INANGIERS HOLD SECRET MEETING Great Bntam and France Wish Loan to Cover War Orders New York, Sept. 17.—Another days—was held today between mem- Mers of the Anglo-French financial @Ommission and representatives of New York, Chicago, Boston and other cut of town banking houses who are endeavoring to reach an agreement on the terms of the proposed mammoth credit loan to Great Britain and France. No further word was forthcoming om the commission than its brief jatement of last night that so much had already been accomplished that it was hoped a definite statement could sbon be issued telling of the progress a‘lready made, $500,000,000 the Loan? The proposal, said to have made by American bankers, that the mmission would be loaned half the m they originally asked for was Widely credited today. The commis- sion let it be known isoon: after its arrival here, that it was seeking a billion dollars. Five hundred million, it is said, have been promised. This proposal has not appeared to Be altogether acceptable to the com- mission and it is believed that the sum Vfll be increased by $100,000,000 or posslbly to $750,000,000 before nego- tiations end. Whatever is loaned it i8 generally believed the interest rate Wwill be five per cent. to the investor d about five and one-half per cent. the underwriters. ) Pay for War Munitions. . Whether the big credit should be ‘used to pay for shipments of war mu- nitions as well as wheat, cotton and other commodities has been the sub- ject of much discussion among the commissioners and their financial egents and other conferees here. It i8 believed a much larger loan could Be floated if it were understood that e credit would apply only to com- odity shipments and that munitions war would be paid for in some other manner, possibly by direct ship- ients of gold. 4 Great Britain and France, it 1is id, oppose this plan and are de- rous of having the big credit cover ports of every form. & Pro-Germans to Participate. Increasing willingness on: the part certain so-called pro-German finan- 1 institutions here * to participate fas ‘manifest -today. These banking uses, it was said, are pro-German ly in sympathy, and .if invited, many would be glad to subscribe large ms to a credit loan which will erate : towards a” cohtiriuance ‘of a esent prosperity enjoyed by Ameri- in exporters P 6" presence of the commission sre--and. the publicity - given their egotiations have had a tonic effect 3, the foreign exchange markets. ? Move Of Opponents. Opponents of the loan' carried their f campaign into Wall Street today and amnounced their sentiment from flam- ing placards in front of the office of>J; P. Morgan & Company. 5 “Wall Stréet’s shame,” read one of several large signboards held aloft by leaders of a file of men who marched through the financial sec- n as a protest against the loan. fAnother ‘read: -“The money trust is lending billions of American money t6 bankrupt England, France and Russia.”. The procession ended with a man carrying a’ big sign on which 'was painted “Billlons for King | George.” The,paraders stopped in front of 5 Morgan offices. A crowd collect- ¢d and detectives ordered them to move, on. i _ Earlier in the day a large man, essed in a bright red-coat and blue eeches, which he said were em- blemati¢ of the British army uni- form, sauntered through Wall Street d stopped on the sidewalk in front the Morgan offices. A diminutive aw hat, whose crown was not ger than a siiver dollar, rested on s 'head and in his hands he car- ‘fled 2 many-colared banner on which ere writen sentiments similar to those later displayed by the parad- been ¢ “The crowd which immediately sur- n@ed him choked the street for seral minutes. The police finally Mt him away. 3 3 ‘;FCEIV“‘R APPOINTED | FOR INTEROCEAN CO. &ncem Doing Transatlantic Carry- ing Goes Into l?nnkrupwy_ PDemurrage to Blame, !New .York, Sept. 17.—Federal Jydge Hough today appointed Robert R: Lavis, an atiorney, receiver for the Interocean Transportation com- pany of America against which a petition - of inveluntary bankruptey was filed earlier in the day.

The Export and Domestic company, h a claim of $74,365 for alleged ach of contract, was the chief pe- ioner: JThe financial difficulties of the con:- ny were said to be due to the hold- up of several cargoes by Great fritain and subsequent demurrage company was forced to pay cus- dmers. 5 SCharles John Lindquist of 23 Wake- (813 court and Miss Mabel . Emma fiwley of 53 West Main street were @rrica yesterday by Rev. Harry I dlcy of . St Mark’s Episcopal ch.” mericans Warned to Leave Mexico As Border Bandits Pillage and Rob ‘Warnings from Washington werse sent. to all Americans in Villa terri- tory, wherever it was possible to reach them, to get out of Mexico without delay. Reports from interior Mexican points say many Americans and other foreigners are tryink to reach the border, as they fear to remain among the Mexican bandits TO SEND SUICIDE’S BODY TO HIS HOME No Actual Motive of W. D, Lewis’ Act Is Found The body.of W. D. Lewis, who com- mitted suicide at the Hotel Bronson yesterday morning by blowing his brains out, will be sent to his home in Uniontown, Pa., tonight. The local police received word from the Union- town authorities this morning that the family wanted the remains sent home for interment. No New Facts Learned. Other than the fact that the dead man has been positively identified as ‘W. D. Lewis, nothing further has bee.. learned about him. “Tom” Palmer and Charles Halpern, his two com- panions, say they know nothing about him except that his folks are well to do people in Pennsylvania. They both state that they know of no possible motive to cause him to take his own life. = The three men have been fol- lowing the fairs all season and state that they have been unfortunate finan cially for the past five weeks. It is thought that behind the young man’s rash act of yesterday is some deeper motive than has yet come to light. He was well dressed and his appearance indicated that he had not been suffering intensely before taking his life as his clothes were not dis- arranged nor were his features dis- torted as they would be had he killed himself if frenzied for the need of morphine, as was suggested. In Lewis’ coat pocket was a letter sent him by some close friend. This letter stated that the writer had been arrested by the state police in Penn- sylvania and advised Lewis to keep away from that locality for some timo to come. It concluded by advising the recipient that “the stuff” would be sent as soon as possible. The fact that implements such as-.are used.by “dope fiends,” or agents who dis- tribute ‘“dope,” were found in Lewis’ belongings and the letter telling of the arrest and advising him to keep away and concluding by saying that th: “stuff” would be sent soon, may or may not have any significance. An acquaintance of Lewis in talking to the police after the shooting yester- day remarked that Lewis would not have done it had he been able to get what he wanted. Edwin Cornwell. Edwin Cornwell a native of Berlin, died today at his home at 241 Chest- nut street, this city. He was fifty-four years, ten months, and two days old and leaves, besides his wife, two sons, William and Edwin, Jr., He was em- ployed as a mechanic by the Stanley Rule and Level company.

BRYAN T0 ESCORT DOVE OF PEACE May Attempt to End War by Personal Visit Washington Sept. 17.—Plans to send Former Secretary Bryan on a mission of peace to the warring na- tions of Europs were the subject of a conference here today between the former cabinet officer and Dr- Wil- liam Forgo representing editors of American newspapers published in’ foreign languages. Before visiting Mr. Bryan Dr. Forgo in a public statement set forth the plan as so far developed which contemplates a per- sonal visit by Mr. Bryan to the belli- 8erent nations to argue for peace. In his statement Dr. Forgo said that Mr, Bryan had already given him the impression that if the trip were undertaken Mr- Bryan himself, “will for the love of the cause not only sacrifice his time but will aso pay his own expenses.” The statement lauded the former secretary of state, saying that in ‘“‘All Europe, in ' belligerent or neutral countries there is no American held in greater esteem than Mr. Bryan.” Dr. Forgo sald Mr. Bryan prob- ably would annovunce his plans' after today’s conference.

MADE FOR MAID ‘We have a host of good things this season specially made for Young Ladies—new styles for college or business wear—nct a single old-fogey idea about them. These are the Clothes you want, and ought to have, if you want to be in style—they're right; and they're made right, by tailors who know more about making good Clothes— and stylish Clothes—than any one else in the business. Genuine H. O. P. Clothes like these are always preferred by women who know good tailoring and good values, and who want to be stylishly dressed- Come in and see the new things. e ———————————————— ITEMS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN The addition of a little sugar to the water in which turnips are cooked will improve the flavor. If you have even a small back yard, you will save money in buying poul- try for table use alive. The washing should be brought in as soon as dry, as clothes whip to pieces or rot in the sun. It is a great mistake to fill the dishes on the invalid’s tray too full. Also, do not crowd the tray. Putting a coat of varnish on the linoleum yearly will make it last for years and look bright and new. If white potatoes are inclined to turn black with cooking, try adding a few drops of vinegar to the water. A little syrup added to the baked beans will improve their flavor. Add it when they have finished baking. Brittle finger nails indicate a lack of oil; eat more olive oil and but- ter, and rub vaseline every night on the nails. In pruning raspberries you should cut away all fruit-bearing canes as soon as they drop their leaves. It is best to give linens a lang soaking before washing. If this method is followed, stains will wash out easily. If the bright parts of the kitchen range turn black from heat, dip a cloth in vinegar and rub on the blackened parts. If the soup stick is thin, there is nothing that will add more richness of flavar than tomatoes and a good quantity of butter. A few drops of paraffin added to shoe blackening will impart a good polish to damp shoes and also help to preserve leather. The secret of the delicious omelet | lies in the use of more yolks than whites, a little rich cream and a sea- soning of cheese. A good mixture to set color in cotton materials is one tablespoonful of turpentine, a handful of salt and a pail of cold water. Plaid crepe blouses are something ! new. — Princess dresses are frequently belted . Pink seems to inerease in favor for corsets. One sees lots of jet buttons used as trimming.
