BRYAN TALKS TO BANKERS Nebraakan Addresses Chicago Clab on Need of an Emergency Currency. . CHTCAOO, May 23.-Wllllam Jennings Bryan made a plea before the Bankers' club of Chicago tonight for an emergency currency that would enable state as well as national banks to relieve money strin gency and sounded a warning that the people would demand the government bank unless absolute security for deposits can be assured them. He spoke on "The Banking Business" before several hundred membera on the occasion of the 104th meeting of the club. . On the subject of emergency currency Mr. Bryan said he believed this currency should be Issued by the federal govern ment and loaned to the banks. One reason advanced for the belief was that the state bank could be given the same assistance In times of need as the government In stitution. Cm the question of sffordlng security to the depositor, Mr. Bryan declared that the temptation to gamble was the source of most of the great bank failures and suggested the necessity for a new law that would remove this temptation from persons who handle othr people's money. "If the banks of this country refuse to give this security," he declared, "it Is they and they alone who will be respon sible If this government Is driven to es tablish a government bank. If the gov ernment savings bank comes, the $500 de posit limit will not last through more than one session of congress. If you bankers refuse to give the security the people de mand there can be no doubt of the future popularity of the government savings bank. I would rather have guaranteed banks than government banks, but when the ttme comes I will rtand with the 15,000.000 depositors for the bank of absolute se curity." s BLACK HILLS ROAD TO BE SOLD Missouri River Northwestern to Be Pat Vp at Receivers' Sale Jane 23.

MANY BIO MEASURES DISCUSSED F.mnlorerV Liability Bill I Passed and Bill for Government Liability la Pendlnat Xamher of Compromise Bills. WASHINGTON, May 23. A resume of the present session of congress elicits the inter estlrjgjact that there were more Important questions presented to and discussed by congress on which the public generally or sections or classes demanded action than ever before In Its history. A majority of these were of President Roosevelt's making. Comparatively the enactments were few. On he other hand, the aggregate of appro priations Whs great, and when the final figures are obtainable it Is not doubted that thev will exceed those of any previous ses sion In times of peace. Standing above all question with which congress dealth Is the effort to pass an emergency currency bill. Thrust upon the attention of legislators at the opening of the session by a financial depression that had not fully subsided. It was the first big question to be considered. Likewise It waa the hardest to meet and It did more to delay adjournment than any other. The senate and house failed to agree, with the result that e commission of senators and representatives In congress whose duty It Is to study the subject and report at the next session was the alternat'.ve adopted. Numerous bills affecting labor were con sidered by both the senate and the house In the form in which tho bills were pre sented organised labor was not heartily behind them and questions concerning the constitutionality of many of the measures, in the light of recent decisions by the su preme court of the United States, raised other barriers It la conceded that more legislation would have resulted had It not been for the pending national election. The elections placed the majority In a delicate sttua' tlon. a fact not overlooked by the demo crats In the house, who further compll cated the republicans' position by a fili buster to compel the passage of measures demanded by President Roosevelt and op posed by a majority of the republicans In both branches of congress. Out of this condition of affairs was steered a new employers' liability law to take the place of that declared, unconsti tutional by the supreme court and there Is pending a bill providing for the com pensation of government employes In hazardous occupations who are Injured in line of duty. Other matters of equal or greater Importance to organised lnnor failed. These Include an anti-Injunction law with a provision for the exemption of organized labor from the treble penalty clause of the Sherman anti-trust law and other amendments to relieve labor unions from operations of this law. Several Compromise Measures. Some of the striking things urged on congress by President Roosevelt, other than those already mentioned, and which were not enacted, resulted In compromise. For Instance. he wanted a national child labor law. He also asked for the enact ment of a law regulating child labor In the District of Columbia and the terrl torles, and the latter bill was passed. The bill as passed will not serve as a model act for the encouragement of state legis latures for the reason that It was amended to fit peculiar conditions In the district, The construction of four battleships wai urged In a special message to congress and a fight for this program was led by administration members of both the senate and house, which contest resulted In fail ure. An appropriation was made for the construction of two battleships and the policy of authorizing two each year was announced by republican leaders, wnicn was generally regarded as a concession to the president s big naval program. Authority to 'name a tariff commission and to appoint experts to gather data with a view to the revision ot the tariff at the next session waa strongly advocated. As a result resolutions were adopted In the senate authorising the committee on finance and in the house authorizing the committee on ways and means to conduct Individual Investigations. These commit tees are empowered to employ such ex perts as they need. Several features were recommended, which were designed to place greater powers In tho hands of the Interstate Commerce commlstion In tne matter of regulating railroad rates. Among these waa a prop osition that the commission ascertain the physical valuation of railroads; that the commission be given the power to suspend increases In railroad rates pending an In vestlgatlon of the justice of such advances allowing railroads to make pooling agree ment and a number of other questions in volvlng the regulation of interstate com merce. none of these bills were passed, But a substantial victory for the commis slon was won In the appropriation of $350,000 for the establishment of a statls tlcsl and accounting division of the com mission, which was opposed by chairman Tawney of the house committee on ap proprlatlons. An effort was made and la still In original which It every - . 5elf-Reducing For 5tdut Figures ty with Perfect hygienic safety. VtM - J- f'Ai&i 1 mm $3.50 r progress In the senate to suspend the op eration of the commodity clause of the Hepburn rallrea4 rate act until January l 1910. but there has been no general senti ment in either body demanding this legis lation In the Interest of railroads, wnicn ewn mines and manufacturing establish- m.nii A further araument against tna proposition has sppeared In the fsct that there had been little legislation in aia oi other commercial classes! or for the benefit of labor organisations. The commodities clause became errectn-e on May 1. and under It, railroads which tr.n.nrvrt In Interstate commerce produc tions ot mines or manufacturing plants which thy own, wholly or In pan. are subject to heavy penalties for each vio lation. The law applies psrt'culany to raltroada which own coal mines. There was a considerable faction In congress whirh believed no necessity existed for the relief of railroads from the operation ot this law, as they wre of tne opinion in. law when tested will be declared uncon stitutional. Bomo general revision of the Bherman ntl-iruKt Irw In the Interest of botll nltnl and labor waa demanded, and a bill was presented by the' National Civic Fed eration. It was advocated atrongiy uy Beth Low, Victor Morawlts and other well known orsons. but Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor and an officer of the National Civic Fed eration as well, did not take kindly to It. After a number of hearings were held hrnr the tudiclsrv committee or tne nouse and senate It was evident It stood no chance of passage. A movement was then tnrteri for the aDDolntment or a commis slon to consider such legislation during the recess of Jthls congress, but this met with no encouragement. Conserving Natural Resoarees. The Question of conserving the natural ..innrrri wna before the session promi nently for many weeks. An enori was ma Ho in both hodles to secure an appro nri.iinn tnr the creation of the Southern Appalachian and White mountains forest recerves, but it did not succeed. AS an lternatlve a commission to Investigate, was autherlzed. The creation of a "waterways fund" bv maklna- an appropriation oi tm.onn.flm was advocated, and rejected be cause, among other resolutions, of the nnnriltlon of the treasury. As a substitute a bill was prepared to 'onntimie" the inland waterways commis slon. which bill was amended to "author ! the commission. On this subject them was a treat deal Of debate, It being contended that President Roosevelt had no authority to appoint the commission In the first place. Great interest anacneu " thi losriniation. because ofthe convening oj President Roosevelt of the conference of governors during the present month. At this conference questions connectea wun the conservation of natural resources were hrnurht consDlcuously before the congress The bill to permit the president to appoint u inisni n'.i.rvivi commission was passed. Mora Far for Army. An xtinn nf arrest aeneral interest was the provision for a substantial Increase In the div of officers and enlisted men or army, navy, marine corps, revenue cutter service and life saving service or tne gov rntnsnt Several other bills were passed for the benefit of the military establlsnmeni. ana among these "as a provision to Increase the marine corps by wnat win amouni. m one regiment.

The effect or this act Is to put $150,000,000 ot property on the tax lists of Oklahoma, wnicn win in crease the revenues of that state by about t ton nhn annua.llv. ramnalin publicity bills were considered in both branches of congress, but none of the measures became a law. Bins reguiai- lng the shipment of liquor to prohibition state were considered without results, and bills to establish postal savings banks met the same fate. The announced nollcy of President Koose- velt to vote bills for the construction of dams across navigable streams, unless such bills provide for the compensation of the rnvernment for the franchise, ana con talned some limitation as to the length of time the franchise should run. resulted in a number of such measures being side tracked. The Ttalnev river (Minnesota) dam pro Ject, which was passed by congress and vetoed bv the oresident, because of the absence of such provisions, wss passed over the president's veto. The reason tor tnis action was that authority to consirucx mis Aam WAS aranted before the president's policy was announced and the company hiilldlnr the dam had expended a great i-.i of money UDon It. the vetoed bill r,.in merely to extend the time or com pletlon of the project. At the Same time there waa a larsre number of bills psssed ..ithnH.inir the construction of dams, as well as many bills providing for the build ing of bridges across navigable streams. Shin Bnbaldy la Dlspate. a rtot.rmined effort was made In the senate to take a step looking toward a ihin aubsldv. The ocean mat! subvention bin was naased as an amendment to the postofflce appropriation bill. It met with opposition In the house and la a aispuiea it.m in conference. It Is Intended to en courage the establishment of mail and passenger steamship lines from tne unitea States to ports of South America, Phlllp nin islajids.- JaDan. China and Austral asia. Another Important piece of legislation in the postofflce appropriation is a pro vi.inn authorlilne: the postmaster general to suppress periodicals which publish am ria inrltlna- anarchy, arson or muraer. Amnnr other matters which became laws nt the nresent session are the following rjrnhihitinv bettlnc on races In the Dts. trtct of Columbia; requiring the registra tion of all cases of tuberculosis In the Dis trict of Columbia, which Is Intended ss a model for state legislation; reclassifying many Important posts In the consular serv ice: rerjeallnc the shipping law In relation to trade with the Philippine Islands so as to nermlt the free operation . of foreign vessels; and Increasing from IS to 112 a month the pensions to widows and orphans of soldiers. . During the ssesslon 3.TM privste pension bills became laws. Many matters were before one body at tractlnor attention In tha other. In the sen' ate was the Brownsville affray and tha movement for the reinstatement of the negro soldiers who were discharged with out honor, the whole subject going over to next session. An investigation of charges of structural defects in battleships Derore tne committee on naval arrairs; tne treaties negotiated st The Hague confer ence and aeneral arbitration treaties with practically all nations, all of which were ratiried. The treaty providing for the control of wireless telegraphy went over to next sea fcluii.

HUMBOLDT DAMAGED BV FLOOD Water and Llarht Plants Pat Oat of Commission. HUMBOLDT. Neb.. May 23. (Special. ) This section welcomed the sunshine today as a decided relief from the moist con ditions prevailing durng the week, and residents of the Nemaha and Long Branch valleya are taking account of their losses by reason of the flood, and find these quite heavy. The engine room at the mill and electric' light plant was flooded, plunging the city Into darkness, from which no relief has yet been sttalned. The city pumping station was also under water and the pit In which ,the engine is located filled wth mud and trash. As a result no more water can be secured until the plant can be cleaned up, which often takes several days. The supply in the standplpe la getting low, but It Is hoped will last until pumping can be resumed. In the south part of the city a boat had to be called into service in order to rescue some of the people from their homes, and the furniture and furnishings In many of the homes wss badly damaged. Wheat crops in the bottom fields suffered greatly and fear la expressed that they are totally destroyed. Very little corn has been planted owing to the continued wet weather, hence the waahlng of the fields did little damage along this line. The heaviest loss on live stock sustained by reason of the flood was probably in the case of G. W. Butterfleld & Co., who had a large shipment In their yards near the depot. Out of these about twenty-five head were loat. Farmers to the northwest also report considerable loss of live stock from lightning, which, however, did no damage in this Immediate section.
