TT regards the measure as piece of

Vehemently Scores
The Currency Bill.

New York, Oct. 14.-Declaring that
the Owen Glass currency bill, now
before Congress- was Born in eau
Gus and Graded in politics since its
inception" A. Barton Hepburn, chair
man of the Chase National Bank of
New York attacked today, the Will
sen administration measure. Mr.. Hep
burn was one of the speakers at the
National Conference on currency re-
form which opened here. today, under
the auspices of the New York Acad
envy of Political Science. AT the con-
ference leading figures in the admin
istration's fight for the currency bill
clashed with bankers opposed to the
measure.
Senator Robert l.. owen, sponsor in
the Senate for the currency bill; Rep
resentative Carter Glass. who led the
fight for the bill in the House. and
Rep. Robert j. Buckley of Ohio, MEM
Der of the House committee on bank
ing and currency, staunchly defended
the administration plan. Arthur Rey
nolds Of Des Moines. president of the
American Bankers Association, and
Mr.. Hepburn spoke for the bankers OPP
posed to the bill. Representative Glass
was unable, on account of illness. to
attend the conference and the speech
he had prepared was read into the
record.
The debate revolved largely about
the wisdom of compelling national
banks to join in the proposed system,
under penalty of losing their charters.
Various amendments to the bill
were suggested by Prof. o. M. w.
Sprague of Harvard University. Pro-
fessor +. w. Kemerer of Princeton
University; Alexander d. Norcross of
the Evening Post and E. II. Parker
Willis of the Journal of Commerce
also made addresses. which were fol-
lowed by a general discussion.
Tomorrow's sessions win bring the
conference to a close.

Australian Mines Safe,

In the mines, other than coal, of
New South Wales during 1912, 81 men
were killed and 30 seriously injured
This is a death rate of 1,565 per 1000,
and is slightly more than the average
for the last five years. In Queensland,
the number of deaths was 70 and the
number of accidents 1873 for the same
year. This corresponds to a death rate
of 2.45 per 1000. and is the highest OBJ
tanning in Queensland since 1885, Of
the 26 fatal accidents, two occurred in
shafts, II We're due to falls of ground
and five were the results of accidental
explosions. These figures, taken from
the annual reports of the mining de-
partments of the two states in ques-
ton. show that Australia is far ahead
of the United States in the question of
mine safety. Taking our death rate
somewhere between and ). it is evil
dent that we have long way to go
yet before attaining to the standard
set by the southern commonwealth.
The cause is not far to seek. Condi-
lions in American mines are not es
sentially any more dangerous, and the
character of our labor is as high or
higher. 1t is simply that in Australia,
public opinion, as reflected in the ae-
tions of the government, has done its
work. The great interest taken by the
state governments in the question of
safety is we'll evidenced in the reports
mentioned. The Queensland report.
for instance. includes complete list
and detailed analyses of all the acct
dents occurring during the year, the
study of which is sure to be of the
greatest value as indicating the lines
along which accident prevention must
move.-Engineering and Mining Jour-

this he concluded there was a definite
relation between the chemical action

and thus, following up his argument

the conclusion that the total amout of
energy of a given system is constant.
that energy can neither be created nor
destroyed. but only converted from one
form into another.
