for Passage Of Postal Sav-
ings Bank Bill.
SOUTHWICK WAS
THE SOLE BOLTER
As Agreed Upon by Caucus Sixty-five
Per Cent Of Funds Must Remain in
Banks in State From Which Sc
cured-Government to Invest 80
Per Cent in Securities-Five Per
Cent aS Reserve.

Washington. June 2.-The repub-
licans of the house went squarely on
record last night for the prompt pas
sage of the postal savings bank bill,
which is part of President Taft's leg
islative program. The bill finally was
agreed on at four hours confer
ence lasting until midnight, at which
the following resolution submitted by
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
was adopted:
Resolved that the postal savings
bank bill. agreed on by this caucus,
be, and the same is hereby adopted,
that the same be reported by the COM
mittee on post office and post roads,
and that it is the sense of this eau
Gus that a rule be reported from the
committee on rules for its consider
alton in the house"
The caucus was largely attended
and the only bolt was by Representa-
tive SOuthwick of New York, who We
hemently denounced the bill as radi-
cally socialistic and withdrew. de-
claring his intention to fight it on the
floor of the house Mr.. Southwick
signed the call for the caucus and has
attended the three previous caucuses
on the bill.
The caucus fixed at 65 per cent the
amount of funds placed in the postal
savings bank that must remain on
deposit in banks in each state and ter
ritory. and 80 per cent as the proper
ton OF such funds that the trustees
may withdray from investment in
United States securities.
The other five per cent must be held
as a permanent reserve in the United
States treasury. This disposition of
the funds. expected in connection with
the proposed postal savings bank, was
provided in the Davidson amendment,
which was adopted by the caucus.
The original bill provided a. 1-2 per
cent of the funds deposited in postal
savings banks should be deposited in
local banks and the same percentage
was authorized to be withdrawn for
investment in United States securi-
ties with per cent reserve fund in
the treasury.
The caucus voted down the Vree-
land amendment which extended the
percentage of deposits allowed in the
local banks to SO 1-2 per cent. and the
investment in federal securities to
% IL per cent. The Vreeland amend
ment was defeated on a vote of SO
to 81. The Davidson amendment was
then adopted with only a few scat
tered votes against it. Speaker Can
non was among those who voted first
for the Vreeland amendment and later
voted for the Davidson amendment.

line OF dope on the present campaign.
His principal object seemed to be TO work
up an American party scare and. after
making the declaration that the leaders
OF the American party were pledged to
the persecution OF the church leaders, he
made the remarkable statement that. two
years ago determined efforts had been
made to take the life OF Joseph F. Smith
and that scores OF threatening letters had
been received by Smith and are being
received now.
He charged the American party with
having stolen SO, 900 900 In the last five

Abiding to the charge of B, i. Grant
