M'ADOO REASSURES
COUNTRY BANKERS
Secretary Tells them They Need
Not Fear Administrators
Currency Bill.
from The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington, oct. l3.-A group OF count
try bankers from among those appearing
before the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee visited the Secretary Of the
Treasury to-day and received reassur-
ances about the possible effect of the adj
miristration's currency bill
Secretary McAdoo told the bankers that
they had no reason to fear the outcome of
the proposed legislation. which. he said,
was Intended for the whole people.
Several bankers expressed fear over the
possible depreciation of the 2 per cent
bonds. but Mr.. McAdoo urged them not
to be alarmed. saying the bonds would
be better than ever under the provisions
Of the bill, as they would be made re-
decmable
Another point on which some OF the
visitors were not clear was concerning
the right OF the banks 10 charge eX-
change on checks under the administra-
ton bill Mr. McAdoo declared IT would
be permissible
The advice given to the bankers was in
a general way for them TO return home
and not worry or be alarmed about err
roneous reports from sinister quarters.
Mr.. McAdoo assured them that the adj
minstration was anxious To serve the
whole people. and believed that the pro-
posed currency bill will serve that pur-
pose.

siderable number Of national banks will

The Secretary advised the bankers 10

I'm thus figuring out both sides they would
find the balance in favor of the bill.
The bankers urged the Senate committee
to make Some provision for retiring the

the present currency is based. They sug-
gested refunding by higher interest pay

purpose and invest savings deposits in

The bankers declared that the function
given the federal reserve banks under the
bill OF acting free OF charge as clearing
houses for the checks Of member banks
would deprive them Of an important part
Of their profits, now derived from the
collection of out-of-town checks. They
also urged that the bill be amended TO
allow them to carry a portion of their
reserves in the reserve city banks with
which they now do business.
Later in the day several OF the bankers
called on President Wilson.

"A Girl with One Stocking" a variant Of
Mary Had a Little Lamb which was
first read 10 the Senate on January q,

The burden of the rhyme WAS that

Obliged to suffer han dship. as IL was re-

Tilman, Mary will have TO let her Woin-

officer that had given her advice on
how to serve a summons in the after
noon. She said that she went with a
summons TO the policeman in front or
the Winter Garden and asked him the
method of procedure in serving 1t. The
policeman. she said, told her to walk
up behind the other woman, tap her on
the shoulder and throw the paper at
her feet. Mrs. Whitney said she fol-
lowed instructions, but had been seized
with fear that she hadn't done just
what the law required. Her description
Of the policeman wasn't close enough

declared shat she had given good
Canadian quarter to Cook for tWo-
cent bundle of wood; that Cook, pro-
nouncing the money something that his
dignity would not permit him to ac-
cept, had refused to give her either
wood or change. Discussion or the
merits Of the coin was sufficiently vo-
ciferous to engage the attention of five
hundred other residents Of the vicinity,
so the policemen decided TO bring the
question to the notice Of Lieutenant
Manning. Manning was not bit
pleased. Said he to Mccall and I'm
mich:
Don't YOU think this matter could
have been Strengthened out by the prin-
cipals? ?"
Both policemen blushed and did not
reply. Thereupon Manning settled the
difficulty by pcrsuading Cook to relin-
quish the quarter. Following that Inn

by Manning.

other four times on account of sickness.

Mr. Underwood declared that after the
delegates had got to Baltimore a
charge was made that he was a Wall

time he had heard it. adding:
And that charge was untrue. | never
was.

cratic House leader said that members OF
the House were craving to get home Tor
little while. but that the Democrats
would almost solidly support the Presi-
dent and remain i'm Washington until the

In response TO queries to-day the Presl-
dent said that he did not feel disposed to
make further comments on the question
of adjournment until he had positive in
formation that there was a serious move
ment to adjourn This was taken to
mean that the President was confident
that he would be supported by his parti-
sans in Congress and that the opposition
would not be able to muster enough
strength TO defeat his programme.
Senators told the President to-day that
unless the currency bill was passed AT
the present session the prospects were
that the legislation would run several

In reviewing the season Mr. Camp says:
The problem, not as yet fully solved,
seemed to be to find the happy medium
between the wide-open, reckless game
(Which. # II come of. is "a winner but
otherwise IL fraught with dire disaster at
tlmes) and the old-fashioned conservative
running and kicking game Of old-school
football Then comes the added question:
II this latter method is adopted, where
should the line be drown between eX-
hausting a team with running plays In
its own territory. and, on the other hand,
going to the other extreme OF using the
kicking game to such an extent as 10 fail
TO get the full advantage of the running
attack? Several teams made this latter
mistake.
III the game were to develop into one
where each side punted and waited for
the other side to make an error. II would
not prove satisfactory to those who care
for the American game of football This
point, Il seems, is pretty generally con-
coded, but there were enough flashes OF
the running game exhibited throughout
the season to show that. gwen another
year, there will be attacks which possess
sufficient variety and force to make their
way thirty or forty yards on the jour

more nearly solved by the Indians than
