Secretary of State Bryan gave his un-

last night, follows:
81 am glad to indorse most earnestly
and unreservedly the currency bill which
aas heen prepared by the chairmen of
the two congressional committees, in
conjunction with the President and Sec
rotary McAdoo. 1t is much better bill
than l supposed IL possible to secure at
this time. Conflicting opinions honestly
entertained and strongly adhered to have

Gently the wisdom of attempting cur
rency legislation at this session. but my
doubts were largely due to the fact that

prevent an agreement upon a plan
The plan which the President now
urges confers great advantages upon the
banks, while it preserves to the people
acting through the government all that
is essential for the protection of the pub
lie. The notes are to be Treasury notes
issued by the government and loaned TO
the regional reserve banks. This is in
harmony with the democratic contention.
Retains Right of Issue.
There is no surrender of the govern
ments right to issue money. The board
of control is appointed by the President
Thus, the people, acting through the
government, are in entire control. This
is necessary for the protection of the.

TRIES TO MURDER
COURT PROSECUTOR
Ray N. Stewart, Aged 18,
Convicted of HoId-Up,
Draws Revolver.

Ray NJ. Stewart eighteen years old,
who was convicted recently of attempt
ing to hold up a colored man in Anacos-
tia. threw Criminal Court No. / into a
pandemonium this afternoon by whipping
out revolver and attempting to shoot
Assistant United States Attorneys Nc
Comas Hawken and Harvey Given. He
was overpowered just as he was turning g
toward Justice Stafford.
Three Shots Are Fired.
Justice Stafford had just refused a
petition to place the young man on
probation when he pulled the revolver.
Facing toward Mr.. Hawken and Mr..
Given he began shooting rapidly.
One Of the bullets narrowly missed
Mr. Hawken's head and was buried in
a window sill behind. He fired three
times before being overpowered
The man was turning toward Justice
Stafford as though to shoot at that
official when several policemen in the
courtroom leaped on him and over
powered him.
Courtroom in Uproar.
The courtroom was thrown into an up
roar by the shooting. and many of those
present dived for cover to escape being
shot. The entire occurrence came SO sud-
denly that few realized what was hap
pening until the man had been over
powered.
Mr.. Hawken had prosecuted the case
against Stewart. but Mr. Given had
not appeared against him. Evidence
had been brought in to show that the
young man should not be placed on
probation. and Justice StaffordPs de-
cision evidently enraged him.
Mystery as to Revolver.
After being overpowered Stewart was
disarmed. 1t is not known how he got
the revolver in his possession
Stewart is the youth who attempted to
rob Mrs. Arthur D. Moffett, wife of a
policeman. in Anacostia Mrs Moffett
was so frightened by Stewards appear
ance in her room that she went insane
and is now an inmate at the Government
Hospital for the Insane.

ASSERTS
MAN WAS KILLED
Body of Edgar G.. Howe Was
Found Propped Against
a Tree.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The body of
Edgar Clement Howe, a we'll known
gambler and cousin of the late George
V. Hawkins, was found by hunters
yesterday afternoon prOpped up in a
sitting posture against a haystack in
an outlying part Of Proviso. west of
Chicago
At the mans side was a revoiver or
the army type with three empty cham
bers. The hunters telephOned the po-
lice that they believed it suicide.
However, after Chief Fred w. Lick
of Forest Park, and Coroner's physi-
clan Burmeister had made a careful
examination of the man and his sur
rOundings they emphatically asserted
they had a murder mystery on their
hands.
Il found what appears to be the path
of bullet entering the head at the
right side and emerging at the crown -
said DR. Burmeister. However, further
examination disclosed three distinct
fractures of the skull The whole right
side of the skull was caved in There
was a four-inch cut across the right
side of the head, extending from the
cal " tAC SSb4O" 8 l. tllS w ctS d CREAM
incision to the bone How a man could
tnflict such injuries on himself is be-
yond my conception"
The mans pockets had been emp
tied" said Chief Lick. He lost large
amount of blood and yet there was no
trace Of blood where the body was
found. He wore new rubbers over tan
shoes and yet there was no mud on
the rubbers. The body was found in a
muddy field l am inclined to think
this man was killed some place else
and his body hidden here"
