Senate Committee Agrees to
Eliminate Objectionable Sc
curities in Aldrich Bill
PROVISION RETAlNE
OLD
Feature Of Old Law Regulating
Amount to Be Retired in One Month
Voted in by committee-Aldrich Ac-
quiesces in Amendments Which Are
Proposed.

Washington, March 17.-The senate
committee on finance today voted un-
animously to amend the Aldrich finan-
cial bill by eliminating railroad bonds
circulation. 1t has also decided to
amend the bill so as to retain the pro-
vision of the present law prohibiting
the retirement by national banks OF
more than $9,OO0,O0O of circulation in
any one month.
Amendments were reported to the
senate today by Aldrich, who said the
action of the committee had been un
animous. He said:
"rhe committee believed when the
bill was reported and now believes 1t is
desirable to have for these emergency
notes as large an amount as possible
of available security. But the COM
mittee finds issues are raised in re-
gard to railroad bonds which have no
reference to the bill under considera-
tion, such as the question of the re-
lation between the railroad and the
public and the proper treatment OF
railroad stocks and bonds, and under
all the circumstances the committee
thinks it better to ask the senate to
strike out these provisions in respect
to railroad bonds"
Senator Nelson of Minnesota. in
ouired whether the amendment had
been offered by the committee in re-
lation to banking reserves.
NO" replied Aldrich 1.-The commit
tee has that under consideration and
will report on it in a very short time

Progressive republicans have not
been content to allow Judge Nichols Of
Dallas courty to remain out of the
race for congressman and are again
urging him to enter the race. He gave
his word definitely some time ago that
he would not consent to run. Since
tEerc Is sure to be opposition to Hull
there has come revival Of the idea
OF brl ging out a good strong progress
sve Many want Judge Nichols to en-
to- the race. He Is again considering
it. Judge Prouty of Polk county, who
has been mentioned as a possible can
didate. is among those urging him to
run. If Nichols finally refuses again
to run it is likely that Judge Prouty
will be brought out. 1t Is learned that
1t has been practically decided among
the progressives to have one Of these
two men in the race against Hull.
Judge Nichols Is loath to enter the
race for the reason that he could Ill
.iifcrd to accept 1t. IT costs much more
to be a congressman and live in Wash
inston than to be a judge. Judge
Prouty financially is more able to en-
ter the race.
There is speculation as to whether
the control Of the state convention will
help or hinder Allison. About the Saw
cry lobby it was learned today that

others of more and less amounts ready

the standpatters know that they car
