. It is expected that House leaders
will accept the decision of the Administration.
