CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-comptroller
James II, Ecktes spoke tonight at the
annual banquet of the Real Estate

singular spectacle OF nine different
kinds Of currency, all except two being

treasury department established by II
Is the grualest banking institution In
the land clothed with the least powers

tIon."
He discussed particularly the "green-
back element" OF the system, because
the harm which It Is doing must be
manifest to all; because every bond Is

TO occur later. The major said this

Mr.. Grow contended that since re-
fections upon members OF the house
were questions OF privilege, reflections
upon the whole house were much more

declared. "ff that had been done Il
