WASHINGTON. Dec. 22 Tbs Ad
ministration's currency bill probably
will be enar^ted into law before nigh*.
The last, obstacles In its path were
swept away at a long night session if
ihe House and Senate confers#*,
which ended at 3 o’clock this morn
ing
The only action nerp*»ary to maka
the measure a law is acceptance by
the two houses of the conference re
port and President Wilson's signa
ture
Important action was taken by the
conferecu in the closing hours of their
long session, In which they were aided
by the advice of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. The House con
ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid
ing for the guarantee of national banK
deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes ns
reserves of member banks
A compromise was reached on a
matter that has caused bitter fighting
when it was agreed that the t'omp-
troller of the Currency shall be a
member of the Federal Reserve Roard.
but that tiie Secretary of Agricult iTT^
shall not serve on the board.
The House had fought to have both
officials made ox-officio members of
the board, and succeeded in securing
an agreement to have them made
members of the organization commit
tee.
The question of retiring 2 per cent
bonds caused sharp discussion, and It
was finally decided to retire them two
vears after the inauguration of the
new system, $25,000,000 worth to lie
retired annually. They shall be taken
over from national banks by reserve
banks.
For one-h^lf of the bonds so tak.»n
reserve bunks will issue notes similar
to those of national banks.
The conferees were worn out bv
their Arduous work, but stuck to the
task until it was finished, having re
solved to complete the work so that
Congress might adjourn over the hol
idays. As fast as an agreement was
reached on the various provisions and
a page of the bill disponed of it was
rushed to the Government printery fc*r
preparation.
Arrangements for the entertain
ment of one of the most interesting
conventions of the year, the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, which meets December 2D to
January 3, will be made at a meeting
of the executive committee of the At
lanta organization Monday at 4 p. ni.
M L. Britton. State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and chairman
of the committee, has called the
meeting for the Chamber of Com
merce rooms.
The convention will be composed of
reffresentatives of eleven of the lead
ing scientific organizations in Ameri
ca and many of the subjects to be
discussed will be of wide general in
terest.
Dr. Charles Waddell Stiles, of the
l/nited States Public Health Service,
will deliver an address on “The
Health of the Mother of the South.”
Professor Charles K Monroe, of
George Washington University, will
speak on “The Explosive Resources
of fhc South During the Civil War
and Now.” Probably there will be
other addresses.
A huge map and chart, prepared by
the United States Geological Survey
showing the mineral resources of the
South will be shown at the State
Capitol.
The cultivation of flowers, fruits
and vegetables on small plots in cities
and the beautification of school yards
and home yards will be emphasized
by exhibits.
Altogether more than 2,000 dele
gates are expected. Many will bring
their wives, and the soda! phase of
the convention promjses to be very
Interesting. Mrs. J. K. Ottley is the j
chairman of the women's reception ;
committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Presi
dent Wilson paid hi» compliments to
"calamity howlers” to-day when he
indicated to callers at the White
House that the nation understands it
is the duty of “hard-times prophets”
to kee^) busy always.
The President expressed himself as
deeply pleased over the evident incli
nation of the business Interests of the
natu n to conform to the provisions of
the Sherman anti-trust act, but de
clined to make a specific statement on
the business conditions of the coun
try at the present time.
He waa asked if he knew of any
other corporations that were making
ready to follow the voluntary disso
lution move of tiie American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
He had none specifically in mind,
he said, and reiterated his belief that
interests generally would adjust
themselves to legal requirements
That the Government naturally is
willing to co-operate with all busi
ness men who desire to obey the law
is self-evident, according to Presi
dent Wilson’s views. He has gained
an impression from members of his
Cabinet and many members of Con
gress that business men in general
are more than willing to reorganize
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and said the agreement as to
the dissolution of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, em
phasizes this impression.
