Definite agreement today by both the Adminis tration and the antl-Administratlon wings of the Senate banking and cur rency committee to complete ' their drafts of the currency bill and submit them to the Senate by Thursday was followed by a general talk at the cap tal of an adjournment of Congress over ThankBglving. No adjournment will be taken with out the consent of the President. In the Senate It was believed the Presi dent might agree to a brief recess, al though It has been known that he de sired to have Congress In session in the event of emergencies arising in the Mexican situation. . ' Saturday. Monday and Tuesday have been suggested as possible dates for Adjournment in conferences of House and Senate leaders. Both Wlngl at Work. 1 Both wings of the Senate committee Continued work on their bills today. The six Administration Democrats re opened their deliberations to consider the advisability of altering the provi sion in the Glass-Owen bill for shift ing the reserves of the country from the present depositaries to the new re gional reserve banks. It has been sug gested that the provision might make too great a demand on the banking re sources of the country,, result in the calling of loans ' and a consequent stringency. The Democrats reached no definite agreement, but Chairman Owen agreed to tabulate the figures available on the subject and to present them to the com mittee tomorrow. Senator Hitchcock and the Rep'ubll cans continued to write their draft of the bill. They increased the gold re serve to be held against the new cur rency to 45 per cent and provided that when the reserve fell below that point It should be taxed on a graduated scale down to the minimum of 80 per cent. Bond Refunding Change Made. The bohd refunding section was com pletely changed. As amended it would provide that each regional bank should each year invest 60 per cent of Its available capital in the 2 per cent bonds at par, which are the basis of the pres ent bank notes. The regional banks would then be allowed to exchange the 2 per cent bonds for 3 per cent, one- year Government notes, agreeing to renew the notes for 20 years. These notes would be available for use in foreign markets to . secure gold to maintain the reserve. The Republicans also made numerous amendments correcting what they re garded as discrepancies in the bill and making the latter sections conform to amendments already adopted. lent land transactions, and O. M. Smith are not liable to Dr. and Mrs. M. - J. Denny for an alleged unpaid balance of $8000 on the sale of a 60-acre tract of Clackamas County land by the Dennys to Leonard and Smith. The evidence introduced at the hearing several weeks ago did not show contract. Judge Davis held in his decision, rendered yesterday,, and even though a contract had been shown, he helti, the action should have been brought for breach of the contract and not for a balance due. Dr. and Mrs. Denny . traded their Clackamas County tract to Leonard and Smith, they said, for two mortgages aggregating $7000, $1000 in cash and the assumption of a $7000 mortgage on the Clackamas property by Leonard and Smith. Dr. Denny brought suit to collect $7000 on the two mortgages and the $1000 in cash.

Jones, a stevedore, formerly general manager for Brown McCabe, .returned to the offices of the company still looking for trouble. and found it in the person of one of the men he had assaulted earlier.

Sweeney Tells Police He and Friend Carried Mrs. May me Greinci.se n Below, Following Scene in Store. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 17. The body of Mrs. Mayme Greineisen, aged 35, wife of Oliver Greineisen, a west end drug clerk, was found late today lying face downward on a cinder pile in the cellar of C. A. .Given's pharmacy, lo cated on the South Side of the city. Practically nude, the body was scratched and bruised. The woman's left eye was discolored and her hair knotted and unkempt. Michael L. Sweeney, a drug clerk em ployed in the Givens Pharmacy, was rrested in the store after the woman s body was found. Sweeney was in a highly nervous condition and told a disconnected story of how the woman reached the cellar. He said Mrs. Greineisen walked Into the Given Pharmacy about 8 o'clock . last night almost nude and that he and Tom Haw kins, or "Harkins" picked her up and carried her into the cellar. Sweeney's Story Doubted. Mumbling incoherently Sweeney was locked in a police station cell tonight and will be turned over to the Coroner's ury tomorrow. A search is being made for the man mentioned by Sweeney. The authorities doubt the story told by Sweeney as to Mrs. Geineisen's ap pearance at Given's pharmacy, insisting it would be impossible for a -woman, almost nude to walk through a num ber of streets early Sunday evening without detection. The police found the body dressed In short dressing sack, a white under- hirt. two stockings and one shoe. The hoe appeared to be that of a man. Thrown over the body was a - ragged dark cape. A short skirt had been cut down the back. Blood had been flow- ng from the woman's mouth and the body was lacerated from the cinders, : Alleged Remark Gives Clew. The body was discovered In the cel lar through a "remark alleged to have een made by Sweeney to a neighbor that a woman was in the cellar." The police were notified. As the body was being carried to a morgue ambulance. Sweeney's nervous condition attracted the attention of Captain or fonce Henry J. Alt. Upon being questioned weeney told who the woman was. She came in here about 8 o ciock last night," he said, "without any clothes on. She made a noise and Tom and I carried her down to the cellar. Sweeney then refused to talk further ut mumbled while the police ques tioned him. FAIR BODY NAMES HEADS W. A. Rltz Becomes President Walla Walla Association. of WALLA WALLA. Wash, Nov. 17. CSpectal.)

Charge Made Proposition Only Is Plan to Make Possible Placing 12 Tona on Wagons. Horse owners want the city to Band the streets merely to make possible the hauling of greater loads during the w inter, declares Superintendent Don aldson, of the street cleaning and sprinkling department, in answer to charges whloh have been filed against him by the Portland Horse-Owners' Association. The charges state that Donaldson has resisted sanding the streets, although the sanding has been favored by other city officials. The association has asked Donaldson to re sign. "In 1890." said Donaldson yesterday. "the average load for a pair of horses weigning 8200 pounds was three tons, That was when there were only few paved streets. Now the load is eight tons. Not satisfied with this, certain horse-owners want the city to sand the strets so that it will be possible for tnem to load 12 tons onto a wagon. "At present it is hard for horses to stand on the paving with such loads. have been unable to see why the city, alter naving paved the streets and en abled the horse-owners almost to treble the loads, should place sand on the streets so that the load can be In creased another four tons. They talk about it being cruel for horses to slip on the streets because of no sand Is not nearly so cruel as the overload ing. "I am In favor of the city passing an ordinance preventing the overloadin of wagons. With proper loads there 1 no occasion for sand, excepting upon steep grades, and in these places favor sand as much as the horse-own ers themselves. The sanding proposi tlon is impracticable, because the sand washes into the catch basins and fill them and. the sewers, causing . muc damage."

Chief of Police Clark wants to find a woman who refused to give her name or enter a complaint against Roy Spen cer, a well-dressed man who snatched her purse at Sixteenth and Washington streets last night. Spencer grabbed the woman s purse and made off with it. but was captured by John Lorenz, 294 North Elgteeenth street, and Tony Ack erman.- 310 North Seventeenth street. and a crowd of their fellow-workers at a nearby garage. The men held Spencer until Officer Bales arrived on his motorcycle. Spencer then recovered the purse from a sewer where he had thrown t and restored it to the woman. She refused to give her name or enter a complaint against the man, who was booked on a charge of vagrancy. Chief Clark thinks that there was something besides maidenly modesty behind her refusal, and says that h will take measures to hunt her up and prefer charges against her if she does not appear to prosecute the case.

Representative of Carnegie Fund Speaks Here. "That the problem the civilized world is facing today is not of war, but of armed peace," was the assertion of B. N. Langdon-Davies, of England, represent ing the Carnegie endowment fund for international peace, in his first lecture in Portland, which was delivered at the Portland Library last night, under the auspices of the Oregon Peace Society, Mr. Davles assailed as a fallacy the idea that a nation must burden itself with large armaments to Insure pros perity and security from attack, by any other nation. Most of the argument which is ad vanced by the militarists is, he de clared, nonsense, and said its surest refutal was by following their reason ing out to its logical conclusion, which almost invariably brings one to a sheer absurdity.
