inc mouse ana s'l''' 'ou"y was the
presidents text for the currency
message, which was presented TO
congress, assembled in joint session
In the house chamber Both demo-
Gratis and republicans saw I'm the
appeal of the president am earnest
conviction that the money situation
must be dealt with before congress
adJourns ard preparations were made
to begin committee work ON the ad-
minislratIcn bill which win soon Ic
introduced in the house by Represrn-
tatirc Gl4a, and in the senate hy
Senator Owen.
From the rostrum of the house
chamber the president, i'm carefully
modulatcd tones that carried his
words TO every corner of the cham
ber read the brief message he had
prepared. Crowded galleries, cabinet
officials senators and representatives,
democrats and republicans, sat in "a
tense silence as the president with
forceful earnostness told them;
MlIst Act Now.
ut is plainly clear that ii is our
duty to supply the new banking and
curreney system the country needs,
and that it Will Immediately need
moer than ever
I'VE must act now whatever the
sacrifices to ourselves, | should be
recreaDt 10 my deepest convictions Of
public obligation, did | not impress
upon you with solemn and urgent in
sistcnce.'
The occasion was the presidents
second defiance Of the custom OF 100
years which sent presidents messages
long dull documents-to be dron-
ed to weary congressman by a hoarse-
voiced c'crk. The seante ana house
gathered in the house chamber where
the galleries already had been
crowded, ana the members chatted
whilo they awaited the presidents
coming. The cabinet officers except
Secretary Of state Bryan and Secrc-
tary Daniels, who were with their
wives, occupying gallery seats, had
places ON the floor OF the house.

the presidents diction and intonation
forced on their attention When he
had concluded, there was a burst of
applause and he bowed his wav out,
ptrer shaking hands with Vice Presl-
sert Marshall and Speaker Clark.
At both house and senate ends of
the capitol and among both demo-
Gratis and republicans tonight the
conviction was deeply fixed that the
nresident's solemn and earnest insist
ence on currency legislation would
result in immediate activity in the
legislative branch. Chairman Glass
of the house banking and currency
committee and Chairman owen of
the senate committee. both conferred
with the president after he deliver
edhis address and both prepared for
the early introduction OF the admin
istration currency bill. which now is
being revised in some minor features
Of phraseologv.
The bill will go into both houses
this week
