BANKING AND CURRENCY.
cemssireiier Ecksls Explains Ms Views 10 tie
House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Before tn,
House committee on banking and cur
rency, today, Comptroller Eckels sait
that the prosperity of banks depende,
upon the prosperity of the people, ant
no bank would contract its circulatio,
IL Dy SO doing they would disturb OF
derange business matters. The bank.
would do all in their power to avoid
panics.
Mr.. Cox, DEM, of Tennessee, asked
of there was any serious objection t.
using greenbacks as a basis of bank.
ing; to use them as bonds were now
used. in this way to keep them away
from the treasury? Mr.. Eckels replied
that this would simply imprison them
for life instead of giving them direct
circulation. Bonds We're issued for a
definite period of time; legal tenders
were continuing obligations.
In reply to a question by Mr.. John
son, Rep, of Indiana, he said that in
his opinion banking against bonded
ness depend on something besides its
demands. The demand for gold began
shortly after the passage of the Sher-
man act. The outcome of this law
was discussed before it's final passage,
by foreign financial papers. and one
German writer forecasted exactly what
has happened. When the contract for
gold was made with a syndicate, the
treasury had but IS, 100000 in gold coin.
1t was no wonder the people were
alarmed. The government had no right
to place itself in a position to be at the
mercy of outside parties.
1t should be on the same footing as
any business concern. If banks We're
to issue currency they should deter
mine how much they would keep out.
They were sure to keep out all they
could at a profit. Any law which es-
tablished hard and fast line as to the
issues banks should make would de-
feat its own purpose-supplying the
needs Of trade and commerce. The first
step was to retire legal tenders, give
banks the right of note issue and place
on them the duty of redeeming their
issues in gold. He would have the
government do only what could not be
properly done by private parties and
corporations.
Mr.. McCleary, Rep, of Minnesota
asked why banks could better MAIN
tain gold payments than the govern
ment. Mr.. Eckels replied that the
banks had machinery, and the gov
eminent had not. Mr.. Newlands, Sill
YER of Nevada, asked if Mr.. Eckels
proposed to make bank currency legal
tender Mr.. Eckels replied that he did
not. Their circulating notes would
simply be promises to pay.
The committee adjourned until Mon
day, when Mr.. Eckels will be further
examined. The committee held an eX-
ecutive session at which a resolution
was adopted requesting Secretary
Carlisle to appear and give the COM
mittee the benefit Of his views on
banking and currency matters.

REVOLVING TUaaEr, FOR FORTS.
The Originator Of the Idea and Its First Use
on the monitor.

Washington, Jan. 28.-The bill intro
duced by Representative Fischer of
New York, looking to the improvement
of Romer shoals in New York harbor,
and the establishment on the shoals of
revolving turrets supplied with guns
for harbor defence, has attracted gen.
eral attention; but few persons prob
ably are aware that this is really re-
turn to the rudimentary idea from
which sprang the design of the little
Monitor, which did such effective work
at critical stage of the war of seces-
sion.
Theodore r. Timby, young man
preparing for life work, was on his
way to Washington in the winter Of
1923, and in crossing the ferry at
New York was struck by the appear
ance of one of the round forts visible
from the boats deck. 1t occurred to
him that as the fort was then arranged,
the set of guns on the water side must
always be used for the defence OF that
side alone, while the other side, which
commanded the land, would have little
use for it's guns, as attacking parties
would not be likely to come from that
quarter. The idea occurred to him that
volve upon pivot so that the guns
could be successfully utilized on either
side from which it might be necessary
to repel an attack, the guns on the I'M
used side could be loading while the
guns On the other were firing.
AS soon as he reached Washington he
laid this idea before several eminent
men in Congress, and also set about
the development of his invention, on
which, in due course, he took out a
patent. Before the outbreak of our
civil war he had visited Europe and
Asia to see if he could get some of the
foreign governments to take up his re-
volving-fort scheme as he had planned
it. After the opening of our war Erics-
son, who is generally spoken of as the
inventor of the Monitor was i'm
pressed with the Timby plan, and it
struck him that, il one of these revolv-
ing forts could be placed on a raft-like
boat it could be made to do very good
service in the midst of hostile fleet.
This is the story of the inception of the
Monitor Ericsson always recognized
Timby's claim as inventor and patentee,
and paid him for many years a royalty
for the use of his invention.
The Fischer bill now proposes to put
into active use Timby's original plan,
which has never yet had a practical
illustration in the manner first de-
signed.

A Michigan man has invented a
buoy for locating a sunken vessel. The
invention consists of a bouy placed on
the vessel and attached by a cable to
a reel located in the hull, so that in
case of the ships sinking the buoy
floats to the surface and marks the
place where the vessel went down.
Provision is also made for chamber
in the buoy where the ships log and
other valuables can be placed. together
with chart giving the latitude and
longitude ana last official information
desired at the time of sinking so that,
should the cable connecting the buoy
with the sinking vessel become severed
