ia Washington. Sept. 15.?With wellid

eo smoothly, the administration curis
' rency bill today rolled steadily to by
1 ward completion under detailed conad
sideration in the house. The chorus
ry of Democratic "noes" iiuickly disposed
of the numerous efforts of Rea

i- the provisions of the measure. Not
be a single material amendment was
al voted into the bill,
as At the close of the day nearly half
It of the bill had been read. At this
Hi rate the house leaders tonight
nd thought they might be able to finish
some time Wednesday.
) LINE HOLDS FIRM.
'p The debate bristled with charges
uj of "gag law" and "caucus rule" from
tu, the minority, with occasional sympathetic
replies from the Democratic
side, but when the votes were needed
CP the line held firm. Representative
Mondell of Wyoming and Progressive
jl Leader Murdock devoted considered
able time to pleading with the Demoa
crats to "break the shackles" and
desert, the caucus pledge. Mr. Mondell
became involved in a spirited
e,l controversy with Representative

to say about Republican caucus

Representative Murdock in one of his

k(,_ The amendment, after a vigorous discussion.
was voted down. 78 to 29.
Several similar amendments wero
defeated.
STAND RY CAUCUS.
An attempt was made to write into
the bill a provision forbidding officers
or directors in national banks from
holding similar places in other national
banks, or in any other financial
institutions. The Democrats

'I' Republicans Assail Principal Features

-j Washington. Sept. IS.?The houso

debate on the administration

_ gressives criticised the measure on
various points and Democrats lauded
14;; it as the means of evolving a safe,
0*7 solid financial system.
Altogether some three score mem bers
talked on the bill. The Repubjn
licans devoted themselves to attaekI,-.
ing four principal po'nts regarding
the measure. First, they condemned
k.p, the secret committee meetings and
as. the secret Democratic caucus, which

found this an inspiring theme.
