tive offices. The two men stood near
ly an hour leaning against the iron
fence along Executive avenue.
Chairman Glass of the house cur
IenCy COnInlItee, however, was not
sure that the bill would be introduced

by conferences at the White Houss

vestigating committee, conferred to-
day with Representative Henry on
the congressman's movement to re-
open the money trust" hearings.

their colleagues appointment Of an
other special committee to inquire
into the workings of the so-called
