Senator GaIEnger's bill for the incor-
poration Of banks in the District had
clear sailing in the Senate yesterday az
ternOon and would probably have been

The measure was reached in regular
order on the calendar and discussion was
proceeding with rapidity under the. direc-
ton Of Senator Dillingham;, when the
member from California interrupted and
asked that the bill 90 over.

bankers be required 20 pay a license and
prohibits them from advertising as
banks" but cOmpels them TO be listed

Washington when We have q monetary
commission engaged at present IN inves-
tigating these matters. ask that the bill
