Chairman Owen, One of the
Drafters of the Measure,
Declares Against IL
Reserve Banks
WILL RECOMMEND
IMPORTANT CHANGES
Other Democratic Members
On Committee Also Fa-
vor Amendments

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Unexpected
developments in regard to currency re-
form legislation in the senate today
President Wilson's plans for the pas
sage of a currency bill at this session
of congress.
At a conference of democratic MEM
bers of the senate currency committee,
Chairman Owen, who has been consid-
cred one of the original trainers of the
bill, now before the democrats of the
house, made it clear to his associates
that he was opposed to several features
OF the bill, including the plan for
twelve regional reserve banks, and
that he would recommend important
changes in the measure.
The results of the senate conference
have been to leave the currency situa-
ton entirely open tonight, SO far as
the senate's probable action Is con-
cerned. Senator owen did not suggest
a definite plan to his colleagues, but
said he was opposed to the regional re-
serve bank plan; to the proposal to
compel all national banks to enter the
new federal system and to other fea-
lures of the bill as 1t was introduced
by Chairman Glass of the house cur
rency committee.
The attitude of the democrats on the
senate committee, including Senators
Hitchcock, O'Gorman and Reed, is such
as to indicate that there will be ma
terial changes in the administration
measure, If not complete remodeling
of it, before it comes before the senate
for action.
He said there never would be presi-
dent who would appoint federal re-
serve board lacking in ability and in
tegrity. Mr.. Palmer said the bill would
increase the amount of the reserves to
meet expanding business and would
prevent the contraction of credit
Representative Eagle of Texas, in
surgent member of the house COM
mittee, introduced substitute for the
administration currency bill, measure
to provide 100000 900 of United States
notes, to be deposited by the United
States with national banking associa-
tions under certain stipulated con-
ditions.

whole question should be reopened.

by the former ruling. but he announced
his sympathy with the effort to secure
a reopening of the matter.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Sec
retary of the Treasury Macveagh and
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Ma
gel, members Of President Taft's cabi-
net, made the famous three secretary"

Ing the contents OF sugar and water

Mr.. Highlands CaudiGacy.

The Charleston Mail publishes the
following editorial comment on the
candidacy of Virgil l.. Highland, or
this city, for the United States SEN
atorship.
While the announcement OF the
Hon. Virgil L. Highland, of Har-
rison county, that he is receptive
candidate for United States sena-
torial honors, occasioned some sur
prise in Charleston yesterday, there
were many kind words heard
of the gentleman and his ambition.
Mr.. Highland has long been one of
the hardest working and most eff
fective party leaders in his section
of the state. He is successful bust
ness man, man of high intelli-
gence, and one of the most
thoroughly likable Republicans who
has had to do with every campaign
of recent years in West Virginia.
Should he perchance be honored
with the senatorial toga, we feel
sure that he would serve his country
and his state in a thoroughly salts
factory manner. Mr.. Highland was
for a number OF years secretary or
the Republican state committee ana
has rendered very effective service
to the party in every county. He Is
one of C'arksburg's leading citizens,
has done much to build up the In
dustrial interests of that section of
the state and is looked upon as a
Republican who has very bright
political. future ahead of him.

That there should be better labor
