THE creation of those letters assumed
to have been from me to Mr.. Pindell' as

Senate Committee Gets Free
Rein to Reach an Agreement
and Report a Measure.
BILL IN FORMER STATUS
Action Taken After Chairman
Owen Tells Democrats That
Compromise Could
Be Reached.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Nov. 12.-The Democratic
conference of the Senate. confronted with
belligerency in its own ranks, avoided
fight over currency legislation to-day by
giving the Democratic members of the
Banking and Currency Committee free
rein to reach an agreement among them
selves and report measure TO the Sen
ate.
Senator owen, the chairman OF the
committee. assured the conference that
such an agreement could be reached
This was understood to apply only TO the
Democratic members. with the exception
OF Senator Hitchcock, whose views. 1t APP
pears, cannot be reconciled with those OF
his colleagues who support the admins
tration measures. The report VIII PROP
ably be a disagreement so far as the en-
tire committee is concerned.
The threat implied by the assembling OF
the Democratic forces was not made to-
day when the conference met. One mem
Der compared 1t to the army Of the King
which marched up the hill and down
again. At the close of the meeting the
currency bill was left with the Demo-
cratic members Of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, where ii was before
and with the prospect Of bringing the
contendng forces on the whole committee
to an agreement or compromise apparently
as remote as ever
IL is probable that the six administra-
ton members. including Senators Reed
and O'Gorman, will stand by the House
measure with the few alterations which
will be acceptable TO the President. The
committee might then decide TO report
an agreement on those portions of the bill
over which there is no controversy and
which are largely technical in character
and a disagreement on the number OF re-
gional banks, the stock issue and control.
The course of the Republicans VIII de-
pend on the proposals that will be made
by the administration members to-mor-
row. when the fun committee meets. II is
possible that If the currency question is
to be made a party issue the Republicans
will refuse to sign the report of even an
agreement in part. and submit bill OF
their own, accentuating the Democratic
stand for bank control Of the regional re-
serve banks. as contrasted with govern
mental control.

SHE TALKED LADlN0,
WHICH BEATS ESPERANTO
Woman Who Testified Only in
Almost Extinct Jargon
Puzzled Court.

All the interpreters in the Supreme
Court and General Sessions were sum-
moned by Justice GieSerich yesterday
and every one of them gave up trying 10
tell the Justice what Mrs. Annis Ergas
was trying to testify I'm her suit for an
annulment of her marriage 10 Maurice
Ergas. Finally counsel for Mrs. Ersas
sending for Albert j. Amateau'
a settlement worker. Amateau alone un-
derstood the strange jargon OF the plain
tiff. and repeated her story as follows:
"When ] was only seventeen years old
was married to Maurice Ergas, not
knowing that he was my uncle. The ais
coyery was made early In the evening,
soon after the ceremony was performed.
One OF the guests at the wedding told me
that he knew my uncle well ana that
the man / had Just been welded to was
my uncle. the brother OF my father. ana
that such a marriage was held to be high
ly improper In this country"
Justice Giegerich intimated that ne
would grant the annulment.
What language does she speak," he
inquired of Amateau.
"Ladino," the Interpreter replied.
ITS a new one to me. Where does IL
thrive" the court inquired.
"The language Is almost extinct" re-
piled Mr.. Amateau. 1T Is mixture OF
archaic Spanish with old Arabic and Is
a relic of the days when members OF a
certain sect were driven through Spain
into Africa because Of their religion. the
sect being entirely composed OF Turkish
Jews. They then became widely scat
tered. Only very few speak anything
like the original Ladino."
