ice course was served. The colors
used here were pink and white and

pOintees Was Made.

Publication of correspondence be-
tween the Richmond Bureau of Munich
pal Research and Mayor-elect w. J.
Robbins concerning the adoption Of
the merit system for the appointment
of all city employees below the rank
of cabinet" members, was made pub
lie today.
The request for such action made by
William Dudley Foulke, N. G. Heironi-
mus and Timothy Nicholson in behalf
of the Research Bureau, was made No
vember 20, prior to Mr.. Robbins an
nouncements.
In this letter the suggestion was
made that before Mr.. Robbins appoint
ed any of his cabinet officers to ascer-
tain whether they would comply with
the state law and the platform of the
Progressive party of Indiana. provid-
ing for the selection of all minor city
employees by competitive system Of
appointment.
Robbins Sends Reply.
Whether the mayor-elect complied
with this suggestion before appointing
his department chiefs is not known.

Gently contained the names of two
men who do not rank as cabinet mem
bers, Bert Overman, chief clerk of the
light plant and Howard Gluys, chief
engineer of the light plant. These men,
however, are recognized as efficient
city employees and their reappoint-
ments were in recognition of their SER
vices for the city.
In replying to the Bureaus letter of
November 20, Mr.. Robbins, under date
of December 8, wrote:

VETERAN POLICEMAN
FIGHTS LIQUOR EVIL
Cleans Up "Goosetown." For.
merry Most Notorious Dis
trict of Richmond.

Grovelle Bundy. the only colored
man on the Richmond police force.
today made the charge that political
enemies were responsible for the re-
port current on the streets yesterday
that he was 10 resign from the de-
partment and was an applicant for a
liquor license.
Bundy mentioned three colored men
whom, he said. would like to hold
position on the police force. Fred Nc
Kenny. driver of an ice wagon: Harry
Taylor. a barber. and Chester Sharp. a
barber.
The veteran officer. however, did not
charge that any one of these men
were responsible for the report that
he was an applicant for liquor H.
cense. He merely assigned the respon-
sibility for this rumor, which he
branded as absolutely false, to "politi-
cal enemies"
Not in Political Fight.
Bundy took no part in the recent mu-
nicipal campaign. He was appointed to
the police force over twenty years ago
as a Republican. The three colored
men who are reported to be applicants
for positions on the force are said TO
have supported the Progressive ticket
last fall
Patrolman Bundy has been one OF
the most efficient members OF the po-
lice department and a great part OF his
time has been spent in the Riverdale
district, formerly known as the Goose
town beat" which several years ago
was the toughest" police district In
Richmond.
He performed his duties in that dis
trict in such an effective manner that
he soon made IL a most unhealthy Sec
ton of town for criminals. From trans
forming a tough" district, known as
''Goosetown," to an orderly, residen-
tial section, now known as Riverdale.
Officer Bundy deserves a great part OF
the credit.
Fights Liquor.
Bundy feels keenly the report that he
is planning to establish a saloon, for
he says he has not touched a drop OF
liquor in thirty-two years. In denying
the charge that he is considering re-
signing from the police force Bundy
said today that he desired TO continue
as a police officer and that he had
faith enough in the new administra-
ton to believe that no man who has
done his duty in the past and is now
doing it need fear the loss of his po-
sition."
This feeling of security is not shar-
ed by several of his brother officers,
and they are anxiously awaiting some
action on the part OF the new board
of police commissioners.
There have been reports circulated
that few police officers will be dis
missed after the new administration
comes in, but the new board members
maintain a discrete silence on this
question

Country Faces Most Pros
porous Era in History,
Says A. ID. Gayle.
SEEKER SEES GOOD
IN NEW MEASURE
George Gates Holds Legisla-
ton Will Be Benefit to
Every State.

Richmond Bankers as a whole are
well pleased with the currency bill
passed by the Senate yesterday and
now awaiting concurrence by the
house.
The bill is an excellent one and
will rank as one of the greatest legis-
lative acts in the history of the Amer
lean republic" declared A. ID. Gayle.
president of the First National bank.
"Seventy-fve per cent of it is good.
the rest can be improved upon" was
the way William Seeker. assistant
cashier of the Second National bank,
described the currency bill.
The currency bill passed by the
senate yesterday is a step in the right
direction, and it will be a beneficial
measure. Its worst defect is its pro-
vision for political control of the fed
eral reserve board" said George Gates,
president of the Union National bank.
Bill Meets Appreciation.
The opinions expressed by these
three representative bankers reflects
the views of practically all local rep
resentatives of banking interests.
Mr.. Gayle unqualifiedly expressed
the opinion that when the currency
bill becomes operative, money panics
in the United States will become
things of the past, and, he said, he
believed this country was now on the
Threshold of the most prosperous era
of its history.
The passage of the currency bill
by congress was a powerful blow at
stock gambling and powerful agency
for the promotion OF legitimate busi-
ness" said the First National bank
executive. Probably there will be
trade depressions in the future. which
are good things occasionally, but such
panic as we had in 1907, purely a
financial panic, when you could not
get a cent on the best collateral in
the country, because Wall street had

HOUSE MAY DELAY
CURRENCY MEASURE
Rep. Glass Predicts a Tussle
Over Senate Amendments
in Conference.
PRESIDENT is ANXIOUS
Wants Law to Become Effec-

L. S. Trade.
PRESIDENT is ANXIOUS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20-The ad-
ministration currency bill. fresh from
victory in the senate, where il was
passed last night % TO 81. was laid
before the house today, Chairman
Glass OF the house conference com
mittee moved at once that the house
disagree TO all senate amendments
and send the bill to conference.
Minority leader Mann asked Glass
about the prospects for an immediate
agreement in conference. Mr.. Glass
replied, Il say frankly do not see any
chance for an immediate agreement"
You do not think you will be able
to report back to the house late to-
day." asked Mann.
No Action by Monday.
81 certainly do not" replied Glass.
who declared that with practically the
full membership of the two banking
and currency committees present. the
conference will resemble a town
meeting.
Rep. Murdoch asked Mr. Glass il
there was a chance for an agreement
Monday He said he did not know.
Glass said he wanted to hold out no
false hopes of an early get-together of
the two houses.
After much argument Rep. Under
wood finally obtained unanimous con-
sent to take the bill from the speak
er's table and consider it, and Rep.
Murray of Oklahoma made the motion
that instead of disagreeing to the SEN
ate amendments the house should
concur in them, taking the bill as it
came over from the upper body. Be-
fore the Murray motion could be put
the entire bill as it came from the
senate was read.
The main fight in conference will
center on the most important amend.
ments adopted by the senate, includ-
ing the following:
Where Fight Will Center.
First, gradual instead of abrupt
change of the reserve.
Second, the insurance of deposits OF
| member banks.
Third, compulsory rediscount of the
paper OF member banks by the region
al reserve institutions.
Fourth, the extension to 100 days
of the maturity of certain paper avail.
able for rediscount in rural communi-
ties.
Fifth permission to member banks
to make farm mortgage loans for five
years in limited amounts.
Sixth. an increase in the gold re
serve behind the proposed currency
from 331s to 40 per cent.
Seventh. tax on depletion of gold
reserve below the 40 per cent mark.
With the bill assured of ultimate
passage there is intense interest in
the makeup of the federal reserve
board.
Owing to the haste OF the white
house to get the new currency sys
tenn in operation in order to help busi
ness to readjust itself to the new tar.
iff law, the appointment of the organi
Zation committee is expected early
next week. This committee will have
power to designate regional reserve
bank cities and fix the limit of the
several reserve districts.
