Working Out Plans

Washington, August 25.-Assured that all the currency necessary to finance the country's cotton and other staple crops will be furnished by national banks on warehouse certificates, a committee of IS representative planters, manufacturers, dealers and bankers and government of- ficials tonight began working out plans for actually bringing this money into cir culation. Steps toward providing safe and adeauate warehouse facilities through out the producing centers already are un- der way and leaders in the movement are confident that in few weeks the emergency created by the European wal will have been met.
 The committee was appointed after g conference at the treasury department to- day and to cooperate with it Secretary McAdoo designated W. P. G. Harding o1 the federal reserve board; c. J. Brand chief of the office of markets and rura organizations. In an address to the con ference Secretary McAdoo emphatically condemned valorization schemes, and sus- gestions that state banks issue currency He dwelt upon the dangers of an infiat- ed currency and declared the integrity and the financial structure of the United States depended upon the national banks
 'It is not necessary to have everybody issuing currency said the secretary.
 "The national banking system of this country, properly inspected and under governmental supervision, should be the controlling agency for the issue of this currency in order that we may know that every dollar in circulation has beer supervised by the government and that 1t will pass current wherever 1t appears ''If you turn money over to the na- tional banks, it will find its way to the state banks inevitably

mand soon may arise which will reduce the supply in substantial measure.

Bills for Relief
 Two bills avowedly designed to meet the situation were introduced today by Representative Heflln, entitled, respect iyely: ITO require the issuance of an emergency currency and to loan the same to the cotton producers of the United States upon properly authenti- cated to warehouse receipts: Ito require the Secretary of the Treasury to pur- chase and hold as the propery of the United States government 100000 bales of the cotton crop of 1914.
 In d preamble to this latter measure. MT. Heflin says that it Is the duty of the government in these distressing times to take such action as is necessary to prevent the distress and suffering that will come to the people of the cotton growing states, unless something IS done to prevent the sacrifice Of the crop
 "This distress can be prevented adds the preamble, by the government talk ing the crop off the market and keep banks are getting the issue against those securities and turning it over to the state banks It is perfectly simple to get 1t. All you have to do is to have proper se- curity."
 Mir. McAdoo again pointed out the necsssitv of banks desiring to obtain emergency currency joining the national currency associations.
 'I stated here yesterday he added, that it was my purpose to accept rom the banks of those currency association notes and obligations secured by cotton warehouse receipts, properly certified, and issued by responsible warehouse men or warehouse companies. l do not say that those warehouses have got to be built oi brick stone steel or anything else or that they must be bonded. All l ask is that those warehouses shall be Of such character as to protect the cotton it. self from deterioration or destruction, with adequate insurance against fire and backed by responsible agencies, so that when their warehouse receipts are issued we know they report something actually in storage there, something that can be had on presentation of receipts
 That means that the national banks of this country can borrow to the extent of 70 per cent of their unimpaired capital and surplus on notes secured by ware

ESSEX HA1TS AUSTRIAN SHIP

New York, August 25.-Almost at the
 mouth of New York harbor and within sight of observers on shore the British cruiser Essex today halted the Austrian freight steamer Ida en route to this port
 from Quebec. Officers and sailors from
 the Essex boarded the steamer, exam ined her papers, and after holding her an hour permitted her to proceed. The Ida, a slow steamer, sailed se- renely into Halifax 10 days ago with the Austrian ensign flying from her jack staff. She had aboard heavy cargo for Quebec and some stone for New
 York The captain knew nothing of the declaration of war and first learned that his ship was liable to capture as prize when Canadian authorities seized the vessel A prize court decided that as the Ida had sailed from Lisbon before war was declared she should be per- mitted to discharge her cargo and con- tinue her journey. The cargo for Que bee was discharged and the trip con- tinued to New York.
 Now that the Ida has reached New York, however. the case is different. Should she leave port she would be subject to capture.

Northern Campaign

Chicago. August 25.-In an effort to preserve trade in the southern states during stagnation of the common ex- port trade incident to the European war, Chicago wholesale merchants and bankers today started northern cam paign te bring about the placing o1 cotton warehouse certificates on a ne gotiable basis.
 A bill is before Congress to place cotton warehouse certificates on al equality with grain warehouse receipts
 on which money can be borrowed and credit extended because no one but holders of the receipts can withdraw tLc grain
 Eight leading wholesale houses and
 presidents of five of the largest banks
 in Chicago today telegraphed an appeal
 to the governors of all cotton produc- ing states, urging state action or CO operation with the national govern
 rient in bringing about this reform. One
 of the wholesalers said the total cot

 worth almost billion dollars yeal
 and that the export of this commodity about equaled the balance of foreign tre de.
 With export greatly reduced by the var the basis of credit in the south was said by the wholesaler to demand the standardizing of warehouse re- oeipts to enable ready extension ol credit.
