The international committee ofbankers, including: J. P. Morgran, whichhas been studying: the prospects foran international loan for Germany,when It meets agraln Wednesday next
hopes to have more definite informationfrom the Reparations Commissionas to the limits its discussionsmay reach and the scope of any recommendationswhich the world bankersdeem essential to the success ofany loan.The adjournment has caused much
concern, besides numerous unfoundedrumors as to the difficulties arising intheir conferences, as well as suggestionsof differences among the bankersthemselves.The Journal des Debats to-night Insiststhat there has been a break over
the intention of the bankers to recommendthe writing down of Germany'sreparation, indebtedness, whichthe French Government, with a
strongly nationalistic Parliament behindIt, declares must remain unchanged.The' New York Heralp correspondenthas been assured that these allegeddifferences have not yet been

The frenzied attempts of SenateFinance Chairman MeCumber to rushthe bonus raid to a vote has not affectedthe position of President Hardingin the slightest degree.Information of direct character came
from the White House to-day that thePresident is not "wabbling" as some'of the bonus Senators hnve attemptedto make it appear.
Several Senators and other personswho talked with the President this afternoonhave the very best reason forknowing he is still opposed to anybonus project that does not carry a
sales tax and that he is further of thebelief that the bonus bill should beabandoned for the time being.
Reiteration of the President's posi-tion did not have the slightest effect,however, on the plans of the Senatorswho attach unwarranted importanceto the political influence of the AmericanLegion officials, which results ofrecent primaries prove to be a glaringfallacy.
Feverish Political Chase.
Mr. McCumber and other Senators,who have worked themselves Into a
high state of excitement over the politicalinfluence of the organizationcreated for non-partisan and purelypatriotic purposes, are going aheadwith their scheme to put through a
bonus bill. They will make their trywith the Fordney-Mondell measure,
which the President has indicated hewjll not accept, but which Mr. McCumberhas adopted in large part as
the basis for the bill whlcn carries hisname.
That measure will be formally reportedto the Senate on Monday withwhat are Intended to be* "solemn ceremonies,"warranted only by a declarationof war or the reestablishment o.'peace through Congressional action.
Officials of the American Legion are
going to make the event a "*olemnceremony." When the movie maehlnerhave been properly placed a ">and andvaliant escort of bonus seekers willescort Mr. McCumber and his bill fromthe Finance Committee room to theSenate Chamber. Movie rights will b.?granted "free gratis" to Mr. McCumberand other bonus Senators for use I"their primary contests in their r*-

Motion Certain of Defeat.
After the "solemn ceremony" hasbeen completed Mr. McCtimber's billwill be before the Senate. He j»doubtedlywill attempt to have It consideredat once either by unanimousconsent or a motion to displace thetariff measure. It Is of Incidental Interestthat the President to-day causedIt to be known that he does not favorthe withdrawal of the tariff fr.r anypurpose, but Is of the opinion thn»Congress should pnsa the meaiurethe present session.Any move made by Mr. McCumber

RS UNCERTAINvr OF POWERSain a Clearer InterpretationCommission Regardingranging a Loan.
structions of the Reparations Commissionwere not as clear as some desired,leaving doubts as to the scopeof their deliberations and any eventualsuggestions.
"Naturally," said one banking expertto-day, "the committee, beingcomposed of men of practical bankingexperience, does not wish to makesuggestions for any loan except on a
basis which will protect the lenders.It was this alone which necessitatedan adjournment, and the ReparationsCommission will be able, between nowand next Wednesday, to give a clearerinterpretation of Just what the committee'srole is to be.*"
It was pointed out that the actualdecision to float a loan, as well as thedetails of I.ow it could be distributed,do not fall within the Jurisdiction ofthe bankers themselves, the Governmentsrepresented on the ReparationsCommission and Germany herself havingthe Anal voice In these matters.
It was insisted to-day that the committeethus far has satisfied itself onone point.that international confidencein the future of Europe is possibleonly if the entente of England andFrance is established. As to the sl'/eany loan may attain and the conditionsunder which it will be possible,the bankers have decided to refrainfrom personal expressions until theyknow the attitude the Reparationscommission will take toward theirassuming the "mandate to study" thesituation in the fullest sense of tbeword.

New Jersey Attorney-GeneralAsks Special Prosecutor for
Morristown Case.
Special Dispatch to Tirr N'rw Toik Hbkaid.Morkistown, X. J., June 2.-»-The
May term of the Morris county GrandJury returned an Indictment to-nightagainst Francis Kluxen. Jr., J 7, charginghim with the murder of JanetteLawrence, 12, in Kluxen's Woods, nearMadison, last October 6. The boy was
arrested and locked up in the Morriscounty jail. He refused to make a
statement.It is expected Justice Parker of the
Supreme Court, who received the indictment,will set a date for the trialsoon, but before he does so he mustappoint a special prosecutor to handlethe case for the State. Thomas McCran,Attorney-General of Xew Jersey,presented the case to the Grand Juryand aided in obtaining most of theevidence on which young Kluxen wa.s
indicted, but last night after the courthad received the indictment he askedto be relieved.Mr. McCran said he did not cars to
be connected with the case any longer,and that he would not have time tohandle It, as he had made arrangementsto go to Europe for the summerand expects to sail within a few days.He also asked that County ProsecutorJohn M. Mills be suspended from anyconnection with the case, and asked thecourt to name a special prosecutor.Prosecutor >1 ills, except for giving the
Attorney-General some assistance Incollecting evidence, has had no connec-tion with the case since Frank Jancarek,a laborer, was tried for the crime andacquitted. Even before the Jancarektrial-the attitude or Mr. Mills was so
displeasing to the city authorities andthe residents of Madison that severalmemorials and petitions were sent tothe Attorney-G«*neral asking that Millsbe taken off the case. The clamor andthe feeling finally beams so strongthat Mr. MeCran removed Mr. Millsand handled the case himself.Young Kluxen was the first person
arrested after the body of the Lawrencegirl had been found in the woods ownedby his father near the Kluxen home.He admitted at the time that he hadbeen In the woods about the time thegirl was here, but said he had beenchasing a pet rabbit which had escapedand had not seen her. The boy waslodged In Jail at the time, but a fewdays later Mr. Mills told Justice Parkerhe had no evidence against youngKluxen and asked that the boy headmitted to bail. This was done.

the police of Stamford, spent severalhours In the Connecticut city lookingfor the wounded Jackson, who. If CunninghamIs to be believed, was takento a hospital or a physician's home inStamford early in the morning ofMay 16, and for Charles Rogers, thechauffeur who drove the car.

physicians not only of Stamford butof other towns disclosed no patientwho could be Jackson. A CharlesRogers was found, and he formerlyowned a Hudson Super-six, the kind ofcar In which Cunningham says he andthe Rogers of his story hustled theunconscious Jackson across the Stateline after the shooting, which, Cunninghamintimated, took place in theWard home in New Rochelle.Private detectives who talked to Cunninghamin White Plains Jail yesterday
were unable to get any new admissions.It was their opinion after the talk thathe Is a faker desperately In need ofmoney. He admited he was down andout. The detectives sfcy he rerused toanswer many of their questions, hutrdmltted that everything in the afflda-vits he made was hearsay evidenceand that beford he signed them he hadthe words 'hearsay evidence" writtenon them.

although he did know a man of thename of Cunningham In N'»w York itwas not the Jim Cunningham now inthe White Plains Jail and that he hadnever carried any Bill or Joe Jacksonanywhere, sound or injured. As theStamford Rogers did not match In anywayexo?pt age the description given byCunningham, the Sheriff, after duemeditation, came to the conclusion thatthey had not got hold of the man theywanted.

tired as president of the company andhad been named chairman of a newlycreated executive committee, and thatAlexander Legge, who started withthe concern as a salesman, had beenelected president.Another announcement was tha:
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormickhad dropped her legal fight to enjointhe marriage of her daughter Ma-thilde to Max Oser. whom she accusesof being a fortune hunter.The retirement of Mr. McCormick
started rumors that he would hasten toEurope to assist at the marriage ofMathllde to Oser or that he would go toParis to become the husband of GannaWalska, grand opera singer.
Mr. McCormick. however, stated thatas head of the executive committee ofthe Harvester concern he "could givemore time to policies and the largerquestions which arise" and that he didnot contemplate "any diminution" inservice to the company. The change hadbeen in contemplation for a year, hesaid.

posed to this match." he said. "She hasalways been trying throug:. conferenceswith Mr. McCormick to offset It in someresponsible way. Then the marriageseemed Inevitable so she took the courtaction.
Mr Rnrbefeller's views have been
plain concerning such foreign alliances.He lias been quoted frequently in East-f-rn newspapers that none of his wealthwould be taken abroad."
Asked If he believed Mr. McCormickknew Oaer thoroughly, Mr. Cutting replied"Mr. McCormick is an indulgent

Senator Declined to HelpBrokerage Get Back Its Wire
Service, He Asserts.
Several pages have been torn fromthe books of E. D. Dier & Co., the defunctbrokerage, and are missing. Thiswas brought out yesterday at the con-linuation of the bankruptcy hearingbefore Seaman Miller, referee, at ?Rector street.
Other testimony related to State SenatorClayton R. Lusk, Arthur G. Hays,ittorney for the receiver, drawing fromFred Andrews, cashier for Dier. thestatement that Andrews had paid SenatorLusk $5,000 for legal services inconnection with the efforts to getback the ticker service for Dier.The lost pages, said witnesses, cn r-
ried the statements on securities thatCharles A. Stoneham & Co. turnedover to Hughes & Dier when theStoneham firm went out of business.Mr. Hays said after the hearing thatthe fact that the books had beentampered with certainly did not re-
fleet in any way on Mr. Stoneham.
Pages Rewritten by Stroh.John L. Dodenhoff, who until a short
time before the failure was in chsrge ofDier's bookkeeping department, saw thebooks and testified that pages from 78to 81, dated'in April and May of lastvear. were missing and aDnarentlv hadbeen torn from the book Page 59 was
missing and also pages 65 and 66.With reference to one group of the
missing Sheets.the book being of theloose-leaf variety.the witness said hehad questioned August Stroh. Andrews'sson-in-law, and that Stroh had said hehad had them but could not find themwhen he was told to look for them.Dodenhoff testified that In his judgment,based on his knowledge of thebooks, the missing pages related to theStoneham transactions.Stroh, who had been out of the room,
was called and testified that the sheetswere missing, but could not tell whatbecame of them. He recalled they hadbeen written up In the cashier's departmentand then that they related to theStoneham transactions. There had beennecessary rewriting on some of thesheets, he said, and he thought Brooks,the accountant, had done the final re-writing, though he had rewritten someof the sheet*.Stroh was haay about the reason for
the rewriting:, but said the firm constantlywas checking: up the securitiesreceived from Stoneham and also "securitiesthat Stoneham still owed to thefirm." Stroh also testified regardingwhat Mr. Mays thought was a falseentry in one of his books, but which heinsisted was not.

the payment to Senator Lusk by personalcheck, for which he later wasreimbursed out of the Dier funds.Mr. Mays did not go into the matter
deeply, but said after the hearing thathe presumed the payment to SenatorLusk was for legal services.Andrews at a previous hearing was
asked regarding payment of $.",000 bycheck made to hint by Hughes & Dier inMarch. 1921. He said he had refreshedhis memory since he testified that hewas not able to remember what thepayment was for."That was In repayment for a check T

HID MERGER. IT IS SAID
Ron us to Bankers and $20,000.000to Create Market inNew Shares Criticised.
Judge Klbert H. Gary, chairman nfthe board of the United States SteelCorporation, was examined on hiscompany's affairs by Samuel Untermyerbefore the Uockwood HousingCommittee yesterday. Although disagreeingwith Mr. Untermver in sev-
era! important particulars, Judge Garyadmitted that the Steel Corporationenjoyed a preferential of at least $3 a. 'Bton on its manufactured products, as
testified to previously by heads of in- ^Bdependent companies, and that this ^Bmeant additional profits of about 131,- ^B000,000 a year on the present output.Although differing in the effect of/
the corporation's partial control of thesteel industry. Judge Gary's examinationproceeded without acrimony or
even friction. In this respect it was
in marked contrast to that of JohnA. Topping, chairman of the board ofthe Republic Iron and Steel Company,and A. C. Dinkey, president of theMidvale, who were examined regardingthe merger of their companies andthe Inland Steel Company, announcedThursday.t'ntermj-er Charges Sapprraalon,Such details of the last named mer
ger as were announced on Thursdaynight were published in The NewYork Herald yesterday, and tradingbegan in the stock of the new comipary on the curb market on a whenIssued haais. Mr. Untermyer chargedMr. Topping and Mr. Dinkey with deliberatelysuppressing details of thomerger from the press and the public.He pointed out that the public hadnot been informed of an agreementby which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. arc to
11 underwrite the new issue of stock ofthe North American Steel Company,receive a bonus and provide a $20,- A000.000 fund for trading purposes te Mcreate a market for the new issue.Members of the committee character'ized the proposed merger and lite cir:cumstances of its announcement "'ore
of the rawest deals ever put over." Sir.I'nterinyer bluntly Informed Mr. Toppingthat the committee was outragedat the attitude of himself and Mr. Dinkeywith regard to the merger. In thelate afternoon Mr. Topping was sum
marlly ordered from the witness standto produce the memorandum of agreementwith Kuhn. Loeb g; Co. thatwould disclose the details of the. poolingarrangement.A short time before a subpoena had
been aent to the office of Thomaa L.Chadbourne. Jr.. counsel for the threecompanies Involved. Mr. Chadbourr.asent word that he was "too busy" to
appear. Subsequently, when Mr. Toppingw>< sent for the memorandum, wordwad received that Mr. Chadbourne andMr. Topping would appear before thecommittee to-day.Members of the committee and Mr.
Cntermyer regarded as Important JudgeGary's admission that the United StatesSteel corporation, which manufacturesat half Its capacity 4." per cent, of thscountry's output, could cut Its prices atleast $3 a ton on manufactured productsand still make money.
Won't Admit Morgan nomination.
Judge Gary regarded the control ofthe steel business by the corporationas a "reasonable" rsther than a benevolent"despotism. He would not admitthat the firm of .1 P. Morgan & Co.dominated the affairs of the corporation.although he said that Mr. Morgan.like every other member of thefinance committee, was consulted Inmatters of policy and personnel of thedirectorate. Neither would Judge Oaryagree that a corporation like the UnitedStates Steel should be prohibited byFederal statute from owning railroadsIn the same way that the railways are
prohibited from owning mines; norwould hr admit that the Steel Corporationcould at Its own pleasure force theIndependent companies from the fieldby doubling Its output to meet Its existingcapacity and eliminating Its preferential."Tf we ruthlessly drove the others out
of business." he explained, "we wouldv « precisely in'- e-tuir- puaiuvn n,_.
