WASHINGTON. Jan. ls.-After two ses-
sionE Of The senate committee on finance
today the members Of the committee were
in possession Of a fair idea OF what shspe
the Aldrich financial bill viii be IN when
il is reported next week. There win be no
more meetings Of the committee until
Monday, when the various amendments
which have been gradually evolved through
the general discussion Of the bill during
this week will be Incorporated In The
measure.
II Is stated TO be practically certain that
the limit Of extra currency which the bill
provides for will be raised from S1g0o0aoeO
TO S51a@p,Ooo. Most Of the members OF the
committee believe that this figure Is not
too high for time OF emergency when q
heavy issue Of currency notes Is demanded

under the prescribed tax. The tax on the
emergency issues viii not, 81 Is believed.

A democratic member OF the committee
asserted today that the minority as a whole
is not in favor Of a bill providing . cur

ment bonds but being unable to prevent a
favorable report on such measure they
are making 1t their duty SO FAR as lies In
their power. to make II effective
measure of that nature as possible and
they are therefore joining with republicans
in advocacy Of most Of the features OF the
Aldrich bill.

TowLE ALLEGES HIS DAMAGE
says Real IatentioR a. 60 Pvt
Present Company Out of Exist
ence I'm Favor Of New
One.

The principal feature OF the hearing be-
fore Judge Kennedy yesterday afternoon
OF the injunction case brought by John W.
Tovle to prevent the voting Of proxies In
favor OF changing the Bankers Reserve
Life company from a mutual TO q stock
company was the denial on the part cf
attorneys for the defendants that it was
their intention TO alter the present COM
pany Gnler & Weaver for TOwle pre-
sented their arguments in support Of the
application for an injunction and the de-
PENDANTS will answer this morning. Judge
Kennedy promised as speedy decision as
possible.
In the answer filed yesterday the board
OF directors deny their purpose is to change
the nature OF the present corporation.
Their object is. they say, 10 re-insure the
policy holders OF the present corporation
in the new corporation, which has already
been organized. They say the law forbids
their changing the present corporation and
that IL is not their intention to do 50.
While they assert the restraining order
does not forbid their reinsuring their policy
holders in the new company they object
to its being made permanent because il
IS broad in ts terms and they might in
sdvertently violate some provision Of it by
misinteTpretation.
Letter sent TO Policy Holders.
Mr.. Giller presented a copy Of the letter
sent out 20 the policy holders, which he
contended stated il was the intention to
vote all proxies in favor OF a change in
the corporation and some time was spent
in q discussion OF the meaning Of some
parts of the letter. he also contended IL
II was not the intention TO change the
present company directly into q stock
company il was the purpose to accomplish
that end indirectly by reinsuring present
policy holders and transferring the assets
Of the present corporation to the new COM
pany in trust
He pointed out that the new stock COM
pany has the same name as the old mu-
tUal company, with the exception the word
the" is included in the title Of the new
company. He declared this was proof it
was the intention to put the present COM
psny out Of existence in favor Of the new
one.
1t Is the contention OF the plaintiff he
has a right 60 participate in the earnings
OF the present company and that this
would be denied him in the new company.
