HOWARD BILL To
RETIRE BONDS
INTRODUCED
Georgia Congressman Says His
Plan Solves Currency Puzzle and
Cuts Interest Farmers Pay.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Repre-
sentative William Schley Howard. of
Georgia. to-day introduced a bill to
accomplish the plan he submitted to
the House the other day to settle one
of the most troublesome problems in
the new currency bill-the retirement
of the $7OO,OOO.OOO per cent bonds
| securing national bank notes and the
refunding of this bonded indebted =
ness.
The bill provides for the refunding
of the outstanding national bank 2
per cent bonds with postal savings
bonds distributed to the people. These
bonds will bear per cent interest,
will be payable at the Treasury of
the United States and will be cur
rent and cashable anywhere within
the United States.
1t provides also that IS per cent
OF the sum so collected through the
postal savings banks system may be
placed in the State and national
banks in the vicinity in which the
postal savings are accumulated on
condition that the deposits do not
exceed in any institution the capital
| stock and one-half of the surplus OF
the institution.
The deposits thus made by the Gov
eminent are to draw 1-2 per cent
| interest.
AS the bonds sold at retail to the
people will draw per cent and the
Government will receive 21-2 per
cent. the additional IL per cent will
be used to pay the expenses of the
entire system, and Mr.. Howard thinks
this will be done with plenty of mar
gin TO spare.
one Of the important results OF
he plan, in Mr.. Howard's opinion,
will be a reduction in the rate of in
terest charged by the banks of the
country on loans.
Whereas, the farmers of Georgia
must now pay per cent when they
borrow money from the banks" said
Mr. Howard to-day, they will be
able to get 1t at per cent if my
1 bill goes into effect"

Wilson Has Plan for
Modified Futures Tax.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-House
and Senate conferees on the tariff will
begin consideration of the few items
in dispute to-day with the expectation
that agreements soon will be reached.
Passage of the tariff bill necessarily
viii be delayed for at least a week,
owing to the agreement of the con-
ferees to disagree on the cotton fu-
lures taxation section.
1t is believed that President Will
son has advised the COnferees to re-
port a disagreement with the ex-
peCtatiOn that the House then will
initiate a modified form of taxation
on cotton futures which the Senate,
receding from the extreme position
taken in the Clarke cotton futures
taxation amendment, will accept.
Such an agreement was impossible in
conference because the Senate con-
ferees felt themselves to be bound by
the complete support given the Clarke
amendment by the Senate.

tried Saturday.

nice Dease are emphatic in declaring
that Denton persuaded them to make
the trip.
The little Dease girl declared that
when she got to the Terminal Station
in Atlanta, preparatory to making the
trip, she decided not to go. At this
Denton struck her heavily in the
breast, she declares, and told her IF
you don't go I'll kill you"
According to the story told by Elsie
Elliot, she was employed as Denton's
stenographer. Several times, she said,
he suggested that she take trip, and
she, taken with the romantic idea
contained in the suggestion, finally
consented. The Dease girl. who was
the Elliot girls chum also agreed
to go, it is said. Denton thereupon
gave the two money and told them to
buy ticket to Birmingham, but not
to mention to any one that he had
supplied the funds, said the girl, de-
