OWEN FAvORS BILL,
CALLS PRESS IN ERROR
Not Opposed to Cur
rency Measure Issues
Statement Giving Views.

Under. his own signature Senator
Owen. chairman Of the Senate committee
on banking and currency defined his at
titude toward the administration currency
program. correcting misapprehension as
to his friendliness to the bill reported
In the House of Representatives from
committee. He says:
THE inference of the press that I was
opposed to the bill which was prepared
by the chairman Of the committee on
banking Of the House of Representatives
and myself and simultaneously introduced
by US In both houses has no justification.
II am strongly in favor of the bill.
have vigorously defended it heretofore by
arguments appearing In three Senate
documents and on the floor Of the Senate,
and hope to see 1t passed promptly. I
expect to do my utmost to pass it.
1t would be stupid to say that it is
impossible to improve it in any particu-
lars, but the long debate in the House
caucus. by able men. shows how diff
cult It has been to make or even suggest
very important improvements in it. The
bill mobilizes reserves, provides elastic
currency under government. control and
releases hundreds Of millions of funds
now boarded as legal reserves or held as
current Treasury funds. It will greatly
help to give stability to our national in
dustry, commerce and finance and inau-
gurate a new era of prosperity
Drop Paper Money.
At conference of the democratic mem
bers Of the banking and currency COM
mittee Of the Senate yesterday afternoon
a suggestion was considered by Senator
Shafroth to drop all present forms OF
paper currency except the silver certifi-
Gates. and replace them with Treasury
notes secured by 80 per cent reserve
fund and another by Senator Reed, to
have the Treasury issue money directly
to the banks. under careful restrictions.
Chairman Owen opposed suggestion
for the adoption Of a plan similar to
that embraced in the Lea bill, now in the
Senate. which would amplify the present
A,drich-vreeland emergency currency law.
He insisted this would commit the demo-
cratic party to the Aldrich-Vreeland bill.
and would be politically Objectionable;
ond that 1t would contemplate the issu-
&C, Of notes by the banks. form of cur
rencv that he strongly opposes.

TO DEM0u|SH BIG dixie
Preliminary Step Toward the
Final Work on the Pam
: anna Canal.
.A.sI.,.-1.

Another important step toward the
final completion Of the Panama canal
will be taken next Monday, when prep
arations will be made to blow up the
heavy earth dixie almost a mile below
the Mirafores locks. That dixie, which
IL crossed by a construction railroad, ts
the only barrier between the Mirafores
locks and tidewater on the Pacific
ocean, distant about three miles.
There will be nothing spectacular about
the destruction of that dixie. It's base
will be perforated by a number of
holes heavily charged with dynamite.
Plan. for the Explosion.
For Ave days fresh water from the
Rio Grande diversion. one Of the rivers
in the Canal Zone, will be turned into
the canal prism. and only after the wa
ter has almost reached the level of the
sea water along the other side Of the
dixie will the explosion take place.
Two monster dredges, the Mole and
the Corozal, already are awaiting their
chance. AS soon as the charge is fired
they will attack the debris, and in the
course OF two or three days will clear
a channel through the dixie sufficient
to admit the dredges and vessels of ten
or twelve feet draft as far as Mirafores
locks.
Requires Month to Complete.
A mouths time will be required. how
ever, to make the channel the full
width Of the canal prism and deep
enough to pass battleship.
After the destruction of the Mirafiores
dixie there will remain only two OBJ
structions to the use of the canal in the
shape of dikes, one at Gamboa, about
third of the way through from the
Atlantic, and the one used as rail-
road crossing at the Gatun locks.

4 election. -.-er.
With. negotiations Between
Provisional President, Huerta and
President Wilson's envoy, John
Lind, apparently at a deadlock.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
today introduced in the Senate a
resolution requiring the President
to take necessary steps to place
United States troops in Mexico to
jprotect American lives and prop
erty, such step to be decreed by
the Senate as, in no way an un-
friendly act toward Mexico. No
action was taken on the resolu-
ton.
The introduction of the resolu-
tion by Senator Penrose for the
stationing of American troops as
"constabulary" in Mexico and an
appropriation of $25,ooo,ooo for
use by the President in carrying
out protection to Americans was
followed by a general demand on
the part of the republicans, sec
onded by Chairman Bacon of the
foreign relations committee, for
cessation of all debate, and the
support of President Wilson in
his efforts to peacefully settle dis
turbed conditions.
The emphatic and concerted
declaration from senators of both
parties of their confidence in the
wisdom and good faith of Presi-
dent Wilson's efforts came as an
answer to suggestions carried in
morning dispatches from Mexico
that President Huerta had en-
bodied in his note to President
Wilson the belief that the Presi-
dent had a divided Congress and
a divided public opinion behind
him.
"Duty to Uphold President"
''Offcials Of the Mexican government
are now saying that the sentiment Of the
President and the Senate differs with ref
erence to what should be done In Mexico
said Senator Sutherland, republican. 1T

should develop. It is oud duty to uphold

The invitation to make an exhibit of

Controllers Views.

Concluding, the controller states:
THE appropriation must be viewed
as for needs that ceased to exist by
force of the act OF March 4, 1913. to
wit, the needs of the old excise board.
By virtue of the provisions Of the act
creating q new board and providing
for employees to be appointed by 1t, the
ployes provided for under 1t were shorn
of place and power. and while the serv-
ices rendered by them since the taking
effect of the law ought, In justice. to
be paid for. / must advise you that
payment out Of the appropriation in
question Is not authorized"

Raise Salary Question.

AS the new board had not been appoint
ed by July 1. employees Of the old board
continued in office for the purpose OF
handling routine matters. while the Com
Inissioners, through Auditor Alonzo Twee-
dale. put up to Controller Downey the
question of whether they were entitled to
the salaries provided for In the regular
District appropriation act.
In his decision the controller states
that the new excise board. by the terms
of the Jones' Works act, is authorized to
appoint clerk and an inspector. and
that there is nothing to justify the con-
clusion that the employees Of the old
board were continued for the new board
by the appropriation In question.
1T would be giving greater effect to
the appropriation than to the excise law
which prescribes who shall be the en-
ployes of the new excise board" he
points out.

DISTRICT WITHOUT
EXCISE OFFICIALS
Ruling of Controller Downey
Today "Scraps" Patched
Up Machinery.
OLD employees OUSTED;
NO SALARIES ALLOWED
Nobody Authorized to Receive Fees
for Liquor Licenses and Situation
Admittedly Serious.

The last vestige Of the District govern
ment's patched-up machinery for the han.
ding of excise matters was wiped out OF
existence today, when Controller of the
Treasury Downey handed down a decision
legislating out of Office all employees OF
the old excise board.
Those who lose their Jobs are Roger
Williams, chief clerk, who has been in the
service thirty-five years; C. 8. Cotton,
clerk, who has been a District employe
for nineteen years; D. W. Fleming, in.
spector Of saloons, and w. j. North, mes
senger.
Since July 1. when the excise board
went out of existence, the four employees
Of that body, headed by Mr. Williams,
have remained ION the job handling
numerous routine matters. Under the
controllers decision they are required to
retire Immediately fr0En the service with
out receiving compensation for the two
months work.
Situation Is Serious.
The situation admittedly is one OF the
most serious that the new Commission
ers have had to face. With no excise
tions for liquor license renewals, which
under the new law must be nled by not
later than September /. the District heads
must meet a question which involves the
collection Of more than $4OO.OOO of the
annual revenues Of the District.
The Commissioners this afternoon
stated that they have not decided how
they will meet the emergency. They
,<A3 taA
everything within their power to devise
means whereby liquor dealers who de-
sire to file applications for license re-
required by law, may do so.
Few Applications Filled.
There are now 49s retail and 1913
wholesale liquor establishments In the
District. OF these only ninety-two re-
tail places have applied for license re-
newaas. while only twenty-five whole
sale houses have put in similar appli-
Bnsil provision has been made for ac-
cepting application for renewals 1t will
be impossible for the District to receive
the money required to be deposited with
applications. 50 that the financial aspect
OF the question, as far as the districts
interest are concerned. is serious one.
The question put up to the controller
of the Treasury as to the status Of the
employees of the old excise board grew
out Of the fact that Congress, in the cur
rent District appropriation act, provided
for the pay Of these officials, notwith-
standing the board was legislated out of
existence with the passage Of the Jones'
Works excise law, which became efrec-
tive July I.
