in contining the benefits Of the issu-
ance Of emergency currency to ma
tional banks, The provisions for
using railroad bonds for the basis Of
these emergency notes he condemned
strongly, but said he would feel com
PEELED to vote for the measure except
IT'S railroad bond feature, if his pro
Fosed amendments should not be
adopted. The only principle of the
committee bill which he regarded as
of value was that relating to emerg-
ency notes, secured by bonds under
q penalty higher than the normal
rate of interest.
Referring to his proposed substi-
tute for the Aldrich BILL Mr.. Owen
said it proposed United States notes
for emergency use instead of bank
notes, and provides for their Gin
slant issue" 1t allowed all national
state or savings banks and trust
companies putting up the necessary
security to use them 1t provides that
United States notes may be used as
security, but strikes out railroad
bonds. 1t does not limit the quanti-
ty of emergency notes that may be
issued. 1t requires a tax of per
cent on the emergency currency dur
ing the first four months and per
cent thereafter. 1t also prevents ac-
tive officers of banks from borrowing
their funds except under safeguards.
The use of deposits for speculative
buying of stocks, bonds, etc. is pro-
hlbited Bank reserves against fed

changes are made in conditions gov

sTRINGENCY IN UNITED STATES
HAS CUT DOWN JAPANESE EX-
PORTS TO THIS COUNTRY AND
CREATED STRESS,

BBERLlN, Feb. 25,-The tighten
inS Of financial conditions in Japan
Is regarded by banks here as likely
to result in the transfer from London
to Toxic of large portion of jap
anese balances and somewhat to dis
turb European money markets.
Japan's balances in London are es-
timated at between $60,OO0,000 and
75,000,0O0
At the Japanese embassy the news
Of panicky conditions AS Osaki Kyo-
to and Kobe is discredited, but pri
vate advices to German firms trading
in the far east confirm the news of
the scarcity of money. The strin-
gency in the United States is believ-
ed to be affecting Japan, especially
as Japanese exports to the United
States have fallen off to considera-
BILE extent.
The prolonged doubts concerning
Japan's intentions toward the United
State on the immigration question
have tended to make European
bankers with Japanese connections
withdraw their loans and conduct
their business with unusual caution.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.---A gen
eral arraignment Of the republican
party was made in the house today
hy Garrett Of Tennessee, who charg
ed that during its entire career the
republican party had had Just three
Fundamental arguments Two based
on the Civil war and its outcome. Z
and that for two decades the bloody
shirt was the party banner, and be-
hind its crimson folds they marched
to victory after victory" And the
third that republican success means
prosperity and that democratic sue
cess does not, and this had become
a party hymn.
Not for 20 years, he charged, had
the republican party, as such, faced
an issue squarely "out In the open
sunlight of judgment and reason"
Representative Hayes of Califor-
MIA addressed the house on the
financial question. He held that the
currency system of the United States
was the worst used today by any
country. He denounced the Aldrich
bill and ridicu!ed the proposition of
central bank. He declared that in
elasticity was the principal defect of
our currency.
Declaring that he was in favor OF
bond-secured emergency currency
under an interest charge high
enough to compel automatic contrac-
ton of such issue, Senator Robert l..
Owen of Oklahoma proceeda ad TO crit
icise many features of the Aldrich
currency bill in the senate today.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-As al
ready stated in these dispatches,
there is nothing tangible before the

SENDS TRAINS
UNDER HUDSON
NEW JERSEY POINTS NOW CON.
NECTED WITH HEART OF NEW
YORK CITY WITH TUNNEL
UNDER THE RIVER.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-With in
teresting ceremonies and prominent
participants, accompanied by the
playing of bands and tie cheering OF
thousands the great steel tube un-
der the Hudson river, connecting
New Jersey and Manhattan island,
was formally opened to traffic today.
President Roosevelt, in the executive
mansion at Washington, pressed
button that flashed the signal for the
first car to start through the tunnel.
On board the first train were Cover
ror Hughes ct New York, Governor
Fort of New Jersey, the mayors OF
New York city, Hoboken and Jersey
City, and the officials of the con.
struction and rapid transit COM
panies that have made the great un-
dertaking an accomplished fact after
quarter of a century had elapsed
since the project was first conceived.
The first train covered the dis
tance of three and a quarter miles
in less than 15 minutes. Arriving
at the Nineteenth street terminal of
the tunnel system, the distinguished
participants in the dedication cere-
monies repaired to Sherry's, where
an elaborate banquet was spread in
further celebration of the important
event.
The opening of this tunnel, known
as the south tube of the North river
tunnel system, marks the completion
OF the first section of the great un-
foreground railroad system that is to
connect New York city with the New
Jersey side of the river. AMI which
win do away with the slow ferry
boats that for years have carried the
tens of thousands of passengers that
cross the North river daily.
The great terminals at Hoboken,
Jersey City and Newark on the New
Jersey side will be transfer points
for passengers from the various rail-
read and trolley lines that make a
network spreading over the entire
northern part of New Jersey. When
all sections of the new underground
system, with its Is miles of tunnels
are in operation, these points will
have direct rapid transit communi-
cation with the heart of New York
city. The cost of the enterprise Is
figures at nearly s60.o00,000.
The section opened to traffic today
extends from Hoboken under the
river to the foot of Morton street,
and thence up the west side of New
York to Nineteenth street. Within
o few months the section to Thirty
third street and Sixth avenue will be
III operation. At that point an inn
mense terminal station will be erect
ee and will, in all probability have
an underground connection with the
Pennsylvania station, as we'll as with
the present subway system running
the full length of Manhattan island.
For the present. eight-car trains wild
be run under the river at intervals
of every FIVE minutes. They are ex-
rected to make the trip in II min-
utes.
