I personally think the adoption of
the fatter system In the Immediate fu
ture Is out of the question. Therefore
the entire finance committee agreed te
demand for an laaue of emergency
notea. The minority favored the tnlted
States notes, tout the majority felt that
thla would establish a dangeroua prece
dent. They believed, since the national
bank notea with their convertibility
guaranteed bv the government, have
the confidence of the American beople.
It would be prudence to uae thla form of
currency. Germany, England and Aue-tro-llungary
follow thla plan In a gen
eral way. The committee felt Ger
many's precedent the aafest to follow.
There the Imperial bank Is directly
under the control of the government,
and has the authority to issue $11,000,

"The bill reported by the committee
provides for the possible issue In emer
gencies of $500,000,000 In notes to be
Identical in character of national bank
notes, and secured by state bonds. The
banks are required to deposit In the
United States treasury, municipal, state
or first-class railroad bonds. On the
state, or municipal bonds the banks are
entitled to 90 per cent In notes, on rail
road bonds 76 Per cent. At any time
within 48 hours, the entire $600,000,

That the new building of the Inde
pendent Telephone company at Twen
tieth and Harney, will be packed with
sightseers this afternoon and evening
is a certainty, judging from the crowds
and the enthusiastic approval that were
in evidence there yesterday afternoon.
The occasion Is the formal opening
of the new plant, or rather the In
formal reception of the public In rec
ognition of It. Quite elaborate prep
arations had been made to receive the
visitors, and they came in numbers that
snowed their keen interest in the work
ings of the "secret wire." Everybody
wanted to know how any insensate
mechanism could put up a connection
between two subscribers in any por
tion of the city at the will of either
of them, and keep on putting up and
taking down connections without the
intervention of human hand, except
as indicated on a little dial by the
party at the end of the line. They
saw jubi now u was none, and then
they marveled the more at tha wonder
or it.
Women were In the majority among
mo signiseers, aitnougn several hun-
area men mingled in the crowd of
nearly z,60O that surged through the
Duuaing aunng tne arternoon.
"I . can't understand It," ald one
well-known society woman, "and ! can't
unaersiana just bow my sewing ma
chine needle picks up the thread from
the shuttle, but I do know that both
of them manage to do the business,
and they don't make any mistakes. It
takes the needle just one stab to pick
up the thread, and the flip of tha dial
Is all there la to it with this auto
matic phone, and there Is no telephone
girl to get saucy about It either."
The speaker tfld not understand why
16 feminine noses were tilted dlsan-
nmninnli, a. U .... i . ...
r. s t iwr . cmarK, out It was
because she did not know that a bunch
of telephone girls from the Bell plant
had Just come over in a body to in
spect the automatlo plant. During the
afternoon there were numerous other
delegations of Bell people who called
to satisfy their curiosity, and they
asked , questions, to their hearts' con
tent. They were accorded a double
welcome.
An orchestra of 12 pieces was sta
tioned in the lobby on the lower floor,
and the double suite of offices aa well
'as the -main corridors were profjisely
decorated with palms and flowers.
There was a flood of electrio light, and
tbe beauties of the handsome building
were set off to excellent advantage.
The tiled floors, mahogany woodwork,
shining brass and other metal trim
mings were all aa spick-and-span aa any
one could desire.
Luncheon was served In one of the
rooms, the" tables being decorated with
lighted candelabra In colors. Waitresses
saw to the deft serving of the guests.
There was nothing wanting to make It
a decided "function, even to the ebony
factotum at the entrance, who swung
. the long glass doors to welcome the
coming and speed the parting guest.
Special apparatus had been set up in
the switchboard room on the second
floor. In the shape of small sample
switchboards, in order to enable the
visitors to Just how the connec
tions are made. Attendants were pres.
ent at each to make explanations and
answer questions. Visitors were taken
everywhere, even to the basement, where
they saw how the cables entered tha
buildlna- and are distributed; the- re
pair shop, testing department and - all
branches of the electrical department
It was the first time that the city as
a whole had been Invited to Intimately
inspect the workings of a telephone
system and indications were that there
were thousands who had been pining for
Just such a tour of Investigation.
The public - reception continues to
day, the hours being from to 7 o'clock
thla afternoon and 7 to 10 o'clock this
evening. The same arrangements will
be continued for the reception of visit
ors today, and as on yesterday flowers
and other souvenirs will be presented
to each guest who honors the company
by accepting the general invitation to
be present j
