WILSON ANXIOUS TO
REFORM CURRENCY
President, However, Would Have
Tariff Bill Take Lead in
Extra Session.

Introduction of currency legislation
in Congress during the extra session
will depend on circumstances In Con-
gress, according to advices at the White
House today. The President is still
anxious that currency matters shall
be taken up il they do not interfere
with the tariff program. but he wants
the tariff to have precedence
He has not decided definitely yet
whether he will seek the introduction of
such legislation on any particular date.
He has been warned that. by putting
currency matters before Congress to-
ward the end Of the session, he will
not obtain action because the members
VIII not care to remain longer than
absolutely necessary in the heated term
OF the summer. At the same time, such
action would disclose the Government 3
hand TO the opponents of the proposed
reforms or to advocates of other sys-
TENS than the Governments.
Willing To Show Hand.
President Wilson. however, is willing
the cards on top of the table in full
view, according to Indications at the
White House today.
He still maintains tnat tariff should
receive exclusive attention until II is
out of the way, but currency reform is
subject on which lie places strong
Importance.
He would like to have Congress take
action before it adjourns for the sum-
mer. but he has no intimation at present
as to how long the extra session will
continue. Hence, the currency measure
Is in an indefinite position.
Satisfied With Tariff Moves.
As to the progress OF tariff making.
President Wilson Is satisfied. There
have been no untoward developments in
the business situation, as far as his ad-
vices go. and II is known that he feels
that certain untoward tendencies in the
business world just at present are de-
velopments resulting from economic
rather than political reasons

awaiting noon in the nope of hearing
that the Minnesota rate decision would
be handed down, became duller than
ever. Price changes were very small
and there was no disposition to trade.
The Government desires to the Su-
preme Court to have In its possession
certain facts that have been brought
out in similar cases in the Commerce
Court This Will have the effect il is
figured, of delaying decision upon the
Minnesota case for at least year, and
extending uncertainty for that period.
There was hardly enough trading to de-
fine a tendency in the market. Steel
gained a fraction; Union remained un-
changed: Southern Pacifis gained y:
Reading lost fraction, and st. Paul
gained one. Canadian Pacific was up
q, and Copper half. General Electric
jumped a point and a half. and Guggen-
helm point. but these were exceptions.
Among the stocks that showed frac-
tional to half-point losses were Rubber,
re ssed Steel Car, Ontario and Western,
New York Central, Chesapeake, Gas,
Brooklyn. Baltimore and Ohio. SmeIters,

President Wilson believes in the
Tropriety of the appointment of W. J.
Harris. of Atlanta. Ga, to the posi-
tion of Director of the Census. He is in
accord with his critics in so far as
they call for taking the scientific de-
partments out of politics, but he does
rot feel that the Census Director falls
within this classification.
Harris has been criticised as political
appointee to a scientific department.
fhe President, however, feels that the
Census Bureau is one requiring man
with knowledge of business conditions
throughout the country. and a grasp on
shifting conditions in the general life
Of the country.
Scientific training is not the primary
consideration in such an office, accord
ing to the Presidents views. The ap-
poiptee should be a man of large views
and wide experience, with the ability to
handle large, important bureau such
Presidents way of thinking.
The appointment of Harris, ii is indi-
,ated is entirely satisfactory 10 the
President. according TO his theory OF
The position.
In other bureaus, which are strictly
scientific in their nature, the President
lays down the general principle that
the appointments should be taken out of
politics.
Concerning Prof. Willis l.. Moore's
charge that II was out of the ordinary
10 ask the resignation of head of a
scientific bureau such as the Weather

JORDAN DENIES He
BOUGHT CONTROL
Returns to City and Asserts He
Means No REIMBURSEMENT
of Local interests.

Eldridge +. Jordan. president of the
United States Trust Company, termed
as ''an erroneous statement" the report
that he had purchased control in the
Mutual Alliance Trust Company of
New York. on his return to the city
today.
Il bought only nominal amount of
stock" he said. though this in con-
nection with the holdings of the other
officers and directors a control is rep
resented"
Mr.. Jordan was elected to the board
of directors and to the vice presidency.
He declared today that the new con-
nection would in no way mean a relin-
quishment of his Washington interests.
MIR. Jordan plans to spend few days
each month in New York devoted to
the affairs of the trust company.
The new connection will mean close
mutual interest between the United
States Trust Company, the Commercial
National Bank, of which Mr.. Jordan is
vice president, and the Mutual Alliance.
The regular meeting of the Bankers
Association of the District of Columbia
will be held at the New Willard tonight
a: o'clock. The false statement bill
now before the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture, may come up for consideration
before the meeting with a view upon
the part of some members that the as
sociation should urge the enactment of
a similar law for the District of Co.
lumbia- The proposed law provides
punishment for the making of false
statements to bankers in connection
with applications for loans or discounts.
list of bonds accepted hv Washing
ton national banks as security was
furnished todav to Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury John Shelton Williams
by the Clearing House committee,
which has in charge the adjustment of
Government deposits of tax receipts in
May. Members of the committee feel
confident that 100000 will be distrib
uted amor the banks, and that this
will be permitted to be repaid In eight

made until the question of bonds to be
accepted by the Government as security
for the deposits is settled.
The demand for Washington Railway
and Electric common stock was the fea-
ture of the session of the Washington
Stock Exchange today Every Offering
from 921s up to SO was quickly snapped
up. A total of seventy-eight shares
were sold on the scale up. The quota
tons closed at $685.. The preferred
took an opposite course when called.
and 100 shares were quickly thrown
over on the initial bid of 92. The bid
was dropped to 9l1z. and twenty-eight
more shares went at that price. The
supply apparently then became exhaust
ed. for another quotation lot sold at 81
and there was no more at that figure
Capital Traction also was firm, twenty
nine shares bringing 1z3. Gas was ac-
tive at S5A4S5k, seventy-five shares
selling at the former and twenty-five
at the latter price. Only 5000 in bonds
were exchanged, Potomac consolidated
