trustees Refuse to Abandon Junior
Republics Methods.

New York, Dec. 24-The trustees
of the George Junior Republic at
Freeville, N. Y, refused to abandon
the republics methods, and in spe-
cific reply to the attack of the state
board of charities pointed out that
William R. George, accused of immor'
alities, has no connection with the
colony. AS to Mr.. Georges conduct,
the trustees say they will not venture
to consider it now, since committee,
Joseph H. Choate, Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Seabury and Miss Lii
lian Wald, are now investigating the
charges against the founder of the
republic. Whatever Mr.. Choate's
committee shall report as to Mr..
George shall be obeyed, say the trus-
tees, but they will not do anything
that may seem to prejudice the case.

ENSURES BANK DEPOSITS
Senator Williams Introduces bilI Fol
lowing Debate.

Washington. Dec. 24.-John Sharp
Williams (Dem., Miss.), introduced
in the senate a bill for the insurance
of bank deposits. He expects to press
the measure after the holidays.
A feature of the closing hours of
the debate in the senate on the cur
rency bill was an attack bp Senator
Bristow on Senator Owen, chairman
of the banking and currency commit
tee He charged that Mr.. owen had
voted for his own interests in the
conference by eliminating the deposit
insurance feature from the bill. Sen
ator Bristow read a newspaper clip
ping which purported to give the
plans of Senator Owen and a group
of eastern capitalists to start a ma
tional bank at st. Louis. Senator
Bristow insisted that Senator owen
would profit as large shareholder Of
the new bank by striking out the in
surance feature.
Senator Owen sharply resented the
criticism and said he was the best
Judge Of whether he was conforming
W btLdlt IulCb III fOIih6 10 hC uies
while being a stockholder in national
banks. He charged that Senator Bris-
tow had misstated the facts.
Senator Bristow made bitter at
tack on the bill, declaring that 1t had
been turned over to politicians, and
insisted that the organization COM
mittee provided by the house bill
and adopted by the conference was
political move.
Senator Nelson attacked the meth
ods pursued by the conferees. Other
speeches were made by Senator
Thomas, who urged guarantee of bank
deposits; by Senators Ashurst, New
lands and Townsend. Senator Lewis
was severe on the Republicans. He
charged them with inconsistency and
insisted that they were weak imita-
tors of Senator Root.
The senate adopted the conference
report on the currency bill by vote
Of 43 to 25. Three Republicans, Jones
Of washington, Norris of Nebraska
and Weeks of Massachusetts, voted foV
it. Also Poindexter of Washington
Progressive, voted aye.
