BANKING AND CURRENCY.
Turbulent Committee Meeting'-Cox
Bill TO BE Favorably Reported.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February q
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency held a turbulent session to-day,
over the pending propositions for curren-
cy revision.
Early in the meeting Mr. Johnson (Re-
publican). of Indiana. had heated colo
auv with Chairman Walker. in the course
Of which Mr.. Johnson declared that the
chairman was pursuing a rule or ruin"
policy as TO the line OF currency action
which the committee should take. Mr..
Walker resented this. saying he would
regard Mr. Johnson's course as personal,
if IT was persisted In.
Later Mr.. Hill of Connecticut, moved
to take up the measure embodying the
Presidents recommendations as to three
specific changes in the banking laws.
This again met warm opposition from
Mr.. Johnson. who said action OF TINS
limited character would be antagonstlc
TO the larger measures OF currency .e-
vision now pending before the commit
tee. In vehement tones he questioned
the good faith of those who were urging
q limited measure Of revision, saying
that they were too much concerned in the
annexation of Hawaii to give sincere sup
mort TO the full accomplishment of finan-
cal reform
With much feeling and emphasis Mr..
Johnson expressed his regret that the
President had not earnestly urged the
fullest measure of currency revision, in
stead of the limited plan now brought
before the committee.
Owing to the feeling aroused on the
subject. final action was not taken On
the motion to proceed with the Presl-
dents recommendation, and the Republi-
can members determined to take up this
and other subjects later in the day. when
the Democrats members were not
present.
Without objection, the committee &C.
termined to report favorably Representa-
tive Coxs bill to promote the safety of
national banks. The essential feature OF
the measure is a restriction on bank
officers from borrowing the funds of a
bank, and thus crippling it, 1t provides
that no such loan shall be made until
a majority of the bank directors approve
IT, 1t also prohibits the overdrawing OF
accounts by the presidents. directors, and
other officers Of banks. Violation of the
nroyision is made a misdemeanor, subject
TO fine or Imprisonment.
AT the caucus OF RepuUhcan members
of the committee during the afternoon
II was agreed TO go over the several
hills before the committee with view
To agreeing upon the general principles
of a measure to be reported.
