Dec. <— The newly appointed house'committee on banking and currency herd its first meeting to [ day,'- spending. two" and a half hours in j Discussing 1 ; the currency' 'question *In : several af> its. phases.? ;At the xionchi slon->of : the meeting several of ...the members said that as a result of the conference ,fha members of the com mittee were now nearer together than they ever had been .before, notwith standing that the same men — with the exception of three — composed the com mittee during . the fifth-ninth congress. I The only definite action taken at this initial meeting was the authorizing of the chair to appoint a. subcommittee of five members to draft and submit a currency bill to correct ; the present financial situation.- There will, be no hearings before the committee until the subcommittee has finished its task and the completed draft is in the hands of the chairman. Two phases of the currency question were discussed at today's conference. These were the, creation of < elasticity in the currency and the disposition of reserve balances in national banks. The committee apparently was agreed that It would 'sanction no move to increase the bulk of paper money, but would confine itself to the consideration of the best means of injecting elasticity. The plan of providing ;for the Issuance of national bank credit notes which would be drawn into circulation instantly when general conditions required an increased currency was discussed af some length. \u25a0 It was urged strongly that the laws should be changed so as to prevent the absorption of reserve moneys,; in na tional-banks by banks In reserve cities. National banks are required to hold In reserve cities three-fifths of their re serve capital, and it was pointed out that under , this requirement , country banks had to send this reserve; portion to the nearest designated reserve city whose banks, it was. asserted; lent it out, and In time of sudden emergency found themselves unable to respond to the call of the country banks'for.'returri of.-the :deposlts.^;.Several members of the commltte.e expressed the opinion that'the lending jbl.reserve funds should, be checked by legislation:.. r , : ; r LEADING REPUBLICANS FLOCK TO WASHINGTON National Committee Will Be in Session on . * Friday " NEW IS DISGUSTED Dislikes Prospect of Con ' vention Being Delayed by Congress SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL .WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.— The meeting of the republican national committee Friday is absorbing attention here and bringing >,big. politicians from all over the ' country to Washington, \u25a0.if ActingvChairman Harry S. New came in last -night -and v. was busy today giv ing the .glad 1 hand to arriving commit teemen. He was disgusted to learn that statesmen on the hill had been predict ing that congress would ; not get through until late in the summer and that the convention might not be field until July, "For my part," he told the commit teemen, "I am for an early convention. If I could have the say I, would not hold the convention later than June 1." '. : The convention city boomers are on hand: Kansas City's delegates rolled in this , afternoon In two special cars and. repaired' to the Shoreham, where they set the' ball rolling for their city. .The Kansas City boom ers said they intended to make things hot while they -.were "on the job," whereupon "It was remarked that Kan sas City had. a faculty for that same. It was some hot in Kansas City in 1900 wherK the democratic national conven tion met there. Chicago seems to have dropped out of the running altogether. Denver is mak ing a bluff, and It is believed that St. Louis will be the only earnest com petitor of Kansas City. Atlantic City \u25a0wants the convention, but apparently has not "the price." The prospect of dipping in big breakers after a hard day's session is mighty al luring to some of the politicians. 4RMY.AXD.NAVY ORDERS WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.— Army or ders: Captain Raymond R.
