Under Consideration by tho House Com
mittee on Banting and Currency.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--1t was decided
by the house committee on banking
and currency that at their next meet
ing they will consider three bills Of
more than ordinary Importance. One
bill permits bank to issue circulation
to the par value of their bonds. An
other bill restricts the borrowing
of banks funds by the officers
without the full knowledge of
the directors, while the third looks to
the establ ishment of an international
bank. which was one of the recon-
mendations Of the late Pan-American
congress. The vote of the committee
on the first-named bill Is expected
to be close. 1t is predicted that
the bill having reference to the
borrowing money from banks BY
its officers, will be defeated. as
it is believed the publicity giver
TO the condition of the banks By
periodical reports made to the comp
troller of the currency are sure safe
guard to the institutions.
The committee loo k with consider
able favor upon the bill establishing
an international bank In this country
but the question has been raised tina
such measure would not be cons titu
tional.

Give. Out a statement Tor rss'lsssis'

Gives Out a Statement for Pubiieetisn
ToaoSro, Ont, Feb. ai.-The follow
ing statement has been sent to the
press for publication;
Commandant Herbert Booth desires
to state to the press OF the United
States and Canada that the reports
that he summarily demanded the hand
ing over of his brothers commissioner
ship in New York are incorrect.
His presence and that of Sister Field
Commissioner Eva Booth is accounted
for by the fact that Commander Booth
had some weeks back, notified inter-
ne tional headquarters of the army OF
his intention to resign, and had refused
to take another command. Com
mandant booth was ON this account
instructed by headquarters to pro-
ceed to New York and exert broth
er's influence to avert so serious a
calamity and SO irreparable loss.
This he did in conjunction with his
sister Eva and Col. Nicol. They shared
in their efforts effectionately to en-
treat the commander and his wife to
accept several proposals suggested
by the headquarters, to postpone II
not prevent the catastrophe. No
demand of the character stated
was made, but the necessity OF
the temporary withdrawal of the
resignation was urged, as was also a
visit to England for the purpose of a
personal conference with the general.
Commandant Booth wishes to further
state that 1t is untrue that he had any
inclination or desire to succeed hi
brother in New York. Beyond his duties
of counsellor and brotherabove referred
to, the commandment did nothing II
New York. He interferred In no wa,
with that command, and refused alb
solutely to accept any responsibilit,
for his brothers action
He returned to his post immedlatel,
after he found that his efforts failed
and is at the present moment absolute
ly ignorant of the nature of his mex
appointment.

A Dilemma Brought About by the Turn
Ing Down Of the Apportionment Act.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 2i.-Chair-
man Gowdy, having succeeded in secur-
ing the signatures Of a majority of the
members of both houses of the legisla
ture to the agreement regarding the
enactment of fair apportionment
law, will call on Gov. Matthews at
noon and present a memorial
asking that the Legislature be
called to meet in special session
Twenty-eight of the 30 republican
senator's and 6s of the Sc representa-
tives have signed the agreement. The
governor has announced in advance of
the visit that he will not call the legis-
lature, so that the presentation will be
mere formality, which will be fol-
lowed Immediately by suit to set
aside the Legislative apportionment
laws still in force.
il the plan of the republican com
mittee does not miscarry the governor
will, it Is believed, be forced to call a
special session or will have to shoulder
the responsibility for the state being
without legislative branch of the
government.
