HOUSE BILL
FAVORED IN
CURRENCY
Senate Committee Reports IL
Regional Bank Schemes
to Senate

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Senate
banking currency committee today re-
ported Its agreement to disagree by
presenting two separate measures for
currency reform. One was framed by
Senator w. Owen and five of his dem
ocratic colleagues, and the other was
framed by Senator Hitchcock. a demo-
cratic member, and five republican
members of the committee.
In the house bill it is provided that
the regional banks be governed by a
board of nine directors, three to be
named by the government, six by the
banks, with proviso that the fed
eral reserve board should have power
to remove three of the bank appoint
ees.
The Owen bill retains this provision
except that the federal reserve board
is given power to remove all bank
appointees.
The Hitchcock plan provides the
government in the beginning shall
appoint a majority of the board and
the banks should name four members
only. The Hitchcock report defends
the public ownership and control of
the board on the ground of the pro-
priety of the public ownership of pub
lie service institutions.
The Owen-Glass measure provides
for pairing of checks which In ef-
feet would wipe out exchange profits
on which many small banks depend
for their dividends. The Owen bill
retains this provision, while the
Hitchcock draft specifically states
that banks shall be permitted to make
reasonable exchange charge.

STILL
CLIMBING
SKYVVARO
Wholesale Price Reaches 65
Cents a Dozen; Experts Say
Worst Is Yet to Come

The price of eggs is still soaring
skyward and ii is predicted that the
"hen fruit" famine will continue dur
ing the present cold weather and that
the price of this necessary food will
become still higher.
Eggs are selling by the producers
today at SIS cents dozen. the highest
price this season. This means they
will be sold today at retail at nearly
20 cents a dozen. the result of a
steady rise during the last week.
The total number of eggs received
at the local egg exchange today
totaled considerably less than yester-
day, which was $4,000 dozen. During
the month Of April this year the ar
rivals numbered close to 10000 dozen
day.
Officials of the San Francisco
Wholesale Producers exchange de-
clared this morning that they expect
the price will be higher within a few
days and the number of arrivals far
less. The wholesalers say that the
price will not probably drop until
after Thanksgiving.
Local eggs at their present figure
have now reached the price paid by
New York consumers several weeks
ago.
The cause given for this condition
is shortage of good feed for the hens,
cold weather and general conditions

HUNDREDS MOURN
:. DEATH OF MARBLE
Interstate Commissioner Was
Well Known in This City,
Where Career Began

Expressions of grief were voiced to-
day by hundreds here who had known
John III. Marble, interstate commerce
commissioner, who died suddenly in
his Washington home last night of
uraemic poisoning.
Mr.. Marble was formerly linotype
operator in San Francisco. He came
here several years ago. Being good
talker and an able organizer. he be-
came well known and liked in union
circles While working at his trade
he studied law and later entered the
Office of Franklin K. Lane. with whom
he afterward practiced. Later he be-
came secretary of the interstate COM
merce commission and received great
praise for his work for the govern
ment.
When Mr. Lane was appointed to
the cabinet Marble was given his place
as commissioner.
He was stricken during the anthra-
cite coal inquiry in Philadelphia and
taken home Thursday in a serious
condition. He leaves wife and 10
year old daughter.
