A CAUCUS ON CURRENCY PLANS.
Carlisle and Springer Prepare
q New Bill.
Important Features Introduced in
the Substitute.
SIckleH of New York Puts Himself on
Record in End
of the Plan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-A caucus OF
the banking and currency committee
Democrats was held at the committee
room last night, the following members
being present: Springer. Cox. Culber-
son, Sperry, Warner, Cobb OF Alabama
and Ellis. The abssntees were Cobb OF
Missouri, Hail OF Missouri snd Johneon.
1t wsu reported that Secretary Csrlisle
WAS present, but thia proves incorrect.
The discussion took q wide range end
the sentiment was general that the bill
would have to be materially changed in
order to meet objections and command
a support which would secure its pas
sage. The needed amendments were
formulated and when the caucus ad-
iourned il was not contemplated that
the Carlisle bill should bs more than
amended. 1t WAS arranged that Mr..
Springer should see Seoratarg Carlisle
changes.
CARLISLE AGREES.
When Secretary Carlisle and Mr..
Springer met today it wac determined
that the better plan would be to frame
new measure in the nature of substi-
tate instead of mutilating the original
bill with many amendments which went
to it's vital principles. Accordingly the
substitute was agreed to in full, and as
soon as it can be copied and put in
proper bill for 10 it will bs presented to
tho house and thenceforth be the bill on
which currency debate is to proceed.
Two important features will appear in
the substitute. The original Carlisle
bill contemplated that all national
banks must reorganize under this plan.
This would have required them to sur
render govrrnment bonds which do not
constitute the basis OF their circulation.
The substitute does away with this
comparative change. II the national
banks wish to continue to hold their
United States bonds and issue circula.
tien thereon, they may do so. 1t is felt
they will eoon discover the advantages
of the new system and therefore adopt
it Voluntarily.
IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The other important feature of the
substitute is that it does away with un-
known liability; banks guarantee notes
OF all other banks. The original bill
contemplated that if national bank
failed its notes would be paid out of it's
assets and the general safety fund.-"
made up by all the bsnks. But If the
aesets and safety fund were insufficient
to pay the notes of the failed bank, then
the comptroller of tho currency was to
make O pro rata assessment on all the
banks of the country. The banks said
this prospective assessment nhouldered
them with an unknown rick. In effect
it made them supply insurance upon all
notes of banks in which they had no
concern.
In view OF those criticisms, the substi-
tute will do away with the assessment
plan. The "safety fund" will be linn
tied to the joint liability of all banks
for the failure of individual banks. They
will, however. be compelled to keep up
this safety fund by more rigid provis-
ions than proposed In the original bill.

SINGULAR DISCOURSE OF AN IOWA

Employers Blamed In Part for Bank
ERIK Huntington's Untim"ly
4 End.

Council BLUFFS. Ia, Dec. 21.-The
funeral of John Huntington, the young
bank clerk who killed himself after
shooting two examiners for the Fidelity
and Casualty company ON Sunday, was
held at the Fret Presbyterian church.
DR.. Stephen Phelps the pastor, in his
remarks, made some rather sensational
utterances. The preacher eaid:
BORN OF FRENZY.
"If there is any money missing, and
that it is missing has not yet been
proved, the hand lyi ing at my feet grasp
ing that nosegsy OF flowers did not take
it. Huntington was aensitive to evil or
imputation OF evil. The ehooting was
not planned beforehand; it was born Of
frenzy. Who ia responsible for that
frenzy? God in his good time will an
swsr. He felt the waves OF frenzy steal
ing over him and his eyes looked in
vain from one to another of the group
before him for help Those who should
have been there to protect him had left
him to fight his battle alone. Ii they
had any idea OF the thoughts that were
surging through his brain how willingly
would they have said the word or done
the dead that might have provented the
horrible event.
EMPLOYERS BLAMED.
"Why is it that business men have
come to the point where they must
hunt our young men down? RESPONSE
bility demands a suitable return.
Where thousands OF dollars pasu through
q Young mans hands, with every temp
tstion to crookedness held out to him,
how can there be any justice in paying
him only $45 month? If the young
man had not been breaking the Sabbath
under compulsion of his employers this
shooting would not have taken place.
Employers should stand by when their
men are in trouble and not leave them
to merciless people who hold their posi-
tions because they are experts in the
art of treading on the feelings of their
fellow men"
