Many Fail to Hear
Wilson Read Message

The curious public had little show At
the Capitol today. and the average per-
son who wanted TO see a President read
his message TO Congress had a cold re-
ception. In advance OF the Presidents
appearance. there was a crush for tick
cts OF admission to the House galleries.
Tickets of admission, however had been
limited to the actual seating capacity
Of the galleries. and certain members
with large families had to draw
straws" to see which relative might at
tend.
One ticket each was given the Sena-
tors and Congressman and persons hold
ing these. together with those In the
diplomatic and executive galleries, occu-
pied every foot Of room. The tourist
and ordinary taxpayer remained on the
outside, and could not obtain admission
even 10 the Capitol while the ceremonies
were In progress.
II was the second time in more than
hundred years that a President per-
sonally delivered his communication
to Congress. and the interest in today's
program was almost as great as that
when Mr.. Wilson first broke the prece-
dents and read his tariff message in
person.
The Washington times., 1913-06-23
Congress May Take
Recess for Time

One of the possibilities Of the Congress
situation. In view of the demand OF
President Wilson that currency legisla-
ticn be enacted. IL that both houses
VIII recess. after passing the tariff bill.
until the middle Of October. or Novem-
Der !, and then reconvene and work on
currency.
While this plan has not yet been put
up to the President In any formal way.
there is reason to believe he will be
urged to acquiesce In It later on when
the Senate gets thoroughly tired out
with the consideration of the tariff bill.
Senator's are saying, without much
regard 10 party. that they will be in no
condition to act on currency at once.
after a long fight on tariff. and that,
IL this subject must be taken up before
next December, It will be best to take
It up after a brief recess. to allow
everybody to get a vacation and then
return TO Washington In good form for
the fight on currency.
Want To Go Abroad.
Large numbers Of members Of House
and Senate have been planning on
going to Europe late this summer or in
the fall. Dozens of them had passages
booked for Europe in August. Such
bookings have been Cancelled. because It
is apparent the tariff bill will not be
passed until about September /.
The Administration currency bill,
which is coming to be known as the
Wilson bill. will be introduced in both
houses in a short time. Senator Owen,
chairman of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee, has announced
he will Introduce II probably this week.
He had a long conference yesterday in
New York with the currency commit
tee Of the American Bankers Associa-
ton. That committee urged various
amendments. Senator owen refused
to accede to any of them.
Objection of Bankers.
One Of the strongest objections made
by the bankers was that the proposed
Federal reserve board would be under
political control They Insisted the
banks should have more OF a hand in
selection OF this board.
Senator owen denied the reserve pro-
visions would cause contractions OF
loans and heavy liquidation.
IT will not do So" he said, unless
some gentlemen bring that about de-
Iiberately, and IL they do II will be
observed The microscope will be on
them. and the megaphone, too. The
quality OF opportunity and the rights
Of the average man will be preserved
In this country"

part. is in accordance with the Balti-
more platform Of 1872. Mr.. Bryan, low
ever, makes no reference to earlier plat
form declarations of the party concern
ing such things as the retirement Of
existing banknote circulation, which the
Glass bill fails to do.
Statement Of Bryan.
The statement of the Secretary OF
State reads. In part, as follows:
Il am glad to indorse most earnestly
and unreservediy the currency bill which
has been prepared by the chairrnen Of
the two Congressional committees, in
conjunction with the President AM Sec
retary McAdoo. II 10 a much better bill
than | supposed II possible to secure at
this time. Conflicting opinions, honestly
entertained and strongly adhered to,
have been reconciled with a success
hardly TO be expected. / have DOUBTED
until recently the wisdom of attempting
currency legislation at this session. but
my doubts were largely due to the fact
that feared the difficulties in the way
wopld prevent an agreement upon
plan. ~.
aThs plan which the President now
urges confers great advantages upon the
acting through the Government, all that
Is essential for the protection OF the
public. The notes are to be Treasury
notes, issued by the Government and
loaned to the regional reserve banks.
This Is In harmony with the Democratic
contention. There is no surrender OF
the Governments right to issue money.
The board of control Is appointed by the
President. Thus the people, acting
through the Government, are in entire
control. This il necessary for the pro-
lection Of the public interests, and ought
not TO be Objectionable to the banks.
The duties of this central board are so
important that they could not, with JUS
tiee to the public. be committed to men
private interests"
