Phillip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, declined to state on what grounds the proposition was turned down, ex- cept to declare it ‘“objectionable.

BANKERS RECESS ON GERMAN LOAN Morgan Goes to - London. Await Replies From Rep- arations Body. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 3.—J. P. Morgan, who is participating In the oonference here of the international committee of bankers, left for London today with Mrs. Morgan and Mr. and Mrs. George Whitney of Paris. They plan to return Tuesday, un- lees in the interval Mr. Morgan is informed that the reparations com- misslon is not.yet ready to reply to certain inquiries made by the bankers’ committee. In this case the committee chalrman, M. ‘ Delatrolx, will propose a further recess. Germany’s Value Question. The essential question which the baakers have put to the reparation commission is whether it desired rec. ommendation upon the larger as. pects of the value of Germany as a prospective debtor. The bankers, in thelr communication, allude in mo way to reduction of reparations as determined upon by the supreme council a year ago, nor is Germany’s Sapacity to pay referred to directl take the bankers' inquiries to mean that they do not see how any loan can be made to Germany without first determining her assets and the amount of her eventual liabilities. Chairman Dubols of the reparations commission has called a meeting of the commission for Tuesday. He has alréady been instructed, as Premier Poincare announced in the chamber of deputies last night, not to approvée any reduction in German reparations. It is considered not Improbable, however, that the commission may say to the bankers in effect: “Report all that is In your minds, and we will at least examine your views. Should the commission decide it to be better for the bankers not to go be- yond _the quite limited instructions they have at present, then the bankers will consider their work ended for the time being. The disposition of the bankers, of the members of the reparations commis- sion, and, it may be said, of Premier Poincare also, 18 to have the door kept open for an international loan—if not made immediately, then some time within the next twelve months. The urgency for the loan was greatly les- sened by the acceptance of the German government’s reply to the reparations commission’s ultimatum, which expired Muy 31, 50 that at least no hew crisis seems likely to arise until December 31, to which datd the partial mora- torfum granted Gérmany runs.

INDUSTRIAL HOME DECISION IS NEAR === Future in Doubt Since Plan of - Placing Children in Private Families. The board of charities will submit a report to Commissioner Rudolph within a week on the question of what should be done with the Indu trial Home 8chool on Wisconsin ave- nue after July 1. The future of the home has been left| in doudbt by the conclusion of the board of children’s guardians, reached in January, that it would not need the lome school after june 30. Mrs. R. Thomas West, secretary of the board of children's guardians, stated today that the board holds the view that it is better to place the children committed to it by the Juve- nile Court in private homes than in institutions. Pursuant to this principle, she said, the board has been placing all of ite children as rapidly as possible in private homes, where they have the same chance to grow up in family surroundings that more fortunate boys and girls have, and, at the same time, are under the regular super- vision of agents of the board. l!o-u Fully Iavestigated. % laid emphasis upon the polm lhlt the board never sends a child_into private home without first finding out the character of the foster parents, and the surroundings the child will have in the home.

The school has accommodations for about 135 children. The new appro- priation bill, now in conference, car- ries more than $20.000 for the opera- tion of the Industrial Home School after July 1, and an additional ltu'n of several thousand dollars is in bill to make repairs at the nmuuunn May Contimue Institution. The board of charities may suggest that the Industrial School be con- tinued in operation as a_ temporary receiving station for children com- mitted to board of children' guardians by the Juvenile Court un- | til_that board can find a suitable home for them.
