Yesterday the committee took testi mony in Ualtlmore. They have heard testimony also In New York, nnd their Itinerary will be with them nil over the I'nlted States. Mayor TclU of Needs Mayor Moore spoke of Philadelphia as a "city of homes," In Introducing Sena tqr Calder. "The majority of our two-story houses," he said, "are owned by tho necininntN. Wo have, not n sufficient 1 number of them, however, to meet the needs of nil those who wish separate homes. "The multiple house hns been "sug gested as a relief, but there Is some question aa to whether this would be a satisfactory answer." The Mayor declared the fact that this country is the only one still technically nt war. He said the nation was "ham strung" because of restrictions on trans portation. He pointed out that it had been necessary for the city to use much influence to get mils from the Bethle hem Steel Co. for the Frnukford ele vated. Discuss CoiU Shortage William II, Johnson, vice president of the Philadelphia Electric Co.. told the committee of the city's al needs, especially in regard to coal Tor electric power.

"I asked an hnglish- inuti how his country managed to get n supply of American coal, and lie re plied it was by paying $21 n ton at the mines for it."

Senator Calder, in a survey of the situation throughout the United States, said that "the housing situation throughout the country is n more serious problem today than ever before in the uation'c history. "It may not be grent exngcration to say that the total amount of money necessary to rehabilitate the depleted national plaut at present cost will ap proach in maguitudc a sum equivalent to our entire nntional debt." Must Do Deferred Work He pointed out thnt during the war necessary construction work was de ferred, so that the needs of the war might be met He snid that the conn try must catch up with construction to give adequate earning power to the nation. "Defened construction," he said, "is in fnc,t n part of our war debt, and It must be paid before the war debt can be paid." He said that various ideas iiad been offered to inciense production. Dur ing the war, he said, it had been neces sary to appropriate $100,000,000 to build for wur workers. "Industrial expansion and immigra tion will require housing developments on a very much greater scale in the near future; so great, Indeed, that it will be j ond the power of the gov iniment either to finance or administer such housing work," ho ndded. "Pri vute initiative must be called upon as in times past to settle such a prob lem." Senator Calder said the first prob lem to be solved wns one of transpor tation. At the outset" of its work, he said, the committee turned itrf atten tion to this problem. .He said the In teistnte Commerce Commission had le luiised (JTi.OOO cars after a conference between the commission and the com mittee, tiud had made stringent regula tions to prevent recnnsignment of curs.

Charles Ponzl, dis credited prophet of a high finance which Instead of largo profits hns turned Into considerable losses the Investments of thousands of persons running Into mil lions of dollars, again wns the object of the attention of crowds today. In a brief respite from the Bast Cam bridge jail, where be has been n pris oner since he surrenderrd himself a week ago, be was taken before a federal commissioner here for a hearing on the charges that he used the mails In pur suit of n scheme to defraud. The crowds which hnd fallen In behind tho man when they thought he wns making millions for them in the heyday of his scheme were again out to sec him In his fall, ninny of them Investors In his sup posed international postal exchange business. Partner Subpenoed In the throng which tilled the court room to the limit of its seating nnd standing space vos John S. Dondero, described ns partner of Ponzi In his Securities Exchnngc Co. in papers filed at City Hall, nnd named with him ns n joint defendant in u bankruptcy pro ceeding brought by ci editors several days ago. Dondero lias been sought for several days, and service of the snb peun in the case was not made on him until today. Scanning tlje crowd as he entered the courtroom, Ponl hnd noticed Dondero nnd bowed ; to several others ho nodded genially, but his face soon resumed n set appearance which was in contract with the care-free smile of his prosper ous days. Instead of the white flannels and the cane which had made his figure familiar, Poni wore dark clothing nnd carried no stick, although there was n suggestion of his old-time dapper dress in a silk handkerchief protruding from a pocket, Ponl Feeling "Good" He was a bit paler than before, but whon n friend inquired how he wns feeling he replied, "Pretty good," nnd when asked about his treatment nt the Jail, said he had "no kicks."

Attorney General Allen announced todny that $15,000 of the funds of tho Old Coloney Foreign Exchnngc Co. had been located In a bank in New York nnd that this brought the totul of the com pany's fund accounted for to $1CO,000. He estimated that this represented 00 per cent of the- amount received by the company from investors. A run on the First State Bank, n pri vate institution in the North End, doing business principally with mem bers of the Italian colony, was continued today. President Nutilc said he could produce three times as much money as was necessary to pay off the $1,000,000 of deposits.
