Mr.. Hepburn laid great stress upon
what he declared was the wrong
principle Of allowing security to be
used as q basis for emergency circu-
lation. He declared thats only bonds
that had the taxing power back OF
them should be used for that pur-
pose.
The passage OF the bill now, he
said, was like giving a man medicine
Helburn opposed the Aldrich bill and
declared Il was useless and he would
after he had recovered from an ILL
ness. He said the so-called panic
was only a nightmare and II A~nanciers
are given to understand that they
cannot depend upon government as
sistance in such cases they are more
apt to conduct their affairs on a sound
basis and thus prevent panics.
He took the ground that the result
Of the bill might be to supplant the
present currency with the emergency
bills, as the bills, once in circulation,
could not readily be called back. +,
"No More Money"
Let is say to those financial Jug
glers," said Mr.. Hepburn, you are
not to have more currency when you
have unlawfully used the money you
have had
He said he had never felt his
breast swell with gratitude toward the
financiers in New York who had been.
given credit for saving the situation.
Senator Hopkins spoke at length in
support Of the bill.
Senator Bailey stated that he would.
speak on the currency bill Monday
and Senator Depew will speak on
Friday.
Senator Aldrich announced that he
hoped to have q vote on the measure
next Wednesday.
After addresses had been made on

man Of this city, In which an injunc-
ton is asked for restraining the de.
PENDANTS from continuing a boycott
and otherwise interfering with and in
Turing his business. "A temporary re-
straining order was secured from
Judge Fox at Red Lodge yesterday by
Attorney Lamb OF the law firm of Ho.
gan & Lamb.
Reilly recites in hie complaint that
for a number Of years past he has
conducted q Wholesale and retail IL
Quor business in this city which has
done a business amounting to at least
$4,000 a month up until the time that
the boycott was declared against him.
He alleges that at q meeting of the
Yellowstone Trades and Labor assem-
bly, held February "a, he was placed
on the unfair list at the instigation Of
the defendant officers Of the Bartend-
ers' union and that the defendants
have acted maliciously and with In
tent to injure and destroy his bust
ness.
To Spread Boycott.
He states that he has been informed
and verify believes that the defendants
intend to have hand bills printed de-
claring him unfair and distribute them
about the city in an effort to persuade
the public to withdraw their patron
age from him and in this way injure
his business.
He also recites that an effort has
been made to persuade wholesale deal
ers from whom he purchases his sup
plies and liquor to refuse to sell him
their goods and alleges that the de-
PENDANTS have eve correspondent with
these wholesale firms to further their
efforts in this direction.
He declares that Doody, Putnam and
Kinselea have entered his place Of
business at divers times and persuad-
ed his employees to quit his service
and otherwise hindered him in the
transaction Of his business.
Says Business Suffers.
The allegation is made in the COM
plant that Reilly's business has suf-
fered at least $1,000 since the boycott
was declared and the complainant as
serts that since the defendants are in
solvent, he cannot recover from them
for the injury done his business by
their declaring him unfair.
Mr.. Reilly demands that the defend
ants be restrained permanently from
