LETTERS TO EDITOR
Watson Not Put Under Bond

To the Editor of The Herald:
In the news item in yesterday morning S
paper with reference TO the cases of
Adams and Franklin against 7. j. Wat
son. 1t was stated in error that Mr.. Wat
son was put under bond as result of the
investigations by Officers Warren and
Daily of the death of Mr.. Adams and the
injury to Mr. Franklin. As matter of
fact. Mr.. Watson was not downtown the
night of the accident after o'clock, and
the accident happened after u. There
was no claim that Mr.. Watson was in the
car involved in the accident; the claim
WAS that the men were struck by Mr..
Watson's chauffeur and the defense was
a denial of this. r. II. THACH.

CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-18

and Porto Rican Steamship COM
pany, offering discounts of 20 per cent
on freight rates during the week when
the sailing of Bull liner for Porto
Rico had been announced.
When asked by representative Hum
phrey of Washington why he had not
placed these facts before the depart
ment of justice, Mr.. Bull said that he
had been told that he was .'as bad as
any of the rest because he had signed
bond in 1900 not to enter into the
Porto Rican trade for 10 years. He
said he had decided to await the action
of the congressional committee. Chairman
Alexander and Representative Humphrey
emphatically expressed the opinion that
the combination should be prosecuted.

honor of Viscounr Chinda, Japanes ann
bassador to the United States. Ambassa-

death of the late Emperor did much to
cement the bonds of friendship between
the two nations. Jacob H. Schiff, the
barker. paid tribute to the dead EN-
peror and said that the entrance of
Japanese among the nations of the world
had been a great benefit to civilization.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
SUSPENDS HEARING
OF. MONEY TRUST
Doubts Power of the Com.
mittee to Inquire
Into Internal
Affairs

Washington, January 17.-Hearings OF
the House money trust committee will be
suspended next Friday or Saturday, ac-
cording 10 an announcement tonight by
Representative Pujo, chairman of the
committee, who assigned as the principal
reason for the suspension, the doubt cast
upon the power of the committee to in
auire into the internal affairs of banking
Institutions.
This action" said Representative Pujo
lis due mainly to the doubt cast by the
banks upon the power of the committee
to inquire into their internal affairs and
especially TO their refusal to disclose the
names of individual loans and borrowers
of UPWARDS of 81 100000 which would af-
feet only 13 institutions in the United
States.
Without this information and in the
absence of means of ascertaining the
character of the business done by the
banks that have made huge profits in a
comparatively short time, it is manifestly
impossible for the committee to ascertain
whether, and if So. to what extent. these
banks and their funds have been used
and are being used by the great financial
interests in the furtherance of their
schemes or TO the exclusion of competing
business

Suspend Oral Hearings


Tn announcing the suspension of the
oral hearings. Chairman Pujo points out
that there are still upwards of 40 wit
nesses ON the committees list who have
not yet been examined and many I'M
portant subjects bearing on the inquiry
that have not been touched upon.
when this committee was appointed"
continues the statement 'it was an
nounced that owing to doubt raised by
the banks as to the power to inquire
into their affairs as bearing on the con-
centration of money and credit 1t would
be necessary to have further power The
bill comforting such power that has passed
the House is still pending in the SEN
ate.
Since then the committee has repeated
-ly announced that it cannot thoroughly or
satisfactorily compelte its labors without
the exercise of that power.
Appeals to the President and the comp
troller of the currency for the information
that was within the power of the Presi-
dent to grant, met with long delays that
have embarrassed the work of the COM
mittee, but have resulted in no relief.
Banks Are Secretive
1.-THE banks curiosity regarding even the
character of their assets as secret in
formation that they are entitled to with
hold from the scrutiny of this commit
tee.
1T would require at least three months
after access to the banks is granted the
committee in which to gather the data for
further oral testimony from which it is
manifest that even If the bill were now
passed nothing in that direction can fbe
accomplished during the present Con-
gress
THE short time intervening before the
expiration of this Congress will be re-
quired for the preparation of an inter-
| mediate report and recommendations for
| legislation based upon the testimony thus
| far gathered. a
1.-THE work delegated to the committee
is, however, far from completed. In some
of its most important aspects it has bare
| ly begun, but il it is to be continued

with far more comprehensive powers,
which can only be had through further
