TIE ALpRlCH BILL.

Washington, April 13.-The Alb
rich financial bill as passed by the
senate was handled without gloves
today by speakers before the housr
which IS consiaePPhhg iAaePhgR taRHa AID fingEgsenGy igssayy
With the exception of Charles c.
Glover, president of the Riggs Ma
tional bank Of this city, none of those
who spoke today favored the passage
at this time of an emergency clause.
Sentiment was almost unanimous that
if permanent financial bill cannot
become a law now, no attempt shoull
be made to amend the present laws.
The speakers who followed Glover
representing interests In Minneap-
els. st. Paul, Boston, New York,
Richmond Va, took issue with his
statement that financial conditions
have not improved, and said they saw
no signs of an impending panic. One
OF the sections wost freely criticised
was the LaFollette amendment pro
viding that no national bank associa-
ton shall invest any part of its funds
or deposits in stocks or other securi-
ties of any corporation or associations
any officer or director OF which are
officers or directors OF such banking
association.
The claim was mado that this
ould drive the most desirable men
Of community out OF the directorate
of the bank. An asset currency bill
was favored by many speakers, and
the appointment of a commission toI
investigate the whole subject and re-
port to congress was generally fav
ored. Hearings will be resumed to-
morrow

New York, April a3,-The Demo
cratic state convention, which will
meet tomorrow, promises to be as in
teresting in it's deliberations as in its
conclusions. A two days session is
planned and unless all signs fail the
time allotted will be required for the
business in hand
| First and foremost, there will be a
determined fight in the interests Of
Bryan His friends viii IN all prob
ability lose and unnstmcted dele
gates will be sent to the Denver cch.
yention.
Defeat VIII Be Speedy.
The defeat ofthe Bryan men, who
viii be in the minority, is quite likely
to be accomplished in the commit.
tee on resolutions. The COMMITTEES
controlled by Tammany Leader Char,
les F. Murphy and Chairman W. j.
Connors is expected to squelch any,
thing proposed in the way cf minor.
ity report
The report of the majority will
probably cIiticise the Republican adj
ministration and invite Democratic
victory in November, but viii avoid
mention Of presidential candidate
and resolve that an uninstructed dele.
cation be sent to the national conven
tiln. Any subsequent attempt to get
Bryans name before the committee
Will be sat upon.
Bryan's Endorsement Demanded

sive League, tonight issued state
nent demanding the endorsement of
f5ryan rtunras frns -rsrufeu three proxy
of an up state delegate and will mako
a fight on the floor of the convention
to have the league statement adopted
as resolutions.
Tammany Gets Jolt.
The Tammany organization was
taken by surprise late today when
Senator McCarren secured supreme
court writ compelling the placing up.
on the temporary roll call of McCar
ren delegates from Brooklyn.
1t was too late for counter court
action today and when the state com
mittee met this evening the court
order was obeyed. Anti McCarren
delegates from Brooklyn have already
served notice that they will make an
effort to have the court order vacated
smart fight in the committee on
credentials is inevitable, not only In
the case of McCarren's delegation but
as well as the contested delegations
of Patrick McCabe of Albany and
John N. Carlisle, of Jefferson county.
Bryan League Meets.
There was a meeting of the Bryan
League tonight, at which it was de.
cided to strongly support President
Thomas. There We're also rumors of
Ia bolt in the event the convention re
fused to give any consideration TO a
move for Bryan.
These rumors are not taken serious
ly. Chairman Conners will call the
convention to order and Temporary
Chairman Thomas Carmody, who
will probably preside throughout. will
make the principal address of the
gathering.

DOWN REPRESENTATION
OF SOUTH.
THOUSANDS OF NEGROES
Will Not Vote For Tart on the
Ground That it Would Benefit
Rooseveit-Dsc scussion Put
Aside.

New York, April l3-At mass
meeting at Bishops Chapel. African
Methodist Episcopal church today ar
ranged by the Morris Brown Colleg
in the interest of the education OF the
negro, political discussion invited by
a letter cf Bishop Alexander Walters
of the African church diocese Of New
York, was promptly put aside by the
action of the Rev, Dr. Parks, who
presided at the meeting.
Bishop Walters in the letter written
for the occasion attacked the presi'
dent and Secretary Taft on their att
tude of the affair of the dismissal of
the negro trops at Brownsville, TeX
President r osevelt himself had sent
a letter to the meeting expressing
sympathy with the movement for ne
gro education. A letter from John
Temple Graves contained a check for
$50 from William X. Hearst, for the
negro educational movement, and 9th
or letters expressing sympathy with
the movement were read from Mayor
Joyner cf Atlanta, Ga; Clark Howell.
editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and
w. Wt Landrum. pastor of the First
Baptist church of Atlanta.
Reasons For Faith.
1--WE should be able at all times to
give q reason for the faith that is in
us, said Bishop Walters in his let
ter 80 am expected TO give a rea
son for my opposition to the nomi-
nation Of Mr. Taft
"In the first place believe that the
hastydismissal of the colored soldiers
at Brownsville without trial was a
part of Wjaii LAID plan to discredt
tire race TOR une pufposv 81 Ur,5ariilsss
up the solid South, winning the sup.
port of enough senators to hold the
administration in carrying through
the senate the presidents policies
and to win the applause of the whole
south
There are thousands of negroes
who will never vote for Secretary
Taft, for they know that vote for
Secretary Taft means a vote for Presi.
dent Roosevelt, and rather than do
this they will remain away from the
polls"
Cut South's representation.
The letter said that the president
and Secretary were either honest or
sincere Or insincere, in the
declaration of the Ohio platform Of
the Republican party for a reduction
of Southern representation in CON
gress, and as congress was still in
session they should prove their hon
esty and sincerity by having legisla
tion for the reduction of the Southern
representation put through at this
time.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the letter there was a furry among
those present and it seemed as though
a discussion of the letter would fol-
low. Or. Parks declared that the meet
ing had been called to discuss educa.
ticnal matters and it was no time
for political discussion.
