CURRENCY BILL
ASSURED TODAY
HOUSE PASSES MEASURE TO
SENATE
FINAL VOTE WILL BE TAKEN
THIS EVENING
Senator La Toilette VIII Vote mo-"
and May Make Objections, but
No One Doubts Its UIti-
mate Passage
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 27.-An emer-
gency currency law is assured. The
currency question held its place today
as practically the only subject of con-
sideration at both ends of the capitol,
and when both houses adjourned the
compromise bill which was drafted by
the Republican conferees had received
the sanction of the house and had been
presented to the senate, where it was
announced 1T would be taken up tomor-
row, and where it will also be passed
When the vote is reached.
The day began with continuation
of yesterdays conference between the
Republican representatives of the two
houses. This resulted in a complete
agreement, which being later presented
as matter of form to the Democratic
conferees was shortly after %. m. pre-
sented to the house. There it was
taken up at o'clock, discussed for one
hour and passed, 166 to 140.
The house had no sooner recorded its
verdict for the bill than 1t was hur-
ried over to the senate, shortly before
p. M, with the announcement of the
approval of the house.
The conference report was read, and
after the reading had been concluded
Mr.. .Aldrich announced that tomorrow
after routine business he would move
to take up the report and continue its
consideration until 1t was disposed of.
Democrats Object
In reply to question by Mr.. Culber-
son, Mr.. Aldrtch stated the Democratic
conferees of the senate and house had
not concurred in the conference report.
The Democratic senators spent much
of the day in informal conferences
among themselves as to the proper
course to pursue with reference to the
bill, and decided upon a conference to
be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock as the
best means of offording an opportunity
for an exchange of views without bind
ing anyone. 1t was also decided to
summon all absent Democratic sena-
tors to return.
Practically the only point remaining
unsettled is when the vote will be
taken. No one doubts that the report
will be adopted, and the bill carried.
AS the situation now appears the
time of voting and the consequent final
adjournment of congress depends
largely upon one man, and that is SEN
ator La Toilette. So far as they have
spoken, the Democrats are inclined toI
permit final action after comparatively
brief consideration. They simply de-
sire opportunity to enumerate what
they believe to be the Objectionable fea-
lures of the new bill and also to point
out the supposed inconsistencies of the
Republican leaders.
