CURRENCY stated after the defeat III the
ruiz. that the hall was killed. They also
agreed that no further currency legisla-
ton WAS possible at the present session.
Speaker Crisp and his Democratic asso-
ciatcs OF the rules committee have realized
| for several days that there was a majority
against the bill, and the result was ac-
ceptcd without surprise. Springer, who
! has been in charge of the Carlisle bill in
/ the house said after the test vote against
! the bill: Il will make no effort to take
up the bill again this week. 1t would be
well for the house to turn its attention to
other business and then after Il rest from
the financial debate it may he made ap
