ALDRICH PUN NOT FOLLOWED Differs In Several Important Provi­ sions From Original Measure--Na- 1 tional Reserve Association Will Be Controlled by Smallest Members. Washington.--The national mon­ etary commission, after four years of study and labor, have drafted a bill to revise the currency system of the United States designed to prevent a recurrence of such unfortunate tlnan- cial conditions as prevailed during the money panic of 1907. The bill consists of fifty-nthe sec­ tions and in general follows the ilnes of tbe so-called Aldrich plan. But the commission's bill shows some impor­ tant changes from the original or even from the revised draft of Mr. Aldrlch's plan. The bill incorporates tbe National Reserve association of the United States, with an original capital ot 1200,000,000 instead of th^ $300,000, 000 as first proposed by Mr. Aldrich. Through an elaborate machinery In­ volving fifteen branches of the associ­ ation, each branch being the center or a group of local associations of banks, the National Reserve association Is authorized to issue notes against prop­ erly indorsed commercial paper. Tbe bill provides for the admission to the reserve association of state banks and trust companies that subscribe to its conditions as well as of the nation­ al banks already in existence. Tbe circulating notes of tbe associa­ tion shall be received at par in pay­ ment for all dues to the United States and salaries and debts owed by the United States, unless gold is specifi­ cally set forth In the contract, and ail dues or debts to any bank or trust company shall be payable in tbe notes. The notes shall constitute a first lien upon all the assets or the association and no interest shall be paid by the association upon its de­ posits. Besides Its duties in the redlscount- lng of paper for th$ providing of an elastic currency, the association shall act as disbursing agent for the United States government and shall also transact business abroad, authority be­ ing given for the establishment of for­ eign branches. The assets of tbe as­ sociation and of local branches and districts shall be exempt from local and state taxation except as to real estate, while a federal tax falls auto­ matically upon the association for Its failure to maintain the &0 per cent re­ serve required by the act. The bill attempts to prevent the centralization of the control of the system In any one locality. In tbe dis­ tricting of the country for the fifteen branches, division Is made largely by geographical and not financial stand­ ards. Sixty days after the bill's passage books for subscription to tbe capital stock of the reserve association sbaii be opened and an allowance for ex­ penses by .tbe government is made, though this allowance must after­ ward be repaid from the profits of the association. Tbe National Reserve association created by the bill is to exist under its terms for fifty years, and baVe an au­ thorized capital equal to twenty per cent, of the paid-in and unimpaired capital of all banks eligible to mem­ bership in the association. The bill states tbe corporate power tbe associ­ ation shall have. Tbe sections which will attract widest public interest and arouse the most debate are those relating to the issuance of currency by the associa­ tion. Tbe sections follow broadly the Aldrich plan.

DEFEAT FOR DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT- TEE VOTES 30 TO 13 TO BEAT COL. GUFFEV. LIE PASSES DURIN& DEBATE Pennaylvanlan Calls His Opponent Falsifier But Apologizes--Jackson Day Banquet Marked by Har­ mony and Optimism. Washington.--After a hot fight the national committee seated Col. James Guffey of Pennsylvania as a member by a vote of 30 to 13, thereby defeat- in W illiam J. Bryan, who strenuously opposed Guffey and accused him opep- ly of having betrayed the party and of being unfit to sit in a national committee. Most of the contention over the seating of Guffey was conducted in executive session. Mr. Bryan, who succeeded four years ago in keeping Guffey off the committee, got into ac­ tion a few minutes after the commit- tae began its labors in the assembly room at the Shorehana- In the course of the argument over Guffey, A. Mitchell Palmer, his op­ ponent for the seat to which Guffey was elected, charged him with having deliberately defeated the choice of the Democrats for governor and sup­ porting a man of his own choice. "That's a lie!" shouted Guffey, "and you know it's a lie." "I demand an apology," said Pal­ mer, growing red in the face. Guffey supplied the apology reluctantly, whereupon Senator Tillman, who had been sitting quietly in hlB seat, arose and said: "I think he ought to apolo­ gize to the whole committee." Mr. Guffey furnished this apology also, and good humor was fully re­ stored.

The new banquet ball of tbe Hotel Raleigh had been gorgeous'y decorat­ ed for the occasion. The Stars and Stripes were everywhere to be seen. As the leaders of the party came in each one was given a rousing recep­ tion. Hearst, Clark, Bryan, Wilson, all were energetically cheered and each held a reception after he took bis place. Every state was represented among the guests and ably represented. Senators, representatives, governors, members of the bench elbowed each other in the press at tbe tables. On every side there was con­ fident talk of party success. Op­ timism was abroad, and if there were any differences among the Mends of some of the prospec­ tive candidates they did not put in an appearance. Senator O'Gorman, as toastmaster, occupied tbe seat of honor at the ta­ ble. W. J. Bryan was on his left. At the speakers' table were W. R. Hearst, Senator Johnson of Maine. Senator Taylor of Tennessee. Senator Kern of Indiana, Alton B. Parker, Champ Clark, Senator Newlands of Nevada, Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Chairman James T. Lloyd of the congressional campaign committee.

Governor Wilson, speaking to the toast "Democracy, Past and Future," denounced the tariff system as the means by which the business Interests have gained their hold in politics.
