Jan. li. An appeal 'to the bankers of the country not to raise interest rate, on denosits in a scramble for out-of-town balances was made today by Governor Harding, of the Fed eral Reserve Hoard, in opening a con ference of representatives of clearing house associations from all parts of the country. Governor Harding served warning that the Federal Hcservc Board did not recognize auy rotation between the re discount rates of Federal bthserve banks and the interest- rates paid by mem ber banks of deposit and gave notice that the board wou'd be free to raise or lower its rediscount rates whenever the industrial or tomniercial situation might require such action. About lift In likens were present. After Governor Harding had completed his ri marks the went into executive essjon to consider the question of in terest rates. Governor Harding predicted that a further increase over the present redis count rate of 43i per cent nt the Fed eral Keserve Bank of New York wou'd he necessar. but he protested against "a scramble for deposits." "We do not see why a raise in redis count rates should bring about such a scramble," he said. "The Federal Re serve IJ.ink rate increases are only temporal-, whereas relations of the bank ers with their customers are supposed to be permanent. 'No customer liouhl be led to look upon deposits us an investment, and the banks should not look upon deposits Other than as a liability." Competition b.v -baukers with the in vestment market was not conducive to sound banking, Governor Harding said. "While we have turned our backs mi the perird of war financing," he continued, "v.e cannot expect in the immediate future a condition such as was considered iionnal under pre-war stundaids. We will reach normal oul.v when the obligations of the government are greatly reduced and the remainder absorbed by the investing public. "Punssential loans should be dis couraged. Federal Reserve banks must 'io kept in condition to meet industrial and commercial demands and nady to provide for any emergenc. In ordinary times a raise iu rediscount rates Is the natural corrective of undue expansion, but now we cannot add to our gold holdings by raising rates, nor must we do aiithiug to discourage production."

Another favorite act of the oung man's is said to have been to notice a picture of the "lady of the house" on the wull and to cr out that it looked just like his own dear mother, now dead. He generally got the money, say tun ponce. The pastime that llnallr led to his capture was going to people and telling them that he had won a silver service set at the recent bazaar given by St. Luke's Hospital and selling them the coupon on it for ?1..T. It was testi fied that he occasionally varied this with lelliii" different people that they had won the silver service set, but that for sity cents he would have it exchanged for an overcoat or some piece of cloth ing.

Outside, there was nobody; not even the customary George Bens'., bodyguard to "His Honor." On the lawn, how cvr, lay two scarcely official bobsleds. "Is the Mayor in?" "Mister Smith is," answered a negro doortendcr. "Step inside of the hall, please I" From the second floor of the com fortable mansion came Informal strains of: "Smile the while ou bid me sad adieu " Whistled, the words were, not sung, with a kind of happy lilt that belied 'he regret of "Till we meet again'' and sounded a compromise, between the emotional theme of "Good-by, forever! Good-by, forever!" and that of "Oh, let us be joyful." At ICasc in House Coat The whistled melody came iu snatches. till suddenly, in the former Ma.vor's easily remembered voice, came the question : "Where's my housc'coatV Did Uufus leave it downstairs in the closet?"

He arrived at City Hall shortly after fl o'clock. He was one of the first per sons attached to his department to reach that edifice. One of his first tasks was to begiu the work of swearing iu Ills official family. John C.

Lincoln Furbusli. new director of public health, was tlie next official to receive the oath. Dr. Nonnau H. Talor, assistant director, followed.

When Mayor Moore was secretary to Mavor Ashbridge Mr. Seeds was chief clerk in the Maor's ofiice. Director Kurbush asked him to, stay and lie ac cepted.

George Beuz, bod guard to Mayor Smith, has lost his job. He has been ordered to report back to the detective bureau for work, Mr. Moore announced. Mr. Moore said he would take his time in naming the nw bodygiiird, as it is a position of trust and rupiires caiu f ill selection. Iu the meantime, Philadelphi.ius will he treated to the rather iuiu-iihI sight of a chief magistrate moving about without the custonur body guard.

Important appointment niiuouuce menta are expected from a number of the new heads nelore tlie close ot tnci da.v, but interest generally centers upon I the action of cit Council nt the Intel afternoon session to take up rules. Por, the time at least the thirty-live clerks' aud employes of the old bodies will be retained. At the opening of business toda.v the Major's office staff included Durcll Sinister, his private secretar ; Miss Mae E. Henry, his confidential stenog rapher, and Walker Basill Webb, mes renger. The latter expects to leave the city service next mouth.

Question of Tongue in Which Belgian Poot Will Lecture Here Raises Controversy ENGAGEMENTS CANCEL ED Just how many Philadelphians would be willing to hear the great Maurice Maeterlinck. Belgian poet, dramatist and philosopher, if he lectures in the Trench tongue, is the question which is puzzling the Bryn Mnwr College endow ment fund committee, under whose auspices he is scheduled to speak at the Academy of Music on January 12. The controversy which has been waged in New York city as n result of the fiasco of M. Maeterlinck's attempt to deliver a lecture in "phonetic" Hng 'ish. is likely to be transferred to this city, nccoiding to New York dispatches aud the statement of the committee here. .1. B. Pond, M. Maeterlinck's lecture manager, and Henry Russell, bis per sonal friend aud representative, arc the centers of the storm. Relations be tween the Belgian poet aud his man ager are said, by members of the com mittee, to be strained to the breaking point. In fact, when reached on the loug-distance phone last night, Mr. Pond told the endowment fund com mittee that he had -been refused all interviews with M. Maeterlinck, who would not even speak to him. Canceled .Many Engagements Mr. I'ond declared, "I've done noth ing but cancel engagements todav. Phila deliJiia has refused to have him speak there if he speaks iu French or with an interpreter. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Ann Arbor, Mich., have all can celed their dates. Iu Brooklyn and Manhattan, the people are demanding their money back." "A trine strong." was the wnv the statement that Philadelphia had re fused to have him speak, was charac terized at the college today, but the committee ttuder whose auspices he is to speak udmittcd that they were iu a quandary. "We could have filled the Academy if M. Maeterlinck had delivered his lecture in Hnglish," they asserted, "but if he is going to speak in French, eveu with an interpreter, we will have to find a small ha'!, as there are not so very many Philadrlphians who would go to a lecture in c foreign language." Ticket Sale Held Up As ii result, the ticket sale is being held up and the committee is making vigorous efforts to get to the dis tinguished visitor's car. A representa tive has been sent over to try to reach some satisfactory agreement ou the subject of the lecture. Meanwhile the lecture tour on which the Belgian poet was to deliver his thoughts in "New Intimations of Tin. mortality" is hanging iu the balance. M. .Maeterlinck, in a signed statement, has said that all future addresses will be given in Vrench, because of the laughable failure of his phonetic lec ture in New York city. He is being con curred with in this by his representa tive, Mr. Russell. On the other baud. Mr. Pond insists that his contracts with the author of the "Blue Bird" call for lectures in Knglish, that the tickets are sold ou that basis, and that of M. Maeterlinck does not use the language with which American uu diences arc familiar, it will be a "pretty big imposition on them," BRITISH EDITOR AND FINANCE EXPERT HERE Sir George Paish Addresses Bankers Tonight To Study Economic Relations Here Sir George PaUh. editor of the Lon don Statist and liritlsh (iuuin-ial ex pert, will address Croup 1 of the Pennsylvania Hankers' Association here tonight iu' the Hellevue-Stratford He will ripeuk iu the iuterrl of the tight and famine council aud tin Vieuua emergency relief fund, in whose behalf he ban come to the United Stutes.

Let the voters of tho state pass on amendments to tho federal constitution, was the pro posal submitted to the committee on constitutional revision and amendment this afternoon by former Judge James II. Reed, of Pittsburgh. If such a section had been Incor porated in the present constitution it would have been necessary for the Penn sylvania Legislature to have submitted the national prohibition and woman suffrage amendments to a referendum of the voters. Judge Recti's resolution recommending the change in the consti tution for the adoption ot federal amendments was referred to committee without debate. "Such a sectiou in the constitution would not decrease the powers of the Legislature," Judge Reed explained after the commission had recessed. "It would merely provide for submitting federal amendments to the people so as to permit them to express their will.
