members Of the house committee on
banking and currency were In private
session yesterday to consider the bill Of
Representative Fowler for q revision OF
the currency. Fowler'e hearing closed
yesterday and Chairman Walker will
follow with two days exposition Of the

The purpose Is first to secure agree
ment among the Republican members
and then have united action before the
full committee. BY this means it is
hoped to command the rine votes which
are requisite in the full committee in or.
der to report a bill. The strong ten
dency among the members is to report
the proposition embodied in the presi-
dents message to congress with some
enlargement on the lines of general cur
rency revision. but not to the extent of
securing distinct expression on the
gold standard or for the retirement of
the greenbacks.

The GUARDS PICNIC
CHIEF GLASS SPoIIS THE FUN
AND THE RECEIPTS
No Beer Sold But the Bevera &c Was
Given Away With a Piece OF
Barbecued Meat

La Societa Unione g Fratellanza Gar o.
baldina," otherwise known as the Carl
balG guards, held picnic at SycamorB
grove yesterday. They do not claim that
the occasion was a bowling success, for 1t
was not True, they had a good time--the
limited number who were present-but at
the last moment in the completion Of prep
arations for the large and, profitable day
they anticipated their principal source OF
revenue was knocked out. For this they
were yesterday paying their compliments
to Chief Glass In terms neither mild nor
flattertng.
1t seems that about two weeks ago the
promotsrv OF tho picnic called on a men,
ber Of the police commission and from him
obtained an alleged authority to sell beer
at the grove on the occasion OF their out
ing. OF course, the police commissioners
have no moro right nor power to grant such
a privilege than has any other citizen, and
the permit the picnickers claim to have
been granted was at the most probably
only an agreement to wink at this technical
violation of the law. At any rate, the
guards made their arrangements In &C
cordance with their understanding Of the
privilege and contracted for a liberal al-
lowance Of malt extract" from the free
and unhampered sale of which they ex-
pected to make a substantial profit for the
benefit of their society.
Saturday afternoon, however, Chief Glass
got onto the scheme. and. as the police
commissions desires in this matter were
no more to him than in some other affairs,
he overruled them, and told the guards
they would not be allowed to sell the beer.
He also advised the committee that two
officers would be on the grounds to see that
his order was obeyed. This rather took the
wind out of the committees sails and tt
stopped its preparations for the outing
at once.
The situation became no1sed about Sat-
urtlay evening among those who contem-
plated going, and, as a result, the crowd
at tho grove yesterday was a rather thin
one. The elaborate program Of sports, etc.,
prepared was dropped, and only those
events which could not be cast aside were
carried out. The beer was there, but It
was given away-a glass with each piece
of barbecued meat bought But Chief
Glass's edict knocked all the enthusiasm
out of the occasion. and the free beer lunch
counter was not as literally patronized as
a bar conducted on q cold business basis
would have been.
the afternoon and evening dances were
heartily enjoyed. The committee included
F. Arconti, president: s. Guasti, F. Besal-
