ITS MERITS PRESENTED
Denied That It is Wall Street Meas
ure.
JAMES B. FORGAN'S ARGUMENT
Sentiment Among Senators Seems OPP
posed to Immediate Legislation
on the Subject.

The currency commission Of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association appeared before
the banking and currency committee of
the House today in support of the elastic
currency bill supported by the association.
James B. F'organ of the First National
Bank of Chicago and A. B. Hepburn Of the
Chase National Bank New York. were the
principal speakers.
Mr.. Forgan explained the bill to the
committee and devoted much time to a de-
NAL Of the charges that 1t is Wall street
measure. He said that the certified check
Is the currency used by Wall street, and
that the issuance Of additional bank notes
as proposed by the association will not re-
suit in extending additional credit to Wall
street interests.
Drain on the Banks.
AS an illustration Of the great drain
there Is on banks at crop-moving time,
Mr.. Forgan said that the bank with which
he is connected was called upon to ship
$500. COO to western banks during the first
seven days Of last September. He urged
the necessity for affording q more elastic
currency to meet such emergencies, and
explained that under the proposed bill
national bank with capital OF 300 900
Will be permitted to issue $4,000 worth
more OF bank notes upon which 1t shall pay
~ PcT cent, anu S1Z,OUU worth more OF
bank notes. upon which the rate of interest
shall be per cent
Representative Prince Of Illinois inquired
II the tendency Of such q measure will not
be to encourage banks to keep their notes
In circulation at 2h per cent rather than
pay higher rate than that on deposits,
but Mr.. Forgan replied that he did not
think such would be the case.
Winked at by Examiners.
Representative Gillespie of Texas asked
Mr.. Forgan If 1t is not true that national
banks include their bank notes in their re-
serve and thus limit the circulating
medium.
Mr.. Forgan replied that he regretted to
admit such is the case. and added that in
the hearings of the commission it developed
that in small cities, not in reserve cities.
the banks do not separate their paper
money for bank examiners, who merely
estimate how many bank notes there are
IN piles of bills and thus wink in a way at
the use of bank notes for reserve.
View Of Some Senators.
Currency legislation at the present ses-
sion OF Congress Is unlikely IL discussion
held today in the Senate committee on
finance may be taken as an indication The
committee spent considerable time in talk
ing Of the necessity Of currency legislation,
but did not have before it any of the sew
eral bills which have been advocated for
passage at this session. The sentiment. it
Is said, is opposed to the hurried passage
OF bill such as might result II a measure

LONDON, January 7.-The election ad-
dress of Sir Henry campbell-Bannerman
the premier, is wholly devoted to severe
indictment of the late governments
record and its policy on protection and to
refe4rlng the electors to his public declar-
alton on assuming office for an exposition
of his governments intended policy.
The pren1.er declares that the last
decade represents well nigh unbroken
expanse. of mismanagement and legisla-
ton continued for the benefit of privileged
classes. of wars and adventures abroad,
hastily embarked upon and recklessly
pursued. and that the legacy the union
lists bequeathed to their successors Is
in the main legacy OF embarrassment,
an accumulation OF public mischief. and
confusion absolutely appalling In It's en-
tent and ramfcations.
He declines to regard Mr.. Balfonrs FREQ
trade tenets as having moro than u
nominal place in the estimation of tho
majority of the Unionists. whose fiscal
reform policy lie holds is fraught with
incalculable mischief the nation and
the empire. He characterizes protection
as immoral and oppressive, based, as he
says 1t, must be. on the exploitation of the
community in the interest OF favored
trades and financial groups and de-
clared the policy Of his government will
be to hold fast to the time honored prin-
cple of Liberalism, peace. economy, self
government and civil and religious liberty,
and to pursue substantial continuity
of the foreign policy without departing
from the friendly and unprovocative
methods adhered to by previous Liberal
administrations.

THE RECITAL.
Misses Katie Murrell and Lima
RosenfieId Entertain a Large
Audience.

The recital given at the Lindsay Will
son Friday night by Misses Katie MUIR
rell and Lima Rosenfeld was enthuslas-
tically received by the Columbia people,
every number deserving the storm Of
applause which it received.
Miss Murrell bore herself with de-
gree of composure remarkable for one
of her experience. She has only stud
led expression about one and half
years, but her Interpretation of her
readings was indeed fine.
Her program consisted of a variety
of numbers which were distinct in
style, showing Miss MurrelPs wonder
full versatility as reader. ''Mariah's
Mo'nm' fine characterization of the
old time negress, was rendered so nat
urally as to captivate all. The control
she has over her voice was evinced in
Drifting" the beautiful poem by
Thomas Buchanan Reed. Miss Rosen-
field played a soft accompaniment
which added much to. it's enjoyment.
Her ability as an artist was more
clearly shown in Eugene Aram's Dream
than in any other. The heavy tragedy
is SO often overdone by young readers,
but Miss Murrell handled it faultlessly.
In her short numbers she was very
pleasing.
When she had finished her last num-
ber-a bright monologue, everybody
was loud in their praise of Miss Katie's
talents.
Miss Rosenfield also did herself proud,
showing marked ability as pianist.
Her numbers were rare treats. Her
Interpretation and technique were es.
pecially fine. ''Murmuring Zephyrs, "
by Jensen, was handled with delicacy
of touch and with much feeling. Trau-
merle, which is one of the most soul
feeling pieces, was rendered next, and
was played in a most pleasing manner.
Her two heavy numbers, the "Hunga-
rian Dance by Brahms, and Ara
besque, by Chaminade, she gave in a
manner which exhibits her skill and
ability as an artist. Miss Rosenfield
should be Justly proud of her first Reel.
tai, she having devoted only few
months to the study of technique and
Interpretation.
The proficiency of these two young
ladies is due to the instructions they
have received from their respective
teachers-Miss Jean Duncan, who has
charge of the elocution department il
the Lindsay Wilson, and Miss Hattie
Penland, who is the principal of the
music department. They are thorough
in their respective callings and are per
fectly devoted to their pupils.
