Secretary Says Their Fears
of Currency Bill Are
GrOundlesS.
SEES NO REASON TO
WITHHOLD CREDITS
Administration Declares Apparent
Slump in Business Due to
misunderstanding.


Washington. Nov. 2s-Believing that the
bankers Of the country are acting from a
mistaken point OF view I'm Withholding
credit and piling up their reserves 10
meet the requirements of the proposeu
currency law. Secretary McAdoo issued a
statement tonight declaring. in effect
that such fears are groundless and that
the Treasury Department stands ready
10 aid the banks in making the necessary
changes.
There is little doubt that administration
leaders are alarmed to some extent, at
least, over the apparent slump In busi-
ness. which is attributed by them 10
a misunderstanding by national bank
ers Of the provisions OF the admins
tration currency bill and a boarding of
reserves in order 10 comply with the re-
serve requirements Of the proposed cur
rency system. This alarm is largely re-
sponsible for the adoption Of the radical
parliamentary programme by the Demo
cratic caucus of the Senate to pass the
bill before Christmas If possible.
Secretary McAdoo said that the trans
fers of capital and reserves TO the fed
eral reserve banks could be accomplished
with little or no inconvenience TO the
banks and 10 general business, and that
the Treasury had large available re-
sources at its comand which he would
not hesitate 10 use in assisting the banks
TO comply with the law If necessary. lie
also called attention to the fact that the
banks had called upon the Treasury for
only s34,66l 900 for crop moving purposes,
and that he would consider favorably and
on its merits the application of any bank
for an extension for thirty days of the
time during which these loans were pay

From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Nov. 2S-Moved by public
clamor and public criticism, Democrats OF
the House are preparing TO launch In self
defence an investigation OF the high cost
OF living and 10 fix the responsibility
therefor. Their plans provide that two
House committees shall begin work be
fore the holidays and while the inquir,
is not scheduled as a partisan one, Dem
ocrats will seek TO absolve, II possible,
the new tariff from any blame for the
condition OF the market.
The attack Of Representative Austin,
Tennessee Republican, upon the inef-
fectiveness Of the Democratic tariff law
in meeting the cost of living problem has
goaded members OF the majority to ac-
tion. and they intend TO show. II pos
sible. that the trusts are to blame. TWO
OF the executive branches OF the govern
ment. the Department of Agriculture and
the Department OF Justice, are invest-
eating the cause OF high prices, and n

Mr.. McAdoo's Statement.

The statement issued from the Treasury
Department follows:
Senator Pomerene to-day sent TO the
Secretary a letter from a prominent man
ufacturer in Ohio. in which he says:
1T has, of course. been quite as ap-
parent 10 YOU as to those OF us who are

March, and have advised their country
correspondents to make themselves just
as LIQUID as possible and stay so. in order
TO meet the provisions OF the bill In con-
sequence, we are absolutely at a stand
still
The Secretary said that similar com
plants had come TO him from other parts
Of the country, and that If the banks are
restricting credits TO the extent indicated,

able them TO meet the requirements Of

Reaional Banks Left Open.

The question OF the number of regional
reserve banks TO be created has Deeh Iei'
open. and probably Will be taken up TO-
morrow for settlement The Georgia Sen
ators insist that If the South Is to have
a regional bank IL should be located IN
Atlanta.
While progress was slow to-day, the
leaders were satisfied that the owen draft
of the bill finally would be adopted with
but few changes The question or Dihd-
ing the Democrats TO support the con-
ference bill as a party measure mas not
yet been taken up. but II is eXpec'eu
that binding resolution will be presented
after the bill has been completed.
Republican Senators probably Will not
take up the currency bill as party
measure. Leaders said to-day that they
had no plans for a Republican confer
ence, and declared their efforts TO amehu
the bill would be made on the floor Win
out regard to any agreement the Demo-
Gratis may reach to unanimously support
the owen bin.
The conference defeated tonight pro-
posal to broaden the redemption features
OF the bill so that the proposed Treasury
notes would be redeemable at the United
States Treasury in lawful money The
committee recommended that the final re-
demption be limited strictly TO gold, and
this position was upheld by the confer
ence. The bill as now agreed 10 permits
a note TO be redeemable in either gold or
lawful money" at the regional banks,
but in gold only at the Treasury.

The movement 10 prevent government

The caucus appeared to be strongly IN

ton within two years after the expira-
ton OF their terms OF office.

Ready to Aid Banks.

THE Secretary expressed the conviction
that the new law will impose no hardships
on the banks, and that the transfers OF
capital and reserves TO the proposed fed
eral reserve banks will be accomplished
with little or no inconvenience TO the
banks and TO general business. The Secre-
tary said that the Treasury Department
had large available resources at its COM
mand; that he should not hesitate to use
them for the purpose Of aiding the banks
10 comply with the new law, and that, in
his opinion, the banks could with perfect
safety proceed with the granting OF ac-
commodations TO their customers in the
normal and usual way.
The Secretary said that he did not, OF
course. assume TO advise the banks-he
only wanted them and the business public
TO know that there IS no ground for APP
prehenslon, and that the attitude OF the
Treasury Department IS TO be helpful, and
that he thought it could be effectively
helpful. He said that If any banks are
laboring under the impression that the
new law will necessitate or occasion a
restriction OF credits, they are controlled
by error. as no such thing will result.
THE Secretary stated that up to date
the banks had called upon the Treasury
for only $34.661.OOO for crop moving pur-
poses that these deposits We're. under the
arrangements, to be returned in four in
stalments. beginning December Is and
ending March /.
The Secretary said that he would con-
slider favorably and upon It's merits the
application Of any national bank holding
crop moving deposits for a postponement
for thirty days OF the time for beginning
repayments. so that payments may com
mence on January 10. 1914. instead Of on

Auburn will line up with Pitts, cen

BETTORS IN AIR
OVER ODDS ON
TITLE SERIES

WV YORK, Oct. with the first
N game of the worlds series clash
between the Giants and Ath-
letics only 70 hours away, there ex-
listed to-day among the professional
betting fraternity a greater degree of
uncertainty in which to lay their wa
gers than has ever before character
lied a meeting between the pennant
winners of the rival major leagues.
In Philadelphia, OF course, the radi-
cal Athletic rooter Is betting the
money he has saved on lunches and
car fare on the home team at what
ever odds he can get; the New York
fans are backing the Giants in SINH
lar fashion. But the professional
gamblers, the men who wager hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars annu
ally on the outcome OF the baseball
classic, are up in the air"
In another year they have been
guided largely by the baseball dope"
They weighed the batting, fielding
and pitching strength Of the con-
tending teams according to their per-
formances during the regular season,
and then plunged on the team that
"doped" out stronger.
But in those other years the dope"
has gone wrong Star players who
were expected to lead their teams in
both offensive and defensive playing
fooled, fizzled and were disappoint-
ments Mediocre players, of whom
little was expected, worked terrible
havoc with their war clubs and per
formed some scintillating stunts in
the field. The uncertainties, tho pc
culiar twists Of baseball wedged their
way into the battles and upset prac-
tically every calculation
So far no big bets have been reg
istered. The gamblers are jockeying
They want odds one way or the other
but no offers Of better than even
money have so far been made. The
gambling element Is trying to drive
the odds 1 OTTO .. not caring which
team is on the big end, but their eff
forts so far have been fruitless.

we know now as the puzzling cross

When Coach Foreman saw the

pitcher, but the scouting and tipping
system Of the big leagues was not
working as carefully in those days,
and he passed unnOticed until Fore

to the telegraph counter with the re-
suit that Plank reported TO the club

his heart just at the root Of his
tongue" as he put 1t. 1t, the heart
must have moved back to its proper
place in a hurry, for he jumped into
the game the day after he landed and
he won eight straight. He has been
winning rather sedulously ever since
