COMMITTEE ON BANKING
Speaker Provides Resting

To Remedy Financial Situa-
ton and Reform Currency,
ms, Morning Journal Special Leased wirsI


Washington. Dec. 3.--The annual
message of President Roosevelt was
read today I'm both houses OF congress,
and practically no business was at
tempted by either body, except the
listening to the message. The CALLER
les OF both the senate and house were
crowded at the beginning of the ses-
sion of each body. but as the reading
progressed the attendance diminished
somewhat. In the main. however. II
was well maintained until the last
sentences of the document had fallen
from the lips OF the official readers
Senators and members were supplied
with printed copies of the message,
and many of them followed the read
ing clerks with scrupulous care. The
reading consumed about two and a
quarter hours I'm each of the houses
The house did not today follow up the
lead of yesterday in the matter of in
PRODUCTION of many bills, but some
measures were presented In the sem
ate so far no bills have been intro
duced but there is scarcely a senator
whose desk is not well covered with
these documents. and II Is probable
that the flood will break out I'm that
body tomorrow.
Speaker Cannon treated the house
to a surprise i'm announcing the men,
bership of the committee on banking
and currency This advance forma-
tion Of that committee led to the con-
clusion on the part of many that 1t
was his intention TO press financial
legislation, but those who are close to
the speaker say his only purpose was
to afford a depository for petitions
and letters bearing upon the currency
question. The membership Of the
committee was increased by the addi-
ton of one democrat. making seven
members OF that party on il, instead
of six, as during the fifty-ninth con-
gress. This is in accordance with the
request of Minority Leader Williams,
but II is said that it is not 10 be
taken as an indication that this re-
quest will be complied with in all 9TH
er committees.
Both the house and senate adjourn
ed almost Immediately after the con-
clusion of the reading Of the message.
The house adjourned until Thursday.
when it is probable that IL will again
adjourn for the week.
Mr.. Gore and Mr.. owen, the two
chosen by primary election
to represent the new state OF okla
homa in the senate. appeared on the
floor of the senate and occupied the
seats set apart for them for some
time, listening to the presidents mes
sage. This was a plain extension OF
what is known as senatorial courtesy
inasmuch as neither senator has as
yet been legally elected to serve In
the senate
