riman road charged the commit
tee with demanding rebates in
violation of the law and declared
that nothing would induce his
client to violate the law even to
oblige Uncle Sam. However,
there is every indication that
Congress will strike about $500, =
600 from the company's bill, even
though 1t be obliged to enact a
suspension of the interstate COM
merce law for this particular oc-
casion.
In spite of the efforts that have
been made in his behalf, it is
perfectly obvious that Rear Ad-
miral Evans will not receive the
rank and title of vice-admiral at
this session of Congress. Sena-
tor Hale is opposed to granting
this recognition to Admiral Evans
at this time, though it may be
done after the Admiral is placed
on the retired list. In view of
this opposition it is believed that
even though the House were to
pass such a bill it would be al
lowed to slumber in the Senate
committee, consequently there is
little likelihood that any action
will be taken by the House COM
mittee, in spite of the earnest
efforts of Representative Kenne-
dy who introduced a bill along
these lines.
Hearings on the Aldrich bill
by the House Banking and Cur
rency committee began on April
3 and will continue for one week.
In the House and in the commit
tee strong opposition has devel-
oped to the amendment put in
bill by Senator La Toilette, pro-
hibiting any national bank from
investing it's funds in stocks of a
corporation, the officers of which
are officers or directors of the
bank. This is looked upon as a
hardship to the many banks in
the smaller towns, where the
bank directors are generally in
terested in every local enter
prise.
The Chief Cf the Secret Ser
vice Bureau in Washington has
issued a circular warning busi-
ness men against two counter
feits, one a $40 United States
note of the Buffalo" design,
and the other a $40 gold certifi-
cate of the series of 1906. These
bills were taken from two ne
groes at Cape Girardeau, Mo.
The counterfeits are very badly
executed photographs, hand COL
ored, and the general character
of the workmanship is so poor
that it is believed the negroes
may have made the notes them
selves.
Speaker Cannon has succeeded
in arousing some interest in con-
gressional circles by introducing
a resolution, in his capacity as a
member of the House, directing
the Department of Commerce and
Labor to report to the House
what investigation, if any, it has
made into the business of the In
tenational Paper Company or
other combinations engaged in
the manufacture of wood pulp
and print papers; and also di-
recting the Department of JUS
tice to report what steps, if any,
have been taken looking to the
prosecution of these corpora
tons for their alleged violations
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Various reasons are assigned for
the action of the Speaker in in
PRODUCING this resolution at this
particular time, some claiming
that. it is merely a ''grand-stand
play" on the part of the willy
Speaker. The concensus of o.
pinion is that it is politics and
not an ardent desire to carry out
the wishes of the President that
