BANKERS CONSIDER
REDISCOUNT RATES
Scramble for Out-of-Town Bal
ances Condemned by Head of
Federal Reserve System
Washinston. 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."

According to testimony before Mag

The only catch Is that Detectives
Graham anil Ueces, of the Hranchtown
station, who arrested the joiiiij; man
last night, insist on calling the hard

Witnesses testified that Swan called
at their homes with n picture of his
crippled sister and collected money on
some stall or other. At other times lie

told of his hard times iu the war. they
saj. 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. Tim wires at Kt. Luke's have been
ringing with inquiries for siher service
and haberdasher .
Magistrate Trice held the inventive
omiB man under $400 bail for court,
refusing his plea that he be released to

said. "Under the circumstances it did
not seem justifiable to spend $2o,000
for a survey. The new revenue given
us b. the Legislature, amounting to
$1,700 000, is largely absorbed by
higher salaries. Other costs of con
ducting the schools have gone up also,
and even with our greater revenue it
dues not seem good policy to spend
the sum necessary for a survey. If

Mr. Wolf would not discuss his ac

"Mr. Savage is elected and T bid ou

Reticent on Future Plans
The sun shone brightly this morning
and unofficially on the mansion of
former Mnvor Smith, on Monroe ave
nue, Glenside, Pa.
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,

From the second floor of the com
fortable mansion came Informal
strains of:
"Smile the while ou bid me sad

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,

MOORE GIVES OATH
TO SEVERAL AIDES
New Mayor Swears in Directors
and Assistants as First
Official Act
CATTELL IS RETAINED
Ma or Moore began his first full day
in office by working.
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. Wiustou, director of
the Department of Public Works, was
the first official sworn iu by the new
chief magistrate. Jeseph Wagner, as
sistant diieetor. was next.
A. Lincoln Furbusli. new director
of public health, was tlie next official
to receive the oath. Dr. Nonnau H.
Talor, assistant director, followed.
Iu rapid succession after that came
Clinton lingers Woodruff, civil serv
ice commissioner, and George S. Web
ster, chief of the bureau of surves.
Mr. Webster retired as diieetor of
wharves, ducks and ferries .vesteiday.
Mr. Moore today announced the re
tention of V. J. Cattell, the city statis
tician. George Seeds, chief clerk of the De
partment of Health, also will be retain
ed iu office. He has held that post dur
ing the administration of five mayors.
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. Chauffeur Keeps Job
One of the first announcements, made
toilav by Ma.vor Moore was that Joseph
i. .viuiiin wouin ne reiaineu as tlie
Mayor's chauffeur. Mullen acted as
chauffeur for Mayor Blankcnburg 'and
for Ma.vor Smith, with the exception
of a two-year period during which
he served in the arm. . lie saw service
in France.
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. Corlelyou Greeted
While crowds of fiiends of the Major
wcic calling at his office on the i-ccoud
floor, similar scenes were b"iug en
acted throughout the building. James
T. CorteIou, director of pubic safet.v.
was early ou the job and was greeted
by his uuderofficials with problems af
ficting the department.
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. Miss Cora
Duffey, who served as former Mayor

as she brushed by on a matter of busi

He did not see the visitor at first,
but looked into the closet for his house

In a kindly fashion. "Take a comfort

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,"

ONSTATE LAWS
Pittsburgh Judge Would Havo
Citizens Decide Amendments
to Constitution
FOR TWO-TERM GOVERNORS
tin a Staff Correspondent
Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 0. 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.
It would have given the people the
right to express their opinion on suf
frage and prohibition,"
Another attempt may be made to
have the commission sponsor a pro
posal to permit re-election of gover
nors. Karly in its deliberations the com
mission vetoed a proposal to recommend
the amendment of the pveseut section
of the constitution which prevents a
governor from succeeding himself.
Two Terms for Governor
George E, Alter, of Allegheny, for
mer Speaker of the House, is said to be
strongly in favor of the plan. When
the project was broached before, former
Judge James G. Gordon, of Philadel
phia, led in opposing it.
One of the biggest proposals that
will be brought before the commission
will be a suggestion to have it recom
mend that the state purchase all lands
within its confines which arc nonarablc
and suitable only for the growth of
timber for the purpose of reforestation
The present administration is to
strongly favor this project which has
the indorsement of Gilford Pinchot,
member of the forestry commission, and
others interested iu reforestation in the
state. A suggestion may be made to
bring about the purchase of Mich lands
through a bond issue.
New Members Sworn In
When the commission on constitu
tional revision and amendment resumed
its sitting at noon its first official act was
to swear in Vance C. MtCermick. of
Harrisburg, and John A. Voll, of Phil
adelphia. The oath of office was ad
ministered by C.vrus E. Woods, secre
tary of the commonwealth.
McCarmiek succeeds Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer, resigned, and
Voll. a labor leader, succeeds William
B. Wilson, secretary of labor, who aso
resigned us a member of the commis
sion. The committee us a whole will meet
tomorrow.
It was decided to meet during Jan
uary every Tuesday, Wednesday aud
Thursday, the Tuesday sessions to be
gin at noou.
FAIR PRICES DISCUSSED
Civic Club Committee to Advise on
Legitimate Profits
The effect of the crforts of the
women's fair price committee in main
taining prices at a consistent level was
discussed at a meeting todav of the
food committee of the Civic Club.
Miss Jessica Donnelly, of the women's,
fair price committee, in an address,
poiuted out that the committee did not
purpose to reduce prices, but to keep
the public advised as to what were fair
priees to pay. She advised the workers
of the committee in the various wards
to hold themselves in readiness to do
what they were asked in the campaign
against profiteering.
"What were legitimate priees during
the war are not legitimate now," bhe
said, "and we arc going to do every
thing in our power to sec that the pub
lic gets a fair deal."

operate in the prosecution of the nl
leged radicals taken in the round-up by

to be served on "reds" in this city and
the vicinity, Todd Daniel, chief agent of
the bureau of investigation of the De
partment of Justice here, made known
today.
Additional warrants will be sworn

working of the Communist partv is

Department of Justice men are
searching the homes of radicals ar
rested iu order to obtain further evi
dence against the orgauizatiou of the
"Reds."
"I have about half a dozen men
out," said Mr. Daniel today, "and they
are devoting their entire time searching
the homes. We hope we mny learn in
this way some information regarding
tiie perpetrators of the bomb outrages
of December a year ago aud of last
May."
Samuel SkiarofT, former secretary of
the Socialist party, who is considered
to be one of the most important anests
made in the general raid, will have a
hearing before the immigration inspect
ors ou Friday.
To date, forty-two alleged "reds"
.have been heard by the inspectors in the
federal jiiuiding. Up to last niglit
