M^ATC ON CURRENCY MEAftjUftC •J; TO LAST UNTIL END OF^' 4 SPECIAL SESSION., I • UNFINISHED BUSINESS ^grrrmrnt to Consider Hetch Hetchy 1 dnd Alaskan Road Bills Will Delay Senator Owen Argues for Wilson "'Washington, Nov. 25.--The currency Mil, with the amendments proposed by the divided senate banking and currency committee, was laid before the senate on Saturday. Debate on the measure began, but the final vote Is not expected much before Febru­ ary 1. The two factions of the committee, headed by Senator Owen and Senator Hitchcock, filed their divergent views •M;'-if on the administration measure and the {bill as passed by the house was made the "unfinished business" of the sen- ^ F - ate. Senator Owen fired the opening gun in the debate for the administration fonftes. Senator Hitchcock will follow with an attack on the administration's proposals in a speech setting forth the position of his faction of the commit­ tee. From today until the end of the special session, a week off, senators will make set speeches discussing the currency reform problem. Although the administration finally has succeeded in getting the currency bill before the senate, other obstacles which threaten to delay the measure are apparent. On December 1 the sen­ ate will set aside the currency bill and by agreement take up the bill to give San Francisco the right to use a •water supply from the Hetch Hetchy valley. The measure will be disposed of by December 6, but on December 8 the senate has agreed to take up a bill giving the president authority to build a government railroad in Alaska. This may be set aside in favor of the cur­ rency bill. Senate leaders were not inclined to predict when the currency bill might be finally acted upon, but it was de­ clared certain that its consideration would run well into next year, proba­ bly up to about February 1. The report of the administration Democrats reviewing the differences in the committee, concludes: "These differences arise in the main because of two schools of thought, one part of the committee believing in a I central bank administered by a cen- | tral board, and the other part of the committee proposing to establish a number of comparatively independent y district banks administered by boards of directors chosen from the several dHstricts." • . . The report submitted by Senator | !; Hitchcock declared many amend- n*«nts it recommended had been in­ dorsed in the entire committee before :J the administration and anti-adminis- tration forces separated, and added that its signers were generally in fa­ vor of a government-owned central bank. "Waiving a strong preference which prevailed in committee in favor of a single government bank with branch­ es," said the report, "we accepted the reggTonal bank plan as the only hope­ ful ontlonk for action by this ccugrcss but retained the amendment substitut­ ing four regional banks for twelve. While the single government bank plaa would produce the only perfect mobilization of reserves, as has been demonstrated by the experience of other countries, the adoption of four regional banks under a single control will, it is thought, approximate this result and, in a country as large as otu-B, with so many banks, probably lirpve efficient" Bainbrdlge, Ga., Nov. 21.--Mrs. J.

St. Louis, Nov. 24.--The cause of the Frisco failure, revealed by the Interstate commerce commission's four days' inquiry in St Louis, shall be laid before congress in December. It will be shown in the official report that the railroad was forced - to the wall because: 1. It was compelled to carry and pay Interest on a fictitious indebted­ ness of $40,000,000 created by enor­ mous commissions paid to bankers and brokers for the sale of lis Bee ties, and profits to prompters lines in the southwest. 2. The chairman of its board of di­ rectors and controlling factor in its management, B. F. Yoakum, made profits for himself and associates by trading with himself in the capacity of promoter and buildfer of Texatf roads which he caused to be sold to the Frisco at big prices. The report of the commission to congress will show that approximate­ ly $32,000,000 figuring In the Frisco a total funded indebtedness of $244,000,- 000 was paid to bankers and brokers in commissions and more than $7,000,- 000 to Yoakum and his associates as profits on their feeder lines. The av­ erage rate of commission to brokers and bankers was 12.5 per cent, while is securi- offeeder int., i the profits of Yoakum and his associ­ ates In the promotion of the feeder lines sold to the Frisco < ranged from ten per cent, to more than 100 per cent. These facts, in the opinion of Exam­ iner Brown, who conducted the Frisco Investigation for the interstate com­ merce commission, show clearly why the road was forced Into the hands of receivers. The company was com­ pelled to pay interest charges aggre­ gating more than $1,600,000 a year on this fictitious indebtedness, represent­ ing money which never went Into the Frisco treasury. ( According to the figures introduced into the record by Examiner Brown, Yoakum made a profit of $528,413 by the sale of the St. Louis, Brownsville A Mexico railway to the Frisco. The total amount of profits from all the lines Investigated at the St. Louis hearings amounted to $7,413,000, all of which went into the pockets of the promoters, and was at the same time charged up against the bonded in­ debtedness of the Frisco. Chairman Clark of the interstate commission ended the publlo hearing In St. Louis on Friday. The inner syndicate of five men., who, according to the evidence, split up $900,000 among themselves, were Yoakum, Samuel W. Fordyce, capital­ ist; Robert S.

In the administration's attack on the food trust was taken on Tuesday when Attorney General McReynolds issued orders for a countrywide investigation of the cold-storage combine whi.<;h is believed to be responsible- for ths present high price of eggs. In addition, several bills are before congress, and early action regulating the cold-storage combine Is expected. The investigation ordered -by Attor­ ney General McReynolds will extend into every judicial district where there are federal officials. They are to get complete figures and all the other evidence obtainable bearing on the chargo that cold-storage men are withholding eggs and other food prod­ ucts from thp market in an effort to raise and sustain prices. The investigators will report on the number of eggs In storage, the price at which they went in storage, the length of time stored, and the price at which they were sold when taken out. They will ascertain also approxi­ mately the humber of, eggs produced in their respective districts. "I want to know the inside of this thing," said the attorney general. He is already in possession of informa­ tion showing some attempts on the part of the cold-storage houses to cor­ ner the egg and vegetable supply In their communities. As showing that the cold-storage people admit they have plenty to fear, it was stated at the department of justice that some dealers had dropped egg prices in the hope that the investigation might be averted. If the investigation -of the depart­ ment sustains the evidence already brought to the attention of the attor­ ney general he will bring prosecutions both under the pure-food law and the anti-trust act Dealers selling eggs out of storage for fresh eggs can b« reached under the pure-food act for alleged misbranding. "Tl\ere is no doubt that the cold storage of eggs is responsible for their high prices," said Senator Bristow. "The eggs which we are now eating at 45 and 50 cents a _ dozen were bought for 18 and 20 cents by the cold- storage warehouses. The tariff law has proved a fake, so far as eggs are concerned. The cold-storage houses may be able to buy eggs a few cents cheaper per dozen because of the tariff reduction, but I don't-see that the consumers axe getting them any cheaper." There are three members of con­ gress who have been particularly ac­ tive in trying to get the gpvernment to regulate the cold-storage combine. These are Congressman McKellar of Tennessee, Carry of Wisconsin, and Vare of Pennsylvania. Mr. McKellar's remedy Is a • bill which would prohibit the holding of food' products in cold storage for a period longer than ninety days. T^ie Carry bill would regulate the inters state shipment of cold-storage prod­ ucts and would require conspicuous labeling to show the time of storage. The Vare bill prohibits the sale of cold-storage articles if they have been in storage longer than ten mpnths, and requires labeling to show when the articles went into storage. TWO U. S.

At Columbus, Ohio, and then again at Columbia, North Carolina, a farmer of Saskatchewan carried. oft the highest prize for oats, and in an* other year, will become the possessor of the $1,500 Colorado Trophy; anoth­ er farmer made two Successful ex* hlbits of wheat at the biggest shows In the United States; another farmer of Manitoba won championships and sweepstake at the live stock show in Chicago, and this year expects to da- plicate his successes of last year. These winnings are the more credita­ ble as none of the cattle were ever fed any corn, but raised and fattened oa nature grasses and small grains." At the Dry Firming Congress held at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and Saskatchewan, fanners carried off the principal prizes competing with the world. The most recent winning# of Canada have been made at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where seven of the eigh­ teen sweepstakes rewards at the In­ ternational Soil Products Exposition were taken by Canada in competition with eleven states. The chief prize, a thrashing msr chine, valued at $1,200 for the best bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan. Mon­ tana took four of the sweepstakes, Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two. Russia sent one delegate, Spain had two, Belgium three, China four, Canada fifty, Mexico five, Norway one, Brazil three. In the district in which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack Is to be congratulated as well as the Province of Saskatchewan, and West­ ern Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved in both grain and cattle.--Advertisement, ilJ ! ' Vnv.-v -i £^;V- • . • ?,• • •'; Why It Worried Tommy. Good old school days was the toplo that was being talked in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other day when Congressman George W. Fair- child of New York was reminded of an incident that happened in Gotham. Some time since little Tommy, thai heir of a happy home in that village, started to go to school, and since noth­ ing was said to the contrary, the youngster's father thought he was hugely enjoying himself. It soon developed, however, that papa was making a bum guess. After about'a week Tommy sauntered into the dining room one morning and lm* guldly dropped into an easy chair. "Papa," he remarked to the patero* al relative who was at breakfast, "Fin getting rather tired of going to schooL I think I will stop." "Think you'l stop!" exclaimed the surprised father. "What is your ob­ jection to going to school?" "It's just this way, pap," yawnfuUy answered the youngster. "It breaks up the day so."--Philadelphia Tele*, graph. v v. •-'•r • >• : :% v..4 Watch Growing Children. ,rX Noticed in one of the magazines the other day a strong and sensible plea to mothers to pay more atten­ tion to the physical peculiarities of growing children. For instance, a child ought to be shown the impor­ tance of breathing through the nose instead of the mouth. Breathing through the mouth is not only un- healthful but It spoils the appearance of the face. The child ought to be natural in conduct. Grimaces are something that mothers should dis­ courage. There are also many bad habits in sitting, standing and walking which the fond mother can correctbif a little watchfulness. Moslems Ado£t Christian Ideas. While Mohammedan fanaticism still makes a visit to the holy shrines' of the Moslem faith dangerous to Chris­ tians, it is curious to find that the statistical investigations of the Giaours are being imitated by the Mohamme­ dan authorities. The sanitary admin­ istration of the Ottoman empire has lately issued a statistical statement about the pilgrimages to Mecca. In one recent year 83,995 pilgrims came to Mecca by Bea alone. The largest number of these came from India, and , a few came from as far as Japan. v\ v r; , A-trf; > ' , K ' -r- -- ' :;A? ..*§ • JV * About the time a man gets com­ fortably settled in an easy chair his wife proceeds to stir him up.
