Attorney General McCue has just

cision rendered by the attorney gem

rendered by the supreme court which
renders that clause Of the 1905 law,

Considering the decision of the court
the attorney general holds that that
decision also applies to the new law,
and that the same clause of the new
law is unconstitutional, as well as

TABLED
House Banking Committee
Sits on the VreeIand
Currency Bill
Conference, However, Seems
Determined to Push
Il Through

Washington, D. c.. May 4.-Know-
ing the fact that the committee on
banking and currency today voted to
table the new Vreeland currency bill
4 the impression prevails among many
members that that measure will be
adopted at conference of Republi-
can members of the house to be held
tonight. The vote of the committee
by which the Vreeland bill was tabl-
ed was 10 to 8. Messrs. Weeks, Bur-
ton and Mckinney voted in the mega
tive.
The committee adopted a resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Waldo of New
York, requesting that suitable time
be given, a week If possible, for dis
cussion in the house of all the pend
ing currency measures. Chairman
Fowler was authorized to lay this re-
quest before Speaker Cannon.
During the afternoon strong efforts
were made to reach compromise
and a proposition advocated some
time ago by the Republican floor
leader, Mr. Payne, was taken up by
Chairman Fowler and other mem
bers of the committee as a basis for
an agreement.
=
tional banking association which has
circulating notes outstanding, secur-
ed by deposit of U. S. bands to an
amount equal to it's capital stock ac-
tually paid in, to take out additional
circulation upon depositing United
States bonds or certificates of indeb-
tedness authorized during the Span
ish war.
The proposition was acceptable to
some house leaders and also to MEM
bers of the banking and currency
committee. 1t was at first thought
that by offering the proposition as
an amendment to the Fowler curren-
cy commission bill the conference
which had been called for tonight
could be obviated.
When the plan was laid before
Speaker Cannon, together with the
request of the committee for a week S
debate, he informed Chairman Fow-
Ter that he had no authority to call
Oft the conference or to grant the
time for debate asked for. He stated
that more than sufficient number
of Republicans had signed the call
for the conference to determine what
measures should be decided upon
He gave it as his opinion that mem
bers would not caresto stay here an
additional week listening to a finan-
cial discussion.
When the decision of the speaker
became known members of the bank
ing and currency committee held
numerous conferences and 1t was de.
cided that the Payne proposition, as
an addenda to the currency commits,
sion bill should be offered at the
conference of the Republican mem
bers tonight.
