New Treasury
Issue to Pay
42 Per Cent
McAdoo Fixes Rate for
$2,500,000,000 of
Certificates
Next Liberty
Loan in April
Higher Interest Than Last
Time Indicated by Sec?
retary's Action
WASHINGTON, Teh. 20.?future is
suea of Treasury certificates of indebt?
edness planned in preparation for the
third Liberty Loan will bear an intei-est
rnte of -Dj per cest, or ': per cent)
more than issues of the immediate past.
This announcement was made to?
night by Secretary McAdoo, together
with the statement that the $500,000,000
block of certificates, closed last week.
wa? subscribed in full only because
banks in New York and other big finan?
cial centres had taken more than their
share and offset the scanty subscrip?
tions from the rest of the country.
About $2,500,000,000 in certificates re?
main to be issued at the higher rate
before the third loan campaign, prob?
ably in -April, and the rate for all will
be 1% per cent.
Indication for Next Loan
Th'-s increase in the rate offers an in?
dication of the Treasury's perspective
on money market conditions which may
affect the next Liberty Loan. The sec?
ond Liberty Loan, issued at 4 per cent.
was preceded by several issues of cer?
tificates at 3V? per cent, but this rate
was increased to 1 per cent for the last
blocks before the second loan. A simi?
lar situation preceded the first loan,
which was at 3% per cent. In both
cases the interest rate of the loan was
(he same as the rate on the last issue
of certificates preceding.
Announcement of another issue of
certificates, pari of the $3,000,000,000
certificate programme in which banks
have been asked to participate by ap?
propriating 1 per cent of their total
resources weekly for purchase of the
? ?ertificates. is expected within another
week. The last block was announced
two weeks airo, and it was said then
Diat others would be ottered every two
weeks.
Receipts .from the last issue have
welled the net balance in the Treas?
ury to $1110,021,000 to-day, and dis?
bursements recently have been about
?40.000,000 a day.
Larger Ranks Exceed Share
Although the number of banks sub?
scribing to the last issue of certifi?
cates was twice that for Die preceding
'?lock. Secretary McAdoo said, "the
?.mount of subscriptions from the
country at large was distinctly
disappointing." The subscription of
the entire amount offered, said
the Secretary, "was due to the
patriotic action of the larger banks
in financial centre;;, notably New York,
? n taking more than their share of the
issue, and thus making up the defi?
ciency which arose from the failure of
other banks to respond to the request
made of them."
Only the New York and Kansas City
Federal Reserve districts exceeded
their allotment. The Minneapolis dis?
trict equalled its allotment.
It was disclosed by the Secretary's
announcement that some banks failed
to respond to the Secretary's appeal
two weeks ago to lay aside at least 1
per cent of their resources weekly for
ten weeks, to invest in certificates.
Another telegram is being sent to each
of these banks, and the request will be
followed up by the Treasury and
through the Federal Reserve Bank or?
ganizations.
Secretary Suggests Excuse
Secretary McAdoo suggested that the
: ailure of many banks to subf-cribe for
the last issue to the extent requested
may have been because of the short
time they had to prepare, or because
Diey failed to understand that 1 per
cent of their resources was sought
weekly, making 2 per cent to be in?
vested in each of the bi-weekly issues.
The Secretary added that the pro?
gramme of setting aside 1 per cent a
week was the minimum action re?
quested, and that many banks were ex?
pected to do better.
Holders of the 3% per cent bonds
of the first Liberty Loan may convert
Diem into any future issue at a higher
rate of interest, and the 4 per cent
bonds of the second loan, or converted
?"?'i-.-i. may be exchanged for bends of
the third loan only, unless Congress
provides otherwise.
Secretary McAdoo already has Con?
gressional authority to issue $3,666,
'100.000 more Liberty bonds, at a rate
to be prescribed by him. It will be.
necessary for him to obtain legislation
for additional issues if that amount is
to be exceeded foi the third loan.

War-Time Glimpse of Senate
With Dignity Off Its Guard
Even the Resemblance to Lincoln of Mr. Sherman Fails to
Rouse His Nineteen Hearers From Their Lethargy
?But Gallery Listens, Spellbound
By Ralph Block
WASHINGTON, Feb. BO. What do
members of Congress do with thoir
? spare, timo? What mus. be the Bonsa
? lions of William Jonen, hailing from
\ somewhere webt of the Missouri River,
i who expects to t'md the Senate a room
full of deliberate and majestic men, and
, then discovers nineteen sleepy Sen
; ators present- by actual count to hear
> one of thoir number ta?lk of important
railroad legislation ?
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, talked
, to the Senate yesterday. .Senator Shcr
i man is a small man, who is said by
| some to look like Abraham1 Lincoln.
j Possibly all those from certain sections
, of Illinois have a similar resemblance
| to Lincoln. At any rate, it is bard to
j believe that Lincoln talked like Shor
? man, for Sherman bas a bard, dry voice,
much' punctuated by pauses to gather
thought and momentum.
It was shortly before ?! o'clock. That
' may possibly be the hour when Sen
; ators. being human, feel the languor of
| digestion. Senator Sherman spoke on
the Republican side of the ?Senate
: Chamber. Near him, in the front row,
! Senator Galling'cr was writing at his
i desk. Senator Gronna was carefully
looking over a fat load of papers in
front of him. Senator Gore, not being
'' bound by the necessity of sight, had
I his back entirely turned *.o the speaker.
i Ueed Smoot, usually vibrant with at?
tention, however unfavorable, sat
slumped, watching Senator Sherman
i mournfully. Only o-ne Democrat, sut on
[ the other side of the chamber, and he
?was hidden by a hugely spread news
; paper. Mr. Marshall, the Yice-1'resi
; dent, had his bead in his hand.
Senator (?ore turned his chair around
after a bit. In Die galleries sat. the
| WiMiain Joneses and their wives and
j daughters, held spellbound by this peep
j behind the .?cones, with legislative dig
j nitv oflj its guard.
The scene was livelier in the House,
. although the audience was not so large.
; The subject of discussion was that of
longevity claims in the army. It is
concedeuly of not extreme importance,
but the Douse, with almost a third of
?its membership present, betrayed a
lively interest in the debate. Mr.'Can -
i non. of Illinois, restored to good health
and a frock coat, took the floor, an aped
; man who has a surprising vitality in
his voice, but whose speech seems to
puss through conventional forms of ut
' terance, acquired through years of
1 practice, rather than to act as the ex?
pression of new and fresb ideas.
There was some questioning by his
colleagues, but it wies half-hearted, Mr.
Cannon made a motion to strike out a
section of the legislation under dis?
cussion, the motion was lost in the
'? pounding of the gavel, and anothei
I speaker took the floor. Miss Rankin,
i of Montana, sat. in the rear of the
[chamber writing. Mr. Borland, <>t
?Missouri, walked down the aisle eating
?i red apple.
Rivers Bill, Cut
To $19,227,000,
Is Before House
Measure Calls for Smallest j
Total in Years; Only
One New Project
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20- The rivers I
, and harbors bill, carrying $19,227,000, j
i the smallest amount in years, was in- ?
! troduced to-day in the House. Only
one new project was included and no
provision was made for surveys.
Among the largest items are $5,000,
; 000 for continuing work on the Ohio
1 River, $2,200,000 for continuing work .
i i". the Last River at New York and $1,
700,000 for Southwest Pass, at the
mouth of the Mississippi.
In reducing the army engineers' < stj
mates from $29,507,000, the committee's
report says it acted for economy, but
without neglecting any river or harbor.
The Ohio River project is regarded as
particularly important now on account
: of the railroad situation, and the com
: ?r.ittee adopted the recommendation of
the army engineers <>f attempting to ,
I keep open a nine-foot channel from
; Henderson, Ivy., to Cairo, 111., by
i dredging rather than the plan of e\
i tending the lock system below Hcnder
I son.
The only new project included at the
request of the Shipping Hoard was that
? for the connecting channel between Los
\ Angeles and Long Beach, t'a!., needed
? to aid the shipbuilding programme.

Daniels Commends
Lieut. J. W. Glover
Captain G. I.. Garden, commander of
| the New York Division of the United
: States Coast Guard Service, stationed
at th? Barge Office at the Battery, made
! public yesterday a letter from Secrc
j tary Daniels to First Lieutenant of
! Engineers Jess?' W. Glover, now sta?
tioned here. The letter highly com
! mends Lieutenant (llover for his gal
I Ian try last June when the Coast Guard
steamer McCulloch, to which he was at
; tached, was sunk as the result of a col
! lision with the Pacific Steamship Com
1 pany's steamer, the Governor', off the
! California coasl.
The engines of the McCullcch had
. been installed under the personal su?
pervision of Lieutenant Glover. The
collision stove a great hole in the side
of the. McCulloch and the ship began to
sink rapidly. The order to abundon
ship had been given when Lieuten?
ant Glover asked permission to go be?
low, saying that he believed he could
save the ship. Two sailors -Germans,
but naturalized citizens?volunteered
to accompany him.
Despite the efforts of the officer and
j two seamen the ship continued to take
| water faster than the pumps could keep
it out, and they were finally ordered on
deck. Lieutenant Glover again asked
| permission to go below. Had .he done
so this time, Secretary Daniels's'letter
states, he would have almost inevitably
have lost his lit'?1. Permission was re?
fused, and a few minutes later the
boat sank.
School for Aliens'
Mothers Planned
The two most important questions
bet'ore the Board of Education at its
meeting yesterday were those of under
! nourishment of pupils and of Ameri?
canization of aliens in the classroom.
? In the former case a letter was read
' from the Civitas (Tub. of Brooklyn,
! urging the Board of Education to tak??
I over school lunchrooms in order that
the pupils might be assured of food at
I midday, Of this. President Arthur
? Somers said:
"This question should be carefully
? and thoroughly investigated. We will
' refer this suggestion to the Board of
Superintendents. It ir? ?t uifflcult prob?
lem. Even the Board of Aldermen is
1 in a quandary as to what is the mo.^t
advisable procedure."
i Tin- board probably will take up the
question again next week.
As a step toward Americanization it
was decided to reach mothers first, and
classes for the instruction of non
English speaking women will be he'd
every Thursday night in Public School
; OU, Manhattan.
Cue of the most peculiar situations
j in the annals of the board ?irosc when
a recommendation from the Board of
Superintendents was read advising that
' substitute teachers in Public School
120, Brooklyn, be paid $4 for each day
they work and that the teacher in per?
manent charge of that institution re?
ceive $0.00 a day.
When inquiry was made by Presi?
dent Somers it was disclosed that the
school ?a located on Barren Island and,
incidentally, that, the island is deceiv?
ing of it.^ name. Teachers serving there
are exiled for not less than a week,
for they must reach there Sunday nf
ternoon and cannot>leuve again until
the following Friday afternoon, be?

Senator Fletcher was requested to
aid Cue Department of Justice by sub?
mission of any information or sugges?
tions deemed pertinent, resulting from
the committee's investigation. The de?

[Special Correspondence]
SCHENECTADY, N.Y., Feb. 20.?The
Mohawk River here Las overflowed i's
banks and is rising at a rate which
threatens a record flood for Schenec?
tady and the vicinity The rapid rise
of the river as far as Canal Channel is
without parallel in the history of
Schenectady.
Unless the jam. extending for sev?
eral miles above Schenectady to n'tic
miles below the city, is moved, thou?
sands of persons in this city will be
forced to leave their homes. Scotia
Village, with its 4,000 inhabitants, was
entirely cut. oil' from direct, communica?
tion with Schenectady. "Phis cut off
trolley communication between the city
and tho village, also troHey communi?
cation between Schenectady and Am?
sterdam and cities to the west, includ?
ing Fonda, Johnstown and Glovcrs

An alarm was sounded at the Amer?
ican Locomotive Company's plant, call?
ing hundreds of workmen to save com?
pany property within the low water
level. Several of Die bigger foundries
between the river and Front Street
were inundated several feet, and it is
likely that work will have to be sus?
pended to-morrow in many of those
plants. , The American Locomotive

Up the Controversy

Pact for Duration
of War
| Staff ( 'orrcspondencc]
WASHINGTON. Feb. 'JO. William L.
i Hutcheson, president, of the Brothor
i liood of Carpenters and Joiners, to
Yliiv agreed to waive his "closed shopD
1 demand, which has beea the chief
' stumbling block to an adjustment ...
, the differences between the Shipping
', Hoard and the carpenters' organiza?
tion. Mr. Hutcheson so announce?! at
? a conTerence today attended by Gen?
eral Manager Fie/ of the Emergency
?Fleet. Corporation and the members ol
| the Labor Adjustment Board.
This clear,; the- way for ?i complete
. and satisfactory adjustment of the dif?
ferences between the government and
t'oe carpenters' union, which last week
precipitated strikes in the shipyards of
New York and Halt imorc.
It is now considered probable that
Hutcheson will sign the agreement to
abide by Hie decision of the Labor Ad
justment Hoard on till matter., pertain?
ing to wages and working conditions
during the war period, an agreement al?
ready negotiated by the government
with seventeen departments ,<f the
American Federation of Labor.
However, it. is further likely that, the
' Shipping Hoard will make some conces?
sions to llutchcson's organization.
These probably will take the shape of
.an agreement to permit a representa?
tive "f the Brotherhood of Carpenters
i and Joiners and a representative of. the
employers to : it. with the Labor Ad?
justment Hoard in tho settlement of
controversies in which the carpenters'
, union has a major interest.
Under the existing order the car
I penters have no representative on the
Labor Adjustment. Board, though at
,011e time a place on tho board was of?
fered to Hutcheson. A. J. Berros, the
labor representative on the hoard, is
president df the rectal trades section
of the American Federation of Labor
and under the present arrangement
represents all labor interests.
Negotiations between the head of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
and members oE the Labor Adjustment
Hoard will he continued to-morrow
morning at 11 o'clock. Officials of the
Shipping Board anticipate that Presi?

?the retiring president of the Institut", |
who .-aid the War Department was a-t

; ly reformed muckraker,
Mr. Colby plunged into a spirited
; defence of the government. Then he i
, turned to hi.; favorite subjects ship;,,:
j and more sh ips.
"I want to se?- an army of hundreds
of thousands of men marching to the'
shipyards every morning," said Mr.
? Colby. "There is where the safety
I of America lies to-day. I' would like
to hear bands playing as these same

"I do believe America has at last
really awakened. The last, six weeks, I
j think, have seen a totally different
I spirit abroad in tho land. We've turned
the corner; of that I'm sure. The might
of America has at last, started to enrol!.
The news from now on is. going to be
brighter and better."
France's Need Is Told
The engineers were greatly interest
; ed in what Captain Iv. E. Dulieux, a
French mining engineer who spoke for
-the French High Commission, had to
i say. Captain Dulieux's statement that
at the present time Germany held 80
| per cent of the iron mines of France,
?"?O per cent of 1km- coal mines and '<'A
per cent of her blast and --tee! furnaces
i caused an audible gasp of surprise.
"France is going to need American
i help more and more," .-aid the speak?
er. "She is going to need it most,
j in all probability, after the war is
over. Then, when she is fighting to
j recover* from the blows that have been
| dealt her, American invention and in
i genuity will prove her greatest bl< ss
! ing." The captain insisted thataGer
? man peace would place the whole world
? at the mercy of that country and
I warned his hearers against any idea
of making such peace, no matter how '
: alluring the argument for it. j
Others who spoke during the even- I
ing were: W. O. Hotchkiss, state ge- !
ologlst of Wisconsin, and Sidney -1.
Jennings, president-elect of the insl
: tute. The banquet brought this year's
! meeting of the organization to an end.
An idea of what has been done and
; ingoing to be done for cripped soldiers
was brought out in an interesting
! paper prepared by Major Frank B,
! Gilbreth, U. S. R. The paper was read
before the afternoon session of the
institute by Mrs. Gilbreth, her husband
