BLOC T0 DISCUSS LETTER ON SILVER; WlcCarran Plans Meeting Following Expression by Morgenthau. By the Associated Press, Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, planned a meeting today of the silver bloc to discuss a letter re- ceived yesterday from Becretary of the ‘Treasury Morgenthau dn which the Becretary said the Treasury had ac- quired 421,497,000 ounce§ of silver in the 10 months ending y 31, and termed the “disappearance” of specu- lative influences which' shot the price to 81 cents in April “s wh’mme de- velopment.” [ Morgenthau's letter, replylng to one from Senator McCarran asking ‘whether the administration had aban- doned the to buy silver until 1t equaled one-fourth the total metallic monetary reserves, said the figures on purchases and other acquisions “speak for themselves.” Uncertainty of Buying. But McCarran and others in his group said they were not satisfied that buying was being continued as rap- idly as it might. In a letter to Morgenthau last ‘week the Nevada Senator had inquired if any sales of silver had been made directly or.indirectly through the $3,- 000,000,000 stabilization fund, what policy was being followed in carrying out the silver purchase act and what caused the recent drop of 9 cents in the market price of the metal. Morgenthau refused fo reply to the question regarding the stabilization fund, saying it would “not be in the public interest,” as this fund had to do with “international exchange rela- tions rather than domestic monetary policy matters.” Manipulations Blamed. Replying to the query regarding the drop in price, Morgenthau said: ' “I do not believe that the sudden and abnormal rise of the price to 81 cents in the latter part of April was the result of the normal operation of legitimate market forces. “I think rather that it is to be at- tributed to manipulation of speculative interests. The disappearance of this unhealthy condition and influence has | been a wholesome development.” McCarran took exception primarily to this statement, telling newsmen: “When did a rise in price of silver become an unhealthy condition when the Congress passed a bill directing that purchases be made until the price reached $1.29 and the Treasury prom- ised to attain that price with reason- able speed?” C. C. C. CLUB LEADER | KILLED IN CRASH[ Young Musician = Was Well EKnown in Colored Educa- tional Circles. First Sergt..

Sl | editions of the paper, Taxicabs (Continued Prom First Page.) for the convention and “the disgrace- ful, unwarranted and slanderous at- tack upon taxicab drivers over the loudspeakers on Pennsylvania avenue,” President Davis of Diamond said at the close of a six-hour Board of Di- rectors’ meeting which resulted in the order to abandon the high rates. The 2,000 cabs of Bell, Blue Light, Premder, City, Harlem and General | had never deserted the 20-30-50-70 | basis. Dunlap accused Diamond and the Union Cab Association, headed by B. G. and Adolph Hohensee, of “taking undue credit for breaking the taxicab strike, which was foolish and without sane reason anyway.” He said: “The strike was made possible by the failure of the Utilities Commission and the House District Committee to draft irenclad rules governing a uni- form rate scale for all cabe.” Dunlap ‘added he was.in sympathy with.members of Congress who threat- ened to boycott cabs responsible for the short-lived high seale. | A meeting called early this morn- | ing by the Hohensees to stir sentiment | for a 20-40-60-80 schedule resolved into. a union-organization attempt which met with little success. Only about 250 .drivers, many of whom came .to scoff, appeared at the lot at Fifth and Florida avenue north- wast, where the Hoheusees had made latorate arrangements for what they declared. in advance was o be a strike-aversion rally. | Adolph® Hohensee said ancther | mecting . will. be held this. afiernoon at 3 o'clock at 423 G street.

ATHENS, June 12 (#).—M. Rhallis, a Royalist Deputy, said today he had received a letter from the secretary | to_former King Géorge I saying: “He is ready as soon as he receives the summons to return to Greece, not just to personify a system of gov- ernment on its return to favor, but to work as a royal peacemaker among the conflictinig political parties.” Rhallis said the secretary’s letter, described George as being deeply touched by the devotion of a large number of Greeks to the monarchy, VERERRE N BOY KILLS PLAYMATE Hides in Field, Frightened by Accident With Shotgun.
