loans now total $600.000. This is the lowest figure on temporary loans the city has had charged against 1t in many years. With the borrowing of $400,0O0 more, the city's temporary loans will only total $1,O00,000. Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly was in Boston Monday and it is under stood that city finances were the cause of his visit there.
 The $1,090,O00 in bonds to be sold Friday night by the aldermen are divided into three issues. One million dollars worth of the bonds will be used in retiring the out standing temporary loans. Fifty thousand dollars will be used to better the water system in the western section of the city. The remaining $40,O00 will be used to finance the construction of a com munity house in Washington Park.
 The fact that the 1923 budget has already been adopted by the aldermen will enable the city to rush its borrowing of $400,000 in anticipation of incoming 1882 taxes.

MT. Mcfarland claimed that he did not furnish the tokens and did not redeem them in merchandise or money.

 "what kind do the boys want?" asked the court.
 "Oh, they want something that will pay them money" was the answer.
 "Is that the kind you want?"
 "No. I don't want any of them around the place. I wouldn't have one in the store," Mcfarland re- sponded with emphasis. Apparent ly he feels that machines whether they pay cash, mint. tokens or en- tertainment are only one kind of luck to him--hard luck.
 Attorney Membrino claimed that the type of machine found in MT. McFarland's possession was not in itself a gambling device. He ad- mitted that 1t would become one If Mr. Mcfarland bought the tokens back or accepted them in trade, but the police have no evidence of any o.tat. 4ro n aa nfiAna Afr MaEa s-la sa Hfa statements were very emphatic that he did not violate the law.

cies, he said, is as characteristic of the republican party as of MT Hoover.
 "In the 70 years of its existence,' he asserted, "the republican party has frequently been called upon to face a crisis, and each time 1t has risen to the occasion to the satis- faction of the American people,"
 Through all the current period of depression, he added, "the peo- pie have maintained their confl- dence in the policies and practical ideals of the republican party"
 The president, Hurley said, has been heavily overloaded due to lack of leadership in fields not proper ly his. Financial and business in- terests, he said, have called on MT Hoover to help them, and he has done so.
 The committees other business to-day was to fix the number of convention delegates for each state. Radical revisions were made neces- sary by shifts in membership in the house of representatives, the basis of the convention roll.
 The national committee, in de- ciding to hold the 1892 national convention at Chicago, June IA, is returning to the city where War ren G. Harding was nominated in 1920.
 In addition to reapportioning delegates according to the new con- gressional reapportionment, the committee arranged for certain southern states which voted for Mir Hoover in 1928 to get extra dele gates or keep those they already have, even though they would nor mally have lost under congressional reapportionment.
 Thus North Carolina, gaining one seat in congress, gains eight delegates to the convention; Vir- ginia, losing one congress seat, gains 10 convention delegates; Ten nessee, losing one congress seat, gains five bonus" delegates.

this subject. Whatever MT. McFad- den said, am sure members of this committee are capable of giving it whatever weight is due."
 Treadway, speaking more calmly, then said he probably had spoken hastily and with more feeling than he intended to show. He withdrew the motion but warned that if Me- Fadden repeated his charges before the committee he (Treadway) would move they be stricken from the committee record.
 Stimson and ogden Mills, under secretary of the treasury, both supported the moratorium in fur ther testimony. Stimson reviewed the developments which led up to the moratorium and said that the debt holiday represented "only what a wise creditor would have done."
 He presented to the committee the letter President von linden burg of Germany wrote to MT Hoover June 20 appealing for American aid in Germany's crisis.
 Mills told the senate finance developments which caused the
 
 May, that the latest manifestation was Japan's action in going off the gold standard and that "the final outcome is not insight"
 "As early as June 12 men like Owen D. Young, s. Parker Gilbert and Governor Harrison of the New York federal reserve bank had be- come convinced that something should be done," he said. "It was not until June 20 that the presi- dent made up his mind" Mills described talk of "a run on the dollar" as "sheer nonsense"
 Stimson took occasion to deny two charges he said had been brought against the moratorium.
 Many people say that we were the only nation which made any sacrifice in this moratorium" Stim- son said.
 He cited figures of population and per capita debt liability of the United States, France, Great Brit ain. Belgium and Italy to refute this.
 "The other statement" he said, "is that the purpose of this whole arrangement Is to withdraw from Germany improvident loans" The purpose of the moratorium and the subsequent conference in London in July, he explained, was to stop withdrawal of funds from Germany.
 "The purpose was just the op- posite of that with which the gov- ernment has been accused" Stim- son said.
 ''It was to persuade those who | had loans in Germany that the ments was to improve conditions in Germany" Stimson was asked by Represen- tative Crisp, democrat, Georgia, to tell the committee. if he could, whether European nations would ask for an extension of the one- year moratorium.
 "Mr Crisp, think I have no better information than what you have in current information in the press," Stimson replied. Nothing has been brought to my attention"
 Washington, Dec 16-(UP)- Secretary of State Stimson was called before the House ways and means committee to-day to com plete the administration defense of President Hoover's foreign debt moratorium, bitterly attacked in congress yesterday.
 Stimson was expected to go over somewhat the same ground as Un- der-Secretary of Treasury ogden l.. Mills, who defended the debt suspension yesterday in an impas- stoned plea for ratification. Mills

 Chairman Collier said he expect ed to complete committee consid- eration of the moratorium bill to- day as the House can take 1t up tomorrow. He will give some time to opponents of the project, two of whom, Representatives Rankin, democrat, Mississippi, and McFad- den, republican, Pennsylvania, have asked formally for a hear ing.
 The senate finance committee also took up the moratorium to- day. Mills appeared before 1t in executive session to explain again the purpose of the debt holiday. The committee also expected to or ganize for the investigation of in- ternationa1 banking asked by Sem ator Johnson, republican, Califor- mia.
 The committee decided to begin the Johnson investigation at 10 a. m. Friday. Witnesses to be sub- poenaed will be announced later.
 Atmosphere is growing bitter in both senate and house as congress prepares to consider the proposal.
 While Mills paced up and down before the committee with his emotional plea, President Hoover was subjected to a vitriolic attack in the House by McF'adden, who was chairman of the important banking and currency committee before democrats assumed control. The Pennsylvanian accused the chief executive of conducting the moratorium negotiations "like an power," and charged MT Hoover His tirade became so intense that democrats were stirred, and cheered defense of the president by another republican, Representa- tive Cfiperfield, Indiana.

Seats for 5000.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 29.-Under
Coach George Findlayson, the Naval
Academy lacrosse team has had its last
hard practice In preparation for tomor-
rows game here with Maryland.
The game means everything to the
Naval Academy so far as lacrosse goes,
Maryland being the ony team of the
highest caliber which has a place on its
schedule this year. While the naval
team has made great record in its six
preliminary games, the result of the
season turns upon Saturdays game.
No change in the Navy lineup has
been announced except that Gilbert
rather than West. is likely to be chosen
for the center position. He has had
one season less experience, but seems
to have the edge on West.
The Navy is not depending exclusively
on any player to get through the Mary
land goalie. but is placing much of its
hopes on Moncure, Morrow, O'Neill and
Castree.
Seating capacity will positively be
limited to 5000 and easily that num-
Der will be anxious to see the game.
There is some room for standees, but
only few can expect to get o good
view Of the field.
