WAR LOAN AIM
OF AGENTS NOW
Third Secret Meeting Is Held
With Bankers-May Make
Report Soon.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17-Another
secret meeting, the third within three
days vas held today between MEM
bers of the Anglo French financial
commission and representatives of big
New York. Chicago, Boston and other
out of town banking houses who are
endedvoring to reach an agreement on
the proposed mammoth credit loan to
Great Britain and France. No further
word was forthcoming from the COM
mission than its brief statement of
last night saying so much had already
been accomplished that 1t was hoped
a definite statement could soon be
issued telling of the progress made,
The proposal, said to have been
made by American bankers, that the
commission would be given loan of
half the sum originally asked, was
widely credited today. The commits
sion let IL be known soon after It's ar
rival here that it was seeking billion
dollars. Five hundred millions, 1t Is
said. have been promised.
This proposal has not appeared to
he altogether acceptable to the COM
mission. and il is believed the sum
will be increased by 100000, 900 or pos
siblv to $3.50, 600, 900 before negotiations
and Whatever is loaned, II Is gener-
aIiy believed the interest rate will be
per cent. to the investor and about
5b per cent TO the underwriters.
whether the big credit should be
used to pay for shipments of war
munitions as well as wheat, cotton
and other commodities has been the
subject of much discussion among
the conferees. 1t is believed a much
larger loan could be fioated If 1t
were understood that the credit
would apply only to commodity ship
ments and that munitions would be
Maid for in some other manner, pos
sibly by gold shipments. Great Brit
ain and France, it is said, oppose this
plan, however, and are desirous OF
having the big credit cover exports
of every form.
Increasing willingness on the part
of certain so-called pro-German
financial institutions here to partici-
pate was manifest today. These

POLICE BOARD
STILL RESISTS
WIRE PULLING
No Need for More Than One
Captain NoW-TWo Others
Next Spring.

Despite powerful influences which
are being brought To bear. the Police
Board will not make any appoint
ments at their conference tomorrow
morning, which will be held at 1890
o'clock. The purpose of the session
is to receive official notification from
the State Civil Service Commission
in reply to a request for an extension
of the eligible list for police captains.
While no communication has been
received up TO date from the Civil
Service Commission an extension of
six months had been granted as was
told exclusively In the Evening Star
yesterday.
With the present eligible list to re-
main in force for period of six
months more, the police commission
ers may at any time during the pc
riod appoint one or more police cap
tains. 1t is the general sentiment of
the commissioners that three cap
tains OF police will be needed by the
spring of 1916, at the time the 250th
anniversary celebration begins, but
there is no need for their appoint
ment at this time.
Just as soon as an agreement can

J|TNEY ORDINANCE
PASSED DESPITE
VETO BY MAYOR
City Counsel Frazer Helped
Frame 1t, Then Said It
y Was illegal.

The Board of Works. late yesterday
afternoon, passed the iitney ordinance
and the ordinance making Park place
one-way street over the veto of
Mayor Raymond and the strong pro-
testations of Commissioner Charles r.
Gillen.
y The two Republican members of
the board Commissioners Arthur r.
Denman and William Tries, jr.. voted
against the mayor, and incidentally
criticised the legal work of City
Counsel Spaulding Frazer, who su-
pervised the work of the special com
mittee which drafted the ordinance.
Mr.. Frazer is accused of pulling
another bone head play" in allowing
the Board of Works Commissioners
TO prepare an ordinance and then tell
ing the mayor that the ordinance
was not valid. Mr. Frazer met with
the commissioners time and time
again and helped them on various
points. He was one of the main sup
porters for jitney regulation and
urged the Board of Works to prepare
an ordinance
Commissioner Tries places the
blame on the City Counsel "If we
did not have authority then why
didn't the City Counsel tell us so,"
asked Mr. Tries. He played with us
at first and then against us with the
mayor"
II do not care to say anything"
said Mr.. Frazer today when asked
about the matter. He declined to ex-
nlain the seeming fact that he had
reversed himself on the jitney ordi-
nance.
AS soon as the veto message of the
mayor was read yesterday to the
board of Works meeting, telling of
bta reason for the veto by explaining
tho+ in his opinion, that privilege
tnas' was vested in the Common Council
alone. Commissioner Denman rose

Charles P. Gillen, independent Dem

dress of his campaign at a meeting
of the Woodrow Wilson Democratic

NEGRO SHOOTS
WIFE AND THEN
KILLS HIMSELF
South Fifteenth Street Tragedy
This Morning that Ter
inmates Two Lives.

Frank Woodbridge. negro hod-
carrier, thirty-three years old, shot
and fatally injured his wife and in
stantly killed himself this morning
about 1880, in their home, at SS South
Fifteenth street. The woman died in
the ambulance, while being rushed to
the City Hospital. The couple have
no children.
The following note was found on the
bureau of their bedroom, unsigned,
but clearly in the mans handwriting
ITO whom it may concern: That
Frank Woodbridge did this deed be-
cause | was tired of being wrapped
up in debt all the time. For the last
five years / have done nothing but
pay out my money to people"
Several letters were found in the
house, including the following note,
written on a sheet of paper which had
not been folded and had been left by
the man at some previous time, when
he and his wife were not on speaking
terms:
IF we separate again, | won't go
back to see you; so, goodbye"
This note was unsigned also, and
evidently had been written some time
ago.
Little Known of Them.
Little is known of the couple at
the Fifteenth street address. They
moved in on the first of September,
paying rent for a month in advance,
and kept pretty much to themselves.

Fair Play League Members
Ready TO Withdraw Their

Statewide Agitation to Be
Made-Letter Will Be Sent
h. to Concerns.

Protest against local or other finan-
clal institutions of New Jersey par
tlclpating in the proposed great loan
OF American money to assist the enc
mics of Germany and Austria was
made at the meeting of the Fair Play
League here last night 1t was de-
clued 10 institute a propaganda
against any State financial or insur-
ance company that takes part in the
proposed loan. A letter will be sent
by the local organization TO every
nank and every insurance company
In New Jersey.
The Fair Play League also went on
record as in favor of having every
member and their friends withdraw
their accounts from the banks that
may assist the allies to overwhelm
Germany i was declared that if the
United states permitted the proposed
loan to the allies it would be equiVa-
lent to taking part in the war and
would place this nation on record as
? belliserent.
An effort will be made by the Fair
Play League to extend its propaganda
to other organizations throughout
New Jersey and to systematize the
general effort.
Serious Situation
Charles A. Gehrie offered the mo-
ton that the Fair Play League go
publicly on record as opposing any eff
. fort of the enemies of Germany to
cure funds from New Jersey finan-
n institutions. He said: TT is a
'ious matter for the people of New
lsey to consider. If the allies lose
IL war 1t will be years before the
Litigation is ever met, and any gree'
sums which might be loaned will seri-
ously affect the financial strength of
the banks and insurance companies of
New Jersey.
I'VE should by fair means alone at
tempt to prevent this step. If neces-
sary we can threaten to withdraw our
accounts from any bank that loans
money for the Anglo French interests.
The entire proposition is un-neutral
and n-American''
n DR.. William J. Roever added that in
his opinion a letter should be sent to
every banking and insurance organi-
cation in the State, setting forth in
n determined way the objections 10
the billion dollar loan. This sugges-
ton was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Gehrie called attention to the
fair manner which the Newark Eve
ming Star had given the Spring Lake
speech Wednesday night by President
Thomas N McCarter, of the Public
Service Corporation. The Evening
Star editorial commenting on Mr..
McCarter's speech was also indorsed.
"The address of Mr.. McCarter, as
reported most ably in the Evening
Star, sounded the true American po-
sition. 1t was the most clear-cut eX-
preston of fair minded opinion that
has ever been uttered declared Mr..
Gehrie. On motion of Mr.. Gehrie 1t
was decided to send a letter to Presi-
dent McCarter commencing him for
his courageous expression declaring
his belief that the proposed loan to the
allies would be immoral and that the
United States would be inconsistent
If the loan was permitted.
