WOULD EXCLUDE ULSTER
FROM HOME RULE BILL
Sir Edward Carson Thinks
That May Yet Solve the
Irish Problem.
(By Gable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, Sept. 29.-Sir Edward Car
son now states that the exclusion OF
Ulster from the Home Rule bill may
yet prove to be the solution OF the
Irish problem. The Unionist papers
here regard this as an important pro-
nouncement. but IL is absolutely certain
that Redmond would never accept such
a way out of the present deadlock as
settlement of the Nationalist claims.
The Nationalist are the masters Of
the government. and they are standing
out for their bargain for Home Rule
parliament in Dublin, with an execu-
tive responsible 10 II. That Is the in
surmountable barrier between the par
Ties. and until it is removed the pros
pect Of a compromise is very remote.
Ulster will never accept part In o
conference which begins by conceding
the principle of a Home Rule parlis-
ment and an executive responsible TO IT,
and Redmond has made II clear that
the Nationalists will not go into a con-
ference where the principle OF Home
Rule is put into the melting pot.
Redmond might be willing to allow
Ulster some scheme OF local autonomy
so long as the supreme control rested
in the Dublin government. but Ulster
is in no mood to accept such solution
Of the difficulty.

MANUEL'S BRIDE VERY ILL
Astonishing Rumors Current
About Queens Sickness.
fBv Cable 10 The Tribune. ]


Berlin Sept. 29.-In spite Of all re-
ports TO the contrary, official and other
wise, it may be stated definitely that
King Manucrs bride is seriously i'll,
so i'll, in fact, that all suggestion Of
her taking up her residence in England
i'm a month or two is outsof the ques-
ton. No change for the better or
worse was reported to-day. The stories
that she has left the private hospital
in Munich are untrue. She Is still
there undergoing extremely strict treat
ment prescribed by Professor Won
Romberg, the celebrated specialist in
women's diseases.
Queen Augusta Victoria is still ex-
tremely weak; but the doctors hope for
her recovery. on her release from the
hospital the young bride will return 10
her fathers castle at Sigmaringen, and
remain there for some time to complete
her cure. Later, if the weather Is
favorable. she will go either TO the
Black Forest or the Engadine.
King Manuel has a number OF polit-
ical engagements at Twickenham and
Brussels. He will see his wife safely
settled at Sigmaringen. and then go
directly TO Twickenham.
Astonishing rumors about the queen
illness are current In Berlin. They
seem 20 have little definite basis; but
II is remarkable that until now she
had never been i'll for even a day since

Glass to Take Vacation.

Representative Carter Glass talked 10
the President about the currency legisla-
ton this morning and told him that as
soon as the tariff bill was passed he in
tended to take a vacation. as his health
had broken down as a result Of his labors
In connection with the administration bill.
President Wilson believes that the cur
rency bill should be rushed through Con-
gress in less than two months. as the de-
tails have been worked out. His idea is
that if Congress follows the administra-
tons programme there should be no de-
lay. while any postponement Of action will
serve merely to give the opposition its
second wind.
General revision Of the details of the
administration currency bill TO insure the
carrying out Of the purposes of the meas
ure was recommended 10 the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee to-day
by Samuel Untermycr, Of New York.
Many Of the changes proposed by MIR. Tn
termyer were in vital points Of the bill.
Criticising the bills definition Of com
mercial paper" on which currency would
be issued as loose and unrestricted" Mr.
Untermyer declared that the lines should
be strictly drawn To allow the issue Of
currency only on commercial paper rep
resentng the purchase or sale of COM
He recommended allowing the proposed
regional reserve banks 10 rediscount a
wider range Of paper.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-09-30
Would Give Public a Chance.

Mr. Untermyer also recommended
changing the plan OF organization Of the
proposed regional reserve banks He
would give the national banks ninety days
In which 10 subscribe the capital and
deposits for the regional banks, and If
II was not forthcoming would throw
the stock books open to public subscrip-
ton, closely restricting the powers Of
the subscribers in controlling the bark.
This plan. he said. would tend 10 force
the banks TO enter the system.
The bill as at present framed. Mr.. In
termyer declared. gave the banks to-
much power in the organization and con-
troll Of the proposed new system. He
recommended that the proposed cd
visory council Of bankers as an adjunct
10 the federal reserve board be aool-
ished. and that the government be given
closer powers Of regulation and removal
over regional reserve directors elected by
the banks. He urged. however, that the
banks be given a fat profit Of per cent
on their investment in the regional banks.
the government 10 receive all profits
above that figure.
The right Of the regional banks 10 en-
ter the open market IN competition WIN
the member banks was absolutely neces-
sary. Mr.. Untermyer said, in order that
the regional banks might control and
maintain the rate OF discount which the
bill gives them the right to fix.
Mr.. Untermyer disagreed with a scheme
advanced by Senators Reed, Hitchcock
and Bristow. under which the govern
ment would issue currency 10 the indl-
vidual banks on their assets up TO 20 per
cent Of their capital stock. with pro-
vision for a - per cent gold reserve
This plan. he said would be inelasuc ana
| lmpracticable.
Before Mr. Cntermyer appeared inc
committee heard Thomas c. McRae' OF
Mount Holly. Ark, who discussed inc
currency bill from the point OF vie" Of
the small country banker He indorsea
the measure generally and suggested a
few, minor changes. Mr.. McRae said inc
