SERIOUS OBJECTION
TO CURRENCY BILL
To Make Effort to Pass the
Measure Through Pre-
liminary Stage

Washington, May 12.-Although many
prominent democrats in the Senate are
opposed to currency legislation at the
special session of Congress, q serious et-
fort will be made by the banking and
currency committee to draft a measure
which will at least pass through the stage
preliminary to actual enactment. Chair
man owen and other democratic men,
bers on the committee, are expected to
take up consideration of the currency
reform bill probably next week No COM
was thought tonight that a tentative bill
would be laid before the subcommittee
at an early meeting.
The subcommittee was appointed to
consider 80 questions to bankers and
financial experts on why and how the
national financial system! should be
changed but has had no meeting so far.
1t was the opinion tonight that when
these questions submitted by Senator
Hitchcock, are aiken up they will be con-
sdered in relation to 4 definite bill. Bank
ers whose advice is sought will be re-
quested not only to answer the questions,
but TO give their opinions OF concrete
measure accompany them.
Attempts to draw up a currency bill in
the Senate have followed the bin of Rep
resentatiVe Glass, probable chairman of
the House banking and currency commit
, tee but until a measure has been submit
ted to the entire democratic membership
| and to the full Senate committee Its
final fem will not be settled.

SULTAN SAME AS
HUMbLEST SUBJECT
Is After Insurance Money
of Wealthy Armenian
Merchant

New York, May 1.-THE Sultan of Tur-
key, through his legal representative, was
notified today that in an American law
court his position is the same as that of
his hunblest subject. The question of the
,Sultan's right as a litigant arose in the
state supreme court, which has before it
the Turkish rulers suit to get possession
o $4,000 In ..urance money on the life of
H. S. Tavshanjian, wealthy Armenian
merchant who was assassnated here in
1907
The policy in question was in favor of
Mr. Tavshanjians mother, who until her
DEATH three years ago, resided in Ar
menia. Justice Davis heard arguments
TODAY Oh the demurrer to the Sultans ac-
ton interposed by the custodians of the
Tavshaniian estate in New York. These
defendants asked that the Sultan give
the customary security for the payment
OF costs.
Justice Davis said he had received let
Ter from the Turkish consul general here
requesting that in view of the PLAINTIFFS s
distinguished rank he be released from
this obligation. in denying the request
Justice Davis said it did not matter
whether plaintiff was a potentate or
one of his subjects, and that kings, sui
tans and emperors should not import their
domestic affairs INTO American courts.
