J CLEARING UP ON CURRENCY All Senators Willing to Help, but Not Hurry. MEASURE LIKELY TO QO OVER Testimony of Country Bankers Sur prise Administration Senate Proposes to Take Its' Time. What effect, if any, will the currency row of the week have upon President Wilson's leadership? Has the president, the eommttteo or the cause of currenoy reform suffered through the bout of the White House with the senate committee on banking and currency, as a result of which the .committee, with some crowing and flapping of wings, announce that they shall expect no more dictation from tho White House? Tho Washington corrtspo'ndont of the Boston Transcript propounds these ques tions and answers them, In part, as fol lows: It will be recalled that the president set out to hasten the committee In Its work; to suggrst that It should dlscon Unua Its hearings before October 25, and that congress should pass a banking bill osrora the end of the extra session. It Is now an open secretin Washington that both parties In the senate are determined mat a -winking bill shall not pass at the present session, and ' that President Wilson expects the measure to go Into the regular session, if not into 1M4. Clash with President Healthful, Dispassionately analysed, the clash be tween the president and tho senators ap pear to have produced healthful results at both ends of the avenue The president has learned that the senate will not be hurried and his friends say he will hava forgotten how to be clever If he doea not find the lesson useful in his future deal ings with congress. With the knowledge that any plan of palling a senate caucus to hasten or discharge tfic committee has been abandoned, senators have meltod a little and Ore saying that If thn nrmMant will poster his soul In patience a while longer, tney win give him a bill for which mey can vote conscientiously. VattderllB's Teatlraoar Useful. a potent 'innuthCo upon the. senate committee this week has been tha testi mony or tne hankers, notably the re mark of Frank A. Vanderilp, president of the National City bank of New York. ana oi uie several country bankers who havft explained to the committee why tha bill would work adversely to their tntereata. Some of tho democrats were surprised that Mr. Vanderilp should see anything good in the bill, and when ho went on to point out that it contained a lot of good things they began to under stana that evem a New York hanit.p might be capable, of useful and disinter ested criticism. Through the testimony of Mr. Vanderilp tho committee came to see that if they could divest themselves of nm of their prejudices they might leam something of value from men who had spent their lives In the banking bus! ness. Mr. Vanderilp announced his pur pose to say everything good for the bill he could, and he was as frank in his commendation as In his criticism. Country Bankers Did Well. The country bankers performed good service in telling, the committee the ex act nature of their attitude toward the bill. The president apparently has been obessed with the' Idea thatch country j Think of It! 1 WEILEK... 8180 1 1IARDMAN, $150 , bankers would speak well of the bill If they wero not in fear of the "big bank ers" with whom they keep their reserve deposits. The country financiers showed no symptoms of worriment over their re lations with the city men, but went on in their own way to show that In dollars and centa the bill meant losses for them if It were not amended; and many spoke favorably of the measure except upon certain technical points which affected thotr own peculiar business. This waa hows to some of the demo crats, who wero divided in opinion a to whether tho country banker were howling for tho bill as affording them csoapo from the clutchts of their own reserve agents, or were condemning It utterly because it cinched the power of Walt street over (hem. It was something of a revelation when tha testimony de veloped that the bankers, country nnd city, were studying the measure like any other business document and weighing Its good and bad point as it th whole subject were not one solely of political sen timent and wer one of vital business Importance. The consensus of bankers testimony so far ha been that tho pro posed system In its present form offers them little, it anything, worth while, bt that with reasonable amendments, cov ering certain features of banking pro cedure. It can be made at least unob jectionable. The purposes of the meas ure were commended by all the banker witnesses, but practically all were doubt ful whether those purposes could be achieved unless the bill wero materially amended. The net result of the row with th president has been to bring about a little better understanding all around, Th Whits House understands that even the wonderful success of the president with tho tariff law haa not yet made him om nipotent In alt matter, particularly where tha prestlr of the senate Is Involved. The senate, on the other hand and this in cludes many or tho republican members is now willing to help work out a good bill If the White House will meet them half way In good faith. In fact, from the cheerful talk heard about the corridors today it would even be possible to grind out a binklng bill which the republicans of the committee would support If men like Chairman Owen are ready to drop their partisan foolishness and their ab ject surrender to administration Influ ence and get together with the rest upon a measure which wilt stand the test of sclentiflo banking analysis. Partisanship Less A olive. Among senators outside tho banking and currency committee the effect of the rumpus has been wholesome. I toko Smith's- recent interview and subsequent statement by him and other leader has made it possible to say atmost unquali fiedly that the banking bill will not be treated as a party measure In tho senate, and that If too extreme procedure Is at tempted a good many conservative dem ocrat will vote with the republicans rather than be placed In the poiltlon of being Ignoramuses upon the curronoy question. Gentlemen of this class havo been much embarrassed by the effort of men like Chairman Glass-so far un re buked by the administration to represent tha American Bankers' association aa the organised enemy of tho country and to discredit in every possible manner the adverse testimony of banker-witnesses relative to the Glass-Owen bill. The doc trine that no honest criticism of a bank ing measure can oomo from a banker Is not liked by senators whose states are full of honest and capablo bankers who want currency .reform as much aa the ad' l A mi Now Is Your $172.50 For arj. absolutely new, fully warranted piano, which other dealers quote as bargains at $248.

Telephone ministration does but prefer trat It shal be intelligent and not disastrous. Prralilrnt'a Tnctlrnl lllunrirr, Part of tha irritation displayed In tho senate over the attempted dictation on the currency bill Is due to the Inexplic able refusal of the president to permit congress to adjourn for a month or more, and thus enahlo the members to rest and attend "to affairs at home. The sen ate banking and ourrcnoy committee, at least, has known for some time that no legislation was possible at this session, but no one has been able to knock that fact Into the head of tho president, with the result that he has kept several hun dred sullen men Imprisoned In Washing ton for no useful purpose. Now, the bill cannot be reported out until late In No vember, and the senate will take Its own time In passing It J. G.

JEOPARDY IS IN SPEEDING Strrrt Car Com jinny unit Aiitomn-Itllr- Owner Will lie AnWod to IiViurn th Pare In Pass In; School". Culminating from tho activities of the Union Paclflo rallroad'M latest "safety first" movement, tho protection of school children while crossing railroad tracks and while on trains, K. V. draff, super intendent of public school!, has an nounced that he would extend the protec tion movement to street cars and auto mobiles. Tho Union Paclflo has agreed to co-operate with Mr. Urntf in erecting warning signs at crossings and In re quiring that employes In the yards and elsewhere take extra precautions, and in posting placards of warning In the public school. Mr. draff also believes that the street car company and tho automobile asso ciations and owners should also tako.nn Interest In tho work, because far more school children are sitbpject to street car and automobllo accidents than to railroad accidents. Mr, draff wilt ask that signs bo erected at street crossings requiring that street cars proceed nt a slower rats of speed. Street cars havo been In the habit of speeding past streets adjacent to schools Just as the school was letting out classes for the day, making the lives of the children unsafe. Automoblltsta have tho same Inclination and have been noticed speeding past schools. If motonnen and automobile drivers wero cautioned to curtail their speod as they go along streets on which sohool children are passing It Is the opinion of the superintendent that both the children and tha occupants of the carrier would be benefited. Several little children have been hurt when really neither party was to blame, but was caused by some other vehicle which passed at such a speed that In avoiding one approaching car the child would be struck by the other.
