BILL TO TAKE PLACE
OF FOWLER MEASURE
Agreement Reached at Com
mittee Conference.

The House Republicans will abandon
the Fowler currency bill and ask that
the caucus which was called to consider
It next Tuesday night be indefinitely
postponed. This action was decided
upon at a meeting yesterday afternoon
OF the Republican members Of the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.
In place Of the bill a new measure will
be drafted in response &c the demand for
financial legislation. The new bill will
involve but a single proposition. that Of
asset currency, but the plan for this sort
of an issue will differ quite materially
from the scheme proposed IN the meas
tre fathered By Mr Fowler, and which
met with the disapproval not only Of
many bankers. bat leading Republicans
OF the House.
The new measure Will authorize ma
t.onal banks 20 issue asset note currency
10 the extent Of 20 per cent Of their capi-
tai stock. The original Fowler bill pro-
vided for an issue Of this form Of cur
rencv 10 the extent Of 20 per cent OF Tho
Capitalization. and from that mp Go lg'
