Purpose to Have Money Trust
Hunters Continue Their In

New Congress.

Hope Next Administration Will

nation to Enable Them
to Pry Into Banks
Affairs.
IFrom The Tribune bureau. !

Washington. Jan IA plan TO con-
tnue the money trust" probe under the
new Congress, on the assumption that
the Democratic administration will per-
NIT the Controller of the Currency 10
make public information in his posses
sion regarding national banks. is being
fostcred by certain House Democrats.
Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the
Pujo committee which will end its in
vestigation in n few days, had a CON
ference to-day with Representative I'm
dcrwood, the majority leader. Each de-
clined to discuss the details Of tho CON
ference, but it was learned that Mr..
Underwood and other House leaders
are 10 be asked TO sanction n renewal
Of the money trust inquiry in the
next session.
The tentative plan is as follows: The
Pujo committee. which is headed by a
member who will leave the House on
March I. will conclude its current hear
ings next week Two or three weeks
will he spent IN the preparation Of n
report. which will recommend remedial
legislation for the curb Of the money
power. This report will be submitted
10 tho present House. which probably
VIII take no action. When the extra
session convenes substantially the
same committee is 70 be clothed with
authority to continue the money trust"
investigation and to inquire particu
laiIv into the affairs Of national banks.
The Pujo committee has been pre-
vented from prying into the operations
Of national banks because Of the fail
ure Of the Senate 10 pass resolution
giving the committee visitorial powers
over such institutions. and also be-
cause Of ruling by the Attorney Gen
eral and the President that the infor
nation in possession Of the Controller
Of the Currency is confidential.
With the Democrats i'm fun control
of governmental machinery, il is un
dcrstood that Mr.. Untcrmyer AMI
others directly interested in the probe
believe it will be possible to obtain
legislation throwing open 10 inspection
the records of the Controller and that
the now House a'ill complete the work
begun by the Pujo committee.
Chairman Pujo testified before the
federal grand jury to-day, asking the
indictment for contempt Of George q.
Henry a New York broker. who re-
fused to tell the committee the names
cf twenty four national bank officers,
who. he said. made $4,000 in syndi-
cate fiotation Of California Petroleum
Company stock.
Henry contends that the committee
has no authority To inquire into the
affair. The case probably will go TO
the Supreme Court.

NEW GAS DISCOVERED
English Scientist Obtains a Va
RANT of Hydrogen.
IBy Gable 10 Tho Tribune

London, Jan. 1S.-Sir Joseph John
Thomson, director Of the Cavendish
laboratories at Cambridge. announced
last night that he had discovered a
new gas. It holds the same relation
ship TO hydrogen that ozone does to
oxygen, which means that the chem
ical formula is H3.
Although he had been working on
the experiment for more than two
months, Sir Joseph only managed TO
obtain rather less than a cubic milli-
metre Of the gas. He found this Gu
rious form of hydrogen hidden away in
metals, especially iron, zinc, copper
and lead.

Need More Power, Says Puio.
In a statement issued tonight by
Chairman Pujo he says:

When this committee was appointed
was announced that owing To the doubt
raised by the banks as 10 the power 10
inuuire into their affairs as bearing on
the concentration and control OF money
and credit il would be necessary to nave
further power. The bill conferring such
power that has passed the House Is stiil
pending i'm the Senate.
IL would require at least three months
after access to the banks is granted the
committee I'm which TO gather the data
for further oral testimony. from when
il is manifest that even II the bill we're
now passed nothing In that direction can
be acco. lplshed during the present Con-
grfsS.
The work delegated to the committee is.
however, far from complete. In some OF
it's most important aspects IT has barely
begun. but If il is to be continued this
Important task. in order TO be thoroughly
discharged. must be accomplished with
far more comprehensive powers, which
can only be had through further legisla-
tlOn.
Mr.. Pujo added that the committee
would adjourn next week to February
% to consider its report.

Opposes White Star Extension.

Mr.. Stimson expressed himself as op-
posed to the recommendation that the
permit for the temporary extension OF

tended. although he intimated that Il
such a course became absolutely nee
cssary and the proposed improvements
were undertaken in good faith ne
would not be avcrse to the plan. lie

tary Dickinson was given on the under
standing that the steamship companies
would take steps TO provide other IA
cilities within two years, and that no
vigorous effort along this line had been
made.

companies before making an dehnite

would entertain no applications fof
further narrowing the river at that
roint. He suggested that other points
ought TO bc considered. 1t developed
that private interests are already con-
tcmpIating a big pier project for Wee

cation argued that such location for
the big liners would be neither ac-
cessiblo nor attractive to the steam

Mr.. Stimson told the New Jersey men
that ne was inclined TO favor plan 10

the line out at Castle Point. The New

| lcept BY giving the pre FERENCE "a tesef,-.
ers who give the most time and labor
to their preparation fo,. the work. The
day is coming and is mot flr distant
when teacher in the public schools
will be required to have at least high
school education. OF course the change
to such requirements will not come sud.
denly for that would do great injus.
tice to many able teachers Of expert
ence who have only an eighth grade
preparation for the work but such
change is coming and school boards can
help hasten it's coming by recognizing
the demand for it in their selection of
teachers.
School boards that refuse to recog-
nize the merits Of higher and better
preparation fer teaching are, by their
action, disco'iraging young men and
women from completing = course of
study in our high schools. Many Of the
young people look upon the time and
money required for securing an educa-
ton to teach as an investment and
when they see high school graduates
competing on an equal footing with
teachers who have spent no time in the
high school. they very naturally con.
lude that high school education is a
poor Investment.

Higher Educational Quail
fications for Teachers

The people Of Colorado through the
legislature have said that the teachers
| in the public schools have not been re-
ceiving enough pay for the work done
by them and hereafter no teacher can
be employed at a salary Of less than $50
per month.
The fact that the people have been
aroused to the necessity for the pay
ment Of better wages to teachers, sug-
|gests the further fact that demand
will be made for more thorough prepa-
ration for the work of teachers. The
taxpayers will not be satisfied with pay
ing 4 minimum salary of $50 per month
for any length Of time without making
the accompanying demand that the ed
ucationsl standard for teachers be rais-
ed. This demand is being made in some
localities now and 1t is reasonable that
II should be and especially so in our
state where the minimum salary is fixed
by law.
This demand has been made for in
structors In our high schools. No person
Is eligible to q position as instructor
in an accredited high school
in this state unless he or she is 4 grad
uste from 4 college or university. A
teacher who has gone 10 higher in study
than to graduate. from high school
cannot Of course secure n position in an
accredited high school and this fact does
much to encourage teachers to take q
course Of study In college or univer-
versity.
Similar encouragement should be held
out to teachers to complete the high
school course Of study. Other condi.
tons being equal, the teacher with the
high school education should be given
the preference over teacher who has
stopped study with the completion OF
the eiwhth grade work and this should
especially apply in the case Of selecting
teachers for the town schools. Unfor
tunately, however. some town schoo
boards In selecting teachers turn dowr
the high school graduate and give tn,
positions to teachers who have onl,
completed the eighth grade work.
