CURRENCY BILL
IS NOW READY
Draft of Measure Approved by
Members of Committees.
GIVES SYSTEM OF RESERVE
Government, Banks and Business All
to Be Represented on Boards of
ControI-WiII Be Presented
to Bodies for Approval.

Washington, June 1.-THE final ten
tative draft OF the proposed banking
currency measure has been completed.
Senator Owen and Representative
Glass, chairmen respectively of the
senate and house banking and curren-
cy committees, in cooperation with
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury,
prepared the bill and an outline of it's
essential features is presented below.
The bill is ready to be submitted to
Democratic and Republican members
Of the two committees, who will be
asked for suggestions for improving it.
Under the terms of the bill the couu-
try will be divided into Is geographical
subdivisions, in each of which a re
sional reserve association may be
formed.
The federal board Of reserve, which
the bill will establish at Washington.
would be vested with authority to in
crease the number of such regional
associations.
The national banks in each of these
subdivisions would be required to par
ticipate in the formation of the region
al reserve associations, while state
banks which met certain conditions
and requirements Of organization
would be permitted to participate as
member banks of these associations.
There will be nine directors for each
regional reserve bank. Three Of these
directors will be bankers elected by
vote of the directors of the member
banks divided into three groups. Three
other directors will be business men
10 be elected by the member banks,
while the remaining three will be ap-
pointed by the president of the United
States.
Under this plan it is believed neither
the government, the banks, nor the
public will control the selection Of
these regional reserve banks, but they
will be named SO as to give the banks,
the government, and the public joint
representation.
Bach of these regional reserve as
sociations will be the reserve agency
for the member banks in it's respective
division of territory.
State banks desiring to joint these
associations and the national banks re-
CURED to do so, will each subscribe to
the capital stock of the association in
it's region in an amount prorated on It's
capital and surplus.
In each regional district the reserve
association will be the depository OF
the United States government.
Each regional reserve association
will be required to carry reserve OF
one-third to one-half of it's deposits.
The proposed federal board of re-
serve, to be established at Washing
ton, will be superimposed on the en-
tire system of regional reserve associ-
ations. This federal board will have
broad powers of supervision and regu-
lation.

SAX was formidable and their fort and
trenches OF the precipitous side Of the
crater not only supported each other
strongly, but were defended with mod
ern arms.
The Moros fanatically and continu-
ously tried to rush the American lines,
but the careful disposition of our
force held the American loss to a
minimum.

pine scouts commanded the right wing,
with Company M, Eighth regiment

company, Philippine scouts.
Capt Taylor A. Nichols Of the
Philippine scouts commanded the left
wing( with the Fifty first, Fifty second
and Twenty companies, Philip

Ian of the Philippine scouts, with two
companies, was supporting the gun on
Mount Bunga. and the American force
