TO AVERT A POSSIBLE
 FINANCIAL STRINGENCY.
Both Parties Propose Amendments to
 Currency Bill.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Means of pro- tecting the country against any posst- ble l.pancial stringency when the pre- posedN new currency system goes into effect were considered today by both the democratic and republican wings of the senate banking and currency committee.
 In each case amendments to the ad- ministration currency bill agreed upon were designed to cover the transition period while banks are transferring their reserves to the proposed new fed- era1 reserve banks. The democrats adoptd a change that would permit local banks to deposit half of the re- quired reserve in the regional bank in the form of commercial paper, instead of requiring the entire deposit to be in cash. Another amendment would au- thorize the federal reserve board to make, the new treasury notes and the present bank notes eligible for use as part of the reserves to relieve embar- raSsment during the transition period.
 The republicans and Senator Hitch cock continuing their work on 3, draft bill, adopted a more radical change, providing that banks need deposit only 1 per cent. reserve when the new sys- tenn becomes effective, an additional 1 per cent. to be deposited each six months until the entire reserve of 5 per cent. has been provided for.

THAW CASE MAY GO
 TO SUPREME COURT.
Rearrested at Concord and New Writ
 of Haheas Corpus Filed.

Concord, N. H., Nov. 18.-Harry K. Thaw occupies tonight the same apart ments at local hotel which have been his home since September IT, and now, as then, he is in the joint custody of United States Marshal E. P. Mute and High Sheriff Holman A. Drew But his legal status has been altered ma terially in 24 hours
 After an all day hearing before Judge Edgar Aldrich in the United States court, today, an agreement was reach for the state of New York, and ThaW's S lawyers, Judge A1drich assenting, whereby these steps were taken:
 The writ of habeas corpus filed by Thaw at LittletOn in September was temporarily suspended.
 Thaw was arrested by Sheriff Drew under the eXtraditi0n warrant issued by Governor Fellxer.
 A new and supplemental writ of ha- beas corpus under the extraGition pro- ceedings was filed by Thaw's counsel.
 To this the state of New York was given seven days to reply, with Thaw to have five days thereafter in which to make his reply. In full the docu- ments in the case are to be printed and briefs filed by both parties. This hav- ing been done, Judge Aldrich will fix a date on which final arguments will be made before him on theaquestiOn of constitutional law raised in the peti- ton for habeas corpus: viz: Does Thaw's case come under the extradition laws?
 An appeal may be taken from his decision by one side or the other, so that the case may progress in the United States supreme court.
