In the event bill is passed over the

of California might vote on the merits

Washington, April 22.--Currency re-

first time today by the fun Senate com
mittee on banking and currency. AS
the result of a short session in which
plans for a financial bill were not dis
cussed in detail, 1t is believed that un-
less President Wilson should insist,
there will be no final action upon cur
rency legislation at the present session
of Congress.
Arrangements will be made for II
short series of hearings before the
Senate committee, to begin within few
