Philippine Coinage Bill Rejected In House Vote
The House defeated the Philippine coinage bill 146 to 128 and adopted a minority substitute to establish United States currency and coinage in the islands. The substitute makes US money legal tender in the Philippines and sets coinage at two pesos per dollar with silver valued at bullion. A six month limit brings non US coins intoeligible tender. The Panama Canal treaty with Colombia was signed earlier in Washington. The Navy Affairs Committee also gained authority to investigate Lessler's charges over submarine boat appropriations.
