The police are inclined to accept this
explanation. but in searching Ferree'

ed between Ferree and Mrs. Detsch and
some suggestive photographs. When
the wife was confronted with these she
confessed that she had been guilty o.
misconduct with Ferree and that ne.
husband had learned Of II the day pc

charged Detsch with murder on the
theory that he caused his wife 10 lure

The central idea, the speaker said, OF
Secretary Chase's measure was the es-

sound, uniform circulation Of equal value
throughout the country. upon the foun-
dalton Of a national credit combined with
private capital. Such a cure. il Is be-
lieved can he secured through banking
associations organized under national leg
islation."
Mr.. Treat continued to quote from Sec
rotary Chase's reports. showing that the
father of the system had foreseen every
Objectionable circumstance that mas
arisen, and had declared that other gem
erations would find it necessary to recon-
slider certain phases of the plan. Mr.
Treat then continued:
THE question today is this: whether
n Secretary Chase's plan OF bonded
security currency has accomplished so
much and if the masses of the people are
81 content with 1t that it floats at par
IN almost all Of the great financial coun-
tries of the world, we should not develop
and perfect their statement as he foresaw
it would meet the increasing growth or
our commerce and industries for so years
to come.
II believe that the national banking
system possesses all the elements that
are required in the banking system of
people who are users of money and credit
on so extensive a scale as our own.
There is before Congress today bill:
introduced by the chairman of the finance
committee of the United States Senate
which provides for an emergency issue
of currency to stay panics or to be used
in times of panic. This anticipates the
future. What think is needed is a sup
Elemental currency not too highly taxed
but obtainable at a moderate rate OF In
terest that shall be used for about six
months in the year with compulsory re-
tirement. After serving its purpose ev-
ey autumn, in moving the crops and the
output of orr factories. this supplemental
cure should be retired and could then be
reissued the following autumn. I main
tain that all issues of n supplemental
cure should have a definite time for re-
tirement. otherwise it would produce a
permanent imitation.
Turning to discussion of the Aldrich
BILL Mr.. Treat said that the President
opposed a tax rate Of per cent. as too
high. He said:
The governments purpose should not
be to make money out of the people but
to furnish ii with currency. 1t should
only charge the cost of issuing. redeem
