MEW1 TOItlt, Sept 23 -Representatives
of England and Franco enme to the
United State reeking a billion-dollar war
IdaW,' arfd ttiey got a loan, the ultimate
net vafue q( which will be 3S8,0OO,0O0
when the-premiums and Interest are paid.
On th( bails of the agreement England
nod France must pay 125.000,000 annually
a Interest on the hatf-bllllon-dollar loan.
This Was the chief topic of discission In
Wall street today, following; tho formal
announcement of tho completion of the
roost fgantlc loan ever neRotlated.
Following tho formal announcement of
the Anglo-French Credit Commission that
a war loan had been secured, tho work
preliminary to putting the bonds upon
the. market was begun today by a abdi
cate headed by J, P. Morgan.
This U not a loan for capitalists exclu
sively. The pcoplo'a, money will bo so
licited. J, P. Morgan & Co. announce
that the bonds will be Issued In denomi
nations as low as $100, payable in Instal
ments, MONEY MARKET SArE.
Bankers declare that the money market
will not Be disturbed by the loan, and
that the rate of exchange of pounds
starling and francs will be stabilized.
Money subscribed to the loan will be
kept in American banks to bo checked
against by the French and British Gov
ernments. Russia will not participate, but no bar
has been placed upon tho expenditure of
the money for arms and ammunition, as
well as for grain, clothing and other ne
cessities. Every effort Is being made by the al
lied governments to make the loan popu
lar In thU country. Tho desire to stim
ulate Interest In the West was one of
the "reasons that Baron Reading and
other members of the credit commission
went tp Chicago. The commissioners also
made a concession In granting postpone
ments, which will make the bonds yield
investors 6M per cent. At first they de
claredAthey could not pay more than 5
per cen to the buyers of the bonds.
BABY BONDS FAVORED.
Special efforts will be made to place the
"baby bonds" of J10O denomination among
email Investors throughout the country.
Formal notification has been made that
they will be free of all taxes In both
England and France.
This Is tho first external loan placed
by the Allies since the war began; but
the cfiprts made to popularize this one
Indicate that. If tho war goes anot'ier
year, the Allies will bo seeking more
money here In the meantime.

FMLADEIjIHIA committee
ON ALLIES' LOAN NAMED
Drexel & Co. and Brown Brothers to
Take Charge of Work
Drexel & Co and Brown Brothers have
been appointed as the committee for
Philadelphia to organize groups of banks
and Investors to float the 100,000,000 loan
or the Allies for this district.
According to a member of the Morgan
firm, the task of floating the big loan
has made good headway, one national
bank In New York having received re
quest for 110,000,000 worth of the new
securities.
Bond experts regard the Anglo-French
notes as a moat attractive Investment,
and the Issuing of them In denominations
ai small as 1100 will, they say, make them
very popular and will serve to creato
a very wide market. It Is only In recent
ears, they point out, that $100 bonds
have been Istued In tho United States,
and this only In connection with minor
Issues, but the tendency In the bond
market for the last few years has been
toward an adoption of the French custom
of making all bond Investments popular
by placing them within the reach of the
humblest Investor.

FINAL PLEA AGAINST
PROHIBITIVE LAW
Judge Patterson Hears Final
Argument in Suit to Re
strain Enforcement of
City Ordinance
ATTACKED AS UNFAIR
Counsel for Petitioners Calif Statute
Discriminatory Ryan Urges
Modification
Final arguments were made before
Judge Patterson today In tho suit In
equity brought by the Philadelphia Jit
ney Association nnd the South Philadel
phia Jitney Owners' Association to re
strain the city from enforcing the conn
cllmnnlo Jitney ordinance. Upon the de
cision of Judge Patterson rests the fate
of the Jitneys.
Michael Francis Doyle, for the Jitney
men, said the ordinance was prolnbltlvo
nnd not regulative, nnd aigued from this
that Councils had no nuthority to pass It
He quoted many precedents and decisions
and went Into the case at length.
The Jitney ordinance aa now on the
statute books, Mr DoIe held, was trade
reflation, something outside the Juris
diction of, Councils Judge Patterson
seemed to bo deeply Impressed with this
line of argument. He Interrupted once
to ask Mr Dolo whether he thought
tho city might say with nuthority that
no Jltnnys might run under any condi
tion Sir. Doylo replied In the negative.
He snld at present the law discriminates
In favor of tho man who can afford to
pay a higher price. The argument will
bo concluded today. In all probability,
and the Jitney men aro confident of suc
cess.
COLLOQUY OF CITY COUNSEL.
Assistant City Solicitor Wolf nnd Tlrst
Assistant City Solicitor Lowengrund got
Into an amusing argument with Judgo
Patterson when tho former stnrted his
nnswer to Mr Doyle's contention Tho
Court asked, after Mr. Wolf declared tho
cltv had the right to prohibit tho run
ning of Jitneys absolutely, whether he
thought the city could order Jitneys to
run between or In cemeteries, where It
would be Impossible to get any passen
gers "Certainly," said Mr. Wolf, "In my
opinion."
At this point Mr. Lowengrund Jumped
to his feet.
"I don't want to Interrupt my col
league," ho said, "but the fnct is we're
not trying to moke the Jitneys run
through cemeteries."
Attendants had to use their gavels to
restore order In the court rooms
In his rebuttal Mr. Doyle pointed out
that, as the Legislature had specifically
conferred on City Councils authority to
regulate the ;Itney busses, it automatic
ally deprived 'hat body of the right to
prohibit them Judge Patterson reserved
decision.
RYAN URGES MODIFICATION.

COUNCILS TURN DEAF

All Chance of Using Structure
as Bait for Republican
Convention Now Gone
Councils, by pigeonholing the Conven
tion Hall plan over the summer months,
have almost certainly delajed matters to
a point whero the big building cannot bo
used ns a drawing card for the city In
the effort to bring tho National Republi
can Conxentlon to this city In 1916.
Several times public meetings to dis
cuss tho advantages of the various pro
posed locations have been promised by
the members of tho Finance Committee,
and It wns generally understood that
such meetings would be ntnong Its llrst
held this fall. With the mono proviueu
by a mnulclpal loan nothing has been
done In the way of an early decision as
to location and plans.
Desplto the fact that the money Is
available, and that a decision as to the
location could readily have been reached
months ngo, the many resolutions urging
action and pointing out tho advantages,
of the three principal locations still
slumber In committee, and no action on
them Is evidently contemplated.
Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets,
the Orccn street entrnnce to Falrmount
Park nnd tho Allegheny avenue site
would nil be acceptable to Mayor Blank
cnburg, who Is particularly anxious that
nt least the preliminary work be started
under his administration.
When Councils met for the first fall
session two weeks ago resolutions and
petitions urging prompt action were re

most of the associations of business men
In the city. These are now resting quietly
In committee, and memDers oi mo

Helen D King, After Long Research and Experiment
tion on Rodents, Says Intermarriage of Close Rela
tions Contains No Dangers of Degeneration
Twenty generations of white rats, bliss
fully unconscious of the fact that the
whole theory of human marital relation
ship may be subjected to a revolutionary
disturbance as the result of the expert-
-.,. it,.. t,v been made upon them,
are basking In their cages out at the
animal colony of tho WIstar Institute of
Anatomy and Dlology at tho University
of Pennsylvania, wtille ft waiting world
holds Its breath to find put "";
"stunts" science is going to perpetrate
In order to startle us next
For a period of four and ft "ft" years
Dr. Helen D. King, a woman, Incidentally,
nnd one of the cleverest research work
ers at the Institute, has been Interbreed
Ing the rodents. Father rats have marr ed
daughter rats; cousin rata have married
cousin rats, aunts have married nephews.
The consequence Is that after a score of
generations of rnts had been experimented
with Doctor King got ft race wh ch. she
says. Is 30 per cent better physically than
ihA ritta Hhft started with.
Since practically all scientific discover
ies of this nature are based on animal
experimentation. Doctor King's work
Is regarded as highly significant
Doctor King herself did not hesitate to
declare emphatically this morning that
the laws forbidding Intermarriage and
the traditions handed down from time Im
memorial that have made the union of
close relatives repugnant, cannot base
their existence on any scientific fact
"For 21 generations," she declared, "I
havo Intermarried a oromer ana eisior

than the first ones. A rat Is a mamma)
and man Is ft mammal ; therefore. It Is not
too much to think that the same principle "
can be applicable to each.
Tho contention that tho Intermarrying
of closo relatives la bound to result It
degenerate or Inferior offspring was then
dealt ft body blow by the Investigator
"I firmly believe," she said, "thouth,,
oi course, n nua uuw ltcch inca oui, ihfct
If a brother nnd n. sister, carefully
selected and of a higher type, were to
marry, the result of the union would be a
higher Upe of offspring than from the'
Intel marriage of two other people. Th
opinion regarding the degeneracy ot tht
offspring or sucn a union exists because
the only races who Intermarry are
degenerate races and therefore you set
a race of oven greater degeneracy."
According to Dr. M. J. Qrecnman, direct
tor of the WIstar Institute, who hai
been watching Doctor King's work with
the closest attention1, the theory of tha
dangers In Intermarrying of blood rela-
lives has no scicnimc lounaauon.
"I do not think It would be too rnnoh
to say," he declared, "that as the result
of Doctor King's experiments It would
be perfectly safe for close blood relatives
to marry, If they aro carefully selected.
Of course, In nn experiment with rati
there Is no way of telling what the f.
feet might bo on the mentality. The Im
provement noted has been purely a phyI.
cal one."
White rats wero chosen because of th
rapidity with which they breed, and front,
no other 'mammals would It havo been
posslblo to obtain tho largo number ot
generations In less than five years. '
