HulIS statement was mace alLef
he had conferred with President
Roosevelt 1t followed by about two
hours a IL to II vote of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee in fav-
or of giving no further consideration
to revision of the neutrality law at
this session.
Disclosure of the adminiStra
TONS stand indicated to many that
President Roosevelt had no intention
of permitting the committees deci-
sion to stand in the way OF new leg
islation before adjournment If he
can swing a majority of the Senate
to his view.
This would mean a possibly bit
ter fight in the Senate over whether
to force the House-approved Bloom
bill out of the committee and to
the Senate floor, where administra-
ton leaders claim they can obtain
enough votes for repeal of the arms
embargo provision of the present
law.
That repeal is the heart of the ad-
ministration's program. Those who
voted to postpone in the Senate For
eign Relations Committee meeting
included Senator Reynolds, Demo-
crat, North Carolina.
President Roosevelt nominated
Paul V. McNutt to be Federal Sc
curity administrator. McNutt, who
now is American high commissioner
of the Philippines, has indicated he
will retain his present post for sew
eral weeks in order to clear up de-
tails.
The nomination, if confirmed will
bring into the administration a
Democrat whose candidacy for the
presidency in 1910 has been openly
advocated by his friends. Whether
President Roosevelt is giving him a
boost toward the Democratic nomi-
nation in 1910, or whether the Pres
ident is merely providing him a
chance to show what he can do,
was an argued point.

Claim Against 0'Hare
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Georee Re-
mus, kingpin of bootlegging during
the prohibition era, has filed a
claim for S196,700 in Probate Court
against the estate OF Edward j
OHare. race track operator who
was slain bv shotgun fire November
8, it was disclosed today.
Justus Chancellor, ST., counsel for
the plaintiff, said that the claim
represented balance Remus alleged
was due from OHare for LIQUOR
which O'Hare and 81 other persons
were convicted of stealing from
Remus' bonded warehouse in St.
Louis in 1923.
Remus was the chief prosecution
witness at the Federal Court trial
which resulted in O'Hare being SEN
fenced to serve a year in prison
and to pay a $500 fine.
The United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals in Cincinnati reversed
the O'Hare conviction three years
later and ordered a new trial. La
ter. O'Hare was reported to have ar
ranged a friendly adjudication of
his financial obligations to Remus,

s41O,896.47 and interest payments
would range from 1894, ,460.63 down
to $16,43586.
Under the proposed plan, it was
explained, If the District were au-
thorized to borrow the necessary
sum of nearly $100OO,O 900, the entire
District debt to the United States
could be repaid in one sum, saving
per cent interest payments for the
succeeding years, and, instead, the
District would assume a debt to the
banks for the same sum at what is
anticipated would be considerably
less interest rate. Under a lesser
loan from the banks, the saving
would be less, depending on the
amount of per cent interest the
District would be required to pay to
the United States.
District officials said some other
jurisdictions having P. w. A. loans
already were adopting similar re-
1undlng arrangements, on finding
that bank loans could be obtained at
cheaper interest rates than the 4
per cent Federal arrangement.
Official Points to Gain.
One District official said: IT do
not see how any interested party
would object to the proposed plan,
Tor it seems that every one would
stand to gain something. The Fed
eral Government would receive it's
loan funds back at an earlier date;
the banks would find a new ave-
nue. Tor profitable and secure in
vestment, and the District would
save interest charges and thereby
improve the financial situation of
the municipal government"
Two means of offering the legis-
latlon are open and one or both may
be adopted, if the Commissioners de-
eide to push the plan, it was said,
One would be to incorporate such
authorization in the District reor-
ganization bill, as one of the new
powers to the Commissioners. The
other would be to offer special.
specific legislation to cover the pres
ent existing P. w. A. debt. Or both
plans may be followed, one official
said.
In case such an authorization were
included in the reorganization meas
ure, onicials said, the terms would
be general so as to cover any posi-
PIE future Federal loans to the Dis
trict, but, they added, the terms
would be restricted to refinancing
arrangements rather than worded so
as to permit the Commissioners, on
their own volition. to contracted
debts tor the District.
