If a Friend Of WorlSinEman He May
Advance Legislation.

WASHINGTON, February 1s.---As the
result of Mr.. Boutell's Mandatory re-
marks of Speaker Cannon in the House
yesterday, Mr.. Henry, of Texas, soon
after the House met to-day, said that
If Mr.. Boutell's statements were
sincere and truly represented the
Speakers attitude toward the toilers
OF the country, the Speaker would
give the weight OF his Influence to
much needed legislation. Mr.. Henry
disavowed any intention to detract
from the praise which had been ac-
corded Mr.. Cannon. but he said there
were several matters that could he
enacted into law within the next few
days or weeks "if the Speaker would
but respond to the demand Of the
country and the demand Of the Demo-
Gratis of the House"
One of these was the employers liza

had urged in his recent "pyrotechnical

Johnston on Reserves.

Senator Johnston to-day addressed
the Senate on the Aldrich currency
bill. He agreed with Senator Aldrich
on the subject OF reserves OF national
banks. and said that such reserves
should be held untouched except when
a depositor presents check and de-
mands payment. Then he said, "the
emergency should be recognized as
full grown"
Speaking of his proposed amend
ment to the Aldrich bill. Mr.. John
ston read from the Presidents recent
message on stock gambling. and said
his amendment to require two-thirds
of a banks reserve to be kept in their
own vaults would do much to lesson
stock gambling.
Such an amendment. he declared,
would keep $1o0.o0o,000 more money
in the country banks and away from
the great cities In which the stock
gambling exists.
Tobacco Tax Repeal.
Representative Dalzell. of the Ways
and Means Committee, reported to the
