UNDERWOOD AFTER
 SUB-TREASURY Strong Will Be Made .Sss:sS. or Birmingham DEPOSITS FOR ALABAMA
Senator Johnston Urges Upon secre- tary Cortelyou the AdvisabiIty of Depositing Money To Aid
 in Moving Cotton Crop.

Washington, December 4--(SpeeiaI J. Among the bills which will be introduced tomorrow is one by Representative In derwood of Alabama, to establish d sub treasury at Birmingham. Mir. Underwood stated that he was still firmly convinced that the southeastern states were in need of Q sub-treasury and that the present financial complication had demonstrated the importance of having the government reserve vaults in close contact with the inoney centers. One Of the great advan- tages was in the fact that in cities nav ing b-treasuries, balances could be moved from one bank to the other by depositing the money in the treasury or sub treasury of the United States at one point and directing by telegram that it should be- paid out at another point, which makes it's transfer almost im- mediate.
 Mr. Underwood believes that if the rep resentatives from the southeastern states could reach an agreement, 1t would be possible to get a sub-treasury established in the south. and he believes that if one is established there is a strong prob ability that it will come to Birmingham The last Congress would have given the sub-treasury to Birmingham had it not been for the action of the Georgia dele gation.
 Senator Johnston of Alabama had a conference with the Secretary of the Treasury today and urged him to make as large deposits as possible in Alabama banks in order to relieve the financial stringency and assist in the movement of the cotton crop. Senator Johnston found the secretary very favorably dis posed and believes the matter will be arranged satisfactorily to all Alabama bankers within q few days
 With reference to the nomination of Judge Oscar R. Hundley Senator Johnston said today that up to this time no obJee- tion had been made to his confirmation and unless some substantial charges should be filed he would not oppose his confirmation, but would be in favor of acting upon it without delay. Judge Hundley's nomination is now before the judiciary committee. It will be fully a week before the vacancies on that com mittee are filled and it is organized for business.
