WANT UNCLE SAM
TO ACT QUICKLY
Congo Reform Association Fears For
NAL Annexation of Free State
by BeIgium-Asks Sem
ate to Act
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-The Record-Her-
aid today says: Fearful that the Con-
go Free state has been annexed for
mafly by Belgium, leaders of the Con-
go Reform association rushed to Wash
ington last night prepared to urge i'm
mediate action by the United States.
Herbert S. Johnson. leader in the
propaganda which would free the Afri-
can interior from the sway of Leopold,
received a telegram last night sum-
moning him to Washington.
He depapted for the capital at IL
o'clock and said just prior to leaving
that it had been decided to urge with
the utmost pressure that the senate
take definite action before the holiday
adjournment.
The telegram to Mr.. Johnson was
from Rev. DR.. Thomas S. Barber, head
of the Baptist missions in Africa, and
the commissioner general of the Congo
Reform association in America.
The telegram stated that advices by
cable from Brussels indicated that Bel
GUM had. through its parliament, for
mally assumed sovereignty over the
Congo Free State pending the closing
up of the formalities between King
Leopold as personal proprietor and in
ternational landlord and the represen
tatives OF the Belgian government.
The fact about the transaction which
has so stirred up the interested leaders
is that the deal is to be cOnsummated
far ahead of the death of King Leo
pold and the terms of the will of the
king, which were formally ratified by
Belgium several days since, are to be-
come effective at once.

WILL RECOMMEND
CREDIT CURRENCY
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency Will Authorize Favorable
Report on New System of
Stretching Money
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The house
committee on banking and currency
decided today to make favorable re-
port on the credit currency bill, which
is but slightly different from the meas
ure advocated by the American Bank
ers association. Ten Republicans at
tended the committee meeting today
and all supported the measure agreed
on while the four Democrats present
opposed it, The four Democrats in
attendance were Representatives, Glass
of Virginia, Lewis of Georgia, Giles
pie of Texas and Legare of South
Carolina.
In the bill advocated by the bankers
1T was provided that a tax of 2h per
cent should be paid by national banks
on credit currency equal to 20 per cent
of their capital. The committee lit
creased the tax on such bank notes
to per cent. No change was made in
the provision that the national banks
may also take out further amount of
national bank guarantee credit notes
equal to 121a per cent of it's capital
with interest at the rate of 5 per cent.
Another change of Importance made
by the committee Is one providing that
national banking associations, desiring
to take out credit notes and having
notes outstanding in excess of 621s per
cent of their paid up capital, may re-
deem such excess without reference to
the limitation of $S,OO0OOO a month pre-
scribed by the act of July 12, 1882.
The bill as reported extends the pri-
vilege of issuing credit currency only to
national banking institutions which
have been in business for one year and
have a surplus equal to 20 per cent of
their capital. The national bank guar
anteed credit notes authorized by the
bill may be taken out for issue without
a deposit of United States bonds as
| now required by law The notes will
be of form and dimensions designated
by the comptroller of the currency.
If the measure be passed as reported
by the house committee, every national
bank meeting the requirements of the
bill will be permitted to issue emer-
| gency or credit currency in the sum of
$37,50O for every 100000 of it's capital.
1t is maintained by the supporters of
| the bill that it will afford sufficient
elasticity in the currency to remove
the pressure for money which occurs at
crop moving time and in great emer-
gencies.
Bankers estimate the amount of addi-
| tinoal currency which the measure
would afford at $2OO,OOO,O0O.
