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. Policeman Shot as He Peers on Youth Calling on a Girl R. FT.

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. 9 Young Wilsons in One Cabinet Family WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. —The largest family in the cabinet circle that belonging to Secretary of Labor and Mrs. William B.
