AMENDMENT ON MONEY
|. BILL Brings DEBATE
Proposal Of Representative Neeley
Temporarily Sileneed BY Ad-
jouFnmenf.
ORIGINAL FORM SAFE

An amendment to the banking and CIR
rency bill prohibiting any person from
serving as a director in more than one
financial institution, proposed by Repre-.
sentative Medley of Kansas. who was a
member of the Money Trust committee.
stirred up a lively debate in the caucus
of the House Democrats yesterday. The
discussion waxed fast and furious for
more than two hours, and was brought to
an end temporarily by a motion for ad
Justment made by Representative Glass
OF Virginia, who is handling the currency
bill in caucus. Mr.. Medley and his fel-
journment for the day. but they We're
defeated. The Glass motion prevailed
by a vote Of 81 to 43. Here is the amend.
ment that caused the trouble:
mo officer or director of a national
bank, State bank, banking association,
or trust company admitted to member
ship III a regional reserve bank under the
provisions Of this act shall be an officer
or director Of any bank or financial cor
poration or institution admitted here
under, and no person shall be an Office.
CT director Of any bank admitted here
under who is a private banker or is a
member Of a firm or partnership Of bank
ers engaged in the business Of receiving
deposits
The caucus on the banking bill will
run over into next week. Less than
three Of the forty-three pages Of the
bill were passed yesterday. The ques-
tons really in controversy have not yet
been reached. There Is certain to be a
rather prolonged debate over the amend
ment defining the powers of the Federal
reserve board and amendments that are
pending that propose forgive precedence
in the matter of the issuance Of notes
to agricultural paper.

stopped his engine at his highest alti-

Unofficial Request for
Deportation Of Thaw

The State Department last night con.
veyed an unofficial intimation to the
British Ambassador, Sir Arthur Spring
Rice that the United States would be
pleased IL Canada should deport Harry
K. Thaw. The intimation was carried
in a telegram to the Ambassador at his
summer home at Dublin. N. H.
The telegram was marked personal, In
order to signify that it was not an Of
fetal communication to the representa-
tive Of the British government 1t was
as follows:
I'VE are informed that Harry K Thaw,
who lately escaped from an insane
asylum in New York, in which he was
confined after acquittal Of murder on
the ground Of insanity. Is in custody in
the province of Quebec with a view to
his deportation under the Canadian I'M
migration laws.

alarmed, but announced, after making
inquiries. that Thaw was well enough
guarded to prevent the success OF any
rescue party.
'Tm goins, to take 1haw back with
me-" he said. He probably will be
deported, as the Canadians do not want
him on their hands, but II not in that
way, then we shall eXtradite him."
DR.. Britton d. Evans, the alienist,
was one Of Thaw's first visitors Of the
day. He said that the prisoners cheer

surprise to him.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lauder Car
negie, brother in-law and sister Of the
prisoner, soon followed DR.. Evans al
the jail. They held long conference,
and occasionally Thaw could be heard
loudly laughing.

rived today. Up to that time Thaw
had persisted in directing the lawyers
actions. but McCune at once took hold
of the situation, and Thaw accepted 1t,
in accordance with the wishes Of his
sister.
Thnw Stands By Aids.
Mr.. Carnegie announced tonight that
Thaw would stand by the men who
helped him to escape.
'But I want one thing understood" he
said. None of the family was aware
that he was planning to escape. He did
it on his own responsibility. without let

is not necessary for either Harry or his
family to take care Of Evelyn Thaw
financially. She is making plenty Of
money and is able to take care Of her
self, as Harry Is able to take care Of
himself"
Thaw's notable array Of counsel was
increased late tonight by the arrival of
Clarence ]. Shearn, one of the best
known lawyers in the United States.
The report that Thaw's lawyers will
make an effort to make him out sane
was DO ne out tonight, when Thaw was
subjected to Q minute examination by
DR.. Evans and three local physicians.
One Of the local physicians Is reported
to have declared that Thaw undoubtedly
is insane. .....
All Of Thaw's counsel are conserva-
tives, and are among the most influen-
tial men in the Province Of Quebec. j.
W. Greenshields. X. c., was also added
late today to the array Of counsel. He
