Bill Goes to House at Once With
Clause Cutting Reserves, En
larging Circulation.
WASHINGTON, Aur 29—The art-
ministration currency bill goe* to-day
to the House bearing the indorsement
of the Democratic caucus, ■which add
ed two amendments to the measure.
One changes the requirement as to
reserves, turning loose more money
for circulation. The other extends
from nine to twelve months the time
that loans on farm lands may run.
The provision permitting national
oanks to loan money on farm lands
was adopted by 119 to 63.
The bill, after nearly three weeks
of discussion, was approved by the
raueus by a vote of 163 to 9. The
nine dissenters were Representatives
Henry, Eagle and Callaway, of Texas;
Hardwick, of Georgia. Lobeck, of Ne
braska; Buchanan and Fowler, of Il
linois; Neely, of Kansas, and Sisson,
of Mississippi.
After agreeing to the bill, the cau
cus adopted a resolution by almost
unanimous vote, declaring the bill to
be a party measure and that “mem
bers of this caucus are pledged for
the hill to its final passage without
amendment, provided, however, the
banking and currency rommitte** may
offer amendments in the House."
The measure will be reintroduced
in the House to-day by Chairman
Glass and referred immediately to the
Banking and Currency Committee,
which will meet next Tuesday.
It is expected the hill at once will
be reported back to the House, which
Mr. Glass predicted would pass it
within ten days, many Republicans
having indicated their purpose to sup
port it
Glass Sums Up Measure.
The measure as it stands after
adoption by the caucus is summer! up
by Chairman Glass, who piloted It
through the caucus, as follows;
The hill establishes twelve region
al reserve banks, with a capital of
not less than $5,000,000 each, to which
national hanks are required to con
tribute an amount equal to 10 per
rent of their own capital stock and
to become liable for an additon&l 10
per cent in case of call. This, it is
estimated, will give the regional re
serve hanks a combined paid up capi
tal of $105,000,000. These regional
reserve banks aiso are made custo
dians of a large part of the reserve
money of member banks, estimated at
approximately $10,000,000 in the ag
gregate They also receive the Gov
ernment deposits, estimated at from
$160,000,000 to $250,000,000
"Over the whole system of region
al reserve banks is to bo a Federal
reserve board consisting of seven
members. This board is given pow
ers of supervision, examination and
control.
"The measure provides an advisory
council of bankers without actual
power composed of one member from
each of the twelve regional reserve
districts
To Refund 2 Pec Cent Bonds.
“One Important provision is for the
gradual refunding, for a period of
twenty years, of the United States 2
per cent bonds into 3 per cent Gov
ernment bonds without tl e circula
tion privilege Tills will mean the
eventual retirement of national bank
notes The circulation privilege will
thus revert to the Government itself,
issuing through the regional reserve
banks on a gold reserve of 33 1-3 per
cent to be provided by the banks.
“The notable reserve feature of the
bill contemplates a reduction of the
reserve requirements of reserve and
central reserve cities from 25 to IK
per cen^ and of all country hanks
from 15 to 12 per cent. The Federal
reserve board is required to establish
a graduat 'd tax on the amounts by
which banks may he permitted to fall
below reserve requirements, such t«*ix
to be uniform in its application to all
banks
"National banks are compelled to
become members of th** system under
penalty of forfeiture of charters,
while State banks are permitted to
become members under regulations of
the Federal reserve board."

I Chairman of Police Committee
Supports Chief Beavers in
Anti-Noise Crusade.
Strong impetus was given the
movement to stop the terrible noise
In the city from cutting out auto
mobile mufflers by an Interview Fri
day by Councilman A. R. Colcord,
chairman of the Council Police Com
mittee It was given as on admoni
tion to the police department to stop
this nuisance, and Chairman Golcord
said he was confident he was sup
ported in his position by the entire
Council.
"We passed a law against this pub
lic disturbance and for a time It sub
sided," said Councilman Colcord.
"There was no reason for the police
to have ever let up.
"I don’t blame the business people
of the town for protesting against the
action of persons who dart back and
forth through the streets so unmind
ful of the comfort and Interests of
others that they seem to think the
throbbing of their auto engines is
the power that drives the universe.
“A stranger observing Peachtree
street at times might thing it was
the starting point on a speedway,
there is the frenzy of so much ex
ploding gas. Yet we have allowed
this condition to go on for months,
in what ls supposed to be our quiet,
orderly business district, without
complaint.
“I like to see the joyriders get
their full limit of pleasure, but they
should go out to some country road
to make their engines sputter, and
even then they should be careful not
to disturb any one's sleep. It is
foolish and useless to cut out irtuf-
I flora on the i«.ved city streets and,
what is more, it ls against the law.
"I am glad to see an agitation to
stop It. I think satisfactory results
will be secured without much ado."
Chief Reavers’ determination to
stop the nuisance, backed up by the
Council, means Immediate and con
certed action. Through indifference
the law was allowed to fall into dis
use. but the general opinion is that
its revival will mean a more rigid
enforcement than ever.
Dr. Broughton May
Aid in Revival Here
Pr. Len G. Rroughton, of I^ondon,
formerly pastor of the Baptist Taber
nacle In Atlanta, may assist Dr. Caleb
A. Riley, of the Central Baptist Church,
in a seriea of evangelistic meetings the
latter part of September. Dr. Brough
ton will be in the city at that time and
J >r Ridley has stated that he will try
to get the services of the famous
preacher for at least one week of the
revival.
In preparation for the services, Dr.
Ridlej will begin a series of sermons
next Sunday night. His first subject will
be “The Human Soul, and How It May
Re Lost." The large chorus, consider
ed one of the best in the South, will
lead the singing.

House Probers Find
New Kind of Graft
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 —The House
Lobby Investigating Committee to-day
stumbled into a new species of petty
graft at the Capitol. It was the “gov
ernment document" graft.
Allen A Irvine, a second-hand book
dealer, summoned to testify in behalf
of Representative McDermott, confessed
that he bought public documents, many
of them worth $1 apiece, from mem
bers of Congress who were supposed to
distribute them to persons in their dis
tricts, but did not. Irvine declined to
give the names of the Congressmen from
whom he bought the documents.

Home of Fire Chief
Burns in Carrollton
CARROLLTON. Aug. 29.—Fire at l
a. m. destroyed the old home of C. R.
Simonton, on Rome street, which was
occupied by James Dempsey, chief of

and Mrs. John Rocker.
The tire had gained such headway
when dis ■ vered by an old negro that
the family had a narrow escape,
jumping from the windows.
Cut Out the Muffler Cut=0ut
The Cut-Out of a motor car is a Noisy Nuisance used by a
certain class of motorists to make a 10-candlepower engine sound
like a Regular Racer.
It is popularly supposed to increase the power of the motor
15 to 25 per cent by letting it breathe audibly.
It does not do that, or anything like it.
Any gas engineer will tell you so.
If your engine is a regular engine, it will pull all you want
it to with the Soft Pedal applied, in the city or out of it.
If your engine isn’t a regular engine, unmuzzling the ex.
haust won’t help it.
What it WILL do, however, is to wake up honest people
who are asleep, and make the thin hold on life a burden to sick
people, and frighten pedestrians into spasms and horses into
fits and make your car generally an obnoxious and lawbreaking
nuisance.
There are other things, of course, but these are enough.
You recall the Emperor Napoleon in one of his battles send
ing for the captain of the artillery and demanding to know why
he had ceased firing.
“Sire,” replied the officer, “I have eleven reasons for ceas
ing fire.”
“State them,” commanded the Emperor.
“My first reason,” the officer replied, “is that I have no
more powder.”
“Well, you needn't mention the other reasons,” rejoined the
Emperor, or words to that effect.
There might be a dozen good reasons why mufflers should
perform their office of muffling gatling-gun exhausts within the
corporate limits of Atlanta.
Most likely there are all of a dozen reasons.
But if one of those reasons is that the cut-out is against
the Law—
Well, you needn’t mention the other reasons.
Cut out the Cut-out.

McKenzies Get Order Restraining
Randall Heirs From Mining in
Residence Subdivision.
A temporary injunction restraining
the heirs of P. H. Randall from min
ing- in the residence subdivision in
Northern Fulton County, which is now
being marketed by William M. Mc
Kenzie and George M. McKenzie, was
granted late Thursday by Judge
George L. Bell.
The injunction was obtained to es
tablish that the McKenzies have a
clear title to the land, doubt having
arisen because of an old deed which
kept for the Randall heirs a right to
one-half the mineral interests in the
land.
The petition of the McKenzies sets
forth that there are no valuable min
erals in the land, and that the on’y
value in the property lies in its em
ployment for residence purposes. The
record of former deeds was destroyed,
according to the petition, in the fire
of 1842, but it is maintained that the
title is clear nevertheless.
The land in question, 85 acres in
lot 216 of the Seventeenth District of '
Fulton County, was purchased about |
June 24. 1912, from Thomas L. Eng- I
lish. The property was divided into
small tracts and placed on the mar
ket.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Aug. 29.—The revelation
that the diplomatic negotiations whicn
Anally resulted in the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance first contemplated an Anglo-
German-Japanese Triple Alliance and
that Germany was largely instrumen
tal in starting them, but was shut out
by Japan, is made in the diary of the
late Count Tadasu Hayashi, ex-Jap
anese Ambassador to Great Britain
and twice Foreign Minister, part of
which was recently published.
The Jiji Shimpo of Tokio printed
portions of the diary, hut the Japan
ese Government prohibited further
publication, and the Censor sup
pressed telegrams sent by foreign
correspondents in Japan giving de
tails o? the statements.
The diary show* the British Gov
ernment, under the Premiership of the
late Marquis of Salisbury was «n
favor of the inclusion of Germany
in the alliance, but that Japan op
posed it.
Count Hayashi. in order to bring
about the Anglo-Japanese Alliance,
hinted that Japan was ready to ally
herself with Russia if Great Britain
wece unwilling to become her ally.
According to the diary, Baron Her
mann con Eckhardstein, at the time
Charge d’Affaires of the German Em-
baggy in London, made several visits
to Count Hayashi in the spring of
1901.
Count Hayashi approached Lord
Lansdowne. then Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an
Anglo-Japanese agreement on a pol-
fey in China. Lord Lansdowne said
he thought a third power should be
included.
Japan suggested that a third party
should be omitted from the alliance
because Anglo-Japanese interests
were identical. Great Britain, how
ever, for some time clung to the idea
of a triple alliance, according to Count
Hayashi. as she was anxious for an
alliance Germany in order to isolate
the Franco-Russian alliance.
The continuation of the diary,
which might have shown why Count
Hayashi opposed the inclusion of
Germany, has not been published.
