Sub-COmmittee on Finance Leg
 isIatiOn Ask His Views
BILL IS IN PREPARATION
Members Have Been Engaged Two Days at Warwick With Their Clerks and stenosraphers.
 Nothing Is Given Out.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, August 12,-Presi- dent Roosevelt had as his guests tonight at Sagamore Hill the members of the sub committee of the senate committe on finance, which is engaged in drafting a currency measure to be submitted to congress next fall. The subcommittee consists of Senators Aldrlch. Rhode Is- land, chairman; Platt Connecticut; Ali son, Iowa, and spooner. Wisconsin.
 Prior to the adjournment of congress last spring this subcommittee was ap- pointed and authorized to sit during the recess of congress to study the financial situation, and prepare a measure to meet the requirements of the situation as the committee viewed it, for introduction when the senate should re-convene. On this work the committee sometimes, as individuals, part of the time as a body. has engaged during the latter part of the summer.
 For day or two the members have been the guests of Senator Aldrich at his Warwick residence, near Providence. They are preparing now to put into con- crete form the results of their inves- tigation and labor.
 Desiring to consult with President Roosevelt regarding the work the sub committee came to Oyster Bay late this afternoon.
 It could not be ascertained definitely whether draft of a currency measure had been made and was to be discussed tonight or not; but as the senators have been engaged for two days at Warwick with their clerks and stenographers 1t is reasonably certain that some progress has been made toward the preparation of a currency bill. The object of the commit- tee Is to asceftain the views cf Presi- dent Roosevelt with definiteness in or der, if possible. to meet them in the framing of the measure. It is understood to be the desire of all, including the President that the bill should be ready for introduction at the extraordinary ses- sion which the President has announced he will call Monday, November 9.
 Prior to that time the subcommittee will submit it's draft of the proposed measure to the full republican member ship of the senate committee on finance, or probably such other republican sem ators as may be accessible. It Is hoped that measure may pc urdWh ehae "iii meet the approval of all republican sena- tors so that when 1t is introduced 1t may have the undivided party support It can be said that the President Is not welded to any particular plan of currency re- form so-called. but desires simply that practicable scheme be evolved and put into the form of legislation at an early date that will render the currency sys- ten of the country more elastic and less likely to be affected by the fluctuations of values or the demands for money at crop-moving seasons.
 It is stated to be unlikely that any definite information concerning the work of the subcommittee already accomp- lished will be given to the public at this time.

CROWDS THRONG
 THE COURTROOM
YoUTSEY IS HELD UNDER GUARD UNTIL CALLED TO GO UPON THE WITNESS STAND IN THE POW FRS TRIAL.

Georgetown, Ky, August 12.-In antici- Youtsey to the witness stand in the Powers conspiracy case, the Scott Cir cult courtroom was crowded this morn- ing for the first time since the trial op- ened. Youtsey arrived here from the pen- itentiary at Frankfort at B o'clock, and is awaiting call to the witness stand. Whor- ton Golden was cross-examined by the defense. Much time will be consumed by his testimony, and that of others who are to precede Youtsey, who will not be called until late this afternoon. if at all today. The cross examination of Golden developed nothing new.
 Attorney Sims of the defense was fined SlO by the court for pursuing an investiga- ton along a line held by the court to be incompetent in the interrogation of wit ness Golden. This witness left the stand at II o'clock and Mrs. Roach of El Paso, Tex, followed. She told of letters from Powers In which he told her the invading army at Frankfort would fight if neces- sary. She said that after she first came here as a witness Powers sent for her to come to the jail and asked her to go away and not testify. He offered her money.
 Henry Youtsey, the star witness of this trial of Caleb Powers will take the wit ness stand tomorrow morning He is be- ing kept tonight under guard in room at the Wellington hotel. His examlna- ton will consume two days and probably longer. Shortly after he concludes the commonwealth will close it's case and the presentation of the evidence of the defense will begin. There are but four witnesses.

Bar Harbor, Me. August 12.-While leaving the harbor. during a thick fog. about noon today, in company with other vessels of the North Atlantic squadron, the battleship Massachusetts sustained considerable damage by striking on the edge of rocks off the western end of Egg Rock. The big vessel slipped over the rocks into deep water but the two for ward bulkheads soon filled and it was subsequently found that several plates forward had been cracked. The Massa- chusetts was headed back into the harbor with considerable difficulty. accompanied by her sister vessel, the Indiana, and the gunboat Scorpion. She will remain here until Captain Manning, her commander, receives orders from Washington when, 1t is stated, she will proceed to Brooklyn to be dry-docked
 The squadron, under command of Rear Admiral Barker, which has been on this part of the coast engaged in war game, got under way shortly before noon today for Long Island sound. The Massachu- setts coupled position on the port quar- ter of the Texas as she proceeded from the harbor which brought her much nearer to Egg Rock than the other ships. It Is believed the accident was due to a miscalculation of her position on the part of the navigating officer. When the

 Her officers stated tonight that If she had been fifty feet to the westward she would have cleared thu ledge. The col lision signal was at once sounded and the Massachusetts bul,Shead doors wero closed tight. The Indiana and Scorpion, which were immediately behind her, ran alongside to render assistance and two torpedo boat destroyers were sent over by Admiral Barker to report on the ac- cident
 The channel at this point Is very mar row and it was no slight task to turn the ship in such a dense fog. With the assistance of one of the naval tugs this was finally achieved and at o'clock the Massachusetts was at anchor with the Indiana and Scorpion close alongside.
 Captain Manning stated that two div CTS examined the bottom of the vessel this afternoon and reported that several plates were cracked and that the ship would have to be drydocked for repairs. The Massachusetts tonight was down by the head about ten inches, but by morn Ing she will be very nearly on even keel, as her crew are hard at work tonight carrying aft ammunition and stores. It is stated she will be in natural trim when her orders are received to sail.

 "I am absolutely sure" answered the witness.
 Judbe Bonnet then addressed Romain, saying:
 "You are the object of formal iden- tification."
 sThat does not astonish me-" answered Romain. sarcastically.

SEABOARD VOW COVTROLLED

CONSOLIDATION BRINGS
 GENERAL SATISFACTION
Sudden Termination of FrscoSeaboard Deal Comes Sur prise to People of Birmingham but They are Pleased
 at the Prospect for Future Expansion

Of all the railroad deals affecting the Birmingham district. eonsummated in re- cent years, not one has been of such ab- sorbing interest here as the Frisco-Sea- board combination. The announcement that the Rock Island Frisco interests had acquired a control of the Seaboard Air Lire was received with marked satisfac- tion. The deal has two marked results. It binds the Rock Island-Frisco more closely to Birmingham, and the Seaboard is greatly strengthened financially.
 Just as soon as the Seapoard began to build into Birmingham it was believed that a consolidation of the Frisco and seaboard interests would eventually take place. The Frisco needed an outlet to the Atlantic and the Seaboard needed a close western and southwestern connec- tion. But the deal came earlier than was expected.
 The combined mileage of the Rock Is- land d-Frisco-Seaboard Is in round num- bers 2l,0OO miles. which makes the com bination the most stupendous railroad system in the world.

New Orleans, August 12.-There was an important development in the Batson case today. His attorneys. Messrs Som payrac and Overton. are to go to Baton Rouge tonight to lay before Governor Heard some new evidence which they say has been brought to light and which they consider it their duty to present The attorneys are very guarded in speak ing of the new evidence.
