TTTF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
BILL IF IF PASSES AS IT
STANDS. SAYS MADDOX
“Very few national banks, and no
State hanks at all, will submit to thv*
provisions of the Owen-Glass curren
cy bill If Congress makes It a law In
its present form.” Robert F. Maddox
asserts.
Mr. Maddox, vice president of the
American National Rank, represented
the Atlanta Clearing House at the
Chicago conference of the American
Bankers' Association, which agreed
fight the Administration program .is
jiow drafted, and to advocate amend
ments which change radically its fun
damental clauses
He w as a member of the comm!’tec
of twelve which drafted the resolu
tions embodying the bankers’ views
of Mat the new currency bill should
be and he is one of the seven com
posing the committee which will pre
sent the bankers’ case before Con
gress.
The hanks present n solid front,”
said Mr Maddox Monday morning
“The resolutions were adopted with
out a dissenting vot* 1 base mv be
lief that the bill in its present form
can not succeed on such reports as
that of the president of the Wiscon
sin; Rankers’ Association He polled
the 300 national banks in his State.
Only two replied that they would do
business under the Owen-Class bill.
New Plan Needs Friends.
’ The sense of the meeting, boiled
down, is that the new currency bill.
In order to succeed, must be drawn
so as to warrant the hearty co-opera
tion both of the national and the
State banks, for the reason that the
entire capital of the regional reserve
banks i» required to be subscribed by
the banks, and unless the provisions
of the hill are attractive, the banks
will not subscribe voluntarily.
“Keen resentment bns been aroused
by the prospect of being forced to
comply with the n<w Jaw under pen
alty of forfeiture of charter. The
banks think this not only is 111 ad
vised. but alao illegal.
“These are the most vital changes
recommended by the most represen
tative gathering of bankers I ever
have seen:
“1. That the board of control be
composed of the Secretary of the
Treasury by virtue of his office, three
members named by thasPresident and
three to be selected by the banks—
“Instead of four Cabinete members
and three other presidential ap
pointees. We still would allow the
President a majority and would re
move the restriction ns to party affil
iations of members.
Fewer Reserve Banks.
“2. That there be five regional re
serve banks—
“Instead of twelve. We believe this
will result in greater mobility of re
serves.
“3. That the currency be Issued b<
the regional banks —
“Instead of by the Government,
leaving the Government unincum
bered in the possible contingency of
war or other emergency.
“4. That the gold reserve be 40 per
cent—
“Instead of 33 1-3 per cent.
"5. That farm loans be followed to
run one year—
“Instead of alne months.
“6. That the dividends t>f»ld stock
holders by regional banks be 6 per
Cent —
“Instead of 5 per cent.
“7. That subscriptions to the re
gional brink required from members
be 10 per cent of their capital, 5 in
cash. 5 on call—
“Instead of 20 per cent.
Prejudice a Handicap.
“We realize that the bankers are
handicappedHjy a prejudice which has
been stirred up against them, a preju
dice which they believe unfounded,
since the very life of th» banker de
nation. We believe, however, that
Congress and the public will agree
that the co-operation of the hanks
is necessary to the success of any
currency plan. We think no man 1 n
the House or the Senate worthy *o
be there would wish to force a bill
through without giving a hearing to
those most concerned, the bankers,
who necessarily must be an aT * patri
otic in their purposes than at present
they are supposed to be.”
No date has been set for the com- i
mittee's trip to Washington. Jam**
R. Forgan, president of the First Na
tional Rank of Chicago, will issue
the call.
The bankers’ congress consisted of
the president of each hankers’ State
association, the monetary commis
sion of the national body and on*
representative from each of 175 clear
ing house associations.
Money Bill Will Pass
House As It Stands.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Informal
conferences of Democratic members
of the House Currency Committee
emphasize the fa t that the active
supportesr of the President’s cur
rency plan expect to put the measure
through the House without substan
tial change.
The amendments proposed by the
bankers, It Is pointed out were all
considered in detail when the bill was
originally prepared and In the long
debate over its provisiosn in the
House Committee on Ranking and
Currency.
The proposal to reduce the quantity
of reserves and give country banks
the privilege of keeping part of their
reserves in the large cities bad many
supporters and ultimately may be
worked into the bill in the Senate,
but the change Is not expected in the
House.
The bankers will have an opportu
nity to present their views openly to
Congress after the currency bill gete
into the Senate. Chairman Owen, of
the Senate Currency Committee, said
that while hearings had not yet been
arranged, he expected leading repre
sentatives of the various "factions”
amongst the bankers of tlie country
would be invited to give their views
of the 1)111 to the Senate committee.
The fact that leading bankers hold
differing views of the effect of the
new legislation, particularly with re-
gar I to the possible reduction of
loans and curtailment of credit, has
led members of the Senate commit
tee to hope that a further discussion
of the bill at open hearings would re
sult in the co-operation and support
of a large portion of the banking fra
ternity of the country.
In the opinion of Democratic lead
ers, the pant week saw greater prog-'
ro<s toward united support of Pres
ident Wilson's legislative policies
than any recent stage of Congress
activity. The entrance of Secretary
Bryan as the whole-heartod advocate
of the administration currency bill, in
his letter read in the House caucus;
the united front presented by the
Democratic leaders of the House
against amendments to the currency
measure and the complete success of
the Senate Democrats in supporting
the free sugar and other contested
points of the tariff bill, have ad
vanced the two big reforms a long
way toward completion, it is claimed.
Chairman Simmons, of the Senate
Finance Committee, predicts the Sen
ate could complete the tariff bill and
pass it by September 5. and the
measure could be flnisned by the con
ference committee and signed by
President Wilson by September 16.
Only unforeseen delay in debate will
prevent the tariff bill from becoming
a law by that time, in the opinion of
Senator Simmons.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25—A
searching Investigation of the
charges against Federal Judge Em

Committee, and Chairman Clayton,
of that committee, to-morrow will

gating committee.
Act on Report on Conduct.
Judge Speer will be allowed repre
sentation by counsel and he also will
be allowed to offer witnesses and tes
timony in opposition to the charges
that have oeen made against him.
The Judiciary Committee reached a
conclusion to-day after a full perusal
of the report of thp Department of
Justice relative to Judge Speer's offi
cial conduct. The charges are sail
to Include favoritism and autocratic*
methods of court, dissipation of es
tates and general abuses. The report
also is said to have commented un
favorably upon Judge Speer’s per
sonal conduct.
It was stated by members of the
committee that there was no signifi
cance In the fact that Judge Speer
will not be formally impeached—that
is. a declaration of impeachment »n
the floor of the House, which his
been customary in a number of other
impeachment cases.
Probe Follow Huff Charge.
The investigation of the official
conduct of Judge Speer is the result
primarily of the controversy between
the judge and Colonel William A.
Huff, of Macort, over bankruptcy
proceedings started more than ten
years ago.
Colonel Huff, In an open letter, se
verely arraigned the actions of Judge
Speer! for which a contempt case was
ordered by the judge. This brought j
a complaint to the Department of
Justice In Washington, and investi
gators from that Department were
sent to each city in which Judge
Speer holds court, and the records
examined and affidavits secured.
The complaint and report of In
vestigators resulted In the action of
the committee to-day.
2 Counties Fight for
Power Company Tax
JACKSON, Aug 25.—Judge R. T.
Daniel’s injunction order restraining
Butts County from collecting certain
taxes returned by the Central Geor
gia Power Company, the proceeding
being brought by Jasper County, is
of much interest here. The matter
will be argued before Judge Daniel
on September 6.
Jasper County contends that five-
eighths of the dam is located in that
county, while the power company re
turns Its property in Butts County
for $750,000 and its Jasper County
property for $100,000.
Butts County Loses
12,000 Acres of Land
JACKSON, Aug. 25.—The Butts
County Grand Jury, which adjourned
last week, wants to know’ what has
become of 12.000 acres of land.
In 1878, it is pointed out in the
general presentments, the County re
turned 124,000 acres of land for taxa
tion and that in 1912 but 112,000
acres was returned. There was an
increase of about 5,000 acres this
year over the returns of 1912.
SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Aug. 25.
Investigation was started here to-dav
of an alleged attempt to bribe im
migration officials who are here in
connection with the case of Harry K
Thaw.
James Nirhol, the crown prosecutor,
who up to this time has taken only
a passive part in the legal battle be
ing waged between Thaw and those
who W'ould return him to Matteawan,
was responsible for the investigation.
David Reynolds, one of the three
immigration inspectors on* the scene,
indirectly admitted- that there was
foundation for the report that officials
in the Department of Immigration
had been approached, but would give
no details. The alleged bribers ap
parently desired to influence the im
migration officials in Thaw’s favor.
It is reported from Ottawa to-day
a second writ of habeas corpus m tv
be applied for in Thaw’s behalf on the
ground that he does not corrie within
the class of aliens prohibited by Ca
nadian law. Acting Minister of Jus
tice Doherty will be in Albany Fri
day on his way to meet Viscount Hal
dane, and may confer with Governor
Sulzer or Acting Governor Glynn jh
the Thaw case.
Thaw told reporters he had in
structed his eight lawyers to hire spe
cial guards for him while he is out
side the jail and court house.
"It has come to my ears that the
New York authorities will try to kid
nap me if I am released on habeas
corpus proceedings, as I fully expect
to be,” said Thaw’. “I understand
they wifi try to seize me by force and
carry me into New York.”
When Thaw is released on habeas
corpus on Wednesday, the Canadian
Government will institute deportation
proceedings.
The question of the applicability of
the Canadian immigration act to
Thaw, that he does not come within
any of the prohiibted classes, will be
come a junction for the courts ani
may ce carried to the Judicial Com
mittee of the Privy Council in Lon
don.
Thaw undoubtedly will b^ deported
into the little Vermont village of Nor
ton Mills, which immediately will be
come the scene of a big legal fight.

Tuesday morning, F. Drew Caminetti,
companion in their flight to Reno

ton and Lola Norris, explained the
reasons why he refused to plea!
guilty.
“These reports that I intended to
plead guilty were occasioned by the
anxiety of my mother following the
conviction of Diggs,” said Caminetti
“She was of the i mpression that I
would stand no show’ whatever on
trial and that It would possibly be
better for me to plead guilty and
throw’ myself on the mercy of the
court.
“Both my counsel and myself have
induced her toTook differently on th*
matter since. In the first place, I
could not think of pleading guilty
the charges placed against me and
admit that I was a white slaver.”
Caminetti said he would not try to
shift tthe blame for the elopement oil
the shoulders of Lola Norris.
