Senators Aroused to Defense OF
Currency Act.
CONSPIRACY is HINTED At
Wilson Asserts That Views of Finar-
ciers Who Attended Boston Con-
veation Are Not These
of Public.

Washington, Oct 11-New feelings
of confidence in the currency reform
bill were felt on Thursday following a
concerted defense of the measure by
Democratic senators who denounced
the criticisms Of the bill made By bank
ers at the Boston convention Of the
American Bankers association and
against what was alleged to be an or
ganized effort to hinder its considera-
ton and passage.
a senate debate in which the bank
ers' criticisms came in for sharp an
swer from friends of the bill on the
senate floor found its echo later in the
day when President Wilson made
plain to callers his own view of the re-
cent developments surrounding the
bill
The president let It be known that
he did not think the views of the Bos-
ton bankers convention, as they bore
on the currency bill now before the
senate, represented the general public
sentiment OF the country. In the
presidents view the attacks made on
the bill by the Boston conference rep
resented the activities Of men whom
he believed to be acting with sincerity,
but who as individuals refused to yield
their position of control of the coun-
try's financial system.
The expressions in the senate were
more emphatic.
Il think this Boston meetings obvi-
Gus purpose was to work up opposi-
ton to this BILL" said Senator Owen,
"and either to force the bankers view
or to delay or defeat this BILL
Senator Thomas talked of an ''or-
gained conspiracy to misrepresent
the president and impede legislation;
Senator Overman declared the Boston
conference did not reflect the views of
the general public; and Senator Owen
answering a question by his Demo
cratic colleagues, said he believed
there was an organized propaganda
against the bill that found it's refec-
ton in the Boston conference and in
the various state bankerss' conven-
tons which have adopted resolutions
crtticising the currency measure.
The senate debate and the later dis
cussions by the president with visitors
at the White House developed the fol-
lowing facts
No effort will be made to make the
currency bill q party measure in the
senate unless it becomes impossible to,
get it throS5h in any other way.
The president believes early action
on the bill is essential, while many
Democratic senators will oppose any
effort to force the situation unduly
Criticism Of the Boston bankers con-
ferenre has tended to solidify the Dem
ocratic ranks in support of the bill
President Wilson told callers that
time was most essential in the cur
rency situation; that with the accumu-
lations of business in the autumn and
early winter business men OF the coun-
try were anxious that the banking and
credit question should be definitely
settled at once.
While the president also took the
position that the senate's currency
hearings had been prolonged unduly,
senators in the debate on the floor in
Dictated a general satisfaction with the
facts and information that had been
disclosed through these hearings.
