Washington, Dec. 12.-The highways and byways of finance as traversed by operators on the New York stock ex- change were mapped out before the house banking and currency commit tee today in ies money trust inquiry. Frank K. StuYgis of the brokerage firm of Strong, Sturgis & company, former president and a member of the board of governors of the stock exchange, told the committee about the ways Of the street."
 Refused to Answer Question.
 The examination of MT. Sturgis by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee, bristled with technical dis cussions and involved digressions. MT. Sturgis at times insisted on lengthy digressions in answering questions and once flatly declined to answer. His counsel, John G. Milburn, interfered to preserve the calm dignity of the occa- sion.
 The testimony of MT. Sturgis brought out the following points:
 Stock Exchange Membership.
 The membership of the stock ex- change has not been increased since 1869, when it was fixed at 100. Since then the business done and the secur1- ties listed on the exchange have in creased about 50 times over. MT. Sturgis declared that an increase in membership was unnecessary, for the present membership was well able to handle the business of the public. Creditors in Exchange Only Protected.
 In a dozen recent failures. MT. Stur- gis admitted, stock exchange houses had carried with them stock owned in part by their customers. but hy- potheticated by the brokers for more than the real ownership of the broker. In such cases the proceeds of the sale of the bankrupt brokers seat on the

CONGRESSMAN BOWMAN
 UNSEATED BY THE HOUSE.
Resolution Adopted Declaring He Was Elected by Corrupt Practices.

Washington, Dec. 12-Representative Charles c. Bowman of the Eleventh Pennsylvania district was unseated by the house today by the passage, 1bS to 11S, of a resolution declaring that cor rupt practices had been used in his election in 1910. At the same time the house refused, 1S1 to SS, to seat George R. Mclean, his democratic opponent. It was charged on the floor that he had been guilty of the same practices as were alleged against Bowman. The seat from the Eleventh district will be vacant until March 4. when it will be filled by John J. Casey, democrat, elected in November.
 The fight over the case on the floor was enlivened by a bitter passage be- tween Representatives A. M. Palmer and J. R. Farr, both of Pennsylvania. MT. Palmer had referred to the charge that the influence of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad had been used for Bowman.
 "The gentleman must not forget the efforts which that corporation through its officials made for him at his solici- tation," observed MT. Farr, as he men, toned that MT. Palmer was a local attorney for the railroad in Pennsyl- gspia-
 Mir. Palmer replied that he was a local counsel for the Lackawanna, but declared that any statement that he had ever solicited the aid of any cor por&tIon for himself or anyone else --as ''wilful, deliberate and malicious 'slsahcod." He demanded that Farr s.ther apologize or prove his charge to he house.
 The incident ended by Representa- tive Hefiin making a point of order and Uncle Joe" Cannon counseling Representative Farr to "sit down."

METHODS OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
Creditors Inside Exchange and Not Customers Receive Pro- ceeds of Sale of Bankrupt Brokers SeatsHow Brokers Work to Create an Active Market Membership of Ex- change No Larger Now Than Forty Three Years Ago.

l exchange goes, 1t was explained, not to his customers, but to his creditors in side the exchange MT. Sturgis thought this was fair 'pd just. as it was a regulation subscribed to by the mem bers in the exchange and recognized by the public.
 Creating an Active Market.
 ''Is 1t legitimate for a member of the exchange to give an order to sell a certain amount of stock to one broker and an order to buy the same amount of the same stock to another broker?" asked MT. Untermyer.
 50 long as there is no collision and the commissions are paid. 1t is not illegitimate," said Sturgis.
 "The important point is that the brokers commission be paid?" asked the lawyer.
 "Yes, that is it."
 You know that the object of that sort of a transaction is to raise or depress the price of the stock?"
 ",The object is to create an active market
 "A market that appears to be active. you mean"
 'Yes.''
 A Moral Question, Stock Exchange
 Answer.
 MT. Untermyer sought in vain to get from Mr. Sturgis his views of the po- sition of the trading public in such a transaction with the stock at a ficti- tious figure and finally objected to the form of the witness answer.
 You are asking me a moral question and I'm answering a stock exchange question" said MT. Sturgis with a smile, and the committee laughed. The witness insisted that these transac- tions were beyond the power of the exchange for discipline so long as the commissions were paid.

New York, Dec. 12.-Wide differences in estimates on the cost to eastern roads of the increases asked for by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen will necessitate fur ther conferences and perhaps a con- siderable halt in negotiations while railroad statisticians prepare detailed figures, 1t developed tonight.

Salem. Ore, Dec.s Ex-Governor West commuted to life imprisonment today the sentence of John M. Taylor, a convict murderer, who was one of five men condemned to be hanged here to- morrow. The other four probably will be executed. Governor West had pre- viously announced he would not grant further stays in these cases, an anti capital punishment measure having been defeated at the recent election, but much pressure was brought to bear on him, it being argued that the newly enfranchised women voters should be given the opportunity to express them selves.
 The governor explained his position by saying that to permit the execu- tions would hasten the abolishment of capital punishment.
 T will abide by the wishes of the people as expressed at the recent cleo tion,'' said Governor West.
