Washington. June 19-"There is alb
solutely no disagreement among any
of the men concerned in the framing
of the currency bill. The report thai
Secretary of State Bryan interfered in
the framing Of the currency reform
measure is without shred of truth
This statement was made by Presi
dent Wilson in answer to a query con
corning rumors of disagreement among
the men who have drafted the curren
cy bill which is to be introduced il
the house within the next few days.
The president seemed much wrought
up over the report and said he did not
see how it could have gained circuia
tion, since there was not the least
foundation for it. He added that cur
rency affairs have been entirely com
pleted, and that the only hitch in the
program is a delay of few days tc
permit the Republican members, OF the
tee time to study the bill and diges!
it's details.
The president said he hoped to read
his message to congress on Monday
but the date will not be decided def
nitely until after a conference with
leader, and Senator Kern, the senate
leader, as to the most suitable time for
the president to appear before the two
houses.
The president made visit to the
capitol to consult senators about ap-
pointments, but it was expected that
he would talk currency to some OF
those on the long list scheduled for
conference with him.
Secretary Bryan had what he said
was his first long talk on the currency
when he met Secretary McAdoo at the
executive offices. The two men stood
talking for nearly an hour 1t was de
clared Bryan had not lodged any OBJ
lection to the bill, but had offered his
assistance and help in general way.
Subsequently it was learned that
Mr.. Bryan had endeavored to use his
influence with Representative Henry,
of Texas, to persuade the latter not to
block the path of currency legislation
with the proposal for continuation
of the money trust" inquiry.
One or two changes of considerable

the house. These changes were dis
cussed at the White House at a confer
ence attended by Secretary McAdoo
Glass and Owen, who were suddenly
summoned by the president after he
had engaged in long conference witt
Secretary Of Stat Bryan.
The sequence of events and the de
meanor of those in the conference
gave rise to the suggestion that Bryan
may have urged a greater measure ol
federal control of the new currency
than contemplated in the regional re
serve banks system provided in the
Glass-Owen bill, which was printeG
and ready fer Introduction.
This was the favorite idea of Rep
resentative Glass and appeared to have
prevailed over another scheme con
templating the issuance of currenc}
through a large number of sub-treasur
les instead of regional reserve banks.
Representative Glass was not sc
sure that the bill would be introduced
next week. He hoped to regard it as
Subject to indefinite delay and i
was indicated that the delay had beer
caused by the conference.
1t is reported that Mr.. Glass ma!
resign not only the chairmanship, bu
also his membership on the house
banking and currency committee.
