1t Is believed that in this statement
Mr.. Bryan had reference to an abortive
attempt to drop the negotiations in favor
of an adjustment of the issue between
the two governments by some legislation
at the hands of Congress that would con-
firm the rights of japanese now in the
United States as to land owning and leas-
ing, and also to a treaty which was pro

BANKS WEST AND SOUTH
TO HAVE AID, If NEEDED
Secretary McAdoo Stands Ready to
Lend a Hand in Moving
the Crops.

Secretary McAdoo again stands ready
to lend a hand to western and southern
banks In case they need money for crop
moving purposes. The plan Of lending
government money to the banks in agri-
cultural districts for use during crop
moving season last year was so successful
that it will be adopted this year, if the
necessity arises.
Money loaned by the Treasury Depart
ment last year was secured mostly by
commercial paper. All the borrowed
money had been returned to the Treasury
by April 1. together with interest amount
ing to $4,000. The total amount loaned
to banks was ss7. $4,000. 1t went to 1913
banks in sixty-two cities OF twenty-eight
states.
Secretary McAdoo announced he would
lend $50OO0OOO, but that much was not
sought In fact. the Secretary stood ready
to lend as much as 100000, had the
banks in the farming sections demanded
that much money.

AUTO|STS TO DISCUSS
MT. VERNON BOULEVARD
Will Meet Tonight With the
Chamber of Commerce
Directors.

Prominent automobilists OF the District
Of Columbia and nearby Virginia and
Maryland suburbs are to meet with the
directors of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce at O'Clock tonight to discuss
the feasibility Of aiding in the construc-
ton of boulevard connecting Washing
ton with Mount Vernon. The meeting
was called by William F. Guide. president
of the Chamber of Commerce. who said
today that only preliminary plans will be
discussed tonight.
"A number of men prominent in auto
mobile circles in the District of Column
bia and vicinity have been asked to meet
with the directors OF the Chamber OF
Commerce tonight said Mr.. Guide. 1T
is desired. to ascertain the views Of such
men on the question of aiding in the con-
struction of the proposed boulevard.
THE suggestion that automobile own
ers of the District raise a fund OF $1,000
to aid in building this road strikes me
as a good one, and l am also in accord
with the further suggestion. proffered IN
The Evening Star a few days ago. that If
every auto owner in the District of Co
lumbia contributed 81 the fund of $4,000
would be raised.

SAY CRASH WAS CAUSED

NEW YORK. June 15-In view of
statements that the steamship Pretoria
was Off her course when she rammed
the liner New York early Saturday. the
Hamburg American line today sent a
message to Capt. Dugge of the Pretoria
asking him to wireless his position at
the time of the crash. The Pretoria is

sheds no light on the cause of the crash,
but states that only few of the Pre-
toria's plates were bent; that the ship
was firm and tight and that there was
no danger for passengers. ship or cargo.
a force Of 200 shipwrights. riveters and
plate filters began today to repair the
damaged port bow of the New York, and
it was announced that the ship would be
ready to leave on her regular scSeduled
time next Friday morning. A survey of

lision Saturday morning that would neces-
state sending her to dry dock.
Hole Thirty-Two Feet Long.
The hole made by the Pretoria is about
thirty-two feet long and fifteen feet deep.
The work of the repair force today was
to remove the anchor of the Pretoria, left
in the rent after she backed away fol-
lowing the impact.
A recent change in the steamship lanes
may have been responsible for the col
lision. Capt. Roberts, in a statement,
said there was a difference of about
twenty-five miles between the old and the
new eastward lanes and that the Pre-
toria was pursuing the old lane instead
of the new, the former being the same as
the new westward lane, which the New
York was correctly following at the time.
The cabin passengers are unanimous
in their praise of Capt. Roberts and his
crew. That there was no panic was due
to the warnings sounded by the stewards
that there was no danger. Despite this
fact, there were many passengers who
rushed for life preservers, and the life
boats were made ready to launch should
they be needed.
There was the usual scramble to decks
of scantily clad passengers, and many
amusing incidents are related today. TWO
fat men who had strapped on lie pre-
servers rushed for the deck, only to be-
come wedged in the door Of the cabins
Their calls for help brought woman
passenger, who notified the baker and his
mate of their plight. They were released
with barrel slaves used as levers.

THE Mayor need not expect that Councils
i will relax in the idea that this Is bad
Administration" Councils knows that IT is
a good Administration. That is why Coun-
ellis through it's unofficial publicity agent,
makes such stupendous effort to arouse
the contrary impression.
There is the Bureau Of city Property for
instance. city Hall is cleaner and better
kept than ever There would not be so much
objection to this If 1t were not for the fact
that IL costs 100000 a year less to keep it
clean than 1t used to cost to keep 1t dirty.
THAT means 100000 less in sinecures an
nually. Nobody would expect the Organi
cation to approve that kind of government.
II il kept UP long enough there would be no
way to hold "the boys" in line and not
enough could be collected on election even
ing to make Hail. hail, the gangs all here"
heard across Independence Square at mid
night. No good government for the people
is superlatively bad government in the eyes
OF the Organization
But the Mayor need not worry. His Ad-
ministration has been so notable an achieve
ment that it has focused this city the
eyes Of the municipalities OF the country.
Nor are the voters deceived. They cannot be
fooled with old tricks by sleight-of-hand
politiCiaus
