Nof 20 Breach II Nc Caucus
Democratic Leader Underwood, Of
the house, said today regarding the
prospect Of currency legislation that
80 far as he was concerned there was
no idea of bringing up the question
1t the Democratic caucus of the house
June 25th.
Mr. Underwood by no means shares
the presidents optimism as 10 the
success of the Administrators cur
rency revision program az this session
OF congress This much was evident
after a long conference between the
president and Mr.. Underwood, on the
currency situation at the White
House this afternoon.
President Wilson Is confident IL VIII
sbe possible to press the currency meas
,ire upon which he and his advisers
have reached a practical agreement
through both houses at this session
Mr.. Underwood. on the other hand,
considers the advisability of revising
the currency laws at this session as
FnflFPiN uncertain anu uf43tNNH NttA~
gress will keep its mind upon on this
question for a considerable time to
come.
Full Procedure.
Representative Underwood Informed
the president that the house expect
ed that the fun Legislative procedure
would be introduced in the house and
that long continued public hearings on
IT will be held by the committee on
banking and currency. He does not
believe the bill will be written and in
troduced In the house, or that the
president will read his currency mes
sage TO the house until sometime next
week.
The opinion Is growing among the
presidents close friends that he has
not determined 10 adopt the same atti-
tude toward the currency bill which
he assumed in pushing the free wool
and sugar schedules of the tariff bill
At his regular conference with the
newspaper correspondents this morn
ing the president expressed the wish
that the country should know that the
bill which he has decided 10 approve.
liz 'tthe genuine result Of common
council" and that he personally, has
not assumed all responsibility OF
drafting it. He said he had given hrs
attention to the main lines which the
bill should follow, and had left mat
tiers of phrsseology and detail TO those

street car lines radiating throughout
the city, or to as many of them as pos
sible; capabiiity for further expansion
and a location as near the center OF
the city as practical"
Colonel .Burgwyn goes thoroughly
into details to show that the Main
street station admirably fulfils all
these requirements for serviceable
and satisfactory union station in a
pre-eminent degree He further
shows that it would be physically
easy for all the roads not now using
the station itself would have to be
additional trackage, and that while
the sttaion itself would have TO be
enlarged to meet the requirements,
there is ample ground in the vicinity
for that purpose, and as the cost OF
enlargement would be borne jointly
by all the roads, the outlay would be
uncomfortable.
Would Sidetrack Richmond.
Chairman Il. c. Laird, of the COM
mittee, was emphatic yesterday In
the statement that the construction Of
a station in the West End as pro-
posed by the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potonaer would virtually
sidetrack Richmond, and would not
only injure business interests gem
orally. but work great hardship to
the travelling public. Mr.. Laird stated
that neither the committee nor the
