Boston, Jan 17.-Charles " Fowler,
chairman of the house committee on
banking and currency. In an address here
last night, predicted disaster to the ma
tional banks OF the country In the event
vi a war with any leading power.
THE national banks now own about all
OF the 2 per cent bonds, including the
Panamas or about $700, 900, ,000." said Mr..
Fowler To the commercial club, before
which he spoke.
Suppose we should have a grcat war
a war calling for an issue OF bonds ag-
gregating $1,000. 100000 or $4,000, 600 900, the
rate would possibly reach 5 per cent. At
such rate. the 2s would sell for what?
Seventy, 65 or possibly 90; resulting I'm a
loss to the banks ranging from $685. 100000
TO $3.50 100000. How many banks could
stand their share OF II without failurey
The same mishap might possibly occur
on some other bonds"
Mr. Fowler urged strongly the need OF
reform In the currency system and said:
There is no consistency or uniformity
in American banking as a whole. Too 1T
tie is actually known about the condition
OF our banking business. The situation
has already become appalling and de-
mands "a uniform banking system with
uniform reserve in gold coin. This result
Will be secured by the bill now under
consideration by the committee on bank
ing ana currency.
ITO economically and adequately pro-
vide for the production, transportation
and sale of such "a vast amount OF mer-
chandse as we are producing annually,
we should have simple and scientic
monetary system, consisting of gold for
our bank reserves-having converted our
United States notes into gold certihcates
bank credit currency redeemed In gold,
for our larger bills, providing the true
medium OF cash exchanges, and silver for
our smaller bills and subsidiary coins.
There is more than enough or both
gold and silver in this country II placed
where they properly belong to meet the
requirement of each. This end will be ac-
compnshed by the measure now before
the house committee and we shall then
be on equal footing with the rest OF the
world in this respect.
1--WE should have system OF current
banks credits that Will always with an-
erring certainty come into existence with
transactions precisely as checks
and drafts do, and disappear when they
are no longer needed. That this most de-
sired end will be achieved by the adop-
ton of the measure now pending before
the house committee no one has yet un-
to deny. /

HUGHES FRIENDS make
STRONG FIGHT FOR HIM

structed delegation~to the Republican ma
tional convention for Governor Hughes.
The members of the committee who
favor Governor Hughes and those who
are opposed TO him carried on the dis
cussion for hours, and In all the speeches
heard II was made clear that the one
issue which the committee felt confront
ed itself was as TO whether ii should
indorse Hughes or Secretary Taft.
Only one vote was taken during the
evening, and that vote showed that Mr..
Parsons has not such absolute control
of the committee as his supporters had
claimed for him. He and his friends
have asserted that Mr.. Parsons could at
any time and on any question obtain n
majority OF anywhere from $50 to 200
members in the committee.
In the vote taken last night Mr.. Parsons
got only a majority of so and the pre-
diction was freely made at the close of
the meeting that even this comparatively
small majority will be cut to practically
nothing IL al the next meeting OF the
committee Mr.. Parsons persists in en-
deavoring to oppose the Endorsement Of
Governor Hughes by the local organiza-
ton
One of the features of the roll call was
that it showed that in more than half of
the assembly districts in this city the
members OF the district organization are
divided on the question.

queathed to us-a cathedral site second

NOT CONSIDERED
SUPERINTENDENT ROBINSON OF
PACIFIC TELEPHONE co. SAYS
HIS COMPANY rs TOO BUSY TO
HEED RIVALS.

'We are not waging a war against
the Nez Perce Telephone company
in this territory. In fact, we are not
in position to be very active for
new business in any territory, as we
are not able to supply the demands
for telephones that come to us with
out solicitation. said G. P. Robin
son, general superintendent of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, who is a business visitor
in the city, accompanied by Division
superintendent Charles w. Reynolds
of Spokane.
Mr.. Robinson maintains head
quarters in San Francisco and has
been on tour of inspection for the
past five weeks. He expects to re-
main in the field for about three
weeks, by which time most of the
important offices north of San Fran
cisco VII have been visited.
THE fact is that the telephone
business is growing very rapidly in
all of the territory where our system
extends, and at the present time
there are 1900 applications for serv-
ice in Spokane that we cannot serve
because of the inability to secure the
necessary equipment. Other com
panies are experiencing the same
growth Of business, and the comr
panies that manufacture telephone
supplies are swamped with orders.
1--WE have driven over the city to-
day and over Charleston and find al
features of the service here in good
condition. Lewiston and Charleston
have the same system that is in use
in San Francisco, and as the bust.
ness increases the system will be en-.
larged."
Mr.. Robinson was asked what eff
feet the coming of the Interstate
company would have upon the Lew
iston business and he does not pre-
dict a serious embarrassment to his
company's interests by the coming
fany other system. He explained
that the operations of competitive
companies in this territory had no
been considered of sufficient. impor
| tance to be a matter for considera
tion at the San Francisco Office, ant
whatever had been done was by th
Spokane Office, where all minor mat
ters were disposed Of
This is the first visit Mr.. Robin
son has made to Lewiston, but it
probable regular tours into this sec
tion will be made in the future.
