The indianapolis Monetary Conference
Committee Calls on Speaker Reed.


Washington, March 26.-The MEM
bers of the committee on legislation
which was appointed by the lndianap-
oils monetary convention of last sum
mer, called on Speaker Reed to-day ana
talked with him concerning legislation
for currency and banking reform. Inc
spokesmen of the delegation were
George Foster Peabody, OF New YORK;
John p. Irish, of San Francisco, and
II. II. Hanna, of Indianapolis. They
spoke of the desirability Of a bill au-
thorizing the President to appoint
commission to investigate the banking
and currency system Of the country and
to recommend changes.
If any bill embodying a system which
was acceptable to the business interests
of the country could lie passed they
would endorse such legislation. without
the creation of any commission. The
need of changes in the present banking
system which would insure a more plen-
tiful and elastic supply OF circulation
for farming districts remote from the
cities, was the principal point that they
urged in support of their movement.
Mr.. Rcd told the committee that the
massage of the tariff bill was the hrst
and principal work cut out for this
session of Congress
The conference was informal ana
pleasant. but had no definite results

Norris took the first three laps with
the men riding like demons to keep up

a better pace than Norris. On the
sixth lap the pace-makers were ordered
out and the men left to fight 1t orN
alone. Stevens made the pace Tor tho
next lap and looked a sure winner, but
