Comptroller "Williams Declares
Big Monoy Figures Mean Noth
ing Without More Production
URGE HELP FOR EUROPE
ly tlio Assoeiatcil Press
Washington, Feb. 12. Warning that
the prosperity and activity indicated by
banking figures may become artificial
nud deceptive was given today by John
Kkclton Williams in his annual report
as comptroller of the currency.,
Kemniltlng that in 1010 there was not
a national bank failure Involving loss
to depositors, and that the banking
power uf the country has inct eased 000
per cent in the last thirty years, Mr.
Williams said :
"A large volume of money cannot
menu increase of real wealth while there
is decrease of production and the ac
cumulation and movement of securities
and currency represent abnormally in
flated values put ou diminished supplies
of essentials.
"It is clear that no country can bi
enriched by merely increasing prices of
products produced aud conthuned by its
own people. We inlght prosper for the
moment if we could sell our products
abroad, nt the higher prices and take
payment in gold or in goods ot.nonnnl
prices, but we gain nothing when we
cell and buy at corresponding abnormal
prices."
All Ike gold In tlio world, aside from
S:U.'J.-i,000.000 held by this country was
estimated by the comntroller at .?(!,-
000.000.000 or only about -10 per cent
of the credit balance of this country in
the last six years, l'or that reason,
lie urged, (hat this country slibnld adopt
a policy of reasonable help and encour
agement townrd debtor ( ountries with
no assets immediately available, but
haying fair prospects of being able to
lay out if given time,
Praiso, for thp nnrt nlnved br the
'natioual banks in financing the world
luring a time ot stress was given un
itintedly by the comptroller. He ex
pressed hope that the consWvutive in
fluence of the banks would lead manu
facturers and business men to accept
for the present smaller profits with a
view to building up general prosperity
and the habit of thrift and economy
innong the masse-, of the people.
TRADED HIS GUN FOR GAS
Lieutenant Gave Up Automatic so
Ho Could Help Smashhh Germans
Washington. Peb. 12. If the ord
nance department's accounts show
(among other things) a deficit of one
army automatic pistol (which they do),
it is because Lieutenant Hillesley was
badly in need of gas to drive the Amer
ica r "heavy" tank into the dread)
dented llindcnbuig line in the summer
or 101S.
Lieutenant 'Hillesley begged the
chauffeur of an Australian commanding
general s bountifully upholstered limou
sine for the loan of his car for thirty
minutes the general being temporarily
absent. The chauffeur consented, after
pocketing the American's big ".""
automatic, and llilleslej returned with
the car full of brimming gasoline and
oil cans'.
The general was mad. but Hillesley
made his nick in the Ilindenbiirg line.
and no court-martial followed.

Thomas L. 1'lnnagan, contractor for
the district included between the north
house lino of Lehigh avenue and the
north house line of Poplar street and
between the Delaware river and the
east house line of Broad street, Bald :
"Chief Hepburn's statement is too
ridiculous to talk about. I went to sec
him personally, and I find tlmt in mak
ing his estimates he only figured tho
number of men on tho streets. .That's
like figuring only the men who get out
a ewspaper and not considering tne
price of machinery, the price of paper,
of transportation, lighting autl so ou.
Question of Ash Collection
"He didn't consider that we have
thirty to forty wngous on the streets
along with the men. He didn't figurp
that while we are cleaning the streets
we are hauling ashes, too. He figured
it would cost us $."21 u tiny to haul
ashes, when, as a matter of fact, it
costs more than $1000 a day. 1 sug
gested to him that he study up the
matter a bit. It's absurd for a man
who's been on the job only about three
weeks to talk the way he's been talk
ing. "Take the matter of dumps alone. It
used to be that we could get our dump
ing ground free. Now it costs 510,000
to ?ir,000 for Hie dumping grounds and
the owners arc holding them out ou us.
The dumps are getting further and
further away from the city, and the
mere hauling costs more than ever. '
James Irviu, contractor for the Mec
rnd district, comprising all that (iart
el the city between Market street and
lite C'nimtv Vru mi the KOllth and bC
tween the Schujlkill river and the
Cniintv line mi iho west, and including
Thirtieth street from Market to Spring
Garden street, said:
"I'd like to make a 100 per cent profit
just once in my life. I've never mane
that much. I'd consider myself a mil
lionaire if I made 25 per cent. Tills
snow is plaviug havoc with the, cost of
the business. Used to be we could load
five and six carts of ashes a day ; these
days we have to carry the ashes from
the side streets to the wagons, and we
load between two and three u day. In
some places we have four horses pulling
one car. That costs money."

"Whv, it's absurd for a man who

impression : it makes the city and its

sidered the tost of men used on the

liouee line of Ilroatl street and Hip west
bouse lino ot Kensington avenue nud

"I eucss wo could nitike a whole lot
more profit if our expenses were reduced,
as Chief Hepburn seems to think, to
merely the cost of hiring (ho lucor ot
men, He hasn't taken Into considera
tion out4 other nnd heavier expenses at
all, I've been at this business for ten
J ears now, nnd 1 got less today than I
had when I started. I sure would wel
come 10 per cent profit if it would only
come my way.."
Calls It "Absurd"
"Absurd," saldfleorge '. Murray, of
the contracting firm of Cunningham &
Murray. 1,'MS Arch street, which docs
cleaning in Hie Pirst district. "If what
is said is trun, hundreds of men would
come to this city and go into the con
tracting business, Hepburn Is hardly
warm on the job."
Prank Curran, contractor for tho dis
trict included between the north house
line of Lehigh itveuue and the county
line and between the west house line
of Kensington avenue, the Delaware
river, Frankford creek and the county
line, said ;
"ft was it verv foolish .statement for
the chief to make. I'd be willing enough
to e my business to uny one who
could make as much out of it ns they
say is being made out of it. I'd be
willing to rent it out to them if they
can do nn better with the business."
Chief Hepburn's charges, as mnde
public by (Jtorge Not McCain, through
tho 1-:vi:m.ii Prnt.tr' Ltnoi-n, sturtlcd
Citv Hall nnd politicians generally. In
high administration circles there was a
feeling that some approach was being
made to the rclatiou between street
cleaning and politics.
This feature of the situation was re
fened to by Chief Hepburn in his orig
inal statement, when he said :
"Street cleaning. I have discovered,
is, under the Philadelphia system, n
game of politics from start to finish.
Kvery man. from the contractor down
to the, laborer who cleans out a sewer
inlet, tries to have or has :i political
pull."

Indianapolis, Feb. 12. Ileversing the
position taken at thn organizatibn enu
tus at St. Louis and refusing longer to
leave "with confidence to tho Congress
the dlschirge'of this obligation," as the
Minneapolis convention put it, tne ex
ecutive committee or me American i.e.
gion has come out flntfootedly for "ad
justed compensation" for service men
in the late war, amounting io more iiiuu
Si.OOO.OOO.OOO.
This amocnt would be distributed on
(he basis of one 550 bond of n new
issue for every month of service.
The Legion wight have maintained its
confidence that Congress would even
(iinttv iln the riirht tliliin without the
submission to it of n concrete demand
It it had not been for the nction ot
tlin Democratic caucus of tho House and
certain Republican leaders in declaring
against universal military training,
which the Legion emphatically sup
ports. This action, following (he long delay
and alleged "side-stepping" in dcnling
with the soldiers land settlement Dins,
brought matters to a head, and at the
meeting here Tuesday afternoon the ex
ecutive committee having the day be
fore sent the Democratic caucus a futile
protest against a declaration against
universal training unanimously voted
to put the adjustment of compensa
tion, or bonus, us it was formerly called,
up to Concress in definite form. m

Is Four Child's
Home Life Happy?
The old-fashioned joys of childhood have suc
cumbed to modern living conditions. Dad's old
swimming hole is gone, along with many other
m healthy childhood pleasures, while new and ques
tionable forms of diversions for children have taken
their places. While their young minds are in a form
ative period while their characters are forming
do you give them the refining influences of music
in the home? What does your home mean to your
children? With a good phonograph, wouldn't it be
more attractive to them and to you?
H
and Fit Your
N
t
That is all you need to put any make of these
phonographs in your home. All of these machines
will play any disc record without extra attachments.
The tone volume can be easily modified, while they

pare them side by side at North's.
