VIII Meet at Atlantic City To-day
to Consider LEGISLATION.


Atlantic City, n. j., April 16.-The COM
nlttee on monetary legislation, appointed
at caucus of the Republican members Of
the National House of Representatives
shortly before the adjournment of Con-
gress, will begin its sessions in this city
tomorrow. Gen. David B. Henderson of
Iowa is chairman, and the other members
OF the committee are as follows: John Dali
eel, Pennsylvania; Serene E. Payne, New
York; Jesse Overstreet, Indiana; William
Z. Lowering, Massachusetts; Charles Cur
tbs, Kansas; Page Morris, Minnesota; Eu-
gene f. Loud, California; R. B. Hawley,
Texas; ]. w. Babcock Wisconsin and
- Kerr. Ohio.
The committee is considered to embody
the sound financial thought of the Repub-
Ilcan side of The House. Messrs. Hender-
son and Dalzell make, with Speaker Reed,
majority of the committee on rules; Mr..
Payne is chairman of the committee on
ways and means
1t is expected that the sessions will last
not less than two weeks, and that they
may extend much longer. The committee
may decide to perfect bill to meet the sit
uahon, or they may outline a measure and
year. They will have all of the important
bills on the currency question that We're
before the last Congress, including the
bill of the monetary commission; the Nc
Cleary bill, which was reported favorably
10 the House by the banking committee;
the Hull bill. which was given a favorable
report by the House coinage committee;
the bill prepared by Secretary Gage, and
the bill of Chairman Walker, of the COM
mittee on banking, who is no longer a
member of Congress.
1t is expected that many distinguished
financiers will be given the opportunity to
appear before the committee and present
their views on the subject of the expansion
of the currency, the establishment of the
gold standard and other matters TO be con-
sidered.
H. H. Hanna and other representatives
Of the executive committee of the Indian
apolis monetary convention, will be here
during the sessions to urge the bill of the
monetary commission.
The fact that the leadership Of the
House is represented in the makeup of
the committee, and that their action will
in great degree bind the Republican par
~, may produce a conservative tendency,
but the pressure for some means of meet
ing currency needs is being strongly felt
in Washington and the treasury officials
are reported as determined to urge upon
the committee the necessity of making full
provision for putting the currency on an
enduring basis.
