CLASHES IN SENATE
ON CURRENCY BILL
Owen, Hitchcock, Shafroth and
Bristow Lock Horns Over
Measure.
Kansas Senator Calls Owens
Bill Sham and a Fraud"
Turns the People Over to
Mercy of Bankers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-There were
sharp clashes In the senate today over
fundamental questions involved IN the
two currency bills. Senator Hitchcock,
OF Nebraska, attacked Senator Owens
bill because II provided for q bank
ing capital in The regional reserve
association of only $4,000 Sem
ator owen had explained that he did
not regard the difference between the
two bills as vital. simply because the
Hitchcock bill called for paIdup
capital of S1o6.000,0O0. while the
Democratic bill submitted by Senator
Owen and his colleagues, required that
only half that sum be paid in Mr..
Hitchcock replied that what the coun-
try needed was more banking capital,
and that the Hitchcock bill afforded
more than s50.0o6.000 banking capital
above the amount afforded by the
owen bill, and that this meant a diff
ference in credit of $3.50, 100000
The next cash came over the ques-
ton of the control OF the regional
reserve association. The Owen bill
provides for bank control while the
Hitchcock bill gives the government
a majority control. Senator Shat
roth defended the owen bill provision
on the ground that the bill was being
shaped as bankers measure" and
that IL the bankers were not given a
majority voice in directing the affairs
OF the regional association. they GER
tainly would refuse to put their
capital into the new system.
You might as we'll vote mo- on the
passage of this BILL" said Senator
Shafroth. "as to vote to eliminate the
bank control of the regional assocla-
ton"
Senator Shafroth insisted that prac-
ticaliy none OF the national banks of
the country will enter the proposed
system, and that the law would be a
nudity of tho federal reserve board
was authorized to dominate the di-
rectorate of the regional association.
He insisted that no national bank
would submit to have its directors ap-
pointed for Il from Washington
Senator Bristow called on Mr. Shat
roth to name a single bank that had
threatened TO remain out of the re-
serve association Is the federal reserve
board were given controlling voice
In the management of the regional
reserve ASSOCIATION. MIR. E3ristow was

HEAVY PENALTY.

A man in Alexandria was fined $50

using an automobile without the own
er's permission. Some thought the
penalty severe, but it seems that ii
ashington the offense is regarded rs
still more serious
Eighteen-year-old Hills Robertson,
employed in the real estate office Of
Harry V. Bouic, in The Southern build
ing. in Washington, was arrested yes
terday after 10y ride" in his en-
ployer's new $4,000 automobile, is the
first person to face the drastic pen
atty for taking automobiles without
permission under the new "antl-Joy
riding" law. The boy is in danger OF
serving a term of five years in the
penitentiary, or having TO pay fine OF
$1,000, or being sentenced to both I'M
pri:onment and fire.
On the plea of his mother and
father, who appeared in the Police
Court and left no stone unturned to
have the charge against him dropped,
and the disposition also of Mr.. Boulc
not to prosecute the boy, Assistant
United States Attorney Given allowed
the defendant to go on his personal
bond, and is considering having MIN
arraigned before the grand jury.
at is hard to see boy az young
as Robertson facing term in the pen

practice of taking other peoples ma
chimes must be stopped. To allow this
Young man to go unpunishel under the
new law would be bad way TO start
to prosecute under the law, as every
violator of its substance would eX-
Dect lenient treatment.

: JlNEs's POINT LIGHT
Rumor That it is to be Superseded
by Gas Buoy in the Near
Future

A report is current to the effect
that the lighthouse board is consid-
ering the advisability of abolishing
the Lighthouse at Jones's Point and
substituting in its place gas buoy or
beacon on the point of land at the
north entrance to Hunting Creek.
AS is well-known, the government,
claims the forty acres of reclaimed
land lying between the shipyard and
Jones's Point, covering what was
formerly known as Baptising Cove
and in later years years as Battery
Rodgers Cove, and should the claim
be sustained by the courts, the gov
eminent will have possession of all the
land from the shipyard to Hunting
Creek, as it has since the ffties owned
about one-half of the neck Of ground
forming Jones's Point.
The retaining of the cove mas, of
course, obitera;ed the bounds of this
strip by merging it with the newly
made land on the north.
The lighthouse was erected on its
present site in 1858.
! The late George Deeton, many OF
whose descendants now reside II
Alexandria, was its first keeper He
was succeeded by Mr.. Geisendaffcr
father of Mr.. Fred. Geisendaffer, anc
during the civil war the iate Benjamin
Greenwood, became keeper, a position
he held until his death in 1906. 1t:
present keeper. Mr.. wilkins, was sub
sequent!y appointed.
In 1858 The city extended the ga:
Imains down Lee street to the Point
and for many years gas was used IL
the beacon. Later, however, the use
of gas was discontinued and oil wa:
substituted therefor.
