PERFECTING OF THE DETAILS U IK Decided to Eliminate Orjfniilsu Hon Proponed by House and to Have IleserTe Hody Ap- ' pointed Immediately. WASHINGTON, Oct. S9.-Important changes In the administration currency bill resulted from the .first day's execu tive work on the measure by the senato committee. The committee passed over for later action the proposition to nub stltutc a central government-controlled bunk for the regional bank plan In tho bill, on which the members were evenly divldod and proceeded to perfect the de tails of the measure. The complexion of the proposed federal reserve board was altered materially by amendments adopted today and probably will be changed further. It was de cided to Increase the membership of the Hnwt frnm KnVAll. njl'flxed ttl thO hOUSO Ijblll, to nine, and to eliminate tho secre tary of agrlcultudo and tho comptroller of the currency irom service on mo board. Another amendment Is pending to tako off .tho board the secretary of tho treasury and to remove, all ex officio nembers. The committee decided to ar- ngo tho terms so that one member's rvice would expire each year. This .provision Is designed to, meet tne ucmanu that tho service of members of tho board bo given continuity to enable them to profit by their experience on tho board. It was decldod to eliminate the organi sation proposed by the houso bill and to have tho federal reserve board appointed Immediately, with the power to organ ize and place In operation any system devised, whether a central bank plan or regional bank scheme as finally agreed upon. A large part of today's session was devoted to a discussion of the number of regional banks to be created by the bill lfJtha regional plan Is maintained, but' no cpaolualon vh reached Te ad--.ministration supporters In the committee endeavored to keep the number as near twelve, as possible, but other members favored four, five or six banks. It was argued that New York, Chicago and St Louis, the present central reserve ctUes, would need regional institutions, and New Orleans and San Francisco were mentioned as possible locations. A de cision on the question probably will be reached tomorrow. The committee will proceed to develop both the regional and the central bank jilan so far as possible along parallel lines until each Is perfected so far as the committee can agree. Then the voto will he taken on the two plans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The lettei convict In Sing Sing, as given, out day by William SuUcr, deposed b and present candidate for the s sembly on tho progressive tick again today the axis about vyj volvcd the heated controversy ovm allty nnd in-ectlce lncldant to New York's mayoralty campaign. From hi coll In Sing Sing, x-Stato Senator sviophen J. Stllwcll repudiated the correctness of his written application foi pardon, as made public by Sulier. Ho was backed up by James M. Clancy, warden of tho. prison. Standing by Stll well, but denying that he was attempting to shield Tammany, Clsncy wrote out his resignation and sent It to the state de partment of prisons. The tSUwcll letter, a given out, was an application for a pardon In return for an cxposuro of "boss rule" in Now York City. Stllwell's alleged overtures along this line were further delayed by John Hennessy, campaigner against Tammany. Ho told of av conference with Stllwcll In prison, of Stllwell's boast that he could "put Murphy In Jail" and could Intimi date certain legislators and swing them In line for SuUcr at the impeachment proceedings. Stllvrell Demanded rardon First. However, according to Hennessy, Stll wcll demanded his pardon first and no terms could bo agreed on. Tho fact that Hennessy even outlined what took place between them was credited today as hav ing brought about Warden Clancy's resig nation. John B. Riley, state superin tendent of prisons, was fiuotcd as fol lows :- "Mr. Clancy told mo Monday that tho statements made by BtllweJl to Hennessy were made with tho dlBtln.ct understand- lng and agreement that they should not n.fi until Btllwell was pardoned. U was aa:reed,that Mr. Hennessy shoWd ba at iiueny vw -1 tho purdon naa noon uranitu, m before. "Warden Clancy told tne that he tvould resign It Hennessy should break his agreement with Btllwell." Stllvrell Talks to Miller. Senator Btllwell refused to make a con fession last summer, so ex-Governor Sulier was Informed today, becauso the Tammany senators, somo of whom, he Suiter would bo removed from office and then Sfllwell vould be pardoned. Mr. Sulier received this Information to day n a letter from Rov. O. R. Mlljer of Albany. The letter says: "One day the latter part of last Juno I called on Senator Btllwell In the Tombs. GUI Well said he ought to squeal on tho Tommany senators, some of whoni( he said, had done worse things than h. He Insisted that he know much to tell on other Tammany men. However, before I )eft, Stllwell said to me: 'Oh, I shall not squeal-not yet. They are going to im peach Sulier and remove him from office and then the chief says I will bo par doned.' He said that he had talked with ,blg Tammany men lately and knew whereof he spoke. "A day or two later told Governor SuUer what Stllwell had said to me. The governor spoke up emphatically, 'btll well Is guilty and deserves little consider ation.' he said." Pamphlet Attacks Mrs. Salser. William Sulsor asked the authorities to day to Investigate tho authorship (4 a pampltlet attacking his wfe. This pamphlet, written in Hebrew, was circulated anonymously In the Sixth as sembly district, where the ex-governor Is running for assemblyman on the progres-! slve ticket.

Zollne began tho argument In behalf of thirty of tho men. Three othors are not Involved In the ap peal, one remaining In federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., and two others hay ing beetl paroled. "Wo will show that these men not only did not have n fair trial, but Uiat they were punished three times for tho same offense," said Attorney Zollno. Three Crimes in One. "First, they were convicted of conspir acy with Artie E, .MoManlgal and the McNamarsLS to violate the federal law against carrying explosives on passenger trains; secondly, thay Were convicted of actually carrying explosives, and thirdly, they were convicted In the consolidated offense. "All these convictions were based on the same evidence. The punishments were fixed accordingly. For instance, Frank M. Ryan was given seven years on th contention that he committed thres offense' by oho act." Mr, Zollns quoted authorities' to show that a conviction on oao offenso Is a bar to a conv!6llon on another when both offenses are based on the sumo evi dence. "We also contend that these men were railroaded to Jail," asserted Mr, Zollne, Rushed to Penitentiary, "After their conviction at Indianapolis, they wera not given tlmo to apply for a writ of error, but Immediately were ! rushed to the penitentiary at Leaven- ; worth. If the court please, these men . are union workers. They construct beau- . tlful houses, but they don't live In them, They are. laboring men, but they are en- titled to a fair chance.'' Only two of the convicted men were In court. They were Mr. Ryan, who still l president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and Richard H. Uofillhan of Chicago.

But his eagerly awaited reply to Premier Asnulth's offee of a compromlso October 23 consisted merely of a statement that tho unionist would carefully consider any proposals; tho prime minister cared to mako rela tive to a solution of tho home rnlo prob lem, If a solution wera iiosslble. Mr. Law expressed tho opinion that the only logical way the government could avoid the responsibility og plunging the coun try Into civil war was to sectiro a man date from tho people by general elec tion, which,. If It favored home rule, would be acquiesced in by the unionists, Ho said ho could not speak for Ulster, even settle the question there. The union ist leader compared tho situation In Ulster to conditions In America pre ceding tho civil war. Ho said he had urged Sir Edward Curson to attend tho meeting so that the pledge which ho (Law) had mado att he Blenheim palace rally In July, 1012, to support Ulster in Its reslstanco to homo rule might be made perfectly clear. The speaker maintained that the gotw ernment had brought forward its lanfl proposals to contuse tho Issue. If th government refused to go to the country, tho unionist loaders would hot decline the invitation to a conference and would oonslder any proposals made to therri and answer them with the Idea of flndfUK a solution.
