REPORT IS ADOPTED
Bankers Vote to Continue Credit Currency Com
 mission.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept 26-The report of the currency commission appointed last year was made to-day to the convention of the American Bankers association, now in session in this city. The report recommends a measure, introduced in the last ses- sion of congress known as the credit currency bill. The provisions of the proposed act were made known to the convention by A. B. Hepburn, of New York, chairman of the commits sion. The report was adopted and the commission was continued and it's powers enlarged.
 An attack upon the plan of the commission was made by a number of western delegates, who contended that the primary cause of money shortage in the United States was due to overspeculation, and that the credit currency plan pointed back ward to eighteenth century fiatism. Congressman Charles N. Fowler, of New Jersey, chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, replied in stirring speech.
