Washington, D. C Dec. 19. Vnless
unforseen obstacles are encountered
the new currency bill will pass the

tails was begun as soon as the senate
assembled. A combination amend
ment by Senators Crawford, Owen and
Nelson broadened the section to al
low national banks to loan on five
year farm mortgages. The amend
ment would permit central reserve
city and county banks to loan one
third of their time deposits, or 23
percent of their capital and surplus
on such security. Senator Nelson
succeeded in getting into the bill a;that tlR1 BtockhoIIers shall receive a
provision that such banks may con-jsix per ceut divide,,,, a surplus fund
tinue to receive time deposits and pay!ot forty pel. cent ot the capitai slalI
interest on them, a procedure t pres-j egtabIisiled and that the remainder
ent .a technical vwation .or tn law.
Tlie Democrats voted down a proposal
by Senator Crawford to prohibit inter
locking directorates in banks in the
new system.
Senator Cummins presented an
amendment to authorize the regional
oanKs to loan " " "
proper security, u me uuuna iu
borrowers' community were "unable,
or unwilling." Several Republicans
joined the Democrats against it and
it was beaten 47 to 3.
Senator Newlands declared he had
several changes which he wished to
propose to the measure, but said he

an agitation for a further caucus of j
Democrats. ,
An entirely new fiscal policy was
proposed in an amendment by Sena
tor Weeks, but was voted down, 41 to
40. It proposed that the surplus in
the treasury at the end of each fiscal
year should be applied to reducing
the national debt.
An amendment by Senator Burton
to deprive the federal reserve board
of powerrto suspend all reserve re
quirements was defeated 41 to 37.
Senator Bristow proposed that the
board he prohibited from suspending
the requirements as to the gold re
serve against circulating notes. Sen
ator Root declared that without the
amendment the directors could nul
lify the provision written into the
bill last night to check depletion of
the gold reserve.
The senator pressed for a final vote
on his bill as a substitute for the
house bill, but Senator Burton de
clared he had several amendments to
present. He then proposed to strike
out the provision allowing the fed-,
eral reserve board to authorize the
use of the new currency or the pres
ent national bank note currency as
bank reserves. j
Senator Root supported the Burton j
amendment, declaring that the new j
notes and the present bank notes j
were simply promises to pay and i
serves.
"This is the most preposterous
think I have heard of," said he, "since
Mr. Micawber paid his personal obli
gations by giving his note of hand. It
provides simply for the use of debts
as security for debts. "
The Burton amendment was defeat
ed, 40 to 37
Mr. Burton then attacked the pro- .
vision allowing members of banks to
deposit as half their reserve In the
federal reserve bank, paper available
for re discount. An amendment to
strike out that provision was defeated
without a roll call.
Senator Burton endeavored to pre
vent the Issue of the new currency
in denominations of $1 to $2, but an
amendment to that effect was rejected
44 to 35.
A final attempt to further strength
en the gold reserve requirements of
the bill to guard against undue ex
pansion of the currency was made
by Senator Nelson, who proposed to
increase the reserve to fifty percent
with a one percent tax on each two
mid one-half percent deficiency.

What it Provides.

complicated machinery of finance,

The senate has retained, after a

directorate controlled by the member
banks, and the capital furnished by
enforced subscription of national
banks. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebras

As amended by the senate, the bill
provided for the creation of eight or

Under the house bill the earnings
of the regional banks, after paying five
per cent dividends on the stock and
establishing a twenty per cent surplus,
would have been divided among the
member banks and the government.
The senate has amended the bill so

fund" to reimburse depositors in fall

The senate has broadened material-!Ir,

PUEBLO, NEAR SANTA FE, ARE
RECIPIENTS OF MUCH ATTENTION,
SAYS PROF. GEORGE L. COLE, WHO
HAS THEM ON LECTURE TOUR.
GORGEOUS COSTUMES
DAZZLE ALL EYES
"The people in the east are tre-
liieudously interested in tne tnuians
j of the southwest and your little Pueblo
; of xesuque has Indians w ho have vis-
ited ninety-eight chantauquas, sat on
the lecture platform, sung songs to
real Indian music and have received
the plaudits- of many thousands ot
people."
So said Professor George LaMont
Cole, for the past seventeen years a
student of the ancient cliff dwellers
and dwellings in Utah, Colorado, Ari
zona and New Mexico and who is
among the first fo make a study of
the Old Puye and Pajarito and other
ruins of the northwest.
Accompanied by Mrs. Cole, the pro
fessor visited Santa Ke yesterday aft
ernoon and evening, calling on old
friends and seeing places of Interest.
Professor Cole has given much time
to the study of the Pueblo people and
! for several years he has been taking
a number of Tesuque's husky braves
and interesting looking maidens on a
swing of the Chautauqua circuit. The
Indians returned homo in September.
One of them, as will be seen in the il
lustration, is a former governor ot
Tesuque.
"We visited US chantauquas," said
Prof. Geo. L. Cole, of Los Angeles, and
Ex-Gov. H Mario Vigil, of Tesuque.
the professor, "during the past season
and I had the pleasure of lecturing to
many largo audiences. The lectures
were about the life, manners, customs,
rites and ceremonies of the pueblo
people. .Mrs. Cole lectures on Indian
songs and their music. Then the In
dians, in native costume, give a num-
'ber of their songs and dances, which
j always are well received everywhere."
j Soosts for Santa F"e.
FrofessCT Cole stated that in his
lectures lie presents a number of in
teresting views of Santa Fe and its
environs. This, of course, will in time
open the eyes of people to the advan
tages of this country and perhaps en
lighten some who think that the In
dians are dangerous people, ever
prowling around to get a fresh scalp
for their belt.
Mr. Cole has a son, ray cooper vom
who has studied in the southwest and
who now is in the ethnological bureau
of the Field Museum of Chicago. He
headed the Cummings expedition to
the Philippines and gave four years to
the study of the wild tribes of the
islands.
Professor Cole knows Dr. Dorsey of
the Field Museum and spoke many
words of praise of this noted scientist
who has done so much for the Field
Museum.

led and marched through the streets.
the crowd proceeded to some hnuspR

The trouble was brought about by

The demonstrators also paid a visit
to the printing office of the Star-Her-
laid, which yesterday published an ar-

but as all the doors and windows had
been barricaded, the missiles had no
