CHINA HALTS PROPOSALS
FOR FIFTY-MILLI0N LOAN

PEKING, Dec. 15.-The government
has not yet come to terms with the
American financial syndicate with re-
gard to the proposal of loan of $5O,-
600, 600 to be used by China in further
inc currency reforms and other inter-
ests of the empire. The final difficulty
in the way az pears to be in the matter
OF the appointment of a financial ad-
wiser to China who will be in posi-
ton to influence the expenditures
When the tentative agreement for
the loan was made the Chinese evil
IDENTIFY assumed that the adviser would
be q figurehead, the acceptance or re-
lection of whose advice would be OPP
tional with them. Now, however, they
are unwilling to proceed on this as
sumption.
The government probably could OBJ
tain smaller and uncontrolled loans,
though on less advantageous terms. In
fact, several agents of bankers not
participating in the American syndi-
cate are here, and il is believed that
they have already opened negotiations.
The diplomats in Peking appear to be
Of the opinion that piecemeal loans
will avail for some months, after
which a recourse to serious loans will
be unavoidable. The newspapers sig
nificantly publish the new plan for
current reforms on silver basis,
bringing out that the plan requires
for its accomplishment only $lO,-

CHARGES AGAINST CITY
CLERK ARE UNF0UNDED

Stories circulated yesterday that
City Clerk II. j. Lelande had been lax
with trust funds placed in his care
were found to have little basis in fact
when they We're investigated.
For almost a year an action to aban-
don Warehouse court has been pending
in one department or another in the
city government. Warehouse court Is
a cul de sac and If abandoned by the
city will revert to the Niagara Build
ing company. This company wants to
use the land for private purposes and
the council agreed it could have it for
$4,000. The council resolution provided
that the $4,000 should be paid before
the final ordinance is adopted
AS evidence of good faith the Niagara
Building company last April deposited
a certified check for $4,000 with City
Clerk Lelande. who was to act as es-
crow officer and pay the money to the
city when it executed its part of the
contract. If the city did not abandon
Warehouse court the money was to
be returned to the Niagara company.
Mr. Lelande is frequently called on to
hold checks of this nature, and he has
a number of them in his safe at the
city hall. But this check was for such
q large amount that he was afraid to
leave it in his safe and deposited the
check to his own account in a bank.
The city auditor December Q de-
manded that the money be turned over
to the city treasurer and Mr.. Lelande
at once drew a check for the amount
and deposited it with the treasurer.
Mr. Lelande's enemies contend that
he acted illegally in placing the money
to his own credit, but competent attor-
neys are not inclined to take that
view.
city Attorney ]. w. Shenk said yes
terday that the whole question de-
volved on whether the $4,000 was pub
lie money, and as it was expressly
stipulated that the money was not to
become the city's until the city had
done certain things and those things
had not been done, he did not be-
lieve it could be construed as public
money.
Marshall Stimson, who went carefully
into the matter on behalf of the Mu-
nicipal league, declared that he had
not been able to discover anything
criminal in the transaction.

STRAW BALLOT SUPPORTS
NEW BUILDING ORDINANCE

If straw ballot taken in the council
chamber last night on the increase in
the height of buildings is any indica-
ton, there would be a mighty close
vote If the matter were put to the peo-
pie on an initiative ordinance. OF thir-
ty ballots cast last night fifteen were
for an increase in the height and fifteen
were against it.
The ballots were cast by members of
the city council and the charter revis-
ion commission and city officials and
interested spectators who were present.
Each voter had in mind the proposed
structure to be erected by II. C. Merritt
at Eighth and Broadway if the council
will amend the ordinance to permit him
to erect it 2S3 feet high. 1t was evil
dent that any general increase in build
ing altitude would not be popular.
The matter came up over a discus
sion to fix the height of buildings in
the new charter, and as most of those
present had something to say, Council
men Gregory and Andrews called for a
straw ballot.
Dana w. Bartlett of the city planning
committee was opposed to increasing
the height, and said the committee yes
terday afternoon had adopted resolu-
ton which will be presented to the
council Tuesday voicing a formal pro-
test.
DR.. John r. Haynes opposed sky
scrapers in general because he said
they changed climatic conditions on
the ground.
IF you build skyscrapers here you
will have a race of pigmies and degen-
crates as they have in New York city,
said DR.. Haynes. But on the particular
question of the Merritt building he de-
clared he was in favor of 1t.
A provision that will fix the height
of buildings at 150 feet. with the iieXi-
BILE condition that the people can
change this by a majority vote, may
be incorporated I'm the charter

CHARTER TO ALLOW
SUBWAY BUILDING
Fifty-Year Franchises for Under.
ground Roads viii Prob
ably Be Favored

Provision for subways and for grant
ing flfty-year franchises for them prob
ably will be a part of the new city
charter. This was practically the only
amendment on which the council and
the charter revision commission
reached anything like conclusion al
a joint session held in the council
chamber last night. While the peo-
pie have three times expressed them
selves as opposed to any longer terms
for franchises than twenty-one years.
it was pointed out that a subway is q
more expensive proposition than a sur
face line and that capital could not be
interested in such a project unless a
longer term was granted. But
such a provision will contain the
clause that after twenty-one years the
subway may be subject to condemna-
tion by the people on the payment of a
stipulated price.
Other amendments were discussed
but as no votes were taken no deter
mination was reached on any particu-
lar subject. Some of the proposed
amendments were not ready for con-
sideration by the council, but the char
ter revision commission promised to
have them by o'clock Saturday morn
ing and the council will meet at that
hour to give them further considera-
ton. From that time 1t may be neces-
Sary to hold almost continuous ses-
sions for if they are to be placed be-
fore the people in time for action by
the legislature this year they must
pass through council by December 20.
If the council is through with them
on that date it will then be February
% before the election can be held be-
cause of the time required for the
election machinery.
Last nights meeting was the first
joint conference of the council and the
charter revision commission that has
been open to the public. Councilmen
Gregory and Betkouski insisted that
there was no reason to go behind
locked doors and overrode the other
members of the council who wanted
executive sessions.
