Want Lower Rates

Helena, Dec. 19.-Grain rates from
Montana to eastern and western ter
minals, coal rates on the Great North
ern from Bear Creek and Roundup,
and electricity rates in Missoula and
the Bitter Root valley, were subjects
of orders of the railroad and public
service commissions today.
The commission, on it's initial mo-
tion, forwarded a complaint to the In.
terstate Commerce commission at
Washington charging that rates ON
grain and flax shipments from Mon
tana to both eastern and western ter
minals are excessive and unreason.
able, and asking that they be reduc.
ed.
Many persons living along the
line of the Great Northern prefor to
use Montana coal, but can not get it

situation, the commission has ordered
a hearing held at Billings January
on the matter of rates charged by the
Great Northern to points along its
lines on coal from Bear Creek and
Roundup.

Wilson Scolds Officers

Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson made public today letter ad-
dressed to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels, respectively, requesting that
"a very serious reprimand" be admin
istered to those army and navy off,
GERS who participated in the recent
dinner of the military order of the
Carabao at which the administra-
tion's Philippine and other policies
were satired. The letter says:
"The officers who were responsible
for the program of the evening are
certainly deserving of very serious
reprimand, which hereby request be
administered and I can not rid my
self of feeling of great disappoint-
ment that the general body of off,
GERS, assembled at the dinner should
have permitted the carrying out of
such a program with apparent indif-
ference to the fact that it violated
some of the most dignified and sacred
traditions of the service

Millions for Water Supply

San Francisco, Dec. 19.-The NUM-
cipal water system provided for by
the Hetch-Hetchy plans, which Presi-
dent Wilson's signature made poten-
tial today, will be second in magni-
tude and engineering difficulties to

The ultimate cost of the system, in
cluding condemnation proceedings
and the construction of power sys-
tenn has been estimated by the board
of army engineers at $77.367, 400, and
the city already has instituted con-
demnation proceedings to obtain po-
session of the Spring Valley Water
company's plant, which now supplies
San Francisco and will be held as
auxiliary. The Spring Valley COM

Warning Against Uncooked Pork

Washington, Dec. 22.-To prevent
the spread of trichinosis, a dread dis
ease little known to the American
people, the department of agriculture
tonight issued a warning against the
consumption of raw or uncooked pork
products, which are said to be the
source of the malady. In many dis
tricts Of the country large quantities
of pork are being consumed during
Christmas season, resulting frequent
ly in cases of seriously impaired
health II not in fatalities.
The department asserts that in No
vember and December, 1911, there
were So cases of trichinosis that ter.
minated fatally in one California COM
munity. In each instance the disease
was traced to uncooked sausages.

NEW CURRENCY LAW
Conference Report Adopted by House
And Sent to Senate

Washington, Dec. 22.-The house
passed the conference report on the
administration bill at 10:45 O'Clock
tonight by vote of 29S to 60, and
sent the report to the senate, which
had waited in session to receive it be-
fore adjournment at 1880 p. m. until
lO a. m. tomorrow. The senate took
no action on the conference report
tonight.
Prolonged and uproarious cheers
from the democrats greeted the
announcement of the vote by Speaker
Clark, and many members of the
house hastened over to the senate to
see the report received there.
Receipt at the treasury of scores of
informal applications from all parts
of the country has led Mr.. McAdoo to
believe that there can be no question
now that large part of the national
banks intend to come into the sys-
tenn. There are about $500 national
banks in the United States, and not
more than few hundred have wired
their intention to apply for member
ship In the new federal system, but a
rush of applications is expected as
soon as the bill is signed by President
Wilson. Many of the banks, realiz-
ing that they cannot get in the first
application, and not caring particular
ly about the relative position they
may obtain, are understood to be
awaiting the signing Of the bill.

in this city caused by automobiles
has risen from 81 In 1907 to 1T for

ed for plot 1874 by 100 located at

The price was $2,250.000 which is

CHANGE IN CURRENCY BILL
Conference Committee Puts Finishing
Touches on Measure


Washington, Dec. 22.-At 1880 this
morning, the joint conference commit
tee on the administration currency
bill, agreed to strike from the meas
rue the senate provision for an insur-
ance fund to guarantee deposits in
national banks. At that time but q
single point of disagreement was still
in dispute. That was the composition
of the federal reserve board.
The committee agreed to strike out
the senate amnedment which would
allow the use of the new federal re.
serve notes as bank reserves.
The conference agreed on an en-
tirely new provision to take care of
the outstanding government 2 per
cent bonds, on which the present cur.
rency is based. They will be retired,
beginning two years after the new
system is installed, az the rate of $685..
100000 year. This amount will be
taken over from the present national
banks by the new regional banks in
proportion to their capital and sur.
plus.
The bank reserve section as framed
by the senate was accepted with but
slight changes. They require the re.
serve of 18 per cent in central re.
serve city banks, IL per cent in re.
serve city banks, and IL per cent in
country banks.
The makeup Of the federal reserve
board was the late matter in dispute
The house members reluctantly
agreed that the secretary of agricul
ture be removed, but insisted that the
comptroller of the currency remain a
member.
