rangements at Union Station.
notwithstanding the new Union station
Is yet in the hands of the mechanics and
will not be completed for several months,
the travellers have found in the building
many improvements as regard former
depot conditions. But 1t is alleged that much
opposition has developed among the rail-
road employees as to the present arrange
ments for lodging rooms, which are said
to be conducted under the management OF
the Y NJ c. A. Under the old arrange
ment the railroad companies maintained
in the depots rooms for the trainmen In
which they could sleep or otherwise spend
the hours between their tours of duty,
the books papers and games necessary
for recreation being furnished by the rail-
road companies.
Owing to the alleged objections it is said
but few OF the railroaders are patronizing
the rooms provided in the new Union sta
ton. because Of the conditions imposed.
There are about go men affected. and
they say that while the rooms provided
for them are comfortable, they are ex-
pected to provide themselves with men,
bership tickets Of the Y. NJ. C. A. at a
cost of SIS per year. and also to pay fees
for the use Of beds. lockers, etc, and for
the playing Of games.
In the meantime the railroad men are
said to be showing their disapproval of
the present arrangement by establishing
colonies In nearby rooms. and the duties
of the call boys of. the several companies
have been largely increased. The men say
they would prefer to be chartered In the

OWEN OFTEN QUESTIONED
ALDRICH BILL DISCUSSED By
OKLAHOMA SENATOR.
Speech Enlivened by Controversial
Tilts-Galleries Applaud So as
to Call for Reproef.

A running debate. frequently enlivened
by controversial tits. accompanied the
delivery in the Senate yesterday afternoon
of comprehensive speech upon the pend
ing currency bill by Senator Robert L.
Owen OF Oklahoma.
During the first portion of his address
Mr.. Owen laid stress upon his connection
with an emergency currency provision of
which he was the author and which for
uner Senator Jones introduced in the Sen
ate in 1900. If that bill had been adopt
ed" he said, 1.-The recent panic might
have been prevented He added that
the same senator was then. as now, the
chairman Of the committee on finance
and could have secured the adoption Of the
legislation then had he recognized It's i'm
portance. When he had finished his ar
ralgnment OF the Sc nate for not having
acted eight years ago he paused, and look
ing at Senator Aldrich. said:
Il wish 1t to be Ut derstood that do not
object to being Interrupted in my remarks
Mr.. Aldrich smiled and the senator pro-
seeded with his speech.
Senator Smith Of Michigan cited, in re-
ply to statements in favor of a govern
nent guarantee. of deposits in national
banks. that that experiment had been
tried in New York and found wanting
from 1880 to 1916.
Oo We nave 10 go back to 1880, to the
days OF our grandfathers. to tell us we
ehall not avail ourselves of modern an
pliances?" retorted Mr.. Owen.
I Senator Flint engaged in q controversy
with the Oklahoma senator on the SUBJ
sect OF the distribution of emergency cur
rency among the several states and
against the proposition for an unlimited
amount OF such currency.
Mr.. Owen replied that the rate of in
ferest would bring the currency back to
the Treasury as soon as the emergency
was passed and there was no danger Of
undue currency imitation.
Mr.. Aldrich entered into an exchange of
words with Mr.. Owen as to reasons WHY
the bill under consideration did not per
init the use of government bonds as a.
basis for emergency currency, and said
that such bonds are used for national
bank circulation. He added that only 81
per cent of such possible circulation is
now taken out, leaving q considera BILE
amount that may be had by the banks
Upon the close of Mr.. Aldrichs statement
Mr.. Owen tersely replied:
The explanation is insufficient"
The galleries joined in applause when
Mr.. Owen. responding to q question of
Senator Hopkins about the loaning of
bank funds for speculative purposes,
quickly replied: THE question embraces a
multitude Of immaterial matters" and
proceeded to explain his position.
The Vice President admonished tie
audience I'm the galleries that the rules
OF the Senate did not permit applause.

Honorary Degrees.
COLORADO

With scarcely an exception. those
who have received honorary degrees
from the colleges this summer deserve
the distinction. The same was true
last year and tho year before; 1t II
true every year. Nor does the supply
Of men worthy Of scholastic distinc-
ton grow less. Every year many men
who have been seriously devoting
themselves to their work are found to
have risen 20 far above the general
level of their fellows that recognition
Of their achievement 10 appropriate.

sminence. but they have distinguished

As the desire to serve without regard

constructed that the most Of them

authorities must be included among
the incentives to endeavor. II takes

who do not achieve the distinction Of
honorary degrees there remains the

friends. The duty Of the friends to
make that appreciation known Is no
less than the duty Of the colleges to
honor great achievement.
