Lockwood Inquiry Will
Resume Hearings To-day
After Finishing Material Com
bine Work, Committee Is
TO Investigate Banks

The Lockwood Committee on Hous-
ing enters upon the last phase of its
inquiry with the resumption of hear
ings in City Hall this morning. After
going into the few remaining building
material combines, the committee will
center its attention upon the banking
institutions and fire insurance compa-
nies, which the investigators hope to
show have to a large extent held up
building operations through their ex~
orbitant demands in return for neces-
sary capital.
The committee expects further to
show that powerful financial institu-
tions have played prominent part in
checking building operations, and SO
further contributing to the housing
shortage. 1t is expected to be dis
closed that usurious rates have been
charged as customary practice by
these institutions; that banks have de-
manded of builders desiring loans that
they accept Liberty bonds at par or al,
most worthless land at fancy prices, as
a consideration for obtaining the loan
sought
1t is understood the state banks,
trust companies and life and fire in
surance companies are to be compelled,
under contemplated legislation, to in
vest certain fixed proportion of their
funds in real estate mortgages. If this
legislation is enacted as planned by
the committee at least $500, 900 900 will
be available in this state alone for
building operations.

in bed at her apartment, Al West
Twelfth Street, early yesterday morn
ing by Norman L. Mormond, an artist,
living at the same address.
DR.. Charles Norris, medical exam
mere, ordered the body removed to the

La Guardia Has Noisy
Clash With Falconer
Board President, Called Dis
grace To Party Demands Com
fcrec 'Acs Like a Gentleman

The Tammany majority in the Board
of Aldermen was entertained Yesterday
by q spirited Verbal combat between
two Republican members Of the board
Major f. II. La Guardia, president of
the board, and Alderman Bruce Nj. Fal-
coner INDUCED. in the verbal passes
which reached climax when the pre-
siding officer declared the alderman
out of order and intimated that his
conduct was unbecoming a gentleman.
Alderman Falconer retorted by shout
ing at the Aldermanic President that
he was disgrace to his party.
The trouble started when Alderman
Falconer asked the courtesy of the
floor for Mrs. NJ McAllister Smith,
state chairman of the American and
French Children's League, and several
of her friends who were interested in
the resolution introduced by Falconer
permitting the organization to sell re-
productions of the Flanders poppy on
the streets of the city between May %
and May 80. Major La Guardia ruled
that no persons interested in a matter
before the board should have the privi-
lege of the floor and requested the
withdrawal of the committee. Alder
man Falconer took exception to the
ruling, and on being told that he was
out of order refused to take his seat.
For few minutes there was general
disorder in the chamber, Falconer
shouting for recognition, the Alder
manic President pounding his gavel
and the clerk continuing, by direction
of the chair to read the matters on
the calendar. Finally, after repeatedly
being called to order. Falconer shouted: :
"All | can say is that you are a dis
grace to your party"
The Aldermanic President banged his
gavel more vigorously and managed to
make himself heard above the uproar
when he said:
every member Of this board will
act as gentleman and those who are
not will try and act as gentlemen

New Plan To Declare
Peace Offered i'm House
Porter Introduces Resolution
Designed 10 Harmonic
Differences
Prom The Tribune's Washington Buyeaa

bureau
WASHINGTON, May Indifference
of opinion prevails in the House re-
garding the passage of a resolution de-
claring termination of the state Of
war with Germany. Representative
Stephen G. Porter, chairman of the
House Committc on Foreign Relations,
introduced resolution to-day intended
to clear up doubt; existing in the minds
tive to the extent of Congressional au-
thority in terminating q state of war
Indications have reached the President
that n misapprehension exists in re-
gard to such resolution, but the Pres
ident told Cabinet members to-day that
he expects that no difficulty will be en-
countered in harmonizing various
groups.
Representative Porter's resolution
calls for the declaration by Congress of
"a state of technical peace" and, to
quote from the Presidents message to
Congress, "undertakes no more" Sec
tion of the Porter resolution contains
the "qualifcations essential to protect
all our rights" referred to by the Pres
ident in addressing Congress. Repre-
sentative Porter said: Congress has
the power under the Constitution to de-
clare a state of war, and, by necessary
implication, to declare a state of peace.
They are separate and distinct acts;
therefore it is unnecessary and perhaps
unwise to repeal the decisions Of war
which might be construed as a dis
avowal of the war. The resolutions do
not fix any of the terms or conditions
of the treaties with our late enemies,
but leave the President as free and un-
trammelled in negotiating the treaties
after their passage as before"

Each Refuses Aid Until

j. r. Bailey, contracting painter. and
his employee, Edward Hughes, were
painting the Ocean Park Casino here
to-day when scaffolding, forty feet
above the ground on which they we're
standing, broke in half. Bailey
grasped projecting coping as the
board broke, but his assistant fell to
the ground, suffering a broken wrist.
Swinging in the air nearly thirty
feet from earth, Bailey insisted that
the resscuers send Hughes to the hos
pital before they helped him. But
when those who had attempted to aid
Bailey turned to his employee, he told
them first to rescue his employer,
This they proceeded to do, and Hughes
urged them on in their work.

BEDFORD, N. Y, May 17.--An inno-
walton by the new superintendent of
the State Reformatory for Women
here, DR.. Amos T. Baker, is an honor
class of prisoners. The plan, which
was announced to-day, is unique be-
cause those admitted to the honor cot

The girls housed in each of the nine
large cottages elect one of their group
to go to Lowell cottage, the home OF
the honor class. The honor prisoners
are not so closely confined or so con-
stantly watched as other inmates.
While the door of each girls room in
other cottages is always kept locked,
the doors in Lowell cottage are left
unlocked. The inmates also are per-
mitted more recreation. Competition
among the prisoners for election to the
honor cottage already is keen.
