INTERFERENCE
TO Be RESENTED
Senate Currency Committee
Decides It VIII Not Be
Forced Into Action.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-Attacks
on members of the senate banking and
currency committee and efforts to force
action by the committee on the admin
lstrauOn currency bill were condemned
severely in an informal executive seS-
sion of the committee Senators OGor-
man and Hitchcock, singled out as in
dividual objects of two attacks within
the last three days, demanded that the
committee take up the matter and for
an hour the criticisms were discussed.
After the meeting senator Hitchcock
said the members of the committee
unanimously and individually expressed
the opinion that any organized effort
to coerce the committee or to circulate
unfounded criticisms of members of the
committee were to be condemned"
He also declared that the members
had condemned the criticism of him
self, made public in a statement by rep
resentative Carter Glass, who piloted
the administration bill through the
hOuse.
Expression of Good Feeling.
Senator O'Gorman said that the meet
ing resulted IN a general expression OF
good feeling among the members Of
the committee and an understanding
that no further efforts to force the
committee to act prematurely would
be tolerated A letter of president Viii
son repudiating a quoted statement at
tributed to him, characterizing as
rebels" the Democrats opposing the
currency measure, was read in the com
mentS made by members of the COM
mittee was accepted as a disclaimer on
the part of the white house of any
extraordinary effort to force action by
the committee.
Chairman Gwen, who has led the sup
port of the presidents bill in the COM
mittee, Ws.s not present during the dis
cussion- Senator OGorman apparently
was greatly aroused over a criticism of
his course in the committee, published
today He interrupted the testimony of
Frank A. Vanderlip, of the National
City bank, of New York, to remark:
Il do not exaggerate when say that
no member of this committee is in
favor of enacting this bill as it stands
today"
Before the committee adjourned SEN
ator owen declared that he wished it
that senator OGOrman's
statement merely meant that there
were amendments which should be in
corpOrated in the bill and not that the
bill should be condemned as a whole.
BristOW Adds New Element.
Senator Bristow added another
element to the situation by in
new currency bill
in the senate. The senator said
that he introduced the bill by re-
quest and thought it contained valu-
a ble points. The measure would allow
the present national banks with a cap
itaI of 100000 and a 20 per cent sur
plus to take out, in addition to their
present currency secured by two per
cent government bonds unsecured cur
rency'' up to the amount of their cap
ital.

HUMANE SOCIETY
MAKES STATEMENT

Prevent Misunderstanding
of Situation.

Officers of Older Organization Seek TO
Prevent misunderstanding
of Situation.
Some confusion seems to have arisen
as a result of the organizing of a branch
OF the State Child and Animal Protective
association m FL Paso, where already
there is a local humane society. The
newly organized association has been
seeking to enlist the cooperation of the
existing humane society. The Herald is
asked to print the following statement
signed by P. II. Curran, Mrs. Curran.
Mrs. NJ. Z. Rhein. vice president, and
Mrs. B. NJ. Williams. secretary Of the
FL Paso Humane society, on behalf of
that organization:
1T seems to be the impression among
those who have Joined or taken an in
terest in the Humane society meetings
recently held in the Paso del Norte hotel
that this new organization is working
IN conjunction with or is an outgrOwth
IF the old society here. This is a mis-.
take.
The FL Paso Humane society has an
office in the Caples building. room 3GS.
and telephone, No. 999, and maintains
a paid officer. whose headquarters are
at Greer's stables, phone 3d. This HUI
name society has been and is now doing
good work for the children and animals
OF FL Paso, and FL Paso can hardly
maintain two societies.
''Be it further said that this society
is 4 member of the National Humane
society.
This article is simply to inform those
who have Joined the new organization
or are contributing to it thinking thev
are helping the Humane society that
has been here for a number of years,
that such an idea is a mistake. There
will appear in The Herald soon an ar
ticle giving the history of the local
society and what it has been doing.1
