WILL NOT HURRY REFORM.
AIdrIch Says Senate Will Take Its
Time on Financial Leuislation,

AIdrIch Says Senate Will Take Its
Time on Financial Legislation.
Washington, Dec. 3. - There is a
hitch in the administration program
for prompt action to secure financial
legislation. Speaker Cannon adheres
to his plan for the immediate appoint
ment of the committee on banking
and currency, but the response which
was expected to be forthcoming from
the Republican leaders in the senate
with the bill to correct defects in the
financial policy of the nation promises
not to be forthcoming. Advices to
that effect came from Senator AID
rich, chairman of the finance commit.
tee of the senate.
Mr.. Aldrich takes view Of the sit
uation entirely different from that en-
tertained by leaders Of the administra-
ton and those members of the house
who have sought to start an early
program for action.
Sees No Need for Haste.
According to Senator Aldrich it will
be impossible to start action by the
senate before the holidays, and per-
haps not for some time thereafter.
The senator believes that the none
tary stress is about over, and that
cash payments soon will be resumed
everywhere under conditions that will
demonstrate that it has been want of
confidence rather than want of great
er volume of currency that has caused
the trouble. In fact, Senator Aid
rich insists that before the winter is
over there will be an immense over
supply of currency, due to the stop
page Of Industrial operations and gen.
eral curtailing of business on account
of the money tightness.
This will leave large supply of
currency in the banks, which supply
has been greatly augmented by the
operations of the treasury and the
banks during the last few weeks.
Senate Will Wait.
For these reasons Senator Aldrich
does not believe there should be haste
in passing legislation to provide for
emergency currency issues. He will
not indicate what he has in mind in
the way of corrective legislation and
he denies that he has prepared any
bill on the subject. He says nothing
will be done until the finance commit
tee is organized, as it must be, by the
filing of vacancies.
The close of the last week found a
confident feeling prevailing in bank
ing circles and at the treasury that
the financial situation of the country
will soon resume its normal state.

CONSPIRACY ALLEGED BY DE-.
TEcrlvE CHIEF IN WALKER
MURDER CASE.
TAKES CHARGE OF OPERATIONS
MURDERED MAN WAS CLOSE
FRIEND OF HEAD OF SECRET
SERVICE.

Denver, Dec. 1.-The visit to Colo
RADIO of John E. Wilkie, chief of the
federal secret service, may be the sig.
nal for additional arrests for the muir.
der of Joseph A. Walker near Duran.
60.
While no official intimation is given
of the sudden visit to Denver of the
chief, coming directly on the re.
ceipt of evidence from Durango of a
conspiracy to murder Walker, it is be.
lieved to indicate nothing else than
early action on the part of the gov
eminent against prominent citizens of
La Plata county on a charge of con-
spiracy.
Takes Personal Charge.
Mr.. Wilkie is in Denver to confer
with Lucien c. Wheeler, special agent
in charge of the Walker investiga-
ton. and it is believed for the particu-
lar purpose of going over the evidence
which has been gathered by the secret
service men against other parties
than Mason and Vanderweide, the
two men now under arrest for killing
Walker.
Chief Wilkie is personally interest
ed in bringing to justice Walkers
slayers, the murdered man having
been close friend of the head of the
department.
After Men "Higher Up"
Chief Wikie after a conference with
Wheeler and District Attorney Gran
ston said that he was we'll satisfied
with the work which had been done
on the Walker case. And this also
bears out the opinion that the visit of
Chief Wilkie portends early action
against every one who may have been
even remotely responsible for the
death of the special agent. Never for
a moment has there been the slight
est let-up by the secret service men
In their search for evidence, and their
disclosures have been such that per-
sonal inspection by the chief was
deemed necessary before final action
was taken against the men "higher
up"

BURNS AND SQUlRES
HOOKED UP At LAST

If the car strike is settled by
then, Bill Squires and Tommy
Burns will fight at Ocean Park, San
Francisco, where Jimmy Coffroth is
building his arena, on May 80. Jim
Jeffries was proposed as referee
and nominated. For his work JEFF
fries will receive $1,000, to which
fee the fighters will contribute a
portion.
There can be no question but
what Jeffries will find it a snap to
name the winner, for the route is
t45 rounds. There will be an end
ling before the limit is reached.
In the event that the strike holds
|. out until the end of the month,

right now Burns came out of his
fight without scratch to speak of.
How could he have been hurt when

rounds?
To bring Burns to terms Coffroth
was compelled to guarantee Burns
$4,000, win, lose or draw. Squires
lights on a percentage basis.

WHAT'S the Matter?

Some teams are just naturally
lucky and then some teams have
more nerve than others. Most of
the Is games lost by the Vancouver
team were lost by a narrow margin
The fans are at loss to account
for this and charge it to i'll luck. On
paper the team looks good enough,
and it is good enough to judge by
the close scores in which it partici-
pates. When all things are consd-
cred, and no good cause can be
found for the continual losing. it
must be charged to a lack of nerve
Individually and collectively, the
team must lack nerve or a sensa-
ton of some kind would be sprung
once and awhile. They just con-
tinue to lose, but still play a fairly
good ayicle Of baseball.
