FINANCIERS FAVOR SMALL BOND ISSUES Bankers Deem McAdoo Plan of Raising $14,000,000,000 at Once Unwise PREFER BRITISH METHOD PLAN TO HARMONIZE CONDITIONS ABOARD SHIP Commerce Chamber Sends Dele gates to Conference in Wash ington Tomorrow The question as to whether Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo Is showing" good Judgment In proposing to raise $14,000, 000.000 at once for war jmrposcs, after less than four month nf unr. Is ttlng discussed freely In financial circles of Philadelphia, Some financier refer to his method as "plunging" hen compared with tho moth od at first adapted hv llrlttsh nnd French financiers, lio, at the outset, favored com paratively sm.tll but frequent unr grants, On this subject Char'ea S Cnlwell, presi dent of the Corn i:chnnge National Hank, Second and Chestnut streets, said: "1 am not willing to concede that nil tho brains and financial genius Is on this side of the Atlantic, nor am I willing torpneede, as some tln.inclrrs In other cities would hnvo us believe Jhat tiw method by which llng llsh and French financiers raised war funds at the beginning of the war are all wrong These men have had a long experience in such matters, and their Judgment Is worth while. "On the other hand, It Is difficult to ex press an opinion on tnc subject without knoulng a great deal more about It, and of the hundred and one matters which all have a bearing on It, than I do at present. Un questionably McAdoo knows a great deal more on the subject than the rest of us, and t lj up to hj;j., to do what Is best for the nuiwi CiU our uUh." .'

Juiciest to pay Whrre" Idle, and a -very large issue will of course bo harder t float and more likely Io affect the Government's credit "But vlie- fcerlous" q'uaitlon, the one that Is causing mo moro anxiety, (katj anything our enemies ian do, Is tho nppatcnt over looking of the fact that If this war Is to be carried to a successful end It cannot be done unlets the production of wealth and resources Is to go on. "Tho capital of tho country was com pletely occupied In production and now that wo Imperatively need moro production wo of course need moro capital In business. But the suggestion comes from Washington that any one who saved any adequate part of his earnings for this vital need Is to be fined. "This country can take caro of Germany at any time out of annual accumulations If business goes on : but If It Is stopped by an unwise prevention of new supplies for IndUKtries you must soon see the results. "I, therefore, favor bonds at, say, 4 per cent, which can be paid for years without difficulty from our annual gains, but do not favor Issuing them so fast as to cut down tho Industries that are to earn the Interest. "This 13 really the whole question, and ouj" syecpsp or failure depends solely not upon "resources we have, plenty but upon a little horse-sense, which I hope wo may not be short of." Three members of the Philadelphia Cham ber of Commerce leave for Washington to night to Join a meeting tomorrow of some 400 delegates from organizations along the Atlantic seaboard and on the. Great Lakes, called by Secretaries Rcdfleld and Wilson, of the Departments of Commerce nnd of Labor, respectively, In an effqrt to establish an equable basis for a thorough working understanding between shipowners and sea men that will entirely preclude any possi bility of strikes or di&obedlence by the lat ter during the courso of tho war on present ships or on the future Government mari time fleet. Walter P. Miller, of the Miller Paper Box Manufacturing Company, a director of the chamber, will head the party, which in cludes also O, IL Hagcrman, in charge of all the barges consigned to the Reading Railway at Port Richmond, and G. D. Van Sclver, division superintendent of the Mcrqhants and Miners. Transportation Com pany, operating coastwise vessels between this port and Boston, Jacksonville and Savannah. Tho labor Interests likewise will bo well repretcnted and It la believed that har monious relations will be brought out of tho present situation, which Is becoming more complex every day, there being about 36 per cetjt of the seamen alien enemies. The secretaries, In tbelr Joint letter, say that the war, conditions have created an abnormal situation at sea, seriously affect Ing the supply of seamen and the proper manning of vessels. Tho Chamber of Commerce Is authority for the statement that tho supply of eea men. Inclusive of deck, flro room and steward's departments, Is fairly adequate at present! the shortage being In the of ficers for deck and fire room. The ma jority of vessels carry "union" crews and it is impossible to And employment on these ships for native youths desiring to enter the merchant marine service, even though they have had some sea experience. The only positions available on these "union" boats for non-union or "green" candidates Is In the steward's department as mess-men or cabin boys. As tvbcCi auartera nd food on Ameri can vessels today are at a high standard, According to tho authoritative Information of the chamber, there Is no reason why a spirit of co-operation should not character ize the relations between master and crew, It aeems that an atltudo of hostility by the delegate's of the various unions encourages disobedience and disputes on.the part of the eamen as to what constitutes "necessary" work. The seamen of these unions, .however, it is nnlnteri out. recard Andrew Furuseth. au thor of the recent La yolletto seamen's act, as a leader, and would be Influenced by his advlca that their atltude Is uncalled for and especially regrettable at this momentous period. Furthermore, the chamber's informant says that It is possible that the require ments' of the various -navigation nnd engi neering emergency schools established un der the jurisdiction of the United mates Shipping Board that candidates possess a considerable period of sea experience la too .onerous. Many candidates, he con tlnues," haye h.ad experience as machln. shop men and machinists and a short pe riod "of-. tea service, and this would suffice in establishing 'a force nf engineers In tbe lower grades whoa fflclency would be greater than those without ship experience, but longer sea service. ARTILLERY HORSES DIE; POISONED BY BAD FEED Six Dead, Fifteen More 111, Due to Moldy Hay in Camp of Second Regiment Six horses are dead nnd fifteen more of the 200 horses of the Second Pennsylvania Field Artillery nt Camp Wannmaker, Jen klntown, nro 111. Rumors are rife among the residents of the neighborhood that the trouble Ih due to a "poison plot" by which home malicious person or persons pre sumably pra-Qcrmana smuggled arsenic Into the hay or oats given to the animals. Officers nnd stable sergeants In charge of the horses admit that the sickness and deaths were due to poison, but not arsenic or any Intentional poisoning. They say It was "forage poisoning" which develops from old hay containing mold. Lieutenant Lnlng, one of the regimental veterinarians, eald -it was lucky that the bad feed wns given to only a small pro portion of tho horses, as the disease some times kllb three-quarters of the animals contracting It, It Is always a danger, he said, to which army horses are subject, especially at this season of the year, when baled hay of tho last season's cutting often develops mold. Where the bad hay was bought could not be learned, as the Bupplles were fur nished by contractors who buy up their stocks from various sources. Th health of the men of the regiment Is excellent. With few exceptions, prl vates and officers are gaining in weight, some of them as much as eight or ten pounds in the sixteen days they have been in camp. The. first week wan generally ex hausting, and many men lost a few poundB, hut slnca they have become hardened to the strenuous life they have gained rapidly.

SCOTT rollcemen throughout the city are greatly concerned over the announcement that a threatened deficit In the pojlce legal emer gency fund must be averted not only by n voluntary contribution of twenty-live cents per man, but that donations mado to tho Police Pension Fund by citizens nlso will bo diverted to thli use. The fund Is ncccs ttary to defend policemen, since they In dividually, and not tho city, arc liable In actions for false arrest, etc. Tho policemen contend that tho fund Ik depleted because aomo policemen who were made defendant In civil and criminal pro ceedings drew upon this emergency fund to pay certain lawyers very large fees. This discontent wai aroused by the Is suance of an annual report by Samuel W. Iloop, treasurer of the Police Emer gency Fund. Tho report shows thnt the total receipts, for the fiscal year ending luiio 30 were $.1098 78 and the expendi tures up to that time amounted to I3963.-I0. According to a statement Itfued by" Super intendent Itoblnson on July 13, fcevcrnl legal claim were still unpaid. When the policemen received their pay on July IB they were requested tn make a vol untary contribution of twenty-flvo cents each They wero also offlclully Informed that a like contribution will be looked for In tho early fall In order to restore tho emergency fund to a sound basis. Tho policemen do not complain against contributing to the fund, which they deem a necessity and a protection But they do voice dissatisfaction against tho large fees paid to certain lawyers. A member of the fund hns the prlvllfgo of choosing tho at torney to represent him Criticism Is di rected, however, against tho payment of n fee of K00 for the defense of a policeman who shot and killed a youth who is alleged to havo broken Into 11 store and fled when the yatrolnmn attempted to nrrest him. The feo was paid In three Instalments, totaling $000. Now tho policemen want an explanation of the cxce3lo cost for the defense of a policeman who, they say, did only his duty. They contend that Harry Kcllx. counsel for the police department, could have looked nfter this policeman's Interests nt smaller cost than the fee paid to Congressman John P.. K. .Scott. Tho report shows that ex-As-sWtant District Attorney William A. Gray recehed 300 for representing tho four po licemen of tho filxth District who were sen tenced a week ago to nlno months in prison for attacking a Hallor who was a prisoner at that Matlon. Tho annual report displayed In police sta tions is being carefully scanned by tho pa trolmen. Most of the fees paid to attorneys, however, are considered within reason And tho policemen point out that those lawyers who have been paid only nominal fees Include prominent members of the bar. An effort will be mndo to Induce the officers of the fund to see that excesslvo fees arc not paid, and nlso to do all In their power to prevent tho transfer of any money from the police pension fund to the emergency fund.
