U. S. BANKERS SHY
AT CHINESE LOAN
Haggle Over Terms of $5,000,000
Loan and $30,000,000 Not Made
Attractive Enough
"WASHIN'OTON'. Aug. 7. Hope for a
large Chinese lnnn by American bankers
has been virtually abandoned by tho State
Department. Officials ndmlttcil today that
they wero greatly discouraged over tho
falluro of the bankers nnd tho Chinese
Government to ngreo on terms for lending
tho J 4.000,000 balance of a J5.000.0ou loan
already arranged.
The Chinese Government has been In
formed flatly that tho terms of the $30,
000,000 loan, which would have followed
tho smaller one, are not sufficiently at
tractive. On behalf of tho American bank
ers the Stnto Department pointed out thnt
tho collateral offered Chlncso Treasury
notes ls not satisfactory. Actual Incomo,
secured by n special tax, will bo necessary.
It wns pointed out.
In thin connection, American bankers aro
dissatisfied with tho schemo of attempting
to handle another largo consignment of
forotgn securities Much of the huge loan
to the Allies ls still on tho hands of tho
bankers and tho market Is flooded with
foreign securities. Tho planned Chinese
loan lias been nldcd in every possible way
by Acting Secretary ot State Polk and
Third Assistant Secretary Phillips, who
havo been anxious fo put it through to
ttrengthen this country's position in China.
They now nre negotiating with another
group of American bankers to renew tho
negotiations.

ROME, Aug. 7. Tho French Cardinals,
Archbishops nnd nlso the clergy nnd lay
men have appealed to the Popo protesting
strongly ngainst "tho vandalism of tho Ger

Tho Vatican Is making a caeful Mim

In behalf of the French population In occu

CONFLICTS WITH POLICY
WASHINGTON'. Aug. 7. Pressure such
ns Congress has seldom met already has
been brought to be-ir on members of tho
Hniibo anil Senate against tho proposal to
Include In the Democratic revenun bill n tax
on Incomes as low as $3000 nnd $2000.
By letter, telegram and personnl visit rep
resentatives of the $3000 and $2000 a year
earners of the country have commenced
besieging their representatives As a re
sult a tight has been stnrted which threat
ens to split the Democratic party wide
open. '
Democratic leaders of the House, who are
on record ngninst the proposal to lower the
exemption to $3000 for married men nnd
$2000 for single men. are determined that
the Senate proposal to tax the lower In
comes shall not prevail.
"The effort to lower the exemption on
Incomes cannot prevail." said Majority
Leader Kitchin. of the House "y Is en
tirely out of harmony with Uio theory upon
which the revenue bill wns framed. The
bill proposed to tax those classes which
benefit from the expenditures which made
additional taxation necessary. The money
is to bo spent largely on preparation for
war-
"The $2000 and $3000 a year men of the

HULKS WORKING WRLL.
Director Wilson, of tho Department of
Public Safety, todav expressed himself ns
much pleased with tho early working of the
new tr.itlle regulations "Look around City
Hall now," he Mild, "and notice tho differ
ence. Automobiles used to be plied up at
the curb and In front of tho buildings so
that It was Impossible to get n clear view
across the street. It Is different now. and
much better No cars are allowed to park,
except long enough to take on or to let off
passengers The single exception Is In the
eat-e of city physicians who come here In
their cars for the purpose of reporting cases
of infantile paralysis We reall.se that they
cannot put their cara In garages for a mat
ter of 15 or 20 minutes, so I have instructed
the police to grant them a littlo leeway in
this matter
"No other exceptions are granted. Direc
tors, Assistant Directors nnd other city
officials using automobiles are not allowed
to pari; their cars In tho vicinity of the
building They must unload, then go away
"We are strictly enforcing the new rule
Tho advantage Is apparent already. Every
body has a chanco to get an unobstructed
view of the street, and it Is now possible to
cross without the necessity of dodging
through the line of parked curs at tho curb.
So far the operation of the new law has
been successful."
