Many members of Councils on both
des of the present loan eontroversy
jhave realized that Director Krusen's
request is urgent and it is probable
that his action will bring peace among
the warring factions.

tion of children s hospital.
Vital, He Declares
"It is vital," said Director lvrusen
today, "that this monej should be pro
vided.' I have plans completed andcan
put ithem under contract ht once. In
the event of a hard winter we could not
properly care, for the 2100 patients now
liin the Philadelphia General Hospital.
They would suffer greatly, as the old
enuinment. is entlrelv- inndenuntp. This
.IS entirely too serious a nucstion to be

,J-amberton today.
The-lndependcnts killed thexS14.7G0.-
hOQO. loan wlien it came up for vote last
--flursday in Common Council. The
vadmlnistration needed a two-thirds
l.voteto pass the measure. The oppo-
I sltion'of the independents, with some
am trom other aim-v nre interests in
Common Council, made this impossible.
"Whether the indenendents will com
promise," said Mr. Lambcrton today.
depends on what you mean by the
terra. We emphatically will not com
promise, merely in the spirit of com
promise. That is to say, wc will not
yield one point just for the hake of
gaining another.
Want mil to Tass
"We are eager for the passage of the
,bHl. We feel that our amendments
were conservative rather than excessive.
If we are. shown that wc were wrong
I in any of the cuts made in the amend-
I'ment we will gladly yield, but we will
not yie.a u we uil- iiui cuui juut-u mat

Chairman Lambcrton objected to hav
ing it said that the Penrose interests in
Common Council were instrumental to a
large degree In defeating the bill.
"Mr. liauney s statement yesterday
indicated that the Penrose element had
a good deal to do with the defeat of
the loan," said Mr. Lamberton. "They
'are always shouting Penrose, Penrose,
Penrose! If jou look over the list of
members voting jou will find that
scarcely any of them voted against the
bill. Beginning with Rollo Dance, of
Ihe Tenth ward, and going right down
the list, '.vou will see that the Penrose
men voted with tlje Vare men for the
'bill. It was defeated by Independent
votes.

PHILADELPHIANS ABOARD
The transport Ohioan docked at Sny
der avenue wharf at 0.41 o'clock this
morning after nn uneventful trip up
the Delaware River, during which the
customary blowing of whistles and the
cheers and salutes of workmen on the
river banks were sadly lacking.
The twenty-six officers and 1399 men
aboard the transport received Urtu-
ally no welcome. The little police tug
Ashbridge failed to get more than 300
yards from the wharf before the Ohioan
arrived. It carried the parents and
fiaucee of one man aboard the trans-
(-port. The Fourth Naval District baud,
three girls of the Jewihh Welfare
Ronrd, and n few men and women
whose curiosity rather than interest in
the returning troops prompted them to
go aboard made up the rest of the Ash
bridge's "passengeV list."
Not a whistle was blown nt either
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, at League
Island, or at the Hog Island shipyards.
On the wharf, two women, a man
and a boy formed the "crowd" that
greeted the boys. A large force of can
teen workers of the Red Cross and -a
few members of other women's war
work organizations in this city made
up the official "reception committee."
The Ohioan drew up to the pier at
9:25 o'clock and was tied fast in the
record time of sixteen minutes. The
Naval Band played, the Red Cross
workers cheered, and that was all. The
men were hustled aboard troop trains

THAT WAS SOME CHASE
Patrolman Runs Twelve Blocks to
Capture Alleged Hold-Up Artist
Richard Bloenker, twenty-two years
old, of Fiftieth anTT Pine streets, ac
knowledges Patrolman Miller, of he
Tenth and Buttonwood station, is some
sprinter. And Miller avows that
Bloenker has some speed himself. They
tested their abilities in a chase of
twelve biocKs mat enueu in the arrest
of Bloenker ns an alleged highwayman
and the complete exhaustion of both
the policeman and the accused hold-up
man.
Miller says he rounded a corner at
Dleventh and Green streets about 11
o'clock last night just in time to see
Bloenker level a pistol nt a man's head.
The victim was Richard Arndt, 040
North Franklin street. He was accomv
panied by a young woman whose name
was not given. Bloenker is charged
with trying to bold up and rob the
couin.
When he sa,w the policeman he
started the race, going out Green to
Broad, south to Vine and turning squth
again on Fifteenth and going toward
Sixteenth on Arch. Ferris, a patrol
man of the Fifteenth and Vine streets,

as Miller and Bloenker both dropped

conviction is from six to nine months.'
The docket at the district attorney
office shows that many alleged auto
thieves forfeit their bail rather than
stand trial. The bail is generally fixed
at n sum about equal to the value of
the car stolen.
Judge Gorman in the Municipal
Court has frequently suspended sen
ence after the jury had found offenders
guilty, but recommended them to the
merrv nf the court. Others were placed
under ?1000 bond to keep the pcaco.
So many stolen automobiles recovered
by the police are not claimed by the
owners that frequent sales nre held at
the citj van stables on South Eleventh
street, the proceeds going into the city
treasury.

LEAGUE FOES PLAN
Opponents of World Covenant
Will Attempt to Force

MAY DEOLARE WAR AT END
Only 36 Votes for Knox
Resolution, Poll Shoivs
Assured defeat awaits the Knox
resolution, if its supporters force n
test vote in the Senrte. According
to New York Times, the motion to
separate the peace t-eaty from the
league of nations covenant cannot
obtain more than thirty-five or thirty-six
votes.
By the Associated Press
Washington, June 21. Under n plan
framed today by Senate opponents of
the league of nations, nn effort will be
made Monday to secure a test vote on
Senator Knox's resolution declaring
opposition to acceptance of the league
covenant as now intertwined with the
pence terms.
It is considered likely thnt later next
vvcek an effort may be made to pass a
resolution declaring the war at an end
so as to relieve Congress of blame for
delaying peace conditions should rati
fication f the treaty be delayed.
While the Senate was threshing over
issues of the league of nations contro
versy in four hours of running debate
lesterdnv. leacue opponents started a
revival of sentiment for some definite
action on the subject.
The debate, which several times ran
Into hitter nassa.es, turned, up a new
Issue when it was charged that the
Ueague would have a majority of Roman
Cntholic members who might be innu
enced to bring the whole civilized world
under the domination of the Vntlcan.
The discussion outside the Senate
chamber regarding the course of league
opponents developed considerable dif
ference of opinion among the leaders
and failed to produce any definite plan
of action. It was said, however, that
progress had been made toward an
agreement nnd that the conferences
would continue today.
