GETS
BEHIND MONEY
MEASURE
In Conference He Proposes Party
Caucus as Last Resort to
Save Glass-0wen Bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 6.-President
Wilson to-day decided that the cur
rency situation could be allowed to
drag no longer. In conference with
Senator Simmons he gave orders to
that effect, and it is believed that a
party caucus will be called just as
soon as the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency shows that 1t
is definitely opposed to the main fea-
lures OF the Glass Owen measure.
There is no reason to expect that
the Democrats on the floor of the
Senate will support a bill which a
majority OF the Democrats on the
banking and currency committee re-
fuses to support" said Senator Sim
mons after leaving the White House,
pointing out that the bill now is be-
ing remodeled radically by a COM
bination of minority of Democrats
on the committee and the Republican
members.
Senator Simmons took word back
to the Senate from President Wilson
that he was in favor of calling a.
caucus as a last resort to save the
GIass-OWen measure.
The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee to-day by a vote of 7 to s
adopted an amendment to the pend
ing currency bill providing that the
stock of the Federal reserve banks
shall be offered to the public for a
period of sixty days, and that the
banks shall underwrite the subscrip-
tions and take whatever amount the
public does not purchase The reso-
luton also provides that the banks
shall name four directors and the
Government five directors on each re-
gional reserve board
This gives the Government control
of the entire system, the Glass Owen
bill providing that the banks SHALL
name six of the nine directors.

ture was to make 1t at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nova

so cents.
Don't stay grayi Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkenod
your hair, as 1t does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, your ha r
becomes beautifully dark, thick and

Company while en- route from a New
York bank to Savannah have found
clews at the New York end that may

tack by mobs on any particular con-
tingent. The troops as they arrive at
the city limits will be held until

The placing of militiamen on the
streets does not mean the establish

Governor Ralston, but martial law
may be necessitated later, It was

Many chauffeurs and Transfers
were heard to declare on the streets
to-day that they would use their We
hicles to block any attempt to move
street cars, and II cars moved II
would be over dead bodies and
wrecked vehicles. These expressions
emanated only from the more radical
sympathizers Of the striking car men.
The fact that the Governor actually
had called the militia did not gain
general publicity during the forenoon,
and there was no outward indica-
tions OF undue excitement.
Several labor union meetings last
night passed resolutions levying as
sessments to financially aid the
street car men.
At a mass meeting at the Colonial
Theater last night leaders OF the labor
men implored their men not TO
break the law. They told the men
that their case was now in the hands
Of the people. and that they would
lose the respect of the people if they
resortsd to acts OF violence to gain
their ends.
