NO DECISION IS REACHED

Little progress was made yesterday in
the Democratic caucus with the tariff
bin. The caucus met at 10 O'Clock and
took up the paragraph relating to the
countervailing duty recommended by the
majority Of the Finance Committee on
cereals and their products, such as -four.
oatmeal. &C. Before the discussion
closed 1t had taken a wide range, and
Senator Hoke Smith made a strong
speech in favor of a general system Of
countervailing duties 70 enforce equal
treatment from foreign countries for
American products
Senator O'Gorman had moved to strike
out the countervailing duty on wheat and
the other grains. ard on their products
Senator Smith advocated an amendment
to the bill. giving the President authority
to proclaim countervailing duties when
ever he deemed II necessary to protect
American products In foreign markets.
This matter will come up when the eau
Gus meets at 10 o'clock this morning
When the caucus adjourned at o'clock
last night IL looked as II the countervail-
ing duty would not be extended beyond
grains and their products and potatoes.
long debate was had in the morning
session of the caucus over the recon-
mendation Of the Finance Committee that
the rate of duty on butter be reduced
from . cents pound to 2Iz cents. There
was strong sentiment in favor OF max
ing butter free, and several Senator's ad-
vocated free listing all food products.
Program for Meetings.
The morning session adjourned at rs.
o'clock to permit Senators to attend the
session Of the Senate in the afternoon
As the Senate session did not break up
until nearly O'Clock. the evening ses-
sion was necessarily brief, and was de-
voted entirely to the adoption of a clo-
ture resolution which will limit debate to
thirty minutes on each paragraph and
prevent Senator from speaking more
than once, and not over five minutes on
any question arising. Realizing that
much time had been wasted in debate at
the morning session. the caucus arranged
a schedule Of daily meetings hereafter
On days that the Senate is not in ses-
sion the caucus will have three sessions
daily, meeting at 1870 o'clock in the
morning, 2:S0 in the afternoon, and s
o'clock at night. with brief intermis-
sions between each session. On DAYS
that the Senate is in session, 1t has been
arranged to hold the afternoon session
fifteen minutes after the session ad-
journs
The Democratic leaders admitted this
afternoon that it would be impossible
for the caucus to complete its work on
the bill this week. and the indications
were that 1t will be the middle of next
week before the bill is in the hands of
the full Committee on Finance.
night session of the Democratic
members of the Finance Committee was
held to consider certain rates that have
been referred back to that committee by
the caucus for further information.

SENATOR WEEKS SCORES
RESERVE BOARD PLAN

The worst feature of the proposed
currency bill is the Federal Reserve
Board, as constituted, and the extrava-
CANT powers which are given it." said
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,, a MEM
Der OF the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee, yesterday, in a statement. on
the Wilson-Glass currency reform bill
IF the seven wisest men in the country
were selected for the positions proposed
in this bill, they could not fail to be
influenced in their actions either by polit-
ical consideration or locality interests"
Senator Weeks said he favored cur
rency legislation at this session and
thought there were some good features
in the proposed bill. He devoted his
statement largely to its faults, however
He believed 1t bad judgment to compel
the dissolution of every National bank
ing association which does not comply
with the proposed act
Nothing could be more preposterous,"
Senator Weeks continued, than to COM
pei National bank to invest twenty
per cent of its capital in the stock of
such an organization as a regional bank,
and then give to a board in WASHINGTON
the final determination as to the manage
ment of the bank in which its money is
invested and in which a portion of its
reserves are deposited.
Given Too Much Power.
There is vested in this board greater
power and of more centralizing ten
dency than has ever been proposed for
an organization for any party at any
time either in this country or abroad"
Senator Weeks then enumerated the
dangerous powers. OF this board II
will control the placing of government
deposits. fix regional DISCOUNT rates.

President Stands Firm.

President Wilson made it clear yester-
day that he has no thought of yielding
to the wishes of the American Bankers
Association with regard to the provision
Of the Glass currency bill, which would
prohibit the movement of the reserve of
one of the regional reserve associations
into another region except when the Fed
eral Reserve Board approves such move
ment for the purpose of mobilizing the
reserve of the nation as a whole. The
President said he retained his confidence
in the wisdom of this provision, which
will prevent the Capitalization of the re-
serves of the country in the banks of
New York and other financial centers
where there is likelihood that they will
be loaned for speculative purposes.
The bankers desire that an alteration.
at least, be made in the present provi-
sion SO as to permit of the redepositing
of some percentage of their reserves out
side of their own regional association.
