The action was taken after a sharp debate in Wwhich Senator Borah told of rumors about efforts certain men were mak- ing to sell the property “at their own price.” The house had sent the bill back to conference with orders to strike out the provision to pay $1,400,000 for the grounds. The objectors, however, may agree to a modification stipulat- ing that the president shall fix the price if he deems it necessary. Prompt action on the war budget is regarded as lmperative. In the senate debate Mr. said: “Theré_has not been a' particle of evidence before this body upon. which any. reasonable man could come to a conclusion about the’ status of this property. There has been no testi- mony taken and no report upon which We can pass judgment. There are rumors floating around that certain igentlemen have had a contract for the sale of this property; that they have been peddling it around over the country and are here now’to make & sale to the government at their own figure and that the government is ac- cepting their figure without a bit of Borah .| testimony as to whether we are pay- “SEND 6,000,000” TAFT Former' President Favors Dispatch of Vast Army ‘Abroad If ‘America Is to Do Her Bit. - 4 Plttsbursh, Pa., June 12.—William Taft, one-time president, speaking yumdny &fternoon at a general meeting of ‘the National Conferengs | of Charities and Correction] w! subject was “international adj ment, After ‘the War,” declared the’ United States would have to p! billions of money and millions &2’ men 'into the struggle. “We are in this war because we are not willing to admit that we are no longer an independent nation,” sald Mr. Taft.’ We have not gone into’ ‘cause we are simply protecting thé rights of our citizens from a nation which has paid no attention to ii ternational law- Then, our allies represent the democracles of the world, our enemies the military dy- nasties. “The Kings of England l.nd Italy do not exercise any more power in their respéctive countries than does:an ex- President of the United States here.

The answer to the troublesome war question, as the efficlency committee sees_ it, is such an organization as will bring about compliance with reasonable rules without friction. All those present: pledged themselves to follow the instructions of Mr. Hoover as food administrator and to serve the government with all the intelligence they have. Toasts to-the .president and Mr. Hoover were given enthusi- astically. John C. Cavanagh, president of the society, presided- He urged that every restaurant man in New York come into the organization. P. E. Poindexter, executive director, said that men who know conditions best are likely to know best how to ¢on- serve food supplies, and so help win this war. Joseph Pike of Carlton. Terrace said that the restaurateurs would have the best of legal advice and would establish a free employ- ment agency to meet a possible shart- age of help. “We will support our sovernmem in this crisis to the letter,” he said, “and expect in return omly a sane interpretation of our rights as bus- iness men.” August ‘Janssen of the Hofbrau Haus raised & laugh when he warned against too much attention to the front part of the restaurant. He said it was equally important time t0 keep an eye on the back deor, a shot against .a practice of waiters which the restaurateurs have condoned for years. Captain Jim Churchill and Willilam ‘H. Hirst, counsel for the organization, also spoke. As evidence of the grow- ing apirit of solidarity among the restaurant . men, Samuel Berman, president of the New York restaurant Keepers' association, came to the dinner with a committee of twenty- five representative rutn.unnt men BORDEN INTRODUCES CONSCRIPTION BILL olCommnul(oNl( ‘Will'Be Needed to Fill UpRlnlm e " ‘Ottawa, June 13—A bill for com- pulsory military service by Canadians between the ages of 30 and 45 years | was presentéd in the house of com- mons yesterday by Sir Robert Borden..

Bit: STOCK SCHEME ENDS IN FAILURE Authontles Now Seeking Missing Brains of Project New York, June 12.—A gigantic scheme, involving the sale of stock in a $10,000,000 corporation and the or- ganization of a chain of banking and trading houses throughout the United States, suffered a seyere blow. yester- day when an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the firm of Kennedy, Mitchell & Co., Inc., of No, 35 Wall street. Meanwhile Assistant District Attor- ney Dooling was awaiting reply to a cablegram of inquiry sent to a banking firm of Budapan, Hungary, before announcing defiriitely the dis- position of $300,000 intrusted ta the firm by small Hungarian bankers for transmission to Hungary. Mr. Dooling has found no record of the delivery of this money in a week's search of the firm’s accounts, As the only one likely to kfow most about the company’s affairs, Mr. Dooling was anxious to get in touch with Willlam A. Kennedy, its presi- dent, who left his offices three weeks ago, saying he was going to France to look after contracts with the French gavernment amounting to 600,000,000 francs for the rehabilitation of the de- vasted of that country. Mr. Dioling said yesterday he had learned that before going Mr. Ken- nedy -closed his house at Larchmont and went via Key West to Havana, where he was met by his wife, who sailed from New York June 1. To- gether ,according ta the district at- torney’s information, they sailed for Spain on the ship due to arrive yes- terday at a Spanish port. The offices of the company, occu- pying the entire first floor of the building next to that of J. P. Morgan & Ca., and until recently the scene of the labors of well paid officials and eighty. clerks, were deserted yesterday except by two clerks left in charge by Mr. Kennedy, and a representative of the district attorney, who has been there for a week., Late in the day they were joined by the Shériff, who seized the offices to execute a judg- ment for .$600 obtained by L. H. Bigelow & Co., on a bill for stationery. Peter Nemeth, who recently be- came vice président of the Kennedy corporation, spent part of the day completing a statement to the district attorney which he began several days ago. - Nemeth, a Canadian of Hun- garian birth; is under bail in the federal court on the charge that he entered the country while facing a charge in Canada of shortage in con- nection with a plough concern which he represented. - He says the Cana- dian charge is'unfounded. He /gives the names of his four ‘children . as Willlam - Taft, Theodore Rooseveit, Martha Washington and Woodrow Wilson. . Upon coming to this countr Nemeth presented credentials -pur- porting to show that he represented the Hungarfan Banking and Trading company, a large Budapest concern. His object, it ‘was said, was to sell Hungarian war bonds. with ' Hungarians, it understood, was responsible for the bunness Kennedy, = Mitchell & Co. * from Hungarian bankers £n .ll pnm af the TUnited States, ; is glory to Canada. Lately the number of men volun- teering had fallen off while the de- mand for men increased, Sir Robert explained. . To date Canadians had suffered . casuaities to the number of 99,000. In April and May lgst 11, 796 men had been enlistéd in Can- ada, while there had been 17,322 cas- ualties among Canadians at the front., Thre were under arms onou‘h Can- adians to supply reinforcements for some time to come, but for military reasons he could not say how long. But during the next seven months, to keep four. Canadian’ army divisions in the fleld the enlistment of 70,000 men was needed and to keep five di- visions in the fleld 84,000 men were needed, he pointed out, there was a greater .number of suitable men in Canada.
