WASHINGTON, June 3.-Presiden'
Harding stepped to-day directly into
the legislative tie-up in Congress
which is delaying consideration OF
the ship subsidy bill summoning 10
the White House the House leaders
charged with the responsibility in that
question, he vigorously impressed upon
them the need for speedy enactment Of
the measure framed BY the Shipping
Board under his direction 70 stimulate
American shipping and foreign com
mercc.
The Administration leaders Of the
lower house returned 70 the Captol II
was learned. pledged % leave nothing
undone which may help disposal Of the
subsidy bill before adjournment OF the
present session Though they eN-
pressed 10 the Executive frank skepti-
cism as 70 the chances for action IN
the Senate before the winter session.
'hev agreed 20 counsel next week with
every element in the House which may
contribute toward pushing the bill and
return 10 the White House at the END
of that time 70 report results. This Is
understood 20 be the only concrete ac-
complishment OF the conference to-day,
attended Big Speaker Gillett, Republi-
can Floor Leader Nondell, Chairman
Campbell Of the Rules Committee;
Chairman Greene Of the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries Committee ard
lis ranking Republican member Rep
resentative George " Edmonds, Of
Pennsylvania.
Chairman Greene announced immedi-
atelv pfter the meeting az the Execu-
tive Office that his committee will be
ready 70 present the bill 20 the House
within two weeks.
II was conceded By Mondell and the
other members OF the delegation, II was
stated later. that sentiment m the
House upon the question Of Federal
ship subvention will force changes IN
important features OF the bill before
IL can be sent TO the Senate. There
Is such strong hostility among some
Western Republicans and on the Demo
cratic side that It's passage hinges en-
tirely upon willingness 10 permit
great amount Of rewriting, u was de-
clared.
The House leaders have the choice Of
seeking a gag rule. which would force
a straight vote Of acceptance or rejee-
tion Of the bill as originally approved
by the President. but Il is understood
the chances Of following this course
are so remote they were not discussed
At all to-day.
Incidentally. House members e1-
pressed themselves feelingly 70 the
Executive over the Seaate's slowness in
getting out Of the way tho vari Gus

dar They told the President that the
real job OF passing the subsidy meas
ure is in the upper body and that IN

aetment Of the bill.

TRAVERSE CITY. Mich, June g.
Mayor L. Swanton to-day modified his
recent ediot calling for the arrest Of
any woman who appeared on the streets
of the city clad in knockerbockers. The
hght waged by the women was TO hot

rendered in the face Of overwhelming
forces.
But there il a provision which goes
with the Mayors bsekdown and that Is
that wearers Of the knickers must con-
duct themselves becomingly on the
streets. During the last few weeks
Young men were severely criticized be-
cause they had aeeosted bloomer-elad
women on the streets. Commenting on
this, the Mayor said:
II believe that much Of this criticism
was because Of the action OF the
women. You seldom hear Of women
who conduct themselves properly be-
ing aecosted by men. Perhaps the ac-
tions of the girls and women was be-
cause Of the novelty Of the costume"

PARIS, June al. P. Morgan, Amer

chairman, VI. Delacroix, will propose a

bankers have put 10 the Reparation

prospective debtor. The bankers in
their communication allude in no way

Nevertheless. those near the members
Of the PREPARATION Commission take the
bankers inquiries 20 mean that they
do not see how any loan can be made
10 Germany without first determining
her assets and the amount OF her
eventual liabilities.
Chairman Dubois Of the Reparstion
Commission has called a meeting Of
the commission for Tuesday. He al
ready has been instructed. as Premier
Poincarc announced in the Chamber Of
Deputies last night. not 70 approve any
reduction in German reparations. II
is considered not improbable. however,
that the commission may say 70 the
bankers in effect: Report al that is
in your minds, and We will at least ex-
anime your views"
Should the commission decide il 10

they have at present, then the bankers
will consider their work ended for the
