CURRENCY CAUSES HOT CLASH
SESSION OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
PROVES TURBULENT.

Representative johnson of Indiana
with Chairman WaIl<er--The Lat
ter Threatens to Make the Dispute
"a Personal Matter If 1t Was Per-
sisted in-Mr. Johnson Accuses His
Fellow Republicans of Not Giving
Currency Reform Sincere support.
Washington, Feb. 2.-The House com
mttee on banking and currency had a
turbulent session to-day over the pending
propositions for currency revision.
Early in the meeting Mr. Johnson, Rep,
of Indiana, had a heated coloquy 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 committee action which the
committee should take.
Mr. Walker resented this, saying he
would regard Mr.. Johnson's course as per-
sonal if IL was persisted in.
Later Mr.. Hill of Connecticut moved to
take up the measure embodying the Pres
ident's recommendations as 10 the bank
ing laws. This again met warm opposi-
ton from Mr. Johnson, who said action
of this limited character would be an
tagonistic to the larger measures of cur
rency revision now pending before the
committee. In vehement tones he ques-
toned the good faith of those who were
urging a limited measure of revision, say
ing they were too much concerted in the
annexation of Hawaii TO give sincere sup
port to the fun accomplishment of fnan-
cial 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 be-
fore the committee.
Owing to the feeling aroused on the sub
ject, final action was not taken on the mo-
ton to proceed with the Presidents rec
ommendaton, and the Republican mem
bers determined to take up this and other
subjects later in the day, when the Dem
ocratic members were not present
Without objection the committee de-
termined to report favorably Representa-
tive Coxs bill to promote the saftey Of ma
tional banks. The essential features of

At the caucus of Republican members Of

agreed to go over the several bills before
the committee with a view to agreeing
upon the general principles Of measure
to be reported.

interstate commerce commission VS.. the
East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia
Railroad Company and 16 other roads,
known as the Chattanooga caseH United
States Judge severens delivered decision
this morning.
The decision is adverse to the railroads
and is a complete victory for the commits
sion and the city of Chattanooga. An order
was issued requiring the railroads to at
once make Chattanooga rates the same as
those to Nashville.
The Judge held that the evidence has
shown that the commerce act has been vio-
lated in many ways and that Chattanooga
has been grossly Disseminated against. He
called particular attention to the fact that
freight could be shipped from New York to
Nashville, ISL miles further than Chatta-
nooga, and then back 10 Chattanooga az a
less rate than 1t could be shipped direct
The complaint involved in the case was
first brought before the interstate com
merce commission by the Board of Trade
Of Chattanooga in 1890. II was declared in
favor of the comDlainants and the courts
were called on to enforce the order OF the
commission.

Sutro had enjoyed the advantage Of
good training in a polytechnic school.
He learned OF the mining excitement in
California. he made his way TO the
Pacific coast.
About ten years later. when the Com
stock excitement was at its height, SUI
tro went to Nevada and there he evolved
the famous Sutro-tunnel project. The
scheme was TO construct a tunnel that
would drain and air the then brilliantly
successful properties in the Comstock
group. II took years to accomplish wen
so much as the beginning Of actual
work. Sutro finally secured the neces-
ssry authorizations from the legislature
of Nevada and from congress and there
after, the work., consuming years Of
time. was pushed as rapidly as possible.
The distance from the mouth of the
tunnel to the Savage mine, where, at a
depth Of 1850 feet from the surface it
formed the first connection with the
Comstock lode. is 10000 feet. Lateral
tunnels connect the main bore with
other properties. The tunnel was fin
