SIDETRACkS THE
CURRENCY Bill
Senate Considers the Alleged
lrreguIarity of Smiths
Election
Maryland Statesman's Creden-
tialS Are Received and
He Is Sworn In

WASHINGTON, March 2e.--Although h
the senate met today with the intention
of devoting the entire time of the
session to the currency bill, the Gre
dentials of Senator elect John Walter
Smith of Maryland early became the
subject of discussion that consumed
near four hours and destroyed all hope
of disposing Of the currency bill before
adjournment today.
The result of the debate on the pro-
priety of swearing in Smith was vote
of "a to % in favor of receiving his
credentials and leaving the regularity
Of his election to be considered by the
committee on privileges and elections
and by the senate later.
Burrows Of Michigan, chairman of
the committee on privileges and elec-
tions, objected to the admission OF the
senator elect on the ground that the
law required that two Tuesdays shall
intervene between the time notice OF
a vacancy in the senate is given and an
election. AS the late Senator Whyte
died on Tuesday and his successor was
chosen on the following Tuesday, Bur-
rows claimed that the law had not been
complied with.
Rayner claimed that the statute had
been complied with; that to deny his
colleague his seat would make neces-
sary an extra session Of the Legislature
of Maryland at cost Of $50000, and
that, even if Burrows contention
should prove to be correct, Smith
should be sworn in and his case con-
sidered by the proper committee.

AMENDS ALDRICH BILL
Finance Committee Approves
Several Important Changes

WASHINGTON, March 2e.-Prior TO
the resumption by the senate of the
consideration of the Aldrich currency
bill today, the committee on finance
held a meeting and agreed to accept
number of amendments offered by
Senators Lodge Nelson, Johnston and
Allison.
The Lodge amendment adds the bonds
of the Philippine islands and of the
city of Manila to the list of acceptable
securities for the proposed additional
currency.
Senator Nelson's amendment requires
the payment of interest on deposits in
national banks at such a rate as the
secretary of the treasury may pre-
scribe-not less, however, than / per
cent per annum upon the average
monthly amount of such deposits.
Allison's amendment provides for de-
struction of the emergency circulation
after ii has been turned into the treas
ury for redemption. The purpose is to
insure the permanent retirement of the
emergency circulation and prevent an
enlargement of circulation by convert
ing the redeemed notes into the gem
eral funds.
The subcommittee decided to report
favorably to the full committee tomor-
row the s2.0oo.0 900 deficiency estimate.
