Sept. 9.—The Glass currency reform bill was for mally reported to the House to-day. Chairman Glass presenting a report signed by all the Democratic mem bers of the House Banking and Cur rency Committee. In w r h!ch It was claimed that the fundamental fea tures of the bill are: Creation of a point mechanism for the extension of credit to banks which possess sound as sets and which desire to liquidate them to meet legitimate indus trial, commercial and agricul tural demands. Ultimate retirement of the present bond-secured currency with the substitution therefor of a more flexible medium of ex change. Provision for the extension of American banking facilities for foreign countries. Coincident with the presentation of this report, a report was presented on behalf of the Republican members of the committee condemning three of the leading features of the bill. The minority members claimed that the powers conferred by the bill upon the Federal reserve board were too great and there was extreme danger that the board would be used for corrupt partisan purposes The majority report predicts tnat the twelve Federal reserve banks provided for by the bill will have joint resources of about $550,000,000 with which to begin business. Of this amount compulsory subscrip tions of stock from the capital stock of over 7,000 national banks will be $100,000,000. Transfer of Govern ment deposits in Federal depositories to the Federal reserve banks, it is estimated, will be $130,000,000. $300,000,000 Federal Reserve Fund. From this statement it is deduced that the Federal reserve banks will start business with cash resources of about $300,000,000. The remaining $250,000,000 would be made up of re serves which under the terms of the bill would be transferred to the vaults of the reserve banks. The majority members admit that “it can not be predicted confidently how many State banks would apply for or be granted admission to the new system.’’ The majority report discusses the inadequacy of the present disposition of the bank reserves to provide liquid resources for the business of the country and declares the only way of solving the problem Is by placing the reserves In duly qualified institutions which shall ask the primary in in terest. The transfer of reserves from the banks to the Federal reserve bank* oan be accomplished, according to the Democratic members of the commit tee, without embarrassing any finan cial Interests, but on the contrary will have the beneficial effect of permit ting the banks to develop longer lines of useful credit. The provision in the bill providing for the retirement of the Government 2 per cent bonds, which have the cir culation privilege, and exchanging for 3 per cent bonds, without the circu lation privilege, is declared to be “an excellent business policy for the Gov ernment.” Bonds Cost U. 8. $7,500,000. The circulation privilege, the report declares, is worth at least I per cent, and “the banks get no undue consid eration from the Government.” The cost to the Government of the conversion of these bonds will be $7,500,000, or about 1 per cent of the value of all the bonds concerned. The report asserts that the “compulsion” features of the bill, that is, the fea tures requiring national banks to sub scribe to the stock of the reserve banks, is not unfair to the banks.

He came presum ably to see a well-known young so ciety woman of the city and through her he met a number of the prominent people of the city, among them sev eral physicians.

Friday the young woman came to Atlanta to visit friends. “Doctor’ Harrison thereupon in formed some of his new-found friends, it is said, that he carelessly had allowed himself to run short on funds and asked them if they would not cash some small checks for him.
