SECY. SHAW ADVISED
IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS

New York, Jan. 6.-The Tribune to.
day says:
AS a sequel TO Jacob II. schiM's pan.
ic speech at the chamber OF commerce
on Thursday. in which he said that he
had tried In vain TO induce Secy, Shaw
10 come to the aid of the financial sit
uation here, II developed yesterday that
the secretary was advised In opposite
directions by two powerful sets OF fin
anciers here One group. headed by
the National city bank, OF which James
Stillman is president, and which has
close financial relations with the Rock
efellers Kuhn. Loeb & Co., and T.. II.
Hartman, tried many means to have
the secretary deposit government funds
here. The other. including the First
National of which George r. Baker Is
president. and which has James j. Hill
in it's directorte the Chase National,
whose president IL A. b. Hepburn the
Liberty National and the Rock Island
group OF capitalists. came out squarely
for home rule
The National group had the backing
OF bankers In other large cities who
said that the commercial interests
were no, suffering and the government
should not feel called upon to help
out lot Of Wall street Spectators.
Secy. Shaw took this coruse, and In
view Of the easier rates yesterday. rep
resentatives OF the First National group
said they thought they had been en-
tirely vindicated.
A. Barton Hepburn, president OF the
Chase National bank, and former comp
troller of the currency, criticised Mr.,
Schlif's plan as being impracticable and
unsafe.
Certainly something has to be done"
he added. we have no Government
bank to fall back on. and some way
Of improving present conditions must
be found.
When Jacob II. schff was Informed
that his plan has been criticised as i'm.
practicable, he said that perhaps he
had not made himself thoroughly un.
derstood.
He said he had no idea OF trying TO
innate the currency by Issuing paper
money against the commercial paper
already In the banks, but his idea was
merely to make more secure the plan
already advocated by secy. Shaw.
Mr.. Shaw's plan, he said. was a pro-
posal TO let each national bank issue
30 per cent more currency than Il nov
Issued without any security whatever.
Mr., Schlr said he merely wished 10
have that extra 50 per cent of curren-
cy secured by the commercial paper in
the banks.
Mr.. Schlf added that he would not
try to work out the details of fine
general plan he had In mind, but he
reiterated that unless some sound
scheme OF stretching the currency IN
times Of need we're found by the ma
tional government the next panic
would be n disaster-worse than the
United States ever before experienced.
