NEW SYNDICATE WANTS
TO FINANCE CHINA
President Wilson IL Asked to o. X.
ON Plan, of American Bankers
to Lend Money.


Having repudiated the connection of the
previous administration with the Ameri-
can group Of bankers associated with the
six-power syndicate in the loan negotia-
tons with China, President Wilson Is con-
fronted with the request that he put his
20. X" on the plan of another American
banking group which wishes to finance
the Chinese government In other words,
the independents who have sought TO
displace the present five-power group have
found IL impracticable to go ahead with
their plans unless they can secure the
Same Endorsement for themselves which
the present administration declined to give
to the American members of the interna-
tional group.
The request was made yesterday by
Juda H. Sears, Of the New York bank
Ing house of III. r. Hollins & Co., to the
State Department. Mr.. Sears conferred
with John Bassett Moore, counselor of
the State Department, yesterday after
noon and laid before him his proposal.
The matter was taken under advisement
by Acting Secretary Moore, who has been
but few days in the State Department
1t is the settled conviction of Washing
ton that President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan will find it impossible to
give to the new American group that
sanction which they refused to continue
in the case of the American bankers
who for year had participated in the
negotiations of the six-power syndicate
The Presidents action in withdrawing
from the concert of six governments
with regard to Chinese matters was
partly based on the conviction that the
previous administration had been guilty
of favoritism. To grant the request Of
the American bankers would also lay the
President open to the charge of having
withdrawn from the six-power group in
order that some American bankers
might obtain the entire loan all to them
selves. Under the six-power arrange
ment. the American bankers interested
were to bear only a share of the pro-
posed loan.
About a month ago Mr.. Sears called
upon the President and explained the
plan of the bankers he represented to
make a loan to China. He wished to
assure himself. IL was said at that time
that the President and the State De-
partment would take no hand in the
negotiations in any way. The Presidens
expressed his satisfaction at the pros
pect that China was to obtain neces-
sary funds from an American source
and the assurance asked for was given
Mr.. Sears said yesterday that he did
not think that the press dispatches to
the effect that representatives of the
Chinese government and the fve-power
group are about to sign the loan con-
tract are correct. He received advices
from Yuan Shin Kai yesterday. he said.
which convinced him that his loan pro-
posal has the right of way with the
Chinese government The Chinese are
in hurry to get money. however. he
said. and. therefore. he is extremely de-
sirous of meeting with prompt action
upon the part of the President

tors Nomination Not Yet Made.
The Senate Committee on Census was
unable yesterday at a meeting called
to consider the nomination of George W.
Harris, of Georgia, to agree on a report
on the nomination for Director of the
Census. The committee adjourned. sub
ject to the call of the chairman.
Some of the members of the committee
said later they believed an agreement
would be reached by which the incum-
bent, E. Dana Duran, would serve until
July /.
Charges that Harris appointment was
reward for political services rendered
to President Wilson in the pre-conven-
ton campaign, were Investigated by the
direction of the committee and found
to be without foundation. The State Of
Georgia did not give its support to Pres
ident Wilson in the Baltimore convention
until after he had ben nominated or had
sufficient votes to insure his nomination.

near future. the Democrats will be I'M

BRISTOW RESOLUTION
To AID PENSION FUND
Commissioners Believe Investigation
will Show Necessity Of
Legislation.
FIND NOW is VARIABL E

In March, pensioners of the District
police and fire departments were paid
y per cent of the amounts owing to
them; in February. So per cent. and in
January, 5S per cent; making steady
increase for this year in the amount
of unredeemed obligation on the part
of the District to those on its pension
rolls.
For the past three years the District
Commissioners have urged upon Con-
gress the necessity of enacting some
measure for the establishment of the
Districts pension fund on a sound finan-
cial basis Bills for the relief or
the Districts embarrassing indebted
ness to its pensioners have regularly
been introduced into both houses OF
Congress for the past three years.
These bills generally have been pigeon
holed by the District committees. The
deficiency in the police and firemen's
pension fund is continually mounting
higher.
Bill Is Pending.
bill for the creation of sources OF
revenue for the pension fund sufficient
for the amounts of pensions credited
against it again was transmitted to
Congress at the beginning of the present
session of Congress. 1t is the hope of
the Commissioners that the investigation
of the Districts pension rolls proposed
by Senator Bristow of Kansas for the
purpose of determining whether abuses
in the allowing of pensions TO former
members of the force having incomes in
dependent of their pensions, will serve to
bring mebers of Congress to tardy
legislation governing the pension fund
which will check the steady accumula-
ton of debts against the District to those
who have served the local government
faithfully and have been retired under
the present law. The Commissioners
have announced that If Senator Bristow's
proposed investigation serves this purpose
they will heartily welcome il.
Crime Helps Fund.
The fund is now chiefly dependent upon
the collections made in Police Court. A
wave of crime" in any month means
temporary relief to the pension fund.
Other sources of revenue for this fund
are the dog taxes, collected at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year; a monthly
retention of 81 from the salary of each
member of both departments, and pri-
vate donations to the fund, which are
generally almost a negligible quantity.
The principal feature of the measure
now before Congress Is the making over
of all revenue to the District from the
sale Of licenses, with the exception of
liquor licenses, to the pension fund. This
measure would provide a steady income
for the fund. which would enable the Dis
trict to meet its current pension obliga-
tons, and gradually to decrease the de-
ficiency.
The present total deficiency in the po-
lice and firemen's pension fund is
$40 2S4 o.

CONSTANTIEOPLE SILENT
ON SCUTARI SURRENDER

Constantinople, April e6.-The formal
surrender of Scutari today created
nothing more than mild expressions of
regret here. 1t is held on all sides to
be desirable ending of the situation,
the majority of the garrison at Scutari
were Albanians, not Turks. and they
were fighting for an autonomous Albania
and not for the Ottoman empire.
1t is believed here that Essad Pasha
will now play an important part in
Albanian politics and there is some spec
ulation as to what relations will exist
between his army and that of Djavid
Pasha, which is reported to be at Alvona.
