NEW YORK OFFICIALS

Governor Felker of New Hampshire to

Harry Thaw.

CONCORD, n. H, Oct s.-The New

Felker 10 postpone for a time his de-

The governor said tonight he proba bly,

As the governor understands the situa-

Governor Felker said tonight that he
had received from William Travers Jer-

against Thaw by the Dutchess county
grand jury and substantially withdrawn:
also an affidavit by District Attorney
Conger Of Dutchess county that no In

CURRENCY BILL
To FOLLOW THE
NEW TARIFF ACT
President Wilson Opposed to
Any Undue Delay on Part
of fSenate in Carrying Out
Party Programme.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Political
Washington, relieved of the long drawn
out consideration of the tariff, Will
focus it's attention this week on bank
ing and currency legislation.
Though the administration currency
bill easily passed the house. its path.
way in the senate is admittedly full or
obstacles. At present the senate bank
ing committee has not yet begun con-
sideration of the bill.
While there was q unanimlty OF opin-
ion on the principle OF tarlf1 REVISION,
widely divergent views are held by
Democratic senators on banking reform.
A strong desire for single bank with
branches under government control, IN
stead of a regional reserve system or
banks, has made its appearance In the
informal discussion. It is regarded as
doubtful if q bill satisfactory to the
banking committee can reach the floor
of the senate before the middle Of No
vember.
The president wants thorough consid-
GRAFTON of the currency bill and any
improvement that the senate can make
upon the measure as passed by the
house will be welcomed. His disposi-
ton, however, is to oppose strongly
any undue delay.
President Wilson believes a general
decrease in the cost Of living that Will
be felt by the rank and file of the couu-
trv is not dependent alone on tariff re-
vision, but upon prompt reform of the
nations monetary system as well as
careful amendment Of the antitrust
laws. Even though the tariff laws
might bring many imports into this
country at low rates or free of duty,
the evils of price-fxing. underseliing
and other determinations in restraint
of trade might, in the president s opin-
ion, defeat the fruits Of tariff reform.
Another essential to free competi-
tion, in the president s view. is free
dom of credit. With the concentration
OF credit, what the president in his
Chicago speech last January described
as An Efinner CIRCLE even the benefits
of trust regulation and tariff reduction
can be withheld from the consumer by
the sitting of enterprise.
None of the administration leaders
entertain the slightest idea that the tar
if will have any adverse effect. On the
other hand, in pushing forward the cur
rency programme they have pointed
out that an elastic financial system is
necessary now more than ever to meet
a natural enlargement of business oper-
ations following the influx of foreign
products for the low duties.
AS soon as the December session
opens the administration will begin to
center its attention on antitrust pro-
