CONFERENCE ON
 CURRENCY BILL
REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO AGREE ON MEASURE WHICH WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF PASS ING.

Washington, February 1.-The repub- iican members of the committee on bank ing and currency entered today on series of conferences by which it is hoped to reach an agreement regarding the recom- mendation to the house of a currency bill at this session. A feeling exists among the members that the eountry's financial system. embracing the fluctuations of na- tional prosperity is the issue upon which the coming Presidential campaign will be fought, and that the sort of currency bill to be passed at the present session of Congress will determine in a great meas ure the shape of the financial plank to be inserted in the republican platform at Chicago. The republican members Of the committee are very anxious, therefore to go before the House with an unbroken front in reporting favorably q currency bill Thus far some rather wide differ ences of opinion have characterized tho attitude of the majority members. It is in the hope of closing these breaches that the conference series was inaugurated to- Gay.
 1t is the general understanding that the democratic members of the committee will submit a minority report recom- mending the passage of the minority cur rency bill introduced recently by Repre- sentative John Sharp Williams of Missis- sippi, no matter whether the republicans finally agree to recommend the bill or some other measure In it's place.

GENERAL INQUIRY
 FOR MISSING MAN
BROOKLYN POLICE ARE SENDING OUT REQUEST FOR ARREST OF A FORMER TREASURER OF A TELEPHONE COMPANY.

New York, February 17.-Preparations were made by the Brooklyn police today to send out g. general request to police throughout the country to arrest Henry s. Snow, former treasurer of the New York and New Jersey Telephone com pany, who was indicted on a charge of grand larceny last Friday. It is by which Snow obtained a loan on $12O,0OO worth of the stock of the company for which he had not paid, and that some of the companys securities which were in his custody have disappeared. He has been missing from his home in Brooklyn since Thursday and he is alleged to be a fugi- tive from justice. The police have been expecting that he would return and sur render and have been following all clews that indicated a hiding place, without success. The police say now that they believe Snow left the city as soon as he discovered that the case was to be taken before the grand jury

ARMY OFFICERS
 MAY GET A RAISE
BILL PROVIDING FOR INCREASED PAY FOR ENLISTED MEN WILL PROBABLY BE AMENDED IN THE SENATE.


 Washington, February 17.-Chairman Hull of the committee on military affairs today reported to the House the army appropriation bill carrying a provision for a 27 per cent increase in the pay of en- listed men and non-commisisoned officers. Referring to the omission of commits stoned officers in the proposed increase, MT. Hull said:
 This does not mean that the committee thinks the pay of officers is adequate. To the contrary, the committee was agreed that it should be increased. though by what percentage was not determined; but the committee fearing a point of order. felt that it would be unwise to include such a provision in the appropriation bill. The Senate may do so. Probably an in- crease for officers will be incorporated in the bill in the form of an amendment on the floor.

WITHERSPOON IS

LIEUTENANT COLONEL IS PRO- NOTED BY SENATE AFTER FIVE HOURS DEBATE WITH LITTLE OPPOSITION.

Washington, February 1.-The Senate, after nearly five hours debate on the nomination of Lieut.. Col w. w. Wither- spoon to be brigadier general, today voted to confirm. There were only seven votes in opposition. The contest was led by Senator Bulkely. who spoke against the practice of promoting officers except by seniority unless an officer has had such service as would cause the whole country to demand it. He was particularly bitter against what he called the promotion of officers for some one act of heroism when they had not been especially trained for an advanced grade. In the case of Lieu tenant Colonel Witherspoon, however, there was not word directed against his record, which was conceded to be such as entitled him to special recognition.

DRUCE WITNESS IS

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BRIT ISH GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE AN INVESTIGATION AND RE PORT ON FACTS.


 London, February 1.-The report that Robert Caldwell, the American who. gained considerable notoriety as wit ness during the recent hearing in Lon don of the Druce case. had been com mitted to an asylum in New York, came as a surprise to everyone who was brought in contact with him during the trial, in which he was one of the central figures. Because of his testimony the British government is endeavoring to have Caldwell extradited, to answer to the charge of perjury, and it is under stood that a representative of the British home office will make an independent in Nestigation of the alleged commitment in New York. If this agent is satisfied of the genuiness of the Caldwell insanity. the extradition proceedings against him will be stopped, otherwise steps will be taken to have the ruling of the court set aside.

CRUISER IS ACCEPTABLE.
North carolina's Speed Test Shows
 Vessel to Be Worthy.

Washington, February 1.-The official report of the trial of the new armored cruiser North Carolina, off the Virginia Capes, Saturday night confirms the statements in the press dispatches that she averaged approximately 22. 4s knots in her four-hour speed trial. The acceptance of the cruiser by the government is now guaranteed.
 Although the speed made by the North Carolina is the best ever made by an American armored cruiser, English-built vessels of the same class have made much better records running up to 24 knots an hour, and one of them, the Duke of Edinburgh. it was estimated, would make 27I5 knots.
