Controller Hartley's non -insertion of
1 redemption clause In the recent loan.
Mr. Grttenbcrg add yesterday, was
worthy 'of an Investigation by the Dis
trict Attorney's office. In discussing
the matter further today, Mic Itcscarch
Bureau head said :
"It goes without saying that the
Bureau of Municipal Research is not
now and never hns been interested in
personalities. It would be extremely
rejrettablc if a highly important pub
lic problem was to be lost sight of in
1 maze of charges and counter-rlinrges.
"Tbc fact of the matter is that the
Bureau of Municipal Hescnrch is In
terested iu presenting fncts only on
flfhlch the citizens of I'hllndelphia may
base their conclusions. It Is for that
rnion that the facts relating to the
$5,000,000 bond issue were presented.
"It Is significant, of course, that
there has been no attempt made cither
to' refute the facts so presented or to
testify the policy of ignoring the or
llmry buMncss practice of providing
for a cnllnblo loan.
"It Is important that this problem
hould bo Ftudicil for the reason that
lie city's financial welfare is closely
elated to it. How can there be, cspc-
taiif 111 mi inline, uny drop 111 me

streets.
"On the question presented thc-e men
stood on the side of decency and moral
Itj. As to the fuimlnntlons and per
sonal attacks of an irate Councilman
on the other side, the Mayor expressed
a deep sense of sorrow and regret.
"That n member who proclaims him
self a 'business man,' ns well as a leg
islator, should lead the attack, how
ever, may not pass unnoticed, becm.se
It is always important in n civie con

the statement of the gentleman whose

Hughes to Head Delegation
The American rcprcscntathos have
been selected, it is understood, by Pres
ident Harding. It Is conceded that Mr.
Hughes, the Secretary f Stute. will
head the delegation. Senator Lodge,

the conlercncc. it would be Hard to
pass him over, if any member of thn
Senate is on the commission, and so it
may be assumed that lie will be

member
If the HouMican Senate leader will
be a moiniKi'. so will the Democratic
leader, Mr. Fnderwood, of AInbama.
I Mr. Hauling will be dependent upon
Democratic votes to put tnrougu any
t,.patv which may arise from the Con
! ferencc. As he has admitted that an
nssociatiou of nations miht spring from
It. it would be good politics to place
the Democratic Senate leader In the
commission.
It may be assumed that the namci of
these American delegates are as good
as known : Secretary Hughes, Senator
Lodge and senator I nderwood. Ar-
would iloubtli be highly ngreeublc to
Secietarj Hughes, with whom he has
co-operated lullj . If Mr. Hoover Is

Harding is known to be desirous of
' using the services of Mr. Knot in ill
ierniitini.nl affairs. If two Democrat
nre appointed, the second one may be
Norman Davis, fo.mcrly t'ndcr Sccre-
