BANKS ARE DISCUSSED
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE
Sub-Body of Five Members
Appointed !to Draft a
Bill on Currency
WASHINGTON.' 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

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.
