CROOKS AT THE LION
 NOTHING PERSONAL

Court House Crooks is the title of a very funny two reel comedy at the Lion theater today, in which the man with the funny facial expression Ford Sterling plays the leading crook" This picture abounds with humorous situations, such as could happen in any other court house eX- cept Maricopa, which is known for it's dignity. Six reels comprise the Lion offering for today and in addi- ton to Court House Crooks" The Diamond from the Sky has it's re- gular weekly appearance and this chapter is intensely interesting. Ed Coxen and Winifred Greenwood play the leading parts in The Deception, a drama from the American studios which is a clever story well told in film form. ''The Game" by the Thanhauser players ends one of the best diversified programs seen at the Lion in some time and is sure to appeal to everyone. Friday the Lion will present Walter Edwards in The Ace of Hearts" a story of the north woods.

PRO GERMANS WILL AID

plate a Notation of a half billion dollar loan in New York for Ger many as a counter movement, for the sole purpose of withdrawing this sum from the money, market and making it unavailable to the allies. It would be better, the originators of the plan are quoted as saying, to tie up that amount and pay interest and let it remain idle than to permit ii to fall into the hands of Germany s enemies to be spent for munitions and foodstuffs.
 Some of the largest financial in stitutions in the United States, in cluding the big banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, which is second in New York only to J. P. Morgan and Company, have thus been excluded by this policy. Appar- ently it was taken for granted 1t would be useless to ask financiers with German sympathies to contrib ute dollars toward the proposed loan. Such a policy, however, is disavowed by Basil Blackett, secretary of the commission.
 Blackett said he did not know who arranged that none of the members of these firms should not meet the commission, in fact, he did not know they were not to meet the commis- sioners. Overtures looking to a pos sible participation by Kuhn, Loeb & CO, In the loan, while not made are said to be in the making James J. Hill, the railway builder and finan- cier of the northwest, who cham pioned the cause of the commission
 
 the situation, left Morgan's this af- ternoon for the office of Kuhn, Loeb X Co., and there sat down for d twenty minute talk with his old time friend. Jacob Schiff, a member of the firm.
 Hill discussed the loan with Schiff though neither would state after the conference the subject of discussion. From another source it is reported Kuhn, Loeb 6 Go. did not look un- kindly upon the invitation to join Lands in these instances with the firm of J. r. Morgan & Co. and par ticipate in the loan. A report di- rectly to the reverse of this, how ever, also gained circulation. It is impossible to verify either.
 Some ro-German bankers and high money counsels of Wall street feel keenly the failure of their firm s not receiving an invitation to meet the members of the commission. These bankers point out that they are primarily Americans notwith- standing with whom their sympathies are in the European conflict and that their interests and the welfare of the United States are identical, and that If they are to choose bet ween the continuance of American prosperity and hard times. they will

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Judge Car penter of the United states district court ordered the receivers of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific to start action against the present and former directors of the company for the recovery of s6,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-From high official quarters it is learned that the United States government will neither approve nor disapprove the loan being negotiated by repre- sentatives of the European allies.
 The projected loan is regarded by high officials as a purely commer- cial credit not differing from other commercial transactions for war sup plies which are permitted under do- nestle and international law There is indication the Washington govern ment will take no steps either to express its views formally on the loan or to otherwise exert an influ- ence.
 Officials in touch with the German financial interests in this country do not look for a protest from the Ger man government in case the Anglo French loan is floated. It is pointed out that Germany has done what amounts to the same thing herself and attention is called to the fact that out of s1O,O0O, 900 borrowed by Germany without collateral $8.000, 900 bonds are being held by subscribers here as an investment despite Ger many's offer to liquidate the debt.
