FOR CHEAPER
EMERGENCY currency
Senator Overman, Declining to Take
Orders From Reserve Board, De-
mands l Per Cent Money.

The Senate took up Immediately after
meeting today the proposed amendment
to the emergency currency act increasing
the amount, of currency which may be
issued against commercial paper from
SO to IS per cent of the capital and sur
plus of the banking associations. An
amendment offered by Senator Overman
of North Carolina was pending. providing
that the government should charge the
banks only per cent per annum. instead
of 3 per cent. for the use of the emer-
gency currency for the first three
months
Senator Shafroth, speaking for the
banking and currency committee, said
that the federal reserve board had ex-
pressed itself opposed to the proposed
amendment, and in fact believed that if
any change was made, it should be to
increase the tax upon this emergency cur
rency.
Senator Overman replied:
IT won't take my orders from the fed
eral reserve board" and launched into
an argument in defense of his PROPOSE
ton, declaring that the banks in the
south could not afford to take out the
emergency currency at the rate of 3 per
cent for the first three months.

LONDON, September 10 Il 30 p.m.).-
Five hundred American refugees applied
today to the American committee for re-
lief. They come chiefly from Germany
and many of them looked like Immigrants
arriving at Ellis Island. Some OF the
women wore shawls over their heads and
many were unable to speak English. The
committee is needing the warning of Dr.
Rupert Hue, surgeon general. of the
United States public health service, and
is exercising great care in the examina-
ton of applicants.
Up to the present time there have been
no symptoms of any dangerous illness
among refugees from the continent, but
the English authorities are taking extra
precautions to prevent the Introduction
of disease into Great Britain.
After September IA English officials
will not admit American citizens not pro-
yided with passports. This applies 10
Americans coming to England from the
nited States as well as from the con-
tinent. This provision may go INTO erect
