Restaurant Man
Arrested, Buying
U. S. Army Property

The apprehension Of two United
States soldiers in civilian clothes
last evening, resulted in the arrest
today of j. l.. Houghton, proprietor
of restaurant at 7O5 Linden ave-
nue. on a charge of purchasing gov
ernment property from soldiers. The
soldiers, who are held In the guard
house, and who will be tried by court
martial, are alleged to have sold
army clothing to Houghton, who
faces prosecution by the civil feder-
al authorities under Section 35 of
the Act of March 4, 1909, which pre-
scribes a penalty Of not more than
two years confinement and a fine
of not more than $500 or both. The
seriousness of this offense may best
be Judged by the fact that Section AS
of the same act makes the receipt Of
embezzled government property sub
ject a person to fine Of not to eA-
ceed 5000 or Imprisonment Of not
more than five years, or both.
Houghton is being held in the
countp jail and will be taken to
Pueblo and examined by the United
States commissioner.

night. All departments manifested a

tice such economies as was made
necessary by the situation growing
out OF the loss OF good portion of
the city revenue. w. H. Harris. who

WILSON WILL
NOT SANCTION
WAR LOANS

Washington. Aug. President
Wilson today formally disapproced
OF the plans Of American bankers
floating loans in the United States
for the benefit of the belligerent
countries OF Europe but expressed no
objections to loans made to neutral
countries.
A formal statement to this effect
was prepared for issue through the
state department later today. The
mention of neutral countries In the
expression from the American gov
ernment was made because 1t Is un-
derstood neutral powers are trying
to float a big loan in the United
States. The Swsiss charge daft
faires had conference with Secre-
discuss his visit. The election of
proposals that American bankers be
permitted to float loan for belliger-
ent countries result from an inquiry
made by J. P. Morgan & Co., in
which they stated that certain pri-
vate interests had approached them
concerning possible loan to France.
The Morgan firm stated that no re-
quest had come from the French gov
ernment and that the inquiry was
made early to learn the attitude OF
the state department in case such ac-
tion might follow.
Secretary Bryan gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
I'm view of having been Question
ed as to the attitude OF this govern
| ment in case American bankers are
asked to make loans to foreign gov
ernments during the war in Europe.
the following announcement Is
made:
There is no reason why loans
should not be made to the govern
ment OF a neutral nation. but in the
judgment of this government loans
by American bankers to any foreign
nation which is at war are incon-
sistent with the true spirit of neu-
trality."
Secretary Zryan announced that
Switzerland had mode formal in
quiry as to the attitude of the United
States toward the floating of loan
for her in this country and that the
statement with reference to neutral
countries was intended to covec the
inquiry by the Swiss charge DAT
faires.
