British Debt
Funding Plans
Five Billion Owed To United
States-Plans or Britain
Carefully Guarded
tBy United pressD

washington, Jan. IA deter
mined effort to harmonic differ
ences growing out of the concrete
proposal of British debt mission
for funding the five billion dollar
British debt to the United States
was undertaken at a meeting OF
the two commissions today.
Pending a reply to cabled quer-
les addressed by the British dele
CATION to their home government,
Yesterdays meeting was called off
With but four more meetings IN
which to reach the expected "ten-
tative agreement" if the British
mission is to sail for London Sat
urday on schedule time, both bod
les will exert their utmost, begin
ming today to iron out the differ
ences which have cropped up.
The British proposal for putting
the debt into permanent funded
shape is as yet a guarded secret by
the American commission but suf-
ficient has been revealed to indi-
cate the points on which the two
delegations are in conflict.
The first of these is the period
of time over which repayment Of
the principal sum is to be effected
The British delegation. it is I'M
derstood, has proposed that fund
inc. be accomplished over a term
Of Sc years, or maturity of the
principal in 1898. Such period
it is argued by the British, would
enable them to undertake annual
payments Of a size which could be
readily met under almost all con-
ditions, without danger of lapsing
or without imposing too great
burden on the already heavily
taxed British people.
The American commission OPP
poses this term as too long and
has proposed as an alternative a
period of 80 years, it is said. This
term, double that now authorized
by the debt refunding act.
The second point of difference
is the rate of interest to be
charged. Premier Bonar Law is
said to have instructed the Brit
ish mission to ask fer rate not
in excess of 3 per cent.
The American position on the
interest is that it should be low
enough to be compatible with the
British ability to meet it, yet not
SO far below the 1-2 per cent
which the American government
is paying for the bulk of money
borrowed in the Liberty loans,
that this country would suffer a
great loss in making terms to
England.
Congress, it is understood. would
be almort certain to reject an
agreement" which would commit
this country to bearing the burden
of the difference between 4 1-2
per cent paid by the treasury.

New York, Jan. 17.--Rube Ben
ton IS not good enough to pitch
ball in the American League, by
an olicial mandate of Ban john
son.
Benton ISN'T wanted in the Nat
ional League because John Hey
der. president of the league, and
Barney Dreyfuss, owner Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, think ne isn't
good enough.
But Benton is good enough fol
the American Association, and
ne probably VIII return to st,
Paul, if organized baseball will
not let him play with the Gin
cinnati Reds.
This is one of the inconsistent
.cies that makes a joke out of or
eanized baseball-that exposes its
mercenary motives and its petty
little iealOusies.
The National and the American
Leagues belong to organized base
ball, and so does the American
Association.
Benton may not be able to play
in the major leagues, but he no
doubt will be allowed to continue
in the minors.
What does organized baseball
mean?
If Benton has done anything
that makes him undesirable as
a major league ball player, he
should be thrown oUt Of baseball.
If he is Innocent of the charges
and whispers made agaiaSt him,
his accusers ought to be thrown
out of the game.
Ban Johnson bases his objec-
ton to the admission of Benton
to the American League on the
story that Benton knew the 1919
series had been fixed and that he
be. and won $500 on it.

that ne was a National League

Heydler's objection TO Benton
is more of a secret. 1t probably
has something to DO with the
row between the former Giant
pitcher and Charley Herzog, in
which each accused the other of
making overtures TO throw a game
Heydler unofiicially whitewaShed
Benton of those charges, by al
lowing him to remain in the lea
que while Herzog went elsewhere.
The objections Of Barney Drey-
fuss to the return of Benton are
the result of both mercenary and
personal motives. Since Herr

RETAINS MYSTERY
Rita Weiman's Famous Play,
The Acquittal,' AT The
Rylander

Sitting through a tense mystery,
in which one pits ones wits against
the characters of the play is tho
strange pastime theater-goers will
behold when The Acquittap' comes
to the Rylander Theater next Thurs
day and Friday.
It's a play of suspicion; the au-
dience suspects every character in
the play in turn as evidence points
one way, then another, enmeshing
men and women in its circumstan-
tial tolls until the dramatic climax.
They don't know if the leading man
is the hero or the villain, until the
climax. They don't know if the
sinister butler in the mystery house
hold is saint or a sinner, until the
final scene. They wonder and sus-
pect, and suspect some more, with
out avail,
THE Acquittal' is to the screen
what the "The Bat" was to the
stage and Rita Weiman's play is
literally put under microscope in
the astounding offering.
The huge court room, in which
several hundred people appear is
one of the outstanding features
with witness after witness taking
stand, the testimony being pictur-
eG in action as the story Is told to
