BANK BILL MODIFIED.
To Meet Objections to Postal
.Sarings Measure.
rrron The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Feb 17.-At conference
held at the White House tonight, an agree
rnent was reached on a postal savings bank
bill which will be satisfactory to the ad-
rnfnistration and will meet the objections
of the Senators who are not satisfied that
in its present form the Garter bill Is ccnsn-
tl1tfonaL The details OF this agreement
will be worked out tomorrow BY Senators
Carter. Root and Smoot. Senator Bailey
will speak in opposition to the bill on Tues
day, and Mr.. Carter hopes that 4 final vote
on the measure will be taken not later than
a week from to-day
The White House conference tonight was
attended by Senators AIdrich, Crane, Root,
Carter and Penrose and Representative
Weeks chairman of the House Committee
on Postofices and Post Roads. Several
days ago President Taft was assured by the
Senate leaders that there was no danger of
the postal savings bank bill being defeated.
The Root amendment, providing for the in
vestnent of postal savings funds in United
States securities, and the Snoot amend
ment, which was aimed TO keep postal
funds in investments in the immediate
neighborhood OF the place where they would
be deposited, developed sharp differences Of
opinion the Republican side. AZ no time
did these differences threaten to do more
than delay the passage of the bill. The
President was anxious to compose these
differences at the earliest possible date, and
with this end in view the conference to-
night held
It is probable that both the Root and
Smoot amendments will be withdrawn and
that Senators Root, Carter and Smoot will
work out an agreement as TO the disputed
phraseology of the sections of the bill in
question which will be acceptable TO prac-
tically every Senator on the Republican
side.
The presence Of Representative Weeks ~
to-nights conference is taken to mean that
the general plan OF the agreement will be
acceptable To the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads and that an early
report The bill 70 the House may be ex-
pected when the Senate has taken action

was properly and promptly rebuked by the
Senate to-day. In a ramboyant and vulgar
speech the Arkansas Senator attacked
Senator Owen, of oklahoma through
whose courtesy he was permitted to ad-
dress the Senate
Senator Owen replied briefly TO what ne
termed an 'impudent'' speech. He declined
TO yield to Mr.. Davis. saying that the Al

might have TO his consideration ana ie

explosive adjectives that were just fighting
with each other to get out of his system
In few minutes he was shouting at the

that the STANDARD Oil Company was the
most iniuuitous institution in the world.
He asserted that the pending bill was
framed in the interest of the Prairie Creek
Company, branch OF the Standard OIL
Company Then he directed his oratorical
shafts at John D. Rockefeller.

Some Opposition in House to Honorins
Explorer

Washington. Feb 17-Menlbers Of the
House may demand that Robert z. Peary
exhibit his proofs TO the world in general
before voting him q gold medal and the
thanks Of Congress. II was learned to-day
that the Naval Committee was not entirely
unanimous on the proposition Of bestoV-
ing honors on the discoverer of the pole
One of the leaders of the House, who
declined 10 allow the use Of his name said
to-day that he was opposed to accepting
The proofs o. Mr.. Peary that he discovered
the pole merely because the National Geo
graphic Society had accepted them He
charged a preconcetved prejudice In favor
of Peary on the part Of the society, and
said that before Congress took this step
the verdict of this society should be con-
flrnned by other scientific bodies of the
world
Several members have expressed opposi-
tion 10 the proposed Peary honors and one
or two have threatened 10 discuss the sub
iect vigorously on the floor If II is brought
Up there.
