In Strong Argument Before Cur.
rency Committee Former Secre-
tary Opposes Aldrich Bill.

MunSey RuiIdin
Washington. D. c., Feb.

Washington. D. c., Feb 10.
There has not been expressed such
strong denunctation of the Aldrich cur
rency bill since 1t was introduced. as
was uttered by Lyman j. Gage. former
Secretary OF the Treasury, in an adj
dress before the House Committee on
Banking and Currency today. The
aged fnancier spoke for over an hour,
and his precision of speech and his
conciseness OF expression, as much as
the evident serious thought which had
preceded his deliverance impressed
every member of the committee.
Regarding the Aldrich BILL Mr.. Gage
declared that its provisions could be
awaited Of only In times of panic, and
1t was doubtful whether they would
prove available then. The measure
would have no potency in the preven-
hypodermic syringe. 1t could be used
to put the patient to sleep. but when
he awoke the pain and danger of
Heath would be greater than before.
He commended the Fowler bill. One
stumbling block and the only one he
had found In It.. was that it did not

Should Guarantee Deposits.
IT fell down on that myself" said
Mr.. Gage. but have come to the con-
clusion that the guarantee of deposits
Is nothing more than just and right"
He said that IL he were banker and
haunted by the fear that he could not
pay his creditors. he would feel that
the Fowler bill would afford him re-
lief. but he would not look for help
from the Aldr1ch bill.
In response to question by Repre-
sentative Crawford, OF North Carolina
as to the cause of the recent panic
Mr.. Gage went into an elaborate en-

money In securities upon which it was

hearing that he believed every mem

favor OF it, and the President himself
has asked Congress to pass it,
Mr.. Henry asserted that II Speaker
Cannon wished to reflect the views of
miners and toilers of the country he
would aid in passing these measures.
and to that end Mr.. Henry pledged
the solid Democratic vote of the House.
The bill providing for the taking of
the thirteenth census occupied most Of
the time of the session of the House
to-day. Progress with it was slow be-
cause of numerous amendments Of
fered. but which in. the main were re-
jected. The bill was amended in one
portant particular, however, and that
was limiting the census to the main
land of the United States. Alaska, Ha-
wall and Porto Rico. The measure
will be further debated tomorrow.
