TFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. March 2l.--After several
weeks of indecislve manmuvring. which has
caused members OF the House 10 ask en-
barrassing questions regarding the lack OF

and Currency Committee which will con
duct the investigation Of the money trust
agreed on a tentative programme to-day.
The subcommittee, without any definite
idea concerning what II will do, or hsw It
will do #. has decided to Investigate FIRST
the alleged intcrlocking system of national
bank directorates.
Representatives stevens, OF Mississippi
and Byrncs. OF South Carolina, were au-
thorzed TO call upon Lawrence o. Murray
Controller Of the Currency TO get his Views
concerning the method OF procedure II
will probably require several days 10 com
pile the information I'm such form that It
may be grasped by the House investigators
who are by no means experts AT the game
OF high finance.
The committee has determined to proceed
for the present without the aid Of counsel
One Of the lawyers summoned for confer
ence with the committee members informed
It that il probably could proceed best in its
own way. IT is understood that this at
torney could obtain no satisfactory infor-
nation as 10 the ideas Of the investigators,
who seemed 10 be completely in the air.
The attorney finally said he would study
the various bills proposed for tho investiga-
ton Of the money trust" In order to ascer-
tain, il possible. the task confronted by the
committee and its counsel Following this
research work, the attorney suggested that
