sideration." "Superintendent Robinson and I went
over tho list corefully for weeks. Polltlqs
didn't figure In any of tho appointments.
lAfter the policemen had filed their ap
plications, we Investigated the records
ofyeach applicant. We Inquired Into his
qualifications as a police ofllcer, and alto
trleq to ascertain what sort of an educa
tion leach man had. Then wo made up
three lists which were headed 'Excellent,'
'Good' and 'Fair.' Later Superintendent
Robinson and I visited different parts of
me city ana personally viowed hun
dreds of policemen. Finally we decided
to appoint the four men named."
Minister to Belgium, outlined the propos
als formulated by former President Taft.
which are the starting point of the con
ference's discussions. The project In
cludes four proposals:
"Before this war, I, like many others,
favored a purely voluntary International
cmlrt of Justice." said Mr. Marburg.
"Tho Hague Convention, the Interna
tional Commission of Inquiry, Good Of
fices and Mediation and the Permanent
Court of Arbitration all are voluntary
Institutions. Since this war, many of
us have begun to feel that tho element
of obligation must be added."
"Such n group as the projected league
would embrace, to begin with, the eight
great Powers, Including ourselves. In
them you would have three great peo
ples, the English, the French and our
selves, who have common political aspira
tions. That Is, they have ceased to look
upon democracy as a passing phase of
political experiment, and have come Id
regard It as n fact of polities. You would
have two. Important nations, Orcat Britain
and the United States, which may be
said to bo satisfied territorially,
"Whether n league of peace Is possible
or not depends on the answer to the
question, Wilt It do Justice? If It does
Hot do Justice the league cannot be permanent."
SAYS SCHEME IS NOT "UTOPIAN"
Dr. John Bates Clark, professor of
economics In Columbia University, de
clared that tho scheme Is not Utopian nnd
that "something having tho character
istics of a league of peace Is rapidly
evolving something that Is highly ef
fective and will have ample force nt Its
command. At the closo of the war It
probably will need only minor modifica
tion to enable It to prevent for an In
definite tlmo recurrence of a great wnr
on tho Continent of Europe. The En
tonto and the Alliance nro In full vigor
and each was formed for a paclfc purpose-
tho protection of members from
nttack. They will drop their present
militancy when they gain their chief
end security against another war with
out It."

Head of Bankers' Association
Urges Preparation for Float
ing of Government Paper.
CAPE MAY, June 17. Preparation for a
bond Issue by the Government, which ho
thinks will take placo beforo long to In
crease tho navy and Improve coast de
fenses, was urged upon delegates attend
ing the Pennsylvania Bankers' Associa
tion convention here by L. T. McFaddcn,
of Canton, Pa., president of the associa
tion. Mr. McFadden devoted most of his an
nual address to the effect of tho Euro
pean war upon financial and business
conditions In this country. It seems to bo
the consensus of public opinion, he de
clared, that tho United States should be
better prepared to rcslBt potslblo Invasion
nnd to enforce such demands as those
mado upon the Kaiser by President Wil
son In the Lusltanla notes. He expressed
the opinion that the agitation for greater
preparedness will undoubtedly necessitate
the expenditure of great sums In the near
future for battleships and coast defenses.
Mr. McFadden urged tho bankcrB to
take advantage of tho present opportuni
ties for tho development of trade In the
foreign markets, particularly In tho coun
tries of South nnd Latin America. Ho
roferred to the recent visit of the Pan
American delegates to this country as
being of tho grentest significance to the
financiers and business men of the United
States, and urged the delegates to look
to South America for Investments for
their surplus funds. Ho also suggested

PEACE PLANS
Continued from race One
tween this country and Great Britain,
especially In matters concerning- Canada,
as an example of what may be accom
plished by paciflo measures of adjust
ment. "Economic pressure," exerted by cut
ting off supplies from a belligerent which
violated the treaty terms of the league,
was declared by Edward A. Fllene, of
Boston, representing the United States
Chamber of Commerce, to be available a.
a means of punishing such a nation.
. "Force of arms would still be available
If this economic pressure failed," he
said.
URGES DEFENSE OF SEA niGHTS
A strong- stand by the United States in
defense of the rights of her citizens on
the seas was advocated by Mr. Fllene
who said:
A strong stand by tho United States
in defense of the rights of her citizens
on the seas was one of the first policies
advocated today at the opening session
of the League of Peace Conference, called
by ex.Presldent Taft and 112 other prom
inent Americans In Independence Hall.
It was made by Edward A. Fllene, of
ponton, representing the United States
Chamber of Commerce, who said:
"If America stands now for the rights
of her citizens on the high seas she will
help to give the world sound peace after
the war, The present situation compels
attention on the part of our nation to In
ternatlonal affairs that It has never be
fore been compelled In any Insistent way
to give to them. This Is evidenced by the
present crisis. The American Government
may. by its action within the next few
days or weeks, determine the kind of set
tlement that EuroDe will h- . ,.
after the war-a settlement so funda
mentally important to the peace and pros.
Pjnty of the United States. For these
things we roust stand If we woul,i n,.!
serve our own respeet, our own Interests
and those of civilisation in' general.
The rights of travel on the seas which
fire now at stake," he said, "can be
vindicated finally only by a drastlo re
form of ten. law, an international court
to Klve a Just Interpretation of this law
and some method of compelling respect
for the court's deelslon, which means
hiding- something better as a way of en
forcing International law than taking
ld in a war In which both sides may
be violating the law. The United States
can And that method by properly or
ganizing in advance economic pressure

"There Is no doubt as to the need for a
great merchant marine In this country,"
Mr. McFadden said, "but tho Interference
of tho Government In this development Is
to bo deprecated. As soon as a fow ob
Jectionable features are removed from
trie reaerai laws covering this matter,
American capital will bo enabled to han
dle tho situation without aid of the Gov
ernment." The Federal Iteserve system, according
to Mr. McFadden's summary, has been
working satisfactorily. Ho suggested sev
eral changes, among them tho transfer
of the arbitrary powers now exorcised by
tho Comptroller of the Currency to the
Federal Reserve Board. This, ho sold,
would make for greater efficiency and
security.

An unusual feature of the graduation
exercises at tho B. B. Comegy'a School
In West Philadelphia yesterday was tho
manner In which the prophecy was han
dled by tho seeresses of the class of Miss
Francis H. Leeds.
Instead of following tho beaten path,
tho committee, consisting of Misses Flor
enco Mclntyre, Hnrrlet C. McLnln and
Emily Thompson, gavo the prophecy In

bor, Me., In 102o.
Tho llttlo play was acted by the mem

lines wero full of wit. ,
The amateurs wero recalled five times,
nnd the uproar was only stayed by com
mand of the principal, Mrs. Emma V. T.
Tindal.
Tho paroling by Coroner Knight of
IPollceman John Archibald, of tho Mth
and Fcdorat Btreets station, charged with
homicide, has been declared unlawful by
District Attorney Rotan, who says that
It Is In direct conflict with n, decision by
Judge Sulzberger that o. defendant In
volved In tho death of another person
must be committed to prison by tho Cor
oner and can only be released on ball
after tho Court has rovlewed the case.
Policeman Archibald shot and killed
John J. Mtirtagh whllo pursuing him at
21st and Morris sheets last Saturday. In
stead of being committed to Moyamens
lng Prison by the Coroner and held thero
until released on ball, Archibald liaa
been paroled In tho custody of hU supe
rior ofllcer, Pollco Lieutenant Bennett.
Archibald was held yesterday by Cor
oner Knight to await the action of the
Grand Jury, but when tho prison records
and those of the criminal courts failed
to show that the policeman had entered
ball following the coronor'n hearing or
that he was In Jail, his whereabouts be-
c.imo Bomewhat as a mystery. Tho Dis
trict Attorney then declared that if
Archibald was not In prison tho law had
not been compiled with. After a. busy
session nt tho telephone, it was discovered
that tho policeman had been paroled.
"I know of no legal authority for
Archibald not being In prison If he wnq
held to await the action of the Grand
Jury In a homicide case," said District
Attorney Itotan. "Coroner Knight had
no right to parole Archibald In tho cus
tody of the policeman's superior ofllcer,
If such Is tho caso. Under tho law Archi
bald should bo held In Jnll until the court
allows ball, and there Is a legal decision
for tho Coroner's guidance In this respect.
Asoroner Knight had no authority to
parole Archibald, he should Beo that the
policeman is brought in at once."
It Is alleged that Murtagh was shot
while running from a pawnshop where
ho attempted to pawn a watch believed
to hnvo been stolen.
