most glorious single ship action in the
war Of 1912 between England and the

triumphs Of his countrymen during
that untoward war, nor will any Amer
lean grudge Englishmen an equally
legitimate pride In the famous achieve

Worried Over Move to Reopen
Investigation and Link 1t
with Currency Reform.
EXPECT CALL FOR ACTION
Planning to Check Henry or
Lindbergh if Either Tries
to Start Another Money
Trust" Crusade.
From TIE Tribune Bureau J

Washington. May S0.-Democratic lead
ers in the House are perturbed to-day
over the authentic reports that not only
is agitation on foot to reopen the money
trust" inquiry but that Representative
Henry. chairman OF the Rules Commit
tee. is determined to introduce a currency
and banking bill embodying many of the
reforms suggested by the Pujo commit
tee. II is also believed that Mr.. Henry
will introduce next week a resolution 70
reopen the money trust inquiry. II he
does not, Representative Lindbergh, Pro
gressiye and author OF the original reso-
luton. is prepared 10 take the initiative.
Mr. Henry refused to-day TO affirm or
deny reports that he wanted the inquiry
renewed and that plans TO this effect were
laid a. his recent conference with Samuel
Untermyer. Mr.. Henry acknowledged
that he was at work on a currency bill
which would be unlike the Glass bill.
Already schemes are under consdera-
ton for squelchnG Mr.. Henry and Mr..
Liudbergh, both OF whom are capable OF
stirring up trouble. \ Democratic leader
said to-day ne did not believe the new
Banking and Currency Committee would
sanction any attempt 10 reopen the Puio
inquiry
The WAYS and Means Committee, it is
understood, has been careful 10 see that
the Banking and Currency Committee is
composed Of conservatives" Mr.. Lind
hcrsh will 90 on the committee az Pro-
grcssiye member His presence will prac-
ucally preclude a unanimous and nom
partisan report on a currency reform bill.
The measure which Mr. Glass. prospective
chairman OF tho committee has in mind,
will not jibe with the ideas OF Mr.. Lind
hergh. who believes the money trust"
should he curbed Mr.. Henry and his adj
wiser, Mr. Untermyer arc reported 10 be
In accord in this view.
II the Henry-Lindbergh currency reform
plans are checked. II is evident that
strong pressure Will have 10 be brought
on the Democratic trouble maker. Mr.
Lindbcrgh alone may not cause concern.
but Democratic leaders recall that Nh
Henry. after three trials, finally damned
through a Democratic caucus more than
q year ago his resolution for an inycsti-
CATION of the money trust" The leaders
az that time we're opposed 10 such An in
vestigaton.
II is possible that II Mr.. Henry per-
sists in his demand for a resumption Of
the inquiry and the hating Of currency
legislation until IT is completed, he may
be called TO the White House for quiet
talk with Mr.. Wilson. who is now aiding
Mr. Glass and others in shaping an ad-
ministration currency bill.
Mr.. Glass has never been enthusiastic
over the Henry money trust Inquiry
and. as chairman OF the Banking and
Currency Committee. he will vigorously
oppose it, reoponing. Altogether the COM
pications regarding currency reform arc
sufficient To worry tho administration
leaders. and the currency caucus will
probably be a stormy affair.
