THE ALDRicH BILL
Amended BY Committee BY EIiminat-
ing Railroad Bond Feature.

Washington. March 1.-THE Scnat
committee on finance today voted
unanimously to amend the Aldrich fl
nancial bill by eliminating railroad
bonds as security for national bank
note circulation. 1t also was decided to
amerd the bill so as to retain the pro-
vision of the present law prohibiting
the retirement by national banks of
more than 100000 of circulation in
any one month. The committee dis
,cussed the proposition of increasing
the taxation emergency circulation
outstanding more than six months. The
rate under the bill as it now stands is
6 per cent. No action was taken on this
feature.
The amendments were reported to the
Senate today by Mr.. Aldrich. who said
that the action of the committee had
been unanimous. He said:
The committee believe when the bill
ives reported and now believes that it
is desirable to have these emergency
notes as large an amount as possible of
available security. But the committee
finds that issues are raised in regard

ton between the public and the proper
treatment of railroad stocks and bonds
and under all circumstances the COM

ate to strike out these provisions in
respect to railroad bonds
Senaor Nelson. (Minn.). inquired
whether airy amendment had been Of
fered by the committee in relation to
banking reserves.
No" replied Mr.. Aldrich. "the COM
uittcc has that under consideration
and will report on 1t in very short
time"
AZ amendment was also agreed tc
affecting the amount Of circulation
which may be taken out on bonds of
the various kinds applicable for such
purpose. The bill provides that circu-
lating notes may be issued equal in
amoult to 90 per cent. of the market
va,ro Of any bonds deposited.
The amendment adopted today. adds
the provision that the issuance shall not
be in excess. however. Of the par val

Insect Pests on Pot Plants.

The aphis and other insect pests
which are so troublesome on pot plants
in winter can be to utter rout by the
following simple plan:
Place the infested plants in any
large wooden or tin box that is pro-
vided with a tight-fitting lid, as, for
instance. common tin wash boiler.
Put a live coal or two on a flower pot
saucer in the bottom of the box and
sprinkle some finely cut tobacco on the
Goals. Shut the lid quickly and
securely, SO as to retain all the fumes
of the burning tobacco. Leave plants
for fifteen minutes, and every insect
will be dead.
Care must be taken not to burn too
much tobacco or the heat will injure
the plants.
