President Tells Bone Gov
ernment Is Seriously Con-
sidering Proposal.
SHORT-TERM DEBT
REDUCTION EXPECTED
Change to Long-Term Bond Issue
Would Relieve Treasury Of
Constant Turnover.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told Senator
Bone, Democrat, of Washington today
the administration Is seriously consider
ing a proposal to refund the high 10
terest rate Government bonds at .
lower level.
Senator Bone laid before the Presi-
to turn in their Government bonds in
exchange for bonds to be issued by the
Government at a lower interest rate.
Bone said the President told him
some plan to work this out was under
serious consideration.
There are about $4,000, 10000 in
Liberty bonds which are now callable
by the Government.
II do not know the technique or the
procedure to be adopted for such pro-
gram" said Senator Bone. My idea is
that public sentiment might be or
ganized behind the campaign on a pa
triotic basis. Such thing was ac-
comphshed in England"
$4,000, 100000 Outstanding.
The administration could refund up
to $4,000, 100000 of outstanding bonds
next year If it wished.
There are callable now 81 ,993, q 2 400
31a per cent interest and converted
bondss bearing 4 per cent and 4H per
cent interest
In addition, $6,268, ,095, ,250 of fourth
Liberty loan bonds bearing AZ per
cent interest can be called next April.
These were callable on October Is,
but six-month advance notice Is re-
quired. The notice was not issued on
April Is and the bonds therefore can
not be called prior to the next interest
date, on April is, and announcement
would have to be made on October IS.
There also is approximately $780,
100000 In Treasury notes that mature
in 1894.
Short Term Debt Slash.
Another feature of any funding pro-
gram Is expected to be a reduction of
the short-term debt.
Financial interests have looked for
some action in this respect for more
than year. This debt, composed Of
certificates Of Indebtedness and Treas
ury bills and Treasury notes, amounts
to more than 10000, ,000, 600. Of which
So, ,000, ,000. 900 Is In certificates and bills
running for less than one year.
BY funding this into a long-term
bond issue, the Treasury would be re-
heved Of having to arrange for q con-
slant turnover to meet the maturities
OF the short-term paper as 1t falls due
and would give wider latitude In han
ding its fiscal affairs.
The Treasury win have to refund
$373, ,856,500 OF certificates which
mature on June Is and at the same
time raise enough additional money to
oof -,.L
which win be incurred In starting
operations under the Presidents re-
employment program.
Announcement of this financing Is
expected from the Treasury this week.
1t is believed likely that the plan will
comprise long-term bond issue
amounting to approximately $3.50, ,00o,-
600 unless it Is decided to refund some
OF the outstanding long term securities.
In which case the amount could be
doubled or more.

JEWS IN S|LESA
TO GET OLD STATUS
Hitler Representative Makes
Pledge Before League
Council Meeting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June GA representative
of Chancellor Hitlers government
pledged his word before public League
of Nations Council meeting today thai
Germany will give back to Jews the po-
sitions they recently lost In German
Upper Silesia.
The question Of Germany's treatment
OF the Jews in Upper Silesia was
brought before the League Council or
May 20. when Franz Bernheim, a Ger
man Jew, presented a petition charg-
ing that the barring Of German jews
from professions in that area contra
venes q Polish German convention
guaranteeing certain rights regardles:
of race or religion.
Bitter Debate.
Caustic words passed between Fried
rich Won Keller, German representative;
Stephan Osusky Of Czechoslovakia and
the Norwegian representative, Christian
L. Iange, at the meeting today.
Herr Won Keller charged Lange with
having challenged the good word OF
Germany when the Norwegian referred
to the necessity of preventing local OIL
cials from misunderstanding the pur-
port of general laws and insisted that
Osusky went beyond the agenda when
he limited that the entire problem OF
minorities should be handled by the
League Assembly.
Recently the German representative
declared that If there had been any in
fractions OF the German-Polish con-
vention, this could only have been the
result Of subordinate acting in errone-
Gus conception of the law. He also
threw the responsibility for any discrim-
ination against Jews in Upper Silesia
upon German local authorities.
Denies Doubling Pledge.
To this summing up of the German
position Mr.. Osusky retorted:
IT have endeavored to deduce les
son from what has happened TO-DAY
It Is never premature, never useless
to make efforts to defend justice"
Mr.. Lange denied that be had doubt
ed Germany's intention to fulnu her
pledged word.

WINGARD FINDS ALASKA FAv0RS
 SUGGESTED CUT.
Bells Plan to Eliminate 100 Fish Traps Said
 to Be Endorsed


 traps now operating in Alaska during the 1894 season, as propos- ed by Commissioner Frank T. Bell, is warmly approved by Alaska fishing population and business interests now directly connected with the fishing industry, declared L. E. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, who re- turned yesterday from a weeks trip to the southern end of the Division.
 MT. Wingard will leave here next Saturday for Seattle on the Brant, taking Asst. Agent M. J. O'Connor, Warden Fred Lucas, Miss Bess O'Neil Miss Dorothy Aalbu, and Miss Bessie Yurman with him. Asst. Agent Shirley Baker will be picked up at Wran gell.
 Trap Reduction Popular
 The Commissioner trap reduc- ton proposal is evidently popu- lar in Southeast Alaska. During the past 30 days, MT. Wingard said he had talked with virtually all of the independent trapmen, oth- CT fishermen and other interests not directly engaged in the fishing industry about this matter. "Ev- erybcdy seemed well pleased with MT. Bells plan to eliminate lOO of the existing traps. They f-el it will directly benefit local fish ermen and give them the great est opportunity they have had in years to earn a comfortable living from their labor" he said.
 MT. Wingard expects to arrive in Seattle between Nov. and lO. He will immediately confer With his assistant agents and Warosns ahout conditions in their respective districts and go to work on the regulations for 1884 They will be drawn up after the arrival ol Commissioner Bell from Washing ton shortly after the middle of this month.
 Stream Clearing Delayed Due to delay in the allotment of funds for the proposed clearing of streams in Southeast Alaska initiation of that project will not start until after January l, MT wineard said. No funds have been allotted for the work by the Pup lie Works Administration which has the application of Gov. Jonh w. Troy before it.
 "If the funds are allotted as we hope they will be, it IS our n1an to start the work shortly = T. ter January i, and complete II before the beginning of the next fishing season. he said.
 MT. Wingard announced that Miss Yurman, attached to local bureau headquarters for several wears, has been detailed for at least two months at the Bureaus main headquarters in Washing ton. D. c. This detail may be con- tinued indefinitely, he said.
