HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Little Progress Made i'm Considering
the Hill Financial Bill

Washington. December 15.-Discus-
sion of the bill Ito improve currency
conditions was resumed in the House
today, but through the session it's adj
vancement was beset, with obstruc-
tive tactics BY the Democrats, led by
Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi, minority
leader. TIL Democrats mustered suffi-
cient strength to force Speaker Can
non to break a tie in order that the bill
might be taken up, the Democrats as
sumiD- their attitude of antagonism be-
fore the author, Mr.. Hill, of Connecti-
cut, in charge of the bill, refused to
postpone it's further consideration in
of the illness of Bartlett,
OF Georgia, leader of the opposition.
Little progress was made on the meas
ure.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Williams requiring the payment of in
terests by banks on amounts deposited
by the government and limiting the
amount to be deposited in any one bank
bidding in competition for the anne.
In favoring the amendment, Mr..
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, said that "if
adopted it would prevent political ia
vorites from getting hold of the depos-
u.s.. NEW 1oTh DdIlheTS, lie uSCidISu
had demanded the deposits as a reward
for political services rendered by their
officers.
Mr.. Hiss opposing the amendment
said that. the bill was an administrative
one, by which the government was per-
mitted to handle it's none in exactly
the same way as an individual would
apply to himself.
This statement caused Mr.. Cochran,
of New York, to remark that for this
reason he would support the amend
ment, because the government had not
the right to offer a bank one penny less
interest than the bank could get in the
open market.
Mr.. Williams cited a case of favorit-
ism that came under his observation.
He asserted that the money should go
to those parts of the country engaged
in productive enterprises IND not to the
sections where there "a gambling in
wheat and corn.
A protracted debate regarding inter-
est rates on money followed at the end
of which the bill was laid aside and the
House adjourned until tomorrow.

WHAT BROTHERHOOD MEANS.
Address of President Roosevelt at His
Church Prayer Meeting Last Night.

Wishington, December 15.-President
Roosevelt attended the prayer meeting
at the Grace Reformed church of which
he is a member tonight and at the con-
clusion OF the service he made a short
address to the large congregation ard
held an informal reception, shaking
hands with all the members of the
church and Sum-! School. The Pres
ident said in part:
Il think that anv man who takes an
interest in this great country of ours
must realize that the one all important
necessity of our school, industrial and
political life is the necessity Of the
realization of what brotherhood al
We cannot develop our civilization at
all unless We develop it upon the basis
of each recognizing in his fe1owman
his brother. whose interest he must
have at heart. No scheme of 1egisla-
ton. no kind Of administration of the
government viii atone for the lack of
the fundamental quality of each beng
in very deed his brothers keeper. Three
fourths, probably nine-tenths, OF the
troubles that sometimes assume
so ominous a form would vanish IL you
could interest the people on each side
to approach the matter in the spirit Of
each striving to car for his How as
he cares for himself"
