 Animals.

 Washington.-The fight for S250,- 000 in currency to deposit in cotton and tobacco belt banks to relieve farm CTS, waged to a draw in the last ses- sion of Congress, collapsed in the house Tuesday Contemporaneously the house supported administration VOWS as to a trio of emergency bills which the cotton filibuster blocked last October One of these was pass ed by the house Tuesday. It purposes to amend the federal reserve law to authorize the Federal Reserve Board In it's discretion to increase without limit the aggregate amount of accept ances bank may make, based on the exportation or importation of goods.
 The purpose of this bill now to go to the senate, is to enable many large banks and trust companies which have built up an immense business in financing expectations and importa- tions to become members of the fed eral reserve system. They are virtu- ally excluded from this membership now because of the restriction in the
 
 present law confining the volume of banking operations to the amount of one-half of the banks paid-up capital and surplus.
 The senate amended bill to increase use of commercial paper up to 100 per cent of unimpaired capital and sur plus as a basis of emergency currency under the Aldrich- -Vreeland law, was the vehicle of the Henry cotton cur rcncy plan, and a motion of Repre- sentative Henry to recommit the bill to the Banking and Currency Commit tee with instructions to report the bill back with the cotton proposition, was the first unfinished business. The Henry motion was beaten, He to 51. Representative Glass then tried to withdraw the commercial paper bill because it no longer was desired o1 necessary, but Mir Henry objected and and the bill went to a vote and was rejected. 26S to 2S.

 At that moment the laborer paused long enough by the deep chasm where his engine rocked, to glance into the motor as it sped by him. And he thought:
 "Oh, to be like her! To know leis- ure and wealth and rest. To be free from drudgery and toll, to come and go as l pleased! To throw off the chains of debt and worry, and have the days and nights stretch ahead of me like field of flowers!"
 But in another instant the motor was gone. The torchlights fared brighter than ever And each had forgotten the other-Judge.
