immense two-story frame structure,

questions are asked by&citizens. One of
the most frequent is this: when the
Giass-Owen bill becomes law and some
500 0uO,OOO of money is withdrawn from
the national banks and placed IN the led
eral reserve bank, where will the money
come with which to finance stock market
operations?' Sometimes the answer is
made to this question that one of the pur-
poses behind the banking and currency
bill is to reach, and therefore limit and
control, stock market transactions An
other answer Is that no one can tell how
many millions will be withdrawn from ths,
national banks and placed in the federal
reserve banns. This question, which is
frequently asked in all sincerity, Illus
trates the condition of doubt or confusion
of mind which Is characteristic not only
of many business men. but of a good

Huntsville, November 12.-(Special) }
The city commission, after receiving a
petition which was presented by five min
isters leading. in the men and religion
forward movement, have passed the ques-
tion over to Friday night when they will
hold a conference with a committee of
five to decide what is to be done.
The ministers stated at the meeting of
the commission that $50 citizens had
signed the petitions for the elimination
of the houses, and that provisions would
be made to take care of all girls and
women who wish to lead better lives.
Those who do not want to reform, must
leave the city, they said. No provision
has been made for the protection of the
property rights of women who own their
homes in the restricted district In the
event that they are driven out.
The Rev. F. L. Wear, Rev. Francis
Tappey, Paul Speake and John Il. Jones
have been appointed as a committee to
act with the city commission in ! :ning
solution of the vexing question. In
the meantime, occupants of the restricted
district are said to be very much aroused
over the prospect of being driven from
the city.
An echo of a big revenue raid near
Cloverdale in Lauderdale county was

Bx HOLLAND.

New York, November 12-(Special.)- lin
spite of the earnest admonition of Jacob
II. Schiff at a recent meeting of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, the COM
mon belief In this city is that it is i'm
practicable to submit to President Wilson
for his approval or disapproval a bank
ing and currency measure during the
life of the present extraordinary session
Of Congress. 1t can be done. There IS
not a banker In New York or any mem
Der of the chamber of Congress is un-
willing to say that powerful pressure or,
possibly, party emergency, may be SO
utilized as to force the measure through
both houses of Congress before the first
Monday of next December. Yet it is
thought to be incredible that a measure
of this kind can be debated in the Sem
ate, returned to the lower house, sub
mitted to the scrutiny of conference
committee of the two houses and enacted
into law within the next three weeks.
Mr.. Schiff did not mean, according to
his friends, to be understood as approv-
ing such action by Congress as would Ell
able the President to sign any kind OF
pauhiL5 dHu CuiiShSS bili pSioiS thc Ac5
ular session of Congress. Yet some OF
those who heard Mr.. Schiff inferred that
he would rather see an imperfect banking
and currency bill enacted into law before
the regular session of Congress than to
have the matter passed over till the regu-
lar session. The inference was strong
that Mr. Schiff feared that IL the consid-
Grafton of this measure went over there
might be delay in the passage Of any law
perhaps until spring.

The Two Great Dangers

Two great dangers which, according to
good authority. lurk in the present stua-
ton are, first, the possibility of enactng
into law measure which will be imme-
diately followed by confusion, consldera-
BILE possibly dangerous monetary disturb
ance and by very demoralizlng friction
during the process of adjusting the ma
tional banks of the United States to the
requirements of the new banking and cur
rency law.
On the other hand, danger of another
kind, yet quite as menacing, turks in the
procrastination of banking and currency
legislation. There is not a banker pf
Boston ir New York. or Philadelphia or
Chicago or of any of the large financial
centers who is not convinced that public
interest has been so greatly concentrated
upon the proposed change in the banking
and currency laws, and capital has been
so greatly concerned about this change
that 1t Is better to have certainty, though
there may be some danger in the GER
tainty, than to have further procrastina-
ton and doubt.
That Is what Mr.. Schif is understood
to have meant when he said that we are
likely to get into very difficult conditions
In this country il currency legislation be
long delayed. He went SO far as to say
that the pending measure, with certain
amendments, should be passed as soon
as possible. For unless this be done his
vision into the future shows him an in
crease of the encouragement which IL
ready prevails, and Furthermore, an en-
barrassing situation in agriculture, a
great curtailment of commercial and
other credit and an especially severe de-
preston in real estate because of inabil-
ity to obtain loans upon the security of
bond and mortgage.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-13
A State of Doubt

Already discussion and the reports Of
testimony offered to the Senate commit
tee on banking and currency have caused
a great deal Of confusion in the public
mind respecting the measure. Even bank
ers confess themselves In fog, not being
able to discern with distinctness what is
really In progress in Washington at this
time.
There is regret, too, that recently some
thing like political consideration seems 10
be of influence with members of Congress
There are frequent reports of comments
made by senator's or representatives that
they do not purpose to have their bank
ing and Senate currency measure per-
fected through the influence of the repub-
licans. while republicans may look some
what askance upon democratic legislation
In this city 1t is not known how far the
republicans have irterfered. or whether
they have gone beyond their reasonable
|privilege of studying the measure and ax-
pressing their sincere convictions upon it,
1t has been the hope In this city that
whatever form the measure may ulti-
niately take it can properly be described
as representing practically non- partisan
views.
Meanwhile all sorts of embarrassing

Between Two Fires

So far as banking and currency legsla-
ton Is concerned, in Mr.. Schiff's opinion,
and, in fact in the opinion of a good
many other members of the Chamber of
Commerce, the country is just now be-
tween two fires. No one disagrees with
President Wilson that banking and cur
rency legislation should be enacted at the
earliest possible moment, but undoubtedly
the majority sentiment among bankers
who are the men who must act under new
banking and currency laws, as we'll rs
the opinion of great business men of
whom John Clafin is the type, is. in op-
position to certai in features of the law,
some of which are the identical features
which President Wilson Is understood to
regard as fundamental. 1t looks like q
temporary impasse. The undercurrent of
sentiment in this city Is that if the
Glass-Owen bill be amended IN the SEN
ate along lines which represent the atti-
tue taken by the majority of the Senate
banking and currency committee 1t will
be rejected by the lower house. There
may be compromises in the conference
committee of the two houses. 1t has. been
suggested that the members of this COM
mlttee would do well to turn back to the
record which tells of the manner in which
the present national currency law was at
last perfected. AS the law went to
President Lincoln II represented compro-
misses some of which were thought to be
impossible when this measure was under
discussion In the federal Senate
In private conversation, bankers of this
city say that new banking and cur
rency law cannot go on the statute books
until after good deal In the way of
compromise has been accomplished They
believe that President Wilson himself,
who knows as well that almost all legis-
lation excepting that which involves a
moral principle reflects compromise, must
yield somewhat If he is to have on the
whole banking and currency law which
in it's main features he approves.
incidentally, it should be reported that
whatever may be the name of the su-
preme or central governing body, it is In
evitable that it possess most of the func-
tions which are the important qualifica-
tions of a central bank.
