Senator Owen Asserts Their
Fears of Currency Bill Are
GrOundless.

bill 1t was thought that the House
would consider currency while the Senate
debated the tariff, but Senator owen
hopes to have speeches on currency I'm

debate in the House To effect this pur-
pose, he will report his bill as soon as
possible, perhaps in about two weeks,
ana In every iull In the tariff debate
/ hc will try to bring the measure for
ward. In this way he hopes to shorten
the session.
Mr.. owen does not believe there will
be any hlibuster against the currency
bill. He said yesterday that the oppon-
cnts Of currency legislation would have
I full opportunity to present their objec-
tons, but that anything like a general
campaign of delay would bring political
ruin to the nilibusters
| The sentiment of country bankers
against the bill as published in the New
York Times formed the basis yesterday
of some interesting statements by Mr.
owen. Some of the objections, Mr. owen
said sprang either from Il misapprchcn-
sion of the purpose of the bill or an in
accurate knowledge Of its contents. But
! he admits the bill is still open to amend
ment Hearings will begin next week
and the committee has requested sena-
/ tors to send copies of the bill to banks
in their states, that general expires
sions and suggestions may be obtained
! Mr.. owen himself Is a country banker
! as the term is understood IN the bill
! one of the principal objections to the
| bill as voiced by the country bankers
was its provision for the rediscounting
of To-day paper Most Of the paper in
their possession they said was based on
agricultural operations and ran from six
20 nine months Answering this M-.
owen said thu bill proposed to establish
a system OF currency In the interests Of
commerce, and that banks not dealing
in short-tme paper were without the
needs which the bill was intended to
-upply
FANORS DIFFERENT METHODS.
At the same time Mr. owen suggested
that the sooner the country banks de-
,eloped a business In short-time paper
the better it would he for them and for
their communities. He said banks had
done a great deal toward encouraging
local enterprise and he thought in the
rural communities they might we'll en-

vEsUvIUs SHOOTS FLAMES.

Naples, June 9.-For the first time
since 1906 flames were observed yesterday
shooting UP from Mount Vesuvius. Three
slight earth shocks occurred prior to
this, and the uppermost crater of Nesu-
vius emitted a dence column of smoke,
which frequently showed strong rehec-
tons of flames lower down, with an occa-
sonal eruption Of fire.
Professor Mercaln director OF the OBJ
servatory, reports that the lava streams
which We're recently observed are be-
coming continuous. He expressed the
opinion last night that the seismic move
ment on Mount Vesuvius had no con-
nection with the earthquake in the Cal
abria district. although he considered
the coincidence surprising. He said the
Vesuvius eruption was due to the recent

ITALY LED THE REST.

Boston, Feb. 27. Nearly ten thou
sand more immigrants arrived at Bos-
ton last year than in 1911, according to
figures just compiled at the Local
immigration station. The total was
60, 500, as compared with 81, 076 in the
previous II months, making the year
normal one. The average immigra-
ton during the past 10 years has been
slightly more than 81 200. OF the total,
1927 were in transit to Canada.
The increase at Boston was reflected
at Portland, Me-, and Providence,
ports under jurisdiction of lmmigra-
ton Commissioner George b. Billings.
Aliens at Portland numbered 1876,
fully twice as many as in 1911 and at
Providence $500 landed, a total about
four times greater than in 1911. There
was a slight decrease at New Bedford,
1878 arriving. immigration at Provi-
dence only started in June, 1911, and
has been steadily increasing. The
Fabre line is the only one which sends
ships there,

Spanish-Americans, Syrians, Turks,
Welsh, West Indians.
Each state in the Union received its
quota of the aliens. Massachusetts
was the destination of 35, 124. The next
largest number, 372S, went to Rhode
Island; 1888 went to New York, and
Illinois received $500. More than 1000
went to California and 1884 to Penn
sylvania. Two went to South Carolina
and Kentucky each, while five were
found for Hawaii. The other states
received from three to nearly 1000.
Each alien landing at the various
ports was assessed 50 head tax. During
the year 355 were deported from Bos-
ton, II from Providence, So from Port
land and 81 from New Bedford.

In collision, which, according to the
police, resulted in damaging the ply
stefan S car to the amount of $1,000, DR..
Herbert C. Allen of III Lefferts place
was thrown to the pavement at Wash

hospital.
The accident occurred as DR.. Allen
was about to cross Fulton street in his
car. A machine, said by the police to
belong to Jacob O'Connor of 81 St
Marks avenue, came down Fulton
street at fast gait and crashed into the
side of DR.. Aliens car. After seeing
the damage, the chauffeur of the other

A. Coult in March Technical World
Magazine.
When the early prospects of large
apple crop in all sections of America
became assured in midsummer, a grow
er at Lebanon, Mo-, with an orchard of
100 acres, realized that something un-
usual would have to be done to get
more than living price for his crop.
He went to New York to solicit orders.
He had the idea that an exclusive offer
ing would command high prices, and
suggested to some of the commission
men that they try a few Individual
boxed apples for the trade, in addition
to their order for several thousand
barrels of apples for the general mar
ket. One New York commission man
thereupon signed a contract for 5000
apples for which he was to pay Is cents
each at Lebanon, the number being
limited to make them sufficiently ex-
elusive.
Each apple was perfectly sound, of
high color and uniform shape, not less
than three and one-half inches in diane
ter, nor more than quarter of an inch
larger. Each stem had at least two
perfect leaves attached and each apple
was packed in an attractive pasteboard
box and the top sealed.
Young ladies cut the selected apples
from the tree with scissors, to protect
the leaves on the stems. The apples
were placed on a cloth recovered table
for inspection, and those that passed
muster were dipped, leaves and all, in
solution which closed the pores of the
skin and leaves. causing the latter to
retain their natural color, and conserv-
ing in the apple the original flavor
After the solution had dried, each apple
was wrapped in soft tissue paper to
hold it firmly in its box in which it was
Immediately placed. The leaves were
carefully arranged on top of the wrap
ping paper so that they would not be
folded or crumpled, and the top was
sealed

THE TRIUMPH.

The brave little band of suffragist
"hikers" reached Washington yester-
day, and proved in fine fashion the
truth of the old line that "when a
woman will, she will, and there's an
end ont" From all account Gen
eral" Jones and her soldiers have re-
ception equal to that of an incoming
President in enthusiasm and interest.
Great must be the JOY of the foot-weary
women to find that their publicity
scheme had not been in vain. The
stage was well set and they played their
parts with distinction.
Everybody admires pluck, especially
from the feminine side of the house
when it takes a reasonable form of
exhibit. The walkers may not have ad-
vanced their cause to any great extent,
but they have not hurt it, certainly.
Their perseverance, good nature and
freedom from the suffragette vicious
ness of the English movement have won
public respect. Richmond Journal.

VOTE SWAPPING.

The extent and the quality of the
interest shown at yesterdays hearing
before the joint judiciary committee
on the bill to prohibit vote-swapping
in the Legislature shows that a good
deal of feeling has been aroused over
the matter and that means that the
practice has heen in commission for
10 these many years and that it will
be hard thing to uproot
Almost everybody agrees that this
peculiar kind of exchanging support
for pet measures is bad, both in theory
and in practice. 1t does not give bills
fair chance whether they are desr-
able or not which makes no difference
in ethics. 1t is practically purchase
of favor or disapproval, and so re-
pungent to the best and fairest ideas
of government.
1t is to be hoped that the committee
will report out a bill of some sort
looking to the abolishing of an indie
feasible custom. - Richmond IVA. }

essential of justice in the body polite,
if men and women and children be not
shielded in their lives, their very vital
ity, from the consequences of great in
dustrial and social processes which they
cannot alter, control or singly cope
with. Society must see to it that it
does not itself crush or weaken or dam
age its own constituent parts. The first
duty of law is to keep sound the society
it serves. Sanitary laws, pure food
laws, and laws determining conditions
of labor which individuals are powerless
to determine for themselves are intimate
parts of the very business of justice
and legal efficiency.
These are some of the things we
ought to do and mot leave the others
undone, the old-fashioned never-to-be
neglected, fundamental safeguarding of
property and of individual right. This
is the high enterprise of the new day:
To lift everything that concerns our life
as nation to the light that shines.
from the hearthfire of every mans con-
science and vision of the right. 1t is
inconceivable that we should do this as
partlsans,; it is inconceivable we should
do it in ignorance of the facts as thew
are or in blind haste. We shall restore.
not destroy. We shall deal with our
economic system as it is and as it NAV
be modified, not as it might be if we
had clean sheet of paper to write
upon; and step by step we shall make
it what it should be, in the spirit of
those who question their own wisdom
and seek counsel and knowledge, not
shallow dissatisfaction or the excite
ment of excursions whittier they connot
tell. Justice, and only justice, shall
always be our motto.
And yet it will be no cool process of
mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn
passion, stirred by the knowledge of
wrong, of ideals lost, of government
too often debauched and made an in.
strument of evil The feelings with
which we face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our heart
strings like some air out of Gods own
presence, where justice and mercy are
reconciled and the judge and the brother
are one. We know our task to be no
mere task of politics, but task which
shall search US through and through,
whether we be able to understand our
time and the need of our people, whether
we be indeed their spokesman and in
terpreters, whether we have the pure
heart to comprehend and the rectifed
will to choose our high course of action.
This is not day of triumph; it is
day of dedication. Here muster. not
the forces of party, but the forces of
humanity. Mems hearts wait upon US;
mems lives hang in the balance, mems
hopes call upon us to say what we will
do. Who shall live up to the great
trust? Who dares fail to try? | sum-
mon all honest men, all patriotic, all
forward-looking men, to my side. God
helping me, will not fail them, if they
will but counsel and sustain me.
