THE MONETARY COMMISSION.-Sena
tor Penrose. replying to an inquiry Of Sen
ator Cummins, said to-day that report on
the Cummins resolution providing for the
abolition of the National Monetary Com
mission might be expected soon, as the
Finance Committee would take the matter
up next week. He added that ex-senator
Aldrich, chairman Of the commission was
expected I'm Washington any day. and the
committee thought it proper 10 hear the
chairman before taking action. Those
familiar with Mr. Aldrichs views know
that IL is his desire that the commission
make report Immediately, concluding
with a recommendation that It be dis
charged at once. 1t has been charged, and
with some degree Of truth, that the COM
mission has been made "a cyclone cellar
for lame ducks" Mr.. Aldrich has never
drawn a cent of pay for his services on
