5lvis DISAGREE
ON LOAM Li TESTi
Qaffney Believes Bill Will Not
Conflict With Charter Con
nolly Thinks Otherwise
ACTION SET FOR THURSDAY
Mayor Smith's advisers differ on the
effect the new city charter will have on
the $12,070,000 loan, if the loan meas
ure Is passed by Select Council Thurs
day. This became known after a private
conference held in the Mayor's office
today.
Joseph P. Onffney, chairman of the
Council's financial committee, raid after
the conference that the loan in no way
would be affected by the charter legis
lation. City Pollcitor Connelly disasrees with
Mr. Oaffney.
It Is contended that the loan is not
completed until nil of the bonds arc ac
tually sold, and if this is the case the
loan will cud in the courts, where n
decision will hnve to be given.
The danger tn the limn as now con
stituted, it is argued, lies in the fact

Attending the conference today, be
sides the Mayor, Oiaffncy and Connelly,
were Director of rublic Works Hates
man nnd Chief of tho Highway Durcau
Sunlap.
The session lasted one hour and fif
teen minutes. It was the first confer
ence attended by Mr. Connelly for some
time. He has just returned from Texas.
Robert Smith, chairman of Councils'
highway committee, who was called to
Mayor Smith's office later, said that the
loan bill would be passed on Thursday
and that the money will be available for
the purposes for which the loan pro
vides. Mayor Smith refused to discuss the
conference.
"What were you talking about!" 'he
was asked.
"About Texas," he smilingly replied,
referring to Mr. Connelly's visit there.
Despite the secrecy about the confer
ence, it became known that the various
bureau heads are extremel loath to let
any contracts with the expectation that
they will be paid for out of the new
loan.

B. a- ... . . .
rmenis wreeK school to Extent of
$1000 for Revenge
Aberdeen, Scotland, July 8. (Ry A.
P.) The parents of children attending
an elementary school here have shown
their resentment ngainst the action of
the authorities in cutting off the hair
of girl pupils by an attack on the
echool.
Armed with missiles a large crowd of
men, women and children, women pre
'dominating, gathered near the school,
it being understood that the doctor was
about to apply the scissors to other
pupils' hair. However, It was impos
sible to convince the crowd that the
doctor had left earlier in the. day,
whereupon the school windows were
Wrecked nnd damage amounting to
more than $1000 was caused. Forty
policemen were required to keep order
'in the crowd, which was estimated nt
35,000.
School authorities had cut the girls'

contended that such action should not
have been taken without their consent.

Mr. Clark, '87, is n member of, the

formerly associate director of the
buVrau of camp service of the Ameri
can Ited Cross,
In the early fall the campaign will
begin throughout the entire country,
but already the whole body of Har

the work. The fund will be devoted
to increasing the salaries of the

The meeting of the Republican city

. ., n ., .. .
ot tl"" Iwentletli ward
smashed a pre
cedent today. The veteran chieftain
has rarely missed an important meet
ing of the city committee, of which he
is president emeritus.
Stays at Shore '
Rut today he was absent. lie re
mained in Atlantic City where last week
he discussed the mayoralty campaign
from many angles with the Republican
leaders. Mr. Lane was represented nt
the meeting today by Joseph Marcus, a
clerk of Common Council, who is one
of his lieutenants.
Many of the Vnrc followers who came
to the meeting expected to hear some
hint dropped that would indicate the
Vare choice for Mayor.
Freeland and Patterson
The names most persistently mention
ed as possible candidates who will re
ceive the support of the Vhres nre those
of Judge John M. Patterson nnd Re
ceiver of Taxes W. Freeland Kendrick.
Mr. Kendrick has declared he might run
"if he had the time." Since that state
ment more emphasis has been placed on
Judge Patterson's name as the prospec
tive "regular" Republican standard
bearer.
Director of Supplies Joseph Mac
I.aughlin, the first candidate to come
out in the open for the city's highest
office, declares he is in the fight to stay.
Rumors nre current, however, that a
strong effort will be made to have him
accept n coiinciimanic nomination with
the prospect of election as president of
the Council.
As to Hampton Moore
Congressman J. Hampton Moore's
name continues to be linked with the
mayoralty nomination. It is understood
that the congressman will consent to
run on the one condition that he has
the support of all groups of Republic
ans. Political leaders look on har
mony as impossible, however.
Kxcejling in interest, even the first
meeting of the Republican city com
mittee, in political discussions here to
day was the possible personnel of the
reorganized board of registration com
missioners. Registration lioard
Forecasts of the new registration com
mission appear to revolve around six
names. The new board is to consist of
five members, one member more than
the board it supplants. The six men
mentioned for places as commissioners
are William Wnlsh and Ocorge S.
Pierie, present commissioners, who, it is
predicted, will be hold-overs; Joseph
Fabian and Allen Morgan, Democrats,
anil Clinton Rogers Woodruff nnd Vivian
Frank Gable, who have the indorsement
of the Penrose leaders.
The three committees representing
anti-Vnrc forces in the campaign met
yesterday afternoon nnd will hold an

Clubs' Action Wanted
It is hoped that varions clubs and
business organizations will Bend reprc-
day. The conferees yesterday were mem
bers of n citizens' committee, headed by
Thomas Raeburn White; a Republican
Alliance committee and a Town Meet
ing committee.
New candidacies for the city Council
are bobbing up almost hourly. William
.T. Kerns, secretary of the Hoard of
Virwers, lias been mentioned as a coun
cilmnnic candldnte from flic Fifth Sen
atorial district. Mr. Kerns denied this.
but let it be known that A. M. Wnl
Third Senatoiial district will be en
titled to one councilman. It was con
sidered likely thnt John R. K. Scott,
Vare floor leader In the House nt Har
rishurg, would be a candidate for Coun
cil from that district, but Senator Vnrc
spiked that report. He announced that
Scott would not run for the offire.
With Scott out of the reckoning, con
jecture today swung toward Select
Councilman Isaac D. Iletzell, of the
Eighteenth ward, as the logical can-
didatc in that district, who will have
the support of the Vares.
Select Councilman Ira J. Garman,
of the Forty-sixth ward, has thrown
his hat in.to a ring rapidly filling with
straws and derbies. He announced
today he will be a enndidate for Coun
cil from the fourth senatorial district,
which includes the Forty-sixth ward.
Mr. Garman, in support of his
candidacy, pointed to his twelve years
in public service, the first four as a
sectional school board member, the last
eight as a member of Select Council.
For two years he has been a member of
Councils' finance committee.
Lancaster Girl s Shot
Lancaster, July 8. Howard Lon
don, eighteen years old, a mountaineer,
was lodged In the county Jail yesterday
to mvtiit the result of wounds which he
is charged with having inflicted an Anna
Parker, eighteen, n mountain girl. She
was w.lth a party of companions when
London is said to have approached,
railed .her aside and then shot her, the
bullet passing close to the heart.

House Fight Due
on Dry Bill
ContlnnM From I'nco One
etends the prohibition beyond that of
the original act nnd to thnt extent is
new legislation which Congress has not
the right now to pass under the war
power. We believe the origiual act
should be repealed.
Ignores Concurrent Power
"Second. That as to the constitutional
prohibition Section 2 of the nmend
ment provides that 'the Congress and
the several states shall have concur
rent power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation,' nnd the bill
presented is wholly upon the theory
that the action nf Congress is supreme
nnd totally ignores the concurrent power
of the spveral states.
"Third. That the bill goes beyond the
prohibitionnl constitution amendment,
particularly iu defining 'intoxicating
jicpiors,' so ns to include beverages
that are not. in fact, intoxicating."
Congress began a new chapter when
it convened today after a week's re
cess. Having passed all of the appro
priation bills carrying funds needed for
the fiscal year, leaders planned to begin
work at an early date on the recon
struction legislation made necessary by
the change of the country from a war
to peace basis, while in the Senate the
next few months nt least arc expected
to be given over largely to discussion
of the Oermau peace treaty and re
lated subjects.
Await President's Appearance
The appearance before the Senate
Thursday of President Wilson to ex
plain the pence treaty and its league of
nations covenant nnd the Franco-American
agreement, in the opinion of sen
ators, eclipsed all other matters on the
Senate program for tho week.
In the House, activity this week will
center on committee work, with the ex
ception that legislation for enforcing
prohibition will be called up for
consideration on the floor. Investi
gation of War Department expendi
tures will be continued during the week
by subcommittees, while work on some
phases of merchant marine legislation
will be undertaken by subcommittees of
the merchant marino committee. The
interstate commerce committee plans to
complete its progrnm for hearings on
railroad legislation that are to begin
July 15.
BILL FOR FEDERAL
HOUSING BUREAU
Elimination of Slums Is Pro
posed by Rep. Tinkham
Washington. July 8. (Ry A. P.)
Representative iinKiiam, or .Massachu
setts, nnnounccd today he would in
troduce before Congress a bill crrating
in the Department of Labor a bureau
of housing and living conditions.
The bill would charge the proposed
bureau with investigating housing and
living conditions of the industrial pop
ulation of the country nnd provide for
research and experimentation tn make
economically practicable the elimina
tion of slums, the improvement of
living conditions, the reduction of the
construction cost of dwellings and ,thc
financing of extended home building
operations without federal appropria
tion. It would furthermore assist com
munities in making available all ex
isting housing facilities, nnd serve as
a clearing house of information on
housing and living conditions.
The secretary of labor would be em
powered to appoint a director of the
bureau at $0000 per annum, and all
archives of the I'nltcd States hous
ing corporation and the housing and
transportation division of the emer
gency fleet corporation not in active
lite would be trnnsfprred to the bureau.
Sir. Tinkham pointed out that tho
government as a result of its var
housing progrnm. in which It expended
approximately $iiij,uuu,(Hi(j to build
homes for industrial workers, has ac
cumulated n vast fund of information
and experience on industrial housing,
which should be made available to
every community.

Interstate Commissioner Be
lieves Better Results Obtain
able by U. S. Operation
TELLS OF ADVANTAGES
Dy the Associated Press
Washington, July 8. Rctter results
in transportation can be obtained by
maintaining and improving federal
operntlon than by returning "to old
methods in whatever guise," Joseph B.
Eastman, member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, declared today
In a communication to the Senate inter
state commerce committee. He was not
a member of the commission when the
commission's views on the railroad sit
uation were given the committee last
winter.
Mr. Eastman declared that federal
control of the roads should continue so
ns to Insure necessary capital at low
cost; to avoid unduly high rates; to
solve the problem of the "weak" roads;
to obtain the opcrntlng advantages
which come from unification nnd to pro
mote right relations with labor.
Criticism Not Fatal
"Summing up the situation," he said,
"there are grounds for criticism of
operntlon and policy since the begin
ning of federal control. Most of these
were products of the times in which we
have been living nnd could not have
been avoided. For some the rail
road administration may properly be
held responsible. Rut none of them
justifies the conclusion thnt national
operation is unsound or that it ought to
be nbundoncd."
Guaranty of dividends was opposed
by Mr. Eastman as a "mongrel nnd un
satisfactory arrangement" which would
Impair private initiative.
Freight Rates nnd Wages
"As for raising rates," the commis
sioner continued in discussing the need
of the roads for capital, "there never
was a time when conservatism was more
desirable. We have had ample reason
of late to fear the coming ofnn endless
chain of rising wages and prices. In
creases in freight rates huvc results
more far reaching than mnny realize,
affecting as they do the prices of both
the raw material and the finished piod
uct. The roads have recently been op
erating with earnings which would
drive ninny of them to bankruptcy If
they were iu private hands; but tho
director genernl has felt, and I think
wisely, that the depression may be the
temporary result of the uncertainty fol
lowing the cessation of hostilities nnd
that the country can better afford, for
a "time at least, .to carry tho burden of
insufficient revenues througli taxation,
as a part of the war cost, than to suf
fer further advances in rates whose ul
timate effects no man can foretell.
"Coming to the labor problem, the
fact that further raising of rates could
more easily be avoided under notional
operation would iu Itself make the labor
situation less difficult, for ndvnnces iu
rates and wages are npt to go hand in
hand. Rut I also believe that the gov
ernment can deal with the problem with
n stronger and surer hand thnn private
operators, and, under present conditions,
more easily secure co-operation."
Mr. Eastman said tho railroad ad
ministration in the midst of great dif
ficulties had relieved congestion and
bundled troops and war freight "with
credit tn itself."
GIRL KILLS LAWYER
Walts In His Office and Shoots Man
She Alleges Betrayed Her
Chicago, July S. Seventeen-year-old
Margaret Seithamler was waiting for
Attorney Benjamin Burr yesterday
when he returned to his office nt 100
North I.aSallc street. Her half sister.
Marie Larson, divorced wife of George
Hermes, was with her.
"Well, what nbout it?" asked Miss
Seithamler.
Burr smiled Indifferently, and before
he could speak the girl drew n revolver
and opened fire. Two bullets hit the
lawyer, one in the neck, and one in the
back above the hips.
"For Cod's sake, stop shooting, Mar
garet," he murmured, as liu sank to
the floor.
She continued firing until the six
chambers in the revolver had been
emptied. The three were alone in the
office.
"I wish 'there had been more bullets,"
she said, calmly. "He's still alive. I
meant to kill him." i
She nnd the half-sister were arrested
and while in the police statiou word
came that Burr had died.
Subsequently ,the girl told n long
story of alleged betrayal by Burr while1
he was obtaining a divorce for her
mother two years ago.

sj!s o. s. cousin
Samuel Edleman, Who Served
In Turkey and Switzerland,
Says Year Made Difference
OFFICIAL VISITING HERE
Maintaining that the psychological
'difference in France bclwecn last year
nnd this Is as the difference between
the darkness of the Middle Ages and
the dawn of the tw6ntieth century,
Samuel Edleman, eprtcinl consul in
Turkey nnd later in Switzerland, has
returned to Philadelphia, optimistic of
,the future abroad.
He is visiting his mother, Mrs. Boss
Edleman, nnd sister, Bcba, nt 6116
Locust street. His wife and fourteen.
month-old daughter, Bcba, who was'
Dorn in ueneva, remain in London.
Although reticent on the special mis
sions with which he wns intrusted while
abroad, Mr. Edleman, who was in Tur
key in 1014 when the war started, says
the United States was fully alive to
what was going on, and knew a great
deal more about the world situation
than the government let the nation at
large know.
He was tho lone civilian on the trans-'
port Finland which docked nt Boston
Sunday.
"Geneva went wild when it learned
it had been chosen as the seat of the
league of nations," he said. "It is,
without a doubt, the proper place for
that body. People in Europe regard
President Wilsbn as the outstanding fig
ure in the crucial developments of the
war, and his efforts in bringing the
league to pass have won tbelr admira
tion. "I was asked by the President, by
telegram, to deliver an address in French
nt Annecy, France, on the occasion of
the renaming of a boulevard after Mr.
Wilson. The spirit of victory nnd of
gratitude for it was apparent, but un
fortunately the French have begun to
spend their money nnd are doing little
with the problems of reconstruction;
only wnltlng developments.
"Here you may think the cost of liv
ing is high, but you ought to compare It
with the wartime situation In Switzer
lnnd, for instance. A quarter-pound
of bread n day, a half-pound of butter
a month, hot wntcr to bnthe once a
week, $1 for n linen collar these are
items In the high cost of living there, f
"Xow thnt the war .is over and peace
is signed, these countries hardest hit
by the war believe and expert they will
get raw materials, loans of capital, and
in general a helping hand from us to
put them hack on their feet. They look
to America for much thnt no other na
tion enn give."
Mr. Edleman, wlio graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania in 1006,
has been ten years in the consular
service. He speaks English, French,
Gorman nnd Turkish. After a two-day
stay here he expects to go to Washing
ton to confer over his future work and"
to make reports on his findings. He says
he hopes to return to Europe soon.
