that 1T is the concensus Of opinion
of the highest authorities that the
present procedure of the American

so complicated, arbitrary and cumber-

be transacted under unanimous con-

CRITICIZED : ALDRIcH BILL
SPEAKERS BEFORE HOUSE COM
MlTTEE ALL AGAINST 1T.
But One Favored the Passage At This
Session Of Any Ener-
0ency Measure.

Washington, Apr. 1.-The Aldrich
financial bill, as passed by the senate
was handled without gloves Monday
by speakers before the house commit
tee on banking and currency which is
considering the measure. With the
exception Of Charles G. Glover, presi-
dent of the Riggs National bank OF
this city, none Of those who spoke IA
vored the passage at this time of an
emergency measure. The sentiment
was almost unanimous that II per-
manent financial bill cannot become a
law now, no attempt should be made
to amend the present laws.
The speakers who followed Mr..
Glover, representing interests in Min
neapolis, st. Paul, Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and 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 most free
Iy criticised was the LaFollette amend
ment providing that no national bank
ing association shall invest any part
Of its funds or deposits In the stocks
or other securities Of any corporation
or association, any Of the ofiicers or di.
rectors Of which are officers or d.
rectors of such banking association.
The claim was made that this would
drive the most desirable men Of a
community out of the directorate of a
bank.
An asset currency bill was favored
by many of the speakers and the ap-
pointment of a commission to investi'
gate the whole subject and report to
congress was generally favored.

no REGULATE SHIPMENTS
DRAFTED BY SENATOR KNOX 70
CONTROL LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Must 90 to consIsnee--carrlers Can
Not Do Agents-shall Be La
beIled to Show Contents.

Washington, D. c., Apr. Ex-senator
Clarke Of Wyoming Monday reported
to the senate the bill drafted by SEN
ator Knox and approved by the judi
ciary committee to regulate interstate
shipments of intoxicating liquors. The
bill is simple in form and deals with
only three OF the questions that have
been raised in connection with the
subject. It provides that shipments Of
intoxicating liquors from one state or
territory or from foreign country
to another state or country, must be
delivered to the person to whom they
were consigned or upon tho written or
der of the bonafide consignee. Failure
to comply with this provision or the
delivery of the shipments to any, fcti
tious person or any person under a
fictitious name would subject the
guilty officer, agent or employe of any
railroad company, express company or
other common carrier to fine of not
more than $4,000 The second section
Of the bill provides against the agent
of the common carrier acting as the
agent for the buyer or seller of in
toxicating liquors and the third sec
tion requires that packages of liquor
shall be so labelled on the outside
cover as to plainly show the nature
Of its contents and the quantity con-
tanned therein. The latter two provis-
ions are subject to the same penalties
as the first. In the case Of liquors
shipped from a foreign country the
provisions Of the act are not to take
effect until 60 days after its passage.
