THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD VOLUME XXXXILI_ BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. SATURDAY. JUNE U, 1<)U 14 PAGES NUMBER J9 10 CURRENCY PLAN Henry Charges Wall Street Is Back of Proposed Legislation „ — FURTHER PROBE OF MONEY TRUST URGED, Will Introduce Bill to Amend Bank ing Laws—Chairman Glass Work ing to Put Through the Proposed Reforms Washington, Juno 13.—An under cur tent of opposition among a consider able number of House democrats to the plan for currency legislation at this session of Congress took definite shape today, when Representative Henry of Texas, chairman of the pow erful rules committee, openly charged that Wall street was back of the pro paganda for currency legislation. While favoring revision of the bank ing and currency laws at the next ses sion of Congress, Mr. Henry insisted that further investigation of the so called “money trust” should be imme diately pressed. The Pujo committee, he declared, barely scratched the sur face of the facts underlying the con centration of control of money ami credit, because the controller of the currency refused access to liis records, making it impossible for the investi gators “to completely expose the ex isting relations between the Wall street bankers and their allies with the ' trusts and monopolies, stock gamblers and financial fconspirators.” “Wall street bankers," lie added, “now are demanding legislation on the currency question In order that they may make a market for their com mercial paper (much of it based on rot ten securities), and have currency is sued on their assets.” To Amend Ranking Laws Mr. Henry introduced a bill to amend the banking laws so ns to make bank* ing associations subject to the visitorial powers, “exercised or directed” by Con - j gress, or by either house of Congress, i “While this was going on it became known that the admiinstration meas ure representing the combined views of President Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Senator Owen of Ok lahoma, chairman of the state bank ing and currency < uamMtee, and It- ; i« - aeutative’ Glass, chairman o:' the House banking and currency committee, would be introduced in the House next Tues day, and that the full committee of the House probably would meet to take up the bill a day or two later. Pres ident Wilson is expected to send a mes sage of the subject probably Tuesday. Air Glass had a long conference today with Secretary McAdoo, going over the , details fo the bill. "It is an imperative duty to pass cur-1 reney legislation . t this session of Con gress,” said Air. Glass tonight, “ti seems singular to mo that any well informed members of Congress sholud imagine that the need is nonurgent. If any such mem ber will como to the banking and curren cy committee room, and note the volume of correspondent?.-* on the subject with which the Secretary has been deluged, and the tenor of the letters written, he v.ill become easily convinced not only tint the. bankers of the country favor legisla tion, hut that business men of every de scription favor it, the latter even more urgent than the founer.” Follow Party Leadership Members of the House committee, while disposed to follow the party leadership, are not agreed upon the necessity of cur rency legislation now. They are in a wait ing mood, and seeking light. Mr. eHnry, ?n bis statement accompany ing his bill, declared “the Wall street banks, thinking the people confused and unset by tariqff revision, have begun their old scheme of endeavoring to hurry through a plan giving them the right to Issue or have issued by the government, asset currency. The bankers and their allies want to make u market for th- ir paper and securities and control the coun try's currency and cause the government to abdicate the function o£ issuing and controlling the currency. “There is positively at present no need of an emergency currency bill, the Al drich-V reeland bill is on the statutes, and has a year to live. It certainly suffices for that length of time.” Charging that the? only aim of the Wall street bankers was to pass the Aldrich bill, “veneered over so as to fool the poo- j Pie,” Mr. Henry said, the voters would do (Continued on Pane Ten.) Competition Between the Coastal Steamship Lines •_ Largely Eliminated Washington, June 13.—Oomptetition between coastal steamship lines had been largely eliminated and contracts exist between practically all the estab lished steamship lines operating to and from American ports. These are the findings of the House •hip trust investigating committee an nounced today. In the domestic trade, according to Mr. Alexander, agreements between _ Steamship lines to regulae competition do not play so nearly a prominent part as In the foreign trade. He said numerous methods may be used to accomplish the same purpose and the committee is aware of at least 40 which have been or are being used to control competition betwreen wa terrarriers In the domestic trade. “In the* trade with foreign ports,*’ he said, “the committee found at lehst 70 agreements or understandings whose purpose was to fix And maintain rates, regulate the traffic and ip many in stances pool the business.

V . Va.. .Tune .!*.—After hearing former Govern »r Glasscock s ex planation of the conditions under which the Paint Greek aiul Cabin Creek mining districts were placed under the domina tion of military rule, the Senate mine strike investigating committee tonight hurried its hearings along, with but a single branch of its Inquiry here to be concluded. The testimony of Governor Glasscock and the civil officials of Kan awha county, In power during the strike, concluded t'o** record under the head of the "arrest and conviction of citizens contrary to the laws and constitution." Tonight Senate* Kenyon's Inquiry as to general ' * >ns an'd causes loading up to tiie strike was all that remained to be disposed of hi Charleston. The com mittee decided to leave the matter of alleged violations of immigration Jaws to he taken up in Washington. The big question as to agreements and combina tions, contrary to the laws of the United States, for the purpose of controlling the production of West Virginia coal, will not he taken up by the committee at i this time, It was decided, owing to the1 fact that officials of the United Minej Workers of America have been Indicted on this charge under the Sherman anti trust law in the federal courts. lief end Martial Law In no uncertain terms* Governor Glass cock and the civil authorities of Kayt awha county defended the declaration of martial law in the strike zone. Governor Glasscock told the committee that the sheriff and county prosecutor of Kanawha county informed him they were unable through ’the civil courts to control the strike district, and had urged the declaration of martial law. "Theye was a reign of terror Jn the strike district,” said the former gov ernor* "twenty-five or thirty murderr had been committed and no prosecutions had been made in the courts.

Washington, June 12.— Amending the section of the Cnderwood tariff blit which would place on the free list all print paper valued at not more tlian iivj, cents a pound, the majority members of lire Senate llnance committee today voted to incorporate in the hill the provisions of the Canadian reciprocity act passed in 1911. This action would extend the free list to include all print paper valued at not more than t cents a pound, on tile con dition, "that no export duty, export li cense fee or other export charge of any kind whatsoever, or any prohibition or restriction in any way of the exporta tion shall have'been imposed upon such paper, board, or wood pulp, or wood pulp as used in the manufacture of such paper or hoard." Word “Canada” Omitted Although the fvord "Canada" is omitted from the amendment adopted by the com mittee, it would operate against Canada because of that nation's restrictions on exports of wood and chemical’ pulp, sen ator Sinnnons, chairman of the llnance committee, said that other proposed re strictive provision* or countervailing du ties aimed against Canada had not yet been acted upon by the majority, and that the matter would be taken up again tomorrow. He udded that there might lie reconsideration of the action thus far taken. I iMler the reciprocity amendment, pulp wood or paper, could come in free from Canada when it is the product of free lands In Canada, lands unrestricted by export duty or license fee. Senator Simmons stated lie believed the committee could conclude its work by next Wednesday, and that the demo cratic,, caucus could then lie culled to meet Immediately, it was his opinion that the caucus would not be delayed becaijse of the absence of democratic sen ators In West Virginia, as they could be; called here to participate In the de liberations if their work should not be completed by that time. Not Prolong Caucus Senator Simmons said lie believed the bill could be reported to the Sonute by June 25. "I do not anticipate that the caucus will lie prolonged, or that the caucus will materially change the report of the finance committee, inasmuch as our work has been almost unanimous.” Administrative features of the . bill Which have delayed the work of the com mittee thus far, the senator said, would be solved by the committee within a few days, as the subcommittee in charge of the feature would complete its work and report to-the majority members tomor row. Secretary -of the Treasury McAdoo, he stated,- had submitted manv valuable suggestions, many of which would be accepted. ' EE' Special Committee to Ask Permission to Further Broaden Scope DAY IS FILLED WITH SENSATIONS i (rallanger Says Wilson “Dangerously Near a Lobbyist”—Palmer Brings Up Recent Democratic Cam paign—May Extend Time Washington, June 13.—Lobbying as a fine art, how it is done, anil ^\vho is re | sponsible, what ends are sought and what I results are accomplished, probably will be investigated by the special Senate jiobby committee before it concludes its | work and submits a report to the Sen ate. For nearly two weeks the five sena tors on the committee have listened to testimony that lias dealt almost exclusive ly with the influence exerted on the tariff bill, but it has uncovered enough trails to lead members to believe that cam paigns of every sort political, industrial and economic, have been conducted much along the same lines, through paid agents and efforts to create public sentiment favorable to the causes concerned. To Further Broaden Scope In executive session tonight the commit tee decided to submit to the Senate tho question of a further broadening of the scope of its inquiry. The investigation lias taken so much time that some sena tors on the committee thought that it might he well to limit its activities to a complete Inquiry into lobbying for ami .'gainst sugar and wool, but after a hall hour's session, Chairman Overman was instructed to lay the whole matter before the Senate. It was believed tonight that the time limit ol days placed upon the com mittee would be extended and that the | investigation would go Into every possi ble phase of what the committee sus pects is lobbying. Any skeletons that have dangled In the closets of Congress and any soiled linen that may have hung there will be exhibited to public eye and legislation to impose drastic restrictions upon lobbying and the “acceleration” of 1 ublic opinion, may result. Chairman Overman said at the conclusion of the executive session that none could see how long thq inquiry might take if an exten sion of time i> granced and the om mittec takes up the broad subject of gen eral lobbying. Filled With Sensations The committee’s decision came at the end of a day filled with sensations. On two occasions President Wilson figured in the testimony. Senator Gallinger told i the committee that in his opinion the ' President had once at least come “dan gerously near lobbying," and 'Trueman , G. Palmer. VV’asU||).gton n present:! t i v. [ of the frilled Stales beet sugar indus try, declared that a “plate matter” campaign much similar to the one con ducted in newspapers h\ him had ac companied tho campaigns of the Presi dent and Jlepresentativc fnderwood i before the Baltimore convention. Senator Cummins cross-examined Mr. Palmer at length about details of his newspaper campaign and developed that to the best knowledge of the wit ness many of the big interests of the country were engaged in similar ef forts to mold the opinion of the coun try. The question of who was responsible for an alleged Senate order for the publication as a public document of “data prepared by Trueman G. Palmer. ' in “Sugar at a Glance,” bobbed up again before adjournment when Chairman Overman announced that the commit tee intended to call Aniaelm Wold, printing clerk of the Senate. State ment made to him and to Senator Nel son by Mr. Wold, he said, showed that '•nly one order had been made by the Senate, although two art* alleged to have been made. To Secure Printing (’hart Senator l.»odgo. who .secured an order for the printing of charts made by Mr. Palmer, will take the stand to explain his connection with "Sugar at a Glance"* If he desires, and Mr. Palmer, whose testimony was concluded today, will be held here until this matter is cleared up.

BETTY Whether or not the state of Alabama will at any time in the near future con struct a system of trunk highways, ax* ttmMng from one end of the state to an other, north and south and cast and w ent. Is a question that notie <an answer, but dt is practically certain that a-line boule vard will connect. Birmingham and Mont gomery long before the people of the state have ceased to discuss the issues of the recent national campaign or have for gotten the last amendment fight. A highway between Birmingham and Montgomery is practically assured. This fact was demonstrated yesterday ufter noon when the state highway commission party came in an automobile over the roads from Montgomery to Birmingham in [less time, probably, than any at her au tomobile has been uhle to make the trip. Altogether, not more than six hours were consumed in running the Jim) and odd miles between this city ami the state capital. System of Trunk Highways The? highway commission party is tour ing the state for the purpose of making a preliminary survey lor a system of trunk highways. The party is under the leadership of State Knglneer W. S. Kel ler. who is making the survey, and who will make a full report of his trip, to gether with his recommendations, to the members of the commission, Capt. John Craft of Mobile, a member of the com mission. and one of the most enthusiastic exponents of good roads in the state, is accompanying Knglneer Keller upon the trip. Knglneer Keller and his party left Mont gomery at 0:20 o'clock yesterday morn ing and arrived in Birmingham at exactly J:20 o'clock In the afternoon. Approxi mately three hours were taken up on the way by various stops, the tirst having been at Clanton, where the highway scouts were met by a number of resi dents of that place. Thirty minutes were taken up at t lanton, and the next delay was at Calera, where the party stopped an hour for lunch. The party stopped several times be tween Calera and Birmingham, the 1-st wait being at the Jefferson county con vict camp about eight miles from Bir mingham. There Mr. Keller and Ills party were met by tin* members of the Jeffer son county board of revenue, County Kn glneer Jerry C.cwln and others. An hour and Hfteen minutes were spent at the convict camp, from which place the party came into Birmingham. Trip Causes Surprise The Birmingham party who met the state scouts expressed great surprise over the time made by the state scouts on the trip from Montgomery. Mr. Keller and ill party hud been at the camp long enough to take several pictures, inspect the quarters of the convicts, and to in* dulgv in a short social talk with the camp superintendent and others at the camp before the automobile from Bir mingham apepared upon the scene. The members of the Jefferson county hoard of revenue could scarcely believe that Mr. Keller had not traveled till night long in order to make such quick time. Thev all declared that they expected the highway party to reach Birmingham about t» o'clock in the afternoon, indi cating that they did not believe it was possnble to drive an automobile over the inn miles between Montgomery and Bir mingham in less than 12 hours. Ye.t, despite the incredulity of the Jef ferson county board of revenue, Hie trip here from the Capita! City of the state consumed only six hours, and the ac complishment of that feat has made pos sible the opening* of a highway or boule vard between the two cities within the near future. (toads Considered Fairly (iood With the exception of a few places, the road s between Birmingham and Mont* g ornery are fairly gortd.
