PROGRESSIVES MOVE TOWARD CLEAN-UP’ IN U. S. TREASURY

TIGER OF FRANCE GIVES LIE DIRECT TO ‘SECRET PACT’ -Clemenceau Agrees to Pay All Reparations if Statement Can 3e Proven, By United Press PARIS, Feb. 7.—Bristling savagely one minute, gruffly good natured the next, old Georges Clemenceau, “Pere La Victoire,” gave the lie direct to a statement credited to Lloyd George in an interview in the London Chronicle to the effect “the Tiger” and Woodrow Wilson signed a secret pact during Versailles days. "I never signed a secret treaty with anybody. I cannot understand Lloyd George's object in saying so,’’ Clemenceau growled. “Why,” he exclaimed, “let anybody show me any secret treaty signed by me and I’ll engage to pay all the reparations myselt.” "Evidently, he said, “Lloyd George didn’t reflect Wilson was the only one who could not have signed a secret treaty. He was dependent on Congress He repeatedly reminded us of that during the negotiations. “Besides, what aim could a secret treaty have had? “It would have been futile. Was it concerned with occupation of the Rhineland? You cannot occupy such a region and hide your troops. “Consequently, such a treaty, had one existed, would have been public property quickly.” FUROR SWEEPS BRITAIN Lloyd George Promises Statement on Alleged Wilson-Clemeirceau Pact. By United Prtss LONDON, Feb. 7.—A tremendous furor swept the British Isles and the continent today on the heels of a charge by ex-Premier Lloyd George that Woodrow Wilson and Clemenceau fixed up a secret pact behind his back whereby the American President agreed to occupation of the Rhineland by French troops for fifteen years. The French and British foreign offices were busy as bee hives; the former issued a Hat denial of Lloyd George’s charge; the latter put the matter up to the former prime minister for further explanation. Meanwhile Lloyd George was pressed to produce the pact, or at least to answer the indignant denial of the French foreign office. He promised a statement later today.

Love Song of Schwab’s Wife Gives Singer Chance With Opera Company

Merle Alcock Protege of Wealthy Woman Gets Chance as Prima Dona, By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT SEA Service Staff Writer “JEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Just a song at twilight—- . But it spoiled romance for a struggling engineer named Charles M. Schwab and an unassuming girl named Eurania Dinkey. It wove itself into those events which raised Charles M. Schwab to be one of the great millionaires of the world and gave to Eurania Dinkey Schwab the world's most beautiful collecitcn of jewels. And finally it reached out and brought into a childless home a girl who was finding the road to fame and fortune pretty rocky. The girl is Merle Alcock who was signed up by the Metropolitan Opera Company the other day. AH singers sooner or later expect to make the Metropolitan. Maybe Merle Alcock would have made it anyway. But the road was considerably shortened because Mrs. Charles M. Schwab, remembering a certain song back in ’BB3, reached out a helping hand. It is the first hint of the real romance in the life of a woman who has consistently kept herself away front the public. This Is the way Merle Alcock tells it: Girl Was Sip„ng “Mr. Schwab was an engineer for some steel company back in 18S3 when he had occasion to call upon a Mr. Dinkey in Lnretto, Pa. In the living room a girl was singing. It was a simple song—the kind 1 that music teachers rivk their purtHs. ■ “Mr. Schwab paused by the door. He loved music and had himself learned to play the piano. He went in and asked Eurania Dinkey if he might not play for her while sht sang. Eurania said he might. “After that he w r anted to come again and again, but Eurania would only let him come when her professor had given her anew song to learn. A few months later they were married. Prosperity is a pleasant thing, but Mrs. Charles M. Schwab found that it leaves very little time for the cultivation of one’s musical talents. She sang the old songs less and less. , An organ was set up In the great stone mansion at Riverside Dr. and Seventy-Third St., and Archer Gibson was regularly employed to play upon It. Artists of the concert stage were Invited in to sing. Had No Personality Then one night back in 1916 there was introduced a girl, dark-haired and a little frightened. She was Merle Alcock, and somebody had just told her she’d never be a success because she hadn't any personality. Merle Alcock sang, and Mrs. Schwab, listening, forgot th stone mansion and the expensive organ and the dinner guests. She saw instead a modest living room back in Loretto, Pa., and a girl with her heart in her throat and a young man bending over the music. “My dear.” she told Merle Alcock afterward, “your voice sounds just as mine did when I was a girl.” Forthwith Miss Alcock became the protege of Mrs. Schwab. She will do many of the things that Mrs. Schwab might have, done if she hadn't been the wife of a millionaire. All of which is the story of how a little song reached through the years and made three people happy.

Statement By United Press JEKE Is the statement made by Lloyd George which has aroused statesmen in England, France and the United States: “There was the proposal for fifteen years military occupation of the Rhine frontier by the allies. I was opposed to It. I was called away to London. When I returned I found Wilson had surrendered to Clemenceau and thus the French gained that right to occupy the Rhine country. I have only quite recently discovered that during my absence in London, Clemenceau and Wilson signed a secret compact on this question.”

Committee Named to See That Charges of Liberty Bond Duplication Get Public Airing—Fear for 'White Wash' of Scandal, By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Convinced a gigantic bond fraud has been uncovered by Charles B. Brewer, assistant attorney general, progressives in Congress will meet tomorrow to plan a campaign for “cleaning up” the Treasury. After examining evidence of duplication of Liberty bonds Wednesday a volunteer committee of progressives was appointed to see that the whole affair gets a public airing. This committee will decide;

1. Whether Brewer’s evidence should be presented to a grand jury at once, or 2. Whether a congressional investigation will precede court action. Representative King, Illinois, who has followed Brewer’s investigation for more than a year and now has the keys to the same deposit vaults

charitable institution, the new arrangement whereby patients, when able to pay, are charged, netted $34.061.03. an Increase of $14,171 over 1922. The 1924 total is expected to reach $60,000. Approximately 66 p*r cent of the patients during 1923 were fuli charity patients, the report says. Dr. Hare stated in most CJtsea patients would rather pay a small amount than accept full charity. While hospitals over the country showed an average cost of $5.15 per day for each patient, city hospital operated at an average cost of $3.50 or 60 cents lower than the lowest other hospital of the same classitt cation. Tho charge basis was Instituted Dr. Nafe said, because of the increase in tne upkeep of the institution which would have over burdened taxpayers, In keeping pace with the advance of medlctj.l science and other hospitals, a clinic for heart, diabetic, orthopedic, rectal, eye and obstetrical cases, was installed In 1923. A total of 692 patients were cared for in this clinic and 2,252 examinations made. Dr. Nafe said that with the addition of the social service department and the modern X-rav rooms recently, the local hospital ranks with the leading institutions of the country.

He said it is more likely to result in a “white wash” and “coverUig-up process” than “getting at the facts.’’ “From the preliminary inspection of Brewer's evidence,” King said, “I am convinced there is something rotten in the treasury and the bureau of engraving and printing.
