Washington, D. C., Jan. 8.—Senator
Bailey of Texas, a member of the sen-
ate committee on finance, does not
approve of the Aldrich currency bill.
"The $250,000,000 emergency cur-
rency provided for in that bill," said
Mr. Bailey today, “is wholly inade-
quate. The amount to be provided
should be more nearly $1,000,000,000
to meet necessities that may arise. I
do not approve of the plan of allow-
ing railroad bonds td be used for se-
curity for these notes. Railroads get
into the hands of receivers too fre-
quently to be used for such purposes.
"Considering the banking system
under wnich we are operating, I have
no objection to the principle Involved
in this proposed issue of emergency
Currency, although I believe that no
money should ever be issued except
by the government itsell.”

In the House.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 8,—The sub-
committee of the house committee on
hanking and currency, to which was
entrusted the framing of a bill to in-
crease the elasticity of the currency,
reached a conclusion today, and will
: eport favorably to the full commit-
tee a bill drawn In the main by Chair-
man Fowler of the committee.
A bill will be introduced by Mr.
Fowler and referred to the commit-
tee, where it will form the working
basis for the framing of a hill of pos-
sibly the same scope and tenor.
The Proposed Law.
The bill provld.eg for the complete
retirement of all" present outstanding
national hank bond-secured currency,
and authorizes in lieu thereof a cur-
rency based upon general assets of the
banks to'bo worked out in this way:
The comptroller of the currency
will designate throughout the country
certain redemption cities, so that
there shall bo a redemption city within
at least-24 hours’ mail of the national
The thanks will indicate to
JjyW comptroller of the currency to
What redemption city they wish to be
joined The comptroller will then se-
iera time and place within each re-
dan ption district for the organizing
of that district in the following man-
ner :
Each national bank in that district,
regardless of Its capital stock, will
be entitled to one vote. Representa-
-'fives of the banks will meet at a time
and place designated and elect a
board of managers to consist of seven
members. The seven will elect a
Chairman who will become a deputy
comptroller of the currency and as-
sume control of his redemption dis-
trict, except that he shall not have
charge of the enforcement of the
criminal statutes. >
Each national bank is authorized
to present to the secretary of the
treasury national bank notes and law-
ful moneys in lieu of other national
bank bond secured outstanding notes.
Then If the banks application there-
fore is endorsed by,the board of man-
agers of the redemption district to
which it belongs, the bank will re-
call guaranteed credit notes to the
amount -of its capital stock. These
notes will be subject to a tax of two
per cent per annum. Each bank will
be required to deposit as a guaranty
fund with the treasurer of the United
States five per cent of its average de-
posits, preceding twelve months, and
five per cent of the credit notes which
it takes out. The revenue thus ob-
tained is to create this support of a
guaranty fund of $600,000,000 for the
guaranty of both the deposits and the
outstanding bank notes of every na-
tional hank. Eighty per cent of this
fund is to be Invested in United States
bonds drawing two per cent interest,
while the remaining twenty per cent
is to be deposited in banks of the
various redemption cities for the pur-
pose of redeeming the guaranteed
credit notes of the banks of the vari-
ous redemption districts.
National Guaranty Fund.
When the national guaranty fund
reaches $25,000,000, which would be
almost simultaneous with the birth
of the row law, the- government is
required to return to the banks and
United States bonds which the gov-
ernment now holds security for feder-
al deposits, the being to enable
' the banks to get control of the bondB
so that the government can Invest the
eighty per cent of the guaranty fund
in two per cent bonds and regain con-
trol.
In buying these bonds the banks
holding them shall be paid their
original purchase price, providing their
exact purchase price can be proved.
It Is Mr. Fowler's idea, as embodied
in the bill, to have the new credit
notes printed on a green back ground,
in differention from the yellow back
ground of the gold notes and white
background of the silver certificates.
Mr. Fowler, chairman of the com-
mittee on banking and currency, to-
day made the following statement re-
garding the financial situation:
The Fowler Plan.
“We are today with regard to our
financial and currency practices where
we were in 1896 with regard to the
standard of values, and to decide now
to make all kinds of bonds the basis
of currency would be Just as serious
and fatal a mistake as to have adopt-
ed silver then as our standard of
value.
"The time is ripe, the circumstances
are auspicious, and a careful investiga-
tion of all the facts and conditions
justifies the conclusion that congress
can and should legislate as to bring-
ing about these results:
"First—A uniform banking system.
“Second—Uniform bank reserves
consisting of gold Issue or Its equiv-
alent.
“Third—A simple and scientific
monetary system consisting of only
three form* of currency—gold for our
bank reserves, bank credit notes re-
deemable In gold’for the larger bills,
and silver for the smaller bills and
subsidiary coins.
“Fourth—A currency automatically
adjusting itself to the demands of
trade, never too great, never too
small, but always just adequate to our
requirements.
"Fifth—Equal and absolute protec-
tion to all depositors in national banks
by placing in the United States treas-
ury a guaranty fund which by Janu-
ary, 1909, ought to approximate $500,-
000,000.
"Sixth—The establishment of cer-
tain rules and regulations whereby
the financial operations of the treas-
ury shall be so conducted that the gov-
ernment will cease to be a disturbing
factor in our trade and commerce."
Employers’ Liability.
-Washington, D. Jan. 8.—Repre-
sentative Bates of Pennsylvania in-
troduced a bill modifying the employ-
ers ’liability law so as to meet the
decision of the United States supreme
court, declaring that law unconstitu-
tional. It is identical in terms with
the hill introduced yesterday by Sen-
ator Knox.
Home of Jackson.
Washington* D. C., Jan. 8.—Little
business was transacted by the house
today, A rule giving the bill to revise,
codify and amend the laws the right
of -way along with other preferred
measures was adopted. The bill was
immediately taken up and upon the
conclusion of its reading was laid
aside to permit -Mr. Gaines of Ten-
nessee to address the house in favor
of an appropriation ofr Hermi-
tage, the home of Andrew Jackson,
near Nashville, Tenn.

to Secretary William H. Taft as a

"We, the executive committee of the

ican Federation of 1 Jibor, In sentiment
and sympathy with union members of
all political parties in this country,
hereby declare ourselves opposed to
the nomination of William H. Taft,
secretary of war, for the presidency.
“That we recognize in him, through
his public utterances and judicial de-
cisions and opinions, the arch enemy
of organized labor: that he is the in-
strument and exponent of capitalistic
power; that the writ of injunction
which he upholds, never was intended
to and never should be permitted to
deprive honest industry of its per-
sonal rights; that we object, to his
methods of campaigning as any one
man’s man, however exalted and In-
fluential may be his master, or wide-
spread his own spirit and endeavor;
and that we are determinedly and ir-
revocably opposed to his candidacy.”

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 8.—Judge Wal-
ter H. Sanborn of the United States
circuit court, today appointed A. B.
Stickney and Charles H. F. Smith,
both residents of St. Paul, receivers
for the Chicago Great Western rail-
road. A. B. Stickney is now presi-
dent of the road. The firm of Kellogg
and Severance of St. Paul, was ap-
pointed attorneys for the directors.
The appointment of receivers follow-
ed the inability of the company to
meet obligations failing due in 1908
and failure to secure an extension of
the obligations.
Imss as a result of the boilermak-
ers' strike of last fall is given as a
partial cause for the financial straits
of the road.
It was also pointed out in the pro-
ceedings today that during (he last ten
years the read has spent $19,000.(1(10
in re-organization. A petition for a
receivership was filed on behalf of
the stockholders and the finance com-
mittee by John A. Hamberg of Min-
nesota, George A. Meyer of New
York, and Ward Cummings and Alex-
ander Wallace of Great Britain. As
soon as (he petition for the complain-
ant had been filed an answer was til-
ed on behalf of the board of directors
who met today und voted to become
a party to the-receivership proceed-
ing*.
Kellogg's Statement.
In asking for the appointment of re-
ceivers, Mr. Kellogg said:
"The capital of the Chicago Great
Western .consists of four classes of
stock, but two of which need bp con-
sidered in the receivership proceed-
ings. These are the preferred "A”
and the debenture stock, each of which
reprsented 50 per cent of the original
first mortgage bonds.
“The preferences of these two class-
es of stocks are secured by a trust
deed to the Manhattan Trust company
of New York. There will be a default
In the payment of these obligations
January 15,” Mr. Kellogg said
Mr. Kellogg said that the Great
Western owes $J0,052,414 now due or
falling due within the next four years,
of which notes to the amount of $545,-
000 have gone to protest.
“The sum, exceeding $10,000,000,"
continued Mr. Kellogg, “is part of
$19,000,000 spent hv the Great West-
ern In the last leu years and for the
most part in the last, five years, in re-
building the read. New steel has been
laid, double tracks have been built,
grades have been reduced, bridges and
terminals have been constructed.
There was due last month notes to the
amount of £50,000 and there will be
during the rest of January notes ag-
gregating £282,200, while the total
amount of obligations due during 1908
is $3,342,544.”
Mr. Kellogg further said that the
Great Western, which is an Illinois
corporation, owns in fee without mort-
gage, lines of railroad in Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri. It
also owns a terminal lease of a line
from St. Paul to Minneapolis.
Physical Property.
In addition the Great Western owns
all the stock of and -operates the Ma-
son City and Fort Dodge railroad, a
line about 10() miles long This line
is mortgaged for $12,000,000. (!2 per
cent of its cost. The Great Western
also has a lease of this line by the
terms of which the Great Western is
to guarantee the interest on the bonds.
The Chicago Great Western places in
a trust fund Go per cent of the point
earnings of the Great eWstern and the
Mason City and Fort Dodge, and out
of this trust fund the Great Western
pays the operating expenses of the
Mason City read, the remainder of the
trust fund going to guarantee the fu-
ture Interest of the $12,000,000 bonds.
The Great Western, however, has
the use of this accumulating interest
fund, and there Is now in the trust
fund $1,289,624. The Great Western
also owns stock under similar condi-
tions of the Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Pacific, which is bonded to the extent
of $5,811,000. Fifty per cent of the
Joint earnings of this road go Into the
trust fund in which there is now avail-
able $499,238. The Great Western
also owns stock of the Dekalb and
Great Western, capital said to be
*500,000,
Attachment on Property,
Mr, Kellogg said that under the laws
of the state in which the Great West-
ern operates, creditors might secure
an attachment on its properly, thus
wrecking the road and preventing it
from fulfilling its obligations to the
public.
Primarily on this ground, the possi-
bility that it might be prevented from
performing its functions as a common
carrier, Judge Sanborn Issued the or-
der for the appointment, of the receiv-
er*. He also gave as an additional
ground the tact that a judgment of
$70,000 had already been secured
against the road.

'New York, Jan. 8—-Unable to meet
payments due on his stock in the In-
stitution today. F. Augustus Hetuzo
lost control of the Mercantile National
hank, the conduct of which its presi-
dent had brought about hits arraign-
ment in the United States circuit court
earlier In the day on charges of out
certification.
One year ago Heinze bought a con-
trolling interest from the Goulds,
with whom he pledged his holdings as
security for his pitnnise to pay them
in full within one year. This loan of
$1,200,000 was due today to Edwin
Gould and William Nelson Grom well,
who was.a member of the Gould party
in (he bank before the Mercantile was
added to the Heingo-Morse-Thonias
chain of financial Ilduses. Up to the
last, moment allowed him Heinze
struggled to meet his obligations and
so to retain his hanking Interests. Ills
failure was chronicled in the follow-
ing statement issued by Mr. Cromwell
after an afternoon’s conference of the
parties concerned:
“The Heinze stock in the Mercan-
tile National bank has been acquired
by Mr. Gould In a satisfactory ar-
rangement. Mr. Heinze was given ev-
ery chance to pay for the stock. Inil
because of his inability to do so in
the time agreed upon we have been
forced to take It over.’’
Later Mr. Cromwell added that the
Gould interests would assume their
proper place in the bank hdard at
the meeting on January 14. This im-
plies that the so-called Heinze direc-
tors will then retire.
Heinze Arraigned.
This morning Heinze, now under
bail consequent upon an Indictment
by the federal grand jury on a charge
of over-certification of checks of his
brother's brokerage firm involving
$4G(i,000. was arraigned before Judge
Chat field.
A plea of not guilty, was returned
and permission was had to alter or
withdraw it, or to 'make any motions
later. An adjournment of the ease
was ordered until January 20. when
the final plea will be made. The hail
of $!iO,000 was continued.
It was reiiorted today that other
men equally as prominent us Heinze
in Wall street operations were to be
called before the federal authorities
to plead in similar indictments. Who
they are or when their arrests are to
be expected, could not .be learned at
the United States district attorney’s
office. It Is known that the grand jury
Is not yet through with Its Inquiry

“It. would he improper for me to:

Chicago, 111., Jan. 8— The stand-
points from which the aristocrat and
Iho democrat views society anti its ac-
tivities, formed the theme of a speech
delivered here tonight by William Jen-
nings Bryan. Mr. Bryan was the chief
guest at llie Jackson day banquet of
the Jefferson club, a Democratic or-
ganization Prominent party men
from several Western states were
present,, the occasion being generally
regarded as the formal aliening of Mr.
Bryan's campaign for the Democratic
nomination for Iho presidency at the
Denver convention next July. Among
the other speakers were A dial Steven-
son, former vice-president o.i Bloom-
ington, Illinois, and United States
Senator William J. Stone of Missouri
The speakers generally confined
themselves to issues -of the day. Plea,,
for party harmony were frequently
made. Previous 10 ihe banquet most
of the leaders present conferred with
Mr. Bryan, who arrived early in the
morning and spent the day with mem-
bers of Iho club.
United States Senator Jeff Davis of
Arkansas, was scheduled for a Speech
hut was not present. Despite this hia-
tus In the program Ihe. proceedings
were r > lengthy that li was past mid
night before Mr llrvan was called
upon. He salt! in pari:
Aristocrat and Democrat.
“The questions which involve a dis-
cussion of the relative sphere of the
nation and the state, bring out the
difference In the point of view of the
a.’rlHtocral and Ihe demri-rnt. The
aristocrat wonts to gel the govern
merit as far away from the people art
possible: the democrut desires lo
living file government as near the pms
pic as possible. The aristocrat would
substitute national remedies for stale
ones, because predatory wealth can
protect Itself from national legislation
more easily Ilian from stab' logis
lotion: (lie democrat would add the ita-
tiomil remedy lo the stale remedy,
and thus give to the people tile pro-
tection ef hot It the stale and federal
governments.
“The labor question Ik considered
front boiit standpoints. The aristocrat
thinks only of the large employers:
the democrat of the army of employes
and of Ihe general public which Is in-
convenienced lit any disruption of
friendly relations between employes
and employers.
As to Imoerialism.
"Tile question of imperialism III like
manner presents the difference in
viewpoint. The imperialist thinks
more of the extension of commerce
than of tin- preservation of the ideas
of self government, and he thinks only
of th<( benefits that might come to
tbe comparative few; the democrat
knows that trade purchased at (he
cannon’s month costs more than It Is
worth, arid ttint the cost falls upon all
the people, while the profits accrue to
but a few.
“And so whatever question wo tnlo
up, wo find that everything depends
upon the point of view from which we
examine the question, and there Is no
better illustration of this than caliche
found in the financial stringency
through which we are passing. The
Rt publican leaders at once rush to
the rescue of the banks after those
banks had brought the stringency upon
the country hv their unbusinesslike
methods The banks of ihe yest of tic
count11 were discriminated against In
favoi of tin? banks of New 5 of'K t i;y
and after the government had exhaust
ed the loanable surplus in the treasury
It borrowed money at 3 per cent In
>rder that. It might have money to loan
to the banks for nothing: and the high
financiers count It. patriotic to loan out
at emergency rates the treasury tttoti
ey furnished them without interest
Republicans Helped Bankers.
’If the Republican leaders had
spent half as much time in trying to
make depositors secure as they have
spent in trying to increase the profits
of the hankers, we would not have
had any panic at all.
The country Is ripe f >r the applica-
tion of democratic principles to gov-
ernment. and all that is necessary Is
for the Democratic party to convince
the people that ft will be truly demo-
cratic if entrusted with power.
“Wi)! the Democratic party |,<, dem-
ocratic? Let II convince the public
that, it will be, and we shall have a
victory which will in- fruitful in blers-
Ings to every part of the country and
to every element of our population.”
Stevenson.
Mr. Stevenson spoke earlier In the
evening. He said in part:
“We enter Upon the presidential
contest of 1908 with splendid pros
poets for success. The skies art-
bright, the omens all auspicious. With
the living Issues—antagonism to
trust*, tariff reform, rigid economy In
public expenditures, honest methods
in all departments of the public ser-
vice, a proper recognition of the true
functions of the. separate departments
of the government, a return from haz-
ardous experiment In administration
to the safe pathway of the fathers—
with these well to the forefront the
hour of Democratic opportunity has
come To the end that It might prove
likewise the hour of Democratic tri-
umph let the spirit of conciliation, ol’
unity, of harmony, tie invoked upon
all our counsels."
RUSSIAN BANDIT
CAUGHT IN GOTHAM
Another Democratic Meeting.
Now York. Jan. 8,—Speaking to the
topic ‘Why is the Democratic i»arty
divided?” Morgan .1. O’Brien, ex-
justice of the appellate division of
the New York supreme court, who
was the guest of the National Demo-
cratic club tonight, declared that if
llie causes ihat have divided the party
were summarised It would he found
"that they have been due to our fail-
ure to stand firmly for Democratic
principles: to a preference shown by
some for popular sentiment, as con-
travened with sound doctrine; and to
a preference for men rather than a
reverence for party traditions.”
Grover Cleveland, who was unable
to be present, sent his compliments in
a letter, in which he expressed the
conviction that tin* situation confront-
ing the people -had <1 tree ted their at-
tention more to their relief from con-
ditions than alarm had startled them,
than to empty satisfaction of partisan
supremacy.
Ex-Justice O’Brien, after referring
in highly complimentary terms to Mr.
'Cleveland, and by inference lo Alton
B, Barker, as "an ideal candidate.”
said:
“The alms and principles of the
party have been wo frequently stated
in platforms and public addresses and
so well summarized in Jefferson's first
iuagmal address, that ii is unneces-
sary to repeat them at length; but in
passing it is proper to note that when
ever the party has stood firmly and
Unitedly for these principles, we have
never met with a defeat-, and ii has
only been when tin* party has been
divided because of the hope that some
good would result from following some
shifting popular sentiment, or Home
new and impracticable reform, that
we have rnvf with overwhelming and
deserved defeat
“To ascertain the cause of this, we
need hut. look carefully Into the cam
palgns that have been waged, and con-
trast the men and the measures that
were successful with the conditions
that existed at the time of defeat."
