SENATE STANDS
BY OWN MEASURE
REFUSES TO ACCEPT VREELANo
BILL As SUBSTITUTE FOR
ALDRlCH BILL.
CONFERENCE WITH THE HOUSE
Believed That Political Pressure
Brings About an Agree
ment

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Sen
ate stood by the Aldrich emergency
currency bill today in preference to
the yreeland bill. and the house re
fusing to accept it, as a substitute for
the Vreeland bill the currency ques-
ton was thrown into conference by
the votes of both branches. The sen
ate took the lead in the exceptional
procedure of appointing five instead
of three conferees and the house fol
lowed suit in this respect.
Both the senate and the house con-
ferees are determined to stand by
their own measures as long as they
can, but it is understood that for po-
litical reasons pressure will be brought
to bear to insure an agreement before
adjournment The leaders of both
branches want to have action Of con-
gress in passing some sort of an
emergency currency bill as an aid in
the coming campaign.
1t did not take long to dispose of
the Vreeland bill in the senate. 1t
came over from the house a few min
utes after the session began. Senator
Aldrich at once moved to refer it to
the finance committee, of which he is
chairman This action was taken |
without any objection.
Only a few minutes later Mr.. AL
drich, who had been instructed by the
unanimous vote Of the Republicans
and Democrats on the committe ear
lier in the day, reported the measure
back to the senate with the recommen-
dalton that the Aldrich bill be substi-
tuted for it. with certain amendments.
The committee recommended that
the sections of the Aldrich bill which
were Incorporated as the result of the
efforts of Senators Johnson of Ala
bama and LaFollete of Wisconsin be
stricken out and that the new section
be added making provisions for ma
tional monetary commission, to be
composed of nine members of the
senate and nine members of the i
house, to investigate the question of 2
reform in the financial system of the
country and of needed legislation, and
'eport to congress in the next SEES !

The Johnson proposition was that il
banks outside of the central reserve Il
titles should keep four-ffths OF their +
reserves in their vaults. The LaFol q
cite amendment provided that banks q
hould not invest any part of their +
unds in corporations in which any Of 7

At Elmore, a small town near Gil
liam, several houses were destroyed
and it is not known how many people
persisted. Several of the dead were
brought to Shreveport on the relief
train from Gillian this morning and
the hospitals and sanitariums are
crowded with injured, several of whom
will die.
A. Lambkin, farmer living in the
country near Gillian, was killed, to-
gether with his wife and four chill
dren.
The injured at Bolinger numbers !
about forty persons, some of whom
have been brought here, OF these it
is believed that not more than three
or four will die.
