MEASURE PASSES The HOUSE By
A LARGE MAJORITY
Other PARTIES SPLIT
Twenty-four Republicans and -Four.
teen Progressiyes Vote With DEM
ocrats for Passage.-BM as Sent to
Senate Practically Unchanged
From Original Draft.

The complete revision Of American
banking and currency methods pro-
posed in the Democratic currency bill
was started on its way to the statute
books Thursday. BY a vote OF 286 to
"a, the House Of Representatives
passed the bill in almost the same
form as it originally was proposed.
Twenty-four Republicans and four
teen Prcgressives voted for the bill.
With this oyerwhe Ginning House ma
jority and the endorsement of Presi-
dent Wilson behind 1t, the measure
was sent over to the Senate. There
it was referred to the banking and
currency committee, where hearings
already are In progress. commit
tee may not be ready for several
weeks.
The measure would eliminate the
present American bank note system,
under which banks issue currency
against government bonds, and es-
tablish a currency issued by twelve
federal banks, based on sound COM
mercial paper, which the government
assumes the responsibility Of redeem
ing.
1t would place virtually every
phase OF banking under the control
Of federal reserve board Of seven
members, appointed by the Presi-
dent, and council of bankers, which
would have only advisory powers.
The system would be administered
through revenue banks in twelve
geographical divisions Of the cosntry,
each capitalized at about $4,000, 900,
which capital must be subscribed by
banks in the reserve district.
Ten days of earnest consideration
in the House failed to alter the bill
in any material particular, and it
passed virtually as drawn by Repre-
sentative Glass, Of Virginia, chair
man Of the House banking and cur
rency committee, after conference
with Senator Owen, chairman of the
Senate committee. Throughout the
debate Republicans and Progressives
vigorously denounced the methods
employed In framing the bill and in
perfecting its details in caucus. The
caucus lines held firm, though, and
no amendments were adopted.
The Senate hearings may continue
for several days The committee It.
self is expected to take weeks in the
discussion Of the measure, although
the administration forces in the Sem
ate hope to force an early report to
the floor, where further extended de-
bate is looked for.

|N|TKOSk| DYING
AF TER ASSAUL 7
KuChinski Held in ST, 900 Bail
for the Grand Jury.

The condition of Stephen Mitkoski,
of ell Cortlandt street, is precarious
and 1t is doubtful if he will recover
from the effects of fracture at the
base of his skull, which he sustained
when, 1t Is alleged, Thursday morn
Ing he was knocked to the pavement
in Hall avenue by John Kuchinski, of
635 Cortlandt street. According to
DR.. M. 8. Meinzer, who has charge
of Mitkoski at the city hospital, the
base of the mans skull is fractured
and there Is a dangerous pressure on
the brain, which makes his chances
for recovery precarious.
II Mitkoski dies Kuchinski, who is
being held in $1,000 bail to await
the outcome of Mitkoskl's injuries,
will probably be held for homicide to
await the action of the grand jury.
Kuchinski remains In jail. He had
almost persuaded bondsman to be
security for him when it was report
that Mitkoski was in a worse condi-
ton at the hospital and the bonds
man withdrew.

Mayor Garretson and Police
Will See That Clothing and
Food Stores Will be Closed
Tomorrow To Aid Clerks.
\ MERCHANTS MEETING
Action the Result of Numerous
Complaints on Part of Law
Abiding Merchants and the
Clerks Union of This City.

AS means Of aiding store clerks
ana OF 1nsuring a square deal to
merchants generally, Mayor Ferd
Garretson and the police are making
a concerted effort to have all cloth
ing, grocery, meat and vegetables
stores closed on Sunday. Chief of
Police Patrick ]. Burke says he will
have men out tomorrow to pay spec
ial attention to this feature and see
that such stores are kept closed.
Mayor Garretson is arranging for a
meeting Of merchants and business
men In an endeavor to bring about
the desired reform by cooperation.
He desires that the storekeepers
unite in concerted movement to
keep places of business closed on the
Sabbath. Just as the BARRIERS did a
few years ago.
This action is the result Of numer-
GUS complaints ON the part OF law
abiding merchants and the clerks'
union Of this city, X Is d part of the
clerks fight for shorter hours. At
the present time they are using every
effort to improve their working con-
ditions, especially to avoid spending
many long hours in stores each day
Their request for such an improve
ment is met with the plea from their
employers that they must keep open
late to compete with the several
merchants who keep open on Sunday.
The mayor and police have found
that those who do business on the
Sabbath are far in the minority, the
greater number of merchants being
desirous to rest with others on the
day which is set aside for that pur-
pose. 1t has even been found that
some persons do a Sunday business
Just because a. nearby storekeeper
does. In endeavoring to bring about
change for the best, 1t is the aim
to have such places kept closed as
will not inconvenience the public. 1t
is not desired to enforce the old blue
laws to the extent of closing candy,
soda and cigar stores, but to end the
sale Of groceries, meats and similar
commodities which ordinarily should
be purchased on other days.
In the crusade started by the
police, especial care will be taken to
prevent a breach of the law under
The fact that fruits, sodas
and cigars are kept in store will
not enable the merchant to sell
groceries, meats, vegetables or cloth
ing.

Headed by Joseph Quick, Resi-
dents Appear Before Alder
men at Committee Meeting
and Ask for Improvement.
NOT A PRINCIPAL STREET
Council Members Claim Efforts
Should be Confined to White
Way on State Street-Ex-
penSe Would be Too Large.

An ornamental white way is de-
sired by some of the residents along
Market street, between city hall park
and the Central railroad tracks. A
number of these, headed by Joseph
B. Quick. of 141 Market street, ap-
peared before the Board of Alder
men at their committee meeting last
night and presented q petition for
such an improvement. The subject
was discussed briefly and then laid
over for future consideration.
Some OF the aldermen looked fav-
orably upon the idea, considering the
arguments in favor of it, but it ap-
pears unlikely that it will be car
ried through at this time because
Of the expense. The city fathers
seem desirous of concentrating their
efforts on such improvements for
the city's principal business streets,
rather than erecting brilliant illum-
mating schemes promiscuously about
the city. For the past several weeks
they have been directing their at
tention to an appeal for a white way
on State street. Several of the most
prominent business men have broach-
ed the subject to them.
A Real White Way.
Mr.. Quick and the other Market
street residents interested In the
erection of a white way there, have
informed the aldermen that 1t should
be done to advertise the city, if for
no other purpose. They point to
the extensive automobile traffic on
Market street, holding it to be about
the principal gateway to the city.
One of their chief arguments in
favor of the plan is that the thous-
ands Of automobilists who pass
through the city each year would be
impressed with brilliant illumin-
ating arrangement and would there
by gain favorable impression of
the city.
The tentative plan advanced is to
erect ornamental iron lamp posts
about 200 feet apart along both
sides of the street, each to have three
lights encased in white globes, some
what similar to those now in city
hall park.
