BOND REFUND|NG
PROVISION IN BILL

tain Such Following Ses-
sion of Committee

Washington, July 15.-Democratic menu
bers of the House banking and currency
committee at lively session today de-
cided that the administration currency
bill should contain a bond refunding pro-
vision Later Chairman Glass announced
that the majority had agreed upon the
following points in line with amendments
urged by Secretary MeAdoo to maintain
the parity OF the two per cent bonds:
Section 20 of the bill is to be perfected
so as to provide for the permissible
amount of per cent of outstanding 2
per cent government bonds with efrculat-
ing privileges, each year in exchange for
government per cent bonds without cir
culating privileges.
Circulating privileges are to continue
to the banks as long as 2 per cent bonds
may be subscribed to for the purpose.
Section IS of the bill, which contained a
prohibition on this, was eliminated.
Nevertheless, newly organized banks are
not required to purchase a given amount
of government bonds in order ito begin
business.
AT the expiration of 30 years from the
passage of the act, every holder of Uni
ted States per cent bonds then out
standing is to receive payment at par
with accrued interest.
THE bill will be amended so as to
require that the earnings of the govern
ment from the operations of the federal
reserve banking system be set apart for
the redemption of United States 2 and 3
per cent bonds'
Mr.. Glass added that an agreement
has been reached upon most of the trou-
blesome features of the bill and he ex-
poets more rapid progress would be made

INJUNCTION AGAINST
BOARD GRANTED
Old Tennessee Board of Electors Pro-
hibited From Filling Vacancies
or Transacting Business

Nashville. July 15.-An injunction was
granted this morning by Judge A. b.
Neil, of the criminal court enjoifing the
old state board of elections from filling
vacancies or transacting other official
business. Despite the fact that the board
met at the state capitol the deputy with
the papers was unable to locate the two
members until late this afternoon. In the
meantime the board proceeded to fill all
vacancies occurring either by death or
resignation. There are two state board
of elections. one of which was created by
the recent Legislature The old board
contends that this board is without au-
thority owing to the alleged absence of a
quorum from the house due to the hegira
of more than one-third of the members
from the state.

That's all. If they watch their business

Mr.. Greer did not state just when he
would issue orders that the shaekles
must be knocked off In Jefferson. But
he repeated his former assertion-and
significance might hive been contained
in the repetition-that he would have no
trouble with Jefferson.
Mr.. Greer is very free to admit that
according to his own opinion, he has

city, and 1t is now thought that the
state will make no further attempt to
