Jury URGES new
rule IN BALTIMORE.
Probe Brings Recommended
ton to Change Form of Mu-
nicipaI Government.
Special Dispat tch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, Md, January IA
commission form of government for Bal
timore was in the minds of members
of the grand jury when John P. Lau-
ber. the foreman of the body, made his
report yesterday. The REPORT reads:
He (the foreman). therefore. rec
ommends the earnest consideration OF
plans looking to the changing of the
form of municipal government to de-
termine what advantages different
system would possess over the one now
in vogue to prevent a continuance OF
the practices or which every one
claims to have knowledge. which every
one says they deplore and all condone.
and no one seems able to prevent. ana
which do not seem to come within the
pale of the law"
Asked today just what was meant
by that, Mr.. LAUDER said:
I'VE meant to suggest that the peo-
pie of Baltimore study the question OF
whether a municipal form OF govern
ment. witn men of high type as the
commissioners in charge Of the grant
ing of permits to build movlng-picture
theaters or to undertake other enter

than the present system.
study Would BE Profitable.
I'VE refrained from mentioning spe-
officially the commission form of gov
ernment because we merely had that
in mind in a general way. and had not
had an opportunity to study its ad-
vantages or disadvantages. We meant
to suggest that perhaps such study
would be profitable to the city.
1.-The grand jury's investigation in
connection with a theater case showed
that in some cases persons who in
troduced ordinances into the city
council We're unable to get them
passed, while others who were familiar
with the manner in which some things
were done and who employed certain
lawyers had no difficulty in getting
them passed. l do not mean to indi-
cate that the lawyers employed by
the latter did anything wrong.
But a situation was indicated in
which there were two different
classes-those who get their ordi-
nances passed without difficulty and
those who do not. That should not be.
A proposition should be considered
and acted upon on its merits"

BEHOLD THE MUSTACHE!
PROMISES TO BE STYLE;
NOTABLES SET FASHION

Special Gable to The Star.
LONDON, January THE great
mustache question is being re-
vived once more, and we may ex-
pect to hear a good deal on the
subject this year. There are Yari-
GUS impeliing circumstances. Those
gushing young persons who are
still torturing the English lam
guage for new phrases Of delight
over the royal engagement, have
noted, of course. that Lord Las
celles is the possessor of real
old-fashioned mustache, and the
heroes of newspaper serials should
be destined, therefore, to be
equipped with mustaches for some
little time to come.
To this must be added the thrill
ing discovery by our indefatigable
photographers, that one OF the
kings sons is now cultivating
mustache. and that neither he nor
Lord Lascelles is a supporter OF
the appalling toothbrush variety.
Further, we have in the public eye
just now such eminent wearers Of
the mustache as NJ. BRAND and
Mr.. Lloyd George, on whom the
eyes of the nation are turned; and
that other popular hero, Mr.. Mi
chael Collins, is also mustached.
Whence il comes that nameless
prophets in such matters foresee
return to the later Victorian
model.

WILL NOT Be MADE

Sentiment Is Not Unani-

Says Report
BANKERS MAKE REPORT
Reparations Commission
Indicates Some Op-
pose Going in
Try Associated Pressl

Paris, June S-All idea of an inter
national loan to Germany has been
given up by the committee of bank
ers, and they are meeting today to
agree upon the form of their report
to this effect which will be submitted
to the reparations commission.
The work of formulating the re-
port, it is stated, may take two or
three sittings.
The prevailing conviction among
the members of the bankers COM
mittee is that two things are neces-
sary to loan. First, there must be
unanimity among the lenders, which
were to include all the countries rep
resented on the reparations commits
sion; second, that the credit basis of
Germany must be outlined clearly.
The bankers look upon the repara-
tions commissions reply to their re-
cent note as nofficial declaration
that unanimity does not exist among
the prospective lenders, and there
fore feel that plans for loan cannot
be advised.
