NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION
is Expected At Present Session of Con
aress-Conferes Still Working.

Washington, May 19.-That there
will be no currency legislation at the
present session of Congress is now
believed by many members to be al
most a certainty. The conference of
the Senate and House bills have held
several sessions in an effort to work
out something under the head of"Al-
drich-Vreeland BILL" but they are said
to have almost abandoned hope.
The House committee on finance has
been swampted by protests from bank
ers and commercial interests against
the Vreeland bill. The opposition has
been based chiefly upon the charges
that it proposes an asset currency
being permitted to issue notes.
Senators Aldrich. Hale and Allison
have been studying the Vreeland bill
and they are of the opinion that it
would be bad legislation to enact it.
