Already in a joint meeting with rep

the local men have outlined a tentative

While President Hartranft and mem-

say that the department Is arbitrary in

assert tha II is impossible for any

ANOTHER WRANGLE
ON CURRENCY BILL
Democrats Again Fail to Invite
Minority Party Men Into
Conference.

Democrats Of the House Banking and
Currency Committee went back into Sc
cret conferences on the Administration
currency bill this afternoon, and. reports
from the committee room are that the
wrangling which has marked prior con-
fabs is again in evidence.
So little progress has been made on
the bill that three sessions daily will be
held by the majority members. The
Republican and Progressive members of
the committee were again unlimited to
attend today's conference. notwithstand-
ing the full committee adopted a So
called publicity" resolution yesterday.
1t is explained, however, that publicity
applies only to full committee meetings,
which are few and far between, and not
to the Democratic conferences where
the bill Is in the making.
Anoher change agreed upon by Sec
retary McAdoo, Chairman Glass of the
House committee. and Chairman owen.
of the eSnate committee, Is expected
to cause trouble today. New members
of the committee are protesting that
they were ignored in the framing of
the Administration bill and the Ie-
newal of these protests is expected.
The Democratic session today was a
wordy affair, judging from echoes from
the committee room. The voices of the
racalcitrant Democrats, such as Con-
gressmen Eagle and Ragsdale, will not
be stified by the dulcet tones of Chair
man Glass, and the bill hasa hard road
ahead of it from present indications

CURRENCY BOARDS

Chamber of Commerce Dele
gates Tell Legislators What
They Think of Measure.

Congressman Carter Glass, chairman
of the House Committee on Currency,
today conferred with a subcommittee
from the banking and currency conmit-
tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States relative to changes in the
draft of the currency bill.
Senator Owens. chairman of the Sem
ate committee. will confer with the
same committee this afternoon. The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States representatives at the conference
were Wallace d. Simmons, of ST. Louis,
chairman of the committee: Lawrence
Laughlin, of Chicago; William A. Scott,
Of Madison. Wis. and John w. Grad
dock. of Lynchburg. Va.
While the details of the conference
with Congressman Glass were not d.
vulged, 1t was stated that IN the main
purposes and structure of the proposed
law the chamber representatives sup
ported the measure, and the changes
suggested We're of a comaratively minor
nature, but calculated to strengthen the
measure in its practical application.
Gets Suggestions.
1t is further stated that Mr.. Glass re-
ceived the suggestions of the committee
with interest. and in many instances
with expressed approval. and that fol-
lowing the conference with Senator
Owens today several changes may be
expected in the wording or the bill.
The board Of directors of the national
chamber are touring the West, and
the results of yesterdays deliberations
on the part of the committee, which
lasted well up into the night, were tele-
graphed to President Edwards in Ne
vada.
The progress of the committee was
so much greater than had been ex-
pected, owing to the familiarity of
each member with the purposes and
wording of the currency bill, that It
is believed the final report of the com-
mittee may be reached tonight. It will
be telegraphed to the directors at San
Francisco and passed on wnen the di-
rectors meet in the Golden Gate city
Monday.

Supporters of the Glass-Owens cur

MAY CLEAR
CR|SPELL MYSTERY
EpiStIes Between Drowned Girl
and Her Sweetheart Reveal
a Sordid Romance.

W1LK KESBARRE, Pa, July 10.-Sug-
gestions of suicide. the story of the
abuse of daughter by her father, and
frequent illusions to orgies that have
made the town gasp are contained in
letters which passed between Alice
Crispell. whose body was found In Har-
yey's lake. near here, Monday, and
Herbert Johns, her sweetheart. now
under arrest.
The letters, which reveal a sordid ro-
nance, and which may go far toward
clearing up the mystery of the young
woman's death, are in the hands Of
County Detective Daniel McKelvey.
There are about 100 of them, about
half being written by Miss Crispell, and
some of them dating back to the early
part of 1872.
The allegation made in one of the
girls letters that her father had struck
her, and blackened her eye was denied
by Crispell this morning. but the detec-
tives who questioned him say he ad-
mitted pointing a revolver at her about
two months ago and threatening to
shoot her He claims he did this to
frighten her, because she persisted in
disregarding his commands not to go
out so much at night
Letters Tell of Troubles.
I'm afraid to go near your house for
fear the old man will shoot me. So
many lnlIlSS are tIOupiliS me tudt L
feel like jumping in the lake." reads one
of Johns letters. Others say:
Il had a notion to jump in the lake
and end all my troubles. Why, darling,
/ have so many 1 don't know what to
do with them
I'm temperate-between drinks-and
so are you
Dearest, we won't have to wait
much longer for the Fourth of July, and
then We'll have the devil of a time"
The letters tell of many nights the
two were together, and Detective Nc
Kelvey says the local hotel registers
confirm dates and incidents mentioned
in the letters of Johns to the girl.
The result of these revelations, COM
ing just before the coroner's inquest,
which will be held tonight, is to give
strong support to the theory that Alice
Crispell drowned herself, possibly while
she was still under the influence of
what she had drunk during Fridays
celebration.
Saw Girl Staggering.
"Seph" Reese. VINO conducts a garage
In Plymouth, three miles from Wilkes
barre, is expected to be one of the wit
nesses at the inquest tonight. He told
the detectives he saw a girl resembling
Alice Crispell stagger along the road
near the lake at 11:25 O'Clock Friday
night and that a man with her was sup
porting her with his arms. He also says
he saw a second man lying on a log
near the road watching the couple, and
some use this as a basis for claiming
the girl was thrown in the water by
Jealous suitor.

After a stirring fight the House re-

mittee to employ counsel. Mr.. Mann
moved to reconsider the Levy amend
ment. which was adopted Saturday, pro-
hibiting the committee from engaging a
legal assistant. The Levy amendment,
upon reconsideration, was defeated 10i
to l02, greatly TO the relief of Chairman
Henry. of the Rules Committee. who
has insisted that the committee should
have legal aid in the lobby case. Mr..
Levy fought the reconsideration of his
amendment to the last. making a point
OF no quorum after a tie vote, 50 to So,
had been taken by tellers. A quorum
was obtained after an hours delay, and
Mr.. Levy, who had criticised the course
of Samuel Untermyer in the Money
Trust probe, and who opposed an attor-
ney for any investigating committee,
was bowled over.
No limit is set on the scope of the
investigation by the House committee
nor upon the time il shall use in max
ing the probe. Prospects are the House
will run for two months.
McDermott Issues Denial.
Congressman James T. McDermott, an
Illinois Democrat, who was mentioned
in the Mulhall charges, issued a state
ment today in which he emphatically de-
nies the truth of the lobbyists asser-
tons and quotes an investigation by the
House committee now authorized to pro-
ceed with a probe.
Mr.. McDermott's statement reads as

pay of the National Association of
Manufacturers. This is an unjust. an
outrageous falsehood. l never received

show this fact, and i am willing to let

pie. l am ready to go before any COM
nittee at any time and trust this inveS

he results in my case will show a deep

Postpone Currency Until

Senator Bristow and two or three
other Senators objected to taking the
bill up while the tariff debate was on.
Under the circumstances, 1t was felt by
the committee that 1t would be advis-
able to wait a while before taking up
the bill and having hearings.
The replies of bankers and experts
to the committees inquiries have been

soon be printed for the consideration of
