DISAGREE ON PLAN
OF CURRENCY BILL
Financier and Senators Argue
on Rediscounting When
Measure Is Law.

That the National Banks will avoid
rediscount by contracting their loans,
for year more after the enactment
of the Administration currency bill, was
the opinion given the Senate Banking
Committee by Charles p. Blinn, jr.,
president of the Massachusetts, Bankers
Association, and of the members of the
recent Bankers conference at Chicago.
You cannot change the fixed habit of
the business in a day, or even complete
ly in a year" he said when Senator
Pomerene challenged the financiers in
tention. "Rediscounting has come to be
looked upon as a sign of weakness in a
bank the impression will have to be
gradually educated out of the bankers
minds. no matter how favorable condi-
tions you may offer in this legislation to
make rediscounting popular"
The banks have already begun con-
tracing their loans" declared Senator
Hitchcock
Pomerene took this move as an act of
hostility to the Administration currency
plan.
Blinn went at great length into the
Comptroller's reports to prove that the
New York banks did not tie up the re-
serves Of the country banks at the time
of the panic of 1907. He showed that
the percentage of reserves in the West
ern cities was much higher than in New
York on the worst days Of that panic.
and that even the country banks had
more cash in their vaults then than
they have now. This was a surprise to
Senator Nelson. who had contended that
the Western bakns' money deposit in
New York was held fast in Wall street
Arbitrary control of the discount rate
by the Federal reserve banks was the
one point in the bill against which Bhnn
made the most determined attack.
Fou should not try to regulate the
rate arbitrarily, as you will do when
YOU allow these reserve banks to go into
the open market and buy commercial
paper" he declared. The rate should
be left to the natural law of supply and
demand"
DO you not think that the exercise of
power by the bank of England TO regu-
late the discount rate is beneficial"
asked Senator Shafroth.
Yes" Blinn replied. but the market
there is the paper of foreign nations. as
well as British commercial paper The
conditions are different"

u. P. TO CUT. JUICY
MELON IS REPORT
Sixteen Per- Cent Cash Dividend
to Be Supplemented by Slice
on B. & O. Common. ~.

NEW YORK. Sept a6.-An apparently
authentic report of just what the Union
Pacific melon is going to be was cir
culated this morning, TO the effect that
there would be Is per cent cash divi-
dend, plus distribution of 17h per
cent in Baltimore and Ohio common.
1t was generally said by brokers that
ii this is the correct distribution plan,
ii carries with it the prospect of re-
Guced dividends on the Union Pacific
stock, to or or perhaps even s per
cent. 1t Is sad that the directors of
the Union Pacific have been anxious to
get away from the SO per cent distri-
Luton for some time, under the theory
that this hugh rate of dividend made
the railroad a shining mark for popular
attack, which in turn s thought likely
to make action by the Interstate Com
Carce Commission more likely.
1nterboro Rapid Transit made a
strong statement this morning. showing
an increase In gross revenue or $15,65i,
decrease in operating expenses of $35.-
$50. a net increase of $510l7. with an in
crease In surplus of $54,156. Chicago and
Northwestern's statement was not so
good, showing An increase in operating
income Of s26s.Sll. but net decrease in
income Of S1S7, ,476.
1t was announced today that the New
Haven had placed. a contract for steel
uOOTS lOt lU cars, WNlc the SNlcdSO
and Northwestern was asking bids for
$500 steel gondolas, and. the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburgh was also in
the market
The most peculiar movement of the
day. was thought to be Peoples Gas of
Chicago, which, instead Of advancing
on the announcement of the increased
dividend rate and the close of the alli-
ance with the electric company, dropped
off smartly. Opening u down, at lbs
fiat, the stock declined to 1854.
Union was The strong stock, opening
a up, at 15sh and advancing TO 1904.

House to Consider Bill
Aimed at "Beef Trust

The Adamson bill. prohibiting the in
terstate shipment ofcaives and designed
to increase the meat supply and to hit
the Beef trust" will be given early
consideration by the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
The author of the bill Is the chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Committee
and II is regarded as significant that
he put in the rleasure following an at.
tack upon the Beef trust in the House
late yesterday bv Congressman Kinkead
of New Jersey. That the Adamson COM
mittee and the House are In the mood
to take up the question of shortage
and high prices of meat Is apparent.
CONGRESSMAN Adamson's bill provides a
fine Of $50 to 500 or one years imprison-
ment, or both, for violations.
