posed, But Changes Expected
No Definite Amendments So
Far Have Been Accepted

Washington, d. G., Jan. l6.--Little ae-
tual Roadway was made yesterday in
the consideration Of the Aldrich financial
bin BY the Senate committee on finance.
Tho members of the committee spent an
hour Offering verbal suggestions as TO
what the bill should contain. Senator
Hansbrough offered his plan to put the
supervision Of the emergency currency
issued in the hands Of board instead
of in the charge Of the treasury depart
ment officials, headed by the secretary
of the treasury. The Hansbrough idea
was not generally agreed to, but enough
was said concerning the inadyisability Of
leaving the issues practically in the
hands Of one man. to make it apparent
10 some of the members that the com
mittee win desire some different system
than the one proposed in the bill. The
first section Of the bill was read and
discussed but no definite amendments
were offered The finance committee
viii meet again to-day to further con-
slider the measure.
