Robert G. McCann, the father, has

ASKS j. s. TO CALL
A GOLD CONGRESS
Senator Thomas, in Currency
Bill Debate, Suggests inter-
national Money Parity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia pro-
posal that the United States call a.
conference of the powers to consider
worldwide basis of parity between
gold and silver was brought in the
consideration of the administration
currency bill today, when Senator
Thomas, Democrat. introduced a reso-
luton proposing that President Will
son be authorized to invite England
France and Germany, whose none
tary systems are based on the gold
standard. to participate and that FIVE
delegates be appointed from the
United States when any two Euro
pean nations have accepted the invi-
tation.
A preamble set forth that rates of
exchange between gold standard
countries with the silver nations of
South and Central America fiuctuated
violently, always to the disadvantage
of the gold standard countries.
Senator Thomas contended that his
resolution called for consideration in
connection with the currency bill.
THE currency problem in any one
country cannot be satisfactorily set
tied without considering currency con-
ditions throughout the world" said he.
Efforts for an agreement for an
early vote on the Dill met with little
success today. Senator Cummins, Re-
publican, continued his criticism of
the measure.
Senator Root presented amendments
to eliminate the guarantee of deposits
and revise the note issue section to
provide for a graduated tax on re-
serve deficiencies in order to prevent
an imitation.
IT think this bill has many bene-
fetal features which ought to be en-
acted into law" he said. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the circumstances un-
der which the bill comes before us
hamper full discussion. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the Democratic caucus
action on the measure was not de-
layed until the bill had been threshed
out in the Senate. In presenting
amendments we labor under the dis
couraging idea that the bill has been
already passed"
Senator Root pointed out that there
was no limit on the amount of new
currency which could be issued under
the bill.
This provision" said he referring
to the note issue section, SIS simply
authority for the further increase of
our present greenbacks" He point
ed cut the government already has

THREE-GUN MAN
HELD FOR THEFT
OF AUTOMOBILE
Newark Prisoner Also Had Two
Blackjacks in His Posses
sion When Arrested.

The famous "two-gun man" of fic-
tion was put to shame today by a
three-gun man Policemen Donahue
and Goodman trapped after one of
the most daring automobile thefts on
record in the city.
He is Edward Nj Asst of 81 Wood
side avenue, a licensed chauffeur, and
n special policeman and deputy
sheriff, to boot
HIe is said to have made n full con-
fession to having stolen the touring
car of John II. Sullivan, of 401 Clln-
ton avenue, from the LaclSawanna
station. He led the detectives this
afternoon to the car, which he had
dltched in the Woodside section. Two
other men We're implicated in the
theft by him, and men from head
quarters are lool<ine for them.
A telephone message was received
at the Clinton garage, 401 Clinton
avenue, at a. m, asking for a ma
chine to be sent to the Backawanna
station
John Jeffrey a negro chauffeur, of
119 Wright street, was sent out with
a seven passenger touring car owned
by Sullivan. the proprietor of the
garage When he stopped his ear in

Say where are those people who
wanted an automobile?" Jeffrey called
out
why, they're upstairs" said Asst,
indicating the walting-room of the
station.
Jeffrey went into the station. When
he returned, minute or two later,
the automobile was gone. He ran up
to Policeman Donahue and said:
Someone's stolen my car"
'"rhe man you were talking to and
two others got into It and drove off,"
said the policeman 81 saw them"
Donahue thought that Jeffrey's de-
scription of the man to whom he had
spoken answered to that of Asst. A
few hours later Asst was arrested at
his home and taken to police head
quarters. He was first searched In
his possession were found three load
ed revolvers and two blackiaclSs
After being grilled for several hours,
he is said to have admitted taking the
automobile He agreed to show the
detectives where the machine had run
into n ditch and he had been forced
to abandon 1t.
The police suspect that Asst may
have been the head of a gang of auto
thieves who have been working more
or less systematically in this vicinity.
