BIZ LOTTERY FOR
 HOUSE OFFICES
Lively Scenes Enacted By the
 House Members
KITCHEN GETS FIRST PICK
Alabama congressmen Get Choice Offices In the New BuiIding-Differ- ences of Opinion Exist Upon
 Finance Matters.

Washington, January 9.-(Special.) )- For three hours this afternoon the House lotteried off to it's members the tives office building There is prac- tically no difference in any of the offices. Those on the south side are d little more cheerful by reason of the suns entrance but those on the north are couple of hundred yards nearer the capitol and were selected by the members who drew first choices. As for the four floors the numerous eleva- tors pretty well eliminate all choice.
 Representative Hehin had the first choice in the Alabama delegation and was shortly followed by Representative Hobson and Representative Underwood. The name of Representative Taylor, who is absent, was the last called in the delegation, the other members be- ing grouped about the middle of the drawing
 So great was the lack of order at times that Speaker Cannon suspended the proceedings. and ordered to their seats members who in their anxiety to pre-empt desirable locations, crowded in front of his desk where were placed on easels, the floor plans of the build ing. Some of the members regarded the drawing with much amusement, while others took a more serious view, and were constantly calling for order.
 Chairmen of committees already had been assigned quarters in the new building and today the drawing was participated in only by the 333 mem bers who were not heads of commit tees. The interest of members in the novel proceeding was evidenced by the fact that there were but few absentees. The selections for these were made by colleagues.
 A blindfolded page drew from the box of marbles corresponding with the numbers of the seats of the members. The name of Representative Claud Kitchen of North Carolina was drawn first and amid applause, he selected from the diagram in front of the speak CTS desk what in his opinion was the choicest room available in the building, Upon the conclusion of the drawing, which consumed over two hours time, the House at 2:40 adjourned until to- morrow.

OPINIONS DIFFER.
Question of Finance Is Puzzing Con-
 eressmen Thoroughly.

Washington, January 9.-Decided diff ferences of opinion as to the way of injecting elasticity into the national cur rency, and of increasing the safety of bank deposits have arisen among the members of the house committee on banking and currency of which Repre- sentative Fowler of New Jersey is chair man. Some of the republican members of the committee, as well as democrats. are not in entire sympathy with the plan of Chairman Fowler as embodied in the bill by him yesterday, contemplating the immediate and complete retirement of all national bank secured currency and it's replacement by a guaranteed credit currency based upon general assets of banks. The great differences distinguish ing the Fowler bill from the bill intro duced in the Senate by MT. Aldrich, which is looked on with favor by some of the members of the House banking committee, are that the former proposes a complete and permanent reorganization of the eountrys paper money, while the latter attempt only an emergency expan- sion and the one clings to national bank assets as the only proper security for national bank currency while the other permits the acceptance of railroad, county and municipal bonds, under certain re- strictions. as security.
 One of the members of the House bank ing and currency committee, who pre- fers the Aldrich bill to the Fowler bill, is Representative Burton of Ohio. While MT. Burton was unwilling to be quoted as to presenting his views In the commit tee or on the hoJr of the House, 1t is understood that he does not concede the necessity at this time of financial legis- lation of a revolutionary or permanent character. He thinks with Senator Ald- rich, that a bill more temporary than Mir Powders and more special in scope, will sufficiently guard the future and that the Aldrich bill, slightly modified, is the measure which Congress will event. uallY enact.

Employers Liability Bill.

Washington, January 9.-An employers lbility bill was today introduced by Senator Storing of Illinois. It is de- signed to exclude the grounds on which the present law was declared unconstitu- tional by the supreme court of the Uni- ted States. MT. Sterling's bill follows in some respects the Knox-Bales measure introduced in the House yesterday, but adheres more scrupulously in the word ing of the constitution touching the amenability of common carriers to re- strietions under the interstate commerce clause.
 Senator I4afollette has in preparation a bill relating to the liability of employers or common carriers which he will intro duce next week and urge asa substitute for the employers liability law. which has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Senator Fnox'S liabili-

of the court and the efficiency of its pro- cess to grant such provision to the contemnor and thus avoid an appearance of injustice even at some inconvenience in the matter of securing another judge. There is some analogy, though it IS not complete between the exclusion of a judge from sitting in the court of appeals to review a decision of his own, which now obtains in the practice of the federal court of appeals by statute, and the present suggested case. It is of the high est importance that the authority of the court to enforce its orders effectively should not be weakened and therefore l am opposed to the intervention of jury between the courts decree and its en- forcement by contempt proceedings. It would mean long delay and greatly weak en the authority of court. l do not think that the permission to change the judge, however. would constitute either seri- ous delay or lnjure the efficacy of the order while it may secure greater public confidence in the justice of the courts action The appearance of justice is almost as important as the ex- istence of it in the administration of courts.

COUNTRY BANK RESERVES.

Dispatches from New York published
yesterday noted with tone of surprise
that the country" banks are holding
their own reserves to a large extent
and are not sending their money to the
reserve banks as permitted by the law.
AS a result, the expected plethora of
money which had been predicted as a
sequence of the violent contraction of
last fall has not materialized in east
ern banking centers.
Why should anybody be surprised at
such a result? The so-called "coun-
try banks discovered last fall that &C.
casions can arise when a reserve is no
reserve at all in the ordinary banking
aeceptation of the term; and that when
New York holds funds and a crisis
arises, New York is going to protect
itself first, last and all the time, no mat
ter what happens to the country
bank. 1t will take some time to dispeI
the impression conveyed by the recent
experience: and the western bankers.
particularly, are apt to content them
selves with smaller profits while they
hold their own surplus funds where they
are available.
Nor is such a condition altogether
undesirable from the western point Of
view. Certain it is that local bankers
holding large reserves. will be in posi-
ton to accommodate sound business
projects better than if they placed their
money on call in reserve centers. The
practice, so common up to six months
ago, Of lending money on call through
New York bankers because of the quick
and large profits secured. had its dis
advantage in the diversion of funds
from local enterprises. It stimulated
stock speculation by placing enormous
sums at the disposition of eastern
banks for their clients use and the re-
action in Wall street which has con-
tinued 80 long is doubtless due in part
to the withdrawal of these same coun-
try reserves.
1t may be distressing for Wall street
to observe such extraordinary caution
among the bankers of the smaller cities;
but no one has heard any violent protest
from patrons and 6epositors Of the
country banks.
