POSTAL SAVINGS
TALK ALL BLUFF
No Sncli Bill Intended to
Pass, and Bill Offered
. Is Self-Nullifying.
By John E. Lathrop.
Washington. Dec. 16. "Your o;uess
.that no postal savings bank bill will 1
fussed or other material alteration of
ha fiscal system effected prior to the
report of the Aldrloh monetary commis
sion. I think is a good prophecy," was
the answer today ty a prominent ad
ministration western senator to my
question-as to the probabilities of Sena
tor Carter's bill being adopted.
It Is apparent that no well Informed
senators really expect the Carter bill to
pass. It Is no prejudiced statement -to
Bay that Carter himself kn'ow6 his bill
' is doomed to remain temporarily the
object of apparent solicitude and then
drop into ''innocuous desuetude." await
" ing the Aldrlch commission's report and
recommendation, which committee has
hinted that it does not purpose includ
ing the postal savings bank In Its
scheme for financial reorganisation.
I am Bure the curvent discussion In
the senate in well understood here as
morel v to keen campaign promises.
which were, at Chicago, that postal sav
ings bank legislation would be adopted
after a short time. These propotai
will then be permitted to die by neglect,
or. If brought to vote, will be beaten.
The present discussion Is also to "try
, out" the. sentiment of the people
throughoutithe country, which was made
' apparent yesterday in the discussion,
when Heyburn of Idaho asked ques
tions which brought from Carter the
assertion that the postal savings banks
were not designed for depositors who
desired to check Rgainst their funds day
by day; that such would be expected
to continue to patroniae the ordinary
banks. '
When Carter, who Is not far from the
. ronfldence of the governing powers of
the seate, made this declaration it
caused the comment that such a con
ception was utterly at variance with
campaign promises, which were for the
safeguarding of all who doslred it for
currently used bank deposits.

vation on Christmas island last July,
li In this cltv today, havlna just re
turned, from her memorable journey,
with her oiwre brown hair turned snowy
white as a result of the terrors and
hardships of that disaster.
Miss Campbell tells a remarkable
story of th birth of a litMe baby girl
; on the barren island, where the casta
ways existed miserably for over two
months. Mrs. Patrick, the mother, was
Miss Campbell's patient, and she was
in an extremely delicate condition when
the shiD struck the reef on Chrlxtmma
, island, which brought their voyage to
an end. The passengers in the vessel
were cared for as well as the limited
conveniences saved from the wreck
would permit. The chief anxiety was
for Mrs. Patrick, and through the faith-
fulness of her nurse she braved the
ordeal and gave birth to little Jane
Patrick Just two days before the mir-
' vlvors of the wreck were rescued from
; their island home.
Miss Campbell told a thrilling storv
of the efforts of the crew of the Aeon
to attract assistance. Bonfires of care
fully gathered wood were lit as beacons
to possible passing ships, and several
unlucky expeditions were sent out to
reach Fanning island and bring help
