AGRICULTURAL AMENDMENT
Both Sides Claim Victory in New
Provision.

Both Sides Claim Victory in New
Provision.
Washington, Aug. 25.-An agricul-
tural currency amendment to the ad-
ministration currency bill was adopted
by the house Democratic caucus today.
After several preliminary skirmishes In
which other amendments were beaten,
the caucus without a dissenting vote
adopted an amendment, sponsored both
by the 'insurgent" contingent and the
banking and currency committee to put
paper based on agricultural products
on the same basis as commercial pa
per for banking purposes. The amend
ment, the result Of many conferences
and concurred in by administration
leaders and those unsuccessfully seek
ing other amendments, read:
Upon the endorsement Of any mem
ber bank, any Federal reserve bank,
may discount notes and bills OF ex-
change arising out of commercial
transactions, that is, notes and bills OF
exchange issued or drawn for agricul-
tural, Industrial or commercial pur-
poses or the proceeds Of which have
been used or may be used for such pur-
poses, the Federal reserve board to
have the right to determine or define
the character of the paper thus eligible
for discount, within the meaning OF
this act. But such definition shall not
include notes or bills issued or drawn
for the purpose Of carrying or trading
in stocks. bonds or other investment
securities, nor shall anything herein
contained, be construed to prohibit
such notes and bills of exchange. Sc
cured by staple agricultural products
or other goods, wares or merchandise
from being eligible for such discount.
Notes and bills admitted to dis
count under the terms Of this para
graph must have a maturity Of not
more than 90 days"
1--WE have won all we contended for, :"
was the comment Of Representative
Neeley Of Kansas, in charge Of the OPP
position to the bill.
1.-The Glass amendment" added Rep
resentative Henry, Of Texas, "comes
practically to the amendment I had
advocated during the last three
months"
""The rediscount section as thus
amended" replied Chairman Glass,
docs not comprehend single one OF
the wild and absurd suggestions which
had been proposed. Mr.. Henry sur
rendered solely and simply because he
was beaten. He jumped after the
boat left the wharf"

The Atlanta jury which had been
on the case since July %, on yesterday
afternoon found a verdict Of guilty in
the case of Leo M. Frank, charged with
the murder of Mary Phagan in the
pencil factory of which he was super
intendent, and in which he was en-
ployed on April 26. Atlanta has been
stirred up on the case ever since the
murder was committed, and since
Frank not only had money himself;
but had rich connections, a long array
Of lawyers was employed, and there
has been done much crooked work of
a sensational nature. Thomas B. Fell
der, the crook who figured so notori-
ously in the South Carolina liquor
graft cases, was mixed up in the case
in an attempt to manufacture testi-
mony; but was exposed and discredit-
ed The only direct testimony against
Frank was that of negro sweeper
names James Conley; but this testi-
, mony was so thoroughly and complete
ly backed by circumstantial evidence
as to leave no reasonable doubt. Dur
ing all the weary weeks through which
the trial dragged, the public has been
tremendously interested, and because
the newspapers published every detail,
there was little chance for anything to
get away When 1t came time for the
Jury to return a verdict, the court
house was cleared of everything ex-
cept newspaper men and court officials
as a precaution against possible de-
monstration. BY agreement Of counsel
the prisoner was left in his cell. When
the verdict was announced the great
crowd of people surrounding the court
house set up a mighty yell that lasted
for many minutes. The crowd cheered
the presiding judge when he came out,
| and took the solicitor on their shoul-
ders and gave him triumphal process
sion. Frank will appeal the case to the
supreme court.

and in this event it Is believed that the
members of the court of appeals will
refuse to sit with the senate on trial of
the charges involved In the impeach-
ment If this happens there can be no
convening Of the impeachment court
which under the constitution of the
state of New York must be made up of
the members Of the senate and the
court of appeals. 1t is generally un-
derstood Of course, that this whole
thing has grown out of the efforts of
Mr.. Murphy, the Tammary boss, to
control Governor Sulzer, Nd be the
whole thing, and Mr.. Sulz RS determi-
nation not to recognize any boss other
than the people of New York under the
limitations Of his oath to uphold and
defend the constitution of the state

course, cannot be predicted with a
great deal of certainty; but the senti-
ment of the country at large is grow
ing stronger and stronger on the side
of Governor SulZer.

accompanied by her husband and faith

Of Identifying the negro. Solicitor Hill
and Sheriff White arranged with the

tive from the first, and picked out the
negro from the bunch with unerring
instinct and positively.

At largely attended conference of
bankers held in Chicago last week a
number of proposed amendments to the
Democratic currency bill were agreed
upon, and they have since been sub
mitted. Information, however, is that
none Of the proposed amendments will
be accepted at the present time,
though the senate may give serious
consideration to some of them. 1t de-
veloped at the Chicago conference that
leading bankers hold different views on
the proposed pending bill, some OF
them insisting that certain provisions
will be ruinous. while others think that
these same provisions are the very
thing.

It is to be presumed that Messrs
Hubbard Bros. have taken notice OF
the fact that cotton advanced from As
to 81 points last week According to
their recent idea Of it, the downward
tendency was due to the demoralizing
influence of the Wilson administration
and according to the general public's
view Of the matter, the upward ten
dency of the past week has been large
ly because of the terrific drought in
Oklahoma and Texas. In our opinion
pending tariff and financial legislation
is having about as much influence on
cotton prices as the dynamite dis
charges on the Panama caEal are hav-
ing on the question as to whether DR.
Cook was the first man to reach the
north pole. The heavy decrease ir
comparative receipts is what is doing
the business.

The effect of that statewide road
working picnic in Missouri last week
will be good. 1t is estimated that the
value of the road work accomplished
during the two days of popular digging
was close to one million dollars: but
it would be difficult to get at that un-
less there was an average CT 250,O0O
men working during both days, and
their work would have to 80 down at
81 a day, each. This figure would be
rather high, unless along with the men
there was considerable horsepower and
machinery. But whatever the actual
value of the work during last week, the
ultimate value would count up many
millions. These men who turned out
en- the roads with more or less enthu-
siasm at the call of the governor, will
hardly continue to answer every future
call; but they will be more ready to
pay taxes with which to hire substi-
tutes, and there Is no estimating the
ultimate value Of the novel idea.

There was another South Carolina
and Massachusetts debate in the sem
ate yesterday, except that it was Rhode
Island instead Of Massachusetts,, and
the question was which state was most
greedy and selfish toward cotton mill
labor, rather than which was not pa
trietic and loyal to the Union. Sena-
tor Smith spoke for South Carolina
and Seantor Lippitt spoke for Rhode
Island Senator Smith assailed foreign
labor in New England, and Senator
Lippitt assailed child labor in the
south.

It seems that the Tammany game Is
to put over a candidate by hoodwink-
ing and swindling the people, and If
the man who was put over shows a
disposition to cultivate loyalty to the
people, the folks who put him over try
to force him into line by giving the
whole thing away. That looks like
blackmail reduced to fine art; but
even things like that work out in time.
