GAFFNEY SEES
COMPROMISE
CITY LOAN ROW
Administration Believed Weak
ening Action on Amended Bill
Next Thursday Indicated
PARTISAN ENJV1ITY BLAMED
FOR DEFEAT OF MEASURE
Builders Declare They Will Re
new Fight for Funds Vare
Assails Independents
Administration and independent lead
ers in Common Council are likely to
compromise on the 514,750,000 loan
bill, according to Joseph P. Gaffney.
chairman of Councils' finance committee
and Vare leader in tho lower chamber.
The loan bill was defeated late yes
terday when it came to a vote in Com
mon Council. The administration re
fused to accept an amendment offered
by the independents, paring down the
amount provided in the loan, and when
the original measure was brought to a
vote the Vare forces were unable to
muster the two-thirds majority needed
to pass it.
The consensus of opinion in political
circles this afternoon was that the ad
ministration is weakening and that n
compromise, on the basis of an amended
bill, would be effected immediately.
If this is done the bill will be brought
up again for action next Thursday
Chairman Gaffney said that the op
position to the loan as it was offered to
Councils was ascribed to the factional
ism and partisan enmity of a man whom
he did not name ejtcept as representing
a small ward which needs no Im
"provements" the individual presuma
bly being'Harry Tralnor.
This "enmity," according to Mr.
" Gaffney,'waa. blindly followed by other
members of Common Council! ' The
Vare leader argued that the Inde
pendents 'could find no fault with the
item of the loan in 'themselves, as the
amendment offered did not change the
items, bui merely-reduced the amounts.
The argument of the Independents
that the money called for could not be
jipent, according to Mr. Gaffney, was
shown not to be a logical one because
their amendment did not cut the large
item for ,tae Water Bureau.
' Talks of Decreases
Mr: Gaffney suggested that if the
independents were willing to restore the
' full items for such Improcments as are
needed to permit the building of the
houses the city needs, the administra-
i tlon forces would be willing to scale
down other items, and that the $.,00,000
provided for the municipal court on the
Parkway would be dropped.
It is believed that tho agreement sug
gested by Chairman Gaffney would have
. to be reached by a series of compro
mises. Both factions of Common Coun
cil are expected to agree to this, .be
cause the leaders of both parties have
been seeking some means of dodging the
the responsibility of defeating the
loan items which are part of the city's
housing program.
John N. McGarvey, prominent buider
and chairman of the executive com
ufittco of tho Philadelphia Operative
Builders' Association, said today that
his committee would prepare and issue
a statement concerning the defeat of
the loan.
"Wo intend to take action," said
Mr. McGarvey. "Wo aro not con
cerned whoso political ox is gored. We
feel that Philadelphia has been made
the victim of a fnctional fight. It is
plain that, tho city has been denied the
improvements Jt needs."
Vare Issues Statement
Senator Vare issued a statement in
which ho said that the defeat of the
loan put Philadelphia tenants ft the
mercy of the landlords. The senator
severely assailed the independents for
blocking tho improvements, wmen, ho
declared, were essential for relief from
the shortage of housing facilities.
Mr. McGarvey conferred today with
Daniel Crawford, Jr., president of the
builders' organization, concerning the
proper action to take.
, Another important item in tho loan
-bill is In allotment, of $3,000,000 for
the extension of" the water system. Ell-

minds ' of 'the American people, par
ticularly" the working classes.

He Has Been
N'ormnii I. Hill, reported missing
inre shortly after noon Wednesday,
walked into his home at '10r2 Haver
ford nvenuc nt 2:30 o'clock this after
noon covered with cuts and bruises.
I He was completely exhausted, nnd

been or what had happened to him.
Mr. Hill mysteriously disappeared
two tays ago, an hour before he was to
have made final payment ou n home in
West Philadelphia, where he was to
have taken his bride after their mar
riage planned for tomorrow. His
fiancee is Miss Margaret Wilson, 3003
Fairmount avenue.
Mr. Hill, who i twenty-Aye years
old, carried a wallet containing be
tween S00 nnd $1000 nt tho time of
his disappearance. He wns recently
honorably discharged from the army.
Friends of the joung men, who bears

At 11 :30 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, C. Percy Ko, a real estate dealer,

employment. According to Mr. Fox, the
joung man had nlread.i made an initial

Director General of Railroads
Believes Increased Business
Will Offset Shortage
SEES BRIGHT OUTLOOK
High Lights in Speech
of Railroad Chief
Sees no immediate rise in railroad
rates.
Advocates reorganization of roads
into n few competitive easterns.
Relieves thnt receipts from in
creased business will offset present
deficit.
Regards general outlook as blight.
An immediate increase in railroad
rates is not favored by Walker. D.
Hines, director general of tho United
States railroad administration.
Mr. Hines, who was the speaker nt
the June luncheon of the Chamber of
Commerce in the Bellevue-Strntford,
told the gathering of business men that
he expected a large part of the deficit
incurred in government operation of
railroads would be wiped out in the
future by increased business.
He declared it his opinion that the
government should be cautious about
increasing rates, and while carrying the
deficit carefully study how much of
it can be reduced by Increased business.
The director geneint said he favored
merging all the railroad systems iu the
country into a few big competitive sys
tems. A premature increaso in rates, the
speaker declared, might "start an un
necessary cycle of further increase in
the cost of living"."
Explains Deficit , '
The director genernl explained the
present deficit ns due to a 48 per cent
increase in expenses, including higher
wages for railroad' employes, against a
25 per cent increaso in railroad rates
nnd bad business conditions during last
year.
Ho ndded thafhe did not think "thnt
a condition hns ever existed before In
this country where tho shipping public
has voluntarily asked that rates be in
creased." Mr. Hines was'mct at tho West
Philadelphia statiqi by a delegation of
prominent members of the Chamber of
Commerce und was escorted to the
Rellevoe-Stratford. He received an
oration when ho arose to speak.
His remarks were as follows:
"I want to tell you that tho two out
standing featurbs of myliolicy in carry

luncheon, he told his fiancee that he was
to, make final payment on their future
home and the couple planned to take
some of their belongings to the new
houss that evening.
When they finished their meal, Mr
Hill paid the chek with a bill he took
from the wallet containing a large sum
of money. His fianceo asked him why
he carried so much money with him, and
he said that he needed it to make pny
ment on trie house and to purchase fur
niture for their home.
Thought Desist- Wanted Casli
Miss Wilson asked him why he did
not make the payment by check, and
he nnswerjd that he supposed the real
estate dialer would rather have the
money in cash. It is not known where
Mr. Hill kept his bank account or for
how long a time he had carried the
money with him.

Out of conflicting news from Ger
many one fact heems assured:
Tho treaty will be signed. .?.
The Weimar National Assembly air

sembly failed to get a majority to
favor signing, a later messaee
says. Delay has been asked, says s$M

Despite positive statements from
Weimar and other sources that die
Scheidemann cabinet has resigned;
an official German wireless mes

are premature.

An Exchange Telegraph from Copen
hagen, quoting advices from Weimar,
says "the siguing of the peace treaty by
Germany is us certain as if the signa1
tuics had already been put to the docu

mar accepted the peace treaty, it has.
passed upon it a day earlier than ud
Aiccs from Germany indicated. They
said the assembly was expected ti
make its linal decision tomorrow.
