FEARS Financial
panic IS COMING
MONETARY COMMISSION URGES
IMMEDIATE ACTION ON
CURRENCY.
MONEY MARKET IS TIGHT
Wall Street Pulls the Strings-Pan-
icky Congressman Says Coun-
try Is in Distress.

WASHINGTON, Jan 21.-That it is
not unreasonable but wholly in ac-
cordance with past experience to eX-
pect financial panic similar to the
one in 1907 at some time in the fu-
ture," was the declaration Of Repre-
sentative Carter Glass of Virginia,
chairman of the subcommittee of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency, in an address tonight at the
convention Of the national chamber Of
commerce. No one could tell, Mr..
Glass said, when such a financial dis
aster would come, but he declared
there are symptoms that should not
go unobserved.'
At the outset of his talk Mr.. Glass
called particular attention to the
statement, made recently before his
committee by a banker Of the west,
that not even during the panic Of 1907
did he experience greater difficulty
in meeting the demands upon him
than during the last autumn, when
Ne was obliged to let his reserves run
down to accommodate his customers.
II would not commit myself to any
definite prediction as to a recurrence
Of the trouble in 1907" said Mr.. Glass
"but | do say that 1t would be the
height of folly for us to defer action
until It is forced upon us by the Inn
minence Of panic"
Representative Glass ridiculed the
idea that the Aldrich-Vreeland cur
rency act which expires June 30, 1914,
is a preventative Of panlcs. He de-
clared that although 1--WE have just
passed through a situation almost
as critical as that Of 1907, not a single
ing to hoist the signal Of distress that
would be involved in making appli-
cation for the sort Of currency which
the Aldrich-Vreland act authorizes"
The speaker insisted that currency
reform Is urgent and the time ripe for
action. "Postponement can result only
I'm embarrassment" said he, per
haps in actual disaster" He pointed
out that upon the business and COM
mercial men of the country rests a
large part of the responsibility for
action or inactivity. The fact that
currency reform has not yet been
accomplishing, the speaker ascribed to
the Indifference Of the business pubic
and he gave warning that unless they
act promptly the demedial legislation
80 sadly needed will long be de-
ferred."
Representative Glass attributed the
apparent unwilllngness Of congress to
act to the refusal of those who profit
by those who profit by present con-
ditlons to yield anything when rem
edy involving sacrifice on their part
Is proposed, He expressed the con-
viction that the chief points to be
dealt with in any effective measures
Of relief are:
Provision for rediscount or sale Of
commercial paper in a way and to an
extent that will enable banks TO get
resources whenever their customers
may require; the issue OF n safe and
elastic paper currency, gradually dis
placing the bond secured bank notes;
regulation Of government deposits Of
current funds with the banks Of the
country and lastly more stringent In
spection of banks.

Fisher of the interior department, the
house Indian affairs committee today
troversy between the secretary, depos-
ed members OF the tribal council of
the Usage Indians, and the Uncle Sam
Oil company over leases to Indian
oil lands granted by the deposed coun-
ell to the Uncle Sam company. Sec
retary Fisher was emphatic in his op-
position TO the granting Of the leases
TO the Uncle Sam company and caus-
tic In his criticisms Of the conduct OF
the company In procuring the leases.
Mandamus Denied.
While the secretary was testlfying,
the United States district court here
dismissed an application for a writ OF
mandamus that would force him to
reinstate the deposed officials of the
Indian tribe. The court held that the
law conferred on the secretary the
power to remove the tribal chiefs and
council for good cause"
Secretary Fisher set forth that he
objected to the Uncle Sam leases be-
cause they gave the Indians a royalty
Of ope-elghth on the oil developed. in
stead OF at least one-sixth which he
believed them entitled to and because.
under the leases, the entire tract OF
100000 acres would go 10 the Uncle
Sam company, whereas he favored the
development by small holders. In
statement as to his reasons for re-
moving the chiefs and councilmen,
Secretary Fisher said that Bacon Rlnd,
the principal chief: Red Eagle. the
assistant. and Tom West. one of the
councilmen. were removed because the
department held their confessions

nection with oil lands In 1906 The

No Place FOR Politicians.
John r. Cosgrove, n democrat and

The president-elect told the delega-

knew Its interests. but he saw no rea-
son to dlsplace Colonel Bryant, who
had performed his duties faithfully
