Washington Sees Govern

OPPOSE BOND SECURITY
WASHINGTON, Sept 14. A portentous,
MW complication was Injected today Into
America's International relations:
Bhall the United States Government be
come "banker" for the Allies?
Thlr was the question raised by the pro
posal of the Anglo-French banking com
mission In conference with New York
financiers. It was an Issue which was
looked upon as ranking In Importance
with the submarine controversy.
The two questions were lnter-related.
That Germany and Austria mlsht protest
vtxalnst the proposed mammoth loan as
Unneutral was rerortcd In diplomatic
quarters.
Intimations from high oftlclals that the
Washington Government would disap

tHe ALI1CB 11 I. .. duivij u;uii uuilUB
of the nations asking It.
The Government Is represented In the
conferences, although unofficially, It was
learned today. A Treasury official Is
meeting with the European and American
financiers. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo Is watching the course of the
negotiations carefully.
r It was reported today that the Ameri
can bankers will sound out the Adminis
tration before completing any loan. A
committee may como here to meet Mc
Adoo. Officials pointed out that the Govern
ment has already Indicated that it frowns
on loans to any of the belligerents. Thus
far It has not actually stepped In t"
prevent a loan, however. But there was
excellent authority for today's report
that. If the national bonds, otherwise un
secured, are the only security offered
by the Allies for the proposed $1,000,000,
000 advance, the Administration Is dis
posed to prevent the transaction as gross
ly unneutral.

CONTRACTORS' DINNER
Three Leading Men in Mayor
alty Race Absent from "Good
Humor" Affair
Not a one of the three candidates of the
mayoralty appeared at the luncheon of
the Contractors' Association of Philadel
phia In the Hotel Adclphla today. Direc
tor George D Porter, Thomas 11. Smith,
and Colonel Sheldon Totter had all been
Invited nnd It was expected that they
would oil meet at the luncheon.
Mnvor niankenburg was represented by
Director Cooke, of the Department of
Public Works, who praised tho association
and Its purposes. This purposo Is to pro
moto frltndly 'relations between the con
tractors and the people of tho city and to
prmnote co-operation with the city govern
ment. The Director said there was too much
delay between the time a public project
its conceived and the time of its com
pletion. "The city Is frequently at fault In this
work," he said. "There Is too much led
tape. Much of this can be done away
with bj our help. Sometimes the ofll
cia of tho city government arc to blame
1 admit that 1 am often at fault, because
1 am unavoidably called out of town
"Tlicie should bo more city Inspectors
Any huncst contractor profits by high
class Inspection. You don't want cubs
or ciooIcb lo Inspect your work, but jou
do wiint high-class men
"Philadelphia should Iks more open than
It Is There should be competition from
outside the city. This would make It
easier for you to get contracts In other
cities.
"You can call on the administration at
any time for aid. We have spent $lo,
O0O.0CO In my department, and I am
plc.ised that 1 can look In the eje of
every man and know that I never helped
him do anything he shouldn't hae done "
Director Cooke said he regretted that
the administration had but three months
to carry out the new plan of co-operation
Among the speakers at the luncheon were
David Peoples, president of the associa
tion: R. A. Manwaring, secretary, and
Senator Vare. The latter was tho only
prominent figure In the political world
who was present. About 75 attended.
Among tho contracting flrnn represented
were the American Sewer ripe Company,
the Bath Portland Cement Company, the
Vulcanite Cement Company. Coplay Ce
ment Company. Eastern Paving Company.
Keystone Brick Company, and the Pear
son Iudaschcr Lumber Company
Although the dinner was supposed to be
a nonpolitlcal affair, it was generally
believed to have been fostered by the
Organization to put the contractors In
good humor
City Suffragists Pleased
Suffragists were elated today over the
announcement that the next State con
vention of the Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrage Association will be held In this
city on November 30. "If we win on
November 2." said Miss Patterson, State
chairman, "the 1915 convention will take
tho form of a Jubilee. If we lose It will
be a short session, with merely official
reports and elections." The invitation
to hold the 1915 convention in Philadel
phia was Issued by the Woman Suffrage
party of Philadelphia, and vas signed
by'Dr. E. M. Heistand Moore.

Loading Autocars
on Chestnut Street
In the work of repaying Chestnut street, Philadelphia, the Autocars of the McNichoI Paving and Construction Co.
attracted much attention. Four cars were in use the first two doing what it formerly took nine teams to accomplish,
These Autocars hauled both men and materal sand, cement, earth, broken asphalt, wood blocks and Belgian blocks,
carrying loads over the torn-up paving, car tracks and rough roadbed, as well as over soft dirt
They made 12 trips each in every 10-hour day and worked double shift both day and night. Each traveled up to 91
miles in 1 0 hours, and could do more but for the inability of the men to load any faster with their shovels,
Mr, McNichoI was astonished by the work of the Autocars especially as, he says, he did not consider it was possible
for any truck to do what the Autocars accomplished. He has just placed an order for two more Autocars.
Autocars are used in every line of business by over 2600 concerns. Ask for a detontrvtkm in your ow rwiiimu.
