ONE MAN'S MYTHICAL REASON.
After Several Hours He Remembered
His Dinner Engagement.
Dinner had been icady and waiting
20 minutes. The wife of the tardy
guest was very much embarrassed.
Just to think that her husband was
so rude as to be late at a dinner en
gagement and keep all the guests
waiting! After a while the belated
one arrived, redfaeed and perspiring.

the notes into such shape that they
might be put upon the market.
Acting Secretary Coolldge of the
'treasury overlooked the work and the
hureau of engraving and printing
which put out the currency was In
charge of Superintendent Knlph.
Knch day Superintendent Kulph de
livered Into tho hands of the treasury
lofTlclnls between $2,000,000 and $1,000,
000 In the new style notes, licforo tho
end of summer there was over $100,
000,000 ready for delivery to the banks
on call.
Congress meets again in December
and then tho legislators will be greeted
by the grent outlay of cash. If there
should be a panic this fall, which is
far from likely, oillclals declare, this
great amount of emergency currency
would bo delivered to the strick
en districts within a few hours and it is
believed tho trouble would end with
tho appearance of the cash.
' Up to August 1 only ono emergency
currency association had been formed,
ihut soon organizations began to ma
teriallze all over tho country and the
(interest In the now act was heightened
(to a great extent. Tho banks of the
(District of Columbia had their at tides
or association approved by the secre
tary of tho treasury about the middle
"of July and to them belongs the honor
of being the tlrst members or an or
ganization authorized under the emer
gency currency lnw.
Tho banks In Now York and other
financial centors were not disposed to
fully commit themselves pending a de
termination of the question whether a hank Join
ing an association could withdraw rrom it after
complying with all the requirements of the law.
The, treasury oillclals regarded this question as
purely academic hut they took the matter tin
der consideration and a decision was reached on
this point in a very short time. Tho act Itself
is entirely silent on the subject
The proposition of putting out such a great
amount of currency was ono which lielil tho bu
lean of printing and engraving in its throes for
ninny anxious niont'hs, for It was pointed out
when tho measure llnaily passed congress after
a long tight that while it was decidedly improb
able that there would be a panic this fall, it
was certainly necessary Hint the currency bo
ready lor deliverance in case unsettled condi
tions should Introduce themselves Into Wall
street and other big llnaneial centers or the
country.
Hut if the word or tho Trainers of the Aldrich
Vreeland statute la to be believed no bucIi con
ditions can arise, simply because of tho existence
of tho emergency currency act.
Most readers of congressional news In the dally
papers remember well and followed closely tho
struggle which took place in both the house and
senatu coincident to tho passage of the bill. The
senate refused to accept tho Vieeland bill, mnnu
factuted in the lower branch, while tho house of
representative could see nothing but evil things
in the Aldrich measure that Is, tho majority.
Speaker Cannon of tho house paid several visits
to President Roosevelt at tho White House. Tho
executive Insisted upon work being done by con
gress, If it were only this law. Pinnlly tho
opposition forces met In caucus and then thero
was another caucus, most of the points In dispute
being settled. Tho bill passed tho house with
much acclaim rrom those who had aided In effect
tho' compromise.

a memorable speech because of its
length. Then Senator (lore took his
place and spoke for quite a whllo longer.
All this wns done to keep Senator Aldrich and
his friends from putting on pnssago tho compro
mise measure. It was regarded as a certainty
that the bill would pass and so the opposition's
Idea In the beginning was to keep on talking until
midnight March :!, 1009, in shifts of eight hours
each.
Whether It was by prearrangement or by acci
dent, row will over know, but tho tact remains
that when one of tho llllbuster aides neglected
Ills cue, an Aldrich supporter Jumped Into the
breach, secured the lloor and mndo tho motion to
put tho bill on passage. It passed and ended one
of the most spectacular llllbustors which legisla
tive circles of tho country havo over recorded.
Por that reason the United States now has ?500,
000,000 in emergency currency ready to put out
at nn Instant'B notlco to stem tho tide which a
panic would bring upon tho country.
Then came tho work of engraving bills or every
denomination In tho ofllces or tho bureau of en
graving and printing. Pirst tho rough paper was
received. It was cut up irao strips upon machines
which cut many thousauris cf notes at ono time.
