 CHANGES NEEDED.
HEARING WILL BE LONG ONE
Senator Hitchcock Says Inquiry Win Last Two Months Longer-Small Bankers Discuss the Measure at Chicago.

Washington, Sept. 25-iEdward D. Hubert of Chicago, practical banker, and Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale uni. yersity, expert on the theory of cur rency. today endorsed the principles of the administration currency bill before the senate committee. Both, however, proposed number of amendments designed to alter the proposed methods for carrying out the purposes of the measure.
 The desire of the committee to ex- anime MT Hubert further brought out the fact that hearings on the bill will be continued indefinitely. MT. Hubert said he was willing to return to Washington later, and asked how long the hearing would continue.
 The chairman cant say" an- swered Senator Owen.
 "Oh, about two months" suggested Senator Hitchcock who has indi- cated that he will oppose the bill.
 Senator Owen, throughout the day, endeavored to hurry along the mem bers of the committee, but met with little success. Senator Bristow pro- tested that the committee should have all the time necessary to ex. anime witnesses
 Later a regular schedule was fixed for two sessions daily in the future
 Senator Reed denied before the committee statement accredited to him that the. currency bill would not pass at the present session of con gress. He said too, that he resented any reference to himself as a demo cratic insurgent" because of his DO sition regarding the measure.
 Mir Hubert, who discussed the bill from the viewpoint of state banks and trust companies, told the committee that these instructions must be brought into the new sys- tenn if it is to be success. He sug- gested number of amendments de- signed to make the new plan a.trac- tive to these state institutions.
 Both Mr Hubert and Prof Fisher criticised the provision fixing the 33 1-3 per cent gold reserve to be held agains+ the proposed new cur IeIcy. lHey ISCOluLHGHueu tudl thO reserve requirement. be increased to d0 or 50 per cent.
 Senator O'Gorman defended the constitutionality of the provision re- quring national banks to pay 10 per cent of their capital into the regional reserve banks Mir Winston and others had objected that it would de- prive tire banks of property without due process of law.
 This bill" said MT Winston in conclusion, would result in con traction of the currency for IS months after it's passage and as soon as it reaches full working order, will result in a dangerous imitation"
 Curtis Musher, secretary of the Citizens League of Minnesota, sub mitted brief showing the difficulty of forming regional reserve bank in the northwest.

Hubert, vice president ot he Merchants Loan and Trust com pany of Chicago, said the provision allowing country banks to loan 70 per cent of their capital and surplus on farm lands for one year was not sufficiently liberal.

 MAKES FLAT DENIAL
SAYS HIS INTERESTS IN GIRLS OF UNDERWORLD WAS TO
 GIVE ASSISTANCE.

Los Angeles Cal, Sept. 25.--'George H. Bixby, the Long Beach millionaire on trial for alleged offenses against girls, took the witness stand in his awn behalf tedaye and ring 2 gen eral denial of all accusations against him, asserted that his acquaintance with inmates of the Jonquil, a noto- rious resort. had been gained entirely through philanthropy.
 BiXby said he first met Emma ., Goodman, proprietress of the Janquil, now serving a year in the county jail,
 in the autumn of 1907 She was in- troduced to him as Mrs. Josie Rosen- berg.
 'I had received from Ransburg. Cal, a request to aid an inmate of Mrs. Rosenberg's establishment" he explained Tt was girl named Marion. who was ill. I became inter- ested in her and gave her $100 so that she might go home to her mother. Later gave Mrs. Rosenberg $500 more to give to the girl. Marion is now married and living a respectable life
 Mrs. Rosenberg suggested Alat l might be talked about if l were known at her place by my true name, so used the first which came into my mind, King.
 An attorney interrupted to ask if Bixby had not previously given the girl another $100. The witness said he had, as he had been sorry for her
 Bixby said that Mrs. Rosenberg moved to a new neighborhood and for four years he knew nothing concern ing her
 "One day" he continued, she tele- phoned to me that there was in her place a girl who was the mother of child and needed help. 1 called at the house and found the girl who testified against me here under the name of Helen Nicolas
 Mrs Rosenberg said the girl want ed to buy a rooming house so l gave her $500. Later l gave her Sl,S00 more Then went on a vacation and when | returned Mrs. Rosenberg told me the girl had invested t1e money foolishly in poor place. l then gave her S2,000 more with which to buy another rooming house. l gave her s4,300 in all.
 "I met Helen Barker at the Jon quil last January when l called there to learn how the Nicolas girl way progressing. She told me her mother lived in Grand Rapids, Mich. and that she wanted to see her. l gave her $50 Mrs Rosenberg told me the Barker girl wanted to marry young man who was working in shooting gallery. l went back with $500 more the sane day Two weeks later I saw the girl again. She said she had foster parents living at Claremont, Cal, and wanted to provide for them. I gave hec $500 more. q never saw the girl again until she testified against me in the court room.
 Bixby swore that of the other girls who testified against him, he knew only one-Grace Redwine He denied in detail all accusations of immortality.
 When he was excused tae prosecu- tion began an attempt to impeach his testimony Arguments over the admissibility of evidence of one of the accusing girls were not concluded when court adjourned. -Ostavius Morgan. the aged archi- tect, again proved an unwilling wit ness today replying to nearly all the questions that to answer that would degrade him. He admitted however. having given a total of S2,5OO to girls in the Jonquil.
