BRYAN AIDS IN
CURRENCY FIGHT
Letter Read at Democratic
Caucus is Big Help in De-
feating Proposed Amend
ment to the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Sup-
porters of the administration currency
bill scored an important victory in
the house democratic caucus Friday
when they brought to their aid an
unqualified endorsement Of the meas
ure from Secy. Bryan and defeated
proposed ''insurgent" amendments
that would have prohibited inter-lock-
ing directorates in National State
banks incorporated under the pro-
posed new law.
Secy. Bryan, in a letter addressed
rency committee, approved the bill as
it stands, declaring Pres. Wilson had
recognized fundamental rights of
popular control in its provisions. He
asserted that the plank of the demo-
cratic platform against inter-locking
directorates was aimed chiefly at
trusts and he urged democrats to
stand by the president, and not to
load down the currency bill with any
amendments that might endanger it's
early passage.
Fortified with the backing Of one
Of the makers Of the Baltimore plat
IOIHl, representatives OldSS anu On-
derwood met the demand for an
amendment to prohibit inter-lOcking
directorates with a counter proposal
that the democrats of the house take
up general legislation against inter-
locking directorates at the next ses-
sion.
A resolution by Rep. Underwood
adopted by a vote OF 130 to 60, re-
ferred the entire subject to the dem
ocratic members of the judiciary COM
mittee of the house and directed them
TO bring in a bill at the next session
Of congress that would prevent inter-
locking directOrates of all kinds.
Administration leaders Friday night
said the large vote that supported the
Underwood motion and the hearty
approval that greeted Secy. Bryan's
endorsement Of the bill. assured the
approval of the complete Glass bill
with but little change. There remains
several important amendments to be
considered, but it was declared that
the only important modification would
be a change TO make it clear that
agricultural paper will be given the
same credit as commercial or indus
trial paper.

WOOL SCHEDULE
CAUSES DEBATE
Sen. Warren Calls 1t a "Tariff
For Politics Only" Measure,
But Democrats Claim the
Votes.

WASHINGTON. Aug. e3.-Stub-
born opposition to free raw wool and
the radical reductions in wooden man
ufactures proposed IN the democratic
tariff bill was con- tied by repub-
licans of the senate al day Friday
and will be resumed Saturday.
Senators Warren of Wyoming and
Penrose of Pennsylvania addressed
the senate for six hours, the former
characterizing the proposed bill as
tariff politics only instead for
revenue-only", and the latter assert
ing that the woolen schedule as pre-
pared by the majority was distinct
ly against America and for Europe.
In the midst OF the days discus
sion. Sen. LaFollette of Wisconsin in
troduced the third minority substi-
tute for the wooden schSdule, the
others having been proposed by Sena-
tors Penrose and Smoot. The wide
divergence Of minority views on the
subject of wood demonstrated in this
triumvirate of measures was pleasing
TO democratic leaders who confidently
asserted that they did not need to
talk because 1--WE have the votes.
Though an effort will be made by
Chairman Simmons Of the finance
committee, and other majority mem
DtIS " BcN a NOlt Oll ttsC WOoACh
schedule by Saturday night, the vote
may be prolonged until next week
Senators LaFollette and Smoot plan
ming TO debate the measure at length
Sen. LaFOllette's proposal was dis
tinguished chiefly by IT'S rate Of Ii
per cent ad valorem on first grade raw
wool. a rate originally suggested by
democrats of the house ways and
means committee before Pres. Wilson
insisted upon free raw wool. The
LaFollette measure also proposed that
second grade raw woods be free and
would provide ad valorem instead OF
specific rates throughout, contrary &c
the recommendation of the tariff
board and the views Of his republican
colleagues, Senators Root and Pen
rose.

PIECE OF CAMBRIC is
FOUND NEAR CITY HALL
Police Hope TO Learn Who IL Was
That Placed Dynamite Near
Mayors Office.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-A piece of
bright colored cambric was the prin-
cipal clue Friday in the investiga-
tion of the city SA-l bomb mystery.
The cambria was wrapped around the
four sticks of dynamite found Thurs
day in an areaway directly below
Mayor Gaynor's window.
The bomb was anything but a hoax,
for the fuse had been lighted and
had gone out just before the spark
had reached the detonator. An ex-
plosion would have caved in the side
of the building. The detectives, how
ever. could not decide whether the
dynamite was meant for the mayor
or for some one in the marriage Ii
cense bureau, or was planted as a
protest against the city government in
general.
The cambria wrapper directed the
search Friday among Italian work
men employed in blasting out the new
subway. A shaft of the subway opens
near the city hall. The cambria was
a kind that is POPULAR among Italian
women of the working class. The
dynamite was too carefully arranged
TO admit a theory that it was dropped
by accident

Court Refuses Injunction to Stop =
Pianos in Rooms Adjoining
Saloons.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. q 23.-That sa-
loon keepers may have automatic pi-
amos and other music-producing ap-
paratus in cafes, restaurants or other
rooms adjoining their thirst-quench-
ing establishments was the ruling of
Judge Collier in a case involving 20
instruments. -.
These instruments will not be per-
mitted to be operated, however, when
the police authorities believe that the
law is being violated thereby.
The case in point was that of
Charles H. Shank, a relative of the
mayor, who owns some twenty auto
matte nickel-in-the-slot pianos doing
service in as many cafes and restaur-
ants adjoining, but not physically con-
nected with barrooms.
