Final Action on the
Currency Bill Not
Considered Probable

Washington, April 15.-Final action upon
O. currency reform bill at the present
session of Congress Is not considered
probable by members of the Senate CON-
n,ittee on banking and currency. Plans
for the preparation of legislation were
outlined briefly today at a meeting OF
the democratic members of the commit
tee; but the actual preparation OF bill
to be presented to Congress will not be
completed for some time.
Senator Owen will introduce a resolu-
tion as a result of todays conference
providing for additional hearings under
the direction OF the committee. These
hearings will not begin, however,, until
the members OF the Senate committee
have studied the hearings of the money
trust" and currency reform committees
of the House.
The conference last night. participated
in by Secretary MeAdoo, Senator Owen
and Representative Glass, further de-
veloped the scope of the currency leg
islation that is to be brought forward
under the Wilson administration. Presi-
dent Wilson has not gone into the cur
rency problem in detail however and
il will be some time before he is ready
to devote his fun attention to it,
In the meantime the House and Sen
ate drafts of prospective legislation will
be testantively rounded out and efforts
made to agree upon fundamental steps
that shall characterize the remodeling OF
the nations financial system. Senator
Owen said today that the bill, when
finally presented to the Senate, would
come as committee bill. Several meas
ures now before the committee, includ-
ing the Hitchcock, Weeks and Jones bills
will be given consideration.
While democratic members only partic-
ipated in today's conference, republican
members of the Senate committee ex-
pect to be consulted fully in the prepara-
ton OF financial legislation and that the
subject will be treated in a non-partisan
manner. The House committee has not
yet been organized. but it is expected
that Representative Glass will be its
chairman.

OTHER WITNESSES GIVE
SIMILAR ACCOUNTS

There were several other witnesses of
the shooting, whose account closely fol-
lows that of Mr.. Allgood.
Coroner G. l.. Spain said last night:
sI will hold thorough investigation in
a few days on this latest killing outrage
Yesterday afternoon l gathered together
ali the principal witnesses and will be
ready for the inquest Immediately fol-
lowing the death of Hayne Moore, whom
am told will die
The Rev Curtis Shugart, Baptist re-
vivaist, and brother of Roland Shu-
CART, said last night: This unfortunate
affair was brought about by the fact that
my brother brought suit for divorce
against his wife last Saturday, charging
misconduct. His wife had warned him
that if he brought the divorce suit on
that ground that her brothers would
kill him.
MY brother disregarded the warning
and started the divorce proceedings and
he now lies dead. 1 feel depressed about

1t was said that all representations
were in the nature of remonstrances
against proposed changes in duties on
articles in which the countries of the
diplomats are interested, or were di-
rected at sections of what is known as
the administrative part of the tariff
bill. Some of the diplomats have not
hesitated to declare themselves more
concerned about the administrative fea-
lures of the tariff than in any proposed
changes in the actual rates of duty.
The Brazilian ambassador who called
on Secretary Bryan today about an
other matter referred to some of the
tariff questions and it is believed also
discussed briefly the differential duty
on American flour imported into Brazil.
AS part of plan to demand q sched-
ule by schedule revision of the tariff,
Senator Cummins today introduced a
Senate resolution asking that the rules
be changed so that senators might de-
mand separate vote upon any provi-
sion in a conference report on tariff
