Currency Caucus.

NuTI0MCy tduCucs
An amendment designed to make
1t clear that commercial paper based
on warehouse receipts for staple COM
modities would be accepted for re-
discount by federal reserve banks,
proposed in the administration cur
rency bill, practically was agreed to in
the house democratic caucus. The
amendment to which Chairman Glass
said the banking and currency cont
mittee would not object, was offered
by Majority Leader Underwood The
democratic leaders expressed the BE-
lief that this would satisfy the de-
mands of currency insurgents"
The re-discount provision Of the bill,
as drawn, provides that the federal
reserve board may definition shall no;
include notes or bills drawn for the
purpose of trading in or carrying
stocks, bonds or other securitiesfi''
Representative Underwood pointed
out that there was some apprehension,
in which he did not share, that the
words other securities. might be con
stituted as embracing paper issued ~
warehouse receipts for Carrying farm
ers' crops. Mr.. Glass said that this
was not the case, but that the com
mittee regarded the words as non
essential and was willing to let thero
be stricken out.
Representative Byrnes, of Soutll
Carolina, declared provisions that
paper having more than sixty days
maturity should not be discounted by
reserve banks, so limited the amount
of paper Southern banks could re-
discount that the reserve banks would
be Of no service to country Or local
banks. He explained that so per cent
Of the paper made after June \
through country or local banks, was
made to mature after October /.
The speakers today included Repre-

SEABOARD MAY
REMOVE GENERAL
HEADQUARTERS
FROM VIRGINIA TO GEORGIA
Such the Interesting Report
Circulating

Anent the removal of division head
quarters from Savannah to Americus,
which may be effected today, it is in
teresting to know that the Seaboard
system contemplates the removal OF
its general headquarters from Ports
mouth to Savannah Such at least, is
the information circulating in Ameri-
Gus.
This it would seem, would be quite
as logical as the removal of division
headquarters to Americus. Savannah
is in the center of the Seaboard's ter
ritory and eminently the place for gem
eral headquarters of the system.
The report current in Americus Is
to the effect that the Seaboard viii
erect an eight-story Office building in
Savannah and install therein its ge.,-
eral headquarters. This would bring
the officials in more immediate toucn
with the business and traffic OF this
large portion of its territory.
The seaboard's officials recognized
this advantage in ordering the remove i
of the Alabama division headquar-
ters to Americus, and may take a
more advanced step upon the line in
dicated in removing the general offices
to Georgia.

TRIAL
IS DRAWING TO
A SPEEDY CLOSE
FRANK WILL TESTIFY TODAY
Defense Introduces Charac.
ter Witness

Atlanta, Ca, August Is. - Taking
of testimony in the trial of Leo n.
Frank for the murder of of Mary
Phagan proceeded rapidly today, a.
torneys for both sides expediting g
their examination of witnesses in the
hope that the case of the defense
would be completed before night.
Several character witnesses test!-
fed for the defendant, after which a
number of other minor witnesses
were called to piece out details OF the
case.
1t was altogether good day for
Frank.
The defense has gradually gotten
back to its original plan of battle, in
centering its forces more and more
to point the guilt of Conley, rather
than specifically the innocence OF
Frank.
A Miss Carson was put on the stand
by the defense yesterday to swear
that Conley told her that he ives
drunk all the day of the crime and
did not know what had happened.
When the final speeches are made
the lawyers for the defense will
argue straight from the shoulder
that Conley killed Mary Phagan.
Today for one question they asked
witnesses designed directly to clear
Frank, they ask three designed to in
criminate Conley.

The Central is rapidly extending It's
test farms all along its lines in this
state and Alabama. The most recent
one is the Lee county test farm. which
has just been established aves mil
below Leesburg. This makes more
than dozen Of the farms already es
tablished, and 1t is the desire of the
railroad to double that number within
very short time. The total number
will likely reach about thirty or thir-
ty-fve within the next few months OF
year at the most.
The farms are being established on
a uniform scale as far as that is pos
sible. Forty acres is the usual amount
of land contained in test tract.
though this acreage may be larger Or
smaller, as circumstances may ra-
quire The farms are all established

Democrats Are Determined
To Pass Bills

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-Con-
gress will remain in extra session un-
til the regular term begins in Decem-
Der, if necessary, to dispose of tariff
and currency legislation.
This was the decision of the dem
ocratic caucus of the senate, which
adopted a resolution, declaring thai
congress should consider and deter
mine legislation concerning currency
and banking Immediately following
the passage of the pending tariff
bill. 81
The decision to keep at work until
the legislative program outlined by
President Wilson has been disposed
of, came after a motion offered By
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, that a re-
cess be taken following the passage
of the tariff bill, had been with
drawn for lack of support.
Determination to take up currency
legislation did not carry with it ap-
proval of any policy or commit the
party to any particular currency bill

Senator Simmons, chairman of the fl
nance committee, means that we
