CURRENCY EXPANSION
WILL BE RECOMMEXDED.
Bankers Hare Xcarh/ Finished Their
Work— Tar (m Emergency Issues.
Washington! Xov. 14— Currency expansion
legislation In some form will be recommended
for the action of Congress at Its coming session
as the result of the resolutions of the currency
committee of the American Banking Associa
tion and the New York Chamber of Commerce,
which have, been in session here for the laat
three days.
It 1b understood to-nis?ht. although no official
announcement was made, that the committees
to-day agreed substantially on the following
propositions:
The ♦stablishmont of a 5 r^r cent guarantee
fund for th.:- redemption of the notes of the
failed banks and for other purposes;
The amount of general credit n--us to be kept
on reserve to bo the same percentage as that of
deposits, rind
A limitation of all issues of currency by any
bank to that of its capital stock.
The imposition of a tax on the emergency
notc-s was the most troublesome of all to settle.
A vote was taken on the question yesterday.
To-day this action was reconsidered and
several other votes were taken. The final
vote could not be ascertained to-night,
but it Is eaid to have been in favor of a
graduated tax of very limited range and email
in amount. This vote, it is said, may not final
ly dispose of the question and it may come up
for consideration again to-morrow. During the
debate to-day fnw of th« members thought
that a graduated tax rangine from 2 to H per
cent would meet all reasonable, requirements.
The discussion disclosed the fact that the bank
ers are anxious to have it known that their
efforts to obtain the sanction of Congress to
Issue additional currency in times of financial
stress is not for the purpose of making money,
but with a view to accommodating the public,
and that as so 'n as the demand has ceased the
emergency currency is to be redeemed and can
celled.
The committee finished he burden of its
work to-day. All the principles which are to
underlie the proposed plan of currency reforms
were passed <.n to-day. r;nd the final work of
putting them in shape and outlining the details
for their practical application Into in the after
noon was referred to a special committee, con
sisting of A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase
National Bank of New York: James B. Forgan,
president of the First National Bank of Chi
cago, and John PerHn, president of the Ameri
can National Bank of Indianapolis. These aro
to b« assisted by Frank A Vanderllp, of the
National City Bank of New York, and Charles
A- Conant, of the Morton True*. Company of
New York, representing the New York Chamber
of Commerce. Chairman Fowler of the House
Committee on Currency and Controller Ridgely
were present at the sessions of the committees
to-day, and it is said the principles determined
on meet with their full approval. The action of
the committee was paid to b« unenimous.
The greater portion of to-day's session of the
committees waa consumed in the consideration
of the report of the sub-committee, consisting
of Ifeeam Pbrgaa. of Chicago; Wexler, of New
Orleans, and Vanderlip, of New York, to which
was referred th» question of the amount of tax
to be imposed on the issue of general credit
emergency currency to be emitted by banks in
times of financial stringency. Rome features of
their report, which, it ls understood, included a
graduated tax. were not entirely satisfactory to
the bankers, and it was recommitted to the spe
cial nub-committee for further consideration.
Incidental to thie. also, was the establishment
of an immediate guarantee fund to meet the obli
gations of any bank which failed before th*j
regular guarantee fund is available. There was
a division of sentiment as to the amount of the
graduated tax to be flx*vi on th* general credit
Issues, eomn of the members favoring a tax
ranging from 1 to 5 p*»r cent, according to the
amount of notes emitted, and others expressing
the opinion that the variation should be between
only 2 and 3 p*r cent.
All the rnem'r^rs express their satisfaction over
what has been accomplished, and express the
hope that It will meet with the approval of
Congress

VOTING FOR ERIE STRIKE
XO DISSENTING BALLOT.
Mahoning Division Firemen Firm
in Demand for Increase.
[Dy Telepraph to The Trlhune.]
Cleveland. Nov. 14.— Without a dissenting
vote up to midnight the Erie firemen employed
on the Mahoning division, which includes
Cleveland, are voting to instruct the board of
adjustment to declare a strike if the company's
officers refuse to grant a straight 20 per cent
wage advance next Tuesday.
Out of the 4.~0 firemen on the division 2">o hnd
cast their votes at midnight, without one dis
senting ballot. Tlie statenv nt waa made by one
of the officers of Forest City Lodge that no
dissenting vote was expected on the division,
and only a few on the entire Erie system.
As it takes Horn.- days for the men to cast
their ballots, the total vote on the division will
not be received until Thursday. Then it will
be turned over to the local represent. 'Hive of tho
national board of adjustment, which will m< et
with John J. Hannahan. prand master, in New
York Monday. On Tuesday, if there be any
doubt of the correctness of the count hy J. C.
Stuart, general manager of the Erie, the bal
lots will be placed on the table for him to
count.
At tho same time, according to the instruc
tions which are now being voted upon, the board
will demand once more a 20 per cent wage ad
vance, passing over the compromise 12 per cent
advance which P. J. Underwood, president of
the company, refused^ to grant last Monday.
Help was promised last night by Brotherhood
men on all roads East and West to which the
Erie delivers and from which It receives cars.
"This means that if a strike be finally declared.
by the firemen's adjustment board In New York
next Tuesday, it will be the biggest strike in the
hipto i American railroads," said an officer of
the I st City Lodge.
NO STRIKE, SAYS STONE.
Head of Locomotive Engineers
Thinks Trainmen Will Not Go Out.
I By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]
Cleveland, Nov. 14.- "I have do idea that there
will be a strike In any part of the country grow
ing out of the agitation among the various rail
road employes for increased wages," said War
ren B. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, to-night upon his return
from New York. "While the Erie firemen are
taking a vote on the proposition to strike, if
higher wages arc not paid, 1 <!•> not believe
that they will go out. It is too serious a matter.
"I feel that the men know that higher wages
are coming to them, and the company's officials
talk reasonably— so much fo that l believe that
tho men are sure that the advance will come.
There are so many things to be settled upon all
the roads and the agitation is so widespread that
the companies cannot settle all the questions at
once, and men must all have patience.
"While In New York I aided the Lackawanaa
engineers to settle their dispute, but all other
work done by me there was simply In an ad
visory capacity to our committees. The state
ment that the New York Central had agreed to
let engineers run motor cars on the same condi

The agreement simply referred to the firemen."

PLATTS TO SEPARATE.
BOTH SIGX AGREEMEXT.
Decide to Live Apart, but Den;/
That Divorce Grounds Exist.
After scarcely more than two year? of wedded,
life, Thomas C. Platt, the aged Senntor from
New York, and his wife have agreed to sepa
rate. In the formal statement, coming aft^r
months of reports of much unpleasantness and
hints of scandals Involving both, the cause for
separation is given simply as '•unhappy differ
ences." At the same time both emphatically
deny that there !s any truth in the rumors that
there has been anything in the conduct of either
upon which cause for divorce co lid lie.
Mrs. Platt is at Tioa;;i Lodge, in Highland
Mills, and Senator Platt. overcome by the fee
bleness of age and his unhappy marital ex
perience, ls staying at his apartments at the
Gotham. So feeble is he that he retired !ast
night soon after S o'clock, and no one was al
lowed to see him. Besides the formal announc
ment of the separation, made through Mrs.
Plan's counsel, no member of the Platt family
would make ;?ny comment on the agreement.
What provision has been made by the Per.
ator for his wife's future support could not be

that she will receive .. handsome allowance from
her husband.

Platt's counsel. Marsh. Winslow & Wever:
Owing to unhappy differences between them,

part of either whim could possibly be the foun
dation of a divorce action. No question of the
Infidelity of either to the other has ever been
raised. Statements which have charged violent
and disgraceful scenes between us or other im
proprieties upon the part of either of us are
absolutely false.
T. C. PLATT,
LJLLJAN T. PLATT.
New York. Nov. 12. 10<M>.
The public knowledge ot the differences ex
isting between Senator Platt and his wife began
rather more than two months ago when the
statement was made that Mrs. Platt had sued
for divorce. Then came stories that Mrs I'latt
was attempting to serve the papers on the Sen
ator ami laying selge to him In his Gotham
apa rtmenta.
These stories were denied time and time again,
but recurred so often ai to make certain the
fact that grave differences did exist.
Senator Ptott'S first wife, who was Miss Klien
Barstow, died In February. 1901, and it was
noi long after that Mrs. Janeway, then em
ployed in the Congressional Library, lx-san to
be kajpwn as the fiancee of the Senator. In
spite of much opposition they were married about
two years ago*, the majTtega taking place fouf
days before the date which had been set.
In December. MOB. Mrs. Plan's daughter. Miss
Margaret Snow, was married to rt i— jslsjh
United States IMstrlet Attorney Francis J. Car
mody. Their married life ended somewhat ab
ruptly just befoce the public dlscloaare of the
troubles of the I'latts.
The airing of the troubles of the Carmodys
led to the discovery of the break between Sen
ator and Mrs. Platt. When it was reported that
Mrs. Platt was seeking to serve papers on the
Senator and rumors of a counter suit "by the
Senator would not down It was said that
a certain transcontinental trip furnished tho
reason for both suits, but this was denied.
Mrs. Plan's maiden name was Carrie Thomp

travelling salesman named Snow, but In about
two years they were divorced. After this Mrs.
