proposals made at the conference here

men. President Wilson. Secretary Nc
Adoo and other government officials.
The conference was unanimously or the
opinion that the pressing questions to be
solved were.
Restoration of the market for foreign
exchange bills: immediate provision OF
means for transporting American grain.
cotton and other merchandise abroad
and war risk insurance
AS a solution of the problem for the
stoppage of overseas commerce. the
conference agreed upon proposal for
government insurance against war risks
of American register ships ana tnelr
cargoes. 1t was the consensus OF opir.
lon that with enlarged registry OF
American ships and action by the gov
ernment supplementing what private
companies might do in connection with
insurance, the question OF exports OF
grain and cotton and of foreign eX-
changes would rapidly solve themselves,
Foreign exchanges it was declared
would find its equilibrium when the
United States gets the ships and moves
the grain

out that in view of the fact that Great
Britain. France and Belgium already
had provided government insurance OF
their merchant shipping, the United
States would be helpless, as no ships
would come under the American flag
after the passage of the pending reg
lister measure unless their owners
were assured of insurance under the
American flag. This would result in
a foreign monopoly of sea transporta-
ton, they predicted, and the fixing
wheat and cotton would be sold. A

Horses Next Year
ESTIMATE GOES
TO WHOLE COUNCIL

At the meeting OF City Council last
night the Board Of Police Commits
sioners presented its financial esti-
mate for the year, asking an increase
OF S15,270 over the present fiscal
year, due, it was explained, TO the
wish Of the Police Commission to add
eight members to the force, one SER
geant, six men and a stenogfapher.
The new men are TO form traffic
squad to be fully equipped with
horses. etc. The Commission also
asked for S5,45O in addition TO this
years appropriation, made necessary
by the addition of ten new patrol
men to the force last fall, as author
lied by Council The latter request
was referred to teh finance commit
tee, but the request for an increase Of
S15,270 on the next years budget, was
referred to Council as a committee Of
the whole, upon motion of Council
man Stover, who remarked that It
was too big job for the finance COM
mittee to handle alone.
The communication from the Police
Commission follows:
Gentlemen:-
We respectfully submit herewith an
estimate of the amount necessary to
defray the expenses of this Depart
ment. for the fiscal year, commencing
July 1, 1914. and ending June 30, 1915,
the aggregate of which is $127, ,270.00,
and is S15,270 in excess of the amount
appropriated for the current year.
This increase results In the esti-
mated cost of increasing the force by
the addition of a traffic squad of one
sergeant and six patrolmen, horses
and equipment for the same; a
stenographer and clerk, and for the
beginning of the work of placing our
fire and police alarm wires under
ground, as follows:
