DEBATE IN SENATE Is PRO-
CROSSING WITH UNUSUAL
SPEED.
Now Believed II VIII Become a
Law Before Time for the
Christmas Recess.

WASHINGTON. ID. c. Dec. S.
with the debate on the currency bill
under way in earnest, the Democratic
Senate leaders tonight grew optimist.
ic and expressed the belief that the
measure would be passed well before
the Christmas holidays. Some of the
administration supporters even de-
clared they hoped for a final vote on
the bill before the Senate adjourned
next Saturday night. and It was con.
sidered practically certain that Con
gress would be In a position to take
the usual holiday recess from about
December 20 to January >.
The currency debate progresses ran.
idly to-day and cleared the atmosphere
materially.
AT to-nights session Senator Weeks
reply 10 Senator Swanson resulted in
free-for-all discussion OF the meas
ure on both sides OF the chamber.
No disposition 10 delay or unduly
prolong debate was evidenced on the
Republican side.

lures of the proposed currency devils.
Ion Legislation developed in the sen.
ate today during the speech OF Sen
ator Nelson, one of the Republican
committee members, who helDed in
the preparation OF the hill submitted
by the Hitchcock faction of the sen.
ate committee.
Democratic senators forgot party
divisions and drifted over in Repub-
lican chairs, and throughout the af-
ternoon the debate resembled a com
mittee conference. Senator Nelson
/ advocated the adoption of many. of
the important features OF the Hitch
cock bill and declared the Owen draft
and the Glass bill. which passed the
house. were defective.
Public ownership of the stock OF
the proposed regional reserve banks
would greatly strengthen the banking
system of the country, Senator Mel.
son said. by bringing new banking
capital into existence. He objected
10 the double liability features OF the
owen I'LL, as applied 10 the stock
holders OF the regional reserve banks
Stockholders of local banks are held
under double liability. he said. and
to hold them 10 that liability again
in the REGIONAL reserve banks would
impose too great a burden upon them.
